[@dr_titania]

Funny how people back then people treat Jiaoqiu closed eyes as anime stereotype but it turns out to have deeper reason. 😢

[@dingusbigus9629]

Didn't he got blinded after the 2.5 quest tho?

[@retokazene]

Ye he got blinded after ingesting the poison and being so close to death. He wasnt blind in the earlier quest in the exalted sanctum

[@kamicokrolock]

I sorta thought he was like Su in HI3. Hoyo likes to recycle themes, plots and designs and Jiaoqiu reminded me of Su from the get go: soft spoken, healer, warrior types that don't open their eyes unless they mean business. Didn't think Hoyo was going down the "I AM the poison" route and blind the dude.

I mean, prosthetics exist for eyes (Dan Shu) and we know Foxians don't have Xianzhou Native problems with rejecting such things, so he can get eyes back at any time.

[@hongfeiwei2710]

I lost 5050…

[@KarmaBlueTrue]

This quest was a ride and I will admit Jiaoqiu losing his eyesight hit hard however I also have major respect for the writers for going down this path. They did not 'cure' Feixiao's chronic illness even though there is potential for Hooley's heart to allow her to survive with her condition, but also for doubling down by blinding Jiaoqiu. Way too often in media those that are chronically ill or disabled get 'fixed' which is an injustice to the character and the representation it is trying to show.

[@literallyjiaoqiu]

jiaoqiu getting blind wasnt a representation thing... the closest we got to representation was probably luka

[@KarmaBlueTrue]

@@literallyjiaoqiu I see your point. I probably didn't phrase it in the best way as my focus was more on the fact they did not go on the path of 'fixing' the characters during the story. You are right when it comes to representation Luka would be better and possibly even Firefly with her Entropy Loss Syndrome. I guess I just got a bit over excited seeing them go with the path of not changing them.

[@ivskwy_18]

exactly! also stories are 1000% more satisfying when they having long lasting consequences and character development at the end rather than keeping every character static and fixing everything bad that happened (cough genshin) in an extremely anticlimactic way.

[@aushshsushshsh5224]

While I agree with "sad is more realistic", I also can't grasp how someone being disabled is better than healthy

If you pick the red dialogue options, Everyone Jiaoqiu asked for help with, will all get killed by Hoolay. Right after that Hoolay pierces Jiaoqiu's shoulder. He then drank tumbledust which was the most lethal poison so Hoolay will also get poisoned when he drinks his blood. You can also get a report on his injuries somewhere on Luofu where it goes into detail on how much injuries he has sustained.

[@KarmaBlueTrue]

Well, back in the March sword event Jiaoqiu mentions that Tumbleweed effects the senses. If it effects the senses it effects the mind. The problem is less the eyes and more so the mind no longer receiving the stimulus from the eyes. I don't think implants could fix that. I do think Ruan Mei could potentially fix his eyesight however I doubt the writers will go that route especially since the characters wouldn't want to risk becoming one of her test subjects.

[@LjCast-b6q]

He’s a member of the long life species, meaning he can’t get implants, along with the fact that it’s not his eyes that are the problem, but rather his brain
