Super fun design for this obi depicting past and present Nihonbashi as an infinite swirling roadway/waterway. I love how design mixes Edo-era bridge and river, with the far more modern Tokyo expressway!

A fitting design for you @todayintokyo don't you think ;)?

#thought about giffing the whole scene but i like the mood of this part right here #being caught up in your own anxieties while your girl is trying to offer you some calming tea #avatar the last airbender #atlaedit #maiko #zuko #mai #gif #evie's gifs #ALSO i've always loved how he apparently stayed the night there...like he was NOT about to go back home and deal with his family's bullshit #(i'm pretty sure he stayed at mai's? this was first thing the next morning and i doubt the servants would have let him go out without his -#hair fixed? considering how the day before they wouldn't even let him walk there instead of taking the palanquin lol)

[Here she comes in her palanquin. On the back of an elephant. On a bed made of linen and sequins and silk. All astride on her father's line. With the king and his concubines. And her nurse, with her pitchers of liquors and milk. And we'll all come praise the infanta. And we'll all come praise the infanta.]

makin my way through the new tgcf edition(!!!) and one thing i noticed that doesn’t come across in the english translation is how much the ghost groom plotline is clearly just meant to frame our first impression of hua cheng.

the phrase for ‘ghost groom’ is 鬼新郎 (gui xin lang)— the same 郎 in san lang (三郎). ‘red wedding palanquin’ is 红花轿 (hong hua jiao) — literally “red flower palanquin”. then obviously hua cheng appears and escorts xie lian out of the palanquin, and even begins to lift the veil. the villain turns out to not be a groom at all, so the entire point of the misdirect was to create this association

so when hua cheng rolls up five minutes later, dressed in red, and introduces himself as ‘san lang’, to the reader there’s a huge blinking sign over his head reading

HUSBAND!!!! GHOST HUSBAND!!!!

#tgcf #tgcf meta #hua cheng #my hyperfixation demon #rereading tgcf #like the thing is those are just the normal words for the things. groom. palanquin.#but it’s obviously chosen on purpose to create those associations #it’s so obvious and on the nose even in the english trans. but the identical words really. stands out. in the chinese #in a way i didn’t pick up on as strongly in the english #just thought this was a fun translation bit to share #my chinese is real bad guys but reading tgcf is so fun #meta stuff

to Edward, sit down the cushion and we will carry you inside the palanquin with parted curtains and poles

Edward: *Curious and maybe slightly suspicious. Is this one of Bill and Ben's tricks? Better play it safe.* Oh my. Well, I certainly appreciate for the offer. But I'm quite happy right here, thank you.
