big fan of when a character is dead and the narrative frames them in a very angelic, soft, gentle manner but then it turns out not only are they still alive (plot twist) but theyre alive in the most gruesome and horrific way. your loving kind mentor who motivates you to fight in their memory came back wrong and theres blood and dirt under their fingernails from clawing they way out of the grave.

There's an "unpopular hot take opinion on tbhx" going on Twitter, and, not to be rude, but wtf, people? Most of the things people are claiming are just... wrong? Not in a "your opinion is wrong because i don't like it" but in a "it's wrong because the fucking text is there and you are ignoring it."

Some of the things I'm seeing:

"It's full of plot holes; the timeline is fucked up."

Welcome to season 1 of a show. Shocking, I know. Plots are unfinished, truths are not shared... this was the prologue. The introduction. Of course there are missing bits

Time line thing... idk?? Play attention??? Most arcs tell you the year?? Details on the background????? It's not that hard????????????

"Queen arc is misogynistic."

Queen is a narrative pawn in the hands of men. Of course her arc is. She wanted to create more female heroes; congratulations, she did it. But it has a price: the narrative of woman as hero is still controlled by the men in power, who are going to push the woman vs woman narrative, forcing things like Bowa vs Queen fight that is VERY male gaze. BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN BY MEN, HER BOSS AND HER FATHER

"Ewwww so cringe how Jhonny acts. He's almost 30!"

Being a corporate puppet since the age of 9 makes you maintain your public persona 24/7, even close to your friends, you know? He only drops the act when he's 100% alone. Disney kid, be glad the guy is not doing lines in a bathroom, for God's sake. I don't think he even knows how to act non-cute in front of people.

LJ first motivation at age 9 was REVENGE AND KILLING A MAN. And the world took that chance from him and now he has 0 motivation, depresion and only taking care of BJ keeps him afloat, I think he's one of the characters in line for a pretty bad breakdown

All the npc/extra/side kicks deads

WELCOME TO THE CONCEPT OF PAWNS USED BY A BIGGER SYSTEM

Moon: You get out? You die

Smile: we find a better use for you now. We don't want you/you fit a better narrative? We do that!!!

No one can escape the system; no one can escape the big bad wolf that is ✨capitalism✨

"Lucky Cian's arc is about being free and she ends up trapped again"

In Spanish we have a saying: "From Guatemala to Guatepeor" (from bad to worse). An arc not having a good ending for the character IS NOT A BAD ARC OR LACKING SENSE. IT MAKES SENSE, SEASON 1 PEOPLE. SEASON 1. NO ONE IS IN A FUCKING RIGHT PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and I'm sure there was more but.... people... it's not that hard. I know life has fucked up our brains and atention spans, but nothing needs to be wrapped in 24 eps. Endings don't have to be good and nice for the charactes. Bad shit can happen. And that's okay. That's part of the narrative

"Lament for Icarus" Herbert James Draper with Wreck and Nice! Really love this painting and felt it suited these two ^^

The first two episodes of Cyan's arc are phenomenal at show-don't-tell storytelling. But, they also don't give a lot of context for certain things:

In China, kids in orphanages are forced out / are no longer eligible for adoption at age 14. Some stay in the system to work / for education, but many are also thrown onto the streets with little to no prospects / choose to leave.

Why is this important?

Cyan and Luo try to escape when they are 14- meaning the Dean was already committing a crime by not letting her go when she wanted to, but also serves as further reasoning for why she didn't know where Luo was post escape. Since he had already been tossed from orphanage to orphanage, and had to be "bribed" to be good (or, if you interpret it that way, get a birthday present), it makes 100% sense he may have been thrown onto the streets and she'd need help finding him by the time DOS came knocking. This also somewhat implies that, assuming the orphans in district 70 were available for adoption, no one would adopt Luo / Luo acted up intentionally to not get adopted to stay with Cyan.

*While Yang Cheng gets government assistance into his 20s, he was at a government funded orphanage. The Dean says he opened the orphanage himself, making it a private entity that wouldn't give Luo or anyone else additional support.

We see Cyan's blue headphones in their original packaging in Luo's room behind him while he sings My Color- indicating he gave them to her or got them at some point for her since the Dean wouldn't let her wear them if she ordered / asked for them- especially since Cyan before had mentioned he controlled what she wore.

Luo has different nicknames depending on the language. He is "Calamity" in English, "Disaster Star / Comet" in Chinese, and "Plague God" in Japanese. Disaster Star / Comet is mythologically significant for China, as it indicates great social upheaval, change, and restructuring - all of which Luo does within the show. The mythological significance is somewhat lost on the English dubbing, but keeps some in the Japanese- as it still fits him; a spirit forced from community to community, associated with but not always the cause of plagues and misfortune.

enlighter is the truth-seeking hero, he's not very good at it, and that makes me very sad

wajjs

if you guys really like a fic you should, like, actually engage with it & leave kudos & comments btw. recently on reddit someone talked about their experience in fandom after they deleted all their fics bc they felt ostracized & lonely (no one talked to them, no one commented on the fics). right after doing that, the person started getting messages on their social media profiles from different users telling them the fics meant so much, they raved about them in discord servers, etc etc.

like that guts me, you know? because writing IS kind of a lonely experience and when you share your writing you want to CONNECT with others. but if no one comments, if no one talks to you, if they make you feel like you're screaming into an empty room, of course you're gonna delete everything & leave. of course you're gonna be pissed off when suddenly out of "nowhere" others start popping up talking about how much them & their discord server loved your fic.

HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS OFF DISCORD. HAVE THEM WITH THE WRITER. we are fans too! like damn. can we not make people feel extra lonely or something. leave kudos. leave comments. talk to writers!!

Absolutely fucking insidious moment that gets completely glossed over btw

"Yeah we had to girlbossify you. For the audience." Absolutely ties into the themes we see in Queen and Luo Li's arcs, of how every successful woman has to be held up as a Girlboss Feminist Icon (TM) and the weird standard of what makes a "strong" woman. Cyan has to be a "battle angel" now? She has to be independent and self-sufficient, even though she simply would not have gotten to where she is now without Luo's friendship and support? (Is that why they told her he was dead? For her image?) And don't even get me started on the Sacred Maiden thing being called "weak" and "passive"--everyone was reliant on her, that was the problem, and she got away from that by actively rebelling. In two sentences they retroactively paint her past abuse as a matter of her just "being too weak and passive :(((" and shove her present self into the mold of a Strong Independent Woman™™™
