Since we're on the topic this scene literally makes me cry for no other reason than being one of the most cinematically perfect action sequences ever

#mad max: fury road #forever favorite #film #this movie got me onto tumblr and ao3 #this movie accompanied me through my last arduous months of grad school #watching this movie with friends was my bachelorette party #I have yet to experience that state of perfect peace of complete and crystalline presence of heart and mind watching any other film #I don't expect furiosa to be the same kind of soul cleansing experience #but please just don't let me hate it

The Sun Queen Chapter 1

Yuanzhou knew that they were not to be granted any amnesty.  If they were lucky, Li Sun would grant them a quick death.  Better to plan how best to get at least the princess, if not the gold, out of the city and safe back on the other side of the border.  Marriage or no marriage.

Li Tongguang stood to one side, eyes glinting gold in the light of the setting sun.  Yuanzhou wished that he’d had more time to properly handle Ruyi’s disciple.  There was much that could be communicated even in a room with an enemy.  Right now, the only thing he could see on Li Tongguang’s face was a warning.  Fear, perhaps.  Though Yuanzhou couldn’t see if that was for Li Tongguang himself or for all of them.

"His residual heat had long dissipated, but the silk was warm with his scent. She allows herself an indulgent giggle in the dark cocoon, her body quivering in a way that no longer bewilders, only quickens with a giddiness that wants resolution."

Shamelessly fluffy epilogue for @numerodix.

Didn't you tell me to make a move, rather than sit tight and wait. I took your words too seriously and I did something stupid. Anyway, I only want you. You must be responsible for me.

Did no one in Nanping teach you not to force a woman? What about gender equality? If you can kiss me. Why can't I kiss you?

#will love in spring #春色寄情人 #there is a lover in my hometown #cdrama #the way she just driftwalks back into that kiss #as if their mouths were magnetized #oh MY LORDT #I love how the makeout scenes do such a great job of moving the characters/relationship to unexpected and emotionally dynamic places #every time they kiss I have no idea what’s going to happen next with them #which is quite a feat for this genre which is built on a familiar and established story trajectory #this is how you build narrative tension in a romance drama #not by introducing unnecessary misunderstandings or uncharacteristic lapses in communication #fake it till you make it #装腔启示录 #did this well too #but not quite to this rarified level of sexiness

"Yes, every tool has their place, he thinks. You and I will try to build this land with shovel and plow, needle and loom, with ink and paper and pigment. But if there comes a time we must guard the kingdom from its king, we reach for the blade."

Zhuang Jie, your legs looked fine when you kicked that person. It's all thanks to adrenaline. Got it? But speaking of which, the prosthetic limb I ordered isn't free, you know? Although something went wrong, it can still be used after I get used to it. So, you were joking with me all along?

#will love in spring #春色寄情人 #there's a lover in my hometown #cdrama #I’m watching this with relish #like- a VAT of relish #watching her playfully pick and poke and prod at his not very convincing posture of indifference #and laughing it off like she too is indifferent #until that moment when he goes too far and she slips #they are both so guarded in different ways up until that moment #and her anger revealed her sincerity in a way that made it emotionally safe for him to do so as well #this push/pull #DELICIOUS
