Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
Can I just add that it sent me flying when we finally discovered how Lu Guang actually escaped from the hospital. I swear I had to stop the episode so I could laugh
Everyone here was like "How did he survive a 2 story fall?????" and the show simply said "lol he didn't tf you saying"
Welp. Link Click s02ep8 has left me confused.
Spoilers under the cut.
The other night it was like 1am and I sent to my friend (who doesn't watch link click) something along the lines of:
"People talk a lot about what happens if you go back in time and change something that would make it impossible for you to go back in time, like if you stopped your parents from conceiving you; but they never talk about the opposite. What if you're gonna die in the next five minutes but then you from the future appears and say "uhhh don't go there you're gonna die lmao" then you don't. But like. How was future you able to save you if you're supposedly dead in their timeline." and I though I was just being silly and Ovethinking™.
BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT FOR ME
The way this show's timeline works is like: there's the og, then cxs enters it and maybe alters stuff, and then in the future it reflects. I know time loops have happened before, like with Liu Min and the Big Plan© from s01 but there it made sense. The one that would die/be incapacitated was not cxs, so he could go back at any point and create the time loop like that. BUT WHEN IT'S HIM HIMSELF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
I know time travel is a topic in which you can have whatever since nothing is real so like do what you want yk. But even so, you gotta keep things consistent in order to not make it confusing/seem like bad writing. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea and I'm actually very intrigued by it, but I know we won't get an explanation as to how the time loop started (just like with the other one) so I just thought I'd dump my thoughts here.
And now that i think about it didn't zelda ocarina of time kinda do the same thing with the song of storm-
This show's gonna make me go insane fr.
(I won't even get into the topic of how that wasn't Lu Guang and that was my biggest fear bc even though they went with that and I wanna chew my chair's legs off I... kinda think it had emotional impact still? I mean he wasn't being the imprudent king like we thought but he let the imprudent king get inside his body willingly so like... I guess it works? idk man I'm just a shirt)
