#that vibe is so much weaker with hl...they're more wrapped up in each other than anyone else

[llycaons]

I'm finally watching s2 for real. the atmosphere IS very fun and true to the book, but like...not to be a killjoy but I hate that hc let that guy gamble his daughter's life. I hate it so much and it's bullshit that the justification of 'it's mutually consensual' is the last we hear about it. that woman never agreed to this! you can't bet other people like you own them! that might be the worst thing hc ever does like genuinely I don't understand why more people don't talk about it like he's at the head of an organization that allows people to use other human beings as bartering chips...or at least lets the men use their female family members. but he's treated in the fandom (and canon) like all his behavior is justified bc he's funny and sexy and devoted like...jesus christ. I feel so wild like how have I never seen anyone talk about this

#tgcf donghua lb #the most people say abt hc is how he was willing to destroy an entire nation with xl as wu ming #which I'm also not thrilled about but he was considerably fucked up and had literally only one thing to live for #but there's no reason to run this gambling house except for power #sorry to bring a critical eye to the fun bl show but that honestly makes me sick #and tgcf DOES have good themes and messages and serious content I don't think it's a reach to seriously engage w it #ultimately wx are my guys due to morality and doing good for people/not harming anyone if possible/being selfless and compassionate #is SO central to their life philosophies (circumstances allowing) #that vibe is so much weaker with hl...they're more wrapped up in each other than anyone else #what even ARE hc's moral principles? #does he have any???
