hlht ep 5 // byj ep 7

#byj may be a tragedy. but it is also their love story TO ME #I'M SO UNWELL ABOUT THEM #xcp has always looked at xdq when he's not looking #and by the end. not only did xdq look back but xcp is the one xdq is protecting this time ughuhH #xcp's feelings for xdq have been complicated since day 1 bc xdq has always been family to him #mixed in with inherited intergenerational trauma and the gulf between in their social class #otoh xcp to xdq went from a stranger to a friendly enemy to a confidante/aide and all that- #before even knowing he's family???? which for xdq is insane bc most of the ppl he protects are either family or ppl close to his family #by the time of their first farewell scene. their rs was summed up so perfectly as 即是兄弟也是友生 #they're friends as much as they're brothers !!!! #and by the end of the story. it deepened into. he is him and he is also him. they're essentially the same people- AAAAA #LIANGYUAN I AM SHAKING YOU I'M SHAKING YOU VIOLENTLYyyyyYYY #鹤唳华亭 #royal nirvana #hlht #my posts #ALSO LITERALLY NEVER OVER THE WAY XCP LOOKS AT XDQ WITH TEARY EYES WHEN HE WASN'T LOOKING
