I like books, music, and art, but mostly books. I'm also known as the queen of awkward silence.

This Is Just My Opinion But I Think Any Good Media Needs Obsession Behind It. It Needs Passion, The Kind
this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.
good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.
sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.
so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.
one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

I miss my grandfather so much all of a sudden like what even
Something about Sunday makes me feel like it's Thursday. They're probably twins. Or alternate universe versions of the same day
Do you believe Jin Guangyao killed Jin Rusong? And I don't mean "is he ultimately responsible" or "how much of the guilt should he carry," although those are interesting questions too; I mead do you think he actively with his own two hands murdered his son? Because I did not get that impression at all, but I seem to be alone in that.
I haven’t answered a textual ask in a while, but I’ll give it my best shot, and I very much appreciate you separating out those questions, because I think it’s an important part of looking at this issue. You're certainly not alone, even if this company is smaller than I wish were.
Short answer: No, I don’t think JGY killed JRS.
Longer answer: In a range of scenarios that I consider to be consistent with canon, there’s definitely an argument to be made for some of them having JGY involved in JRS’ death to some degree or other. That said, given the information we have, JGY actually killing him seems unlikely. Here’s a brief rundown:
From everything we’re told, the official story of how JRS died is extremely plausible, and makes a lot of sense given what we know about cultivation society, JGY, and the watchtower project.
The main “evidence” for JGY killing JRS is brought up in a discussion that is pretty clearly presented as one of the text’s many examples of rumour-mongering; JGY is not present to defend himself, and we see the snowball effect of how people are willing to believe anything, no matter how outlandish, which is a major theme of the narrative.
When JGY is present to defend himself, what he has to say about the matter is strangely inconclusive, especially in light of what he does expand on in the temple; JGY explains a number of things in the temple sequence, including not denying anything about his father, but he does not address JRS’ death.
He’s also vague about it in his conversation with QS, and I don’t want to rely too much on phrasing since most people on here are interacting with a translation, but, even so, nothing he says is an actual admission of killing JRS.
Yes, JRS is included on the list of people JGY has “killed” at the end, but this list cannot be taken literally, since it also includes people we know JGY did not kill, as QS killed herself and WWX killed JZX.
As to the last point, I think it’s pretty clear that this list is supposed to function as a kind of sweeping “fine, I did every bad thing, but I still would never, etc,” but at most it can be read as a list of “deaths JGY feels responsible for,” which, as you so rightly point out, is a separate issue. Any responsibility JGY may or may not bear for JRS’ death is certainly interesting to speculate about, but it can only be speculation because of the limited information we have to go on, including almost nothing from JGY himself, which is not the case with many of the other matters in question.
At the very least, one cannot use the text to prove JGY did kill JRS, but while one also cannot use the text to prove he didn't, I think the text, taken as a whole, points to JGY not killing JRS as the most probable conclusion.
