Ha, true. (I still think it's not a smart thing to say to the authorities. *g* But yeah, understandable. I just have a grudge.)
Oh yeah, I mean, he and his girlfriend do also plan the murder in public so definitely not the smartest criminal regardless!
Maybe he should start a Creepy Dragon City True Crime podcast? Except that's probably prohibited by his employment contract with the SID...
Alas yeah I doubt ZYL would approve, even if it is well precedented in the storied tradition of detective novel framing devices (ala Sherlock Holmes, tho you know Lin Jing would make himself out as the Sherlock rather than the Watson 😆)
(I guess I'm in the "the Cat Tribe is rare; I want to rehabilitate them where possible" camp; I wrote my way into liking her. But I totally understand why generic-and-specific-you might not! :-)
Yeah thats the thing like, I do want to like her! I love the idea of having more cat Yashou, and Da Qing having friends, and doing more stuff with Da Qing's time between Ye Olde Haixing and the present but like...as its actually written in canon I find her very uncompelling. (It's not just "she's a bad person" to be clear, I love a lot of the guardian villians for their villianyness I just don't get a lot of...depth? from it. Things to latch onto fannishly)
I do love your idea of a 3rd cat Yashou showing up! Maybe it'd snap her out of her "why are you choosing the humans, when I'm the only one who understands you??" loop and force her to actually evaluate her own actions a bit and have some character growth. Which could make for a pretty interesting fic!
