[lerelene]

OK Ok oh shit this is not a drill Ah Sahm and Yan Mi ooooooooh fuCK! just hooked up and oh my FUCKING GOD it was the hottest thing I’ve seen in YEARS! That... ahem... move he made after stopping between kisses several times as if to check on her and the noises she made afterward... that goddamn masterpiece of a scene is gonna live in my brain rent free for a loooong time. God bless the rewind button

[incorrectwarriors]

Ah Sahm: Oh just so you know, it's very muggy outside Yan Mi: Yan Mi: Ah Sahm, I swear, if I step outside and all of our mugs are on the front lawn... Ah Sahm: *Sips tea from bowl*

Warrior Thought

Warrior season 3 episode 8

Yeah I know it’s a bit late but I had to process my fucking Feels

I can’t believe Hoon Lee was like “It’s a break from the drama! More happy and romantic!”

HE IS AN EVIL MASTERMIND (because he wrote this episode)

The Chinese celebrating love and the ducks celebrating hate/racism.

“Maybe we’ll finally see the tongs come together” hopefully because Fuckley out there making racist ass Trump speeches to “cleanse” the country

The costumes and visuals in Warrior are fucking amazing! Mai Ling and Li Yong in their wedding attire! Ah Toy in PURPLE yesss! 

Li Yong getting hit with sticks to show his devotion to Mai Ling. Li Yong sparring  with Kạn Pak. Foreshadowing for later.

Ah Toy hates weddings, why? Because she’s an inherently pessimistic person? Because they’re a painful reminder of her husband? I just know for sure that she’d let Nellie wife her up in a heartbeat 

SHUT UP WE GOT HONG AND AH TOY TOGETHER FOR A HOT MINUTE

Hong: “This food is so good mom!”

Ah Toy: “Mmmhmm cool, I’m thinking about murder and my wife.”

Ah Toy looking at Ah Sahm and Yan Mi. Supporting him like he supported her and Nellie! I love their dynamic as platonic besties and confidantes.

Those fuckers just couldn’t leave Ah Toy alone! I was NOT expecting her to go cannibal and bite his nose off! That fan blade omggg SLAY QUEEN

Hoon, “romantic and happy” means nothing to me without Ah Toy/Nellie. If Bill’s wife can miraculously come back last season, Nellie can too damn it. Ah Toy was like “Its safer in Chinatown” but every episode has her getting attacked and stressing about her shoulder. Like babe he’s already won if could make you give up your wife and happiness to go back to Chinatown. OK really looks like Lai is gonna go after Dickland herself next episode. So maybe  Ah Toy will fight him in the finale. DON’T KILL LAI

I KNEW this would happen with Father Jun and YJ! At some point, YJ will have to put him out of his misery. Ughh my heart!

Ah Sahm is still cursed in the romance department, huh? Young Jun is out for Yan Mi and the cops are on her trail, too. I hope she won’t die and just leave the city.

Li Yong, the elders are actually being very reasonable here. They’re just asking for better communication and less crazy decisions! He’s such a malewife for Mai Ling. Like I get it, he knows her and her story like nobody else. But come on, dude. You’re gonna regret it. 

So not a Red Wedding…but a Red Honeymoon. Warrior is very good at creating fight scenes that matter. They have stakes, they drive the story and the characters forward. Li Yong killing his best friend to protect Mai Ling was so emotional! He even yelled at Mai Ling to get out! That’s how you know he finally broke. How much more is he willing to sacrifice for her and love? Chao was right, love has consequences. 

Mai Ling is a complicated bad bitch. She’s ruthless and power-hungry. But her feelings for Li Yong and Ah Sahm are real, deep down. At this rate, she’s gonna push away everyone who could be an ally. Can’t wait to see how this will affect her and Li Yong.

The second biggest fight was Bill vs Chief Atwood. I must say, Bill’s been growing on me this season. He was the only one who gave a shit when Atwood was terrorizing the Chinese. The other cops are just mad that he’s punishing their people, too. Still, 5 years in prison for stealing some food is ludicrous. Atwood is an evil menace for everyone, white or Chinese.  I’ve been waiting all season for Bill to beat the shit out of him! Too bad it’s gonna bite him in the ass later.

Wdym there’s only 2 more episodes?? Didn’t season 3 just premiered like yesterday???

This season feels a lot darker or is it just me? Fuckley is mayor and everything is falling apart. Nobody is even remotely ok

who are your fav ships in warrior (canon and non-canon)

Honestly I'm p much happy with all ships because I just want to see people going feral over these characters and Warrior like I currently am!

but.....

My personal favs are (as of s3e6):

Canon:

-Mai Ling x Li Yong (ultimate malewife x girlboss pairing)

-Ah Toy x Nellie (anything to make Ah Toy happy bb)

-Hong x Marcel-the singer (they so genuinely happy rn it's making my heart sing)

-Ah Sahm x Yan Mi (I love a woman who can inspire Ah Sahm to use his chaos energy for good)

Non-Canon:

-Ah Sahm x Young Jun (I mean it's right there, they're so obsessed with each other, I love them, every scene that's just them has so much romantic tension istg)

-Ah Sahm x Young Jun x Hong (Hong deserves some love from them too my wonderful cringefail Hop Wei husbands)

-Ah Toy x Mai Ling (just imagine the power they would have + they understand each others' pasts)

-Ah Sahm x Ah Toy (I personally like them better as besties but I like Ah Sahm paired with anyone who could step on me)

-Ah Sahm x Li Yong (so hot + enemies to lovers + it would drive Mai Ling insane)

-Buckley x Jail (someone stop this man)

-Chao x some peace and quiet (after this past ep this man deserves a break)

[ignitedminds27]

I want Ah Sahm's heart to swell in love and be crushed mercilessly; shattered into pieces by the lady love, Yan Mi.

This love story is boring as fuck, and what's a hero with happy love life🤷🏻‍♀️

More hurt he is, more the character arc is developed, and more the story grows.

Just let Yan Mi be the self-centered bitch she is.

I don't even know why there was a love angle introduced in this season with an absurd sex scene at equally absurd timing😕. The story could've proceeded without it.

Let's see what the final episode leaves us with.

[oldcrystalmouth]

I don't know if anyone is in the mood for the hilarious commissioner brothers.

[illusidy]

He was tolerable to a certain point.

Warrior Thought

Warrior Season 3 Finale

(Sorry person who sent me an anon message, I accidentally deleted it 😭 but here ya go)

AH TOY AND NELLIE KILLING DICKLAND TOGETHER!!! THE WIVES ARE SO BACK!!!

They had to fit in A LOT this episode, but I’m glad Ah Toy and Nellie had two very solid scenes. I fantasized so much about them getting revenge together, and it actually happened! Sorry Leary but the wives deserve this more! Dickland talking shit and playing stupid mind games with them. His arrogance was his downfall. No asshole YOU should be afraid because Ah Toy is not playing around! She didn’t get a single scratch while slicing and dicing him like a pig! It was so bloody and brutal and violent, I love it! Nellie being backup with her shotgun like “you’re doing great sweetie!”

Then Bill and Leary had to show up at the wrong time! Though I don’t think Bill can recognize her from that distance. Then Nellie began shooting at them and they ran away. So hopefully they’ll be off the hook next season. Burning Dickland’s body in the incinerator was pure poetic Justice! 

Back at the brothel, the adrenaline of revenge is replaced by crushing despair. Dickland’s death didn’t bring back Lai and their girls. He’s not the only greedy and evil man out there. Ah Toy’s been in survival mode for so long, she’s TIRED of all this shit! She never let herself show emotion like this, not even with Ah Sahm. Seeing her completely break down with Nellie is a huge deal for their relationship! After everything that happened, they still love each other and became even stronger. Nellie holding Ah Toy close and saying “I’m not going anywhere” 😭🥺💕 So similar to how they ended last season. I predict that Ah Toy will leave the brothel, and they’ll rebuild somewhere next season. 

Mai Ling confronting Eliza was so good! After the trauma she endured, Mai Ling can’t help relating to Eliza. What Eliza did was wrong, but her shitty husband is the real problem. Mai Ling giving Eliza a knife…I hope she use it well.

So here for Catherine Archer scamming Buckley for all his money! Rob his slimy racist ass, lady! 

The Tongs, Isaac’s crew, and police fighting over the money plates. The ice factory is a homage to Bruce Lee, according to the Internet. Nice. The finale definitely isn’t short on action, I counted 4 in this episode! Isaac almost took the plates but Ah Sahm handled him, and gave them to Lee. That means Yan Mi can be free.

Tbh I’m quite concerned with how they portrayed the black characters this season. Abigail is good, but most of them were antagonistic. I’m aware of how Asians are deemed “the model minority” and often pitted against African Americans. I just wish the show could’ve subverted that somehow. 

Back to Yan Mi, she’s released from jail and runs home to her father. It’s a very poignant scene that can resonate with children of immigrant parents. She respects him, but felt stifled by his expectations. Still, she did mess up by getting involved with a gang. I would’ve preferred Ah Sahm to not have romance this season, but it served it a purpose. I like Yan Mi as a character. Too bad she gets so much flack for getting between YJ and Ah Sahm. 

After getting disowned, she goes to the train station. Ah Sahm never made it, but Chao does. He convince her to go without him anyway, and she does but it’s hard. She got the money from Chao, but she’s also alone as a Chinese woman. We’ve seen other characters try to get out and it didn’t go well. Still, glad they didn’t kill her and hopefully she’ll be ok. Just a small town girl…living in a lonely world…she took the midnight train going anywhere…

After Kon Pak, Lai, and Father Jun…I draw the line at Chao getting stabbed multiple times! ZING is back and he wants revenge against everyone! Bill and Lee looked so happy, laughing on the porch 😬 They better not kill Chao if they get season 4! So many Asian characters died this season, they better replenish! Hello, Michelle Yeoh??? 🙏🏻 Don’t let the white characters outnumber them! 

Finally… the dreaded moment where Ah Sahm has to choose between his sister and the Hop Wei. I figured he would choose Mai Ling. His relationship with Young Jun has been going downhill this season. It’s hard to watch because I understand both of their perspectives. Ah Sahm vs YJ and Hong was equally epic and heartbreaking. None of them took pleasure in that fight, but it was necessary. Ah Sahm knocked both of them out before going to find Mai Ling. 

Meanwhile, Mai Ling is defending herself against the Hop Wei. She makes some progress with her gun, but gets overpowered by them. It looked like she might die by drowning, but I didn’t buy it. Ah Sahm and Mai Ling are reunited as they desperately cling to each other. No more Hop Wei and Long Zhii. Li Yong became the leader of his own tong, good for him! Exploring these new dynamics in season 4 will be very interesting. I’ve always understood Mai Ling while not agreeing with all her manipulative schemes. Hitting rock bottom could lead to some sort of redemption for her. Looking forward to it! 

Big political changes will definitely endanger Chinatown next season. The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882, but it might be sooner in the show. Not good when everyone is still divided and fighting each other. Perhaps Ah Sahm, the embodiment of Bruce Lee, will unite them all in the end. 

Season 3 had its flaws, but overall it was amazing! I really hope it doesn’t end here, the story and characters have so much potential! Fucking Hollywood studios refusing to pay people fairly 😡😡😡 I saw on Twitter some of the Warrior cast joining the protest too, it’s great! Season 4 of Warrior or we riot!!!

Lilia Li-Mi-Yan, Female Prison, 2013

There are about three million people who live in mono national Armenia. However, there is only one female prison in the country. The famous correction facility in the city of Abovyan was considered to be a showpiece one in the times of the Soviet Union, nowadays few people know about it. [...] I shot the women in their usual environment, not trying to find any special concept. There is also no narrative in my shooting. My series is a small window to another world. The world that gathered at one place a lot of stumbled people.
