my badly put together two cents on the next episode preview cause I’m seeing a lot of people confused by Jim’s behavior

Jim has a BIG inferiority complex and trouble accepting his own sexuality and it is shown over and over through the previous episodes. His sister says love between two men isn’t real / doesn’t work, and back when he was young and bold and brave he thought he could prove her wrong‬. This was the one thing he was sure about! Young Jim not yet Uncle Jim maybe was ready to fight the world! He was going to show them love between men was real! This was the stone in which Jim built so much on. Of course it was real and it worked because his love was real and WOULD work. There was no space for doubt with all the love and surety he felt. Then he finds out Beam is in a relationship with a woman, and that issue doesn’t get resolved until years later. And it’s? He says so himself to Wen “well I did prove her”. And he spent so long with the internalized notion that the reason his relationship failed, this one thing he never ever doubted, was because he was a man, and the then love of his life found exactly what his sister and the rest of the world was always telling him: real love in a heterossexual relationship. Not going to go through all his other problems about relationships and cheating but Aof was a GENIUS when he made “the other person” in this messy triangle a woman. It stacks up on every single prejudiced brick Jim had to put up with all his life and cements it neatly. Jim’s walls are not only high but they are incredibly fucking sturdy. And he didn’t build it alone he definitely had help but damn. There was a lot of work put on to it.

I’m not saying people are supposed to like this scene or think it’s acceptable behavior considering Jim is gay himself but it is incredibly on point and in character of what Aof has shown of Jim so far. The man knows what he is doing and not once he made it seem like his characters were black and white with foolproof morals or logic.

That’s just my humble opinion though :) I think Jim (and everyone else) is a very well rounded, multidimensional character with a complex line of thought. Maybe I don’t agree with everything they do but I sure as hell can see where they’re coming from

#moonlight chicken #idk whenever someone says 'oh this doesnt make sense' for whatever happens on this show i die a little cause u dont getttttt ittttttt #u dont gotta agree but aof is making these characters sooooo relatable on sooooo many fronts #i dont need to like it or think in this situation i'd do the same but i can.... empathize with everything they do #mlc Jim #moonlight chicken jim #jim says he doesnt like complicated things and proceeds to be one of the most complicated characters with complicated emotions ever written

Something moonlight chicken is doing that I find so good is the past relationships

With the flashbacks, we've gotten you *see* just how happy both Jim and wen's past relationships were. They were *good* and *loving*. And those memories don't just disappear when the bad happens, and in wen's case make it hard to break loose. For Jim, he remembers the good before it was shattered so why would he want to risk something being broken like that again?

I just find that the *way* the flashbacks have been shown has mattered just as much
