thinking abt him (xie lian) & how he breaks every narrative convention that you would expect. tgcf reads like a story where the main character should be anyone other than xie lian. he should be dead by now. he should be the side character. he should be the one whose memory compels the narrative. he reads like a character whose absence echoes in the current actions of every other character. by all rights he should be a laura palmer & the story would make narrative sense, probably, if he was gone; it would be a series of vignettes, all interconnected by this thread of a memory of someone who seems to have been in everyone's life, them coming to realize they're being haunted by the memory of this person, there would be the bereft & tragic lover, survivor, keeping his memory alive. but instead he is, against all convention, still alive. even when he's a thousand years old & forgotten he's defined by this negative space, this absence, these thousands of years of rotten luck and calamity and pain all swirling around the wake he leaves in the narrative. and he's still haunting the story, even while he is present !!! the ghost of xie lian from four hundred years ago topples a domino & then another fourhundred years later, present xie lian has to try desperately to prevent the whole palace falling down on their heads. he is constantly dancing around the minefield of his past & unwillingly embodying his past & he is more than anyone else haunted hunted etc. by it !!!!! anyway a big theme of tgcf i think that i haven't seen talked about much is the idea of like. um. people bumping into people's lives & changing them so much. and the way that happens silently and quietly sometimes and no one else knows. the mundanity of actions that leave massive ripples hundreds of years in the future. the way we never know which of our actions will leave what kind of effect on those we love. etc etc. etc. which probably i will talk about more when i haven't just woken up.but. yeah.

the short version of this post is "wow hua cheng scary, good for hua cheng." the long version is that IT'S INTERESTING how obviously we know that in fact he's cool, and very sweetly in love, and that he is going to be a very good husband to xie lian someday, because we know we're reading a fuckin romance novel and we know we adore him as a character…… AND YET you cannot possibly argue that this does not LOOK QUITE BAD.
mu qing and feng xin's reactions are convincingly justified and notably probably very much in xie lian's best interest—they are, under significant duress, reverting to the old teamwork, thought forgotten, in mutual protection of a man they once loved and had for so long cut off so thoroughly. which is in itself… kind of a lot! that despite everything that happened eight hundred years ago and in the eight hundred years since, for a hot second here all the old arguments are wiped clean away, and they're willing to stand shoulder-to-shoulder and willing to stand up to hua chengzhu (by all accounts a hell of a serious threat) for their prince's sake. sweet!
but the point being it's not like they're wrong; it is not like xie lian's weak protests that certainly it would have turned out alright and certainly no serious harm was meant are not extremely in-character for a guy who has so little self-preservation it's frightening, who seems to have forgotten that it is preferable or possible to avoid pain, who does have kind of a crazy tendency to look for the best in people and let's be honest plausibly might have gotten seriously attached to anybody who was remotely nice to him considering the way literally everybody else treats him constantly. like, luckily hua cheng is cool, and we know this because he's the love interest in our romance novel...
and nonetheless there is another one of these deliberate little reversals happening here, the clear point made that he needn't have been, and had he not been then feng xin and mu qing's intervention, well-intended as it is, is so abysmally too-little-too-late; they abandoned him and everything else also abandoned him and if they had wanted him not to fall in love with a monster they shouldn't have let the monster be the first person in centuries to show the poor bastard any kindness or consideration whatsoever. i dunno. jeezus

cannot stop thinking about jun wu's role in the story. he's xie lian's greatest role model. he's his worst fear. he's the only carrion comfort he had at the worst time in his life. he's his abuser. he's his ideal. he's the only one who touched him comfortingly for centuries. he cannot stand the memory of his touch. he's the one who perpetrated the most extreme acts of violence on his body. he's xie lian himself. he's not xie lian and he never ever will be. he's his father figure. he's his brother figure. he's the perfect inversion of his lover. he still has nightmares about him almost a hundred centuries later. he's the incarnation of every extreme the narrative swings to. he's his jailer. he's his idol. he's his savior. he's his pursuer. he's hunting him. he's grooming him. he's exalting him. he's playing with him. i'm gonna be sick.
