Misty Creed Interview Outtake (?)

source Transcript below the cut

Question: Working together for the 2nd time, were there any changes in the relationship between the three of you? Jing Yanjun: We got closer. Wang Bowen: More passionate. Chen Yesheng: I think there can be more a bit more distance. Video Editor: I messed up. Take 2! W: For 3 actors to work together so well and to do that twice, it's actually a rare opportunity. J: That's right. W: Plus, our relationship on set is always good. Even during the first time we worked together. I think most importantly, we're happy to still be able to work together on the second one. On screen: Warning: High Octane Ahead W: Now it's already- we won't- that- VE: Stop asking, it's good enough! W: Say, the relationship between people- VE: What other changes can there be! W: Like what? Marriage? J & C: Dage, what are you talking about? W: Can't do that. Just the relationship between two people- It's not like he can bear me a child, right? J: Ge? I'm portraying Wu Xie, not Wu Yu (means "speechless"). W: So, these things, how to put it- J: Ge? What are you talking about J: Not hearing it C: Not seeing it

#misty creed #are all pangzi actors like this... no filter... filter gone... only ship brain (?) #the other two are just like watching #jing yanjun is Visibly pink it's hilarious

I’m still laughing how this is bts, but also kinda just “iron triangle in a nutshell”, so besides everything we also have like a 3 hours long sitcom about these three lol

Everyone remember Pangzi’s incredible little shark pouch in UN? Well I sure think about it every day and I thought other people might too so I should maybe share where you can buy it.

It’s from the Hong Kong brand Morn, it’s quite cheap too! (I’m fully ignoring the shipping cost though)

#Wang Pangzi #dmbj #ultimate note #idk if someone else shared this already #but a few months ago i spent like a full evening looking for it #once i have saved up some more money i'll probably even buy it #the shipping is just... a lot for me #twice the price of the pouch

xiaoge with little tags sewn into ALL of his clothes that say "hi! if something happens call pangzi!" with his number.

#like a kid going to camp #meanwhile he is an expert fighter and tombraider #yes this includes his underwear #sometimes pangzi gets called bc xiaoge lost his hoodie but it's worth it #just in case

[sunriseverse]

slides into your ask box: i hear you're doing another ask meme. would love to hear your thoughts/a summary about something to do with the iron triangle starting a restaurant and how it is truly the next great adventure. especially because starting a business with your loved ones sounds like a great idea in theory until you do it and want to kill one another at first.

i have less than zero experience running any sort of business, let alone a restaurant, so this is all probably at least mildly inaccurate, but i have been thinking and considering and percolating. simmering, if you will, like a pot of sauce. (okay, i'll stop making terrible cooking jokes. enjoy this little snippet of a fic.)

When Pangzi first gives in to Wu Xie's insistence that they start a restaurant—well, not give in, since half the time he'd been just as enthusiastic about the idea as Wu Xie was; if anything, it was Xiaoge doing the giving in, gently bullied into waiting tables on quiet nights because they'll get more tips that way, and Xiaoge gives off the type of energy that stops anyone thinking about doing anything in their tracks—, he assumes that the biggest hurdles will be—you know, the usual. Cost, location, advertisement. And, make no mistake, those are complicating factors, yes, but the thing is—

"Tianzhen," he growls, after the tenth time that Wu Xie tries to backseat cook his job, "if you don't shut up, I'm going to kick you out of the kitchen." This isn't even the second, or third, or fourth time this has happened—Pangzi has lost count. And it's not just the backseat cook—it's also the arguing about table placements, and photos for the menu, and, and, and. The list never ends!

"But the potatoes are going to get soggy!" Wu Xie protests, and Pangzi has to bat his hands away from where he's reaching for the mesh ladle.

"You've never complained when I make this back at home!" Pangzi counters, and hipchecks him aside, the slighter man sputtering as he goes, flailing dramatically, away from the pot of hot oil.

"Xiaoge," Wu Xie whines, a clear appeal to the neutral party who's busy cleaning the greens at the sink. Xiaoge, calm as the surface of a fathom-deep lake, looks up from his work, gaze flitting across the two of them for a moment, and then proceeds to blatantly ignore them.

#i could 100% be convinced to continue this just so you know. like i would do research into this. willingly. #ask #ask meme #dmbj #wang pangzi #wu xie #zhang qiling #this is pingpangxie of course <3 but i GUESS you could read it as 100% platonic #spinecorset writes #c.txt

[scaredysap]

I am sensing.... a pattern....

#pingxie #pangxie #iron triangle #iron triangle ot3 #dmbj #how can people separate them #there's no way #it's literally the same shot #5 episodes apart #now i just need to find the final shot like this #with xiaoge holding pangzi or vice versa #come on #make it complete #i require it

[wushanju]

Last night was movie night at Wushanju ! They had everyone over and it was Xiao Hua's turn to pick a film so they watched Farewell My Concubine. If anyone asks he did not cry you didnt see anything. If he's hiding behind Xiazi a little bit that's just because he cant get comfy. Pangzi moved a box tissues to their end of the sofa, just coincidentally.

#He just had to hide his face in Xiazi's shoulder because the screen was too bright and it made his eyes water a little bit thats all. #this is sarcasm he cried like a baby #wushanju diary #wushanju #xiao hua #xie yuchen #hua er ye #hei xiazi #hei yanjing #wang pangzi #pangzi #dmbj #daomu biji

[mejomonster]

Daomubiji is the gayest "not written to be intentionally gay" I've ran into in the cwebnovel world. Like. In English? Yeah plenty of fuckers especially pre 2015 would make a story gay but never intend it to be read that way and yell at people who did (and some who didnt get mad but also didnt want to embrace that potentiality). Occasionally making something intensely gay. Nowadays most English stuff either is aware of how gay it wrote shit and therefore okay with itself as that, or is so unintentional it's just a baffling situation

Meanwhile in cwebnovels it's a pretty established genre to just put out gay content so usually if it's gay it's already fully aware it's writing in such a way (now cdramas are another story since it's the foggy land of some gay stuff being adapted to "bromance" meanwhile some purposely friendship stuff trying it's hardest to slide toward "bromance" to capitalize on that angle without actually being gay, then the ones in the middle happy to capitalize on the gay and playing hard and loose and not really confirming what their intent truly is -dmbj shows are Now Here-, and then original script "bromances" fully intending to be gay the way Xena was like Killer and Healer which I applaud for wanting to do gay in an impossible environment with no book to lean on as the reason it was made gay as it was - mriad also toed this, that tan jianci show recently did etc). So like usually if it's Not overtly gay as a novel I assume no intention was purposeful, at least not much. (Though to be fair maybe there are authors utilizing subtext and a bit scared to go overt gay cause of how that may affect them/sales/their future etc, which may be going on but I am not aware enough of everything in non-gay novel land to comment. Fair enough though that was certainly going on in Hayes code America in the film industry, with some people making gay threesome art films sliding past the radar on purpose, others making metaphor as literal wasn't alloved, others accidentally making subtext rather than on purpose, and I'd say to some degree novel wise that would have been going on as well. I didn't read many us novels from 70s-2000 but iwtv made gay implied and the sequel a decent time later made gay overt and I'd assume some bigger safety in writing gay characters was felt by authors later in the century).

Anyway, my point. Of the small amount ive read, dmbj is sure the gayest "not in the gay genre" cnovel I've found. There's The Kings Avatar, that's big, can anyone tell me if it's gay? There's Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, which has a gay side couple but that's not quite the same. There's LiuLi (Love and Redemptions novel), but a main character who's multiple genders and a bi love interest is just... not common in general anywhere so that's more of a one off thing (I'd love for it to be more common though). Mostly the big stuff that comes out that people interpret as gay out of cnovel land... IS purposefully fully intended as gay.

Meanwhile dmbj show wise, is at the point where scenes adapted from its own novel get cut for being too gay (oh wu xie u bastard cat ur too into xiaoge for censors to bear). Dmbj show wise, for a while, for baffling reasons post The Lost Tomb (because if you squint HARD there's non gay reasons to put in all the gay scenes as a speed run implied instant Platonic fondness/connection that's just using romance action tropes to speed it up to communicate to audience since it only has like 10 episodes... again, if you squint I can see an oblivious straight person somehow thinking it was straight). But then by The Lost Tomb 2 you've got the saving him in a tux in his arms shit, Ultimate Note you've got scenes Being cut for being "too gay" wu xie, in Reboot you've got the whole cast well aware of ships and nanpai Sandshu also WELL aware by that point so if there's any "bromance" now towing the line of gay it's at least likely on purpose and self aware they're on the line.

But then there's. The fucking novels. Wu Xie my dude. Iron triangle my guys. How did all this accidentally happen? Is this the beautiful outcome of npss starting fanfic with no idea where it would end? You genderbend a love interest, make the guy embody ur idea of cool so u have to have ur viewpoint character wu xie notice how Cool said Cool Guy is, and the gender ambiguous premise leads to romantic interest slanting framing of such character, leads to that entire structure continuing long after u decided emo boy is a dude, wu xie is into men now and ur in way too deep now to backtrack so pangzis commenting, now ur cool emo got Emotionally Attached to one person in this whole world and it's ur viewpoint dude, now he's sacrificing for him, now they're at Minimum as gay as Kirk and Spock and quickly hurtling to Xena/Gabrielle levels. And I'm googling pingxie having heard of dmbj, having never seen an episode, ans finding its one of the biggest Ships TM. Thinking it's some fan ship with no Canon basis like idk captain america/iron man, then I watch The Lost Tomb and no these fuxkers as gay as Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan to my assumption. Then I look up the books and it's. Odd. They're definitely soulmates, they don't date others, they retire together, xiaoge sees wu xie as The Person for his ass TM, and it's uh. It is what it is. They're life partners for sure anyway. So it's a kirk/spock situation at minimum. But, if you watch the shows it's treading on "this Bromance is so close to/possibly Is Romance that we are being assumed as actual bl" line. Which I guess in show form is Xena/Gabrielle. Cause most censored bl dramas are xena/gabrielle level (lovers but you gotta be Just vague enough about it to be allowed to air). And thus is established, the gayest pair of "are they gay" I've run into in chinese media. (To be compared with the youtube series Are You Gay of Kirk/Spock, a question for the ages).

I'm just. They're so gay. They're whatever they are in canon, and why. Its fun to think of why (before the shows slid them pretty firmly into "is might as well be bl territory so assume it is" with the way the show teams handle it). Like. Is it all just a happy accident of npss, a fanfic turned original universe that of course includes anything and everything (comets from space, giant snakes, emo immortals, hair monsters) so why wouldn't it also include gay chosen soulmate fuckers in the center. Is dmbj an interesting example of what fiction can grow and turn into of its own accord, as it evolves over years and becomes its own entity of development? It's interesting. It's interesting what else may eventually develop and shift. (Take what I said with heaps of salt though, I still need to read a Lot more of the books, I'm a newbie with them and still happy to fall into many more of them)

#rant #dmbj #pingxie #feel free to ignore im sorry u just tead that ToT #im just CONTEMPLATING OKAY SHDJJD #im now also contemplating like. the future for the iron triangle. and for the side characters #a good writer with a solid plan? theyd make maybe #wu xie and pangzi die. after pangzi has kids. then xiaoge either kills himself to join wu xie. or forgets wu xie #and wanders looking for him (and finds him reincarnated - which is my personal angst/hopeful headcanon for the end) #meanwhile the main story shifts to foxus on a trio/group of younger characters who tomb raid #with wu xie gone as narrator. and xiaoge (if alive) as just a guest character very rarely. #and/or id fucking Hope the series ends there. but npss tried to end it before. then brought them baxk #so like. knowing him itll turn into a bigger beast of plot threads. instead of wrapping up

Catching up on Merebear’s DMBJ translations again, because I tend to do other things and then binge read. And I’m at the part on the way to Changbai Mt. where the group is assembled and I’m just screaming at how in sync Wu Xie and Pangzi are~ They haven’t seen each other in months but within minutes, Wu Xie knows how to calm Pangzi down, and Pangzi listens to his nonverbal communication (back touches~) even though he’s fired up about stuff (he’s being an ass, but on the other hand, an old, old man leading them on some dangerous mountain climbing both literal and metaphorical is a legit concern and he may be out of line from our perspective but only a little bit).

Anyways, Volume Two said PangXie Rights and I am living~

#dmbj #and there was that bit with the offering to sightsee at midnight #and it's just like pangzi are you flirting?!

[redxblueihateloveyou]

whatever the hell it was on gifs 3&4 esp I still can’t tell lmfao

[pangzi]

Thinking about how in yucun Wu Xie is like wow life in the house I built is pretty wonderful I can see Pangzi sunbathe naked on the balcony from my study.

#nohomo just like seeing my bro sunbathe naked #pangxie #wu xie #wang pangzi #dmbj

[good--merits-accumulated]

love love love that wu xie's big plan for sneaking into warehouse 11 is to jump onto a moving truck, roll around a little bit, taser the driver, and then impersonate him while said driver is still perfectly visible in the back seat. and it (technically) WORKS

#dmbj #speaking of which #where is my guy pangzi? #has he just been left to rot inside that big ol vase? #free him #wu xie is like. the embodiment of bad luck having to even out eventually #htoo watches reunion
