my friend is watching cql for the first time and he legit said out loud that the only people there he trusts are

- nie huaisang
- meng yao

he saw the scene where they welcome the sects etc and in his opinion the character with a good smile & the dude with the birds are the only trustworthy im--

his 1st impression of characters so far
wwx: will make a dumb mistake
lwj: has special abilities (bc they use slow motion whenever he walks in)
lxc: smartest guy
lqr: will be disappointed. look at him, he already is.
jiang cheng: so pure
jiang yanli: relatable queen

our rule is that i can share opinions if i say what i thought while watching for the first time without telling him if i was right or wrong about it

so i told him i love jin zixuan and i was rooting for him not to be harmed

my friend: he's handsome, he won't

best commentary by my friend so far:

@ lwj "jfc, who died and left HIM in charge?" (it was a reference to the good place but he nailed it more than he knows)

also said "im just gonna assume in a world of swords whoever is not carrying one is gonna die" huh

MY FRIEND SOMEHOW DOESN'T REMEMBER WWX DIED?????????????????????????? HE WAS LITERALLY CALLING XIAO ZHAN HANDSOME THROUGH THE ENTIRE CLIFF SCENE AT THE BEGINNING I THINK HE GOT DISTRACTED JFC

i said "well at least you know what happens to wei wuxian"

he goes "... i do?"

me "i mean, you know a pretty significant thing that happens to him"

my friend "what do you mean, where?"

i think he literally got too distracted by xiao zhan's beauty to keep up

i have showed cql and live tweeted reactions of a bunch of people (my mom, my sister, etc) but man this is the first time someone FORGETS WWX DIES

my friend would not survive if not for me

my friend is getting attached to all of the wrong characters the meme i used for this thread becomes more accurate by the minute
