my favorite cdrama inconsistency is when a character with butt-length luscious hair has to put their hair in a bun and a guan for whatever reason and the bun is like the size of a plum on their head. you KNOW that much hair would make princess leia sized buns at least
i made one of those “if you liked that, try this” matrices for books and cdramas
dongfang qingcang feminist icon bc he only ever respected one god of war and it wasn't the man
i have seen multiple posts in the clj tag like “whatever dylan wang has got going on in that fairy devil show is way more elfin than anything rop has manage to produce” and like. literally yeah twitter.com/BrandyLJensen/…
why you should watch 苍兰诀, otherwise known as canglanjue, clj, love between fairy and devil, lbfad, this show has so many title variations (we love her) a ppt from me, @metrozhan, and @aeryies, with a guest spot from @hotpocketpng 😌🌸😈
you can tell dylan wang used to work customer service (as a flight attendant) because the face he uses for dfqc trying not to lose his fucking shit really can only be perfected by the retail industry (gif credit: valarinde @ tumblr! valarinde.tumblr.com/post/694381598…)
raise an orchid they said. it'll be so easy they said
now that i’ve had a few hours to process (and finish sleeping, honestly amazed i got any shuteye after the finale), i really wanted to rhapsodize a bit about 苍兰诀, “clj”—if only to explain why it’s had my friends and i in a chokehold this past month.
clj really said. love really is the only thing that matters. love is neither fate nor a feeling but a choice and one you make over and over again. love is where you can face your ugliest self and win. love is what keeps every story alive. holy fucking shit. THIS SHOW
SHE'S A LOW-RANKING FAIRY WHO ACCIDENTALLY WAKES AN IMPRISONED DEMON KING AND SOULBONDS WITH HIM SO THEY HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER FOR SURVIVAL REASONS AS HE SEEKS TO AVENGE HIS FALLEN TRIBE ONLY TO REALIZE THAT THEY ARE EACH THE ONLY TRUE COMPANY THEY'VE EVER HAD AND FALL IN LO
sometimes i think "why are some cdrama titles like 东宫 eastern palace or 三生三世 three lives three worlds translated as goodbye my princess or eternal love" and then i remember the mandarin title of inception is "dreamspace pirates" and IT is "the clown comes back to life"
made one of these for cdramas
the three tumors
i finished this movie earlier—咒, or INCANTATION (2022) internationally—and it was so goddamn terrifying and disturbing that i had to finish it in broad daylight, and i know i’m still gonna be freaked out tonight. it’s a taiwanese found footage horror told in a nonlinear style!
i have been crylaughing all morning at this behind the scene clip of zls not realizing they’d called action and thinking the set horse was having zoomies and screaming in terror while everyone else was like “wow, excellent acting in this scene”
he's a 10 but he ate his dad and chases you around jianghu trying to fondle your shoulder blades
hey do you ever think about how gu xiang might have had her own page in that jianghu's most wanted brochure with all the ghosts' likenesses painted in fine ink you ever wonder if wkx tries to find that book again bc, as the years wear on, he starts to forget what she looked like
recently i read “people hate doing their own shit but they LOVE correcting someone else’s shit” and i’ve started applying that to work by making inaccurate slides and watching engineers who would rather d!e than turn in their slides go into overdrive to fix them
things to avoid saying in the jianghu - if you’re a leading character: no matter what happens, i’ll always be your brother/sister/sworn sibling - if you’re a loveable child: when i grow up, i want to be a mighty general
zhou zishu "my wife is so annoying and jealous" this "lao wen is so insincere and demented" that. like okay zhou "can't fall asleep without his face pressed into wkx's hair and smelling his smell like a little freak cat" zishu whatever fries your rice i guess
