I cannot with this quest man 😭😭😭
Why did Jing Liu think this was a good idea
The way Blade's looking at Dan Heng and also his bombastic side eye
On the other hand their backstories are so sad, I don't really ship RenHeng but I do ship RenFeng
It's super sad that Blade can't move on from Dan Feng and wants closure and keeps seeing him in Dan Heng, when they're different people and Dan Feng will never come back
And sad that Dan Heng probably can't ever live on the Luofu because people will only see Dan Feng
Although tbh Dan Feng's kinda like an overbearing father who's like "you WILL go to law school or I will disown you" to Dan Heng in that one animation on the HSR channel 💀
On the other hand I saw someone say about the High Cloud Quintet that they all were like "let's all have white hair and not tell Dan Feng"
Here's quick sketch of Jing Yuan.😘
I like to think that Jing Yuan was a late bloomer and had a huuuuge growth spurt that made Yingxing very salty
High cloud quintet honest reaction to bunch of young strangers saying "we want to be like high cloud quintet!":
Jing Yuan: *tells a few stories from when hcq was up and happy, encourages them* I'm looking forward to see what you achieved one day.
Blade: do you want to disband and go on your own ways to different sides of the universe after everything crumbles? Nobody says you can't do it.
Jingliu: such a delight to see that our old achievements encourage young generation so much. But everything has its price and this price may be very high sometimes. Are you willing to face any price that comes for your ambitions and friendship when the time comes?
Dan Heng: *some failed attempts to recall anything* okay..?
Baiheng honest reaction: 💀👍
can i just say how much it hurts to read this?? this is a kid, barely 18 years, and caught up in an unfinished vendetta of the adults around him. you can literally feel how confused he gets as the chapters go on and when it gets to the climax and you read this... goodness, it gets real. like you understand how fucked up this all actually is.
i cannot stress this enough that he is a kid. a kid and he watched as the uncle he loved and respected and admired and held upto a standard, the only adult who seemed to truly understood jin ling, who saw how lonely he was and got him a puppy because he couldn't make friends, confess that he was the one behind so much of the disasters and deaths that occurred around him. not only that, but jin ling realizing that the smile his uncle puts on his face is fake. that he can lie so boldly and without a second thought. that maybe he lied about everything; maybe this person isn't who he says he is. all of this in just a matter of seconds.
and then we get to the foundation of his character. in the beginning, jin lings character was all about revenge. for himself, for the death of his parents. all he carried inside of him was hate. it also probably didn't help that jiang cheng was grieving for his sister and his parents at the same time while punishing any could-be wei wuxian. seeing these things, how could jin ling not hate the people who caused him to lose so much?
and now, there is all these conflicting feelings about who the true murderer is. he knows wei wuxian is the yiling patriarch and involved in the death of his parents but he's spent far too much time with him to hate him now and knows that it wasn't really his intentions in the first place. the guy is actually very likeable and has helped jin ling in all the times that they have met. wen ning who was the cause was merely a corpse out of control at the time. he also feels a lot of guilt towards it. as much as those things didn't excuse the murder of his parents, it wasnt reason enough for revenge either.
and jin guang yao, who he thought was kind and genuine. turning out to be a fake. all the likeness he has for his uncle in the past, should he turn it into hatred now? but he really can't. or rather, the past 16 years of positive memories are winning over the hatred of a minute.
so who should he hate now?
because he didn't deserve anything that happened to him. his parents didnt deserve it too. so who should he hate now? who should he exact his revenge upon? who should he blame?
he cries. because these are all heavy emotions and complex feelings for a kid. all the anger inside of him, the pain of being deceived, pouring out of him the only way it can. it is weak and jin ling probably shouldn't cry in front of so many people but he can't help it anymore. he doesn't want to let go of the hate he's nurtured for so long yet he doesn't have the energy anymore, nor does he have anyone to put the blame on.
and then there are those three words that just really tugs at my heart - "he felt wronged".
p.s: the scene where he is unable to look and listen as his uncle takes his last breath. chills.
jin ling is my fav character from mdzs and i just wanted to make a post to appreciate him. he is honestly so underappreciated. the way his character develops from just a really angry child to a child wounded by the actions of others is just *chefs kiss* he is so traumatized i wanna wrap him up in a blanket and hug him for eternity 🥺🥺😭😭😭😭
