"Most frightening: impersonating the Envoy, because that subtle wrongness is unsettling, and also "other", for long white robe in the palace, being utterly deranged trying to talk ZYL into joining him after he kills SW."

Yessss, both of these! I nearly voted for "other" just because of your comment but idk if it strikes me as frightening per se, but it definitely strikes me as something, it is so wonderfully deranged indeed.

"It's just such a fabulous outfit, and he's being so fabulous with it. And I love the ponytail, so much. :D"

HELL YEAH, and it's winning in the poll too. :D ♡

"I don't think Ye Zun's cloak is in the wash - he has that very neat stain-removing power"

Lolol, I didn't even think of that. :D Does it mean he never has to wash any clothes? It's so practical and time-saving. xD

To me it comes across as frightening because it's so deranged and divorced from reality - we knew that about him already, and yet in this moment it's worse, with ZYL sitting there furious and grieving while YZ thinks he can talk him around???

Right? That would be a fantastic power to have.

It's definitely not NOT-frightening, yeah. D: That's a really good point that you'd think he can't possibly go any further, and yet he still can and does!
