blanca was the one who wronged both yut lung and ash though. and what do you think about headcanons like eiji redeeming yue like he did ash and them being best friends?
Blanca didn't fail Yut lung like he did Ash? He did desert Ash but with Yut Lung the situation was different? First time Ash was 13 in the cluches of his abuser and then 19 and hunted down. Yut Lung upon Blanca meeting him was 18, free from his abusers, in a position of power, his freaking employer and unhinged. What do people expect from Blanca to do for Yut Lung here, be his therapist? Stay and keep servicing the toxic person and try to "fix him"? Yut Lung rejects friendships if people aren't acting like he wants them to anyway. And essentialy he looked at Blanca as his devoted underling more than anything. Blanca was honest with him, gave some good advice for once and proceeded to go help Ash finally, can't really blame him there. Blanca wronged him because he ruined Yut Lung's plans by refusing his awful orders which made him feel bad? Yut Lung's the one who keeps making others suffer, yet we're constantly supposed to feel bad for him? Because they stand up for themselves and their friends and leave him? Neither Blanca nor Sing or Eiji owe him anything, he's not a victim in relation to them.
Btw how can anyone throw a tantrum and whitewash Yut Lung partnering up with a pedo, preventing club cod from getting exposed in the media and not caring how thanks to this abuse will be going on, forcing Ash to go back to his rapist because Ash's a beast for him, what he did with Lao, Eiji and Sing, idk was he forced to murder his brothers wives and children who were likely victims, too or it doesn't count because he's an 18 years old?Â
HC of Eiji and Yut Lung being besties is OOC for me, usually it entails Yut Lung being being a flamboyant alpha bitch and Eiji being the boring one who takes being deingrated with patient sighs and indulges him or them having girly sleepovers.
I also dislike the HC of Eiji taking responsibility for fixing/healing/saving Yut Lung? This HC stems from this view of Yut Lung as a vulnerable hurting woobie who didn't mean what he did and just needed a hug. And how he's like Ash so Eiji can do what he does for Ash. Yut Lung and Ash aren't the same. It's like saying Arthur and Ash are the same because they both killed people. Yut Lung choose his ridiculous cosplay as Big Baddie and didnât care that what he did was horrific, he gloated about it. Didnât have anyone who hunted him, wasnât in a situation where he had to fight for his freedom after he killed his brothers but still went after people who literally didnât do anything to him. See the difference?
First off Ash cared for Eiji, equally selflessly and despite what Blanca said didn't just use Eiji as an emotional crutch or treated him like a service. Second, Eiji and his friends are Yut Lung's victims. Are they not at least as vulnerable? The idea of Eiji coddling the person who despised him, ordered to have him/ash shoot/stabbed and made ppl he loves suffer showing no remorse is uncomfortable to me. Nobody should take it upon themselves to befriend their bully. Eiji's kind and empathetic but not a doormat, he stood up for himself and set boundaries. Everyone talks about Eiji's mental health and how he's not subservient but when it comes to Yut Lung we should wish for Eiji to do emotional labour for him, someone who's treated Eiji with scorn and put him down constantly? Be a comfort provider for someone who put a person he loves through hell? He doesn't exist to serve and cater to possible needs and well being of the person who acted abusive towards him and didn't even acknowledge it. Nobody should be expected to maintain a relationship, care and try to change someone who abused them even if it's because they're damaged. Abused isnât even covering it here though, he didn't just stop on feeding his own ego proclaiming how he's better than everyone. As Yut Lung freed himself his goal became being this cartoon villain complete with deranged laughter and he ordered to kill both Eiji and Ash and his machinations ensured Eiji got shot and Ash got stabbed in turn. Funniest of it all is, everyone forgets about it just like almost all main characters forget that he even exists when not in direct presence while Yut Lung is obsessed about them. I donât think Yut Lung is even on Eijiâs radar 99.9% of the time. He drones on and on how much of a failure Eiji is and yet you canât think of more stereotypical loser than him considering nobody ever even spares him a thought.
Yut Lung should redeem himself by himself and I wish we stopped acting as if he didn't actually do anything ever or didnât cause anything or what he did wasn't his fault, poor him. He isn't entitled to other characters he hurt making him feel good and becoming stepping stones to his possible recovery.
All attempts at invalidating/redirecting the discussion about him I see are gross and kids thinking they take the high moral ground by stanning him and judging everyone who doesnât are weird.
