tell us abt 孝: or, confucianism is a bitch !

(@lizardlicks)

okayyy it's an old-ish idea that i've had kicking around for a while. but the idea is ozai offs himself in prison and zuko has a bunch of contradictory feelings about it. and it's an exploration of how confucian ideas of filial piety and obligation clash against a more conscious acknowledgment of the harms done by a parent

anyway reikah also suggested i could have a parallel timeline where zuko's in the present being a lovely dad to izumi which i like the idea of. but i have so many pressing wips i think this one will be on the backburner for a while

why would you play changgexing music when i'm already crying!!

tea and solitude

(a little zhongven-ish thing i wrote for a random competition)

Despite the late hour, the city never had been more lively. The moon hung high in the sky, though the light reflected by it drowned in the lights of the lanterns on the ground.

Golden specks reflected in the lotus ponds and the eyes of children running through the bustling streets, holding lanterns of their own or tangren on sticks, that also amazed any foreigners who had travelled the distance to witness the festivities.

The air was pregnant with a variety of scents, sweet and smoke and spice convoluted into the event's very own fragrance that was as familiar to him as the back of his hand.

The wood underneath him creaked with every new figure that made their way onto the bridge over the street, the perfect spot for a view of the harbour.

Sitting at a small table, he held onto his cup of tea, a small cloud raising from it in the autumn cold and his gloved fingers tracing the porcelain absentmindedly.

A child holding tanghulu ran by the table, causing it to shake a bit with its steps. The man held onto his tea as he stared into the cup, reminiscing.

No amount of lanterns and laughter managed to take away the inherent numbness of his heart, though.

Sipping on his tea as if it could give him back the warmth he had missed, he looked up at the sky, a few stray sky lanterns rising into the darkness until they vanished.

He had seen this sight more often than anyone and not everytime it had been lanterns vanishing.

The other seats at the table were empty, one by one had been abandoned through the course of time until he was left with no one to share the tea with.

With every one of his friends leaving, a numbness clung to his heart, a stone in his stomach that not the best tea in the world could melt, nor the warmth of any lantern.

Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath. Around him was noise, around him was laughter and shouting and music and life, something he had witnessed ceasing.

After millennia, he was still in the same spot. The landscape had changed, structures had fallen and risen like the tide, and every opening of his eyes brought upon a new day, though nevertheless as empty as the one before.

A gust of wind ruffled his hair and clothes, bringing a sweet scent of apples and wine, and upon opening his eyes, he watched the steam from his cup swerve like a sail. In the dark tea a pair of light eyes reflected, a warm smile on a soft face.

“Would you mind if i joined you here, 老朋友?”

The words reached his ears like a long forgotten ballad, still the same after all this time and immediately recognized by the beating heart in his heavy chest.

They had come after all.

A hand was extended, pale fingers on a package sliding it across the table until it reached the middle. The same fingers unwrapped it with sweet care, and revealed mooncakes.

The same fingers had waved at him in the past, had held him as if to keep him from falling apart, had become his anchor until they had disappeared into the depths and left him behind.

One of the mooncakes was taken by the other, and a smile still plastered onto their face.

“Have some, you look a bit empty”

He was. He had been empty ever since his friends had passed, one by one vanishing either into the afterlife or the world.

But seeing this familiar smile across from him, the warm glow of the lanterns shining onto them, the heavy rock in his stomach was replaced by a softness.

He smiled, and for the first time in a while it had been genuine. This gained a soft chuckle from the person across, who raised the mooncake to their lips and bit into the golden dough.

He finally reached for a mooncake himself, and the sweetness melted his sorrows for a night.

Tangren Media artists Hu Ge and Hu Bingqing pose for pics together at CCTV’s 2024 drama press conference event

[myhamartiaishubris]

If y'all are like, 'hey yo cang lan jue was so good but everything else is shit, I wonder why that is' then have I got good news for you beCAUSE

The showrunners were reportedly inspired by early Tangren productions, which I totally believe from the themes to the romance to the score. Early Tangren has some really good stuff (a lot of which involves Hu Ge) but I'd like to present my own personal bias:

Chinese Paladin 3 (仙剑奇侠传3)

It's got those similar themes of love, destiny, duty, and waiting (so much waiting), and the soundtrack is an absolute banger. And it's only 36 episodes because early Tangren knew how to do good pacing.

Chinese Paladin 1 is also very good, but CP3 is my childhood so it holds a special place in my heart. And if you're wondering why there's no CP2, that's because the CP franchise is a game series and only 1 and 3 were adapted (we don't talk about 5).

(Apparently they're remaking CP1 for some godforsaken reason and we all know it's gonna be shit.)

[dangermousie]

And now I am reading the novel Sound of the Desert is based on.

Or at least Huo Qu Bing parts (I will always be amused that Tong Hua wrote this novel because she’s a HQB fangirl and wanted him to have a happy ending at least in fiction since he never got it in real life. So this is RPF 😝)

I remember when the drama sat on the shelves forever because even in those much more lax times censors had fits at the thought of great national icon ditching the empire to go live happily with his family elsewhere. Tangren finally said fuck it and changed all the names (which would probably not be enough today but back then…) But yeah it’s Huo Qu Bing RPF and that makes me happy!

PS too bad The Fated General didn’t try that - just change all the names and let me get my bloody HQB epic I want! Though it probably won’t fly as a fix nowadays unlike a decade ago.

Just some addition to the anon who asked you about BBJX, I just watched it last year and it's so good, better than the Korean adaptation. For international fans it's known as Scarlet Heart (2011). The theme song (Three Inches of Heaven, am I correct?) for me so far is the best theme song in a C-Drama I heard apart from Liu Tao song in Nirvana in Fire. By the way have you watched the part 2 of Scarlet Heart? Was it good?

Yes, Three Inches of Heaven was the ending theme, it got pretty popular at the time!

I watched part of BBJX 2 while it was airing but didn't have a strong impression of it. From what I can remember, it was mostly recreating the story from the first drama/novel in modern times. The original story was very much finished so the sequel is definitely not necessary to watch. It's basically fanservice, but it can satisfy a craving if you want to relive some of the iconic moments of the original.
