so yeah, upon further consideration, my Type of favorite character is 100% “person with a horribly misplaced sense of duty that ruins their life and ultimately kills them”
just to clarify my position for the court. i will not be taking questions at this time, thank you!

DA-GE PLZZZZZZZ
more like Jin GuangYaoi, am I right?
Jin Guangyao: Of course I have a lot of pent-up rage, you fool! I've been the same height since I was twelve!
Literally, the only people that find complaining about that stage performance and actor's are untamed ride or die fans
Its like I'm falling in love with Wei Wuxian's character again... I don't know anything about his stage actor but he seem slaying it. I like how playful and confident he is in the photoshoot. He reminds me of Audio Drama Wei Wuxian. People who hate on him are probably The Untamed only fans and never MDZS fans.
just because it has come up in conversations today, here's what novel canon meng yao says to nie mingjue when nie mingjue catches him killing the jin commander on the langya front:
Nie MingJue saw all of the scene. Without saying a word, he unsheathed his saber by an inch. A sharp ring pierced through the air. Hearing the familiar sound of unsheathing, Meng Yao immediately trembled. He spun around, his soul almost evaporating, “… Sect Leader Nie?”
Nie MingJue pulled all of his saber out of its sheath. The body of the sword glared brightly, yet the blade itself vaguely glinted in the red shade of blood. Wei WuXian could feel the billowing anger from him, along with emotions of disappointment and hatred. Meng Yao knew Nie MingJue’s character more than anyone else. He dropped the sword with a clang, “Sect Leader Nie, Sect Leader Nie! Please wait, please wait! I can explain!”
Nie MingJue shouted, “What do you want to explain?!”
Meng Yao threw himself over, half rolling and half crawling, “I had no other choice, I had no other choice!”
(EXR translation, pgs 476-477)
he doesn't deny what he did or try to say someone else did the killing like he does in cql. he just wants a chance to explain why he did it.
Ukrainians holding their pride march in a subway because of russian bombs are immeasurably more powerful and real than any western tankie with a hammer-and-sickle or a Lenin profile on a trans flag.
