re: my reblog about jgy’s alignment

the main reason i push my true neutral jgy agenda at every opportunity is because i do believe that, when considered holistically, all of jgy’s thoughts and deeds—the glorious, the good, the bad, and the unspeakably ugly—do balance each other out in a way that doesn’t happen for many other characters in the cast. having an antagonist who sits firmly in the middle of a dnd style character alignment chart is very compelling to me.

however!!

i really do need to emphasize that this doesn’t mean i believe jgy’s total impact on the canon world is also neutral, because i don’t. through both killing wrh and ending the sunshot campaign, and by building over twelve hundred watchtowers that finally made protection from cultivators affordable and accessible to the common people, jgy left the world stronger and more stable than it had been in decades.
