clj 23 (1/2)
ugh clj always does come in clutch with the set designs
HE’S GETTING JEALOUS OVER JIELI CALLING ANOTHER GUY DUMB???? god he’s so funny. they’re all like the most incompetent 21 year olds you’ve ever met
this episode is genuinely hilarious I do love it
they forcibly clownified my girl....
what an incredible reaction. I love immortal changheng. he sees a weird woman living her truth and wearing wild makeup and an unmatching outfit who’s rude and flouts convention and he goes ‘I respect your game and in fact I’d like to rise to meet it’ WHAT a man. in my makeupless and fashion-ignorant state of being I really do appreciate someone who won’t reject a person out of hand for things like that, and instead finds value in their perspective and attitudes
also this sounds like an alternate universe where wwx didn’t meet lwj as a teenager but did meet someone else even more unhinged than him and decided they’re new besties because he admires the commitment. bit ooc because nobody in canon could beat wwx for that unless they were really deranged (xy) and tbh wwx seems to like calmer and more collected people the most (jyl, wen ning, wen qing, lwj) maybe bc they balance him and help ground him, but fun to imagine. he’s also buddies with nhs but they’re not super close and his relationship w jc is a bit complicated to get into in the lb of another show but like. you get it
dude :( this is so sad. he’s crushed. he’s weeping? aw man
yeah the love interests can’t talk politics :/
oh this is gorgeous! inspired by @bipirate, I also wondered if romance associated with lantern-releasing was a trope in cdramas, so I did a cursory google search for it. I didn’t come up with anything, but it’s a beautiful visual and a meaningful event relating to hopes and wishes and new starts (new year’s), so, like american new year’s, I can see how it lends itself to romance very easily even if not inherently romantic. wwx and lwj simultaneously and independently give their oaths that tie them together philosophically through the years, and xy and zf have their moment by the river, but wq and nhs also gave wishes that were completely unrelated to romance. interesting to consider!
WOW I know we’re on ep23 but that’s so forward of him
oh lmao. good for you girl
sorry but the chemistry is not working out for me. it’s going to take more than vaguely disliked and overused tropes like bickering and fake marriage and bodyswap to forget the way he treated her just a few episodes ago

The soul does not lie
synopsis: Sukuna allows tedious nonsense when he can feel your soul's cravings.
〰・♡・〰〰・♡・〰〰・♡・〰〰・♡・〰〰・♡・〰
Though he hardly mentions it, Sukuna can, in fact, feel your soul in a way that a normal sorcerer never could. Knowing this helps to make sense of the fact that the man can always tell when you are distressed, even when you try to hide it.
You had discovered this little ability of his when he had come stomping in from the gardens one day while you watched unblinkingly at a horror film.
With your eyes only visible through the slots of your fingers you looked up to see him standing, arms crossed, in the entry way of his chambers.
"What is it that brings you fear?" He had thundered.
"W-what... no, nothing, I'm just watching a movie, see?" You flipped your phone around for the man too see but he did not take his eyes off your form.
"I do not repeat myself." His four eyes were squinted and his eyebrows arched in a dangerously attractive way.
"Kuna' it's a horror movie, that's all, I'm not really scared." You finally announced to the rolling of four red eyes.
"Your soul states otherwise." He quipped before drawing close to try and see what had your soul trembling so fearfully. He was disappointed, to say the least when he was unable to identify what was so "horrific" about your film.
And that marked the moment you realized that Sukuna was able to feel you in a way you could not understand.
Sukuna was NOT a gentleman, he was far, far from it. He loved to bring terror to the masses, very rarely did he allow another beings to so much as speak in his presence. He did, however, have "soft spots" for creatures that sparked his interest, and those remarkably loyal.
Even so, he did not make efforts to calm your nerves when you were anxious. He did not feel the slightest effect in his chest when your sorrow was palpable. He would certainly not allow for time to be wasted on your souls quivering's. That-was none of his concern.
It was not as if he was taking any actions when he allowed your pathetic "cuddling" nonsense when he felt the pangs of misery that surrounded your essence.
You had tried to hold him in the past but he did not see the use in wrapping oneself around another. Even so, he found himself pretending to sleep (even though he did not need it) when he sensed your desperation for his touch.
Likewise, when he could feel the shaky and childish excitement that bled from your soul when you were happy, he could not seem to help but humor you.
As mentioned, Sukuna does not require sleep like your helpless human form. Still, it was not uncommon for the king of curses to close his eyes, relaxing in his ultimate power. Be it when he bathes, when he is lounging on his palace's engawa, when he is seated on his throne, or even when he reclines himself along his chamber's bed.
Sukuna had his eyes closed one evening, feeling his power splay out from his body, grasping at the forms of everyone within his domain. When he sensed your spirit, quickly approaching his chambers.
He made the decision then to seem uninterested when you clambered through the doors.
He could hear the switch in your step as you drew in a breath, clearly forgetting what you had wished to say at the sudden image before you.
The bloodthirsty man had never looked more like a jungle cat, lying atop his bed in such a lazy fashion. He felt the exact moment your soul leapt. He knew you had covered your mouth as your heavy breathing had dulled despite your heartbeat climbing to unusual heights.
He knew of your antics. Having felt you chew on each of his biceps several times. You had that same giddiness now. It was simply that he did not care to move that he kept his eyes closed. Pretending not to notice as you took out your phone, your feet dancing around him. He'll allow you to take your ridiculous photos, he's too... relaxed... to... take issue with your senseless mischief.
He could tell you had finished when he heard you pocket your phone once more, your hands covering your beating heart, you leaned down, holding your breath. The king of curses had to keep himself from squishing his face in ....disgust.... as you planted a chaste kiss in the space between his lower eye and his upper lip.
"You're too precious." You quietly whisper. Brushing your hand softly through his hair. And Sukuna rolled his eyes behind his lids.
Such foolishness he has never seen. Even so- he will allow it.
