Yknow I kept wondering why the reception of double helix was so different from what I expected.

Because Technically I dropped this babygirl the moment I heard it was another adaptation of a round trip to love. (I have watched the movie and read some parts of the novel to know it was a red flag that I could not personally handle)

Also because I can't enjoy BL, when they are not equally down bad for each other. If it's just one person going insane I get annoyed. But picked it back up because of the intense Lu Feng defense and Yi Chen hate, cause curiosity.

I was already annoyed by Lu Feng in their university before the expose scene where he threw a tantrum over Yi Chen and sex, saying Yi Chen didn't like him back enough. Which honestly is not the type of manipulative I like. And then the brother pissed me off especially after he got the boyfriend.... Like don't play in my face, you lied to your older brother and still refuse to tell that Lu Feng messaged and all that?

Like nope, trying to force the man who loves you to date your brother is not redemption either, it's just you sacrificing someone else by pushing them in a situation neither of them asked for, instead of taking accountability.

And while people could see that. I did wonder why people can't see it for Lu Feng?

Lu Feng choosing Yi Chen over his own parents and family makes sense, when we know from the beginning he doesn't fuck with them. It's not that big of a sacrifice, he hated his father, he straight up does not gaf about his sister either, yknow the only girl who was by his side, his family, who chose him over and over again, even after Lu Feng essentially killed their father. (Homophobes dying because of their homophobia is always funny to me.)!

And I get it. I really do. It seems like a big sacrifice.... But it was the equivalent of Yichen not doing anything to help Lu Feng or telling his brother the truth, to help them because he doesn't care about Lu Feng, he hated him, so he has to put no effort into watching that relationship burn.

They are so similar it hurts my brain and pisses me off, for both of them, it's about what they feel is right. Yi Chen should do what they think would make him happy, instead of yknow, what makes him happy.

It's why despite loving him, they struggle to make him happy.

Which brings me to the main thought again, why don't the people see Lu Feng's selfishness when they can clearly see Yichen.

And the answer seems to boil down to, Yi Chen actually does seem much happier when he's with Lu Feng.

He smiles more, he makes promises that indicate he would stay with Lu Feng for a long time, if outside factors would stop interfering.

He daydreams about it.

He can't move on from him, even when he is given the space...

Yi Chen genuinely does want to be with him. (Which I now think about is not that surprising, considering how everyone else in his life is also super selfish and rarely takes his feelings into account, Lu Feng is similar but at least he tells him he loves and appreciates Yi Chen every day)

Also Yi Chen ices out in distress, his face doesn't crumple or break down easily, he just stops emoting. Whether it's with friends or family, his eyes dull but he's never kicking or screaming, completely internalising the pain but Lu Feng throws it all out in the open, so his pain is obvious to see.

Since Yi Chen doesn't seem miserable on the outside, it's easier to ignore his pain. Easier to forget that he's suffering too.

When the only proof of his happiness has been when he's with Lu Feng or day dreaming about being accepted with Lu Feng.

It begins to feel like, of course Lu Feng is the right choice.

He's surrounded by all those selfish people, why does he not just choose Lu Feng who keeps choosing him?

When in fact Lu Feng has been choosing himself too, it's about his feelings for Yi Chen, his love and suffering are at the forefront for him too.

Coming back and asking Yi Chen to immediately dump his gf? No hi hello how you been? Just get back with me.

Lu Feng is just as selfish as everyone around Yi Chen.

Which is why it is more annoying that Yi Chen hasn't learned to be more selfish too, and still caters to others.

Like omfg, everyone sucks here, why don't you fucking run away?

The answer is even more annoying, because he's used to it. The selfishness of others, being unable to take a stand for himself, seeking out the one person he knows will make the decision for him after being left behind by everyone else who pressured him into it.

I think the only character who did not annoy me in the show was Qinglong? Is that his name? The 2nd CP top, but he was also so boring, I could not care to remember his name.

The little brother is a new actor and already a pro at being annoying, like damn I wanted to beat that little shit up every time he opened his mouth.

Anyways, everyone is selfish, Yi Chen is a people pleaser who never grows out of it.

There's no way, this was going to end happy.

Of course there's people who watch the show specifically for the black flag content. I came into it for that too, but I also get annoyed easily so yeah.... Still loving it, but definitely annoyed too.

[acequinz]

The ep 3 itself drove me insane this season is so fucking good!!!!

Each dramatic reveal had me rolling and the ep 04 and ep 05 are out already... How do I watch????

[insomniacpreacher]

I'm in AWE w/the way color theory is used in SCD. Chusan & Liu yi wear light and dark colors throughout the show to portray how his love is the light that will pull him out of the dark abyss of revenge.

You see them in similar shades only when they're transitioning into each other's lives because of reluctance, acceptance & love realization. Chusan in a black shirt at the end foreshadows how he will embody the darkness to save Liu Yi in season 2.

I have to give xixi credit for this realization because one random insomniac night, I was thinking about how he mentioned that in ep 7, he is standing in the light & liu yi is in the dark. That got me thinking that damn isn't that consistent with their clothes too..

What is it called when I can only sexualise men and only romanticise women? (Fictional because I do neither irl)

Like I have never seen a handsome actor and gone, I wanna date him, but I have thoughts of multiple ways sexual conduct could work out with him.

I have also never seen a pretty actress and gone- i wann fuck her, but have had deep fantasies of being in a loving relationship with her.

The nonbinaries get fully pushed into the friendzone and the genderfluid are using my feelings like a jumprope.

I honestly don't know what that says about me..... I have no interest in dating or sex with others irl.... Like only if someone truly exceptional came around maybe....

But even then not really.

I was going to ignore the "Qifrey is neglectful of his apprentices" complaints because, whatever, people are allowed to be wrong. But the amount of people expecting him to have knowledge he simply Cannot Have has gotten to me so I'm going to be annoying about it. (This post is anime-only friendly, no manga spoilers).

From the start, yes, Qifrey does make some mistakes. He misses the mark on explaining things like the vapor bubble to Coco, and he probably leaves for the great hall a little too soon. Flaw point for Qifrey.

But he has no reason to believe Coco even knows about the Dadah range or other tests. If she did find out about them (through a book or something), he has no reason to expect she'd go there. Besides lacking the knowledge of which specific windowway connects there, he doesn't think she'd go that far when it's only her second day. As he points out at the end of the episode, he expected she was already aware of how dangerous magic could be, and the last he saw of her, she was petrified to operate something as simple as a vapor bubble.

Nor is there any reason to think the other apprentices would push her. This situation has literally never come up before, because the other three would have passed their first test before joining the atelier. Nor does Qifrey have any evidence that the other apprentices would treat Coco badly. He knows her outsider status/the rumors are awkward. But Richeh and Tetia accept Coco easily. And some people seem to forget that childhood bullies are good at acting nice in front of parents and teachers. Agott waits until Qifrey is gone to start pushing Coco around- when Qifrey sees them together, she acts perfectly calm and even actively helpful, teaching Coco how to balance spells.

"Qifrey should have punished Agott once he was back" how would he know what she had done? Tetia and Richeh couldn't tell him, since Agott implied Coco went off on her own. When Coco comes back, she doesn't tattle! She doesn't say "Agott told me I needed to do this", she acts like it was her own idea. How the heck was Qifrey supposed to know? To quote my partner, who is a high school teacher, when he was reading the series: "Okay so the proper teaching thing for qifrey is that he needs to address the ideas that agott is spouting off about how coco is an outsider and unworthy. Its tricky becuase agott may not be saying those thing in front of qifrey"

"But what about in Kahln!" Ok so at the start of that episode Agott says she wants to go off shopping on her own, and this is ok. These characters are teens, maybe twelve at the youngest. At that age, it is not unusual for kids to have some autonomy and be able to go out alone (shopping, to the movies, with friends, etc.). Coco is new and needs more support, but Tetia is very active in keeping an eye on her and keeping them together. And remember, in context, the last forbidden magic activity was four years ago. Coco was given the book as a young child. She's a lead on the brimhats, but an old one. We the audience see the masked witch at the Dadah range, but no one else does. As far as Coco and Qifrey are concerned. the brimmed hats have not been near Coco in like a decade and have no active plan, they just gave her a book and hoped something would happen. Even if Coco went out of the Starry Sword, she'd likely be safe on her own, especially with Tetia or Richeh accompanying her. "What if the brimhats secretly made a teleportation spell hidden in a random alleyway" is not a reasonable thing for anyone to anticipate or plan around. (And frankly, if Richeh and Tetia had split- "I'll go after Coco to make sure she's not alone, you get Master Qifrey for help"- the girls would have been found much sooner).

tl;dr: While Qifrey does have some flaws in his methods, half the things people are complaining he should have done are based on information he could not possibly have, or that no one in their right minds would assume with no basis.

[acequinz]

Wait people are calling him neglectful and bad????

This guy is definitely in my top 10 teachers already!!!!

He's such a good balance of, gently correcting and holding accountable.

Because he did drive home important rules and he has been on point on all the details he has known.

All the kids seem to genuinely love him and he in turn does pay them appropriate Attention while giving them freedom to grow.

[thelightfluxtastic]

It's definitely not a lot of people, I think a small minority. But I've seen a handful of posts complaining that he leaves the girls alone or ignores them too much. Which started to feel like a thorn in my side because I absolutely agree with you, I think Qifrey is one of the best teachers in the media I know of. He puts so much effort into caring for his apprentices both in terms of physical safety and emotional/mental growth. (A great example is him normalizing for Coco that it's expected that her art be rough at first, that's nothing to be ashamed of as she learns.) We'll see more and more of his teaching methods as the series develops. Whatever, people are allowed to hate my favorite character, opinions are opinions, it just bugs me when they're based in bad logic. If you're going to be a hater, hate accurately. :P

[acequinz]

Like people do realise, him leaving them to their own is also for plot reasons????

As in, how is the plot going to go anywhere if he's always there to protect them and guide them. Adventure happens only when you are allowed the space to make mistakes. If he is always there then no one would dare fuck around coco long enough to get into shenanigans.

It matter that when he is there, he's absolutely amazing 🥺

Yknow thinking about it.

Since Qifrey is always covered... And we know drawing those symbols on the body is forbidden magic...

Is his body covered in drawings?
