Was Nie Mingjue qi deviating when he insulted JGY's mom, pushed him down the stairs, and tried to cut off his head? Bc those do not seem like the actions of a reasonable and just man in his right mind, but I've seen some people defending that bit recently and I wanted to check (I don't own the book, otherwise I would have looked myself lol)

i'm really glad i haven't seen the posts defending nmj's conduct on the staircase lol. man. okay:
nmj is not qi deviating during that scene in the novel, no. jgy doesn't begin playing turmoil for nie mingjue until after the confrontation on the staircase (and i am not interested in relitigating this discourse again, anyone else who may see this and feel inclined to argue with me). so while i definitely feel that nmj's continued cultivation with baxia has influenced and more deeply entrenched his hatred and distrust of jgy, he is not qi deviating in that moment. his qi deviation happens at the martial conference about two to three months later, if i recall the timeline as laid out in the empathy flashback + wangxian's conversation with lan xichen.
which makes it worse in some respects, doesn't it. 😕

I know yesterday was mainly about Seb, but I really have to express how satisfying the race was as a Charles enjoyer... It was like a belated glimpse at the potential Ferrari displayed at the start of the season (including the parallel to Jeddah, where Charles and Ferrari successfully goaded Perez into a pitstop - although he probably would’ve done a two-stopper anyway, but more on that later).
Charles was faultless throughout the whole thing, never putting a foot wrong, never “caving under pressure” as the naysayers like to claim he does. He admitted Ferrari tweaked the car set-up and made a big jump from Friday to Saturday to Sunday, and that he himself had to adjust his driving style to extract the maximum out of the car. He had the right idea about the strategy and made the one-stop work through incredible tyre management while basically keeping pace with Max. Obviously Max wasn’t the target, so to speak, but if you compare Charles’s pace (on used, old tyres he had to manage until the end of the race) vs. Carlos and Checo’s pace (or lack thereof) and complaints about tyre deg... I mean it was a masterclass drive. And the sad thing is I’m sure it’ll go under the radar for most people, as a lot of his better performances have, but it’s worth acknowledging that he gave it his everything and got to finish the season on a high. P2 went where it was absolutely deserved. 👏🏻
