Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
Every once a while Wen Qings death and just the general nightless city ordeal haunts me, because imagine being Wen Qing and your brothers accidentally kill the heir of the clan that's been itching for an excuse to stage an official attack on your family, You know time is limited, But the Jins send an ultimatum " give your life up for your family and we'll leave you alone", you accept of course (you always knew you were never going to make it that far anyway, atleast your family would get an extended chance) so you burn, burn as people cheer around you including a man who owes you and your family a debt greater than any other (Jc) But even than you die at peace knowing your family would have a chance, knowing the man you now consider a brother would have a chance.
But that doesn't happen either way, Your whole family dies except one, the man you consider a brother gets supposedly thorn to shreds and the only living family member whom is a child is in the care of a bedridden man (who's bedridden for defending you family in the first place)
I feel like What happened with the Wen remnants really gets idk ignored by the fandom a bit, maybe not ignored but like it's definitely softened up, I personally don't believe that Wen Qing genuinely believed the Jins would keep their promise of peace Wen Qing is to smart to fall for their lies, though I feel she could've deceived herself in a moment of total desperation.
