The tone shift in this ep is so jarring and yet such a blessed relief!

CQL and parenting thoughts
bsky.app/profile/styg...
I'm coming back to this because I still have a lot of feelings about it. So much of CQL is about going from being a child to raising children yourself, and needing to think about what to keep or lose from your own parents. And what I love is that the show (sticking to CQL here)+
The Jiang parents get a lot of (deserved) hate, but I honestly just find them complex and interesting. They did what they could with the tools they had, just like LQR. Honestly just like all of our parents, or, gulp, like us.

CW // abuse I think LXC might have surprised everyone when he came out of seclusion. I think he might have been a new man.
Because there is no way that was a healthy relationship even before everything came out in the end, and 1/

Hey welcome to the club! I know it’s a lot to take in, but speaking from the other side of the process, there’s loads of affirmation and great company. And yeah, wild flashbacks to childhood. 😕

LQR threadfic on parenting and grandparenting

/corporal punishment Not sure how to start this, except to say that it doesn't really take long to count 300 lashes, but it feels long to Lan Qiren, who pointedly watches the whole time. Wangji wouldn't know it, but in that moment his face looks just like his father's.

CQL characters as Anne of Green Gables characters

Okay. CQL characters as Anne of Green Gables characters, a thread I might update or might not.

Thoughts on WWX letting it all go after coming back
bsky.app/profile/styg...
I've seen a few people talking about post-resurrection WWX as if he's shoving trauma down or ignoring what he's been through. Which obvs is a valid read! Just, for me, it takes away one of my favourite things about him, which is his decision to move past resentment and find 1/

More of the CQL rewatch
bsky.app/profile/styg...
About to start my first CQL rewatch since I started reading fanfic and learning Mandarin and watching a bunch of other Cdramas. Also first time on Viki. I approve of my decision, well done me.

CQL rewatch (broken thread, I think)

Wei Wuxian really is SO put out when Xue Yang first shows up. Just immediately threatened by the presence of another charismatic goth.

Mini what-if thread
bsky.app/profile/styg...
What if Yanli survived, actually, but it's CQL canon and too late to tell WWX. And then what if, after all of it, after a decent time, her brother arranged for her to marry the Lan sect leader. Now all three sects are connected, and maybe JC thinks privately JYL is safer too.
