Thank you to liddi  for translating <3

 Elise:

Xiang Liu is such a tragic character.

I found this really good quote on Tumblr.

"yes yes characters doomed by the narrative always slap BUT what about characters saved by the narrative? characters who have already given up hope and don't know they have a happy ending? characters who believe they are a lost cause, characters who feel irredeemable, characters who think there's nothing left for them, but the narrative does provide a way out? what about the characters who don't expect anything good, who don't even remember how to wish for it anymore, who get the things they need anyway? what about the characters who actively run from being saved getting saved in a way they can't stop or control. what about being saved by the narrative!!!"

I wish the narrative provided XL a way out.... ???


Hmmmm.  That's an interesting point.  I mean, we see XL as tragic, but do you think he does?  Because in some ways, the narrative did offer XL something that he didn't have before, which is love.  He was given hope and it changed his life and I think, how he thought about himself.

I don't think the narrative could have saved in a fashion that we want, a happy ending or even surviving.  I mean the title of the book / show is Lost You Forever, where XL is the YOU in the title.

That's also why I find folks saying that XY didn't love XL ridiculous.  I mean, it is RIGHT there in the title.  It isn't Lost the Guy I Didn't Care About.  It's Lost THE Love Forever.  And it applies to both CX and XY.  They both lost the love of their lives.

He probably felt that he fulfilled his mission and got to feel love he never experienced before.

I still wanted a happy ending where they fly off into the sunset and explore the world together, logic be damned!!!!

Fang Feng Bei tribute. He has so much charisma and charm <3

I love Fang Feng Bei!  I don't think he gets enough love.  Yes, I volunteer to smother in love!


 nathsketch:

I could never choose a favorite between XL and Bei because knowing they're all him, even the lady on the boat, it's like YES, all of them, please. All the 81 different incarnations. I love all the facets.

It would be really, really, really hard.  But it would be easier to take Fang Feng Bei home to meet the parents.

BUT that's just an extra bonus for being an XL fan.  We get ALL his incarnations!

 Kokuto:

He deserved more.

Yes, of course, that's the happy ending I wanted.  But that doesn't appear to be how XL saw love.  Dude couldn't even stand making XY admit to her feelings for him and wanting to spend her life with him, when he was going to make her forget everything anyways!

And while he may have had some jealous moments (which I kind of wonder was actual jealousy), he didn't seem to be possessive.  And he basically respected XY's decisions.  So, alot of the basic tropes / conflicts of a romance story seemed to be undercut by the characterization.

So, in some ways, I feel like XY.  The things I love about XL are also the things that help keep them apart.  ;p

 nathsketch:

Kokuto, where are you?


STARING.

I looked at the clock and realized, I had been STARING for over a day. 

(kidding)

 Elise:

Her love language is gift-giving. Gift-giving poison that is ?


I LOVE these GIFs.  This last GIF is him thinking, she LOVES me.  ;pp  And look how easy it is make him stop being angry and to smile?  Just give him some love poison!

 Kokuto:

IMPRINTED on her eyeballs!


I can relate.
