Genuienly one of my favourite things to do in art. And here, with dual lightsource, color balance, symbolism and your good bit of angst... augh is it FUN

I like how the water magician is like. guys relax I'm normal and everyone else (including a demon) is like "what is this freak and where did he come from?? I'm scared"

[200mgcaffeine]

no but I do like how... ryo doesn't just like, attract fey, he ACTS like a fey, and has sort of the spooky psychology of one, for all intents and purposes. my favorite thing was actually his bit with Abel over being treated to food for a week. like, to be clear, ryo saved Abel *again* from certain death, and the guy was so happy that in the heat of the moment he made a promise to do something very, very mild and inconsequential to "repay" him. this is a normal human thing -- it's a gesture, affection and a joke wrapped up together. no one actually thinks that treating someone to food is or could be a real literal repayment for getting your life saved (again!) Abel does not himself think he's made an actionable promise and legit forgets about it later. but ryo is like "ok, that sounds like a fair deal to me. I look forward to the food." he's not playing along, he means it. and THEN he 100% expects Abel to follow through on his "promise". like Abel!! be careful with your words! if you start to act like you're making a deal with the fey they will take it very seriously!

I think it would be really funny if Shen Yuan was a successful author in his first life. Like a high brow, award winning, people dissect his work in lit classes, successful writer. People think he’s reclusive and brooding in a J.D. Salinger way (he’s not, he’s just an antisocial nerd) and his books are super emotional and reflect on the human condition (an accident, SY genuinely does not realize when things are tragic, nor when they’re super homoerotic). He becomes Shang Qinghua’s literary hero, and yeah he wants to be able to write like him one day, but bad smut is what pays the bills regardless of what Peerless Cucumber has to say. So once they’ve both transmigrated, they’re arguing about his writing and SQH is like “Well if it’s so easy to write a book, why don’t you do it?!” and SY is like “I have, it’s not that hard.” (think Elle Woods talking about getting into Harvard energy) and SQH is all sarcastic “Let me guess, you were Shen Yuan in your past life? Pfft” and SY is just like “yeah, actually”. And SQH just blue screens because he cannot accept that this emotionally constipated doofus who’s read every chapter of his shitty smut book is the same guy who wrote a book that made him cry so hard he couldn’t breathe. He just turns around and walks away and then walks off the edge of Bai Zhan Peak like this.
