#they keep pickiny them against the world cause theyre found family

[mejomonster]

The biggest fear watching like eps 15-29 of ice fantasy was like oh No OH Dear WHO is Ying Kong Shi's daddy because several things could very easily swing from people are setting up a romance to that's his sibling territory real quick!!

Which his mom being a mermaid??? ALSO added to this nightmare! ToT his mom calls the Mermaid Saint leader mom, and Lan Shang is Shi's Moms older sisters daughter. And everyone was contemplating marrying Lan Shang to Shi which would be cousins?? But then eventually there's a scene with Shi's mom and the Mermaid Saint that sort of implies his mom was treated/regarded "as a daughter" but is not actually her blood daughter. So thankfully I don't think Lan Shang is actually related to Shi or his mom except for being connected to Mermaid clan generally. Not that Lan Shang or Shi would ever be together, since they have a frienemies/friends kind of vibe, but still it was momentarily horrific in the context of Mermaid Saint trying to set it up when reveals hadn't come out yet

Then there's Fire King... Shi's mom thinks she slept with the fire king, but also seems aware on some level she slept with something More powerful than the fire king and the ice king and that's what made shi. So like? While shi is not the fire kings kid... most of the ice kingdom leaders Think he's the fire kings kid, fire king also thinks shi might potentially be his kid, and shi's mom doesn't really reveal to the audience it's probably something More Monstrous that is his dad until after all these assumptions got presented. MEANWHILE shi is not as up to date as the audience, thinks his mom lied and he IS the fire kings kid, which fucks him up a lot personally for a myriad of reasons - he thinks he's the enemy's son, he thinks as a kid when he killed the enemy fire prince he killed a Family Member, he must feel confused af about the situation with Yan Da, he thinks he almost killed his Actual Dad for his ice dad who's always wanted shi dead... just a lot of very sucky feelings for Shi while he's believing the incorrect assumptions. Like shi baby thank Fuck you aren't actually the fire kings son but just you thinking you are is already hella traumatizing

THEN there's the case of people maybe finding out who his actual daddy is later... the saints clearly got one of their own killed trying to read baby shi's future, that killing force was probably his dad/connected to his dad. His dad is probably some ancient fire ice immortal tribe, probably had to do with the She Yin situation idk.

Also the dark mist possessing shi and claiming it was from a higher form of immortal and wants the 3 realms to burn? Fascinating. I am wondering if like.. whatever immortal is the dark mist/shi's dad is like the USUAL xianxia type immortal - actual heavenly clan or demon clan type, since this whole show so far has operated in a world of immortals devoid of those Two usual powerhouses. Maybe long ago the heavenly clan and demon clan got wiped out (either by each other or the other clans like ice and fire), and this dark mist remnant wants payback. Having a bigger Immortal Type be Shis dad might also explain why he is So Overpowered.

#ice fantasy #ice fantasy lb #liveblog #basically 1 arc was like let me give the watcher a heart attack about all the ppl being pushed toward shi romantically #who might be his siblings -.- then eventuallt the show was like #ACTUALLY dont worry none of those people are his dad. BUT his actual dads probably pure Monster #which is worse for like. him in general long term. #but then poor shi isnt up to date on the monster dad reveal. hes still stuck on the incorrect 'my dads the fire king' info #which is traumatizing him plenty currently #also i found it interesting this show went the Ka Suo and Shi actually atent related at all route #because i expected shis mom to be where the not-ice powers came from so i was definitely wrong lol. i figured ice king Was his dad at first #so like. its even more impressive to me that ka suo is SUCH a good older brother he continues to see shi as his little brother #to care about and love regardless. shi also is imoressive for continuing to care about an older brothers happiness and freedom #when they have zero blood tie or political reason to need or want to help each other now. #they keep pickiny them against the world cause theyre found family #which means a lot to me. especially when in royal shows and clan shows. family ties and reveals can drastically change allegiances #like. for example Love and Redemption - no matter how good luohuo jidu was Bai Lin could only see him as a devil #or sifeng. no matter how close he was to seventh bro as a found family friend. once #he was revealed demon instead of human he was immediately distrusted.
