#i like that jinzha and muzha are so little lady yin dying really hits different when they're little

i kind of like that a lot of the major contributing characters in the legend of nezha are kiddos , i think it really adds to the story

since a good chunk of said story focuses on how these children function independently of adults while still under the jurisdiction of the adults in their lives. it is supposed to be, in one part, Investiture of the Gods but from Nezha's perspective, in my opinion

They get distracted, they act selfishly and petty, they don't understand some of the things the adults tell them and come to their own conclusions, they're still dependent on others, they have a lot of Big Feelings and don't know what to do with them, adults don't listen to them and tell them what to do, and it's this childish nature they display that also charts their growth and simultaneously reminds us that they're just kids in a war that's much bigger than them.

#ji fa's mostly here on a technicality but he doesn't feel completely removed from the younger generation #also he didn't deserve to get orphaned #also it occurred to me while writing that teddy is also an orphan #i like that jinzha and muzha are so little lady yin dying really hits different when they're little #also it's easier to believe that they'd all hang out #also it's really cute how the kiddos get excited when they see their friends #ji fa #king wu #nezha #li nezha #leizhenzi #longnv #longnü #dragon girl #teddy #muzha #li muzha #jinzha #li jinzha #the legend of nezha
