The five most normal people you will meet in the jianghu

bonus, baby sword deity:

#the blood of youth #blood river #li hanyi #zhao yuzhen #yan zhantian #luo qingyang #xie xuan #wushuang #tboymp #brmp #mp

#the blood of youth #wuxin #wu xin #ye anshi #tboymp #mp #they just came from a gambling place too so it's basically nevada

"Whether it's Tianqi City, the Xiao imperial line, or even your emperor, all are worthless to me."

bonus:

#who else is doing it like her #the blood of youth #blood river #li hanyi #xie xuan #tboymp #brmp #mp #the whole arc where she's like 'okay prince langya my mom says i have to protect you but ignore every word out of your mouth' is so funny #he's technically her senior brother but she regards him as her mom's annoying boss #she even tried to get out of protecting him by making xiw xuan do it instead lolol #and then the scene at the end where he's reunited with his ex and she just kinda looks at them and is like lol no and leaves

#the blood of youth #xiao se #xiao chuhe #wuxin #ye anshi #lei wujie #ye ruoyi #tboymp #mp #i don't even ship xiao se and wuxin but they would still have this conversation because wuxin is just Like That

deeply amused by how wacky all the weapon deities are in the blood of youth. they're like some sort of species of poorly socialized cryptid weapon nerds with emotional issues and the ability to flatten a small city if they're in a bad mood

on swords we've got:

Li Hanyi: spends most of her time avoiding people but emerges once in a while to cause massive property damage. wears a fake mustache as a disguise even when talking to people she knows. destroys a local landmark while beating up two kids. seems to have a grudge war going with like half the jianghu. zero social skills and could not give a single shit about it

Zhao Yuzhen: actual princess in the tower waiting to be rescued by li hanyi. has one of the most powerful swords in the world but makes his own out of wood instead. has been the cause of an evacuation on his own mountain several times. peach fetish

Yan Zhantian: just wanders around the world vibrating with rage. that's pretty much it. he likes swords and is angry

Luo Qingyang: sits in his sad boy fort for like a decade or more building up his incel power levels. when they said prince chi had a godfather i was like what sort of cringefail asshat would have that kid as a godson and then he showed up and i was like. ah. i see. that tracks. extremely powerful but takes massive psychic damage from being called a loser

Xie Xuan: potentially more emotionally stable than the other four. hands out a book of pick up lines to a himbo. wrote said book. li hanyi wants to beat the shit out of him for being annoying (or just for existing? unclear with her). got his title by reading every book ever about swords and does not seem to actually carry a sword that i saw anyway? nerd

and in comparison there's the one and only spear deity Sikong Changfeng who is basically just a normal (but very funny) guy trying to run his jianghu city despite li hanyi knocking half of it down from time to time (i feel it's important to note she is one of his seniors and on his side. she still knocks down dengtian tower and ruins his flower festivals. for the bit). sure he is stupid powerful but somehow he remains pretty stable and is a rare good dad in a cdrama

and then there's "liquor deity" Baili Dongjun who spends half the show drunk in a cave

what a bunch

(please note i have not finished the two prequels yet, please no spoilers thank you)

#the blood of youth #tboymp #mp #as far as i could tell luo qingyang did not have any real connection to all the people who died in his sad boy fort city #it was like some redditor read about emet selch and decided to go find a random ghost city to sulk in #lei wujie gets so much credit for realizing that dude's weak spot was his fragile little ego #one of the things i really liked about this show was it was extremely self aware #like the dude was trying soooo hard to be cool and tragic and most shows play that straight #but in this case the show was like no you're right this guy is a loser whose only two attacks are self pity and impotent rage lol #do kinda wish consort xuan had just drop kicked him out of the country though #that part of the story was kind of a mess #i suspect it ties into the prequel stories but....#you can't assume that viewers have that context #especially in the first show of the series #might also have been some translation wonk because they made it sound like she had 0 interest in him #and then she was like let's run away together #????#whatever it was still an awesome show #just gotta keep restraining myself from writing about how it got SO CLOSE to writing women well and then couldn't commit

tianqi's most popular fucked up little guy

bonus:

#the blood of youth #blood river #dashing youth #prince langya #xiao ruofeng #tboymp #brmp #dymp #mp #watching br i was like this dude loathes himself but why #and then i watched dy and was like oh i see yeah that's deserved #if you have not seen dashing youth you might be like what did langya do wrong he seemed so nice...and lol #he is a fascinating trainwreck of a person and got the most perfectly fitting ending for his character #honestly the only ending that would have been even more fitting is if wenjun had talked the emperor into executing him #that would have been perfect #the woman whose life he destroyed convincing the brother he threw his morals away for to kill him...the irony etc...

there's a title words theme going with: the blood of youth, blood river, dashing youth which means that the next show in the series should be called either dashing blood, or youth river, or some ludicrous extension of one of these

what do we think, chat?

dashing blood

youth river

the river of dashing blood

the youth of dashing river

bloody river dash
