Fourteen, schmorteen

I wasted a whole day actually working instead of watching and live bloggin, ah well.

zzz's smile is so pretty. I kind of miss him being bitchy and grumpy all the time but i DO like getting to see that smile more.

so netflix tried to make me watch thirteen again so that last one wasnt relevant to 14 but its true and I should say it anyway.

Wen Kexing coming to rescue his boyfriend from being felt up for medical reasons is... well im having a lot of feelings about it.

is the seven nails thing well known outside of window of heaven? like is wkx just going to see the Extra Nipples and be like "i mean doesnt seem average but neither am I lets bang" or do we all know about this kind of thing and its shock and horror. One is significantly funnier.

WHY ARE YOU BEING NICE HE SAY, JEALOUSLY

is this a translation thing or are we jsut rehashing last episodes revelations for a more Emotional Moment

disrobe right there zzz do it.

picking fights because my boyfriend is dying and a pretty boy has solutions he doesnt want and im jealous and sad.

lmao i love that zhou zishu has a moment where he like. Forgets to resist to someone (Wen Kexing, conveniently) trying to open his robes for just a second

Nipples still

Sadge boy

because he's sweet on him thats why he came too

BOY "why yes I am whipped thank u for noticing"

SaDGE RaIN moMEnT

Oh more Present Music. Important conversations.

Ah okay theres the ableism

but like at least they're being honest about how much they... treasure each other. I'm going to presume by this point in the book they're already sucking face or this blowup is waaaaaaay bigger

i mean zzz he's allowed to be sad youre dying. YOU KINDA SPRUNG IT ON HIM he's allowed to not want you to die and to feel like he's missed his chances.

oh she's going to try to kill a bitch

soulful xiao playing. we in sad boy hours again

too sad to be emotionally available for you Gu Xiang, sorry about that.

Everyone you love dies, and now you're sad you got invested also two years is still A WHILE

uh oh the intense eyes are coming back who ARE you gonna kill while crying?

THE XIAO GOT THE KILLING WHILE CRYING I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT I did not know i was this emotionally invested in the fucking flute

what fun costume designing

Zhao Jing seems like the least shitty of the sworn brothers, am I about to change my mind

also goddamn his lapels/collars honestly his whole outfit

whoops she over saturated the mic there

memory unlock, eh?

i mean he cheated in some capacity? hard to get the full context here since i know im wading through translations and localizations

at least he's not reveling in it.

Moody Memorial what could go wrong.

MAN the costume designer for Shen Shen went the fuck OFF. his fits are seriously the best in the show. The use of texture and contrast in them is alwyas so fucking cool wish i liked him lmao

i mean you raided one of their manors and killed a bunch of maids im just saying you probably shoul expect retaliation at a thing you care a lot about

okay but imagine they just throw the joss around for like an hour and they ruin it via it wont be clean

oh okay so not gthost valley and i basically called it lmao

OH i kinda thought she'd killed him. aight

outfits are different colors so you can Tell. or maybe inconsistent color grading but im live with the belief its intentional because it would be sensible

is it still a weimao on him does taht count as a weimao crossing in front of the face like that? one wonders.

also is it zzz or zzs and i just thought zzz didnt fit the normal conventions but the fuck do I know? will need to investigate further lol pretty sure ive seen it as zzz a few times but also z and s are visually similar so like. who knows man

Word of Honor Liveblog

Episode one lets gooooo.

Why are these laterns SO Big? Is this going to be a plot point? OH BECAUSE ITS PEOPLE lkajf;sdlkfj Strong fucking start I love it

How to make all of these scenes just A Little moodier: put on your yellow computer glasses because you're in your 30s now.

Did... did they CGI his hat on? No its just. Weird the camera doesn't like the fabric or SOMEHING it looks like a big sticker. anyway

The dramatic metal sounds and the typewriter finished line TING sounds are amazing. Inspired Foley choices.

the popped collar. Okay so this si going to be more Costuming Commentary Hour I guess. but how much interfacing do you think they shoved in that thing to get it to stay upright with those ornaments/clasps stuck in, too?

the singular chair open to the elements is maybe not sensible but man what a cool fucking shot

Seven nails exposition. Urine Town has forever changed how i view exposition dumps in shows. goddamnit.

OKAY BUT THEY LOOK LIKE EXTRA NIPPLES IM SORRY

what cheekbones though goodness me

oh boy emperor dude is MAD he about to kill a bitch. I feel it. disrobing in court seems like the kind of thing for a PWP but *go on*

i love this level of dramatic explosion

SORRY ARE YOU SAYING ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS ARE ASSASINS FOR YOU DO YOU THINK THATS HEALTHY

you're welcome for getting to stab me ✨✨

Local theater nerd assassin, coming to a roadside inn near you, apparently.

WHAT ARE THESE NEW HATS

kink gone wrong.

Millinery in these shows is simply on a whole other level. I am discovering so many new hatshapes and i love them all.

also the vertical pleats built into the front of the outfits is sssssssuuuch a good look.

left line looks like an cosplay contest the bright colors the stand-out outfit designs. the literal scythe.

goddamn everyones an asshole today I see.

WEN KEXING LETS GO GU XIANG LETS GOOOO. I've been promised a horrible goose!!

THE MOST EXTRA WAY TO SHARE A DRINK GIRL

immediate GAY. i love this lmao

Man yeah okay i am in love with Gu Xiang. what a brat who gave her a whip and Stronk? Terrible idea, I fully approve.
