It’s been touching to see the outpouring of love after the untimely passing of L.A. icon, Venice legend and Born X Raised founder Spanto. Here’s a memorial tribute in Venice Beach by Jonas Never with Anice and Eyrek on the lettering.

Reviews (summaries) of a few of the drama adaptations for [Legend of the Condor Heroes]/ 「射鵰英雄傳」 from the last three decades:

*Drama posters are from oldest to latest (from left to right, top to bottom)

1983 version (starring Barbara Yung and Felix Wong):

Too young to remember and never rewatched. A feted classic from Hong Kong TVB’s heyday. The only thing I will unequivocally say I love about this version is the iconic theme songs, which are the only musical tracks I can easily recall and identify when it comes to the numerous adaptations.

1994 version (starring Athena Chu and Julian Cheung):

First love. Good performances. Beautiful and ultra-cute JingRong. Favourite balance of visuals for JingRong. Solid production (HK TVB). Newish classic. Faithful to the main storylines. The version which made me fall for Guo Jing and the saga. Sometimes, however, first love only goes so far.

2003 version (starring Zhou Xun and Li Ya Peng):

Gritty. Jiang Hu. Sweeping epic. Mature vibes. Tragic and heartbreak-tinged. Faithful to the main storylines. Brilliant JingRong. Elegantly cultured Huang Rong. Earnestly chivalrous Guo Jing. Love both the portrayals of Guo Jing and Huang Rong (despite the many criticisms received). Loved the veteran gravitas of many of the supporting casts. Performances were fabulous. My only gripe is with Yang Kang (and his actor, Zhou Jie, whose performance I was not especially partial to, but he did okay though). The best Mongolian segment(s) out of all adaptations. Favourite drama adaptation (to date). The main and ending theme songs are fantastic, and the opening track has quite an epic saga feel.

(Some audience disliked ZX’s portrayal, and criticisms abound about her using her own voice during the show - which is a bit husky - but I had absolutely no issues with it. I thought the criticisms weirdly petty, actually. As someone who does not find dubs at all nice, I appreciated her using her own voice/dub for the series. LYP also received his fair share of criticisms for his portrayal. Personally, I enjoyed both tremendously).

2008 version (starring Ariel Lin and Hu Ge):

An adaptation I skipped as neither mains appealed to me, and Liu Shi Shi as Mu Nian Ci was not enough of a draw to make me trudge through an adaption I read was not particularly faithful to the novels. Visuals and vibes wise, I just could not see Hu Ge as Guo Jing - which is simply a personal preference - but I do not doubt that his performance/portrayal would have been fine. That goes for the rest of the cast and their performances.

2017 version (starring Li Yi Tong and Yang Xu Wen):

Pretty. Vibrant aesthetics. Wuxia vibes. Relatively youthful. Commendable production. Sweet, lovey-dovey and affectionate JingRong. Cutie - and handsome - Guo Jing. Excellent Huang Rong. Faithful to the main storylines. Highly enjoyable. Main instrumental track a clever nolstagic callback to the classic Hong Kong songs/themes. Good production. Superb performances overall.

(I found this version’s GJ a bit too prettily handsome, which is lovely but also felt a bit not-GJ. Still enjoyed his portrayal a lot though).

2024 version (starring Bao Shang En and Ci Sha):

Strong Wuxia vibes. Solid aesthetics and production. Youthful. Squee-worthy JingRong. Adorably devious Huang Rong. Favourite Guo Jing and JingRong (to date). Wonderful performances all around. Faithful to the main storylines. Some distinct emotional beats.

Especially noteworthy was the beautifully shot and conveyed scenes from near the end during GJ’s mental and spiritual struggles with his grief and martial abilities. Superbly done and went to the heart of the novel’s themes.

Flaws included pacing and issues with storylines length. Uneven focus. Lack of epic-ness.

(Ci Sha is not really my cup-of-tea visuals wise but he looked and felt like what Guo Jing *should* be and his performance was compelling and layered. His portrayal embodied the 靖 of 郭靖, and I think that meant something significant. He truly came into his own by the last third when the confidence and composure GJ cultivated throughout the series made his nuanced portrayal fangirl-scream worthy. *fainting away* Love his steady, gentle and devoted GJ to bits. The focus and complexity they afforded Yang Kang in this version made him a much more complex and conflicted antagonist, which was fascinating. This Wanyan Hong Lie inspired major feelings for a character I already found especially interesting and tragi-complex since the 2003 adaptation. The soft-spot I have for him is too real).

I know they'd have to interact more first but I'm quite curious on if Saturn has a kid with knuckles

Mixing practically a space god with an echidna that can control the master emerald. I think it'd be pretty cool

✧ If they had a kid meme | @sxturn-bxrs ✧

Name: Cassiopeia

Gender: Non-binary (they/them)

General Appearance: Echidna Hybdrid with a longer and fluffier tail, spiked knuckles, and long claws; Rosewood quills (#5c0002), Vanilla Ice chest floof, horns, and tips (#efd7d7), Chashmere skin tone (#e6c29e). Wears their quills long and with golden rings, the tuff at the top of their head is slicked back and in a mohawk like style with a few strands hanging in their face. Aqua Squeeze colored eyes (#e6f6f6) with black sclera.

Personality: Is very quiet and like their space, can come off as a bit grumpy and a little stand-offish with others. They tend to be a loner. Can be very blunt with their words and have a sassy mouth but underneath that they can be kind and gentle. Strong sense of justice.

Special Talents: Super Strength, Chaos Control, Energy Sensing, Shadow Portals, and Star-Based Powers.

Who they like better: They love both their parents; but tend to favor Nathan/Saturn

Who they take after more: Knuckles

Personal Head Canon: Hates anything sour, loves knitting, has a knack for baking, loves stargazing and knowledgeable about astrology, loves spelunking in caves and unknown ruins, loves singing, hates mornings and is a night owl, prefers winter, and can mimic other's voices. They're also very fluent in multiple languages and can pick them up pretty quickly; a trait they share with their father Knuckles. They also like metalwork and tinkering with mechanics, especially motorcycles.

Face Claim: N/A

@sxturn-bxrs wanted a plotted starter <3

It took time, and recovery process for his ankle, but the tanuki had a place to live. A small apartment, maybe, but it was his own place, free from the judgmental stares of everyone he knew once upon a time. Maybe he'd send his family a letter someday. Not yet, though, he wasn't ready to see them again, no matter how badly he wanted to shove it in their face that he'd made something of himself.

As a waiter.

Kounosuke was just on his way home, when he stumbled upon the other, seated against a building. He didn't have the heart to just ignore them, even though he'd commonly been ignored when he first arrived.

"Hey you. What are you doing here all by yourself? The sun will go down any minute now."

“Dan good to see you..been awhile yes? We really should catch up more. ”

His appearance was slightly different as in his face and height being taller, but otherwise it was him. Sometimes he just preferred this form of shift, it felt more comfortable and himself.

“ Care for lunch or are you too busy for ol me ”

"If I were too busy, you wouldn't be seeing me right now. Its nice to see you too.....though I must say you look a little different than usual, decided for a makeover? Hehe." Not able to resist being a little cheeky in both regards but it was all just in good fun.

If anything it was nice to have a friend wanting to hang out so of course he was going to accept the offer eagerly.

"I'm always down for some food. you got anywhere in mind?"

“Simon what with this behavior this isn't how I remember you..” for MM!simon

-Betty

@sxturn-bxrs

Unprompted asks // always accepting

-> @sxturn-bxrs

Oh Betty, his sweet, sweet Betty. All of this had been for her, since he found her in this dimension. And perhaps he'd gone a tiny bit overboard, but it's been AGES since he's seen ANY version of her, so let him live a little!

He could conjure up anything her heart desires... a romantic, candlelit dinner, her favorite song is played by a violinist in the corner, the waiter brings them food with the snap of his fingers. He is sitting there, grinning, leaning way over the table towards her, eager spend time together again, completely disregarding any possibility of this reality's Simon finding them.

But... she responds in a way he hadn't expected. He tilts his head to the side, fingers laced together, smile never falters.

"Do you like it? I got a bit of a ✨magical upgrade✨," he points to the Magic Hat, "I was a sad, sad man before, Betty! Really, just no fun at all. And now look at me!" The epitome of happiness, and mental health!

"Go on, try the spaghetti, tell me what you think~!"
