‘Strategic retreat’ as demonstrated by Iron Triangles A and B

[hils79]

Title: Flavours of Love

Fandom:  盗墓笔记重启 | The Lost Tomb Reboot (TV), 盗墓笔记 - 南派三叔 | The Grave Robbers' Chronicles - Xu Lei

Relationships: Wang Pangzi/Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling

Summary: 

“Tianzhen, I want to teach you how to cook.”

This isn’t the first time Pangzi has made this attempt. It’s not even the twentieth. Pangzi lost count some time after that. But he clings to the hope that somehow this time will be different. That somehow retirement has magically removed Wu Xie’s ability to burn food just by looking at it.

“Focus,” Xiaoge says softly but firmly from where he’s perched on the counter near the door. It’s where he likes to sit when he’s watching Pangzi cook anyway, and if he happens to be close enough that he can intervene if Wu Xie does something stupid then that’s just a bonus as far as Pangzi is concerned.

“I am focusing,” Wu Xie replies with a pout. “Ooh, can we make steamed buns? Or noodles? Or, oh, I saw these really nice looking dumplings in a Douyin video and—”

Pangzi pokes him gently in the shoulder to bring his attention back to the lesson at hand. “You’re trying to run before you can walk. Now, just take a breath and listen to your Pang-ye. If you listen and do well I’ll reward you at the end.”

This is what he has been reduced to. Bribing one of his lovers as though he were a small child. And the sad thing is it works. Wu Xie’s eyes light up at the sound of reward and he immediately gives Pangzi all of his attention.

“Good boy,” Pangzi says and he doesn’t miss the way something flashes in Wu Xie’s eyes at the praise. That’s something for the three of them to revisit later. In the bedroom.

“The first thing you need to do,” Pangzi says as he sets a few things down on the counter in front of Wu Xie, “is familiarise yourself with your tools.”

He can already feel himself regretting everything about this venture when he picks up one of the kitchen knives. It’s not his best knife. He wouldn’t even let Xiaoge touch his best knife so he’s certainly not going to let Wu Xie near it.

“This is the most important utensil in the entire kitchen,” Pangzi says as he hands it over to Wu Xie.

“I know how to use a knife, Pangzi,” Wu Xie points out and then touches the blade with the tip of his finger to see how sharp it is. Blood wells immediately and Wu Xie hisses a curse.

sima yi: why does that strategist gao yizhi call you babygirl?

shimin: how about we stop talking for a little while.

(the idea came from here)

[bitterflames]

who has that kind of money, xiao hua

[adhd-mess]

Zetian thinking Shimin is glaring at her, and taking that as a reason to hate him, when he’s actually just squinting bc he needs glasses is just so fucking funny istg

Shimin: *squints*

Zetian: “oh he’s trying to intimidate me! I must kill him!”

Tibetan Sea Flower Trailer 2

[dmbjakathepits]

One of my favourite tropes - covering your LO with a blanket. So comfy, so warm, so intimate. Something the Iron Triangle does very well and often.

Wu Xie covering Xiaoge

Wu Xie covering Pangzi

Pangzi covering Wu Xie

Pangzi covering Wu Xie again

Yep, these shows are completely het, no doubt about it. No gay agendas, nope, nada, nothing.

Shimin: Isn’t it weird that we pay money to see other people?

Sima Yi: Plane tickets?

Yizhi: Concert tickets?

Zetian: Prostitution?

Shimin, holding his broken frames: Glasses.

this is such a funny photo to me. pangzi: it's not what it looks like xg internal monologue: i told you two to stay put. why are you messing with the coffin. i looked away for two seconds and here you are doing weird things again. xg: 😐

[queeraroace]

Feeling completely normal about the tenderness Shimin and Yizhi show each other after a life of abuse while Zetian brings pure feral rage to the table (but is also soft for her boys...sometimes)... Haha... So normal about badass disability rep and queer rep being shown through literal and metaphorical transcending of our physical forms... AND THE NONSTOP ONSLAUGHT OF THE PATRIARCHY THROUGH MECHAS...... VERY NORMAL
