Jung Hae In as An Jun Ho ‘A Man Holding Flowers’ | D.P. (2021) dir. Han Jun Hee
Me to my brother: *waving a straw. Wingardium leviosa!
My brother: what do you expect me to do?
Me: fly bitch fly.
i love tian ya ke so much because it’s a story all about grief and pain and understanding. and wen kexing and zhou zishu run around in circles trying to let the other know they fucking get it without revealing too much because they both fear being seen as monstrous. both of them hiding because they fear to be seen and to be abandoned or rejected. to lose even one more thing would be unbearable. and again and again they prove to each other they recognize the others pain. they say to each other ‘i’ve seen your heart and not your grief. ive seen what you become and i love you more for it. i understand what you did to survive because i did it too.’ they understand longing for death n they know they cannot save the other. but maybe since there’s another person in the world who recognizes their pain it won’t be so bad. maybe the only thing demons and ghosts need to become human again is just a little understanding…
AND because wen kexing is a Horny Stalker and i love him to death <333
In the latest edition of cql/mdzs rare pairs that completely blindsided me, let's talk about Jiang Cheng and Lan Jingyi.
This ship has the Vibe of that volcano experiment you had in elementary: Explosive? You bet. Educational? Probably. Wildly Entertaining? Hell yeah.
First off, endless Dramatic Potential. Age difference, power dynamics, secret relatioships, outsider povs reactions when they Find Out - take your pick.
Jin Ling. Half of the Drama Material alone is in the very spicy take "my best friend, and my uncle who practically raised me are together." Whichever end of the spectrum JL is on the support/acceptance scale, it's bound to be interesting.
These two are probably the most similar in temperament in the surface level but there's also enough differences to make the ship plausible. One of the things I appreciated in the rewatch is that LJY is often used for exposition dump and so he comes off as super knowledgeable about the world (eg. info on Dancing Goddess) Also, he's perceptive and smart. He's the first person to point out that WWX is not as crazy as he pretends to be as MXY. So he and JC could def have intellectual conversations (hello casefic/nighthunts)
Also when I rewatched ep 1-2 I noticed some Very Interesting things. In the few scenes they are both together with a crowd LJY doesn't speak up during tense scenes, allowing LSZ to be LWJ's Diplomatic Translator. But then there's this One Exchange when JC whips out Zidian at MY (who's already WWX) and he's like "wtf why didn't that work thats impossible" and GUESS WHO HAS THE AUDACITY TO SPEAK OUT WHEN EVERYONES INTERNALLY LIKE "wtf is going on oooh shit"
Thats right our boi LJY. Not only that but he literally says "sect leader pls stop" then proceeds to lecture JC on the features of his own spiritual weapon. LJY does Gusu Library have a cultivation wiki section because is this even public information?? How do you know these v specific things hmmmm maybe you have an inside source like the owner of the spiritual weapon?
And JC doesn't even scold him but instead Actually Slips Composure by asking him, LJY, on how he can be so sure that WWX isn't dead. LJY has to bluntly but unkindly reply that "people said you killed him." Cue JC's open heartbreak in his eyes. At this point it's a wide shot and it's a blink it or miss moment but LSZ lit squeezes LJY's hand to stop from talking at JC (and maybe roasting him)
Btw i didn't wake up one day shipping these two? Like I love JC with WQ and have enjoyed fics pairing him with WN, NHS, and LXC. LJY has been paired with LSZ and even JL and these fics I also loved
But then I read 1-2 fics that had this rare pair and thought "huh they're onto something" then I read more until I found myself scrolling through the ao3 tags and OH nO
Seriously half of the fics is either "I think your hot so let's bang together and maybe catch feelings along the way (mostly LJY)" and "outsider pov finds out about unconventional relationship. Reactions range from shocked surprise to downright decisive. More at page 11"
This pairing in emojis is: 😏😠 (while holding hands) and I can never unsee it so you shouldn't either
The world is just becoming worse and worse. Will it ever stop? Children are already dying Trump!
