what was with cameron house md she spends 90% of the episode saying she wants their patient to die bc he's a genocidal dictator and her colleague husband says "babe it bothers me for ethical reasons that you want our patient to die :(" and she said "hm maybe you're right :/" but when it comes down to it the genocidal dictator lays a finger on her in an aggressive manner and chase instantly commits medical malpractice to murder the guy and then when he tells her she LEAVES HIM bc boo hoo he's a murderer now like GIRL he killed a man for you!!! he's wracked with catholic guilt!!! he's being crushed beneath the weight of his sins because he chose his devotion to you over his devotion to god!!! he literally could not get any sexier at this moment in time!!!
Taking screencaps of the Unexpected Meng Yao Mention was going to take too long, so here's the scene in full! It encapsulates several changes that the drama makes to the chronology and the character dynamics! NMJ is the active force behind his and MY's separation in CQL; rather than MY incapacitating NMJ and fleeing to escape punishment for the captain's murder, NMJ straight-up exiles him with no trickery from MY involved whatsoever. While NMJ is upset about this, it was his choice/moral obligation, so he doesn't appear to bear MY any ill will over it.
Given that lack of ill will, it makes sense for him to inquire how MY is getting on with the Jin clan even at this juncture... EXCEPT! Except. He didn't send MY to the Jin with a nice recommendation letter here. He fired him and sent him packing with an actively bleeding stab wound! Drama NMJ really thought--or really told himself--that not only would an injured MY make it to Lanling in the first place, but that the man who personally kicked him down the stairs for existing would hire him even after he was banished from another sect. He really wants him to be alive and thriving!
JZX's bewildered reaction to his questions drives home just how ridiculous that prospect is, and you can see NMJ go through it. No, his father was never going to accept him; even his awkward half-brother who doesn't even know him can tell you that. Yeah, stab wounds kill people, like JC pointed out on the day of the exile! Drama NMJ is confronting the fact that MY might in fact be dead, and this hurts him.
Once JZX exits, the scene cuts to JC sadly holding Suibian as he and JYL cry about missing WWX. That transition seems deliberate!
And then in the scene after that opens with WLJ, frightened of the WWX in her nightmares, overhearing WC complain:
I loved the cowboy comic so much that I wrote a oneshot for it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/50934235 🥺 your art is BEYOND amazing, ty for the food
So, he has a new series out so I was reminded of my obsession with Ding Yuxi again and in watching some YT video about the new series I was again struck by how fascinating it is to me how different his looks can be. For example, when I watched the first series with him in the main role (The Romance of Tiger and Rose; which yes, I'll readily admit, I agreed to watch in a large part because I saw him on the poster and was like, well, I wouldn't mind seeing more of this 😏), there were two ~versions of him – in the historical and the modern setting:
And like yeah they all wear those wigs in historical dramas so that's not particularly remarkable, right. Little did I know that this was just a tiny tip of the iceberg
Because then when I went to look him up afterwards on YT etc. and the first pictures I saw were these:
about which I was at first like, is that even him? Like the face is just ... not the same in these? But ok, what do I know, anyway ... And then I watched an interview where he has yet another different look, and that seemed kind of in between, so that "bridged the gap" in a way. And then! – in that same interview – they juxtaposed him with another of his earlier looks:
and it's like, who tf is this person ?
It's just, idk, really amazing how much just different hairstyles, lighting, makeup, accessories will do. Obsessed
Other interview looks are nothing extreme
And obviously there's supposed to be more variety when looking at the different roles
But still, sometimes I'm just like, this is one person .....
And like, sure, these looks obviously aren't impossibly different, but comparing the different ends of the spectrum can be pretty wild
In any case, the one that brought all of this about was this latest one:
and idk at this point I shouldn't be surprised anymore. And yet ...
bonus reminder that mdzs-canon meng yao apologizes to da-ge at this precise moment and takes ownership of everything that transpired between them, but nie mingjue does not apologize to meng yao for chasing him around trying to kill him with baxia after meng yao has saved him from wen ruohan 😌
Yes, Alexander Skarsgård is in Succession! He plays a rich tech guy named Lukas Matsson who is basically a genius but also legitimately unwell (gets high and posts weird stuff on Twitter as a tactic to gain media attention/make his stocks go up, listens to podcasts through headphones while having sex, sends whole liters of his own blood to a woman he used to date who currently still works for him, pauses mid-conversation to take a piss, likes the sister from the Roy family because she reminds him of her father, kissed Kendall on the neck after their "your numbers are gay" argument, and I'm sure there's other insane things he's done that I'm forgetting), and all of the Roy siblings want to fuck him so bad it makes them look stupid, but the boys pretend to hate him because he wants to buy their daddy's company but THEY want to keep their daddy's company.
Wow that. Sure is something huh. I think you should know that your posts and now this are singlehandedly responsible for me even considering watching this show because honestly this is so insane that I feel like I have to watch it just to figure out what this even means
Everyone expecting Gojo to be a water / air bender at first sight bc blue eyes and white hair but he's actually a fire bender - doesn't mean he won't let people spread these rumours about him just cause he finds it funny though
LMFAOO he’s annoying like that, I can see it. I will say, I think I am in the airbender Gojo camp, but something about him being a lightning user… I’ll allow it 😌😌
Tell me your fave route from collar x malice, izzy moon 😭! also I forgot the plot of the whole game and probs mixed it up with another otoge but I remember having it in my laptop so might play too while you’re playing 👁️👄👁️
I still have to answer the ask abt cupid paradise but IT SOUNDS SO CUTE GONNA WATCH THE TRAILER AGAIN
— chia chia 👼🏻
!!!! KEI! KEI WITHOUT A DOUBT!! LOOK AT HIM 🥺🥺
(I chose way too fast tbh… I’m not sorry tho) I only got to watch his route before getting to play myself so I’m very eager to play the other routes myself especially since yanagi’s route is locked until you complete the other four 👀✨
But back to Kei, he’s my bean, I absolutely love him. Without a doubt I’d choose his and tbh even tho I haven’t played the other routes yet, I’m confident his will still be my favorite (although I’m calling it that yanagi will probs tie once I get to it) LOL you just think he’s such a space case initially who’s not really worried about too much but once you delve deeper into his story and past you just grow to love him and want the best for him.. 🥹🥺 Also I know my personal bias is coming in when I say I tend to fall for the characters Yuki Kaji voices 😭😭 his characters somehow almost always become my favorite LOL
edit: read more was glitchy so I took the spoiler stuff out unfortunately 😭😭😭 (if you want to play while I’m playing then I guess you’ll just have to play his route and find out LOL)
but anyways please come and ask me about this game at any point and I’ll rave about it (or any game for that matter that I’ve played or am playing). I have so much love for cxm even when I haven’t even played it much myself 💜💜 ty for coming into my inbox as always chia I love receiving asks from you! they make me smile uwu be well!!
I can’t wait to play through this route in it’s entirety. I’m on chapter 2 now and even knowing a good chunk of this route has not stopped my reactions from coming out. It’s like the first time (especially since I’m playing it myself now)
