If you're interested, there's a great movie Raise The Red Lanterns by Zhang Yimou. It's not exactly academic material, but it's therefore easier and more fun to consume. It explores the traditional marriage in China, it is an excellent movie with an interesting story, beautifully shot (the scene from The Untamed where Wangji is kneeling in the snow reminded me a lot of one scene from that movie). Zhang Yimou is brilliant and that movie is one of his best in my opinion :)

Oooo, thanks so much, I’ll put it on my rec list, it sounds fascinating! 👀

There is an update to the glorious Consent To You If Only Just To Bawl by Neliore.

"“Can I come with you?” Huaisang rushes off the bed, grabbing his own outer robe.

“I’d rather you wouldn’t,” Meng Yao says tersely. “I’d like to be alone.”

“A-Yao,” Huaisang squirms, shifting his weight from one foot to the other like he has to go pee. “Please?” He stands in front of Meng Yao, barefoot, clutching his crumpled robe in his hands, looking very small and pitiful like a kicked puppy."

"Meng Yao bows, deep and reverent. “Clan Leader,” he whispers, nearly choking around his own voice.

He can see Chifeng-zun’s boots, one step, then the other, until they’re right in front of him, and he licks his lips, so dry, and dares to look up again."

“I like to think I’m not a fool,” Chifeng-zun says. “So I don’t say that lightly. Despite…”

Meng Yao feels his knees shake, and to prevent himself from falling, but also out of respect, he kneels, bowing. “Clan Leader,” he whispers, rushed and desperate. “I am unworthy, I know. I beseech you—”

neliore replied to your photoset “✡️ praying the day (but never the gay) away”

you're so pretty! did you change your haircolour or is it just the light? it looks great wither way <3

thank you!

my hair color is the same, but i got it re-straightened a few weeks ago, and the chemicals interact with the dye and make it a really nice red that looks fabulous in the light.  God Bless Science :D
