#di lin (from zi chuan) has a very similar character trajectory to bai choufei

[astranauticus]

anyway can we talk about how almost every upcoming liu yuning character is a tragic figure. cuz if im thinking about bai choufei for months after finishing heroes idk how many more of those my mental health can take tbh

#liu yuning #oh so that's what it takes for me to finally make a tag for him #like of his 5(?) upcoming shows 3 of them are adaptations so we know exactly how things end for all his characters #and the answer is 'not good' for all of them! delightful #like spoilers obviously but as far as i can tell #di lin (from zi chuan) has a very similar character trajectory to bai choufei #starts out in the protagonist trio slowly gets pushed onto a path that eventually leads to him betraying his brothers #and thats the one thats projected to air this year so. delightful #as a side note the zi chuan animation is on myanimelist?? wild #zhuo bufan from floating world is the worlds best swordsman in the era when guns are just starting to get popularised #you can probably already see how that's gonna go for him #completely unrelated side note but the story of zhuo bufan and his love interest is so fucking weird #like this is all from that one floating world bts live lyn did but #she is somehow simultaneously his 师妹 (younger girl taught by the same master) and 师娘 (wife of his master) ?? #no idea how that works dying to find out #and best for last! luo mingxi from legend of anle #just like. classic pathetic love triangle victim male second lead stubbornly in unrequited love with the female lead #also his health is terrible like hes constantly ill or something #like you can just tell hes gonna be one of those. pathetic meow meow wet paper bag men and im so here for it #hilariously after heroes came out a lot of lyn fans who read the book the legend of anle is based on were talking about how like #luo mingxi has this. super likeable characterisation #like you can kinda tell the entire fanbase is just really sick of the bai choufei discourse #and like desperately hoping that his next character is gonna be just. wholesome and unproblematic #well with the way the chronologies worked out in the end we're sure as hell not getting that if zi chuan airs first but oh well #the writer and director on zi chuan are from the writing/directing team of ultimate note actually so i have a lot of hope #cuz ultimate note was a really good adaptation so clearly this team knows what they're doing #actually ultimate note has 3 credited directors and of those 1 of them is a director on both zi chuan and floating world #another is directing a journey to love #c ents a small world i guess ???
