had an epiphany about the tolkien to mdzs pipeline just now (everyone say thankyou to the last post i reblogged)

compare the arc of wwx's first life to the choices made by the majority of the key characters in lotr throughout their stories. the impossibility of the road, the knowledge that the odds are stacked so high against you that to make the attempt is to walk alone in the dark with no hope of ever seeing light again -- and the knowledge that you will do it anyway, because you must. because that's who you are. because you can't bear to see this need (this injustice, this final desperate chance, this plea for help from the innocents of the world) and turn away.

but we will meet them in battle nonetheless.

i'll walk my single-plank bridge into the night.

of course, in lotr the fate of the world rests on these choices, and they make it past those odds (not all of them, and not unchanged!) to the impossible achievement of their quest. in mdzs wei wuxian's borrowed time eventually runs out, and only a-yuan survives.

(but a-yuan survives! one soul lives who would otherwise have been lost! and of course, wei wuxian gets his second chance in the end)

but that's the only difference really. the arc of one story ends more explicitly in tragedy than the other, but the choices are of the same cloth.

idk it's about sticking to who you are and what you know is right even when you know you'll most probably fail. that it's worth it, to hold back the darkness for just a few more days or weeks. to know that you did everything you could.

it's knowing that you have to try.

did you know nie huaisang formed his golden core 8-9 years later than his peers?

did you know nie huaisang was possibly as young as 22 when his brother died?

did you know that in cases where someone is finding the process difficult, the final stage of core formation can be precipitated by heightened emotional stress?

anyway,,,

now don't think about how proud da-ge would have been, and how he never got to see it

the worst thing about writing original fiction is the HORRENDOUSLY limited number of people with which to yell about it. what do you mean my collaborator is asleep and my sibling hasn't had time to catch up the latest chapters yet. i'm going to fucking explode

Okay I know you're busy with other stuff and that's perfectly understandable but I just want you to know that I would KILL for you to continue the MDZS/Yuwu crossover series.

ahhhhh you're too kind <33333 well we'll see, if something kicks at that particular obsession again it might happen but probably not for a while!
