Merit Brush. I don't really have an explanation. It gives you powers or something, seems cool. Could be versatile. I mean I guess it didn't just give you powers out of nothing, but whatever. I can't remember the details.

I'm yeeting the Regent and the Rebel Chief because I do not like them. The Rebel Chief especially needs yeeting. (I do yeet him off the cliff in at least one WIP somewhere.)

Funny thing about the Deacon and Ding Dun at some point my brain mixed them together and then convinced me they were one person (despite what my eyes clearly told me) and I was extremely confused watching a few episodes. ("Isn't he dead? I'm sure they said he's dead?" Nope that was an entirely different person.)

Okay, in retrospect I realise I'm currently writing an AU that is just now dealing with the brush and that might have influenced my vote. I have merit Brush on the brain.

"The Rebel Chief especially needs yeeting. (I do yeet him off the cliff in at least one WIP somewhere.)"

*cheering* Hell yeah, exactly what he deserves. :D

The Merit Brush has a lot of potential! I feel like the drama didn't use it as well as the others, but it's definitely versatile, and you could do a lot of cool stuff with it.

I do yeet him off the cliff in at least one WIP somewhere.

Yes! So satisfying! :D

Shen Wei says at one pont that the Deacon/Attendant took over Ding Dun's old job, maybe that's where you got them mixed up? That, and Ding Dun already coming back from being supposedly dead once, without an explanation ...
