Soooooo about that new tgcf episode, right? (novel spoilers for those who have not finished book 1)
Across the board tgcf season 2 has honestly been blowing away all my expectations for just how *good* of an adaptation it was going to be. It definitely helps that the 2nd half of book one is probably my favorite arc in the entire series and it brings me great joy to see it animated with such care.
Case and point, I was not expecting them to go quite so hard in showcasing the history of Xie Lian and Lang Qianqiu but it is by far my favorite scene in the episode. There is just. So much attention to detail here.
First up we have how they actually transition into the massacre.
The returning thematics of the 3rd glass of water problem being presented and what that means for Xie Lian and Lang Qianqiu specifically are clear enough from how the novel presents them, but this is just a perfect way to showcase that visually. By having Qianqiu's statement of "he shouldn't have intervened from the beginning" into Xie Lian becoming that 3rd person to take responsablity for the Gilded Banquet. The way that this also shows how it will reflect Qianqiu's views on what Xie Lian did when the truth is revealed.
Also shoutout to how menacing Xie Lian is as he walks up to the king. The donghua is really selling you on the possibility that maybe Xie Lian did do this. However, important to note, Xie Lian does not have a speck of blood on him- until he kills the king. A clever bit of foreshadowing to how the only blood Xie Lian actually has on his hands is the king's, no one else in that room was killed by him.
I wish i had the screencap of when Qianqiu has overtaken Xie Lian because this is such a miserable and perfect parallel shot between the two of them.
Circling back to the initial transition with the 3rd glass of water question, we see Xie Lian becoming that third person to prevent Lang Qianqiu from having to do so in his stead. He turns that 3rd person question in to a simple good and evil scenario. Upcoming we'll have Xie Lian's declaration of "Good! I hope you never become like me!" to Lang Qianqiu and furthering the parallels between them, and this is such a classic shot to establish such parallelism. Lang Qianqiu is so young and terrified and eerily similar to Xie Lian. And Xie Lian, who we have come to know as a apathetic but ultimately compassionate and kindhearted person, fully assume the mask of the villain.
Anyways if anyone needs me i am going to chewing this episode between my teeth

Ok, are children gone to sleep..?
That last WIP of Chen made some of yall into so many eyed creatures that I decided to make an effort and finish it.
Very NSFW under the cut ❣
I still have no context for it, so
hop on

also…. making things lilyrosekiller now (blame saints) but med students lily and evan on their placement year, who’re kinda friends?? maybe?? they’re both sorta outcasts in the med student body bc lily just works SO much and evan is such a fucking freak, so they hang out together sometimes bc no one else wants to
then there’s barty… who’s mum is ill and staying in the hospital and he’s coming to visit and he’s like absurdly hot in a really ‘i shouldn’t find him attractive’ way and lily and evan are just drooooling
like he’s punching walls bc his mum’s not getting better and they’re thinking about licking the blood off his knuckles. he’s fighting w a doctor about the treatment plan, all angry and assertive like, and they’re about ready to start stripping for him. he’s speaking gently to his mum and reading trashy magazines about celebrity sex scandals aloud to her and they’re seconds away from throwing themselves down at his feet in worship
and then lily and evan notice the other’s obsession and it becomes a sort of competition, who can get barty to notice them, and they’re making endless tea and embarrassing attempts at small talk and they’re arguing about who he likes more in one of the hospital broom cupboards
and then ‘i bet i could kiss him far better than you ever could’ and ‘prove it then’ and they’re just full on making out now and…..
barty’s back at the hospital again the next day and evan and lily are just. like every time he looks at them they sneak off to snog and he speaks to lily for a few minutes and five minutes later, she and evan are fucking in the staff toilet like ‘and then he said - oh right there, perfect - he said yeah whatever thanks, oh, oh!-’
and one time barty walks in on them and they’re just immediately ten times more turned on and barty can tell, like he’s raising an eyebrow and taking his shirt off like okay cool, this could be fun
and now he’s coming to the hospital even more, and not just to visit his mum, and they just AAAAAAAA they’re just driving me insane actually and at this point my thoughts just devolve into garbled screams so i’m gonna stop talking now…
