shitpost dispatches from guanyin temple & the sangyao dungeons - [10/?]

with the important caveat that no, jgy was absolutely not attempting to kill or harm nhs prior to this moment, but I would bet cash money on him exacting some pretty bloody retribution upon his beloved a-sang if he'd survived the events of guanyin temple (and also I think he would win)

#mdzs #mdzs shitposting #sangyao #not my favourite flavour of sangyao tbh #i prefer to read/write them without the revenge vision quest hovering as the dramatic irony elephant in the room #compels me tho #just to ramble abt this a bit more in my own tags #huaisang's one advantage throughout his entire revenge quest is that jin guangyao does not suspect him of anything #i have many additional thoughts here about how jgy's fatal flaw wrt nhs is overlooking and underestimating his capacity #for presenting one face to the world while keeping his real thoughts and feelings and ambitions hidden away #(and where do you think he learned that from a-yao? i'm gonna go out on a limb and say 'not er-ge or da-ge') #whereas nhs's fatal flaw (and it is not something that I perceive as fatal within the text #so much as supposition wrt his mental state post-canon) #is his inability to commit himself to any work he's not personally invested in #this is endearing and cute and a little exasperating when he's at lan summer camp #but wrt jgy it prevents him from looking past *what* jgy has done to nmj and asking himself *why* #I do think it is inevitable he will ask that question in his future just as lxc was desperately asking it at the end of the confrontation #the tragedy here is that nhs orchestrated the death of the only person who could ever give him that answer #and now he will never know #jin guangyao #nie huaisang #he did crimes??? good for him 😌 #let him have birds!! 🕊 #mdzs meta #in the tags anyway #moling queue
