the one bit of american exceptionalism i will take part in is that the US and canada are smoking all the rest of you in terms of license plates. look at this fucking bear
Without filling in details from any other sources, what do you think the Nie Bros were up to during the post-Sunshot night hunt. If memory serves they were the only ones we didn’t see at the confrontation between wwx and jzx so what gives?
i sure hope you’re not counting the novel as ‘other sources’ because it tells us at least part of it(and it’s a favourite bit of mine so thank you for letting me talk about it ily);
baby is decked tf out, here to look great and have a good time. i think he stays well away from any night-hunting and just vibes. fighting monsters? uh, no thanks! that’s for other people! why would you do that when you can, like, have a snack and people-watch.
nmj is ALSO having a great time and it’s one of the funniest parts of the book because
he kills! almost as much prey as wwx! and when wwx does it it’s like, bad form and everyone gets upset but no one says a THING about nmj. (tbf i don’t think they dare. sure, wwx has his flute that raises the dead but have you SEEN nie mingjue?)
and lxc is soooo delighted by it he laughs despite jgy’s distress. so cute.
basically they both just have fun their own ways and i love it. it’s so them. nhs who doesn’t give a shit about being a cultivator, nmj who cares about little else. my very best boys 💖
