I looked up the age of the child actors for young Xiao Lanhua (Xiyun) and Dongfang Qingcang because I thought that would be indicative of what their canon ages at the time should be.
Xiao Lanhua’s was eleven when the show filmed, which yeah that tracks. I always imagined her as 10-11 when she was sealed away.
But bb DFQC’s was also eleven, and wow if that isn’t the most excruciating thing I’ve ever heard. Eleven!! When he survived endless torture and was forced to kill his own father!! When he was put on the throne. He wasn’t even a preteen yet. I hate it so much.

it’s nearly 12am and I’m meant to be sleeping but I can’t so take some rambles while I grind for xp at this zombie spawner —
anyways, recovery is a weird and quite frankly fucking Wild path. it’s nonlinear and is different for everybody but wow is it crazy. when you’re living in a situation for multiple weeks, months, hell even years it’s so easy to forget things outside of your current situation.
and then you get out of it (because you always do, no matter how long it takes, you do get out of your shitty situation), you have to reteach yourself things, right??? because you could’ve been so lost in that haze of depression and stress that you forgot the little things, or your trying to adapt to some kind of new routine.
you get out of it and you’re like “well fuck. what am I supposed to do now? I put so much energy into xyz.” and it’s like. you need to completely rewire your brain.
it’s telling yourself that it’s okay to take baby steps. it’s telling yourself that the people you surround yourself do genuinely love and care for you. it’s telling yourself to find little things to love and appreciate because it’s those little things that are worth living for.
it’s also telling yourself that it’s okay to struggle. it’s also telling yourself that it’s okay if you mess up — recovery isn’t linear. it’s also telling yourself that you deserve the same kindness and respect that you extend to everyone else.
rewiring your brain is slowly learning healthier boundaries and ways of communication, and surrounding yourself with people who will help you grow for the better — even if it’s just by listening to you.
it’s also about going at your own pace. because everyone recovers at different speeds, and it isn’t a race. you’re allowed to take however long you need to heal, there’s no time limit.
and the craziest part is reteaching yourself things like habits. it’s pushing yourself to shower again, or to eat something, or drink water. reteaching yourself is climbing out of that hole depression put you in, but also using your resources to climb out. and yeah you may fall or stumble on the way up, but you always make it to the top.
recovery is wild

My oh my would you look at the time! It's rant o'clock!
So to celebrate two years with tears of Themis I thought wow maybe it's time I read cards/personal stories for the other three guys in the game. I read Luke's route (so like 4 ps episodes + 1st and 2nd anniv cards) and obviously Marius' and I thought okay vyn time.
Other than what we saw in events and main story I didn't know much about vyn especially in a more openly romantic sense and honestly now that I do to some degree I'm not sure how to feel about him exactly? To be honest I felt a little weird about how "planned" their relationship was from vyns point of view. And I don't mean how he planned like the confession of course, I mean how he saw Rosa falling in love with him before she was ever aware and how it was all part of his plan. He's a perfectionist we know that very well but I don't think I like how things went perfectly the way he wanted for the most part save for some minor details that in the grand scheme of things make no difference at all. I think it would've been more interesting if vyn lost control and like Rosa showed him that things don't always have to go the way he expects and things end up all good and stuff. Honestly that detail doesn't matter as long as vyn had the chance to not feel in control for more than a few seconds. I don't know if this happens later on in other cards or not cause again I didn't read them but honestly I don't think it would matter much. Vyn got the most important thing with little to no set back (and no, the whole fiasco that happened in the theater does not count it didn't act as a set back to their relationship at all in fact it did the exact opposite). The story was nice I did enjoy it but I really hoped for more sort of character development for vyn.
Regardless that did not stop me from blushing and smiling like an idiot over the almost sickeningly sweet confession. Vyn sure knows how to be extra huh. It was so so cute and oh dear for how smart she is Rosa sure can be a bit dense at times but honestly it just makes her cuter. And Rosa kissing him first???? Okay I see you Rosa.
I haven't read his proposal card yet cause I kinda want to read all the proposal cards together to like get in the mood or whatever LMAO. so yeah next up artems personal story + first anniversary card and I'm hoping for lots and lots of fluff and cuteness plus of course classic tot murder and drama
