our words live on (or not)

[burningsoprettily]

watching solo leveling anime reminded me of the absolute crushing disappointment i felt on realising igris the bloodred was a he and not a she

[burningsoprettily]

So I watched the Soul Land movie, Sword Dao - Chen Xin. And I LOVED pretty much everything about that movie!!!

I got major Who Made Me A Princess vibes from Chen Xin and lil Rongrong for most of the movie

Lil Rongrong being an absolute #ICON. We have no option but to stan 💯👌✨

Seeing all the ol' favorites on the screen again was #perfection 😘

And the glimpses of past and future moments in the movie timeline, that were more of throwbacks to the Soul Land 1 series was MUAAHHHHH!! *happy screeching*

TANG HAO!!!!!! 😍👌😘

XIAO WU!!!!! 😍💕

DU GU BO!!!!!!! 😍🥺🥰

TANG SAN!!!!!! 😍✨

It was interesting to see clans opposing the Martial Soul Hall in the movie while in the series they were actually standing with them. Of course we know it's because of Bibi Dong, but it was surprising to see nonetheless.

Qian Daoliu and the Alligator dude getting their asses whooped by Chen Xin reduced all my stress and cleared my skin. It makes the Alligator dude's ass whooping by Tang Hao all the more hilarious and satisfying 🤣🤣🤣

THE ENDING!!! GUYS, THE ENDING!!!! I AM SO GRATEFUL!!! I CRIED!!!! MY THREE FAVORITE GRANDPAS ARE BACK AND I'M JUST 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 ignore me as I daydream about Tang San's reunion with Du Gu Bo 🥺🥺

Correction: Lala Hsu's song at the end was just *chef's kiss*

Only gripe is we didn't get Angela Zhang's song in the movie.

All in all, a whooping 12/10 from me, as a diehard fan of the Soul Land 1 series. This was such a comforting watch and ticked so many boxes for me. 🥹

[burningsoprettily]

that overwhelming urge to loudly boo or point and laugh whenever shen yurong appears on screen 😌

[burningsoprettily]

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁

[burningsoprettily]

Not me watching the final match between Shrek and Martial Soul Hall's golden generation with bated breath 😭😭

More than that final match, the award ceremony was even more heart-stopping!! 💀💀💀

WE HAVE A LOVE CONFESSION EVERYONE!!! RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE TOO!! IN FRONT OF THE VERY FOLKS WHO WANT TO KILL THEM!!! 🤣🤣

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

[burningsoprettily]

A HUG!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

TANG SAN'S FACE 🥺🥺🥺

Tang Hao - you're forgiven 😤

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

[burningsoprettily]

Even the Slaughter King agrees Tang Hao is the most terrifying one out of the two (the other being Bibi Dong) 😏😏

Hu Liena why are you falling for a pretty face?? 😩 I expected better of you😔

Down, girl 😂

I like Bibi Dong as an antagonist. She is unapologetically ruthless and doesn't care about removing anyone against her. Then, there's the other side of her which cares very, very selectively about a very limited number of people. Ofc I hate her when she's gunning for my favs, but she's very cool 👍💯

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua reunion!! LMAO don't be too shocked Tang San! It's your aunt, not some other love interest of your dad 🤣🤣

Tang San finally meeting his dad's requirements and getting to know his parents' past 🥺🥺

Also, let's be real, younger Tang Hao was an absolute snack. And the way he handled the Martial Soul Hall dudes while being out of his mind with Ah Yin's loss - what strength! How badass! What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

[burningsoprettily]

Da Ming: Xiao Wu jie, tell us about your experiences in the human world.

Xiao Wu: *gives soliloquy about Tang San*

Da Ming: 👀

Er Ming: 👀

Hao Tian arc!!! Let's gooooo!!!

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: CALL ME UNCLE😡😡😡😡😡

Tang San: Uncle 🥺🥰

I like how they mentioned that Hao Tian tribe, just because they were in hiding, didn't stay stagnant. They have multiple FHDs now and are probably capable of being a major problem for Martial Soul Hall. 🔥🔥

Hao Tian elders be like: hehe you just have to do 3 tasks 🙂 oh and bring back the moon too 😊

SHREK REUNION!!!!!! 🥁🥁

I love how the first thing they do on seeing Tang San is to prank him LMAOOO #friendship_goals

Martial Soul Hall attacking all the tribes at the same time is so underhanded, but tactically that's brilliant. 👌

Good thing Chen Xin survived or I would have rioted 😑

Meme-worthy shot 😂

Look at these two flirting while running for their lives 😏

When I watched the events unfold, the first time round: so cool! so exciting!!🤩🤩

Me, on my nth rewatch, knowing what's going to happen soon: this is so stressful that I'm getting indigestion 😭😭😭

THAT BLOODY SPIDER!!! 😡😡😡😡 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT STUPID EIGHT-LEGGED WASTE OF SPACE, THEY COULD HAVE... 😭😭😭😭

That fight against Wu Hun Tian, an almost exact replica of Tang Hao's fight, the desperation, the fear, the helplessness, the unmatched fury - hells, that's so damn raw 😓

The parallels 😭

Excuse me as I sob for a million years over the ep 134💔

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San on his way to become Iron Man😂

Du Gu Bo and Tang San meet again!!! 😍

I always thought Xue Qing He was creepy. Good to finally see the proof. This is why you should always trust your instincts, kids 😌

Xue Beng's layers are finally shown, else we would have continued thinking he's a brat. Good on him for trying to survive his crazy ass brother👏

Yay!!! Oscar's back!!! Also, that's not even a scar and he's all, OH NO I'M UGLY AS HELL AND RONG RONG WON'T ACCEPT ME BOOHOO. Shut tf up, dude. It's barely noticeable. 🙄🙄🙄

Tang Clan creation, let's gooooo!!!! 😍😍

The two friends tag-teaming their third friend into joining Tang Clan *chef's kiss*

Tang San using Xiao Wu's skill and Xiao Wu's skill automatically activating when Tang San's in a tight spot ❤️❤️😭😭😭

Never tell a rabbit not to eat a plant 😂😂

Yang Wu Di: *stabs Tang San during battle*

Ma Hong Jun, Tang San: I'm sorry, but you're so dead

Xiao Wu's soul: You hurt my ge? *goes berserk*

Tang San and Xiao Wu step aside. Yang Wu Di's romance with the Fragrant Silk Woven flower has taken the top spot for epic romance.

Love the steampunk vibe for Gengxin town!! All the parachutes and zeppelins!!

I said it before and I'll say it again, our boy Tang San really is out here collecting all the (extraordinarily op!) grandpas lol

QIAN RENXUE!!! When (s)he said she'll give Tang San a fair fight because of the respect she has for him (I'm paraphrasing, don't come at me) 💯👏👌 yes give him more chances to destroy the entirety of Martial Soul Hall 😂

Xiao Wu is Tang San's trump card 😏 And seeing Xiao Wu go absolute Terror™ on anyone who hurt Tang San makes me all warm and fuzzy inside 😘😘

Operation: Break the Emperor out of his own Imperial Palace is a go! I adoreee this entire sequence of events!!!

Oohh hello there, long time no see! ❤️❤️🤩🤩 (yes, i have my favorites shuddup)

[burningsoprettily]

Usually people say ily, but their language is

Du Gu Bo: I'm part of Tang Clan too. Just take care of my food and living expenses and call me whenever there's a fight.

Tang San: I'll take care of your retirement without a problem

Look how happy he is. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the most feared Fenghao Douluo in the continent.

The Crown Prince of Xing Lou literally drove his own carriage lmaoo

ENGAGEMENT TIME!!!! 💍❤️

Shrek Seven Devils vs Chen Xin, fight! ⚔️

Kick their asses, Chen Xin!! 😍😘❤️🤩

*ahem* I mean, cheers for Shrek? 👀👏

I'm liking Xue Beng more and more. He apologised for his past misdeeds and has become our boi's first disciple! Yay!!

Dai Mu Bai, aka Human Pillow for his team

To Haishen Island we goooo!

When a fish gives a better boss fight than you *looking at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue*

Tang San with loose hair is making me go feral

Lmao poor Xue Beng. Tang San got a new disciple and he already taught him more than he ever did his first disciple 😂

The Purple Pearl Pirates' captain is badass just for telling Tang San that she won't give Xiao Wu back to him 😂

Logs of the Seven Devils and Bai Chen Xiang, during their time in Haishen Island:

Ma Hong Jun: We got bullied by turtles and fishes

Chen Xiang: I defeated a tiny jellyfish

Oscar: We climbed some steps

Rong Rong: We became powered up

Mu Bai: We saw a god

Zhu Qing: We met Bo Saixi

Xiao Wu: I bit ge as punishment

Tang San: I became an egg

Everyone, when Tang San hatched from the egg: 🤔

Everyone, when they saw him without his luscious locks:

Xiao Wu is such a Boss™ for completing the first test by kicking Tang San up the last few steps! 😂😂💯💯

Lucius Malfoy, that you?

Somehow, I find Bibi Dong to be more intriguing than Qian Renxue. I don't particularly care for Qian Renxue's angel trials. But Bibi Dong's past was heartbreaking. That absolute bastard Qian Xunji! She was his disciple!!! How dare he assault her!! Good on you for devouring his body and soul, Bibi Dong! #queen

[burningsoprettily]

Losing to a shark on dry land is shameful😏

Seeing how sweet Bibi Dong was when she was younger during the Yelin city flashback 🥺

I like Hu Liena and sort-of good with her brother, Xie Yue. But that lava boy though... Ugh, he's yucky and a creep😑

Look, I get that Bibi Dong is evil and everything BUT she started on this path because of the Grade A asshole, Qian Xunji. And despite everything, look how far she's come. She's OP!! And it's fully because of her (at worst evil, and at best morally grey) efforts!! I dunno, I just really like her as a character and how complex and multi-faceted she is.

Ma Hong Jun had a better appearance before his 'slimming'. I don't like this new design 😑

Throughout the Haishen Island arc:

The Shrek Team: We need to go back to the continent as soon as possible

The people in the continent: I wish they come back soon 🙁

Haima Douluo is a good guy, he didn't even get mad at Oscar and Tang San tricking him into depleting his power and taking advantage #good_bro

What Sea Fantasy Douluo thought: I'll bring up their deepest fears and regrets and it'll be enough 😁👍

What he got:

Everytime, ALWAYS, I'm surprised at the sheer audacity of this guy to say to Tang San's FACE that he was too weak to protect Xiao Wu, which is true BUT OMFG DUDE DID YOU NOT SEE HIM RIP PEOPLE APART JUST A FEW MINS BEFORE???? LITERALLY??? DO YOU WANT TO DIE???? CAN YOU NOT SEE HIS SANITY DROWNING IN THE OCEAN BEHIND???

Let's count it out

1. Made Tang San and Xiao Wu relive their worst, and I mean, THE WORST, day of their lives

2. Made Tang San lose his damn mind. Sanity goes byeeeee

3. Taunt the insane Tang San that he was useless in the past and too weak.

4. TARGET XIAO WU

Tang San, after Xiao Wu pushed his sense back into his head: Ah, Senior was provoking me intentionally 😮

Sea Fantasy Douluo: you're powerful but what an emotional, bad-tempered brat 😑

pfft

Me, looking at Bo Sai Xi, very, very respectfully: you can step on me anytime, ma'am😳

[burningsoprettily]

That entrance though 🤩 so dramatic! So cool!

QIN MING 😭😭😭😭 DAMN YOU GHOST BASTARD😡😡

Hu Liena: Let's clear things between us once and for all, Tang San

Tang San: *saves her life, again*

Hu Liena: shit

Tang Chen!! Hi handsome! Go say hi to your girlfriend, dude!!

Qin Ming, you've been avenged 😔

I called it, Yue Guan x Gui Mei! But oop, the latter is dead (well deserved 😤). Poor Yue Guan, just wait, your turn will come soon enough 😂

Da Ming 😞 Er Ming 😞

Xiao Wu is back!! Revival is a success!!

Xiao Wu fooling enemies into thinking she's a weak girl will never not be funny to me lmaooo

Ah Yin is back!! Revival is a success TWICE!! Power couple Tang Hao x Ah Yin is back together!!

I adore when siblings go through the enemies-to-friends arc!!

Ugh these Hao Tian elders, wow, how annoying. As if they are all sparkling clean, pfft. Tell them Tang San! And that Seventh Elder, you would think he learnt from past experience, but alas no🤣

[burningsoprettily]

Yeah, baby boi, flex your granddad's token! 💯👌

Tang Hao: *rips off his own limbs to guve the soul bones back to the tribe*

Tang Xiao: These soul bones belong to you

Tang Hao: am i a joke to you

The first time I watched this part, I thought Senior Luo Gao possessed the pretty hidden weapon lol. He achieved his life's goal, so respect!

Hiiiiiii~~~~😍😘

I get that the fight between Chen Xin and Tang San is set there to showcase how much our boy has grown strong, and it looks hella cool, but. BUT. You guys are in the middle of a war. Tactically, that's such a stupid ass decision. You both just wasted your soul power AND focused the spotlight right on your location. Good job.

Leaving aside the tactical holes, we've got so many reunions!!! Yay!!

[burningsoprettily]

Let's all appreciate Xiang Xiang for turning Shrek Seven Devils into Shrek Eight Devils

Also, guys, GUYS, I saw a clip in the outro and I looked it up and found an absolute treasure!!!!!! GUYSSSSS IT'S JACKIE CHAN AS TANG HAOOOOOO WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW

[burningsoprettily]

Goodbyeeeee, dear Chrysanthemum!! (ngl, I'm a bit sad that he's gone but ehhh he's reuniting with his lover, so yay, I guess?)

Oooh I loved this shot! It shows how much the wimpy prince has grown and his transformation into a steadfast emperor.

I will remain angry that they made this dude (who gave me major Xiao Xingchen vibes) and his really cool tribe evil 😞

Cool pose = time for an asskicking 👌

vs

Mmm the bg during the battle though... *chef's kiss* so good I got goosebumps

Chen Xin single-handedly turning the tides *double chef's kiss*

Let's be real, this entire battle is just Yu Xiao Gang and Bibi Dong trying to outmanuever and out-strategise each other😏

The Elemental Schools doing a badass entry 🤩

Ahh the entire battle for the Jialing Pass is awe~~some~~~

When Tang San was sneaking into JialingPass fo retrieve his Trident, I got major LoTR vibes (where Frodo and Sam were sneaking into Mordor and evading the eye of Sauron) hehe

It's always hilarious how the people from Martial Soul Empire are like, if only Tang San had surrendered, these many people wouldn't have died. Lmao do you have clay for brains??? And then, every time Tang San is being op, they are like howwww?? Fellas, all these op skills were cultivated BECAUSE you kept targeting him and his loved ones!! Sheeshhh!

Blue Lightning Dragon Clan's backkk! Or, more like Yu Tian Xin and Yu Tian Heng are backkk!

Ngl the peeks into Bibi Dong's past after Qian what's-his-name sexually assaulted her are heartbreaking. Of course, her trauma played a part in who she has become but she's so fucking strong for overcoming all that and becoming a super-badass. It sucks that she's on the other side of our faves, but gods, what an icon. I stan. Her aversion to her daughter (who was a result of the SA) is completely understandable. And, ah my heart, when she wished Nana was her daughter 😭😭😭

Bro just went full on Poseidon mode lmaoo

Whenever Bibi Dong and Tang San get into one of their death matches, don't ask me who I'm rooting for, because I don't know either 😭

Omg omg OMG OMG

Tang San, utterly drained of power, battered and unable to do anything but just wait for his death: Looks like this really is the end

Tang Clan's elders (Tang San's grandpas), trying to reach him but being batted away by the Golden Alligator Doulou: Chief!!

Chen Xin, Gu Ron, Shrek Seven Devils: *unable to break free from their opponents to help Tang San*

Literally everyone: *convinced that they're going to lose Tang San*

Tang Hao: WHO DARES TO HURT MY SON?

OMG THE CHILLS THE ABSOLUTE EPICNESS OF HIS ENTRY AAAAAHHHHHHHH

TANG HAO TANG HAO TANG HAO

Lol hammer got your tail? 🤣

HAOTIAN HAOTIAN HAOTIAN

[burningsoprettily]

The Tang brothers reminding the world why they were feared across the entire continent:

Tang Hao: *turns the Golden Alligator into Flattened Alligator*

Tang Xiao: *plays volleyball with not one, not two, but THREE Fenghao Douluos and scores*

Tang Hao and Xiao Gang: *coming up with something so that Tang San won't have to stay*

Tang Xiao, a dumb-dumb: When did he say that? 🤔

Tang Hao and Xiao Gang: 🙄🤦

LMAO he really is a disaster 🤣🤣

Everytime Qin Ming is mentioned, me: 🥹🥹

The more I see the Angel Trials, the more I am convinced that the Angel Tribe is the most deluded and delusional tribe of all. Qian Renxue, throughout the trial, does an ungodly amount of mental gymnastics and her opinion changes every other second. Like, stick to one thing, dude. Also, wow, you want to kill your mother for killing your father? Your father had it coming!!! He wasn't exactly a shining specimen of all that's good in the world, dumbass. He was a fucktard rapist who deserved to be ripped into shreds. Honestly, I'd rather see Bibi Dong's trials 😒

All for one! One for all!

Aww teeny tiny Tang San!! Cute!!

I am now positive that Human Faced Spiders have their spider-sense to alert them only for definitely-can-and-will-eviscerate-you threat levels.

Question: What keeps breaking everytime a spider even sneezes?

Answer: Tang San's eight spider bone soul bone.

Wow the fight between Qian Renxue and Tang San was brutal 💀

Haishen and Asura: *playing tug of war*

Tang San, the one being tugged: 👁️👄👁️

My ship died before it could even set sail😭

Not me sobbing like a baby during the orchestral climax of the commencement of the Ninth Test 😭😭 Bo Saixi!!!

Tang San, angry that Bo Saixi had to sacrifice herself, on seeing Haishen: hmph 😤

Haishen: 🙁

The Final Test

First Level: Baby Da Ming is too cute!!!

Second Level: All my rage at Tang Hao is back 😑

Third Level: Fishie got the big smack 🤣 Haishen literally smashed him into a puddle lmaoo

Fourth Level: Tang San legit said the test version of Bibi Dong wasn't unhinged enough HAHAHA

Fifth Level: this is like that scene from Jodhaa Akbar hehe

Sixth Level: Tang San, a hard mode fanatic, being tempted by Asura with easy mode. Lol, not a chance

Seventh Level: nbd just the eight spider bone getting crunched like potato chips AGAIN

ALL HAIL POSEIDON TANG SAN, THE GOD OF THE OCEAN

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San and Qian Renxue saving the civilian who was in danger because of them lmao

Tang San: I need to catch up with Du Gu Bo

Du Gu Bo: *dies*

Me: AAAAHHHHHH 😭😭

Bibi Dong's glow-up was *ahem* godly 😉

How fucking dare-- Nooo, Chen Xin!!! Gu Rong!!!! AAAAHHHH😭😭😭😭😭

Hm the effect of Tang San's death was a bit underwhelming. Dunno, it moved so fast that, it didn't even properly show how people were suffering from losing Tang San... Also, where was Ah Yin? 👀

Inheritance of Haishen: *takes years*

Inheritance of Asura: *takes minutes*

Asura really be like: lol here you go byee

I am so glad that Qian Renxue finally got to know the truth behind her 'saintly' father and why her mom literally ate that guy. It's understandable that she's shaken by it - she was lied to and had the truth hidden from her by everyone around her. Of course, it won't be enough to stop hating her mother who ignored and pushed her away all these years. Good on the Alligator dude to finally open up about the entire thing.

Tang San and Xiao Wu: *having a romantic moment*

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, trying to kill Tang San: Are we a joke to you?

The war's finally over 🏁

The Shrek Devils getting married 😩♥️

Hello, excuse me, you can't add a shot like this and not expect me to bawl

Asura: I'm planning to travel the universe. Take up my position.

Haishen: I had the same plan.

Me: Ooohhh 😏😏 I ship them😂

The last episodes had so many things that my head is still spinning. It would have been good if they had extended it for 30+ more episodes just to have detail and proper pacing.

I'll be watching the Director's Cut movie - Battle of the Two Gods next to see if it has anything extra than what was in the episodes.

[burningsoprettily]

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁

[burningsoprettily]

Not me watching the final match between Shrek and Martial Soul Hall's golden generation with bated breath 😭😭

More than that final match, the award ceremony was even more heart-stopping!! 💀💀💀

WE HAVE A LOVE CONFESSION EVERYONE!!! RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE TOO!! IN FRONT OF THE VERY FOLKS WHO WANT TO KILL THEM!!! 🤣🤣

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

[burningsoprettily]

A HUG!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

TANG SAN'S FACE 🥺🥺🥺

Tang Hao - you're forgiven 😤

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

[burningsoprettily]

Even the Slaughter King agrees Tang Hao is the most terrifying one out of the two (the other being Bibi Dong) 😏😏

Hu Liena why are you falling for a pretty face?? 😩 I expected better of you😔

Down, girl 😂

I like Bibi Dong as an antagonist. She is unapologetically ruthless and doesn't care about removing anyone against her. Then, there's the other side of her which cares very, very selectively about a very limited number of people. Ofc I hate her when she's gunning for my favs, but she's very cool 👍💯

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua reunion!! LMAO don't be too shocked Tang San! It's your aunt, not some other love interest of your dad 🤣🤣

Tang San finally meeting his dad's requirements and getting to know his parents' past 🥺🥺

Also, let's be real, younger Tang Hao was an absolute snack. And the way he handled the Martial Soul Hall dudes while being out of his mind with Ah Yin's loss - what strength! How badass! What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

[burningsoprettily]

Da Ming: Xiao Wu jie, tell us about your experiences in the human world.

Xiao Wu: *gives soliloquy about Tang San*

Da Ming: 👀

Er Ming: 👀

Hao Tian arc!!! Let's gooooo!!!

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: CALL ME UNCLE😡😡😡😡😡

Tang San: Uncle 🥺🥰

I like how they mentioned that Hao Tian tribe, just because they were in hiding, didn't stay stagnant. They have multiple FHDs now and are probably capable of being a major problem for Martial Soul Hall. 🔥🔥

Hao Tian elders be like: hehe you just have to do 3 tasks 🙂 oh and bring back the moon too 😊

SHREK REUNION!!!!!! 🥁🥁

I love how the first thing they do on seeing Tang San is to prank him LMAOOO #friendship_goals

Martial Soul Hall attacking all the tribes at the same time is so underhanded, but tactically that's brilliant. 👌

Good thing Chen Xin survived or I would have rioted 😑

Meme-worthy shot 😂

Look at these two flirting while running for their lives 😏

When I watched the events unfold, the first time round: so cool! so exciting!!🤩🤩

Me, on my nth rewatch, knowing what's going to happen soon: this is so stressful that I'm getting indigestion 😭😭😭

THAT BLOODY SPIDER!!! 😡😡😡😡 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT STUPID EIGHT-LEGGED WASTE OF SPACE, THEY COULD HAVE... 😭😭😭😭

That fight against Wu Hun Tian, an almost exact replica of Tang Hao's fight, the desperation, the fear, the helplessness, the unmatched fury - hells, that's so damn raw 😓

The parallels 😭

Excuse me as I sob for a million years over the ep 134💔

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San on his way to become Iron Man😂

Du Gu Bo and Tang San meet again!!! 😍

I always thought Xue Qing He was creepy. Good to finally see the proof. This is why you should always trust your instincts, kids 😌

Xue Beng's layers are finally shown, else we would have continued thinking he's a brat. Good on him for trying to survive his crazy ass brother👏

Yay!!! Oscar's back!!! Also, that's not even a scar and he's all, OH NO I'M UGLY AS HELL AND RONG RONG WON'T ACCEPT ME BOOHOO. Shut tf up, dude. It's barely noticeable. 🙄🙄🙄

Tang Clan creation, let's gooooo!!!! 😍😍

The two friends tag-teaming their third friend into joining Tang Clan *chef's kiss*

Tang San using Xiao Wu's skill and Xiao Wu's skill automatically activating when Tang San's in a tight spot ❤️❤️😭😭😭

Never tell a rabbit not to eat a plant 😂😂

Yang Wu Di: *stabs Tang San during battle*

Ma Hong Jun, Tang San: I'm sorry, but you're so dead

Xiao Wu's soul: You hurt my ge? *goes berserk*

Tang San and Xiao Wu step aside. Yang Wu Di's romance with the Fragrant Silk Woven flower has taken the top spot for epic romance.

Love the steampunk vibe for Gengxin town!! All the parachutes and zeppelins!!

I said it before and I'll say it again, our boy Tang San really is out here collecting all the (extraordinarily op!) grandpas lol

QIAN RENXUE!!! When (s)he said she'll give Tang San a fair fight because of the respect she has for him (I'm paraphrasing, don't come at me) 💯👏👌 yes give him more chances to destroy the entirety of Martial Soul Hall 😂

Xiao Wu is Tang San's trump card 😏 And seeing Xiao Wu go absolute Terror™ on anyone who hurt Tang San makes me all warm and fuzzy inside 😘😘

Operation: Break the Emperor out of his own Imperial Palace is a go! I adoreee this entire sequence of events!!!

Oohh hello there, long time no see! ❤️❤️🤩🤩 (yes, i have my favorites shuddup)

[burningsoprettily]

Usually people say ily, but their language is

Du Gu Bo: I'm part of Tang Clan too. Just take care of my food and living expenses and call me whenever there's a fight.

Tang San: I'll take care of your retirement without a problem

Look how happy he is. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the most feared Fenghao Douluo in the continent.

The Crown Prince of Xing Lou literally drove his own carriage lmaoo

ENGAGEMENT TIME!!!! 💍❤️

Shrek Seven Devils vs Chen Xin, fight! ⚔️

Kick their asses, Chen Xin!! 😍😘❤️🤩

*ahem* I mean, cheers for Shrek? 👀👏

I'm liking Xue Beng more and more. He apologised for his past misdeeds and has become our boi's first disciple! Yay!!

Dai Mu Bai, aka Human Pillow for his team

To Haishen Island we goooo!

When a fish gives a better boss fight than you *looking at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue*

Tang San with loose hair is making me go feral

Lmao poor Xue Beng. Tang San got a new disciple and he already taught him more than he ever did his first disciple 😂

The Purple Pearl Pirates' captain is badass just for telling Tang San that she won't give Xiao Wu back to him 😂

Logs of the Seven Devils and Bai Chen Xiang, during their time in Haishen Island:

Ma Hong Jun: We got bullied by turtles and fishes

Chen Xiang: I defeated a tiny jellyfish

Oscar: We climbed some steps

Rong Rong: We became powered up

Mu Bai: We saw a god

Zhu Qing: We met Bo Saixi

Xiao Wu: I bit ge as punishment

Tang San: I became an egg

Everyone, when Tang San hatched from the egg: 🤔

Everyone, when they saw him without his luscious locks:

Xiao Wu is such a Boss™ for completing the first test by kicking Tang San up the last few steps! 😂😂💯💯

Lucius Malfoy, that you?

Somehow, I find Bibi Dong to be more intriguing than Qian Renxue. I don't particularly care for Qian Renxue's angel trials. But Bibi Dong's past was heartbreaking. That absolute bastard Qian Xunji! She was his disciple!!! How dare he assault her!! Good on you for devouring his body and soul, Bibi Dong! #queen

[burningsoprettily]

Losing to a shark on dry land is shameful😏

Seeing how sweet Bibi Dong was when she was younger during the Yelin city flashback 🥺

I like Hu Liena and sort-of good with her brother, Xie Yue. But that lava boy though... Ugh, he's yucky and a creep😑

Look, I get that Bibi Dong is evil and everything BUT she started on this path because of the Grade A asshole, Qian Xunji. And despite everything, look how far she's come. She's OP!! And it's fully because of her (at worst evil, and at best morally grey) efforts!! I dunno, I just really like her as a character and how complex and multi-faceted she is.

Ma Hong Jun had a better appearance before his 'slimming'. I don't like this new design 😑

Throughout the Haishen Island arc:

The Shrek Team: We need to go back to the continent as soon as possible

The people in the continent: I wish they come back soon 🙁

Haima Douluo is a good guy, he didn't even get mad at Oscar and Tang San tricking him into depleting his power and taking advantage #good_bro

What Sea Fantasy Douluo thought: I'll bring up their deepest fears and regrets and it'll be enough 😁👍

What he got:

Everytime, ALWAYS, I'm surprised at the sheer audacity of this guy to say to Tang San's FACE that he was too weak to protect Xiao Wu, which is true BUT OMFG DUDE DID YOU NOT SEE HIM RIP PEOPLE APART JUST A FEW MINS BEFORE???? LITERALLY??? DO YOU WANT TO DIE???? CAN YOU NOT SEE HIS SANITY DROWNING IN THE OCEAN BEHIND???

Let's count it out

1. Made Tang San and Xiao Wu relive their worst, and I mean, THE WORST, day of their lives

2. Made Tang San lose his damn mind. Sanity goes byeeeee

3. Taunt the insane Tang San that he was useless in the past and too weak.

4. TARGET XIAO WU

Tang San, after Xiao Wu pushed his sense back into his head: Ah, Senior was provoking me intentionally 😮

Sea Fantasy Douluo: you're powerful but what an emotional, bad-tempered brat 😑

pfft

Me, looking at Bo Sai Xi, very, very respectfully: you can step on me anytime, ma'am😳

[burningsoprettily]

That entrance though 🤩 so dramatic! So cool!

QIN MING 😭😭😭😭 DAMN YOU GHOST BASTARD😡😡

Hu Liena: Let's clear things between us once and for all, Tang San

Tang San: *saves her life, again*

Hu Liena: shit

Tang Chen!! Hi handsome! Go say hi to your girlfriend, dude!!

Qin Ming, you've been avenged 😔

I called it, Yue Guan x Gui Mei! But oop, the latter is dead (well deserved 😤). Poor Yue Guan, just wait, your turn will come soon enough 😂

Da Ming 😞 Er Ming 😞

Xiao Wu is back!! Revival is a success!!

Xiao Wu fooling enemies into thinking she's a weak girl will never not be funny to me lmaooo

Ah Yin is back!! Revival is a success TWICE!! Power couple Tang Hao x Ah Yin is back together!!

I adore when siblings go through the enemies-to-friends arc!!

Ugh these Hao Tian elders, wow, how annoying. As if they are all sparkling clean, pfft. Tell them Tang San! And that Seventh Elder, you would think he learnt from past experience, but alas no🤣

[burningsoprettily]

Yeah, baby boi, flex your granddad's token! 💯👌

Tang Hao: *rips off his own limbs to guve the soul bones back to the tribe*

Tang Xiao: These soul bones belong to you

Tang Hao: am i a joke to you

The first time I watched this part, I thought Senior Luo Gao possessed the pretty hidden weapon lol. He achieved his life's goal, so respect!

Hiiiiiii~~~~😍😘

I get that the fight between Chen Xin and Tang San is set there to showcase how much our boy has grown strong, and it looks hella cool, but. BUT. You guys are in the middle of a war. Tactically, that's such a stupid ass decision. You both just wasted your soul power AND focused the spotlight right on your location. Good job.

Leaving aside the tactical holes, we've got so many reunions!!! Yay!!

[burningsoprettily]

Let's all appreciate Xiang Xiang for turning Shrek Seven Devils into Shrek Eight Devils

Also, guys, GUYS, I saw a clip in the outro and I looked it up and found an absolute treasure!!!!!! GUYSSSSS IT'S JACKIE CHAN AS TANG HAOOOOOO WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW

[burningsoprettily]

Goodbyeeeee, dear Chrysanthemum!! (ngl, I'm a bit sad that he's gone but ehhh he's reuniting with his lover, so yay, I guess?)

Oooh I loved this shot! It shows how much the wimpy prince has grown and his transformation into a steadfast emperor.

I will remain angry that they made this dude (who gave me major Xiao Xingchen vibes) and his really cool tribe evil 😞

Cool pose = time for an asskicking 👌

vs

Mmm the bg during the battle though... *chef's kiss* so good I got goosebumps

Chen Xin single-handedly turning the tides *double chef's kiss*

Let's be real, this entire battle is just Yu Xiao Gang and Bibi Dong trying to outmanuever and out-strategise each other😏

The Elemental Schools doing a badass entry 🤩

Ahh the entire battle for the Jialing Pass is awe~~some~~~

When Tang San was sneaking into JialingPass fo retrieve his Trident, I got major LoTR vibes (where Frodo and Sam were sneaking into Mordor and evading the eye of Sauron) hehe

It's always hilarious how the people from Martial Soul Empire are like, if only Tang San had surrendered, these many people wouldn't have died. Lmao do you have clay for brains??? And then, every time Tang San is being op, they are like howwww?? Fellas, all these op skills were cultivated BECAUSE you kept targeting him and his loved ones!! Sheeshhh!

Blue Lightning Dragon Clan's backkk! Or, more like Yu Tian Xin and Yu Tian Heng are backkk!

Ngl the peeks into Bibi Dong's past after Qian what's-his-name sexually assaulted her are heartbreaking. Of course, her trauma played a part in who she has become but she's so fucking strong for overcoming all that and becoming a super-badass. It sucks that she's on the other side of our faves, but gods, what an icon. I stan. Her aversion to her daughter (who was a result of the SA) is completely understandable. And, ah my heart, when she wished Nana was her daughter 😭😭😭

Bro just went full on Poseidon mode lmaoo

Whenever Bibi Dong and Tang San get into one of their death matches, don't ask me who I'm rooting for, because I don't know either 😭

Omg omg OMG OMG

Tang San, utterly drained of power, battered and unable to do anything but just wait for his death: Looks like this really is the end

Tang Clan's elders (Tang San's grandpas), trying to reach him but being batted away by the Golden Alligator Doulou: Chief!!

Chen Xin, Gu Ron, Shrek Seven Devils: *unable to break free from their opponents to help Tang San*

Literally everyone: *convinced that they're going to lose Tang San*

Tang Hao: WHO DARES TO HURT MY SON?

OMG THE CHILLS THE ABSOLUTE EPICNESS OF HIS ENTRY AAAAAHHHHHHHH

TANG HAO TANG HAO TANG HAO

Lol hammer got your tail? 🤣

HAOTIAN HAOTIAN HAOTIAN

[burningsoprettily]

The Tang brothers reminding the world why they were feared across the entire continent:

Tang Hao: *turns the Golden Alligator into Flattened Alligator*

Tang Xiao: *plays volleyball with not one, not two, but THREE Fenghao Douluos and scores*

Tang Hao and Xiao Gang: *coming up with something so that Tang San won't have to stay*

Tang Xiao, a dumb-dumb: When did he say that? 🤔

Tang Hao and Xiao Gang: 🙄🤦

LMAO he really is a disaster 🤣🤣

Everytime Qin Ming is mentioned, me: 🥹🥹

The more I see the Angel Trials, the more I am convinced that the Angel Tribe is the most deluded and delusional tribe of all. Qian Renxue, throughout the trial, does an ungodly amount of mental gymnastics and her opinion changes every other second. Like, stick to one thing, dude. Also, wow, you want to kill your mother for killing your father? Your father had it coming!!! He wasn't exactly a shining specimen of all that's good in the world, dumbass. He was a fucktard rapist who deserved to be ripped into shreds. Honestly, I'd rather see Bibi Dong's trials 😒

All for one! One for all!

Aww teeny tiny Tang San!! Cute!!

I am now positive that Human Faced Spiders have their spider-sense to alert them only for definitely-can-and-will-eviscerate-you threat levels.

Question: What keeps breaking everytime a spider even sneezes?

Answer: Tang San's eight spider bone soul bone.

Wow the fight between Qian Renxue and Tang San was brutal 💀

Haishen and Asura: *playing tug of war*

Tang San, the one being tugged: 👁️👄👁️

My ship died before it could even set sail😭

Not me sobbing like a baby during the orchestral climax of the commencement of the Ninth Test 😭😭 Bo Saixi!!!

Tang San, angry that Bo Saixi had to sacrifice herself, on seeing Haishen: hmph 😤

Haishen: 🙁

The Final Test

First Level: Baby Da Ming is too cute!!!

Second Level: All my rage at Tang Hao is back 😑

Third Level: Fishie got the big smack 🤣 Haishen literally smashed him into a puddle lmaoo

Fourth Level: Tang San legit said the test version of Bibi Dong wasn't unhinged enough HAHAHA

Fifth Level: this is like that scene from Jodhaa Akbar hehe

Sixth Level: Tang San, a hard mode fanatic, being tempted by Asura with easy mode. Lol, not a chance

Seventh Level: nbd just the eight spider bone getting crunched like potato chips AGAIN

ALL HAIL POSEIDON TANG SAN, THE GOD OF THE OCEAN

[burningsoprettily]

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁

[burningsoprettily]

Not me watching the final match between Shrek and Martial Soul Hall's golden generation with bated breath 😭😭

More than that final match, the award ceremony was even more heart-stopping!! 💀💀💀

WE HAVE A LOVE CONFESSION EVERYONE!!! RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE TOO!! IN FRONT OF THE VERY FOLKS WHO WANT TO KILL THEM!!! 🤣🤣

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

[burningsoprettily]

A HUG!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

TANG SAN'S FACE 🥺🥺🥺

Tang Hao - you're forgiven 😤

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

[burningsoprettily]

Even the Slaughter King agrees Tang Hao is the most terrifying one out of the two (the other being Bibi Dong) 😏😏

Hu Liena why are you falling for a pretty face?? 😩 I expected better of you😔

Down, girl 😂

I like Bibi Dong as an antagonist. She is unapologetically ruthless and doesn't care about removing anyone against her. Then, there's the other side of her which cares very, very selectively about a very limited number of people. Ofc I hate her when she's gunning for my favs, but she's very cool 👍💯

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua reunion!! LMAO don't be too shocked Tang San! It's your aunt, not some other love interest of your dad 🤣🤣

Tang San finally meeting his dad's requirements and getting to know his parents' past 🥺🥺

Also, let's be real, younger Tang Hao was an absolute snack. And the way he handled the Martial Soul Hall dudes while being out of his mind with Ah Yin's loss - what strength! How badass! What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

[burningsoprettily]

Da Ming: Xiao Wu jie, tell us about your experiences in the human world.

Xiao Wu: *gives soliloquy about Tang San*

Da Ming: 👀

Er Ming: 👀

Hao Tian arc!!! Let's gooooo!!!

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: CALL ME UNCLE😡😡😡😡😡

Tang San: Uncle 🥺🥰

I like how they mentioned that Hao Tian tribe, just because they were in hiding, didn't stay stagnant. They have multiple FHDs now and are probably capable of being a major problem for Martial Soul Hall. 🔥🔥

Hao Tian elders be like: hehe you just have to do 3 tasks 🙂 oh and bring back the moon too 😊

SHREK REUNION!!!!!! 🥁🥁

I love how the first thing they do on seeing Tang San is to prank him LMAOOO #friendship_goals

Martial Soul Hall attacking all the tribes at the same time is so underhanded, but tactically that's brilliant. 👌

Good thing Chen Xin survived or I would have rioted 😑

Meme-worthy shot 😂

Look at these two flirting while running for their lives 😏

When I watched the events unfold, the first time round: so cool! so exciting!!🤩🤩

Me, on my nth rewatch, knowing what's going to happen soon: this is so stressful that I'm getting indigestion 😭😭😭

THAT BLOODY SPIDER!!! 😡😡😡😡 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT STUPID EIGHT-LEGGED WASTE OF SPACE, THEY COULD HAVE... 😭😭😭😭

That fight against Wu Hun Tian, an almost exact replica of Tang Hao's fight, the desperation, the fear, the helplessness, the unmatched fury - hells, that's so damn raw 😓

The parallels 😭

Excuse me as I sob for a million years over the ep 134💔

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San on his way to become Iron Man😂

Du Gu Bo and Tang San meet again!!! 😍

I always thought Xue Qing He was creepy. Good to finally see the proof. This is why you should always trust your instincts, kids 😌

Xue Beng's layers are finally shown, else we would have continued thinking he's a brat. Good on him for trying to survive his crazy ass brother👏

Yay!!! Oscar's back!!! Also, that's not even a scar and he's all, OH NO I'M UGLY AS HELL AND RONG RONG WON'T ACCEPT ME BOOHOO. Shut tf up, dude. It's barely noticeable. 🙄🙄🙄

Tang Clan creation, let's gooooo!!!! 😍😍

The two friends tag-teaming their third friend into joining Tang Clan *chef's kiss*

Tang San using Xiao Wu's skill and Xiao Wu's skill automatically activating when Tang San's in a tight spot ❤️❤️😭😭😭

Never tell a rabbit not to eat a plant 😂😂

Yang Wu Di: *stabs Tang San during battle*

Ma Hong Jun, Tang San: I'm sorry, but you're so dead

Xiao Wu's soul: You hurt my ge? *goes berserk*

Tang San and Xiao Wu step aside. Yang Wu Di's romance with the Fragrant Silk Woven flower has taken the top spot for epic romance.

Love the steampunk vibe for Gengxin town!! All the parachutes and zeppelins!!

I said it before and I'll say it again, our boy Tang San really is out here collecting all the (extraordinarily op!) grandpas lol

QIAN RENXUE!!! When (s)he said she'll give Tang San a fair fight because of the respect she has for him (I'm paraphrasing, don't come at me) 💯👏👌 yes give him more chances to destroy the entirety of Martial Soul Hall 😂

Xiao Wu is Tang San's trump card 😏 And seeing Xiao Wu go absolute Terror™ on anyone who hurt Tang San makes me all warm and fuzzy inside 😘😘

Operation: Break the Emperor out of his own Imperial Palace is a go! I adoreee this entire sequence of events!!!

Oohh hello there, long time no see! ❤️❤️🤩🤩 (yes, i have my favorites shuddup)

[burningsoprettily]

Usually people say ily, but their language is

Du Gu Bo: I'm part of Tang Clan too. Just take care of my food and living expenses and call me whenever there's a fight.

Tang San: I'll take care of your retirement without a problem

Look how happy he is. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the most feared Fenghao Douluo in the continent.

The Crown Prince of Xing Lou literally drove his own carriage lmaoo

ENGAGEMENT TIME!!!! 💍❤️

Shrek Seven Devils vs Chen Xin, fight! ⚔️

Kick their asses, Chen Xin!! 😍😘❤️🤩

*ahem* I mean, cheers for Shrek? 👀👏

I'm liking Xue Beng more and more. He apologised for his past misdeeds and has become our boi's first disciple! Yay!!

Dai Mu Bai, aka Human Pillow for his team

To Haishen Island we goooo!

When a fish gives a better boss fight than you *looking at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue*

Tang San with loose hair is making me go feral

Lmao poor Xue Beng. Tang San got a new disciple and he already taught him more than he ever did his first disciple 😂

The Purple Pearl Pirates' captain is badass just for telling Tang San that she won't give Xiao Wu back to him 😂

Logs of the Seven Devils and Bai Chen Xiang, during their time in Haishen Island:

Ma Hong Jun: We got bullied by turtles and fishes

Chen Xiang: I defeated a tiny jellyfish

Oscar: We climbed some steps

Rong Rong: We became powered up

Mu Bai: We saw a god

Zhu Qing: We met Bo Saixi

Xiao Wu: I bit ge as punishment

Tang San: I became an egg

Everyone, when Tang San hatched from the egg: 🤔

Everyone, when they saw him without his luscious locks:

Xiao Wu is such a Boss™ for completing the first test by kicking Tang San up the last few steps! 😂😂💯💯

Lucius Malfoy, that you?

Somehow, I find Bibi Dong to be more intriguing than Qian Renxue. I don't particularly care for Qian Renxue's angel trials. But Bibi Dong's past was heartbreaking. That absolute bastard Qian Xunji! She was his disciple!!! How dare he assault her!! Good on you for devouring his body and soul, Bibi Dong! #queen

[burningsoprettily]

Losing to a shark on dry land is shameful😏

Seeing how sweet Bibi Dong was when she was younger during the Yelin city flashback 🥺

I like Hu Liena and sort-of good with her brother, Xie Yue. But that lava boy though... Ugh, he's yucky and a creep😑

Look, I get that Bibi Dong is evil and everything BUT she started on this path because of the Grade A asshole, Qian Xunji. And despite everything, look how far she's come. She's OP!! And it's fully because of her (at worst evil, and at best morally grey) efforts!! I dunno, I just really like her as a character and how complex and multi-faceted she is.

Ma Hong Jun had a better appearance before his 'slimming'. I don't like this new design 😑

Throughout the Haishen Island arc:

The Shrek Team: We need to go back to the continent as soon as possible

The people in the continent: I wish they come back soon 🙁

Haima Douluo is a good guy, he didn't even get mad at Oscar and Tang San tricking him into depleting his power and taking advantage #good_bro

What Sea Fantasy Douluo thought: I'll bring up their deepest fears and regrets and it'll be enough 😁👍

What he got:

Everytime, ALWAYS, I'm surprised at the sheer audacity of this guy to say to Tang San's FACE that he was too weak to protect Xiao Wu, which is true BUT OMFG DUDE DID YOU NOT SEE HIM RIP PEOPLE APART JUST A FEW MINS BEFORE???? LITERALLY??? DO YOU WANT TO DIE???? CAN YOU NOT SEE HIS SANITY DROWNING IN THE OCEAN BEHIND???

Let's count it out

1. Made Tang San and Xiao Wu relive their worst, and I mean, THE WORST, day of their lives

2. Made Tang San lose his damn mind. Sanity goes byeeeee

3. Taunt the insane Tang San that he was useless in the past and too weak.

4. TARGET XIAO WU

Tang San, after Xiao Wu pushed his sense back into his head: Ah, Senior was provoking me intentionally 😮

Sea Fantasy Douluo: you're powerful but what an emotional, bad-tempered brat 😑

pfft

Me, looking at Bo Sai Xi, very, very respectfully: you can step on me anytime, ma'am😳

[burningsoprettily]

That entrance though 🤩 so dramatic! So cool!

QIN MING 😭😭😭😭 DAMN YOU GHOST BASTARD😡😡

Hu Liena: Let's clear things between us once and for all, Tang San

Tang San: *saves her life, again*

Hu Liena: shit

Tang Chen!! Hi handsome! Go say hi to your girlfriend, dude!!

Qin Ming, you've been avenged 😔

I called it, Yue Guan x Gui Mei! But oop, the latter is dead (well deserved 😤). Poor Yue Guan, just wait, your turn will come soon enough 😂

Da Ming 😞 Er Ming 😞

Xiao Wu is back!! Revival is a success!!

Xiao Wu fooling enemies into thinking she's a weak girl will never not be funny to me lmaooo

Ah Yin is back!! Revival is a success TWICE!! Power couple Tang Hao x Ah Yin is back together!!

I adore when siblings go through the enemies-to-friends arc!!

Ugh these Hao Tian elders, wow, how annoying. As if they are all sparkling clean, pfft. Tell them Tang San! And that Seventh Elder, you would think he learnt from past experience, but alas no🤣

[burningsoprettily]

Yeah, baby boi, flex your granddad's token! 💯👌

Tang Hao: *rips off his own limbs to guve the soul bones back to the tribe*

Tang Xiao: These soul bones belong to you

Tang Hao: am i a joke to you

The first time I watched this part, I thought Senior Luo Gao possessed the pretty hidden weapon lol. He achieved his life's goal, so respect!

Hiiiiiii~~~~😍😘

I get that the fight between Chen Xin and Tang San is set there to showcase how much our boy has grown strong, and it looks hella cool, but. BUT. You guys are in the middle of a war. Tactically, that's such a stupid ass decision. You both just wasted your soul power AND focused the spotlight right on your location. Good job.

Leaving aside the tactical holes, we've got so many reunions!!! Yay!!

[burningsoprettily]

Let's all appreciate Xiang Xiang for turning Shrek Seven Devils into Shrek Eight Devils

Also, guys, GUYS, I saw a clip in the outro and I looked it up and found an absolute treasure!!!!!! GUYSSSSS IT'S JACKIE CHAN AS TANG HAOOOOOO WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW

[burningsoprettily]

Goodbyeeeee, dear Chrysanthemum!! (ngl, I'm a bit sad that he's gone but ehhh he's reuniting with his lover, so yay, I guess?)

Oooh I loved this shot! It shows how much the wimpy prince has grown and his transformation into a steadfast emperor.

I will remain angry that they made this dude (who gave me major Xiao Xingchen vibes) and his really cool tribe evil 😞

Cool pose = time for an asskicking 👌

vs

Mmm the bg during the battle though... *chef's kiss* so good I got goosebumps

Chen Xin single-handedly turning the tides *double chef's kiss*

Let's be real, this entire battle is just Yu Xiao Gang and Bibi Dong trying to outmanuever and out-strategise each other😏

The Elemental Schools doing a badass entry 🤩

Ahh the entire battle for the Jialing Pass is awe~~some~~~

When Tang San was sneaking into JialingPass fo retrieve his Trident, I got major LoTR vibes (where Frodo and Sam were sneaking into Mordor and evading the eye of Sauron) hehe

It's always hilarious how the people from Martial Soul Empire are like, if only Tang San had surrendered, these many people wouldn't have died. Lmao do you have clay for brains??? And then, every time Tang San is being op, they are like howwww?? Fellas, all these op skills were cultivated BECAUSE you kept targeting him and his loved ones!! Sheeshhh!

Blue Lightning Dragon Clan's backkk! Or, more like Yu Tian Xin and Yu Tian Heng are backkk!

Ngl the peeks into Bibi Dong's past after Qian what's-his-name sexually assaulted her are heartbreaking. Of course, her trauma played a part in who she has become but she's so fucking strong for overcoming all that and becoming a super-badass. It sucks that she's on the other side of our faves, but gods, what an icon. I stan. Her aversion to her daughter (who was a result of the SA) is completely understandable. And, ah my heart, when she wished Nana was her daughter 😭😭😭

Bro just went full on Poseidon mode lmaoo

Whenever Bibi Dong and Tang San get into one of their death matches, don't ask me who I'm rooting for, because I don't know either 😭

Omg omg OMG OMG

Tang San, utterly drained of power, battered and unable to do anything but just wait for his death: Looks like this really is the end

Tang Clan's elders (Tang San's grandpas), trying to reach him but being batted away by the Golden Alligator Doulou: Chief!!

Chen Xin, Gu Ron, Shrek Seven Devils: *unable to break free from their opponents to help Tang San*

Literally everyone: *convinced that they're going to lose Tang San*

Tang Hao: WHO DARES TO HURT MY SON?

OMG THE CHILLS THE ABSOLUTE EPICNESS OF HIS ENTRY AAAAAHHHHHHHH

TANG HAO TANG HAO TANG HAO

Lol hammer got your tail? 🤣

HAOTIAN HAOTIAN HAOTIAN

[burningsoprettily]

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁

[burningsoprettily]

Not me watching the final match between Shrek and Martial Soul Hall's golden generation with bated breath 😭😭

More than that final match, the award ceremony was even more heart-stopping!! 💀💀💀

WE HAVE A LOVE CONFESSION EVERYONE!!! RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE TOO!! IN FRONT OF THE VERY FOLKS WHO WANT TO KILL THEM!!! 🤣🤣

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

[burningsoprettily]

A HUG!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

TANG SAN'S FACE 🥺🥺🥺

Tang Hao - you're forgiven 😤

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

[burningsoprettily]

Even the Slaughter King agrees Tang Hao is the most terrifying one out of the two (the other being Bibi Dong) 😏😏

Hu Liena why are you falling for a pretty face?? 😩 I expected better of you😔

Down, girl 😂

I like Bibi Dong as an antagonist. She is unapologetically ruthless and doesn't care about removing anyone against her. Then, there's the other side of her which cares very, very selectively about a very limited number of people. Ofc I hate her when she's gunning for my favs, but she's very cool 👍💯

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua reunion!! LMAO don't be too shocked Tang San! It's your aunt, not some other love interest of your dad 🤣🤣

Tang San finally meeting his dad's requirements and getting to know his parents' past 🥺🥺

Also, let's be real, younger Tang Hao was an absolute snack. And the way he handled the Martial Soul Hall dudes while being out of his mind with Ah Yin's loss - what strength! How badass! What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

[burningsoprettily]

Da Ming: Xiao Wu jie, tell us about your experiences in the human world.

Xiao Wu: *gives soliloquy about Tang San*

Da Ming: 👀

Er Ming: 👀

Hao Tian arc!!! Let's gooooo!!!

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: CALL ME UNCLE😡😡😡😡😡

Tang San: Uncle 🥺🥰

I like how they mentioned that Hao Tian tribe, just because they were in hiding, didn't stay stagnant. They have multiple FHDs now and are probably capable of being a major problem for Martial Soul Hall. 🔥🔥

Hao Tian elders be like: hehe you just have to do 3 tasks 🙂 oh and bring back the moon too 😊

SHREK REUNION!!!!!! 🥁🥁

I love how the first thing they do on seeing Tang San is to prank him LMAOOO #friendship_goals

Martial Soul Hall attacking all the tribes at the same time is so underhanded, but tactically that's brilliant. 👌

Good thing Chen Xin survived or I would have rioted 😑

Meme-worthy shot 😂

Look at these two flirting while running for their lives 😏

When I watched the events unfold, the first time round: so cool! so exciting!!🤩🤩

Me, on my nth rewatch, knowing what's going to happen soon: this is so stressful that I'm getting indigestion 😭😭😭

THAT BLOODY SPIDER!!! 😡😡😡😡 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT STUPID EIGHT-LEGGED WASTE OF SPACE, THEY COULD HAVE... 😭😭😭😭

That fight against Wu Hun Tian, an almost exact replica of Tang Hao's fight, the desperation, the fear, the helplessness, the unmatched fury - hells, that's so damn raw 😓

The parallels 😭

Excuse me as I sob for a million years over the ep 134💔

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San on his way to become Iron Man😂

Du Gu Bo and Tang San meet again!!! 😍

I always thought Xue Qing He was creepy. Good to finally see the proof. This is why you should always trust your instincts, kids 😌

Xue Beng's layers are finally shown, else we would have continued thinking he's a brat. Good on him for trying to survive his crazy ass brother👏

Yay!!! Oscar's back!!! Also, that's not even a scar and he's all, OH NO I'M UGLY AS HELL AND RONG RONG WON'T ACCEPT ME BOOHOO. Shut tf up, dude. It's barely noticeable. 🙄🙄🙄

Tang Clan creation, let's gooooo!!!! 😍😍

The two friends tag-teaming their third friend into joining Tang Clan *chef's kiss*

Tang San using Xiao Wu's skill and Xiao Wu's skill automatically activating when Tang San's in a tight spot ❤️❤️😭😭😭

Never tell a rabbit not to eat a plant 😂😂

Yang Wu Di: *stabs Tang San during battle*

Ma Hong Jun, Tang San: I'm sorry, but you're so dead

Xiao Wu's soul: You hurt my ge? *goes berserk*

Tang San and Xiao Wu step aside. Yang Wu Di's romance with the Fragrant Silk Woven flower has taken the top spot for epic romance.

Love the steampunk vibe for Gengxin town!! All the parachutes and zeppelins!!

I said it before and I'll say it again, our boy Tang San really is out here collecting all the (extraordinarily op!) grandpas lol

QIAN RENXUE!!! When (s)he said she'll give Tang San a fair fight because of the respect she has for him (I'm paraphrasing, don't come at me) 💯👏👌 yes give him more chances to destroy the entirety of Martial Soul Hall 😂

Xiao Wu is Tang San's trump card 😏 And seeing Xiao Wu go absolute Terror™ on anyone who hurt Tang San makes me all warm and fuzzy inside 😘😘

Operation: Break the Emperor out of his own Imperial Palace is a go! I adoreee this entire sequence of events!!!

Oohh hello there, long time no see! ❤️❤️🤩🤩 (yes, i have my favorites shuddup)

[burningsoprettily]

Usually people say ily, but their language is

Du Gu Bo: I'm part of Tang Clan too. Just take care of my food and living expenses and call me whenever there's a fight.

Tang San: I'll take care of your retirement without a problem

Look how happy he is. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the most feared Fenghao Douluo in the continent.

The Crown Prince of Xing Lou literally drove his own carriage lmaoo

ENGAGEMENT TIME!!!! 💍❤️

Shrek Seven Devils vs Chen Xin, fight! ⚔️

Kick their asses, Chen Xin!! 😍😘❤️🤩

*ahem* I mean, cheers for Shrek? 👀👏

I'm liking Xue Beng more and more. He apologised for his past misdeeds and has become our boi's first disciple! Yay!!

Dai Mu Bai, aka Human Pillow for his team

To Haishen Island we goooo!

When a fish gives a better boss fight than you *looking at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue*

Tang San with loose hair is making me go feral

Lmao poor Xue Beng. Tang San got a new disciple and he already taught him more than he ever did his first disciple 😂

The Purple Pearl Pirates' captain is badass just for telling Tang San that she won't give Xiao Wu back to him 😂

Logs of the Seven Devils and Bai Chen Xiang, during their time in Haishen Island:

Ma Hong Jun: We got bullied by turtles and fishes

Chen Xiang: I defeated a tiny jellyfish

Oscar: We climbed some steps

Rong Rong: We became powered up

Mu Bai: We saw a god

Zhu Qing: We met Bo Saixi

Xiao Wu: I bit ge as punishment

Tang San: I became an egg

Everyone, when Tang San hatched from the egg: 🤔

Everyone, when they saw him without his luscious locks:

Xiao Wu is such a Boss™ for completing the first test by kicking Tang San up the last few steps! 😂😂💯💯

Lucius Malfoy, that you?

Somehow, I find Bibi Dong to be more intriguing than Qian Renxue. I don't particularly care for Qian Renxue's angel trials. But Bibi Dong's past was heartbreaking. That absolute bastard Qian Xunji! She was his disciple!!! How dare he assault her!! Good on you for devouring his body and soul, Bibi Dong! #queen

[burningsoprettily]

Losing to a shark on dry land is shameful😏

Seeing how sweet Bibi Dong was when she was younger during the Yelin city flashback 🥺

I like Hu Liena and sort-of good with her brother, Xie Yue. But that lava boy though... Ugh, he's yucky and a creep😑

Look, I get that Bibi Dong is evil and everything BUT she started on this path because of the Grade A asshole, Qian Xunji. And despite everything, look how far she's come. She's OP!! And it's fully because of her (at worst evil, and at best morally grey) efforts!! I dunno, I just really like her as a character and how complex and multi-faceted she is.

Ma Hong Jun had a better appearance before his 'slimming'. I don't like this new design 😑

Throughout the Haishen Island arc:

The Shrek Team: We need to go back to the continent as soon as possible

The people in the continent: I wish they come back soon 🙁

Haima Douluo is a good guy, he didn't even get mad at Oscar and Tang San tricking him into depleting his power and taking advantage #good_bro

What Sea Fantasy Douluo thought: I'll bring up their deepest fears and regrets and it'll be enough 😁👍

What he got:

Everytime, ALWAYS, I'm surprised at the sheer audacity of this guy to say to Tang San's FACE that he was too weak to protect Xiao Wu, which is true BUT OMFG DUDE DID YOU NOT SEE HIM RIP PEOPLE APART JUST A FEW MINS BEFORE???? LITERALLY??? DO YOU WANT TO DIE???? CAN YOU NOT SEE HIS SANITY DROWNING IN THE OCEAN BEHIND???

Let's count it out

1. Made Tang San and Xiao Wu relive their worst, and I mean, THE WORST, day of their lives

2. Made Tang San lose his damn mind. Sanity goes byeeeee

3. Taunt the insane Tang San that he was useless in the past and too weak.

4. TARGET XIAO WU

Tang San, after Xiao Wu pushed his sense back into his head: Ah, Senior was provoking me intentionally 😮

Sea Fantasy Douluo: you're powerful but what an emotional, bad-tempered brat 😑

pfft

Me, looking at Bo Sai Xi, very, very respectfully: you can step on me anytime, ma'am😳

[burningsoprettily]

That entrance though 🤩 so dramatic! So cool!

QIN MING 😭😭😭😭 DAMN YOU GHOST BASTARD😡😡

Hu Liena: Let's clear things between us once and for all, Tang San

Tang San: *saves her life, again*

Hu Liena: shit

Tang Chen!! Hi handsome! Go say hi to your girlfriend, dude!!

Qin Ming, you've been avenged 😔

I called it, Yue Guan x Gui Mei! But oop, the latter is dead (well deserved 😤). Poor Yue Guan, just wait, your turn will come soon enough 😂

Da Ming 😞 Er Ming 😞

Xiao Wu is back!! Revival is a success!!

Xiao Wu fooling enemies into thinking she's a weak girl will never not be funny to me lmaooo

Ah Yin is back!! Revival is a success TWICE!! Power couple Tang Hao x Ah Yin is back together!!

I adore when siblings go through the enemies-to-friends arc!!

Ugh these Hao Tian elders, wow, how annoying. As if they are all sparkling clean, pfft. Tell them Tang San! And that Seventh Elder, you would think he learnt from past experience, but alas no🤣

[burningsoprettily]

Yeah, baby boi, flex your granddad's token! 💯👌

Tang Hao: *rips off his own limbs to guve the soul bones back to the tribe*

Tang Xiao: These soul bones belong to you

Tang Hao: am i a joke to you

The first time I watched this part, I thought Senior Luo Gao possessed the pretty hidden weapon lol. He achieved his life's goal, so respect!

Hiiiiiii~~~~😍😘

I get that the fight between Chen Xin and Tang San is set there to showcase how much our boy has grown strong, and it looks hella cool, but. BUT. You guys are in the middle of a war. Tactically, that's such a stupid ass decision. You both just wasted your soul power AND focused the spotlight right on your location. Good job.

Leaving aside the tactical holes, we've got so many reunions!!! Yay!!

Let's all appreciate Xiang Xiang for turning Shrek Seven Devils into Shrek Eight Devils

Also, guys, GUYS, I saw a clip in the outro and I looked it up and found an absolute treasure!!!!!! GUYSSSSS IT'S JACKIE CHAN AS TANG HAOOOOOO WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW

[burningsoprettily]

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁

[burningsoprettily]

Not me watching the final match between Shrek and Martial Soul Hall's golden generation with bated breath 😭😭

More than that final match, the award ceremony was even more heart-stopping!! 💀💀💀

WE HAVE A LOVE CONFESSION EVERYONE!!! RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE TOO!! IN FRONT OF THE VERY FOLKS WHO WANT TO KILL THEM!!! 🤣🤣

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

[burningsoprettily]

A HUG!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

TANG SAN'S FACE 🥺🥺🥺

Tang Hao - you're forgiven 😤

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

[burningsoprettily]

Even the Slaughter King agrees Tang Hao is the most terrifying one out of the two (the other being Bibi Dong) 😏😏

Hu Liena why are you falling for a pretty face?? 😩 I expected better of you😔

Down, girl 😂

I like Bibi Dong as an antagonist. She is unapologetically ruthless and doesn't care about removing anyone against her. Then, there's the other side of her which cares very, very selectively about a very limited number of people. Ofc I hate her when she's gunning for my favs, but she's very cool 👍💯

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua reunion!! LMAO don't be too shocked Tang San! It's your aunt, not some other love interest of your dad 🤣🤣

Tang San finally meeting his dad's requirements and getting to know his parents' past 🥺🥺

Also, let's be real, younger Tang Hao was an absolute snack. And the way he handled the Martial Soul Hall dudes while being out of his mind with Ah Yin's loss - what strength! How badass! What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

[burningsoprettily]

Da Ming: Xiao Wu jie, tell us about your experiences in the human world.

Xiao Wu: *gives soliloquy about Tang San*

Da Ming: 👀

Er Ming: 👀

Hao Tian arc!!! Let's gooooo!!!

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: CALL ME UNCLE😡😡😡😡😡

Tang San: Uncle 🥺🥰

I like how they mentioned that Hao Tian tribe, just because they were in hiding, didn't stay stagnant. They have multiple FHDs now and are probably capable of being a major problem for Martial Soul Hall. 🔥🔥

Hao Tian elders be like: hehe you just have to do 3 tasks 🙂 oh and bring back the moon too 😊

SHREK REUNION!!!!!! 🥁🥁

I love how the first thing they do on seeing Tang San is to prank him LMAOOO #friendship_goals

Martial Soul Hall attacking all the tribes at the same time is so underhanded, but tactically that's brilliant. 👌

Good thing Chen Xin survived or I would have rioted 😑

Meme-worthy shot 😂

Look at these two flirting while running for their lives 😏

When I watched the events unfold, the first time round: so cool! so exciting!!🤩🤩

Me, on my nth rewatch, knowing what's going to happen soon: this is so stressful that I'm getting indigestion 😭😭😭

THAT BLOODY SPIDER!!! 😡😡😡😡 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT STUPID EIGHT-LEGGED WASTE OF SPACE, THEY COULD HAVE... 😭😭😭😭

That fight against Wu Hun Tian, an almost exact replica of Tang Hao's fight, the desperation, the fear, the helplessness, the unmatched fury - hells, that's so damn raw 😓

The parallels 😭

Excuse me as I sob for a million years over the ep 134💔

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San on his way to become Iron Man😂

Du Gu Bo and Tang San meet again!!! 😍

I always thought Xue Qing He was creepy. Good to finally see the proof. This is why you should always trust your instincts, kids 😌

Xue Beng's layers are finally shown, else we would have continued thinking he's a brat. Good on him for trying to survive his crazy ass brother👏

Yay!!! Oscar's back!!! Also, that's not even a scar and he's all, OH NO I'M UGLY AS HELL AND RONG RONG WON'T ACCEPT ME BOOHOO. Shut tf up, dude. It's barely noticeable. 🙄🙄🙄

Tang Clan creation, let's gooooo!!!! 😍😍

The two friends tag-teaming their third friend into joining Tang Clan *chef's kiss*

Tang San using Xiao Wu's skill and Xiao Wu's skill automatically activating when Tang San's in a tight spot ❤️❤️😭😭😭

Never tell a rabbit not to eat a plant 😂😂

Yang Wu Di: *stabs Tang San during battle*

Ma Hong Jun, Tang San: I'm sorry, but you're so dead

Xiao Wu's soul: You hurt my ge? *goes berserk*

Tang San and Xiao Wu step aside. Yang Wu Di's romance with the Fragrant Silk Woven flower has taken the top spot for epic romance.

Love the steampunk vibe for Gengxin town!! All the parachutes and zeppelins!!

I said it before and I'll say it again, our boy Tang San really is out here collecting all the (extraordinarily op!) grandpas lol

QIAN RENXUE!!! When (s)he said she'll give Tang San a fair fight because of the respect she has for him (I'm paraphrasing, don't come at me) 💯👏👌 yes give him more chances to destroy the entirety of Martial Soul Hall 😂

Xiao Wu is Tang San's trump card 😏 And seeing Xiao Wu go absolute Terror™ on anyone who hurt Tang San makes me all warm and fuzzy inside 😘😘

Operation: Break the Emperor out of his own Imperial Palace is a go! I adoreee this entire sequence of events!!!

Oohh hello there, long time no see! ❤️❤️🤩🤩 (yes, i have my favorites shuddup)

[burningsoprettily]

Usually people say ily, but their language is

Du Gu Bo: I'm part of Tang Clan too. Just take care of my food and living expenses and call me whenever there's a fight.

Tang San: I'll take care of your retirement without a problem

Look how happy he is. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the most feared Fenghao Douluo in the continent.

The Crown Prince of Xing Lou literally drove his own carriage lmaoo

ENGAGEMENT TIME!!!! 💍❤️

Shrek Seven Devils vs Chen Xin, fight! ⚔️

Kick their asses, Chen Xin!! 😍😘❤️🤩

*ahem* I mean, cheers for Shrek? 👀👏

I'm liking Xue Beng more and more. He apologised for his past misdeeds and has become our boi's first disciple! Yay!!

Dai Mu Bai, aka Human Pillow for his team

To Haishen Island we goooo!

When a fish gives a better boss fight than you *looking at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue*

Tang San with loose hair is making me go feral

Lmao poor Xue Beng. Tang San got a new disciple and he already taught him more than he ever did his first disciple 😂

The Purple Pearl Pirates' captain is badass just for telling Tang San that she won't give Xiao Wu back to him 😂

Logs of the Seven Devils and Bai Chen Xiang, during their time in Haishen Island:

Ma Hong Jun: We got bullied by turtles and fishes

Chen Xiang: I defeated a tiny jellyfish

Oscar: We climbed some steps

Rong Rong: We became powered up

Mu Bai: We saw a god

Zhu Qing: We met Bo Saixi

Xiao Wu: I bit ge as punishment

Tang San: I became an egg

Everyone, when Tang San hatched from the egg: 🤔

Everyone, when they saw him without his luscious locks:

Xiao Wu is such a Boss™ for completing the first test by kicking Tang San up the last few steps! 😂😂💯💯

Lucius Malfoy, that you?

Somehow, I find Bibi Dong to be more intriguing than Qian Renxue. I don't particularly care for Qian Renxue's angel trials. But Bibi Dong's past was heartbreaking. That absolute bastard Qian Xunji! She was his disciple!!! How dare he assault her!! Good on you for devouring his body and soul, Bibi Dong! #queen

[burningsoprettily]

Losing to a shark on dry land is shameful😏

Seeing how sweet Bibi Dong was when she was younger during the Yelin city flashback 🥺

I like Hu Liena and sort-of good with her brother, Xie Yue. But that lava boy though... Ugh, he's yucky and a creep😑

Look, I get that Bibi Dong is evil and everything BUT she started on this path because of the Grade A asshole, Qian Xunji. And despite everything, look how far she's come. She's OP!! And it's fully because of her (at worst evil, and at best morally grey) efforts!! I dunno, I just really like her as a character and how complex and multi-faceted she is.

Ma Hong Jun had a better appearance before his 'slimming'. I don't like this new design 😑

Throughout the Haishen Island arc:

The Shrek Team: We need to go back to the continent as soon as possible

The people in the continent: I wish they come back soon 🙁

Haima Douluo is a good guy, he didn't even get mad at Oscar and Tang San tricking him into depleting his power and taking advantage #good_bro

What Sea Fantasy Douluo thought: I'll bring up their deepest fears and regrets and it'll be enough 😁👍

What he got:

Everytime, ALWAYS, I'm surprised at the sheer audacity of this guy to say to Tang San's FACE that he was too weak to protect Xiao Wu, which is true BUT OMFG DUDE DID YOU NOT SEE HIM RIP PEOPLE APART JUST A FEW MINS BEFORE???? LITERALLY??? DO YOU WANT TO DIE???? CAN YOU NOT SEE HIS SANITY DROWNING IN THE OCEAN BEHIND???

Let's count it out

1. Made Tang San and Xiao Wu relive their worst, and I mean, THE WORST, day of their lives

2. Made Tang San lose his damn mind. Sanity goes byeeeee

3. Taunt the insane Tang San that he was useless in the past and too weak.

4. TARGET XIAO WU

Tang San, after Xiao Wu pushed his sense back into his head: Ah, Senior was provoking me intentionally 😮

Sea Fantasy Douluo: you're powerful but what an emotional, bad-tempered brat 😑

pfft

Me, looking at Bo Sai Xi, very, very respectfully: you can step on me anytime, ma'am😳

[burningsoprettily]

That entrance though 🤩 so dramatic! So cool!

QIN MING 😭😭😭😭 DAMN YOU GHOST BASTARD😡😡

Hu Liena: Let's clear things between us once and for all, Tang San

Tang San: *saves her life, again*

Hu Liena: shit

Tang Chen!! Hi handsome! Go say hi to your girlfriend, dude!!

Qin Ming, you've been avenged 😔

I called it, Yue Guan x Gui Mei! But oop, the latter is dead (well deserved 😤). Poor Yue Guan, just wait, your turn will come soon enough 😂

Da Ming 😞 Er Ming 😞

Xiao Wu is back!! Revival is a success!!

Xiao Wu fooling enemies into thinking she's a weak girl will never not be funny to me lmaooo

Ah Yin is back!! Revival is a success TWICE!! Power couple Tang Hao x Ah Yin is back together!!

I adore when siblings go through the enemies-to-friends arc!!

Ugh these Hao Tian elders, wow, how annoying. As if they are all sparkling clean, pfft. Tell them Tang San! And that Seventh Elder, you would think he learnt from past experience, but alas no🤣

[burningsoprettily]

Yeah, baby boi, flex your granddad's token! 💯👌

Tang Hao: *rips off his own limbs to guve the soul bones back to the tribe*

Tang Xiao: These soul bones belong to you

Tang Hao: am i a joke to you

The first time I watched this part, I thought Senior Luo Gao possessed the pretty hidden weapon lol. He achieved his life's goal, so respect!

Hiiiiiii~~~~😍😘

I get that the fight between Chen Xin and Tang San is set there to showcase how much our boy has grown strong, and it looks hella cool, but. BUT. You guys are in the middle of a war. Tactically, that's such a stupid ass decision. You both just wasted your soul power AND focused the spotlight right on your location. Good job.

Leaving aside the tactical holes, we've got so many reunions!!! Yay!!

[burningsoprettily]

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁

[burningsoprettily]

Not me watching the final match between Shrek and Martial Soul Hall's golden generation with bated breath 😭😭

More than that final match, the award ceremony was even more heart-stopping!! 💀💀💀

WE HAVE A LOVE CONFESSION EVERYONE!!! RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE TOO!! IN FRONT OF THE VERY FOLKS WHO WANT TO KILL THEM!!! 🤣🤣

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

[burningsoprettily]

A HUG!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

TANG SAN'S FACE 🥺🥺🥺

Tang Hao - you're forgiven 😤

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

[burningsoprettily]

Even the Slaughter King agrees Tang Hao is the most terrifying one out of the two (the other being Bibi Dong) 😏😏

Hu Liena why are you falling for a pretty face?? 😩 I expected better of you😔

Down, girl 😂

I like Bibi Dong as an antagonist. She is unapologetically ruthless and doesn't care about removing anyone against her. Then, there's the other side of her which cares very, very selectively about a very limited number of people. Ofc I hate her when she's gunning for my favs, but she's very cool 👍💯

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua reunion!! LMAO don't be too shocked Tang San! It's your aunt, not some other love interest of your dad 🤣🤣

Tang San finally meeting his dad's requirements and getting to know his parents' past 🥺🥺

Also, let's be real, younger Tang Hao was an absolute snack. And the way he handled the Martial Soul Hall dudes while being out of his mind with Ah Yin's loss - what strength! How badass! What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

[burningsoprettily]

Da Ming: Xiao Wu jie, tell us about your experiences in the human world.

Xiao Wu: *gives soliloquy about Tang San*

Da Ming: 👀

Er Ming: 👀

Hao Tian arc!!! Let's gooooo!!!

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: CALL ME UNCLE😡😡😡😡😡

Tang San: Uncle 🥺🥰

I like how they mentioned that Hao Tian tribe, just because they were in hiding, didn't stay stagnant. They have multiple FHDs now and are probably capable of being a major problem for Martial Soul Hall. 🔥🔥

Hao Tian elders be like: hehe you just have to do 3 tasks 🙂 oh and bring back the moon too 😊

SHREK REUNION!!!!!! 🥁🥁

I love how the first thing they do on seeing Tang San is to prank him LMAOOO #friendship_goals

Martial Soul Hall attacking all the tribes at the same time is so underhanded, but tactically that's brilliant. 👌

Good thing Chen Xin survived or I would have rioted 😑

Meme-worthy shot 😂

Look at these two flirting while running for their lives 😏

When I watched the events unfold, the first time round: so cool! so exciting!!🤩🤩

Me, on my nth rewatch, knowing what's going to happen soon: this is so stressful that I'm getting indigestion 😭😭😭

THAT BLOODY SPIDER!!! 😡😡😡😡 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT STUPID EIGHT-LEGGED WASTE OF SPACE, THEY COULD HAVE... 😭😭😭😭

That fight against Wu Hun Tian, an almost exact replica of Tang Hao's fight, the desperation, the fear, the helplessness, the unmatched fury - hells, that's so damn raw 😓

The parallels 😭

Excuse me as I sob for a million years over the ep 134💔

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San on his way to become Iron Man😂

Du Gu Bo and Tang San meet again!!! 😍

I always thought Xue Qing He was creepy. Good to finally see the proof. This is why you should always trust your instincts, kids 😌

Xue Beng's layers are finally shown, else we would have continued thinking he's a brat. Good on him for trying to survive his crazy ass brother👏

Yay!!! Oscar's back!!! Also, that's not even a scar and he's all, OH NO I'M UGLY AS HELL AND RONG RONG WON'T ACCEPT ME BOOHOO. Shut tf up, dude. It's barely noticeable. 🙄🙄🙄

Tang Clan creation, let's gooooo!!!! 😍😍

The two friends tag-teaming their third friend into joining Tang Clan *chef's kiss*

Tang San using Xiao Wu's skill and Xiao Wu's skill automatically activating when Tang San's in a tight spot ❤️❤️😭😭😭

Never tell a rabbit not to eat a plant 😂😂

Yang Wu Di: *stabs Tang San during battle*

Ma Hong Jun, Tang San: I'm sorry, but you're so dead

Xiao Wu's soul: You hurt my ge? *goes berserk*

Tang San and Xiao Wu step aside. Yang Wu Di's romance with the Fragrant Silk Woven flower has taken the top spot for epic romance.

Love the steampunk vibe for Gengxin town!! All the parachutes and zeppelins!!

I said it before and I'll say it again, our boy Tang San really is out here collecting all the (extraordinarily op!) grandpas lol

QIAN RENXUE!!! When (s)he said she'll give Tang San a fair fight because of the respect she has for him (I'm paraphrasing, don't come at me) 💯👏👌 yes give him more chances to destroy the entirety of Martial Soul Hall 😂

Xiao Wu is Tang San's trump card 😏 And seeing Xiao Wu go absolute Terror™ on anyone who hurt Tang San makes me all warm and fuzzy inside 😘😘

Operation: Break the Emperor out of his own Imperial Palace is a go! I adoreee this entire sequence of events!!!

Oohh hello there, long time no see! ❤️❤️🤩🤩 (yes, i have my favorites shuddup)

[burningsoprettily]

Usually people say ily, but their language is

Du Gu Bo: I'm part of Tang Clan too. Just take care of my food and living expenses and call me whenever there's a fight.

Tang San: I'll take care of your retirement without a problem

Look how happy he is. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the most feared Fenghao Douluo in the continent.

The Crown Prince of Xing Lou literally drove his own carriage lmaoo

ENGAGEMENT TIME!!!! 💍❤️

Shrek Seven Devils vs Chen Xin, fight! ⚔️

Kick their asses, Chen Xin!! 😍😘❤️🤩

*ahem* I mean, cheers for Shrek? 👀👏

I'm liking Xue Beng more and more. He apologised for his past misdeeds and has become our boi's first disciple! Yay!!

Dai Mu Bai, aka Human Pillow for his team

To Haishen Island we goooo!

When a fish gives a better boss fight than you *looking at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue*

Tang San with loose hair is making me go feral

Lmao poor Xue Beng. Tang San got a new disciple and he already taught him more than he ever did his first disciple 😂

The Purple Pearl Pirates' captain is badass just for telling Tang San that she won't give Xiao Wu back to him 😂

Logs of the Seven Devils and Bai Chen Xiang, during their time in Haishen Island:

Ma Hong Jun: We got bullied by turtles and fishes

Chen Xiang: I defeated a tiny jellyfish

Oscar: We climbed some steps

Rong Rong: We became powered up

Mu Bai: We saw a god

Zhu Qing: We met Bo Saixi

Xiao Wu: I bit ge as punishment

Tang San: I became an egg

Everyone, when Tang San hatched from the egg: 🤔

Everyone, when they saw him without his luscious locks:

Xiao Wu is such a Boss™ for completing the first test by kicking Tang San up the last few steps! 😂😂💯💯

Lucius Malfoy, that you?

Somehow, I find Bibi Dong to be more intriguing than Qian Renxue. I don't particularly care for Qian Renxue's angel trials. But Bibi Dong's past was heartbreaking. That absolute bastard Qian Xunji! She was his disciple!!! How dare he assault her!! Good on you for devouring his body and soul, Bibi Dong! #queen

[burningsoprettily]

Losing to a shark on dry land is shameful😏

Seeing how sweet Bibi Dong was when she was younger during the Yelin city flashback 🥺

I like Hu Liena and sort-of good with her brother, Xie Yue. But that lava boy though... Ugh, he's yucky and a creep😑

Look, I get that Bibi Dong is evil and everything BUT she started on this path because of the Grade A asshole, Qian Xunji. And despite everything, look how far she's come. She's OP!! And it's fully because of her (at worst evil, and at best morally grey) efforts!! I dunno, I just really like her as a character and how complex and multi-faceted she is.

Ma Hong Jun had a better appearance before his 'slimming'. I don't like this new design 😑

Throughout the Haishen Island arc:

The Shrek Team: We need to go back to the continent as soon as possible

The people in the continent: I wish they come back soon 🙁

Haima Douluo is a good guy, he didn't even get mad at Oscar and Tang San tricking him into depleting his power and taking advantage #good_bro

What Sea Fantasy Douluo thought: I'll bring up their deepest fears and regrets and it'll be enough 😁👍

What he got:

Everytime, ALWAYS, I'm surprised at the sheer audacity of this guy to say to Tang San's FACE that he was too weak to protect Xiao Wu, which is true BUT OMFG DUDE DID YOU NOT SEE HIM RIP PEOPLE APART JUST A FEW MINS BEFORE???? LITERALLY??? DO YOU WANT TO DIE???? CAN YOU NOT SEE HIS SANITY DROWNING IN THE OCEAN BEHIND???

Let's count it out

1. Made Tang San and Xiao Wu relive their worst, and I mean, THE WORST, day of their lives

2. Made Tang San lose his damn mind. Sanity goes byeeeee

3. Taunt the insane Tang San that he was useless in the past and too weak.

4. TARGET XIAO WU

Tang San, after Xiao Wu pushed his sense back into his head: Ah, Senior was provoking me intentionally 😮

Sea Fantasy Douluo: you're powerful but what an emotional, bad-tempered brat 😑

pfft

Me, looking at Bo Sai Xi, very, very respectfully: you can step on me anytime, ma'am😳

[burningsoprettily]

That entrance though 🤩 so dramatic! So cool!

QIN MING 😭😭😭😭 DAMN YOU GHOST BASTARD😡😡

Hu Liena: Let's clear things between us once and for all, Tang San

Tang San: *saves her life, again*

Hu Liena: shit

Tang Chen!! Hi handsome! Go say hi to your girlfriend, dude!!

Qin Ming, you've been avenged 😔

I called it, Yue Guan x Gui Mei! But oop, the latter is dead (well deserved 😤). Poor Yue Guan, just wait, your turn will come soon enough 😂

Da Ming 😞 Er Ming 😞

Xiao Wu is back!! Revival is a success!!

Xiao Wu fooling enemies into thinking she's a weak girl will never not be funny to me lmaooo

Ah Yin is back!! Revival is a success TWICE!! Power couple Tang Hao x Ah Yin is back together!!

I adore when siblings go through the enemies-to-friends arc!!

Ugh these Hao Tian elders, wow, how annoying. As if they are all sparkling clean, pfft. Tell them Tang San! And that Seventh Elder, you would think he learnt from past experience, but alas no🤣

[burningsoprettily]

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁

[burningsoprettily]

Not me watching the final match between Shrek and Martial Soul Hall's golden generation with bated breath 😭😭

More than that final match, the award ceremony was even more heart-stopping!! 💀💀💀

WE HAVE A LOVE CONFESSION EVERYONE!!! RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE TOO!! IN FRONT OF THE VERY FOLKS WHO WANT TO KILL THEM!!! 🤣🤣

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

[burningsoprettily]

A HUG!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

TANG SAN'S FACE 🥺🥺🥺

Tang Hao - you're forgiven 😤

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

[burningsoprettily]

Even the Slaughter King agrees Tang Hao is the most terrifying one out of the two (the other being Bibi Dong) 😏😏

Hu Liena why are you falling for a pretty face?? 😩 I expected better of you😔

Down, girl 😂

I like Bibi Dong as an antagonist. She is unapologetically ruthless and doesn't care about removing anyone against her. Then, there's the other side of her which cares very, very selectively about a very limited number of people. Ofc I hate her when she's gunning for my favs, but she's very cool 👍💯

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua reunion!! LMAO don't be too shocked Tang San! It's your aunt, not some other love interest of your dad 🤣🤣

Tang San finally meeting his dad's requirements and getting to know his parents' past 🥺🥺

Also, let's be real, younger Tang Hao was an absolute snack. And the way he handled the Martial Soul Hall dudes while being out of his mind with Ah Yin's loss - what strength! How badass! What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

[burningsoprettily]

Da Ming: Xiao Wu jie, tell us about your experiences in the human world.

Xiao Wu: *gives soliloquy about Tang San*

Da Ming: 👀

Er Ming: 👀

Hao Tian arc!!! Let's gooooo!!!

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: CALL ME UNCLE😡😡😡😡😡

Tang San: Uncle 🥺🥰

I like how they mentioned that Hao Tian tribe, just because they were in hiding, didn't stay stagnant. They have multiple FHDs now and are probably capable of being a major problem for Martial Soul Hall. 🔥🔥

Hao Tian elders be like: hehe you just have to do 3 tasks 🙂 oh and bring back the moon too 😊

SHREK REUNION!!!!!! 🥁🥁

I love how the first thing they do on seeing Tang San is to prank him LMAOOO #friendship_goals

Martial Soul Hall attacking all the tribes at the same time is so underhanded, but tactically that's brilliant. 👌

Good thing Chen Xin survived or I would have rioted 😑

Meme-worthy shot 😂

Look at these two flirting while running for their lives 😏

When I watched the events unfold, the first time round: so cool! so exciting!!🤩🤩

Me, on my nth rewatch, knowing what's going to happen soon: this is so stressful that I'm getting indigestion 😭😭😭

THAT BLOODY SPIDER!!! 😡😡😡😡 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT STUPID EIGHT-LEGGED WASTE OF SPACE, THEY COULD HAVE... 😭😭😭😭

That fight against Wu Hun Tian, an almost exact replica of Tang Hao's fight, the desperation, the fear, the helplessness, the unmatched fury - hells, that's so damn raw 😓

The parallels 😭

Excuse me as I sob for a million years over the ep 134💔

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San on his way to become Iron Man😂

Du Gu Bo and Tang San meet again!!! 😍

I always thought Xue Qing He was creepy. Good to finally see the proof. This is why you should always trust your instincts, kids 😌

Xue Beng's layers are finally shown, else we would have continued thinking he's a brat. Good on him for trying to survive his crazy ass brother👏

Yay!!! Oscar's back!!! Also, that's not even a scar and he's all, OH NO I'M UGLY AS HELL AND RONG RONG WON'T ACCEPT ME BOOHOO. Shut tf up, dude. It's barely noticeable. 🙄🙄🙄

Tang Clan creation, let's gooooo!!!! 😍😍

The two friends tag-teaming their third friend into joining Tang Clan *chef's kiss*

Tang San using Xiao Wu's skill and Xiao Wu's skill automatically activating when Tang San's in a tight spot ❤️❤️😭😭😭

Never tell a rabbit not to eat a plant 😂😂

Yang Wu Di: *stabs Tang San during battle*

Ma Hong Jun, Tang San: I'm sorry, but you're so dead

Xiao Wu's soul: You hurt my ge? *goes berserk*

Tang San and Xiao Wu step aside. Yang Wu Di's romance with the Fragrant Silk Woven flower has taken the top spot for epic romance.

Love the steampunk vibe for Gengxin town!! All the parachutes and zeppelins!!

I said it before and I'll say it again, our boy Tang San really is out here collecting all the (extraordinarily op!) grandpas lol

QIAN RENXUE!!! When (s)he said she'll give Tang San a fair fight because of the respect she has for him (I'm paraphrasing, don't come at me) 💯👏👌 yes give him more chances to destroy the entirety of Martial Soul Hall 😂

Xiao Wu is Tang San's trump card 😏 And seeing Xiao Wu go absolute Terror™ on anyone who hurt Tang San makes me all warm and fuzzy inside 😘😘

Operation: Break the Emperor out of his own Imperial Palace is a go! I adoreee this entire sequence of events!!!

Oohh hello there, long time no see! ❤️❤️🤩🤩 (yes, i have my favorites shuddup)

[burningsoprettily]

Usually people say ily, but their language is

Du Gu Bo: I'm part of Tang Clan too. Just take care of my food and living expenses and call me whenever there's a fight.

Tang San: I'll take care of your retirement without a problem

Look how happy he is. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the most feared Fenghao Douluo in the continent.

The Crown Prince of Xing Lou literally drove his own carriage lmaoo

ENGAGEMENT TIME!!!! 💍❤️

Shrek Seven Devils vs Chen Xin, fight! ⚔️

Kick their asses, Chen Xin!! 😍😘❤️🤩

*ahem* I mean, cheers for Shrek? 👀👏

I'm liking Xue Beng more and more. He apologised for his past misdeeds and has become our boi's first disciple! Yay!!

Dai Mu Bai, aka Human Pillow for his team

To Haishen Island we goooo!

When a fish gives a better boss fight than you *looking at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue*

Tang San with loose hair is making me go feral

Lmao poor Xue Beng. Tang San got a new disciple and he already taught him more than he ever did his first disciple 😂

The Purple Pearl Pirates' captain is badass just for telling Tang San that she won't give Xiao Wu back to him 😂

Logs of the Seven Devils and Bai Chen Xiang, during their time in Haishen Island:

Ma Hong Jun: We got bullied by turtles and fishes

Chen Xiang: I defeated a tiny jellyfish

Oscar: We climbed some steps

Rong Rong: We became powered up

Mu Bai: We saw a god

Zhu Qing: We met Bo Saixi

Xiao Wu: I bit ge as punishment

Tang San: I became an egg

Everyone, when Tang San hatched from the egg: 🤔

Everyone, when they saw him without his luscious locks:

Xiao Wu is such a Boss™ for completing the first test by kicking Tang San up the last few steps! 😂😂💯💯

Lucius Malfoy, that you?

Somehow, I find Bibi Dong to be more intriguing than Qian Renxue. I don't particularly care for Qian Renxue's angel trials. But Bibi Dong's past was heartbreaking. That absolute bastard Qian Xunji! She was his disciple!!! How dare he assault her!! Good on you for devouring his body and soul, Bibi Dong! #queen

[burningsoprettily]

Losing to a shark on dry land is shameful😏

Seeing how sweet Bibi Dong was when she was younger during the Yelin city flashback 🥺

I like Hu Liena and sort-of good with her brother, Xie Yue. But that lava boy though... Ugh, he's yucky and a creep😑

Look, I get that Bibi Dong is evil and everything BUT she started on this path because of the Grade A asshole, Qian Xunji. And despite everything, look how far she's come. She's OP!! And it's fully because of her (at worst evil, and at best morally grey) efforts!! I dunno, I just really like her as a character and how complex and multi-faceted she is.

Ma Hong Jun had a better appearance before his 'slimming'. I don't like this new design 😑

Throughout the Haishen Island arc:

The Shrek Team: We need to go back to the continent as soon as possible

The people in the continent: I wish they come back soon 🙁

Haima Douluo is a good guy, he didn't even get mad at Oscar and Tang San tricking him into depleting his power and taking advantage #good_bro

What Sea Fantasy Douluo thought: I'll bring up their deepest fears and regrets and it'll be enough 😁👍

What he got:

Everytime, ALWAYS, I'm surprised at the sheer audacity of this guy to say to Tang San's FACE that he was too weak to protect Xiao Wu, which is true BUT OMFG DUDE DID YOU NOT SEE HIM RIP PEOPLE APART JUST A FEW MINS BEFORE???? LITERALLY??? DO YOU WANT TO DIE???? CAN YOU NOT SEE HIS SANITY DROWNING IN THE OCEAN BEHIND???

Let's count it out

1. Made Tang San and Xiao Wu relive their worst, and I mean, THE WORST, day of their lives

2. Made Tang San lose his damn mind. Sanity goes byeeeee

3. Taunt the insane Tang San that he was useless in the past and too weak.

4. TARGET XIAO WU

Tang San, after Xiao Wu pushed his sense back into his head: Ah, Senior was provoking me intentionally 😮

Sea Fantasy Douluo: you're powerful but what an emotional, bad-tempered brat 😑

pfft

Me, looking at Bo Sai Xi, very, very respectfully: you can step on me anytime, ma'am😳

[burningsoprettily]

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua reunion!! LMAO don't be too shocked Tang San! It's your aunt, not some other love interest of your dad 🤣🤣

Tang San finally meeting his dad's requirements and getting to know his parents' past 🥺🥺

Also, let's be real, younger Tang Hao was an absolute snack. And the way he handled the Martial Soul Hall dudes while being out of his mind with Ah Yin's loss - what strength! How badass! What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

[burningsoprettily]

Da Ming: Xiao Wu jie, tell us about your experiences in the human world.

Xiao Wu: *gives soliloquy about Tang San*

Da Ming: 👀

Er Ming: 👀

Hao Tian arc!!! Let's gooooo!!!

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: CALL ME UNCLE😡😡😡😡😡

Tang San: Uncle 🥺🥰

I like how they mentioned that Hao Tian tribe, just because they were in hiding, didn't stay stagnant. They have multiple FHDs now and are probably capable of being a major problem for Martial Soul Hall. 🔥🔥

Hao Tian elders be like: hehe you just have to do 3 tasks 🙂 oh and bring back the moon too 😊

SHREK REUNION!!!!!! 🥁🥁

I love how the first thing they do on seeing Tang San is to prank him LMAOOO #friendship_goals

Martial Soul Hall attacking all the tribes at the same time is so underhanded, but tactically that's brilliant. 👌

Good thing Chen Xin survived or I would have rioted 😑

Meme-worthy shot 😂

Look at these two flirting while running for their lives 😏

When I watched the events unfold, the first time round: so cool! so exciting!!🤩🤩

Me, on my nth rewatch, knowing what's going to happen soon: this is so stressful that I'm getting indigestion 😭😭😭

THAT BLOODY SPIDER!!! 😡😡😡😡 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT STUPID EIGHT-LEGGED WASTE OF SPACE, THEY COULD HAVE... 😭😭😭😭

That fight against Wu Hun Tian, an almost exact replica of Tang Hao's fight, the desperation, the fear, the helplessness, the unmatched fury - hells, that's so damn raw 😓

The parallels 😭

Excuse me as I sob for a million years over the ep 134💔

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San on his way to become Iron Man😂

Du Gu Bo and Tang San meet again!!! 😍

I always thought Xue Qing He was creepy. Good to finally see the proof. This is why you should always trust your instincts, kids 😌

Xue Beng's layers are finally shown, else we would have continued thinking he's a brat. Good on him for trying to survive his crazy ass brother👏

Yay!!! Oscar's back!!! Also, that's not even a scar and he's all, OH NO I'M UGLY AS HELL AND RONG RONG WON'T ACCEPT ME BOOHOO. Shut tf up, dude. It's barely noticeable. 🙄🙄🙄

Tang Clan creation, let's gooooo!!!! 😍😍

The two friends tag-teaming their third friend into joining Tang Clan *chef's kiss*

Tang San using Xiao Wu's skill and Xiao Wu's skill automatically activating when Tang San's in a tight spot ❤️❤️😭😭😭

Never tell a rabbit not to eat a plant 😂😂

Yang Wu Di: *stabs Tang San during battle*

Ma Hong Jun, Tang San: I'm sorry, but you're so dead

Xiao Wu's soul: You hurt my ge? *goes berserk*

Tang San and Xiao Wu step aside. Yang Wu Di's romance with the Fragrant Silk Woven flower has taken the top spot for epic romance.

Love the steampunk vibe for Gengxin town!! All the parachutes and zeppelins!!

I said it before and I'll say it again, our boy Tang San really is out here collecting all the (extraordinarily op!) grandpas lol

QIAN RENXUE!!! When (s)he said she'll give Tang San a fair fight because of the respect she has for him (I'm paraphrasing, don't come at me) 💯👏👌 yes give him more chances to destroy the entirety of Martial Soul Hall 😂

Xiao Wu is Tang San's trump card 😏 And seeing Xiao Wu go absolute Terror™ on anyone who hurt Tang San makes me all warm and fuzzy inside 😘😘

Operation: Break the Emperor out of his own Imperial Palace is a go! I adoreee this entire sequence of events!!!

Oohh hello there, long time no see! ❤️❤️🤩🤩 (yes, i have my favorites shuddup)

[burningsoprettily]

Usually people say ily, but their language is

Du Gu Bo: I'm part of Tang Clan too. Just take care of my food and living expenses and call me whenever there's a fight.

Tang San: I'll take care of your retirement without a problem

Look how happy he is. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the most feared Fenghao Douluo in the continent.

The Crown Prince of Xing Lou literally drove his own carriage lmaoo

ENGAGEMENT TIME!!!! 💍❤️

Shrek Seven Devils vs Chen Xin, fight! ⚔️

Kick their asses, Chen Xin!! 😍😘❤️🤩

*ahem* I mean, cheers for Shrek? 👀👏

I'm liking Xue Beng more and more. He apologised for his past misdeeds and has become our boi's first disciple! Yay!!

Dai Mu Bai, aka Human Pillow for his team

To Haishen Island we goooo!

When a fish gives a better boss fight than you *looking at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue*

Tang San with loose hair is making me go feral

Lmao poor Xue Beng. Tang San got a new disciple and he already taught him more than he ever did his first disciple 😂

The Purple Pearl Pirates' captain is badass just for telling Tang San that she won't give Xiao Wu back to him 😂

Logs of the Seven Devils and Bai Chen Xiang, during their time in Haishen Island:

Ma Hong Jun: We got bullied by turtles and fishes

Chen Xiang: I defeated a tiny jellyfish

Oscar: We climbed some steps

Rong Rong: We became powered up

Mu Bai: We saw a god

Zhu Qing: We met Bo Saixi

Xiao Wu: I bit ge as punishment

Tang San: I became an egg

Everyone, when Tang San hatched from the egg: 🤔

Everyone, when they saw him without his luscious locks:

Xiao Wu is such a Boss™ for completing the first test by kicking Tang San up the last few steps! 😂😂💯💯

Lucius Malfoy, that you?

Somehow, I find Bibi Dong to be more intriguing than Qian Renxue. I don't particularly care for Qian Renxue's angel trials. But Bibi Dong's past was heartbreaking. That absolute bastard Qian Xunji! She was his disciple!!! How dare he assault her!! Good on you for devouring his body and soul, Bibi Dong! #queen

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁

[burningsoprettily]

Not me watching the final match between Shrek and Martial Soul Hall's golden generation with bated breath 😭😭

More than that final match, the award ceremony was even more heart-stopping!! 💀💀💀

WE HAVE A LOVE CONFESSION EVERYONE!!! RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE TOO!! IN FRONT OF THE VERY FOLKS WHO WANT TO KILL THEM!!! 🤣🤣

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

[burningsoprettily]

A HUG!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

TANG SAN'S FACE 🥺🥺🥺

Tang Hao - you're forgiven 😤

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

[burningsoprettily]

Even the Slaughter King agrees Tang Hao is the most terrifying one out of the two (the other being Bibi Dong) 😏😏

Hu Liena why are you falling for a pretty face?? 😩 I expected better of you😔

Down, girl 😂

I like Bibi Dong as an antagonist. She is unapologetically ruthless and doesn't care about removing anyone against her. Then, there's the other side of her which cares very, very selectively about a very limited number of people. Ofc I hate her when she's gunning for my favs, but she's very cool 👍💯

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua reunion!! LMAO don't be too shocked Tang San! It's your aunt, not some other love interest of your dad 🤣🤣

Tang San finally meeting his dad's requirements and getting to know his parents' past 🥺🥺

Also, let's be real, younger Tang Hao was an absolute snack. And the way he handled the Martial Soul Hall dudes while being out of his mind with Ah Yin's loss - what strength! How badass! What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁

[burningsoprettily]

Not me watching the final match between Shrek and Martial Soul Hall's golden generation with bated breath 😭😭

More than that final match, the award ceremony was even more heart-stopping!! 💀💀💀

WE HAVE A LOVE CONFESSION EVERYONE!!! RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE TOO!! IN FRONT OF THE VERY FOLKS WHO WANT TO KILL THEM!!! 🤣🤣

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

[burningsoprettily]

A HUG!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

TANG SAN'S FACE 🥺🥺🥺

Tang Hao - you're forgiven 😤

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

[burningsoprettily]

Even the Slaughter King agrees Tang Hao is the most terrifying one out of the two (the other being Bibi Dong) 😏😏

Hu Liena why are you falling for a pretty face?? 😩 I expected better of you😔

Down, girl 😂

I like Bibi Dong as an antagonist. She is unapologetically ruthless and doesn't care about removing anyone against her. Then, there's the other side of her which cares very, very selectively about a very limited number of people. Ofc I hate her when she's gunning for my favs, but she's very cool 👍💯

Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua reunion!! LMAO don't be too shocked Tang San! It's your aunt, not some other love interest of your dad 🤣🤣

Tang San finally meeting his dad's requirements and getting to know his parents' past 🥺🥺

Also, let's be real, younger Tang Hao was an absolute snack. And the way he handled the Martial Soul Hall dudes while being out of his mind with Ah Yin's loss - what strength! How badass! What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

[burningsoprettily]

Da Ming: Xiao Wu jie, tell us about your experiences in the human world.

Xiao Wu: *gives soliloquy about Tang San*

Da Ming: 👀

Er Ming: 👀

Hao Tian arc!!! Let's gooooo!!!

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: 😑

Tang San: Tribe Chief 🙁🙁🙁

Tang Xiao: CALL ME UNCLE😡😡😡😡😡

Tang San: Uncle 🥺🥰

I like how they mentioned that Hao Tian tribe, just because they were in hiding, didn't stay stagnant. They have multiple FHDs now and are probably capable of being a major problem for Martial Soul Hall. 🔥🔥

Hao Tian elders be like: hehe you just have to do 3 tasks 🙂 oh and bring back the moon too 😊

SHREK REUNION!!!!!! 🥁🥁

I love how the first thing they do on seeing Tang San is to prank him LMAOOO #friendship_goals

Martial Soul Hall attacking all the tribes at the same time is so underhanded, but tactically that's brilliant. 👌

Good thing Chen Xin survived or I would have rioted 😑

Meme-worthy shot 😂

Look at these two flirting while running for their lives 😏

When I watched the events unfold, the first time round: so cool! so exciting!!🤩🤩

Me, on my nth rewatch, knowing what's going to happen soon: this is so stressful that I'm getting indigestion 😭😭😭

THAT BLOODY SPIDER!!! 😡😡😡😡 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT STUPID EIGHT-LEGGED WASTE OF SPACE, THEY COULD HAVE... 😭😭😭😭

That fight against Wu Hun Tian, an almost exact replica of Tang Hao's fight, the desperation, the fear, the helplessness, the unmatched fury - hells, that's so damn raw 😓

The parallels 😭

Excuse me as I sob for a million years over the ep 134💔

[burningsoprettily]

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

What an absolute icon! He just blasted his rings and used them to blast his enemies to kingdom come. We stan! 😘😍👌💯

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁

[burningsoprettily]

Not me watching the final match between Shrek and Martial Soul Hall's golden generation with bated breath 😭😭

More than that final match, the award ceremony was even more heart-stopping!! 💀💀💀

WE HAVE A LOVE CONFESSION EVERYONE!!! RIGHT BEFORE THEY DIE TOO!! IN FRONT OF THE VERY FOLKS WHO WANT TO KILL THEM!!! 🤣🤣

Xiao Wu trying to self-sacrifice - I'm not lying when I say I sobbed like a baby 😭😭💔💔 One would think this is the first time I'm watching these episodes lmaooo

TANG HAO ENTRY - BADASS, TOPNOTCH, ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!! COOL FACTOR IS AT A 100😎😎 BG MUSIC MULTIPLIES IT BY ANOTHER 100!!!

And only Soul Land fam would understand the waiting for the 108th episode - the intro OST (Break the Cocoon) !!! It always pumps me up!!! Angela Zhang, you absolute angel.

[burningsoprettily]

A HUG!!! FINALLYYYY!!!

TANG SAN'S FACE 🥺🥺🥺

Tang Hao - you're forgiven 😤

I have to admit, Tang Hao is a good dad when he puts his mind to it. He tries his best to protect his son and also trains his son so that he can protect himself and his love.

Ning Rong Rong and Oscar's relationship is something I was rooting for, for a long time. Glad that she finally confessed both her feelings and the truth about the tribe rules. The rules make sense considering the low defense and offense capability of the Support Branch. Also, now I'm wondering who Rong Rong's mother was and how badass she could have been 🤔

When Tang San becomes the Blue Silver Emperor - GLOW UP TIME!!!

Good on you for emotionally blackmailing your dad, Tang San!!! How dare he ignore his body's condition and just brush away your concern after collapsing like a banana plant in a strong gust of wind!!! 😡😡 That bastard needs a kick in the face but this will do 🤣🤣🤣

Their father-son moments are really cute though 😍😍

(Yes, yes I know I vacillate between 😡 and 😍 for Tang Hao, consider it a quirk lol I just have too many feelings about him)

INTO THE SLAUGHTER CITY WE GOOOOO~~~

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San's first life makes me very angry.

You lost all that loyalty and talent and for what? Stupid interclan politics? Pfft. Morons.

Also, excuse me as I lose my head over how handsome beyond compare our Tang San is!! Ah, so gorgeous!!

[burningsoprettily]

Knowing his full story arc, Tang Hao's both the worst and best father.

But even then, dude, how the fuck are you this bad at showing your feelings to your son???

Tang Hao's hot though

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, when Master said he has Twin Martial Souls: Should I just kill him?

Tang San when Master explained how he came to that conclusion: I want him as my lifelong teacher. I'm going to start the Master Appreciation Club and I'll be the president, vice president, and treasurer.

The other members of the Golden Triangle, from across the country: HEY! That's our job!

[burningsoprettily]

Tang Hao being an overprotective father gives me joy. Him thinking he'll only be holding back Tang San gives me sorrow.

Also, Xiao Wu gently bullying Tang San gives me life LOL. Like, yeah, Tang San, move your beds together and shaaaree the comforter LMAO

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime I watch the intial eps, I'm overcome with the sizzling chemistry between Tang San and Dai Mu Bai. I shipped them so hard the first time I watched Soul Land haha.

[burningsoprettily]

When Dean Flander is initially introduced, we be like: wow, he's a terrifying guy! So powerful! So strict!

After a few episodes: Strict?? He's a comedian omg

[burningsoprettily]

Everytime Tang San loses his shit: 😍💯💯💪😘

When Tang Hao gives Zhao Wuji a smackdown for bullying his son: BAMF protective hot father daddy 🔥🔥😍😍😘😘👌👌💯💯

[burningsoprettily]

Chicken =/= Phoenix

[burningsoprettily]

I love the Seven Devils and their journey to grow stronger and support each other. Ning Rong Rong's character growth in the intial stages was splendid - a proud and arrogant girl from a top clan realising her pride and arrogance won't be useful and deciding to stay, put in the effort and work with the rest of the team - - 👏👏

[burningsoprettily]

Xing Dou forest arc hits different during a rewatch. Xiao Wu's pain about the hunting of soul beasts, how she winces when the serpent was killed for the soul ring... :(

And of course we have Tang San whooping someone's butt, and going apeshit on the Titan Ape for daring to take his meimei

My personal favorite is when Zhao Wuji tries to make a last stand to give his students time to run, and one by one his students decide to stay and fight together

*chef's kiss*

[burningsoprettily]

If some kid and their grandparents keep trying (and failing) to hunt soul beasts and only succeed in wounding + enraging the soul beast which in turn leads to the beasties hunting me and my team, and us defeating the beast, AND THEN IF THAT SET OF CLOWNS COME AND SAY NO THAT BEAST IS OURS, well, I wouldn't exactly be pleased either -_-

Kudos to Tang San for not insulting them to their faces.

[burningsoprettily]

This scene gave me the chills

Zhao Wuji almost faced Tang San's Haotian Hammer. Human Faced Demon Spider did face it and got smooshed LOL.

[burningsoprettily]

Younger Tang Hao's fight against Wu Hun Tian - always awesome.

On the other hand, imagine having an actual angel as your Martial Soul and being a Grade A asshat

[burningsoprettily]

Ah Yin dying/sacrificing herself is heartbreaking. Poor Tang Hao :(

The Chrysanthemum Feng Hao Douluo (FHD) and the Ghost FHD are definitely a couple

Xiao Wu sucks at lying

Ma Hong Jun is the most imaginative. Case in point:

[burningsoprettily]

Ahh I love it when the teacher acts more like a parent! Tang San definitely needs more adults in his life who care for him.

The almost kiss!!! Lmao, Oscar and Rong Rong's timing is on point.

[burningsoprettily]

The pervert Bu Le's smackdown = uber satisfying, no matter how many times I watch it.

Tang San: We shouldn't do this (to Bu Le).

Everyone: *thinks Tang San is being soft-hearted*

Tang San, an actual vicious gremlin: Let's publicly humiliate him :)

[burningsoprettily]

Seeing each character being introduced only makes me want to watch the future episodes already. But I also want to savor each episode. What a dilemma lolol

Poor Yu Tian Heng - he got snubbed by his own uncle. But then, he didn't know that Yu Xiao Gang would probably sell his own soul for Tang San 😂

And the interactions between the Shrek teachers (the Dean, Zhao Wuji and Master) is so enjoyable to watch 🥰

[burningsoprettily]

Du Gu Bo - What a boss! What charisma! Such a badass entry! 💯💯🔥🔥

Best boi Qin Ming 🔥😍😘

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San, on being captured by Du Gu Bo: Am I going to die at the hands of this useless guy who can't even make a poison worth a penny? How shameful.

Also, Tang San, at the face of imminent death: *proceeds to verbally eviscerate Du Gu Bo*

Du Gu Bo: Looks like I got a new grandson :)

[burningsoprettily]

Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!

Tang San, eating 2 extremely poisonous flowers one after the other as though he's munching on pringles: mm yummy

It's hilarious how everyone in the know lives in low-key terror of what THAT GUY will do if something happens to Tang San 🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

My guy out here collecting all the (grand)fathers like he's collecting pokemon lmao

It's interesting and heartwarming to see how Tang San has loosened up around Du Gu Bo and actually acts his age when compared to how serious he was as a child. He was even cheeky towards his teacher, after being with Du Gu Bo. ❤️😭

Reunions, hell yeah!!

[burningsoprettily]

Oh, oh no, kiddo, if only you knew the level of beatdown your dad gave Zhao Wuji for injuring you 🥺🥺

Ugh it kills me everytime Tang San remembers and yearns for his dad. TANG HAO GET YOUR ASS BACK TO YOUR SON!!!

Side note - it's hilarious how Tai Long's dad and granddad comes to fight Tang San in a row pffftt

Like, folks, did you not ask what actually started the entire thing? It was Tai Long's idiocy in saying no one should sit next to Xiao Wu (against her wishes) and provoking Tang San into a fight. Why are the previous generations butting into it? Even if Tang San is op, what the older dudes are doing is bullying a child. 🙄

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *realises his hammer is actually unique to the Hao Tian tribe*

Me: ahhh 😕

Tang San: *asking Titan to tell him about his own father*

Me: AAHHH 🥹

Tang San: *taking out his father's last letter that he has painstakingly stored in his belt all this time:

Me: AAAAHHHHHH😭😭😭

TANG HAO YOU BASTARD LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CHILD YOU GAVE HIM TRAUMA AND ABANDONMENT ISSUES YOU CRAZY FUCKER

[burningsoprettily]

When Master (Yu Xiao Gang) comes back and actually ✨communicates✨ - 💯💯💯

Tang San when he finally came to know how his dad went into overprotective papabear mode and gave Zhao Wuji a thorough 'lesson':

LOOK AT HIS FACE!! WHAT A PRECIOUS BABY BOI! HE'S SO PLEASED AND GIDDY INSIDE😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[burningsoprettily]

I find the drama between Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Er Long absolutely funny. Like, I think it's supposed to be angsty atleast the way this guy tortures himself over it. But, my dude, you guys are only a lil bit related, and you didn't exactly fall in love and marry each other knowing you were cousins.

Compared to the tragedy of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, this is small fry and it's frustrating that Yu Xiao Gang is just being dense and not acknowledging his relatively good luck - she's only his cousin! Not a soul beast turned human!

[burningsoprettily]

I adore Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. Their mysterious relation is quite low key in the beginning, but whatever tidbit is dropped is so delicious that I can't help rooting for them. ✨👌

Also Mu Bai messing up and getting roasted by Zhu Qing is just 🥰🥰🤣🤣

[burningsoprettily]

This is such a good reaction meme 😂 I'll save it for using it later (you know when😉)

[burningsoprettily]

I have trauma from this kind of plotpoints 😑

Ughh why are these two soo cute!!!?? My teeth are rotting from how fluffy they are 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Frander: *gives the future champions garbage uniform* 😍💪🏆

Everyone: *looks to Master for help* 🥺😭

Master: uh... Consider this an ordeal for your mind. 😅💀

Oh look, a cameo from the only adult who called out Tang Hao on his shitty parenting, Grandpa Jack!

[burningsoprettily]

Tai Long, what the hell are you doing? 🤣🤣🤣

Hello there, papa bear. Ready to say hi to your estranged son?

[burningsoprettily]

Yes, you did! So much!

TANG HAOOOOOOO HUG YOUR SON AND TELL HIM THAT HE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY😭😭😭

Ahhh Tang San's sad kitten moments are breaking my heartttt 😭😭

[burningsoprettily]

Get yourself a teacher who's willing to cover up a murder for you

#1 Teacher award goes to.... Master Yu Xiao Gang!

Another sad kitten moment when his dad is mentioned ☹️

[burningsoprettily]

And here we can see his cunning and merciless side, cultivated and honed by his first life, shine through #so_cool

Pretty bois galore👌😘

We stan a gorgeous, resourceful lady 😍

And another sad cat moment for the books 😞

[burningsoprettily]

Another teacher willing to cover up a murder/serious maiming 😂

Frander, Qin Ming and Tang San should win an oscar for the level of acting they put up in front of Salas LMAOOO

Fake sad cat pffftt:

It's been a while since Tang San has demonstrated the OG Tang Clan's ruthlessness. It was perfect for the match with Cang Hui school. Some might say Tang San's being too cruel but it's just being prudent in that world where enemies are a dime a dozen.

[burningsoprettily]

If evil why so pretty 👀

Ju Hua Guan is one of my fav characters - his character design is gorgeous, he's got flair, he's powerful and deadly. In the later episodes, his character gets more depth which made me very hooked.

[burningsoprettily]

Whenever Tang San and the team defeats others in the competition, everyone be like: hOw dArE tHeY!!!

Like, guys, what do you expect? Them to go easy on you? Them to throw the match just 'cause your pride's damaged? It's a competition, idjits, obviously they are going to aim for victory.

How dare a mere sunflower go against the king of flowers?

That Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet flower is so op!! 😍🌸

[burningsoprettily]

What I wouldn't do to actually see some girls and women wearing outfits with pants instead of these really impractical short skirts 😏

Aesthetically - pretty 🙂‍↕️

Realistically - idiotic 🙂‍↔️

And I still remember Ah Yin running for her life on stilettos. Like, kudos on your balance but maybe she would have survived if she wore nikes or something 😕

[burningsoprettily]

Ughh Feng Xiao Tian and Huo Wu are really irritating in a way. Huo Wu said she'll be in a relationship with Feng Xiao Tian if he defeats Tang San. Considering there hasn't even been a match between them yet, why's this guy being all stalkery and getting pissed at Tang San when Huo Wu is the one who kissed his cheek??

Feng Xiao Tian, you are cute and funny, however get your head on straight already 🙄🙄

And Huo Wu, how can you expect Tang San to fall for you just because he saved you from your own fireball? 🙄🙄 Sheesh you guys 😑

Pushing aside this dumbassery, we have our OTP's FIRST KISS!!!!! YAAASSSS!!!!! Thanks for the push, Huo Wu 😉

Perfect reasoning, Xiao Wu! Tang San definitely agrees too! 😂😂

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San when Xiao Wu's hurt: *bloodlust rising*

[burningsoprettily]

Are you saying you're not smart? 👀🙄😏

[burningsoprettily]

Haaaa no matter how many times I rewatch, the ambush by Chrysanthemum and Ghost FHD when the teams are traveling to Martial soul City is always nail-bitingly good 😍👌

I almost forgot how creepy Ju Hua Guan is, and he's such a diva 🤣

Lordiaara, Ju Hua Guan: *tries the bestest to kill Shrek members*

Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple: Hi, no :)

Du Gu Bo: Lol nope :D

Chen Xin, Ning Feng Zhi: Nahhh :P

Ju Hua Guan: Do you guys mind????

[burningsoprettily]

The Dai-Zhu pair deathmatch is top tier 🏆🥰

Yu Tian Heng: We'll make the Wu Hun Tian team show all their skills, so avenge us 😭

Tang San: *curbstomps his self-sacrificing miserable attitude*

Tang San: if you're being defeatist, you aren't my opponent 😤

Yu Tian Heng: 🥺🥺🥺

[burningsoprettily]

If I ever have to depend on a side, your side will always be my first choice.

If you need me, no matter how far away I am, I will always be there for you

No biggie, just two bros, bro-ing

THIS IS WHY I SHIPPED THEM SO MUCH ASDGSHFKZ

[burningsoprettily]

I absolutely ADORE how literally everyone gets traumatic flashbacks about Tang Hao whenever Tang San shows the Hao Tian Hammer

[burningsoprettily]

Tang San: *losing control and about to blow the entire auditorium to smithereens*

Tang San: *hears voice of his long lost dad that helps him control his power*

Tang San: Was that my dad?🧐 Lol, no way, it's probably my teacher.

Tang Hao: 🙁
