currently obsessed with chang huasen

[lotus-queer]

Just saw three people in a row recommend Blood River as "a great action show with absolutely no romance" and honestly, what fucking show did they watch?

Bc it clearly wasn't the same one I saw.

You know, the show where the two assassins have matching rings, buy a house together, go on dates, and ride off into the sunrise together?

Also there were two or three het couples. They didn't get as happy an ending though (we are ignoring TBoY, it's a different timeline/universe, lalalala you can't make me believe it's true).

Anyway, these bitches are in love. It's a great action show AND a romance.

ohhh

[alipeeps]

This drama's dedication to putting Hao Minghao on his knees gazing up into the FL POV camera with puppy dog eyes is nothing short of inspirational...

I cackled.

They know what they are going for.

Tea pets!! 茶宠

Hello since I saw cute tea pets in the show I wanted to make a mini post about them mainly to point look how cute! And also let people know if they're unfamiliar. Disclaimer, I am not a tea master, I don't do gongfu cha 工夫茶 so this is just very general brief knowledge I know!

Chinese tea ceremony will usually throw out the first wash of the leaves for a few different reasons (there are exceptions to this depending on tea type!!). The first wash or rinse is just that it's not meant for brewing, considered cleaner, opens up the tea for better steeping and a better first taste.

No worries though! The first wash is considered perfect to pour over your tea pet(s). Tea pets or 茶宠 literally tea 茶 and to dote on, pamper, spoil etc 宠 are clay figurines that accompy a tea master during tea making. Usually unglazed so that the clay (often a special kind) changes color over time as you feed your tea pet. I know the ones in the show are colorful and to that I say it's TV not everything is real or true 🤪 but the essence is there! Why do 茶宠 exist? They're considered a type of companion as you go onto the journey, the road of cultivating tea skills symbolyzing good fortune even wisdom as they grow with you. lol i don't know humans are both vastly different and vastly the same in different eras they like cute lil figurines 😊

Tang Lici feeds his tea pets as he prepares tea hence the pouring water or tea onto them. It's hard to track his exact process since it's only done in the background and with scene cuts. Chi Yun also pours a cup out (im guessing it's the rinse of the cup step?) as Lici gives him a look™️ though I can't speak to if this is considered rude generally or if it's more familiar to feed someone else's tea pet as they make tea. Chi Yun also specfically pours over the fox figurine rather than his own 😆 which takes me to my next obersvation!

Netizens faster than me have pointed out Tang Lici's tea pet collection grows! Starting with 2 that can be considered representative of him and Chi Yun, grows to a group that represents Tang Lici's friends who he famously says he doesn't have 😆

So that's 茶宠 tea pets now people know why he pours tea/water over them. I like that it's a subtle cute indicator of Lici's growing group and hopefully 😱 they don't end up like his last group of friends or polycule or found family

All mistakes are my own hopefully no glaring ones 😖

bonus true to my word 🫡

i want that cute fox figurine

Su Changhe, Blood River Patriarch, and love of my life????

WIP Wednesday

back on my Changhe/Muyu agenda

"You nearly died," Changhe hisses, his heart beating uncontrollably, as if ready to burst out of his chest. He still remembered that night, not a single trace of his Muyu in those cold, dead eyes, in that suffocating killing intent that wrapped itself around Muyu's body.

"But I didn't," Muyu retorts, stubborn and resolute as ever. "You would never let me."

And what a terrible thing it was, for Muyu to say that, to look at him so guilelessly, to place so much unwarranted trust into Changhe's bloodstained hands.

"Muyu," Changhe says, that familiar dark possessiveness rearing its ugly head, licking at his heart. "It's your last chance to leave Dark River."

just remembered that tang lici really said "since you've chosen to be a princess" or something along those lines to zhong chunji meaning not only does he know that she's not the real princess but he also doesn't give a fuck I LOVE HIM he really said you go girl! deceive those royals and get powerful who cares

or the more likely (and boring) option that he doesn't care because he doesn't really have the time to care about something so insignificant

i was going to hit post but then i looked too long at the word blood and for a second my brain was sure that i had spelt it wrong ???

[heerims-blog]

not satisfied with the changhe x muyu fic I've written but it's still something I've written after weeks of not writing anything so I'll post it

[heerims-blog]

shui duopo talking to shao yanping being like chi yun told me not to let tang lici know meanwhile the door is wide open and they're both people tlc has been frequently visiting over the past few days like ok?

he looks so done poor guy like the last thing he needs right now is people keeping secrets from him

episode 37 ramblings

so basically chi yun has to be quarantined and if that wasn't enough the poison also makes him cranky and aggressive can they give my child a break

a divine doctor tells you to stop using your blood to save people and your next course of action is go and use more of your blood to form temporary antidotes for poison??? this is just so crazy unfair, he let go of fang zhou for the sake of the living except now he's losing them too one by one

they're funny but i can't even crack a smile like the impending doom is so close i can practically feel it in the air i don't want to say goodbye

my favourite yaoi back on screen!!! xiao hong said you two GAY (jokes aside girlie has so much patience)

his smiles when cheng yunpao and zhong chunji choose to stand with him 🥹 i miss when everything used to go his way and he had a way to fix whatever went wrong (the dramatic sleeve flip is back maybe everything will be ok after all)

i know it's unlikely but i hope he's a double agent placed by tlc to see what xifang tao is upto (if he's not i really hope he doesn't find out TLC's blood can suppress the poison because these are the type of people who would not care one bit about him and only focus on exploiting him)

GOD this pain is killing me, he can't even meet chi yun's eyes, and when he does it's so obvious that he's trying to be strong for his family, tang lici man confide in SOMEONE you can't go on like this alone

do lies of omission and tricking chi yun into stuff that he wouldn't do usually count because i can scrounge up a list

does anyone else remember how chi yun used to be the only one by his side in the past, they've watched people come and they've watched people leave but chi yun hasn't budged an inch from tlc's side and if he does he always plans on returning, there's no way he doesn't have an idea about the difficulty of his own situation and it's probably torturing him that the only way he can help is by being locked up

[abigail]

unfortunately i do think i am in fact doomed forever but at least there’s movies and music and idk probably some other things too
