God.
Am I once again thinking about Mo Ran’s intense and ardent love for Chu Wanning, a love that was so powerful it shaped him into becoming a hero—just so he could feel more deserving of the attention from Chu Wanning that he so desperately craved?
Am I thinking again about how carefully he began considering Chu Wanning’s feelings when he realized how good Chu Wanning was? How he determined as quickly as he could that he would do whatever it took to make sure Chu Wanning was happy, no matter how hard it was?
Yes to both of those things. It’s 100% on my brain again and my heart is just so warm. 🥺
And on that note, I cannot emphasize enough again how much I love the way Mo Ran’s turnaround was written.
He didn’t let go of his hatred right away when he found out that Chu Wanning saved him.
That guilt sunk in slowly, and then his regret about treating Chu Wanning so poorly had to sink in even slower still…
And I just think Meatbun handled that grief so so well.
The way Mo Ran ended up under that haitang tree after Chu Wanning’s death, where he had to reminisce about the past—where he determined that if there was another life, he couldn’t cling to Chu Wanning again because of how much it had cost the man twice. 😭
And just. That powerful guilt, seeping in until it overtook him—and yet he used it to become a better man, even as he was hurting. During those five long years without his shizun, he really was a hero, even as the pain clawed deep and hard into his heart.
And that’s why I absolutely cannot get over how Mo Ran just broke down sobbing one day over a flower that he wanted to give his shizun.
Such a simple thing that reinvoked his torrential grief, even after that grief had numbed.
And thinking about it, writing about it like this… I’m just making myself cry, at this rate. And I’m sorry I know I’m like a fucking broken record but. I can’t forget Mo Ran’s growth from mourning, from guilt, from fighting to unlearn an ages-old hatred.
It’s just…so, so good. ;o;

Randomly thinkin about Chilchuck today, and how he tries sooooo hard to self sabotage
like for example, other half foots on the island think that he's a greedy asshole who only cares about money, and he does nothing to try to disprove that
but then there's this omake at the end of book 9 that shows that people treat half foots fucking TERRIBLY and chilchuck started a union to protect them
and then in the bicorn chapter, he doesn't want Marcille to keep digging into his personal business so he tells her he CHEATED ON HIS WIFE
but he just COMPLETELY fuckin lied about that and made himself sound so much worse than he is bc he's afraid of being vulnerable with people and would rather everyone believes he's a shitty person so he can keep them at a distance
and the thing that's memed so often is that he refuses to help with fighting most of the time because it's not part of his contract
but if you take this lore into account (not gonna add those particular images to this post simply bc I've used them in so many posts already LMAO) along with this tidbit from the world guide:
then it's like. yeah he has to keep his weight low so if he gets killed or severely injured and has to be healed, that could be really dangerous for him. and even if he was healed at that point he'd end up being a burden to the party after that point, he would be too dangerously thin/sickly to be able to help.
Like, Chilchuck has so many things about him that APPEAR to be character flaws, but every single one of them has a very reasonable explanation. He just leans into the mischaracterization bc he's emotionally withholding and can handle people thinking he's an asshole more than he can handle opening up to anyone. he's such a well thought out and interesting character

i love the idea of the batfam wearing each other's merch cause like. i know they'd be petty about it. usually they'd wear their siblings merch in (kinda) equal rotations, but they'd change it up depending on sibling squabbles or sibling favours.
Tim, walking into the kitchen in a Red Hood shirt:
Dick: TIM!?
Tim: what
Dick: it's Tuesday. you always wear Nightwing merch on Tuesdays.
Tim: oh.
Tim: you stole my last granola bar, last week.
Steph, looking for something in Jason's room: JASON WHY DO YOU HAVE EVERYONE'S MERCH BUT MINE?!
Jason, peeking into the room: i have your merch. in the trash.
Steph: WHY
Jason: you hit me with a blue shell in mario kart last game night. i'm never forgiving you.
Damian, sporting a full-on Red Robin hoodie:
Tim: woah. what brought this on? you usually only exclusively wear Batman or Nightwing merch
Damian: you helped me take that splinter out of Alfred's paw yesterday. Richard on the other hand has recently messed up my painting palette.
Dick, from the other room: IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!
Damian: he'll get over it.
Cass, wearing Nightwing merch for the 5th day in a row:
Jason: goddamn. what did Dickie do to get in your good graces like this?
Cass, smiling: he made me a flower crown
Jason: ... that's it?
Cass: it was a very nice flower crown.
Dick, buying seven Signal shirts: One for everyone.
Duke, behind him: Dick, you really don't--
Dick: shhhh, sunshine. everyone will love your new merch.
(they all wore exclusively Signal merch for a week straight)
Bruce isn't allowed to change up his rotation or not wear someone's merch because he immediately gets accused of playing favourites. He'd rather keep some of his sanity, thank you.
