Kind of obsessed with takes abt Jin Guangyao's manipulativeness (which I'm not even refuting! He is manipulative!) that also refuse to take into consideration the context in which his manipulation exists, which proceeds to net you awesome takes about who in 3zun was The Abuser and people showing up to the comments sections of good postcanon Xiyao reconciliation fic to passive aggressively talk about how it's sad that Lan Xichen is getting manipulated back into a toxic relationship
The real story of how Meng Yao killed Nie Mingjue (based on this tweet)
Test-drive of the gun-dryer method
Sect leader Yao: *firmly believes that WWX is the devil incarnate who is raising an army in secret, and Wen Ning is a murder machine controlled by the murder maniac that is WWX. The number of people Sect leader Yao believes that WWX has killed includes Sect Leader Yao himself.*
Sect leader Yao: *thinks that the Guanyin statue has JGY's own face and immediately concludes that this is because he's a narcisstst proclaiming that he's a god who should be worshipped*
(Immediately followed by WWX thinking that there's no use saying that it's his mother's face 'cause anything JGY has ever done will now be twisted to something evil and added to the pile of his sins.)
Sect leader Yao: *says that JGY has killed Jin Rusong immediately after the tea about JGY's shady shits is spilled*
Everyone: *gasps in JGY anti* THAT MONSTER KILLED HIS INNOCENT BABY ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE THAT IS SECT LEADER YAO! BURN THE BITCH!
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.
more like Jin GuangYaoi, am I right?
