I just realized Shen Yuan being an 'anti-fan' for PIDW then gets transmigrated into PIDW as Shen Qingqiu who uses fans

directors using colorful or "impossible" lighting to convey mood and meaning and beauty my beloved. directors making night scenes impossible to see for the sake of realism my beloathed.

the angel and demon on the shoulder symbolism oh im sick

[cemeterything]

stabbing as a metaphor for penetration is great but when are we going to talk about pressing down on where someone is wounded to disarm them or just to be cruel while fighting. does nobody else care about the perverse intimacy of knowing exactly where to touch to overpower someone. the grotesque vulnerability of it. especially if you're the one who wounded them in the first place.

Feng Shui Guy's Dimensional Horror

I just woke up from a dream where the Feng Shui guy explains a horrifying existential loop. It started out with him explaining that there were 3 sets of snakes tied by their ends (I think they were cobras??). A set of 2 snakes, a set of 5, and I can't remember how many for the last one, but I'd guess like 10.

Pictured in the video was a lot of storage containers neatly assembled in an endless maze. Something you'd see out of a liminal space game/video. As the camera looks down, you see the storage containers organized to make a square pit in the middle of them. There, many snakes lay. With light yellow eyes reflecting the light from above, it looks like they glow with hatred. They writhe around in distress with their fangs bared and all are tied by their ends.

The Feng Shui guy explains and shows in video that if you drop a rock into the mess of snakes, they chase you down the hallway. When you reach the next hallway, your center of gravity changes and you stand on the neighboring side of the storage container. The snakes don't chase you once you reach that side, because the hallway you were previously in is now a hole. A hole the snakes lay in that is identical to the last one.

So, now you know!

I love the symbolism in this scene. Whilst both Husk and Angel are bound and trapped by their contracts, Angel has a more messy and enveloping commitment to Valentino with some flexibility all around (being able to stay at the hotel and so on) whereas Husk is more tightly bound and his bindings are concentrated showing how Alastair has made a cleaner deal, yet Husk cannot get out of being a bartender at the hotel.
