@TheSYnightmare Awww, some cuties

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

Next, imma learn how to read Chinese handwriting by studying mxtx’s notes, cause I’m tired of only feeling frustration at all these lovingly written author letters 😭

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

@TheSYnightmare This is my reminder to periodically check the pets chat, cause I missed all of this 😭 what’re their names?

@reneetulle This is wild when most people start off her biggest novel thinking it’s an svsss rip-off, and a lot of people find her protags so unlikable they can’t even make it to the first real plot-twist where the story actually opens up

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

@reneetulle Pei Ming/Yushi Huang but no Lingwen/Bai Jin? The betrayal

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

@TheSYnightmare TWO????

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

Something so beautiful about being able to open a Chinese novel and just…read. Like wow, I can do that now! Amazing!

i agree that jyl and don’t share much at all beyond perhaps a placidity of manner, and i really like how oomf discusses them in terms of the power each of them held and attempted to wield

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

@camilikha @nyyaanan Might not get any more clarity there; pinsin isn’t always caught up with jjwxc and who knows what manuscript they got

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

@camilikha I’m not trying to say definitively that jjwxc had nothing to do with this. I *am* tryna say that we should consider mxtx making these changes bc she wants to before we decide that every edit we personally find conservative to be “censorship.” It feels condescending to her

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

@camilikha For me, this would only be relevant if tgcf was ever locked by jjwxc, and it hasn’t been. Jjwxc is actually incredibly fast in dinging content it doesn’t like; if tgcf fit that, it would’ve been hit way before now, but as you pointed out, even these new changes are months old

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

@camilikha @nyyaanan Jjwxc right now has much more explicit works uncensored on their site. I just think that we should consider maybe these are changes mxtx wanted to make herself rather than creating a boogeyman to imply she has no autonomy in what she writes or edits

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

@camilikha @nyyaanan The explicit parts that she’s edited out of her novels were actual censored content bc jjwxc locked those chapters and unlocked them after they were removed. Physical media is also much stricter on content than the internet, and I just showed what’s in the physical

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

@camilikha @nyyaanan I highly doubt the scene was a censorship change on jjwxc either, because they would have locked the chapter if so. All the og text is in the physical simplified CN except for when xl’s chest tingles after being touched, which is edited differently from the jjwxc version too

3) KIDNAPS XIE LIAN AND PUPPETEERS HIS BODY in an attempt to destroy his relationship with Hua Cheng bc he respects neither Xie Lian’s free choices nor autonomy. He thinks Xie Lian’s an idiot that he has to defend due to his unresolved guilt.

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

Fantastic thread. May I add that he 1) almost destroys Puqi Temple upon first visit bc he didn’t listen to Xie Lian, 2) tried to destroy Xie Lian’s divine statues in the cave of 10,000 gods because he couldn’t believe someone would genuinely worship the current Xie Lian, and—

1. hearing that xie lian got into trouble, mu qing opens his mouth before xie lian could reply, just to snort and to embarrass him publically

“A female character being strong doesn’t make her well written” and a male character being an evil asshole doesn’t make him “complex” but y’all don’t wanna talk about that do you?

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

@TheSYnightmare Wait I’m confused, wtf does sandu have to do with wwx? Does jc use that sword even once in the present timeline??? And sandu isn’t sealed, so why tf wouldn’t jc be able to use it even if this scenario was hypothetically true?

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

(It’s been a while though, maybe someone should wake this up again 🤔)

[Stasi @danmeimetafan]

Hop on tumblr, you’ll see it lmao

Xiche*g is literally just the MLM version of Jiang Fengmian x Madam Yu to me. I can’t believe I’ve never seen anyone mention this before. This isn't even slander it’s just how I see them.
