Why is it that the more I look at Lang Shilong the more I’m getting Yang Jian from Lotus Lamp vibes from him??? Idk I just feel like so much of his motivation centers around filial piety/孝 but not in a Liu Chenxiang way, just specifically in a Yang Jian way

#I know it’s a strange parallel but #the irony of doing the same thing that harmed you unto someone else #like if you think about it #his family was hurt by legal corruption #even though what he was doing in aai can’t really be called corruption it’s still a flaw in the law enforcement system #Yang Jian’s mother was put under a mountain as punishment for disobeying Heaven’s will #but after Yang Jian saves her he essentially does the same thing to his own sister #the irony of someone who suffered because of heavenly will becoming the enforcer of it #very different examples from very different pieces of media but I feel like the connection’s there #very stretched but it’s still there #shi long lang #ace attorney investigations #i should probably read Lotus Lamp after I finish JttW lol #the result of consuming pop culture media while learning about mythology is that you start drawing weird connections
