Bingge vs Bingmei!
I can't remember/find the post I saw recently describing this, but reading the books I pictured both versions of Binghe differently based on their experiences. Bingge being obsessed with looks and excess because he can't have the things he really needed/ wanted and trying to fit a standard by changing things about himself that he may have been bullied for in the past vs Bingmei having his shizun and knowing he is loved as is. I see being tan from working outside as a kid or having unruly hair that you were never taught how to care for being things Bingge feels he has to fix about himself after being ridiculed for them by MF and maybe SJ.
