✩ The Double ─ Episode 34 (墨雨云间)
JiangLi - Seeky & Ocean
My Summer Lover
奖励我们坠入充沛的爱意
-------
+ duke su giddy from happiness cuz he FINALLY got his girl FOR REAL and confusing the heck out of everyone else:
Top 5 risky things to hear when you arrive at a Royal Banquet in a cdrama:
1. "Oh no, something fell on your clothes! Someone, escort them to change their clothes!"
Reason: beware, you're about to be caught in a compromising position with a member of the opposite sex, by the entire nobility and royalty
My Top Five Polycules that no one asked for
(before you say but they aren't canon, they are to me so 🤷 😏)
5. Xue Fangfei, Tong'er and Jiang Li from (The Double)
these 3 just give off very strong polycule vibes to me! not to mention that they literally get revenge for each other in true lesbian fashion. if gaslight, gatekeep and girlboss was a trio it would be them.
jiang li and tong'er were childhood friends to lovers and they found xue fangfei on tinder and now here we are. if you believe in the inherent romanticm of finding love through shared hatred and mutual enemy then this one's for you.
4. Merlin, Gwaine and Arthur or mergwainethur from BBC Merlin
this is a bit more popular amongst the fandom but it's very much giving falling in love through devotion and what not followed by two guys who decided to tolerate each other because they are absolutely gone on the third guy. the former two being gwaine and arthur and the latter being merlin.
not to mention that they were literally branded as courage, strength and magic in that one episode. even the show was loud about it 👀😏!!
3. Zhu Yan,Wen Xiao, Zhuo Yi Chen and Pei Si Jing from Fangs of Fortune
i mean do i have to explain this one? look at the poster. china's first censored polycule or something. insane chemistry followed by insane devotion. they also give off mlm and wlw solidarity to me. pei sijing definitely just tolerates the men for the sake of wen xiao but wen xiao, yi chen and pei sijing are definitely pulling zhu man's leg whenever they can. not to mention that these people canonically raised a kid together 👀.
2. Merlin, Gwen, Lancelot and Arthur or mergwenlancethur from BBC Merlin
this one's definitely unpopular and i will not apologize for putting BBC Merlin on here twice but these four are the very definition of polycule marriage to me. i often see mergwenthur which i am also a big fan of and this just elevates it for me because we need lancelot to balance out the crazy of mergwenthur but he probably just ends up making it even more chaotic just the way i like it ig.
1. Kandreil (Kevin, Andrew and Neil) from All For The Game
i mean...they were literally meant to be canon so the tension will always be there. but keep in mind that these three live together, are always seen together and spend every night together on the court. that's way more quality time spent together then most couples out there. oh kandreil you have all my heart 💜!!
THE DOUBLE 墨雨云间 (2024)
@asiandramanet august bingo: color | red
me when people make fun of the qin exam scene in episode 11 of the double: sorry you don't get transported to the altai mountains to chill with flying geese or into a xianxia setting to defeat the devil whenever you see and hear beautiful women shredding on a qin.
Thoughts on The Double rewatch
tl/dr: The FML & SML romantic contrasts sum up like this:
Shen Yurong: Hello my darling, self-sacrificing trophy-wife. Your hands shouldn't touch weapons. They should only do dainty female things.
Xiao Heng: What's up, my fierce wild-cat? OMG your brain is sooooo freakin' sexy, btw. What? You need help learning how to kill someone? Hell yeah, Queen! *grabs her hand and head straight to the armory*
