#IDK IF THIS IS WORDED RIGHT BUT I JUST EANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT THIs!!!!!

[bigquestionmark]

a lot of people act like xie lian was entirely unaware/ignorant to the power imbalance in his and mu qings relationship when he was probably the most empathetic and understanding towards mu qing. for example, he defends mqs behaviour to fx multiple times because he understands what causes it.

i think he just believed their friendship overcame this power imbalance (which was easier for him to do because he wasnt negatively impacted by it unlike mu qing).

whereas, despite how deeply he cared for xl, mq couldnt overlook it because he was literally xls servant and was faced with this power imbalance everyday.

xl saw mq as his friend first, however mq believed he was viewed primarily as a servant

#IDK IF THIS IS WORDED RIGHT BUT I JUST EANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT THIs!!!!! #people act like xl is so emotionally unintelligent its so odd to me #especially bc his emotional intelligence and compassion is like one the his defining features #he was just a little insensitive to it bc he was like 17 #heaven officials blessing #heaven official's blessing #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #mu qing #xie lian #xianle trio #kinda
