You know, I find it incredibly funny that most villains get a backstory to show how tragic and sad and sympathetic they are. But the writers looked at Qiao Jin and went, "Oh, we can use his backstory to make him WORSE." In exchange, the Li twins got the brunt of the tragedy and man are they really going through it

#im trying to focus on the funny bits to distract from the pain #i KNEW the spoilers and i KNEW what was coming and it hurts #do the writers not want their audience to be happy?????#also i know some people thought the second season was oddly paced or not as good #and i think its just different from the more slice of life of s1 #and personally as an admitted shonen lover the fast pacedness of this season is great for me too #honestly i think ep 9 was my favourite with its three act structure (think i saw someone say it was chinese theatre tropes?)#it worked SO WELL because maybe its the revue starlight brainrot but theres SO much theatre imagery in the 2nd season #not to mention ep 9 perfectly summed up the donghua as a whole which is to say #past backstory + present consequences + fun folk/fairy tale #which is basically a story of what link click is all about i think #link click #note's notes #fandom spamdom #anyway im in so much pain and i know whats coming for ep 12 guys wish me luck....
