30 Days of Guardian
7 Sep 2019 18:36(Announcements banner: Space Race is an upcoming space-related flash exchange I'm seeking feedback for; the rewatchalong is now at episode 26.)
So, today was originally supposed to be "favorite character", but then
jo_lasalle answered it for me, down to the details, so I had to come up with a new question. So, behold:
6. Which character would you resurrect?
I shall limit myself to people who died before the finale, so: Zhu Jiu! I admit I wasn't really a fan the first time round, but on the rewatch, I've found myself appreciating him more and more. His brand of dramatic monologueing was more fun and fit the lower-stakes tone of the earlier episodes, and he was a much better villain than Wang Xiangyang. I'd also like to see how he dealt with the aftermath of getting shot with the anti-Dixing gun, and what that would mean to him going forward. (A gradual disappearance of his Dixing powers? Coughing up blood?) Ye Zun also seemed to like him a lot, so I think Zhu Jiu remaining alive would make Ye Zun just a little less likely to want to destroy everything.

So if he never stopped being an Envoy fanboy, maybe he'd be doing an Envoy cosplay as well. So Shen Wei would be followed everywhere by a grumpy Envoy cosplayer and an excessively earnest and chipper Envoy cosplayer. For extra hilarity.
