Baby Li Ling is so so so precious and important to me, you don’t understand. I love him so much

[danmeigirl]

Not him losing his parents twice!

Love how he is our young Gong Jun in both the dramas.

Warrior season 3, Young Jun won my heart. That man showed immense strength when he had to kill the most precious person to him, his father, the legendary Father Jun.

His loyalty and respect for Ah Sahm is unquestionable. The fact that he said Ah Sahm to not come along with them and "no one should have to kill their own family", it showed how he cared for the bitch who went on his back and snitched.

Young Jun never blamed Ah Sahm for his father's death when it was his savior complex which cost Father Jun's life. After Mai Ling revealed his identity Young Jun never abandoned him and his trust in Ah Sahm never faltered even though his sixth sense was constantly telling him he might betray. Young Jun was the one who vouched for Ah Sahm when Father Jun and whole of Hop Wei was against him. Young Jun gave him his undying loyalty and took him under his wing when his own sister refused to take him, but what did Ah Sahm do the minute he got an opportunity to payback with loyalty, he fucking backstabbed him. That hurt Young Jun more than his father's death.

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

Warrior s3 Finale Thought

I need Season 4 more than anything now because I gotta see the Bitch SiblingsTM vs their bitter exes

[howdaretrashships]

This may be an unpopular opinion but the Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing dynamic very much reminds me of Wei Wuxian and the ducklings in the Yi City Arc. The way he comes to a mostly complete and accurate conclusion and then guides Fang Duobing into figuring it out for himself. Especially during the Gang Qi/Opal Skull case.

So reminiscent of Wei Wuxian going "Congratulations! You've been poisoned." and then forcing them to eat super spicy congee to cure it. I'm thinking about how Li Lianhua writes down Yangzhouman for him, and he at first refuses. Also the way the ducklings are reluctant to follow Wei Wuxian's directions until they increasingly realize he's pushing them in the right direction. Like Li Lianhua telling him "silence and grace", because when he gets worked up the Gang Qi attacks him again.

Specifically though, the parallels are strong with Li Lianhua & Fang Duobing <=> Wei Wuxian & Jin Ling. The betrayal of finding out Li Lianhua is Li Xiangyi (possibly responsible for his father's death), and Jin Ling finding out "Mo Xuanyu" is Wei Wuxian (responsible for his father's death and indirectly responsible for his mother's death).

(Also finding out a close family member was responsible for pulling the strings that led to the misfortune of the past, while the other person shouldered the blame.)

Responses to "how are babies made?"

Mai Ling, Ah Toy: When two people love each other very much-

Ah Sahm: *pats head* You'll learn when you're older, sweetie :))

Hong: [is the one asking the question]

Li Yong: The stork.

Young Jun: Sex, you dumbass child.

The Blossom surrounded by Fire - Ch. 33 (Warrior AU- HBO MAX)

I sat in my tub hair pinned up, staring into space as I contemplated on if I should go see Zing now or wait until tomorrow. No, I needed to get this over with. Whatever he wants, I wanted it out of the way before the tournament. I ran the water over my shoulders before looking up at the ceiling.

“God give me strength.” I replied.

As the moon was hitting the sky, I made my way onto the silent streets making sure to keep my head down, but my eyes scanning everywhere. Although I did not fear the dark, I feared only man. I was in one of my nicer cloaks I had gotten from Chao. It was darker than any cloak I had ever worn, and as I saw the lights of the Fung Hai casino, I merely stood there for a moment listening to the drunken men inside.

I could hear cheering and shouting from the many men inside. I opened the door and was hit hard by the smell of alcohol and sweat. I gently lifted my head looking around at the many tables that were filled with men throwing dice and roaring with glee or groaning from their loss. Women clung to their arms laughing and pouring lord knows what down their throats to keep the men wanting to gamble more. I looked around the room, stepping to the side and looking for anyone I could see belonging to the Fung Hai. But I didn’t need to look long as I could see many Fung Hai off in the corner smoking and drinking and laughing.

Amongst them was their tong leader, sitting down with a bare breasted woman on his knee. My still form was catching attention of the lethal gang. One of the men hit Zing’s shoulder and in response, he looked at him with annoyance before that man pointed his head in my direction. Zing looked over and finally our eyes meet. I pull my hood off my head, and I could see the initial shock on his face. He stands up immediately, the woman on his lap stumbling over from his quick movement.

He made a straight line toward me, and I tensed as his gaze fell upon me and transitioned to its usual sinister and feral look. He smirked.

“Well, well, if it isn’t sweet Amaka. I never took you for the gambling type.” he said with a purr. I gave a gentle nod.

“Hello Zing. Have I caught you at a bad time?” I asked. He grinned leaning his upper body to the side some.

“You could never catch me at a bad time.” he said. I nodded slowly recoiling a bit when some drunk men stumbled past us to leave the casino.

“I need to speak with you privately. It won’t take long. I know I didn’t have an appointment.” I said lowly, all the while Zing is just watching me as if completely entertained by my discomfort.

“Of course! Follow me.” he said and turned and moved toward the back of the casino through a door and down a small hallway. Surprisingly it wasn’t as sleezy as I expected like the casino area. Zing opened a door and smiled at me, holding his hand up for me to enter first. I quickly did so, and he casually followed closing the door behind me.

I took note of the large room with a bed and dresser and a few weapons on said dresser. The layout of this room matched the same layout of his bedroom at his headquarters. Of course, a tong leader may need to stay in different areas within his territory.

“So, what do I owe this unexpected visit?” he asked with a cross of his arms. I said a quick, and I mean very quick and silent prayer, before turning to him.

“Your tong fought with the Hop Wei earlier today. I was somewhat cornered between your men and a Hop Wei hatchet man… your men allowed me to leave unharmed and this pleased Long Zii, so after a brief discussion, I have agreed to help your men with a one-time service on behalf of my tong, helping your men with anything they need medical wise.” I replied. He was watching my mouth as I spoke, but I knew other thoughts were moving around in his head.

“Medical wise?” he asked.

“Yes.” I replied all too quickly of which he caught. He smirked.

“You came all the way down here under the full moon just to tell me that?” he asked. My jaw clenched some and I shook my head.

“I apologize for wasting your time then.” I replied making a move to leave, however his arm moved up to place his hand flat on the door to keep it shut.

“I didn’t say I was denying your generous form of gratitude.” he said. I didn’t move from my spot in front of him and he just looked me over. “You think I’d accept a onetime medical service when a different service would be way more appreciated for my men’s efforts of letting you live?”

I scoffed.

“They didn’t have a choice but to let me live.” I said lowly and he went whew.

“Well don’t you have a mouth on you now. It seems the Long Zii has sparked a new fire in you.” he said.

“It’s more than what I would ever have in other tongs.” I said lowly. Now I noticed the slight frown on his face before he smirked again.

“I think you just didn’t give my little tong a chance.” he said with a pout. I looked down some for a moment before looking up at him.

“I can either help you before the tournament or after.” I replied. He laughed now.

“You’re going to that?” he asked. I shrugged.

“I was told to go. If you would like I could help your men after their fights.” I said. He shook his head.

“Oh no you will not be granting a service to anyone but me.” he said. Now a brief look of suspicion played on his face before he smirked even wider. “Is that why you came tonight? You wanted to thank me now?”

“I came to merely pass on the message from Long Zii is all. Now whether you want my thanks now or later is entirely on you. If I was you, I would take it now because after your tong loses, the little deal you tried to push on Long Zii will be long forgotten.” I replied. He barked out another laugh backing me up some until I was in the middle of the room.

 “You think I’ll lose?” he asked more amusement laced in his tone. I kept my stance firm.

“I think what will be will be, I don’t think about the future and the events I cannot control. I can only think about now.” I replied looking him over some letting an invisible wave of confidence fall over me as I openly looked him over. It was time to put Ah Toy’s lesson to the test. I slowly leaned into him, and he was unmoved by my actions, but his eyes did wander down to my mouth as I let my lips move inches to his. Before he could move toward me, I leaned back and walked a few steps from him, my back to him.

 “You once said if Long Zii agreed to give me to you for one night, you’d continue to show me exactly what turns you on.” I said now moving my hands to the strings of the cloak. I began to untie them, gently moving to face him. As he caught the sight of my fingers in the strings, I watched the wave of darkness flood over his eyes. Once the cloak was loose, I let it fall off my shoulders immediately revealing my bare body, covered by a leather body harness. Zing’s eyes flexed immediately, a different- darker gaze appearing in his eyes now.

This was something my late master had me wear beneath my dresses back on the plantation. It aroused him to know a sacred temple that only he could control. I had it on when Chao found me. I kept it in case… I ever found myself back in bondage again.

And I could tell now it aroused Zing, his body was tight, a quick shudder flowed over him.

His eyes drank me in like a predator stalking its prey. He slowly approached me, and I looked up at him, showing no fear. Tonight, I was someone else entirely. I was someone who would not be afraid of the man before me. He raised his hand confidently and pressed his calloused fingers against my left breast sliding his hand down my stomach and stopping above my pubic area. He now bridged the space between us, looming over me and I just stared up at him with seductive eyes.

“Will you show me what turns you on?” I asked innocently, my eyes showing a glimpse of submission.

He crashed his lips into mine and it was possessive yet passionate, which was definitely a reflection of his dominate personality. I feel his arms wrapping around my back to bring me into his body almost in desperation. He’s never done that before. I felt a whirlwind of emotions arise in me as my hands came up to wrap around his neck to pull him into me. Something felt different about this kiss.

His reputation as the fierce leader of the Fung Hai Tong preceded him, and I had always seen him as a figure of unyielding power and brutality, especially since I have experienced it physically.

I pulled back briefly as I didn’t even notice the wind was knocked out of me. Now, with his lips just inches from mine again, trying to reclaim my mouth, there was a sudden, unexpected softness in his eyes. What was he planning?

When our lips met again, the kiss was intense and commanding, much like Zing himself, yet, beneath that ferocity, I sensed a flicker of tenderness, a vulnerability that he rarely showed- hell I didn’t even think was possible for a man like him. It was a moment of raw connection, a blend of passion and dominance that took me by surprise.

As we kissed, mouths opening and tongues invading the other's mouths, I couldn’t help but wonder what laid behind this unexpected display of affection. Was this an expression of genuine feeling or was it another calculated move in his twisted plan to keep me in his tong permanently. The warmth of his lips contrasted sharply with the cold, ruthless persona I was used to seeing.

When Zing finally pulled away, his face quickly hardened, the moment of vulnerability vanishing as quickly as it had appeared. I looked into his eyes, now unreadable once more, and felt a mix of confusion and intrigue. In that fleeting moment, I had seen a side of Zing that few ever did, leaving me with a deep sense of uncertainty about what it truly meant.

“Long Zii will regret tempting my resolve with you.” he said huskily. I couldn’t help but smirk, feeling a bit overconfident now as I placed my hand in his hair and gave a firm grip. I saw the look of excitement in his eyes as he growled lowly from his chest. I could tell he was taken aback by the motion, but when my free hand cupped his bulging erection, I couldn’t help but smirk wider giving him a gentle rub. His lip flexed into a deep snarl.

“Please… with me you have no resolve.” I said which only earned me another violent kiss.

Happy holidays! Lady mo please?

a continuation of 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59

Jiang Yanli does not often feel old. Her golden core does not keep her eternally young like it does her brother, does not prevent the more persistent illnesses from plaguing her, but it does east the aches and pains non cultivators her age often complain of, does keep her skin youthful without the aid of strange poultices and she’ll probably never need dyes to keep her hair dark. But she feels old now, watching Xuanyu and Lan Wangji fumble around one another, watching her struggle for the affection of a husband who might care for her, but does not treat her with care.

At least by the time she married Zixuan, he’d told her that he loved her.

 “What was all the commotion about?” Zixuan asks, arms encircling her waist as he tugs her back against his chest now that they’re back in their own quarters.

“Your cousin got drunk and pissed off the wrong people. Again.”

He huffs, his breath warm against her neck. “Yanli. You know that’s not what I’m talking about. I know A-Yao thinks I’m stupid, but even I notice servants running about and clan leaders and their wives going missing. Especially when one of them is mine.”

“A-Yao doesn’t think you’re stupid,” Jiang Yanli says, even though he kind of does. He thinks most people are stupid and Zixuan has at least grown out of taking it personally. That doesn’t mean she has to rub it in. “Xuanyu was just – a little upset. About things.”

“Lan Xichen likes her. Lan Wangji’s kid adores her. And we all saw what Lan Wangji thinks,” he says. Defending is also not the same thing as caring, but she doesn’t say that. “A-Yao even calls her our sister. Do you remember how long it took him to call me brother? It seems like it’s going well.”

If it had gone a little less well, she’d be less distraught.

Jiang Yanli is debating how much she can say without revealing Xuanyu’s pregnancy – enough people know that it won’t stay a secret for long, but Zixuan is terrible at faking surprise – when there’s a loud, frantic knocking at their door.

Zixuan frowns and goes to open the door.

“Fuck off,” slurs a familiar, beloved voice.

Jiang Yanli hides a smile and goes to stand next to her husband.

A-Cheng is standing there, sort of, considering he’s mostly being supported but a long-suffering Li Jun. “Meimei said she won’t deal with him anymore.”

“Ah,” Zixuan says, already resigned.

A-Cheng stumbles forward, grabbing her wrist and tugging her towards the table. He blearily glares at Zixuan. “Go away.”

He sighs, leaning down to kiss her and then saying, “I suppose I’ll be in a guest room.” He makes a face, remembering that the tower is full of foreign disciples. “Somewhere.”

He’s going to end up sleeping in their son’s room and A-Ling is going to complain about it. Loudly.

“Good night,” she says, barely keeping from laughing as she closes the door on Li Jun side eyeing Zixuan. Her sect has never completely forgiven Zixuan for being a teenage boy, not matter that she’s spent over a decade in the Jin rather than the Jiang.

She lets A-Cheng pull her down beside him at the table, leaning his head on his arm while he stares at her. She pours him a cup of water that she hopes he’ll drink. “Are you all out of sorts because of Xuanyu too?”

His face goes blank then it creases and he’s turns to hide it in the bend of his elbow.

With the first stirrings of genuine alarm, Jiang Yanli realizes he’s crying.

“A-Cheng? A-Cheng, what’s wrong?” she asks, putter her arm over his back and pulling him into her side like she used to when they were kids.

The words come out muffled, but he says, “I hate him. How could he – I hate him.” Then, quieter, in a tone that doesn’t match the words at all, “I hate him.”

She runs through everyone who’s here, every cultivator she saw A-Cheng speak to, but it’s a fool’s errand. No one gets to him like this. No one but –

“Wei Wuxian came back.”

[ignitedminds27]

Hong? Young Jun? Are you guys alright?

Li yong tryna start his own tong. I see you there big man😉

Ah Sahm you bitch. After snitching against your brothers for a damsel you had an audacity to ask Young Jun to not take over Mai Ling because she is your sister! Where were these morals when you conspired behind their back. You called Young Jun and Hop Wei your brothers and had no shame in backstabbing them for a fling?

Someone tell me Chow is alright and somebody saved him. Come on he can't die.

[three--rings]

You Should Watch The Spirealm/致命游戏

What is it?

A 2024 cdrama based on the danmei webnovel Kaleidoscope of Death. It's a censored version of a BL novel, with thriller, mystery, and horror aspects, 38 45-minute episodes.

What's it about?

A young man accidentally gets drawn into a virtual reality video game that involves passing tests in a series of doors. Once you start playing, you cannot stop and if you die in the game, you die in real life. He meets a frustratingly mysterious, competent, and attractive man in the doors who recruits him to be part of his game solving team. Well, specifically to be his partner. Lots of gay subtext ensues as they fight through door after door seeking to get to the final door in order to end the evils of the game. (The book is a little different, as it's more supernatural.)

So basically it's a infinite flow deadly game situation, with m/m romance.

Main Characters:

Lin Quishi/Ling Juishi (novel/drama versions of his name)- Our protagonist. A smart graduate in computer science, good at games. Well meaning but a little naive to start out.

Ruan Nanzhu/Ruan Lanzhu - Our love interest. In the novel he crossdresses often and he presents as a woman for the whole first arc. Super intelligent, expert at the game, extremely flirty but reserved at the same time. Got one look at Lin Quishi and said That One.

Other Characters, aka the Found Family:

Ruan Nanzhu's team consists of a pair of twin brothers (one young and dumb and one uptight), a hot doctor vet, a woman whose main job seems to be cooking dinner, and a not-so-stable dude.

Then there's Li Dong Yuan, a rival player who becomes reluctantly-tolerated friend, and his cute female assistant. And Tan Zao Zao, an actress who hires the team to help her in the games and also sticks around persistently.

They're pretty much all delightful and some may start off silly/annoying and end up breaking the hell out of your heart.

Okay, but what's the VIBE?

Big Guardian vibes. The team of lovable scamps investigating weird supernatural (?) type mysteries? While the boss and the guy he fell for have a situationship? Totally. This definitely has more of a horror feel than Guardian, though, even though they tone things down from the novel.

Each door is its own setting, and some are more scary than others. So one is a mental hospital, one is a traditional village, one is a gothic manor, etc. Lots of tragic female ghosts who have been wronged and are getting revenge. The one that really creeped me out was the one with the children with the eggs. It does a lot of creepy rather than really horror. It's not truly gory at all, as it was made to air on Chinese TV and they have strict limits to violence.

The camerawork and set decor is really nice, actually. It looks great most of the time and a lot of the effects seem to be practical. It looks a lot better than Guardian is what I'm saying, if not quite to a film level.

How Gay is It?

Oh MY GOD. Okay look, this show was NOT supposed to be released, but thank whoever put it up for that two hours. It's really incredibly blatant, like really as much as Word of Honor was, although because the plot is focused elsewhere it's maybe not quite as in your face. But the actors UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT and there's so much longing and SO much implication. After a while, everyone basically just treats the main couple as a couple even thought it's never talked about.

I mean episode one there's Only One Bed and at the end of their first meeting Ruan Nanzhu gives Lin Quishi a RING. I mean, the flirting is also BLATANT. I also just find this a really romantic show, despite the Not Talking About It thing.

Is it a Happy Ending?

So, It's Complicated. I'm trying not to spoil anything and this show is pretty easy to have spoiled for you. There's definitely a good bit of tragedy in this show in general. Characters die and it's really sad. Like, this is a plot with stakes and if no one we liked ever died, it wouldn't be the same.

I will say I consider this show to have a happy ending, but you do go through some pain first. Essentially the main couple does have a separation, but there is a reunion before the end. There's also a scene that will give Guardian fans fucking PTSD, but the show does a fix-it on its own, okay? I do feel that I have to warn for that, though.

Where can I watch it?

The show is legally available on Viki with a subscription. Obviously there are other ways to find it as well, and links went around before it was picked up by Viki so check tags if you need those.

I really hope this encourages some people to watch this show, as it's really well made and a great time. It's one of a very small number of danmei adaptations we've gotten, but a lot less people have watched it since it's modern and had a weird release. Honestly, it's well written and acted and filmed and you should give it a shot.
