Xiang Liu and You (Yes, You)

I'm really pissed with all these changes. They're whitewashing that fox by making him look freaking angelic when it comes to Xiao Yao. That script made it look like that fox gave Xiao Yao a choice when it comes to who she really wanted to be with. 

from liddi's translation:

TSJ: Many years ago, because I wanted wholeheartedly to be with Xiao Liu, I took advantage of her kindness, and never gave her a chance to choose between me and Xiang Liu. However, in the end, I could not give her happiness. Now... I give the chance to choose back to her. This is what I owe her. 

Now some viewers are going to think XY chose that fox and not because he was the only option left for her. In the words of Yang Zi herself "Because Xiang Liu has a country and my cousin wants to be the emperor. Only Tushan Jing will choose Xiao Yao. In fact, it wasn't Xiao Yao who chose him" -_-

Plus, some of the fox squad is going to get a lot of enjoyment because of this:

XL: You flatter yourself. I have never cared for you, so why would I worry?

So upset that she was shaking, Xiao Yao violently stood up.

XY (sneering): Yes, you never cared [for me] 无心, and I have no feelings [for you] 无意. That is for the best.

Xiao Yao turned and rushed back into the house, slamming the door.
She sat down on the pallet blankly, then thought of something. Rolling up her sleeves, she touched the mark of the bow on her shoulder. In a flash of light, the bow appeared in her hand and she caressed it with reddened eyes.
Outside, Xiang Liu stared at the door for a while and lifted his hand to continue writing, only to find that the brush had broken in two at some point, black droplets staining the paper. In a daze, he put down the broken brush.

Some of them are going to take XY and XL's words literally. I can already imagine what the tiktok videos are going to be like: "XY never had feelings for him. XL never cared about her." 

In season 2, when I see Xiang Liu's death on the battlefield, I don't think I'm even going to cry anymore. I'll probably feel frustrated and roll my eyes. The writers butchered his character AND Xiao Yao's character.

That's what I wrote on the other thread.

They'll take this at face value and will continue thinking what they already think.

It's ridiculous and I hope this whole thing crashes and burns.

It's just a pity that Tan is also a part of it. But whatever, he's better than all of them combined.

Like Sasha another artist brought XL to a modern setting.

It's hard to keep up with that thread. So many detailed, essay long posts lol.

It's very hard. I'm trying to read everything but not enough time :(

 nathsketch:

 nathsketch:

Wow, this scene is going to be so powerful and full of longing and grief and self-denial. I think with the skills of TJC and Yangzi, this scene is going to sear itself into my memory. Two people cannot hurt each other that deeply and with that much precision if there wasn't so much thwarted love there.

I don't worry or care about what YaoJing CP fans think or will say about YaoLiu scenes.

Yes, there's also that. People who have absolutely no feelings for each other cannot be this level of hurtful. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.

I only care because they keep distorting the truth every single time.
