Massive props to @krispyllamasweets for sharing the YouTube playlist of the Hao Du/Leyan cut of The Long Ballad with me! This is what I really wanted all along, and I'm clearly not the only one!

I've pretty much watched the entire drama now, although I got really impatient after episode 40 or so and skipped most of the non-Hao Du/Leyan scenes.

Even though I'd seen some clips of their story on YouTube before, I still legit teared up in episode 42 when he fights for her and they finally get together. Those scenes were totally earned - they went through so much, changed, and grew. Honestly, they're the only interesting thing about this drama. I totally get why Liu Yuning became more popular because of this role, and why people are so stoked to see him and Zhao Lusi film another drama. She's not my favourite actress out there, but their chemistry is undeniably off the charts. I hope they can pull it off again in their new project.

GUH, rewatching The Long Ballad and having lots of thoughts about the Khatun and her loyal bodyguard, and how they're such interesting dark parallels to Li Leyan and Hao Du.

What if Leyan did end up getting married off to the Ashile tribe, with only some maidservants and a bodyguard from home, and an uncaring uncle as emperor? What kind of a person would she have matured into, abandoned by her people - would she have been able to gain her confidence like in the show, or become embittered and manipulative instead? What kind of a husband would She'er have been to her, with his inferiority complex, at the whims of other people's power plays - or would he have been inspired to be better? What kind of place in the Ashile would Hao Du have taken, ever his princess's loyal servant, with vicious impulses a little less checked? Would the Khatun see this little princess as a mirror of her former self and feel compelled to protect her, or as a pawn to bend to her will in service of restoring the Sui?

I'm super interested in this AU but I have no idea where it would go. If anyone has written or ends up writing it, I'd really love to read it!

Gave in, because I am obsessed with Lusi, and currently on ep 32 of The Long Ballad. I am loving it, even if this show is stressful as heck. And like... I know no one is surprised but I LOVE LI LEYAN AND I WOULD DIE FOR HER. YOU GO MY LITTLE MEOW MEOW!

Zhao Lusi, you have never let me down.

#the long ballad #li leyan #she's everything to me #there's an endless list of crimes I'd commit for my girl #zhao lusi brainrot #zhao lusi #this woman cannot fail i adore her #wu lei too #i knew i could trust that man #dilreba is also great

[eigwayne]

I could not decide what to watch this week, so I started like three or four shows. And yesterday I decided that I wanted to rewatch The Long Ballad instead. So that's what I'm doing.

#currently watching #look i love the long ballad #i'm an idiot about hao du/li leyan #but watching a super cut is not the same #it's not as good without the context

writing patterns meme!

uwa lore tagged me for this. thank you @megafaunatic

rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

By the time Wolfwood made it out to the dented fuselage panel of the EDS Punisher, the offending jetsam had already floated out of reach. (by the time the apocalypse began)

The brochure came in the mail. Wolfwood wouldn’t have noticed it if it hadn’t sliced the knuckle of his pinky finger open. (nowhere left for us to go but heaven)

The river Styx changed the first time Zagreus attempted to escape. (wait for you at the bottom)

“The most I can give you is ten spirit stones. Take it or leave it.” (双命; twin fates)

If Xiao Lanhua were to look on the bright side—which she was very, very good at out of necessity rather than choice, staring down the dark ravines of her patchwork life—then it was probably for the best that she and Dongfang Qingcang hadn’t gotten married on ten days’ notice some five hundred years ago. (破晓之前的你, 黄昏之后的我; you before dawn, me after dusk)

She had been a few hundred years old, give or take a few decades, fingers in a flower pot full of good mulch and worms and soft clay, when her shifu had taught her the saddest word: almost. (说不出口的再见; a goodbye that cannot be said)

Because this was always how it was going to end. (美丽的日子; beautiful days)

Before the end, before the beginning that followed, before everything, Li Changge once had told Li Leyan: you can read disasters in the stars. (我向你飞; fly to you)

One month into his stay on Mount Changming, Jing Beiyuan saw a ghost. (在天涯犹有未归人; those left at the edge of the sky)

The woods are naked spidery lines of ink where a yearling stands among the trees. (最后一场雪; last snow)

if i had to point out a pattern, or at least a commonality, i think i either favor openers where 1. something has just happened and the pov character is reconciling it or 2. something happened once and will be relevant later somehow. these two points probably just described most openings in general, though #4 adheres to neither. we love a contrarian girlie

there will be overlap tags in this! @vinelark @yuebings @microcomets @cafecliche @cairoscene

#looked at my ff7r wip and it adheres to pattern 1 while my elden ring wip adheres to pattern 2 #i am nothing if not a predictable woman

@neverthelessbutterflies​ asked for favorite cdrama characters in another post! HERE WE GO with a top five off the top of my head

FAVORITE CDRAMA CHARACTERS

chu xuanji, love and redemption. im limiting myself to one L&R character, otherwise that’d be the whole list :’D but i love xuanji so much. she’s clueless, she’s funny, she’s the god of war with a 10 lifetime long vendetta against heaven, nbd. has the best power-up song in cdrama

li cheng yin/gu xiaowu, goodbye my princess. A REAL PIECE OF SHIT. but so magnetic and fascinating to watch. cheng yin would be the villain in any other drama, but in his own he’s the male lead and holy shit the way chen xing xu could turn on a dime from happy puppy in love with his wife to unhinged future emperor was incredible

cheng shaoshang/niao niao, love like the galaxy. this might be premature, since the show hasn’t finished airing, but i adore niao niao. she’s a STEM nerd who has a wicked streak to her and she’s just a really fun and engaging female lead. you get why she has three suitors!

sheng minglan, the story of minglan. a really unique cdrama lead-- she’s incredibly clever, but also works within the constraints of society at the time (no weirdly anachronistic mannerisms to show she’s intelligent) and oh, god, does this poor girl need a hug. gu tingye was also great fun-- i had a hard time deciding between them

ma zitan/prince an’ping, the rebel princess/monarch industry. LOOK I KNOW. in a drama full of amazing characters, i dont understand why i love zitan the most of all of them. but he was so perfectly useless, confused about what drama he was in, and hilariously self-involved that he just delighted me every time he was on screen. best moment was poppa wang showing up in an emperor’s outfit and kicking him off the big boy chair

honorable mentions

ziqui, go ahead

jin yu & wu ji, sound of the desert

qian qian & han shou, romance of tiger and rose

su can can, wait my youth

hao du and princess leyan from the long ballad

everyone in monarch industry

almost everyone in love and redemption

#love and redemption #goodbye my princess #love like the galaxy #story of minglan #monarch industry #cdrama #asks!

The Long Ballad

I have watched 12 episodes. Well, it reminded me why this story is good. Li Changge is resourceful and intelligent, so her character works really well in an adventurous, political story. With a character like her, the plot is bound to move forward, because if she is not making up a plan, she is in the middle of executing a plan. This of course also means she has agency which makes her more interesting.

The only thing I am not enjoying is Li Leyan’s plot line. She is a typical sweet princess who is now kidnapped. I am afraid any kidnapping plot lines have been ruined for me for a long time.

Also I see no point for Li Leyan’s kidnapping plot line, she served her purpose at the beginning of the story by adding to Changge’s drama, but as a character on her own she is simply not interesting.
