Carina puts her finger to her lips, smiling when Charlotte copies her. They’re both hiding behind the island in Estelle’s kitchen, waiting for them to get home. “We’re going to jump out and yell ‘boo!’ as soon as aunt Essie comes in here, okay?” She’s supposed to use her key for emergencies, but pranking Estelle with her daughter is more fun. They hear the key turn in the lock, and Charlotte is grinning excitedly, shushing Carina adorably the whole time. The familiar click clack of high heels on the tile flooring gets closer, and then they’re both jumping out with wide, mischievous grins. “BOO!”

​“Go away! I’m not kissing you under this damn... Christmas lettuce!” She can’t remember the word for mistletoe, and it only makes her more irritated. The ghosts are relentless at this time of year, they follow her everywhere. It’s not often that she has to yell at them about boundaries in the middle of a Christmas market — in fact, she’s never had to do that until today. And to make things worse, someone walks in front of her at the exact moment she loses her cool. Making awkward eye contact with them, Cordelia smiles sheepishly. “...Is what I would say to Biden if he were here.” Worst and most embarrassing attempt to not sound insane ever.

Record 02: Nico's Seventeenth Birthday, 28th January 20XX

Pairings: Primordial God! Chronos/Ananke! Nico di Angelo

Rating: G

Story Summary:

“Seventeen…” Hades started, looking up at the banner. “It might seem like you still have a lot of life ahead of you, but when you’re a demigod, that’s considered the peak of your existence.” “Are you here to deliver a premonition - on my birthday of all days - that I’m about to die soon?” Nico asked, frowning. “Not going to lie - it’s probably the worst gift I could ever receive on this occasion.” Surprisingly, his father laughed, as if he heard an absurd joke. “You’d likely outlast your own father. Which, I suppose, is how it’s always supposed to be.” His tone was almost gentle as he continued, “I’m tired of mourning for my lovers, let alone my children. I’m… pleased that I don’t have to do that with you.”

She can feel his eyes on her as she reaches her arm up to point at another constellation.

"That one's Delphinus, I think."

"Pretty," he says.

Annabeth can't help the smile on her face as she turns her head to the side to look at him, only to find that his eyes are still on her.

"You know, you have to actually look at the sky to see it," she teases.

"Who said I was talking about the stars?"

Estelle rushes over to him, grabbing his leg while the man tries to take off his coat without dropping the bag.

"Did you remember to grab the food coloring?"

He chuckles, picking her up with his free arm and kicking off his shoes. "What kind of dad would I be if I forgot the food coloring?"

"A bad one."

Dance of the Phœnix - Overall review

Now that I finally completed the series Dance of the phœnix, here’s my general review. For those who don’t know about this drama, it is the story of Feng Wu, a prodigious cultivator that lost all of her memories when someone stole her phœnix blood, which made her special. As she tries to regain her spiritual powers to awaken her sleeping master so she can return where she comes from, she makes friends, allies, but also many ennemies.

Plot

I would say the story is overall promising at the beginning, but as we progress through the series, things start to go astray. Character development isn’t a strength, they are all mostly the same at the beginning of the drama and at the end, except for Yu Mingye and Zuo Qingluan, who are in my opinion the two solid strengths of this story. Without them, it would have rather boring. 

My biggest issue with Dance of the phœnix is the many plot holes. Some characters disappear sometimes without any explanation and then they come back without any details as to why they left in the first place. Maybe it has something to do with the actors being unavailable? But the writers could have done a better job than that to hide it. Also, when we read the official summaries everywhere, it says that Feng Wu’s name is Meng Yuan and that she’s a medical student. BUT NEVER EVER IN THE DRAMA IS THAT MENTIONNED! There are clues here and there about the fact that she would be from our world (blowing candles for a birthday, eating ramen but has the quick ones in a box, references to Liu Bei, etc). Mu Jiuzhou, her master, mentions that she’s from another world, but we never get to learn how she came and where is she from. It really bothered me. Also there were a few stories that were a little useless. Especially the one about the wolf lady. It was cute. Then it became extremely sad and I’m still very very mad about what happened. The whole motives behind the bad guys was very weak in my opinion. Overall, it had potential, but it was wasted.

Overall, plot wise this does not deserve more than a 6/10.

Acting

There was good acting and bad acting. It wasn’t so consistent for Yang Chaoyue. I’ve seen comments saying that she seemed emotionless, but that is not what bothered me so much. I feel sometimes she was going way over the top in her acting and it wasn’t matching the character. But at some point, her character wasn’t consistent in the script to begin with, so it must have been hard to keep up. Jun Linyuan did an okay job, like it didn’t strike me as exceptional, but it wasn’t bad. It’s hard to judge when they play an emotionless character. But there were definitely some nice scenes from him, especially after he got a little more comfortable around Feng Wu as Jun Linyuan and he started teasing her.

The two actors that really impressed me were Jinna Fu and Wang Haoxuan. Jinna Fu had to portray the so ever complicated Zuo Qingluan and she did very well. I could believe in every mood swings she had. She made me hate her character, to the point I couldn’t see any redemption for her. And at the same time, I loved Zuo Qingluan just for that. She was alive, albeit motivated by the wrong reasons. I can’t say I’ve ever seen her out of character, even when it seemed a little inconsistent to me (I blame more of the writing than anything else). And finally, Wang Haoxuan. Can we talk about how Yu Mingye was perfect at all times? It was such a complex character, thorn between the expectations of his father, but his gentle nature. He could be cheeky and arrogant without me falling out of it. He made me laugh and cry. I think it was the most relatable character and Wang Haoxuan did an excellent job at showing all the different sides of this tormented child.

For me, the acting in general deserves a 8/10, but that’s because Jinna Fu and Wang Haoxuan did a wonderful job, the average was around maybe 7/10 for me.

Visuals

Here, this is what drew me first to this drama. I really liked the soft look of scenes. The costumes were simple, yet elegant. I enjoyed the colours being consistent for each sect of cultivation. The hairstyles were really a joy to look at, especially for the disciples of the Biluo Palace. I was very impressed. For sure, I’ve seen much more intricate costumes watching historical/xianxia drama, but here it was just enough. The colouring of the scenes were always appeasing. The one thing I didn’t really like is that they made the empress go darker and darker to show that she was the villainess while I think it would have made more sense if she became brighter and brighter. But that’s just my opinion.

The CGI really wasn’t so bad to be honest. Some creatures weren’t that great, but the little bird was great. I just wish they didn’t give it a robotic voice, but oh well. Also they didn’t go overboard with the spells, it wasn’t all over the place and they kept it minimal in special effects, which I like better. Cool special effects are nice, but once it starts becoming overwhelming, I lose all interest.

This drama gets a 9/10, because nothing’s perfect, but they did very well in that aspect.

Soundtrack

I think the soundtrack was one of the strengths of this drama. I really liked both the opening and the ending songs, though I didn’t listen to them every time I watched an episode. I also feel that in general, the music was appropriate to what was happening and really set up the mood of the story.

Here again, it’s 9/10, even though I don’t have as much to say.

Should you watch this drama? I would say no. It has lots of good things and I was pretty excited since it was from the same director as the Untamed, but however it didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s a sweet love story, but unfortunately, I don’t think it’s worth the 30 episodes. Everything was resolved in a very unsatisfying way, a lot of questions were left unanswered and to me the writers didn’t do a very good job to make everything coherent. This drama gets a 7/10, and I’m generous because when I first started watching, I really liked it.

“I was being serious when I said I haven’t been to a club in years. Am I even going to like this place?” Kamelya has no idea why she let Estelle convince her that this is a good idea. Being in a dark club, surrounded by booze and attractive, skimpily dressed people feels like a recipe for disaster. Her mind feeling so fractured lately will also contribute to terrible decisions, no doubt. There’s nothing she can do about it now, though. They’re already outside the place Estelle has chosen, and short of turning on her heels and running away like a coward, there’s no way to escape. “You’re buying the first round, by the way. If you want me to have a good time, I’m going to need something strong.”

where: the swimming pool of the hotel who: Quinn and Estelle ( @number4-estelle​ )

The pool was too quiet - there was nobody swimming, and there were no signs of any children running around and screaming and laughing and pushing one another into the water. It felt wrong.

Quinn sat down at the side of the pool and kicked off her shoes. Once she’d rolled up the hem of her pants to her knees, she dipped her feet into the water and sighed.

She heard somebody approach and glanced over her shoulder to see one of the very few people she’d actually been hoping to see. She gave her sister a smile and gestured for her to join her. 

“The water’s great,” She said, “I promise I won’t push you in.” She’d done that before, in the past, enough times that she’d earned a reputation for it. 

“What do you think all of this is about?” Quinn gestured around them, at the hotel at large.
