Solomon constantly asking for your reassurance whenever he engages in anything romantic is due to his insecurity that he isn’t as important to you as the brothers. He needs to know you want to do this, he needs to know you love him.

If you say no he immediately backs off. You have to go out of your way to kiss him. There’s never a dialogue option that leads to a kiss without you explicitly asking for one, unlike some characters.

#obey me nightbringer #obey me shall we date #obey me solomon #obey me mc #he’s so scared that he’ll love you more than you’ll love him #that he’ll never be as important to you as you are him #sad boy hours :( #I want to hug and comfort him so much #small rant: it low key bothers me when people write about Mc and Solomon’s relationship as if the two aren’t incredibly close #MC willingly hangs out with him after he straight up asks you on a date #you’re two options are ‘omg yes I’d love to!’ and ‘got nothing better to do’ #<-neither are denials #MC spends an entire night with him regardless of you choice #if you choose to kiss him you get an extra scene in the next node with Asmo welcoming you after spending an entire night out #but if you don’t. it immediately cuts to Lucifer and you get no welcome home speech. if you don’t kiss him it literally ruins the pacing #canon Solomon sex scene? 👀

One thing I've learned rewatching Link Click:

Lu Guang is so full of shit

#Anton don't you read these tags we'll finish season 2 #But onto the rant #Bro really trying to come out here like “death is a node you can't change” “your rash actions have cost people lives” blah blah blah #YOU'RE SO FULL OF SHIT YOU GAY BOY #LOOK AT EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE #AND YOU WANT TO ACT LIKE YOU HAVE SOME MORAL SUPERIORITY #YOU'RE SO FULL OF SHIT #I want them to be happy..... #link click spoilers #link click #shiguang #shiguang daili ren #It's so fucking funny listening to him lie

[raiiny-bay]

the boy

#i figured out how to make the glare composite node work in blender :-) #yk what he seems like the type to have an instagram & be very specific about it #i should make a like. a mock ig page for him #that would be so fun #it'd be a mix of fashion & skateboarding #rainyrambles

just generally musing to myself what makes thematic and plot sense for the link clink ending after reading some other people's takes the past few days. no real conclusions here, just some thoughts tied together with a string.

I've seen arguments that what needs to happen is that Lu Guang needs to accept Cheng Xiaoshi's fate and move on without regrets. This idea that the past has to remain as-is and you have to move on is a thread that the show has played with quite a few times. It's written into the very rules underlying the dives. The most obvious instance being the earthquake arc, where Cheng Xiaoshi was unable to save Chen Xiao's mum, but he *was* able to deliver the messages and thereby help CX gain closure. It's laid out by Lu Guang that it *was* worth it to deliver the words, and Cheng Xiaoshi takes this conclusion with him when he confronts Emma. (Of course, the fact this lesson was given by *Lu Guang* casts a different shade over the whole affair. I don't think it can be entirely discarded, given LG even admits he's going against his own rules, but it reads more like something he's trying and failing to convince himself of.)

So, the past has to stay as it is. We see a few different approaches to this idea in s2 - of people refusing to move on and trying to change the past. Qian Jin wants to force his wife "not to cheat"; he wants to alter her behaviour because she didn't act as he wanted. Li Tianchen wanted to change how *he* acted back then, even if indirectly, because he sees himself as his mother's killer, and thinks this is the point at which his tragedy was locked into place. They both thought their 'tragedies' were down to a single event. It's not that simple.

Lu Guang wants to personally protect Cheng Xiaoshi by controlling all scenarios. Not exactly taking his will, but limiting his choices. There's probably a whole post to be made on how QJ/LTC/LG each approach the agency of the ones they want to protect, but that's not for now.

Anyway, Li Tianchen as the foil to Lu Guang. At the end of s2, he has in theory let go of Li Tianxi but in practice he's just burying himself deeper by following Liu Xiao. Trying to entirely shun the past so he can believe that he still has some element of control. Both LTC and LG are at the extreme ends of clinging on vs letting go and that means the correct answer has to lie somewhere in the middle. Not shunning the past, but accepting it, and using that resolve to move forward.

So, Liu Xiao. We don't have much on him but what we do have is his belief that uncertainties should become certainties. He's deterministic and set explicitly as the counter to Lu Guang, whose own aim is to change events rather than lock them into place. They both want to *control* all aspects, but for differing reasons. In fate vs free will, it makes sense that our protagonist is on the side of free will, but it's interesting that he's presented himself so much as the opposite previously. He and CXS haven't exactly switched places, but to the audience, they've definitely taken on traits of the other.

Liu Xiao's whole spiel about how all options will eventually lead to the same outcomes, with him set *against* Lu Guang, very much seems like it's a setup for a "defeat fate" type plotline though. It's hammered in that there is no escape, no other option. Are we expected to accept this? It doesn't seem so. It's something I'm struggling to reconcile somewhat with the earlier messages about accepting the past, but maybe that's not quite it. Maybe it's about control vs freedom?

Trust fall. Every dive with LG and CXS is an act of mutual trust where they need to act in tandem. Dives go astray when one party acts without the other. For CXS, this is about him acting against LG's instructions (texting Emma's parents, staying in the earthquake dive). For LG, this is about him withholding info because he doesn't trust how CXS will react.

Lu Guang needs to put his trust in CXS before his withholding of information creates an unresolvable rift. He needs to stop trying to control CXS in order to keep him safe. We saw how that spun out for Li Tianchen and Li Tianxi. LG needs to put the choice into Cheng Xiaoshi's hands and let him decide his own fate. It reminds me of how Cheng Xiaoshi laid everything out for Emma and let her decide whether to live. It was only outside interference that prevented her, but she did make the choice to survive. And she did it by remembering those small moments. By accepting that tragedy happens but there are still people that make it worth it.

For LG and CXS, they need to mutually trust each other and that's how they'll find their way through.

#also something about how nodes are always framed as yes/no this happens or it doesn't #when in reality they're the culmination of numerous decisions to get to any one place. #and so it'd be neat to see any 'fixes' take that into account though idk how deeply it'll go into that. #link click #link click spoilers #shiguang daili ren spoilers #also also. noodle ladies. I have thoughts on their resolution + how it ties into the 'there is no single answer' bc the rift wasn't actuall #about the secret ingredient. the secret ingredient was more a representation of yu xia forgetting their history. #but that's stuff still locked in my other drafts ig #edit: but also it's like. if you try to save/fix someone by controlling them that universally doesn't work out. #noodle lesbians and emma (pre-interference) were able to work things out because there was communication not control. #chen xiao communicated his wishes and that's how he got his closure. xss and dong yi's whole story was about communicating #and how the lack of it was actively inhibiting them

I love lu guang so much knowing now what he doesn't say out loud or is rather tsundere about it; some of the music performed throughout in the donghua non-diegetically tells the audience what he's thinking and feeling from his view point.

A real punch in the heart when i realized finished season 2 and went back to relistened to the music and rewatch season 1

#bro i love lu guang and cheng xiaoshi a normal amount i swear- #I havent even gotten to the musical DIEGETIC STORY TELLING AGHHH #“oh shit this things got other colors” meme but its realizing there are full versions of the songs from the ending and openings #i could cheng xiaoshi and lu guang share some songs but realizing confusingly that dive back in time is lu guang @ cxs knocked me out #i havent recovered since #been rewatching the show over and over like a maniac but its so- clenches fist #i feel for this boy #shiguang daili ren #mikh talks #I'm waiting for that reveal that he could actually just disappear from existence doing what hes doing bc he so badly wants to believe if- #anyone can surpass fate and the death node it would be cheng xiaoshi who could do it bc thats the kinda person he is #link click

i had my first physical therapy appointment today and they did the muscle manipulation (literally a massage) first thing on my shoulder and around my shoulder blade and OUHH it felt so good. all my muscles in my shoulder and shoulder blade and upper arm and fingers were like twitching and spasming the whole time and i thought i was gonna pass out it felt so nice. my physical therapists fingertips digging into and rubbing over my nerves and my muscles that feel like theyve been pinched and tensed up so bad since surgery 4 months ago > any narcotic pain medication on the market

#they stuck 4 different electric muscle stimulator nodes on my shoulder after and wrapped me the fuck up in a cervical heating pad #sat my ass down in a big fucking recliner and i was struggling to stay awake #borderline catatonic #got home and immediately passed out for 3 hours
