-“from now on I can’t protect you” I wonder what the actual translation of this scene is like, but still...oof
-my sister pointed out that meng yao has very much not been treated for his stab wound
-I didn’t mention it before but the design of mingjue’s like, throne room is very cool
-ahh mingjue is worried about xichen :(
-lotus pier time hooray!! ahh they really make it seem like such a nice place, show how at home jc and wwx are there. just to make it worse when it’s destroyed.
-the fact that the lotus pier set is gorgeous absolutely doesn’t hurt
-this scene with the brothers is so soft oh my god ;_;-
god the way yu ziyuan is introduced is so funny. She gets a slow motion pan in and a focus on Zidian. they’re hammering in that we’re supposed to be scared of her so hard
-indoctrination is I think a weird translation choice here
-all else aside, madam yu is right that the wens are trying to consolidate power and hold the clan heirs hostage. she’s just leveraging that fact to bully her children.
-I think I’ve learned the courtesy levels of the names a bit because when wen chao called lwj lan zhan i was like OOO RUDE
-it’s never been clear to me how they actually poisoned lan qiren
-oh hey it’s su she again. we actually see him a couple times early on, but when we see him later in the plot I still had no idea who he was lmao
-the conversation between lxc and lqr is so much more tense with more context on their characters. I honestly found this boring the first time around
-had to pause and gloss the coughing up blood thing for my mom because she kept commenting on it
-hey is this the first time we see lwj use his guqin in combat?
-I understand wen xu has fans lol. his actor is cute
-(I think it’s so funny how everyone gets ice in their eyebrows when they’re in the cave)
-I mean I know we’re supposed to hate su she for being a coward, but being held at sword point still sucks...
-ahh this is the first time lwj goes against the wishes of his uncle and tries to do the right thing and it goes so wrong :(((
-...but also is there a good reason why he didn’t just, I don’t know, leave the yin iron in the cave?? where it had been all this time before??? like...it seems like a moment of stupidity to progress the plot just a little
-man I actually feel bad for su she a little. he pays back lwj saving him in the worst way though so he still sucks :V
-I love jc’s “oh come on” expression when wwx quotes “attempt the impossible” at him
-who is this rando that wrh kills with puppets...it’s kind of silly, it’s mostly to be like “ooooh look how evilllll”
-it’s effective to show the position poor wq is in though. and having the guy also wake up as a puppet is genuinely scary.
-oh boy, away to evil summer camp now!
-we had a brief argument about whether or not lwj’s leg is broken (it is, he’s supposed to be using his qi on it to be able to walk)
-also had to google the word myrmidon again lmao. my sister opined that yu ziyuan’s whole harangue is not translated well
-I like Nielan but my sister thinks mingjue is str8 :( even with how worried he is about xichen :(
