Do you think MXTX deals with themes of self-worth in all of her stories? I'm thinking of Luo BingHe, Wei WuXian, Xie Lian, and Hua Cheng specifically... but also Shen Jiu, Jiang Cheng, Jin GuangYao, and Mu Qing... are there similarities? Differences?

Daaamn, that’s a whole lotta characters to examine here XD

…And really, there’s only more to be added because self-worth is absolutely a recurring theme in MXTX’s stories, and a common hardship to grow from throughout individual arcs. I’d throw in Jin Ling, Qi Rong, Wen Ning and Zhuzhi-Lang too. 

There are certainly plenty of parallels & foils to be found and noticeable patterns are observable in the way self-worth is explored, especially in what caused it and how characters try to cope or compensate for it. 

To do some broad categorization (and some can fit in more than one category!):

Some have self-worth issues stem from the guilt of having committed horrendous acts at one time: Wei Wuxian, Xie Lian and Wen Ning

For MANY in which it’s the result of an abusive background: Jin Guangyao, Hua Cheng, Luo Binghe, Qi Rong, Zhuzhi-Lang and Shen Jiu. 

And for some it’s an inability to live up to expectations: Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling

Mu Qing is kind of a unique case, but uhhh more on him later. 

With the exception of the few antagonists who got tragic endings, we see most of these characters attain resolution in their arcs and move forward in life with greater confidence.

But what’s striking is just how consistently important human connections is shown to be at empowering people and healing the pain caused by those deep-seated insecurities. Having unconditional bonds are what allow even the villains in MXTX worlds to experience moments affirming their humanity. On the whole, connections are integral to the development of all these MXTX characters as they navigate through their issues with their self-worth, so let’s examine the various ways these two linked themes are explored. Since I’ve already written long-ass posts about Hua Cheng here and Wen Ning & Zhuzhi-Lang here, I won’t talk about them much. Also, Shen Jiu will be saved for another post 😉

What’s your prediction of an opening scene in YR season 2?? Ask for Edvin!

YOU GUYS I LOVE THESE QUESTIONS SO MUCH THANK YOU

Okay so. In S1 we started and ended the season with Wilhelm. I think S2 will start and end with Simon. I think we'll see Simon in the car with Sara, pulling up to Hillerska after Christmas break. Students just returning will be gathered in the gardens, catching up, and then they'll go silent as Simon and Sara walk past, but recover quickly and go back to talking. Maybe a few will say something like:

"Do you think he spent Christmas with the Crown Prince?"

"He couldn't have. We saw on TV."

Then we'll get a quick flashback, I'm talking split second flashes, of Simon's phone. A few texts from Wille, asking how his break is going and if he's doing alright and a damning "I miss you". Maybe Simon's only response is "I miss you too. Take care of yourself." I imagine maybe at the same time we'll see flashes of a TV screen broadcasting something like "The Royal Family sends wishes of a merry Christmas" with a family photo (Wilhelm looking despondent as per usual). Then we'll phase back to being at Hillerska.

We'll see Sara looking around, finding Felice in the crowd. They'll hug and happily reunite but Sara will be slightly distant because she's thinking of what happened with August. Simon will walk past them, keen to head inside as soon as possible, when a sleek, glossy car pulls up. The students immediately start calling to each other, "The Crown Prince! Prince Wilhelm is back!"

Simon will pause. Have a split second moment of consideration. Go inside or stay? Maybe the camera will focus on his feet, half stepping forward and half standing still.

But he can't help it. He turns around.

We see Queen Kristina kissing his cheek before he gets out of the car, a chaffeur pulling his luggage from the back. Wille will look sullen, sad. Then he'll look up, eyes finding Simon immediately. And lighting up.

They'll stare. The camera will center on Simon's face.

Young Royals flashes on the screen. Cue the [dreamy electronic music playing].
