#Li MengMeng

[orchisailsa]

Sorry, Li Dongyuan bby, you didn't stand a chance.

[yuexias]

this is why i go insane everyone.... allow me to present to you: li yao

[dtriad]

I came across this bilibili video with commentary on a lot of the actors in Romance of the Three Kingdoms (1994). Adding my own scatter-brained thoughts on some of the featured characters, with timestamps:

Bi Yanjun as Yang Xiu / Li Ru (6:31) - omg TIL they were played by the same actor? I see it now... the power of facial hair & acting lmao. I like Yang Xiu a lot :3 though here he's not overtly obnoxious (affectionate) like Zhai Tianlin's Yang Xiu in TAA

Li Jianyi / Xiu Zongdi as Chen Gong (7:00) - XZD's Chen Gong is /chef's kiss/ I love the final Cao Cao/Chen Gong breakup scene at 白门楼, Cao Cao gazing at his white moonlight who refuses any possibility of surrender/reconciliation (Cao Cao: you'd rather be with Lü Bu than be with me??? HIM??? and now you'd rather die than be with me???)

Cao Li as Lu Su (9:17) - babyface mengmeng!!!!!! way too cute & honest compared to historical Lu Su haha

Gao Lancun as Sima Zhao (10:17) - confession, I still haven't watched the whole thing in order b/c I keep jumping around & picking out scenes/arcs instead, sooooo I have mostly skipped Sima Zhao content... but I love OP's description of Sima Zhao "who seems like he's looking at [others as] trash" lmaooo

An Yaping as Ma Chao (10:53) - 锦马超! Luo Guanzhong: /sweating I gotta spruce up this guy dammit! well good job LGZ I love watching him go after Cao Cao

Chen Hong as Diaochan (11:35) - MY DARLING!!!!!!! I really enjoy all the moments when she darts a glance at Dong Zhuo or Lü Bu to gauge her next move. & LOVE her character song—

Yang Fan / Zhang Shan / Hou Yongsheng as Zhao Yun (12:28) - ZILONG! ZILONG! too many A+ character songs... Zhang Shan's horsemanship was crazy good

Wu Xiaodong as Sun Quan (13:20) - he successfully captures that bearing/air as a ruling lord, but I'm sorry Sun Quan every time I look at you I think 孙十万... pls, let your generals do the fighting 😂 also I am weirded out by the fact he's got a luxurious beard while Zhou Yu goes around w/o one because then he would blow his identity as young Yuan Shao (speaking of facial hair, they dropped the ball with Sun Ce, why didn't he get a beard as nice as Sun Quan's!!)

Zhang Tianshu / Fan Zhiqi as Jiang Wei (14:14) - my young bb 甜姜! my old bb 苦姜! ;_______; ok tbh the thing that bugs me most about the 2010 drama is that they end the final ep with Sima Yi's death and toss in a voiceover "yadda yadda a decade+ later, Shu surrendered, yadda yadda" and THAT'S IT???? BUT WHERE IS THE CULMINATION OF THE TRAGEDY OF JI HAN???? JIANG WEI???? if you don't wanna adapt that part then ok just own it and wrap up the show with a thematically appropriate ending, why even bother to shove the idea of 分久必合 into the voiceover during the last half-minute as;dlkfja;sdlk. anyway wahhhh @ OP's commentary: "姜维是承载着蜀汉的所有美好与激情的存在，但是最后终会化为壮烈与凄凉 [...] 我们会在樊志起的身上看到诸葛亮，看到关羽，看到赵云，看到刘备的影子" ;______;

Zhang Guangbei as Lü Bu (17:15) - hahaha omg he originally intended to audition for Zhou Yu???? ok, especially after reading 《早安���三国打工人》I can't help but admit he's become my poor little muddle-headed meow meow... and ZGB is A+ in this role

Hong Yuzhou as Zhou Yu (18:35) - 美周郎 absolutely deserves that BGM cut at 19:28 /swishes cloak

Wei Zongwan as Sima Yi (20:37) - SO. MUCH. happening beneath the stillness of Sima Yi. he also deserves that BGM cut at 21:24. the ultimate 猫头鹰!!

Sun Yanjun as Liu Bei (23:27) - I like the historical Liu Bei more than ROTK Liu Bei, but major major major props to SYJ for, frankly, elevating ROTK Liu Bei with his portrayal, so 央三 Liu Bei > novel ROTK Liu Bei \o/

Tang Guoqiang as Zhuge Liang (24:31) - YES

Bao Guo'an as Cao Cao (26:46) - HELL YES

this got so much longer than I expected /facepalm

Canon Polycule Showdown

(vote for your favorite! check the description if you don't know them)

Iron Widow art from official merch designed by Mengmeng Liu, found here.

[ID: 1. Picture of Gao Yizhi, Wu Zetian and Li Shimin from Iron Widow. 2. Picture of Tree Trunks, Mr Pig and Alien Husband from Adventure Time. /end ID]

Meet the contestants!

Wu Zetian/Li Shimin/Gao Yizhi

Status: Canon

Description: Wu Zetian and Gao Yizhi know each other prior to the start of the events in the book, and are in love with each other, but for a number of different reasons, Zetian refuses to act on it, constantly convincing herself he doesn’t actually like her. Zetian leaves to become a concubine pilot, and after some major events, is paired up with Li Shimin, the most powerful pilot and also considered the most dangerous. Their relationship develops from one of distrust to love due to the strong bond they share from piloting the same mecha (and learning more about each other). Yizhi comes back into Zetian’s life and joins the two of them, firstly under the excuse of helping Shimin deal with his alcoholism. It’s very clear from their first meeting that Yizhi is attracted to Shimin, and eventually the three of them become a triangle polycule.

Tree Trunks/Mr. Pig/Alien Husband

Status: Canon

Description: Throughout the episode in which Alien Husband is in, Tree Trunks sends hints for wanting this type of relationship. Mr Pig at first was uncomfortable, but by the end he is fine with Tree Trunks being with him and Alien Husband. Also, Tree Trunks has an adopted kid with Mr Pig (Sweet P) and with Alien Husband (Unnamed Children).

Emperor bros undercover!

Yao and Zixuan: *entering wearing normal clothes as disguises* how do we look!

Mo xuanyu: aww stunning!

Su she: remarkable.

Xue yang: smoking hot.

You look hot too, Xuan Huangdi.

Zixuan: *opens fan* do we still look rich?

Su she: yup.

Yao: don't worry, Zish. We're still goodlooking.

Su she: do you wish to hide your dimples?

Yao: nah. I think I want to live on the edge!

Su she: ok.

Fuying, can you aid the ✨️majesties✨️.

Fuying: sure thing.

Xue yang: make sure that Zixuan is still breathing. The guy doesn't look like he gets out of his Mansion.

Fuying: *laughing slighly* of course.

Zixuan: I do! To check up on my people. Along with A-Li.

And mostly A-Li does all the talking, because I'm shy. Anyways peacock spirits are contented people.

Mo xuanyu: that's so cute Xuan gege! Yang gege, don't tease him.

Xue yang: how do you buy something in a city? Xuan?

Zixuan: you have to buy something????? I thought they run on tips.

Su she: oh goodness. J

Yao: *facepalms*

Mo xuanyu: of course Xuan gege.

Xue yang: guess we have to tie Zixuan to Jiggy.

Zixuan: when I want something, I just ask for it. And then I would give them a tip. Maybe a golden tael or something.

Xue yang: do you use normal silver taels?

Zixuan: only when the service is poor.

Su she: well you aren't a diva.

Xue yang: don't lie to him.

Mo xuanyu: what you expect from a Huangdi. Xuan gege, it's fine to give them tips. At least you're giving them golden taels.

Yao: yea! I don't see anything wrong in that.

Xue yang: you keep defending your brother, lol.

Xue yang: Anyways!!! Jiggybun, xuanyu and I were thinking of a pseudonym for you two.

Yao: aww, tell us!

Xue yang: you're Yao McJiggyDimples. And you're just Zixuan.

Yao: lol! Such a funny name, Chengmei.

Zixuan: I'll use Xuan just to he safe.

Yao: and I'll use Yao. As it's a common name.

(T/n: here 'Zixuan" is a rare name. Yao is common, but if Ayao uses Meng Gongzi, or Mengmeng, then that would blow his cover, as it's the imperial name.)

Xue yang: you're no fun, JiggyDimples.

Yao: *opens fan* shall we go?

Zixuan: *smile* sure.

~~~

In the city!

Zixuan: Yaoyao, your Jingjing is very beautiful. You're an amazing Huangdi.   

Yao: thank you.

Zixuan: *glaring at a stall* hmm, I should get a pendant for A-Li.

Yao: good idea! Let's go.

Zixuan: ugh but there's a crowd. Fuying.

Fuying: clear the crowd, got ya.

Yao: wait wait wait. It will be too obvious. I think we should join the crowd.

Zixuan: *sarcasm* yea and then we'll bathe with them too, A-Yao.

Yao: *laughs* oh Zish.

Zixuan: ah, let me try to go through the crowd. Wait for me here.

Yao: mn.

Fuying: but Gongzi, you're an expert, compared to Xuan Gongzi.

Yao: because I had a humble beginning.

I memorized all the streets in Yunping as a child. And now here.

Vendor: what would you like?

Zixuan: I want that Jade lotus flower pendant.

Vendor: that will be one tael.

Zixuan: gold or silver?

Vendor: you have gold?????

Well you do look rich.

Zixuan: *sigh* obviously.

Vendor: ok, well one gold tael will do.

Zixuan: ok. *opens fan*

*smug look*

Vendor: pay up! You're keeping up the line.

Zixuan: I don't walk with money.

Vendor: .............

........... what?

Why the hell didn't you being money! 

Zixuan: my assistant sometimes pay on my behalf.

Vendor: are you mad? What assistant?? And I don't see any.

Zixuan: how dare you question my mental state. I'll destroy you!

Fuying, have him arrested!

Vendor: try to arrest me!

This is the town of hulijings.

We can suck out your energy if you appear as a threat.

Zixuan: my brother is your Hua--

Yao: *runs and covers his mouth* I'm very sorry.

I'll pay on his behalf. Xuan gege, what are you doing?

Zixuan: talking to this rude sack of bones.

Yao: oh my.

Let's walk away slowly.

Calm down.

Zixuan: he called me mad.

What if I don't carry money on me.

Yao: *laughing* Xuan you look so cute when you're angry.

Zixuan: Yaoyao, would I ever survive?

Yao: of course.

Now Zishie. *grabs arm* how about we have some street food.

Zixuan: would it give me acne and a stomach ache?

Yao: no. Your A-Yao is here to prevent that from happening.

And if you do vomit, I'll hold back your hair.

Zixuan: trying street food is too risky for me.

And A-niang used to forbid me.

Yao: aww. Are you afraid of Madam Jin?

Zixuan: never!

Yao: *laughing* come, I'll buy you some at an inn.

Zixuan: but......is it lavish? A-niang told me that lavish food would make you live longer.

Yao: ahahahaha, Xuanxuan that's not true. And no I'm taking you to a very affordable restaurant. Like the commoners we are.

Zixuan: omg Yaoyao, don't say that word.

Yao: *giggling*

Zixuan: hmmm....I don't think that's my style.

Yao: *pouts* you won't refuse your cute little didi, won't you?

Zixuan: oh not that face. I can't resist.

Yao: *pouts harder*

Zixuan: Yaoyao.

Yao: *tugs sleeve*

Zixuan: fine! Let's go. You're too too cute.

Yao: *smiling* good!

Yao: Zish, what would you eat in the town if I wasn't here.

Zixuan: the town might eat me instead. Or I may go to a 5star restaurant here.

Yao: and sleep there too?

Zixuan: yea.

Yao: lol.

Xuanxuan, after eating, we should go check on some people, while in our disguise.

Zixuan: sounds like a wonderful idea.

Yao: mhm.

Suddenly a group of people crowded. them.

Zixuan: what's this.

Yao: omg.

Zixuan: can't a person go for lunch in peace? But it's a price to pay when you're gorgeous.

Yao: I know right.

*people crowding Yao and Zixuan*

Gongzi, you both are so handsome.

Smooth skin!

High cheekbones and thick eyelashes.

Pink lips!

Did you see his dimples.

So deep!

Yao: thank you, thank you.

Zixuan: *happily enjoying his compliments, while flitting his fan.

They look so rich and elegant!

Are they from heaven?

*touches* Gongzi.

Zixuan: please.....don't touch me.

Why Gongzi??

Zixuan: I don't like it. I don't know where your hands were.

And also I'm married.

Really?? But you're so young!

Gongzi is very rude. But so hot!

Zixuan: yes yes, I get that a lot. I'm very handsome.

*awestruck* Oh my goodness!

Gongzi *turns to A-Yao* you're very very cute and handsome.

Yao: I'm flattered. 

Your hands are so soft. You must be from a wealthy family.

Yao: sort of. I would say that we're more happy than wealthy.

You two are soo adorable! My heart!

Someone to A-Yao: Gongzi, what's your occupation?

Yao: I'm from a rich family, but on the sideline, I'm a dancer.

Zixuan: and I just spend all my parents money on clothes.

Ohhhh you two are really rich then!

Yao: yea heehee.

Anyways, it's a pleasure meeting you. We got to go have some lunch.

We'll buy it for you!

No we'll cook for you!

Zixuan: awww.

Yao: lovely. But perhaps another time. We're planning on getting some street food, then we'll go to a restaurant.

Ohh.

Zixuan: see you soon, we take your leave.

Yao: yea, bye for now.

Byee!!

You two are really hot! 

Afterwards~~

Both: *eating sweet dumplings near a stall*

Zixuan: Yaoyao *feeds him*

Yao: *does the same*

Ah, so delicious!

Zixuan: take a another.

Yao: but I'll eat all yours, lol.

Zixuan: then I'll grab yours.

Yao: I see. You're a sneaky peacock.

Zixuan: *squishes face* learnt from you.

Yao:  you need more practice.

Zixuan: teach me, laoshi.

Both: *laughing*

Yao: Zishie this is so fun..

Zixuan: yea. I wish that I could have fed you street food during our childhood.

Yao: mhm. I would love to mess around with you.

Zixuan: for real!

Now, shall we check the restaurant.

Yao: sure. Let's go. These sweet dumplings were only a dessert.

Zixuan: ahh yes! Dessert after lunch?

Yao: well we are emperors. We can do whatever we wish.

Zixuan: have a point.

At a restaurant....

Waiter: what would you two be having?

Zixuan and Yao: the healthiest meal you have. And yes, there should be no oily food.

Zixuan: it gives me pimples.

Yao: yea it's not good for the skin.

Waiter: I see! You two are surely brothers. Maybe twins? No?

Zixuan: yes, he's my younger bro. Just by a couple of hours, but different moms.

Waiter: oooo, just like Huangdi and the emperor of peacock spirits.

Yao: you got it! Just like them!

Zixuan: they're icons, right!

Waiter: yes. Very iconic and fashionable.

Waiter: anything else?

Yao and Zixuan: rose petal tea with a dash of green tea leaves.

Waiter: coming right up.

A few minutes later.....

Zixuan: *sitting upright*

Yao: are you going to eat?

Zixuan: yea Yaoyao, one second.

I'm waiting for someone to hand me my chopsticks.

Yao: *laughing slighly* oh Zishie. Your chopsticks are right next to you.

Zixuan: *sigh* right.

Zixuan: what's next, Foxy?

Yao: you decide!

Zixuan: your empire.

Yao: ok fine. Maybe we can experience things with the people.

~~Afterwards~~~

They went to someone who was doing pottery and making other crafts.

Yao: ohhh, you do pottery!

Can we help?

X: Yea sure, go for it.

Zixuan: your paint is really pigmented.

X: thank you. It's our hulijing specialty. We have the best of the best material to make beautiful things.

Zixuan: aww.

Yao: lovely. I do know about the talents of the fox spirits here.

X: mhm. Gongzi, are you going to start.

Yao and Zixuan: Yes!!!

X: *pointing to Zixuan* I don't think that Gongzi is able to do pottery.

Zixuan: why not?

X: because you look like you hate getting dirty.

Zixuan: well.....but I would love to experience doing it.

Yao: yea! Xuan gege can definitely do pottery. Like, look at those knuckles. They're perfect for molding.

Zixuan: really, Yaoyao?

Yao: and look at that face? He would look so amazing with mud on it.

Zixuan: I think that's it.

Yao: shhh. Have you heard of a mud facial. It's good for the skin.

And besides Xuanxuan grew lotuses for his lady friend once.

Zixuan: *blushing*

X: *confused*

Li Yitong, Puff Kuo star in adaptation of erotica Bloody Romance

Li Yitong, Puff Kuo star in adaptation of erotica Bloody Romance

Puffy flowers on dress : fairy-like or five-year-old’s holiday dress?

Based on the erotic novel of the same name, Bloody Romance 媚者无疆 focuses on a group of courtesans who uses their job to double as assassins. I imagine they would have to change it significantly to get it approved for general viewership since China has no ratings system, but the trailer seems to be pretty blunt on what it’ll be…

the thread where mo ran finds cwn’s nudes [wip, unedited] PART 2

twitter thread

part 1 on tumblr

There is absolutely no way that Mo Ran is gonna go to class after this. Not when it's three hours in a darkened lecture hall listening to Chu Wanning's voice, scratchy over the shitty sound system, explain fucking— momentum, or whatever

Unfortunately for him, as he's leaving the engineering building, it happens. "Mo Ran!" the 'you dog' went unsaid. Somehow it was clearly audible

Xue Meng hustled over as fast as his tiny little legs could can him, scowling up a storm. "Where are you going? Huh? Skipping?" it's actually really funny, the way he gets in close and then has to tilt his head up to Mo Ran to maintain eye contact

If he had any plans to (he did) they're gone now. Xue Meng is the worst combination of unavoidable and a huge fuckin simp for teacher. If Mo Ran just leaves little mengmeng will hound him for weeks and probably get uncle and Chu Wanning in on it too

Chu Wanning's phone is burning a hole in his pocket as he follows Xue Meng to the lecture hall, Xue Meng already talking about the practical applications of blah blah Mo Ran isn't listening

Maybe another day he would. But right now he has more important things on his mind Chu Wanning is fiddling with his laptop, bent over with his ass sticking out just a hit and Mo Ran is thinking very hard about not thinking about walking over and copping a feel or giving it a good slap

He'd jump and yelp and stagger forward, presenting his ass for more and— not thinking about that. No thoughts. Head empty. Mo Ran has never had a thought in his life and he's not about to start now

By the time he realises Xue Meng has put them smack dab in the middle of the second row, directly in Chu Wanning's sight line it's too late to pick his shit up and move, especially because Shi Mei has spotted them and is approaching with a delicate smile on his face

Things are kind of awkward with Shi Mwi right now. Mo Ran had a crush on him for ages, like, literal years, but recently he's started to realise that Shi Mei maybe doesn't like him that much? Or, like, at all?

It's all rumours and hearsay and a web of half truths and flat out lies that Mo Ran's been accidentally uncovering these past couple of months

Shi Mei says hello with the kind of heartfelt warmth that Mo Ran is growing increasingly suspicious of, and when Mo Ran says hi back, his voice lacks its usual enthusiasm

It's lucky that Xue Meng is feeling especially chatty today, quickly sweeping Shi Mei up in conversation. Mo Ran is left to sit between them with his bag spilling half its contents onto the floor, staring at the spot of space right next to Chu Wanning's head

Chu wanning smiles in that small triumphant way he does and the projector fizzles to life behind him, bathing him in stark white and black text. When he steps back, fiddling w the disconnected lavelier mic clipped to his collar, his eyes find Mo Ran's

It's technically the same sort of moment that litters all of Mo Ran's classes with Chu Wanning. His face falling from a neutral expression into a frown deepening the lines between his brows, his lips tightening

Usually when Mo Ran sees that he wants to turn away, or maybe jokingly smooth his thumbs over his eyebrows and suggest botox. Today he finds himself wanting to kiss the tightness from the corners of Chu Wanning's mouth

He wants Chu Wanning so overwhelmed with want that he can't speak, can only make little frustrated noises in the back of his throat, can only reach for Mo Ran and beg with his entire body to be touched

Outside of the fantasy, Chu Wanning has gone from frowning to thunderous. He's looked away from Mo Ran and he's yanking on his ponytail harshly, stomping his feet as he paces his way to his habitual position just outside the projectors wash of light

Mo Ran's probably jsut seeing whatever he wants to see, but he thinks the tips of Chu Wanning's ears are flushed bright pink
