hahahah..! today's crumbs are from the time of lpe and jh's cohabitation days (for real), it's pretty yummy albeit very crumbly. but most of all. there's definitely something remarkable to be said about lpe and jh's mbti test results of each other's I-E indicators being the opposite to what they've tested of themselves (the one that aligns with their popular public image too)... ie. jh is an introvert in lpe's eyes and lpe is an extrovert in jh's eyes. does it need more elaboration?? how you see yourself, how you portray yourself in a general social setting at large vs how you appear to be in more private moments when everyone else isn't watching. it has always been about being the special exception to each other.

more pedantics about this part that i really adore: jh relating more to introversion outside of the test despite being overtly thee extrovert of the group consistently working the room in professional work contexts and even identified as an extrovert by his own test, but it was lpe and his own understanding of jh that managed to reaffirm that sentiment + lpe's complete confidence in being perceived as an extrovert by jh which was also reaffirmed by jh, despite being outwardly seen as the introvert

all this feeds into my reading from the group variety show that the progression of their relationship is a matter of refinement. as they personally recounted, they hit off from day 1, and true enough, they already have an insight into the type of person each other are away from the camera over a year ago. but even with that access to their most comfortable states with each other, the way they interacted before the camera had a whiff of playful attempts to one up each other (对抗路 as the fandom puts it). and for whatever reasons, the dynamics have definitely grown to feel softer, less rough around the edges a year later when the drama aired... it's very fascinating to see. (i like to justify it this way: a year ago it was just between us, made to live together vs a year later it was us against the world, and even when we no longer have to live tgt, we made the choice over and over to interweave our personal lives tgt even outside work requirements eg. weekly gaming sessions, lpe hopping over to feed lele when jh is out of town)

lpe basically: he's an introvert with me..? is it that you just prefer being around someone else instead 🤨 IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE... 🤨 jh, comfortably Not Talking, with lpe being the one yapping around him: ❓

i’d this hc that each time swl buys a new toy for peanut, he would buy a duplicate one for lele. like he has never given up hope that he would meet his own child someday. he has rooms filled with things he’d bought for lele—literally from age 0 to 4.

to anyone else, it might’ve looked like a shrine to grief. but for swl, it’s hope. the kind that doesn't die even when logic says it should. he never says it out loud, not even to himself. but deep down, he believes that one day, lele will come home. and when he does, swl wants to be ready.

he wants lele to know he was never forgotten. that in the space between loss and longing, there has always been a place for him. a whole room filled with love, and toys, and the quiet faith of a father who never gives up on the child he lost but never stops looking for.

No pressure, just curious!

sure here are a few right from my phone gallery!

presenting another one of my favourite jiangli highlights of ep 3 i love so dearly... pei en presents his artwork which is only a single leaf (lmao)

just a few moments ago, dahai was saying he didn't know anything about pei en's work, yet ended up very naturally following up on pei en's presentation:

"... even though we arrive in this world alone, we will meet more and more friends and confidants."

the cherry on top is pei en instinctively chiming in with dahai's explanation and wrapped it up for them:

what initially felt like making up word count for a school show-and-tell project actually ended up being a perfect snapshot of their respective world views and values, how they perfectly complement each other, and how they ultimately are attuned and aligned with each other. :)

i discussed this part a little with my friend ytd. it's easy to see how dahai has provided pei en with a window into another outlook of life, that there's a dependable social support readily available for him and reminding him that there are other people there for him. though the only nuanced detail i beg to differ is that pei en's own outlook isn't necessarily pessimistic but that being alone is a condition he's used to and can absolutely live with. what makes their rapport special is that dahai had introduced him to something different, which he readily embraces. otoh like what dahai had said about himself, he's probably more concerned by the idea of being lonely than pei en is, and pei en is one of the few people who is able to walk into his world and nestles himself in. it's certainly not a mere one-way street for them.

just wanted dahai secretly holding pei en's hand behind his back after accidentally sitting on it immortalised on my blog with the quick and dirty gifmaking way
