WHAT I THINK WOULD GO DOWN IF YQY CONFESSED WHAT HAPPENED
since people liked the one on Bingge (yes I know that makes it sound like a LOT of people liked it; 12 did. That - actually- IS a lot, okay, don’t let social media FOOL you. If 12 people said “hey I liked your analysis” that’d be pretty fucking awesome.)
So, we all know how distrusting SJ is, right? And we know that FOR YEARS YQY has refused at every turn to tell SJ why he couldn’t come back for him (excluding that one time w/ SY); and the more he waited, the more he hesitated, the more guilty he seemed.
I believe that instead of the explanation fixing things immediately (or at all), SJ wouldn’t believe YQY. It was such an easy answer; one that YQY could have told him years ago. Why wouldn’t he think it was just a lie to get him to forgive YQY? If YQY was actually telling the truth, he would have told SJ that day during the immortal alliance conference.
That would of course make not only their relationship even WORSE than it already was, but I’m sure that reaction would DESTORY YQY. From personal experience; if you open up to someone about something that deeply traumatized you, and they turn around and get mad you, and don’t believe you. That’s gonna insanely fuck you up, like the depths of that damage man. (Dude I wanna write a fic like this just to torture YQY lol)
Now, of course, this is all under the assumption that YQY confesses this with SJ as their relationship was before SY hopped in and starting smashing buttons- if the situation was different, I’m sure at some point SJ would trust it.
But we can’t forget how much it hurt SJ too. All that growing resentment and trust turned into contempt won’t just go away with one word. Even if SJ did believe YQY, it’d take way longer to forgive him- no matter how justifiable the cause was. He spent years blaming YQY for his suffering. It’d probably make it easier for SJ to accept his love for YQY (little thing to say that I’m not necessarily saying romantically) , though I wonder if SJ would question if the gods just hate him? It wouldn’t have been anything other to blame for what happened but fate. Guess they just hate him
I really don’t think that confession would go well.
