what if YOU were a poor little animation studio who kept straightifying the very homosexual moments between a tiger and a malnourished victorian child in order to make the anime more appealing to the general public. but THE MANGAKA HIMSELF said NO here’s a scene where said malnourished victorian child sensually bites the tiger’s neck while he’s transformed as a vampire and U HAVE TO ANIMATE IT THIS TIME BCS ITS IMPORTANT TO THE PLOT!!! now bones if you straightify that scene like you did to akutagawa telling atsushi to run you fool then you can trust that i’ll find you more than you trust in god

I keep getting messages asking me if my header picture is me and I say yes because it is BUT I feel very guilty because I'm wearing a TON of makeup, much more than I usually do and even a bit of eyelid tape to alter my appearance so here are some minimal makeup selfies 👉👈 (I'm wearing mascara in the first and eyeliner/lip gloss in the second.) My haircolor is also fake (I'm naturally brunette) and I sometimes wear colored circle lenses. To the 4 (!!!!!) girlies who messaged me so far that have made comparisons between my appearance and their own with a very unfavorable opinion of their own I promise I do not look like that picture 99.999999% of the time and in real life I am pretty plain and unremarkableand it is very possible that I would wish I looked like you if I saw you. 🙈

fanghua and sharing a bed
one detail i noticed earlier in my rewatch is that li lianhua, when he's sleeping/living by himself, keeps a small chest with a plant or two on his bed. it's in the corner by his feet and against the wall, and it's a convenient bedside table, given that the bed is quite large for one person and he doesn't need that entire square area. you can see that he sleeps with this setup perfectly fine when he wakes up from his nap in episode 1, and the chest is still there later as late as episode 12, when fang duobing and di feisheng are sharing the room upstairs (featuring di feisheng here sitting on the bed because apparently that's his travel spot when lianhualou is moving):
however, when fang duobing wakes up in li lianhua's bed in episode 13, that chest is no longer present.
and okay, sure, i can understand this. fang duobing is there because he collapsed from the gang qi and li lianhua had to carry him back to lianhualou. he probably didn't want his things knocked over, and fang duobing is sprawled out quite a bit when he's laying there.
when he wakes up again in li lianhua's bed in episode 15 though, unlike before, fang duobing hadn't passed out during the previous scene. i don't think it happened offscreen, either, given that he isn't groggy when he wakes up here like he was after fainting. the sheets are also pushed off of him/aside like someone else moved them before fang duobing got up, which doesn't look like what happens when he's unconscious. compare from episode 13, then episode 15:
in addition, it's the next morning in this current scene, as opposed to just later in the same day back in episode 13, which means that li lianhua had to sleep somewhere. it's possible he might have just taken the guest room, but if fang duobing wasn't knocked out, then he could have just forced him to move. he didn't bother doing that.
what's important to also note, though, is that the chest has not been placed back by its former corner of the bed.
since we're past there being an emergency situation, and li lianhua likes his lifestyle habits, there's little reason he wouldn't have returned his own bed back to its usual configuration... unless he actually needed the space on the normally unoccupied side. combining all that with the shoved-off state of the sheets when fang duobing wakes up, and it's not implausible to say that perhaps li lianhua was beside him in that bed the night before, then got up earlier the next day.
fanghua very possibly shared a bed in canon, at least for one night. love and light across the jianghu <3
UPDATE: as of episode 19, the next time we really see the inside of lianhualou given that episodes 17-18 followed qiao wanmian's wedding, the chest has been returned to its former position. it was only moved after fang duobing was gone and li lianhua was living by himself again for a stretch of time.
