this part!!!!!!!

first of all, i kind of love the vaguely supernatural elements that are sprinkled in. like is this divine justice for a lightning bolt to drop a branch from her mom's tree on the head of the woman who killed her mom at the exact right moment? i like that they're playing with the murkiness of that line throughout the drama.

but second of all!!!! when he sees her pick up the knife and advance on granny!

the way he can tell in a glance how she's even more messed up than usual! she's practically in a daze or craze and clearly doesn't even register that he's there when he calls out to her. until...

you can see the moment she hears him call her name and sort of starts to come to, but the thing that snaps her out of it is him saying his legs hurt!

when he holds his arms open for her!!!!!!!!!! and she collapses into him! the way he just keeps telling her it's okay!!!

i've always thought bai lu was a good actress who's sometimes gotten stuck in less-than-flattering roles/productions, but she is nailing this performance. ye li is so complex and layered like a crazy little onion and you believe every little mental switchup she shows. when she didn't even have to turn her head or move at all and i could still tell when ye li registered that mo xiuyao was there. i am very, very impressed!

Guys, Shadow Milk is my favorite character, and I love him. BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HIM IN EPISODE 15 OF BEAST YEAST!?!? WHAT WAS HE THINKING!?!!!?! WHAT LIKE OMG. PLEASE, I DONT WANT HIM TO BE REMOVED AS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IN ALL TIME FROM ALL OF MY FANDOMS COMBINED. I...God, it killed me. I may be overreacting, but like....you can't blame me here.

I legit just want to erase the existence of episode 15, but i dont wanna at the same time. I loved the story, but it BROKE me. I am crying. Bawling.

Would Pure Vanilla try to understand Shadow Milk now? Even after all of this? Like WHAT!? Now, practically all of the beasts are dead, except him. He may go with timekeeper cookie. Im scared.

So okay. Episode 15. First of all, this was definitely the most intense episode so far. I have to laude the cinematic storytelling here, because it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout (including the fantastic use of OST)

I think the entire sequence was so well-done, especially with Ye Li and her father. When we were shown that empty paper in Ye Li's hands, I think my heart broke too. Because after ALL of her efforts, it was proof he didn't really care about her mother and her (at least not as much as Ye family), and remained a coward.

Then, well. I did NOT expect a murderous granny who was pretending to have dementia to be the one behind her mother's death. I guess it tracks with how selfish her sons are... but I digress. Poor Ye Li got another severe shock, no wonder she completely lost it.

The scene with Xiuyao desperately calling out to her.. it says so much about Ye Li that what finally snapped her out of it was Xiuyao asking her for help. That entire sequence deserves long essays dedicated to it.

But that aside, the big question is: are we Not going to address the elephant in the room? The next morning sequence was Bizarre, to say the least. Ye Li acted as if Xiuyao didn't physically stop her from sending her grandma to hell herself the night before!

I thought she would at least offer an explanation, however false, but.. it seems like maybe she does not want to lie to him anymore? especially after their fight for this very reason, so maybe she resolved to not say anything at all..?

Also what was up with the scene with Ye Li's brother and the toad? There is definitely some significance there which I am missing.

On a side note, we found out that the decree went to Consort Dowager Qin but with everything else that went on in this episode, it was virtually ignored lol. I wonder what method Ye Li will choose to extract information from the Consort Dowager next.

The messiest duo of all time but I'm so obsessed with them and the fact that, besides the most obvious names, she is one of the very few he lets himself be a little more playful and relaxed with. And he is one of the very few she is loyal to, as much loyal as Eleanor can be lmao.

Ii makes me genuinely sad that I lose this duo in the later seasons, I love them so much.
