#squished nezha is valid

[lotus-duckies]

so basically what i'm saying is i think nezha being in the womb for 3 years stunted his growth since prior to reincarnation, nezha was very squished and stupid in comparison to leizhenzi and longnü, who are supposed to be 7 and 8 respectively

you know, the same age as nezha

and then after reincarnation he was reborn to be in a better fitted body to match them

tbh when i first saw the way his lotus form was designed and how he looked next to his friends, i was wondering if it was a 'well shoot we designed nezha and his friends separately and they don't look like they're the same age we need to fix that' situation. you know, just my opinion

Yall pls remember theres a difference between media nezha and God nezha.

Media nezha is fun to squish and whatever but we need to remember that he is also a worshiped God in China and Taiwan (probably more but I don't know which other countries) so you can't really take hcs and ideas and media representations of nezha and then point at God nezha and say the media representation you saw is the only valid version of nezha (*cough* the age discourse *cough*)

Media representations are nothing more then media representations. A cute cartoon or a story with creative liberties taken.

This goes for all of the Chinese gods honestly.

Also note there's nothing saying nezha is eternally 12. That. Is a media. Representation

Lmk nezha is an adult, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Media Representations of him as an eternal child are good too. Nothing wrong with them. ( Legend of hei. Fei ren zai)

I get it, I'm still learning too so remember to do your research.
