What the gay is this??

Don't worry. I will protect you. Protect you for a lifetime. No matter if it's your lifetime, or mine.

This dialogue! The eye contact! The romantic music! Did iQ expect this to pass review when they filmed it? I guess everyone was wilding out after Word of Honor. 🤣 If this is indicative of all the dangai that is gathering dust in the vault, we need to see it. Why can't they just release it on overseas platforms? At least they could make some money off it instead of having it be a total loss.

This series is going to be the end of me, isn't it?

Just when I thought that the adaptation couldn't get any gayer than the novel, I am assaulted with what looks like Ruan Nanzhu's best attempts to seduce Lin Jiushi — all through his eyes. I'm crying laughing etc. because the constraints placed upon a live adaptation regarding its content has once again created magic and given us thirsty viewers what is undoubtedly the most delicious homoerotic tension in a c-drama. And yes, you would note that I didn't use UST here, because, well, Ruan Nanzhu is a consummate player. He doesn't do UST. He does this.

He looks at Lin Jiushi like he hung the moon for him, and it's palpable in his every look. Xia Zhiguang has done such a good job of nailing his body language and micro-expressions to reflect that.

There is one scene in particular in ep 40 when Lin Jiushi knocks on his door and Ruan Nanzhu gets up to see who it is. He was all dashing Victorian charm lazing on the armchair, but at the sound of the knock, he becomes fully alert and walks all the way to the door to ask who it is, fully knowing that it would be Lin Jiushi.

And then Lin Jiushi's voice is heard and you can see the way his jaw works into a smile.

Lin Jiushi asks him whether he was sleeping, and Ruan Nanzhu remarks, that no, he was waiting for Lin Jiushi to come to his room.

RIP

The bottomline is well, that there is no bottomline to this adaptation. It's danmei through and through, more so because of the sublimated desire in the acting, especially by Xia Zhiguang, who is just incredible as Ruan Nanzhu.

Watch me lose my mind over this.

wow, you are not subtle

I'm sorry your boyfriend's an idiot

Ruan Nanzhu being shamelessly possessive over Ling Jiushi (The Spirealm / Kaleidoscope of Death)

Just throwing together some fun moments (nothing too spoiler-y) from the episodes I've watched thus far! Jealous and pouty RNZ is the best lol. He's got a wealth of tools at his disposal that's he's unashamed to employ to monopolize LJS.

Ep. 10 - RNZ invoking Confucianism to prevent his boi from sleeping away from him 🤣

Ep. 16 - RNZ performing 'sa jiao' or acting 'moe' to reclaim his boi's attention

Ep. 22 - RNZ invoking 'professionalism' to block any attempts to get close to his boi

-

Please pardon my low quality gifs and crappy sub overlay lol. I don't blog gifs that often... just wanted to share some fun moments in advance since I know the subs are going to take a bit to come out!

Tatiana Maslany wearing a shirt that says ‘SUPPORT TRANS FUTURES’ on it to promote She-Hulk for Marvel Studios and Disney, and therefore forcing them to have that on their social medias for the world to see, including who knows how many queer kids and their guardians, is fucking awesome and I thank her for that.
