Lego Monkie Kid OC - Princess Jia Li (佳丽)

Nezha’s one of those people who insists they prefer coffee black. Everyone else has to pretend they didn’t just watch him dump 20 sugar packets into a single cup of coffee.

i actually have a similar draft for this hold on-

Nezha drinks coffee occasionally. It's a nice "pick me up". Something to quirk up his mood.

When nezha needs energy he will never turn to coffee. Not even black.

Has has this ungodly concoction of things mixed togethor that would kill the jade emperor with a single drop.

Only reason nezha can drink it is bc his biology isn't like other magical beings. He's made out of magic plant and flowers (lotus) it won't kill him.

So It won't kill swk either bc he's stone.

But still. No one knows how nezha can sit still after drinking something that looks like it was forged by Buddha himself and a single sip sent erlang through 100 laps around heaven and back.

its a funny thought but i decided not to post it bc....idk i just didnt like it much anymore. so this isnt canon in my au's....its just a funny thought.

But i like your's better honestly...cause..12.

child like sugar.

He's in his taller form with Jia and is just like.

"I prefer coffee black" * yes adults drink coffee black that is what i am i am an adult and i am doing so well as an adult *

"like....no sugar or milk at all?"

"no, i dont really like sweet things"

he takes one sip and is absolutely disgusted but downs it anyways

".....you good?" Jia asks pouring some milk into her coffee

"yes...perfectly fine" Nezha strains. Jia shrugs and turns away, she pretends not to notice Nezha in the corner of her magic vision pouring an unholy amount of sugar into his coffee.

"are you making coffee?"

"yeah"

"is on of those cups for Nezha?"

"yeeeaaahh. why"

"how did he ask for it?"

"what?"

"just answer the question"

"black"

Jia blinks at Macaque then searches through the cabinets patting down the different items till she feels what she's looking for. she pulls out the sugar and instead of taking a spoon to scoop some out she opens the container and begins to pour straight from the bag.

Macaque begins to think Jia is trying to poison Nezha based on how much sugar she's pouring.

"okay i think thats enough" Macaque says stopping her pouring before the sugar starts to pile up and spill from the mug.

"its never enough" Jia sighs letting Macaque put the sugar away.

"he said he wanted black"

"he always 'prefers his coffee black' but tell me the last time you met a twelv year old that liked raw black coffee"

"...."

"is my coffee done?" Nezha asks poking his head in.

"yep"

"cool, thanks" Nezha says taking his cup and emmediatly taking a sip.

he walks away drinking his cup with a satisfied hum to go back and play with Xiaohua.

"...huh"

"told ya"

Some Jia Li facts, pretty please?

deep sea creature (girl)

- when not doing simple tasks for herself or others, jia li is probably exercising. they tense up really easily so they always need to stay on top of things.

- their least favorite type of work is paperwork since it requires them to sit down a lot. movement is key to keeping jia li happy.

- she doesn't exactly need to eat, but does so anyways out of habit. they'll do anything except gummy worms and dehydrating foods. but really she likes things with a lot of flavor.

- jia li knew the former trainmaster of diligence fairly well. she misses her a lot.

- has a habit of running into people or things not due to clumsiness but because other people are clumsier than them. bruises come quickly to jia li.

Fangs of Fortune (Bai Ze Ling): perfect on pure aesthetics alone, but also it will tear your heart out while being very gay.

I was lured in to this show by Tumblr gifsets and friends on Bluesky talking about how queer and poly this show is. I'm old and I've been in fandom more than half my life. I know how to read queer subtext. I'm also pretty well versed in cdramas, so again, I know how to read subtext. So I went into this ready to, well, read the subtext.

But no this show is just puts the queer it right there in the text. The vague information we have about Chinese censorship repeatedly left me asking, 'wait how are they getting away with this?' Like some of these jokes and implications are just so blatant it seems incredible this show ever made it to being broadcast. It just feels very much like queer media made for queer people even if t's more subtle than something western like Queer as Folk.

Even without the heavy coloring of gay this show is incredible and so much more than I expected from the title and the promo. The premise is essentially the death of the goddess, who governed relations between humans and demons, leads to an influx of demons in the human world. This brings together the goddess's disciple, Wen Xiao--seeking to restore the goddess's power. WX's childhood sweetheart, Zhuo Yichen--seeking to restore the demon-hunting bureau after the powerful demon Zhu Yan killed his father and brother. It opens on Zhu Yan, in human disguise as as Zhao Yuanzhou, volunteering to help the imperial court restore the demon-hunting bureau to quell the chaos. They are joined by Pei Sijing, a retired female general from the rival demon hunting sect, and a very young doctor (and comic relief) named Bai Jiu. It starts off as a sort of monster-of-the-week with a grim Scooby gang doing detective work and fighting monsters. Each major demon has a mini arc that relates to the larger case (restoring the power of the goddess to balance the realms), and they are repeatedly blocked by either the demons or the rival demon hunting sect. Each mini arc also acts as a mirror or parallel story to slowly revealed backstory of all the main characters as well. In true cdrama fashion it's a mix of adventure, intense emotional drama, romance, and comedy. And queer and poly jokes and romance. It also has a kind of manga vibe in the way the comedy is woven into the more serious story, and in the fantastical depiction of the characters and how the story unfolds.

It is also just insanely beautiful. Every single shot is lovely. The costumes, make up, and hair are incredible. The casting director made all the major demons inhumanly beautiful. The sets are spectacular. The effects are nicely done. Every bit of has the vague surreality of a fairytale. The perfection of each shot ads to the manga vibe, as if we're seeing each critical storytelling panel come alive. There's recurring water-based special effects that are just gorgeous. Based on aesthetics alone this show would be worth watching to me. That it is combined with a complex, very emotional story is a spectacular gift to the watcher. A lot of the negative reviews of this complain about the staginess or that it's overly contrived in how each scene is shot. But I think it's gorgeous, works perfectly with the storytelling, and if we criticize art on whether it achieves the goal it intended then this show is doing exactly and perfectly what it means to do and doing it beautifully.

Additionally the acting is also very good, but Neo Hou is the stand out for sure. I enjoyed him in Back from the Brink, especially the later part of the story, but in Fangs of Fortune he's transformed, utterly embodying the role, the way Dylan Wang is Dongfang Qingcang in Love Between Fairy and Devil. Neo Hou has the right look, a slightly uncanny beauty perfect for a gorgeous immortal not of this world. The show does incredible things with his styling between the various looks and personas the role requires. But in acting he somehow manages to utterly transform his face and demeanor to manifest each aspect of the character as story demands changes from him.

There is a lot of crying in this drama. Like early on I joked that there was going to be a character crying a single perfect tear in every ep. Lol nope. Multiple single perfect tears per ep and many outright full on sobbing scenes. This show is just waiting to rip your heart out and you see it right from the beginning. But it was such sweet pain all the way through. Just a truly engaging and utterly wrenching set of intertwined stories.

My only criticism is that the pacing falls apart in the last 3 episodes. But overall the story is solid through the end, though like so many cdramas, it's saved by the epilogue.

You should absolutely watch it if you want the chaotic bi polycule (it's her, her girlfriend, her boyfriend, her boyfriend's boyfriend who is also her boyfriend, their two idiot sons, and her boyfriend's ex-who is also eventually sort of his boyfriend again), or if you want your heart torn out and stomped on. Or even if you just like really gorgeous cinematic things. Also if you watch, please don't skip the ending credits, as they change as the arcs change, and the radiant joy Tian Jiarui has as he dances is an excellent antidote to the emotions of each episode.

Jiang Tian gets jealous again. This time, unlike with Gao Tianyang, Jiang Tian sees Li Jia as a rival for Sheng Wang's affection and attention so he feels a bit insecure.

He sees Li Jia making heart eyes at Sheng Wang and moves in to block her view lol.

Sheng Wang is confused at first but then realizes that Jiang Tian is jealous. I love that little smirk.

Sheng Wang used Li Jia to make Jiang Tian jealous, which is actually a shitty thing to do, but I love the boys so much, I don't even care.

I love Sheng Wang's "innocent” self satisfied smile and Jiang Tian frustratingly eating his skewer with annoyance. So cute. I love them so much.

I am about a thousand times more invested in Gao Tian Yang and Pepper as a second couple than I am in any of this teacher love triangle business.

This sweet boy delivering a gift made for his friend by the girl he likes 🥺

And his joy at being allowed to keep the cookies! I love him! I hope Pepper starts to notice how genuine his words about her actually are.

I’d happily replace most of the teacher scenes with more of this boy and his girl bantering at each other!

“ALRIGHT! YOURE NOT LISTENING TO US! YOUR BOYFRIEND PRIVILEGES ARE REVOKED!”

“Wait what-”

“What?! No!! Give him back!!”

“NOT UNTIL YOU BEHAVE”

“I did not agree to be a hostage!”

“Too bad, you are now.”

LOLLLL

Jia Li: are we seriously using his boyfriend to keep him under control?

Nezha:apparently.

Erlang: yeah, watch this. Wukong!

Wukong holding Mac: *HIIIISSSS*
