Finally... The Hottest Manwhores Of 1997 Are In The Same Game

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

Weird how people say Nie MingJue bullied Jin GuangYao when their late-game interactions were basically just Jin GuangYao being all, “I know Koi Tower said we would execute the mass murderer Xue Yang so that he can’t kill more innocent people, but keeping him alive in jail so my dad and I can continue to use his specialized skill sets in murder and demonic cultivation is totally the same thing as executing him, Da-Ge.”

And Nie MingJue’s response to that was a passionate, “NO, no it is NOT.”

Like Jin GuangYao wasn’t some hapless victim during these exchanges?? (And actually the victim between them has always been Nie MingJue so jot that down.) He willingly swore brotherhood with Nie MingJue too, knowing what Nie MingJue was like with Nie HuaiSang, knowing Nie MingJue was going to bear down on him with all that same Big-Brother-might to make Jin GuangYao get his act together.

“Where is your saber, HuaiSang?”

“Where are your braincells, Jin GuangYao??”

Calling it bullying just underlines the fact that Jin GuangYao only intended to use his new found family for personal gain and it was never out of any emotional care or support. His Sworn Brothers truly become nothing more than stepping stones. If Jin GuangYao was ever actually honest about what was happening to and around him at Koi Tower, it might have looked less like a one-sided argument with Nie MingJue and more like actual conversation. Even Lan XiChen’s support of Jin GuangYao was based on one-sided sympathetic presumptions rather than Jin GuangYao actually talking to him. Nie MingJue was demanding answers for all the BS and Jin GuangYao hemmed and hawed and acted spineless, which only made Nie MingJue angry because Nie MingJue knew Jin GuangYao was a capable and intelligent person who can get shit done.

If it was bullying, Nie MingJue wouldn’t have had to tell Jin GuangYao never to approach him again. If it was bullying, Jin GuangYao wouldn’t have needed to go to the Unclean Realm with a peace offering. If it was bullying, Nie MingJue wouldn’t have had to give Jin GuangYao a third chance at forgiveness when Jin GuangYao promised to have Xue Yang’s head in two months.

Because in the end, Jin GuangYao stopped trying to pretend to be pitiful and spineless in front of Nie MingJue because Nie MingJue knew him better than that. So Jin GuangYao had to own up to being capable and intelligent and admit, “I do, in fact, have braincells. You are absolutely right, Da-Ge, and I brought them this time.”

Except Jin GuangYao lied, he left his braincells at home, because once again he only brought the Collection of Turmoil which he used to kill Nie MingJue because Nie MingJue was always the victim of Jin GuangYao’s abuse and it was never the other way around!

Black boys go through depression. Black boys have anxiety. Black boys doubt themselves. Black boys love. Black boys struggle. Black boys think, and Black boys feel. Black boys are just as human as anyone else.

“omg calling an underaged character gay or lesbian is really gross n inappropriate!! they’re a child?? no one should be projecting sexualities onto kids!”

I made a meme.

if i can impart any one piece of wisdom to y’all, it’s to, whenever possible, assume good intentions

assume people are trying their best, want to be good and treat others well, and that when their behavior doesn’t align with those goals, it’s because of outside factors that are pushing them to their limit

it’s hard to do, it doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s worth it

I always forget that Butch is like. A real actual name that people have. Come look at my beautiful children femme and twink
