So Klein is white starting out. Heās white as Sherlock. And heās white as Gehrman. But then he changes his skin color during chapter 532 to be darker to fit in.
Does this mean Klein can become a black person?!? Is that blackface?!? I really canāt tell⦠I mean, I guess not because blackface is usually making fun of black people while Klein is doing it to blend in and itās part of his potion, not just some random thing.
Rambling ahead but also a good fanfic idea lol:
But that then leads me to thinking⦠shapeshifters. Shapeshifters can change their shape, but itās not necessarily they can change color or anatomy. Imagine if you see a cat with human skin, no fur, and it just says āmeowā in a deep voice a human peen just dangling. XD
On a lighter note: Can Klein turn into a cat?? I WANT TO KNOW DAMMIT!!
I need a fanfic where Leonard adopt a cat and the cat is Klein stuck in cat form. And the old man is just like āthat is one strange catā and you just see a normal cat but heās like āthereās something weird about that catā and Leonard just shrugs him off and ignores him keeping Klein as his pet.
Then imagine the surprise when the cat transforms into a naked Klein Moretti and Leonard just⦠stares. āI rubbed your belly.ā
āYes you did.ā
āI⦠pet you.ā
āYes.ā
āI fed you cat food.ā
āYep.ā
āCan you turn back?ā
āLEONARD!!!ā
Or depending on whether itās the faceless potion that did it:
āKLEIN?!?ā
āLeonard. Look- I can explain!ā
āYOU REINCARNATED AS A CAT AND THEN CAME BACK?!?ā
ā⦠yes. That is exactly what happened.ā
āOMG I MISSED YOU!!!ā
But also, since Klein was a cat, he got to see a side of Leonard he never saw. Like him talking to himself and his every day home life. How he was grieving the loss of his friends.
Wei Ying had been born to good parents I believe. But then was on the street when they died. Which, couldnāt have really been helped with the situation. Itās not like the parents could have contacted the Jiangs and gone āoh weāre probably gonna die tonight, please take care of our son.ā Because they were talented! They didnāt expect to die!
But then, the Jiangs. I have some beef with them. They mistreat Wei Ying from day one. Getting rid of the puppies may seem like an understandable thing temporarily, but getting Wei Ying to get over his fear should be the important thing. But they never helped him with his fear.
Jiang Fengmian was a pushover.
Madam Yu was abusive to Wei Ying.
And what did Jiang Yanli do? She comforted but didnāt stop the behavior. She obeyed her mother and didnāt offer any real support to her supposed brother. She defends her mother and her little brother who both have anger issues and mistreat Wei Ying.
And you could say, well what was she supposed to do? Defend her brother! Look for a solution! As someone who has been abused my entire childhood, I know how it feels. Wei Ying was taught from a young age that he cannot be too bright or he risks getting beaten with a spiritual weapon!! Even the Lans didnāt whip Lan Zhan with a spiritual weapon after he fought 30 elders to protect the Yiling Patriarch!!
Jiang Cheng has some insecurities and anger issues. Just like his mother. But that doesnāt mean he should just keep shoving Wei Ying down.
Wei Ying most likely has ADHD. And the fact that his āfamilyā doesnāt like the way he acts is just⦠weird to me. Heās talented, heās funny, heās positive! But of course, the family has their issues.
Now, donāt get me wrong. I do love the Jiangs and understand their part in the story. But I also think theyāre kinda abusive towards Wei Ying.
They even groomed him to believe that his life is lesser than Jiang Cheng. That he should give up his entire being for Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli. He shouldnāt have felt obligated to find a golden core for Jiang Cheng. He shouldnāt have felt obligated to tear out his own and give it to Jiang Cheng.
I actually really like it when Wei Ying decided to go off on his own! It was a big move and he had to cut ties with everything he knew. But sometimes, thatās what you have to do.
Did the Jiangs do their best to raise Wei Ying with their own problems going on? Probably. Was it the best life for Wei Ying? Not at all.
But he did finally get a happy ending with Lan Zhan! And Iām so happy for him. Having papapa everyday with his husband and finding new ways to skirt around the Lans 4,000 rules and avoid punishment.
Maybe I just see myself in Wei Ying and am being too harsh. š¤·
Man Iāve been running in circles with my illness. One doctor said āyou have a UTI!ā And gave me antibiotics. A urologist said āyou donāt have a UTI, itās just how you are.ā And then I went to the ER and they said āyouāre VERY infected. You need a different antibiotic, the one they gave you doesnāt work for people like you.ā And so now Iām on a different antibiotic.
My bladder hurts⦠;-;
Luckily, despite my infection being severe, they donāt think i need hospitalization at this time. If the antibiotics donāt help though, I could end up hospitalized.
Update on my sickness: I may be having some heart problems as Iām suffering from two infections at once. So far, no real urgency has arrived but my heart rate keeps changing and my oxygen is slightly low. Breathing is slightly difficult but not enough to warrant ER yet. Tomorrow Iām going to the doctor for one of my infections and Iāll ask them what I should do when I get there. Most likely, theyāll tell me to go to the ER. Which, kinda sucks. But ya know, if I need it I need it.
Iām officially sick!! I got lung inflammation and I feel like shit! No energy either, so like- reading? Writing? Nope. No energy for. ;-; barely have the energy to type this.
HEāS A FACELESS NOW YAY!!!! Letās see who he becomes! (When he turned into Dunn Smith for a second, I almost cried ;-;) but now Iām imagining Klein teasing Leonard by turning into him and exaggerating his impression on Leonard and Leonard just watching with an expression like āreally?ā
Klein: oh look at me! Iām Leonard!
Leonard: pfft. You think thatāll convince anyone?
Klein: I donāt know letās go find out! *starts to strut to the nighthawks*
