I feel like the TGCF fandom talks about how Xie Lian roasted Yin Yu hard but I think we forget about how the only reason hes so plain and forgettable is because he lost the spark in his eye.

MAJOR SPOILER WARNING BEYOND THIS

Yin Yu is only so forgettable because of the actions that occurred during the brocade immortal incident - he lost that spark in his eyes and self respect that made him so memorable and impressive.

I think a lot of people just forget this if that makes sense. And he wasn't plain forever- in book 7 when he sacrificed himself Xie Lian states

Which is implying that he sees him as impressive at this moment as he called the youthful Yin Yu impressive and bright. The only reason YY is so plain to him is because he's not as confident as he used to be - he's not impressive anymore because he doesn't have the confidence nor happiness he once had as a young man.

ALSO - a lot of people think XL is calling YY ugly but he just called him plain. Some people misinterpret or are just doing it for the memes(im not saying they arent funny i usually laugh) but this is a reminder that canonically he IS attractive.

These are two quotes I will elaborate on using.

The yellow - he's canonically attractive, a 7/10 to Xie Lian who grew up in literally the most gorgeous place ever.

The teal - he just doesn't have personality to his face like he USED TO. He gets that personality back before he dies.

Idk, im probably just reading too much into it - i just wanted to post something about Yin Yu. So whenever someone thinks pookie is ugly canonically he just doesn't have personality to his face - he's attractive and the fans aren't pretending he is lol. Im probably reading too much into this, i just wanted to talk about him.

IM NOT TRYING TO START ARGUMENTS OR ANYTHING GUYS I JUST SEE A LOT OF POSTS LIKE "Yin Yu fans pretending he isn't canonically ugly" AND IM LIKE???

I just love him lots. And i read on my phone so i dont have page number but these quotes are from books 5 and 7.

thinking about "when people call you a god, you are a god. if they call you crap, you are crap. you are whatever they say you are. it had always been thus." (book 1 pg 19)/"who cared whether you were a god or q ghost? you were whatever people believed you to be. appearances could be a million miles off the mark from the real thing, and people would still see what they wanted to see." (book 2 pg 47) and how this theme of not being able to change what people think of you because it's not your job to is so persistent across tgcf.

thinking about how this concept has deeply effected xie lian to the point where it's a reflex for him to reject what heaven says about hua cheng, why WOULD he believe or trust anyone's word over his own impressions and feelings when fundamentally people have proven that they will only ever believe and say what they want and what they believe and say most of the time is generally from a place of bad faith.
