yk, I think it's really funny (I'm about to cry) that in the s1 ep11 - s2 ep1, when cheng xiaoshi sees lu guang dying, he keeps his mind clear, fights well with the possessed qiao ling, not letting the red eyes guy harm her at the same time worries about lu guang and, as we later find out, also remembers the info (like he was able to tell the most important moments without hesitation). i mean, lu guang does look pretty dead at this moment, but xiaoshi is still holding up well, wow

meanwhile, lu guang, when he sees qian jin hurting xiaoshi... well, he's not just scared af, he immediately, I would even say, mindlessly rushes at qian jin (not even checking on xiaoshi lol (I think he understands that this shoot will not kill him but still-)

usually lu guang is the one who keeps his mind clear and calm in all situations, when cheng xiaoshi very often acts rashly and thoughtlessly driven by emotions (even if in the season 2 he is a little more rational)

but when danger threatens dear people..

lu guang is the one who will be ready to kill for someone who is dear to his heart, aaand xiaoshi is able to pull himself together and act consistently

I think it might also work with the "go back in time and save a life" thingie, like xiaoshi is able to resist his wish to dive back in time and save his bf, even if it kills him inside and all this because of lu guang's words and his own understanding what his actions may entail

(we don't know what he would do if he saw lu guang's dead body, but the fact is that he cannot allow himself to do something so serious with the flow of time)

while lu guang is ready to become the main hypocrite in the world, make irreparable changes in the flow of time, and take this sin upon himself, if only cheng xiaoshi would live.

so I wonder if this is because lu guang has already witnessed several deaths of cheng xiaoshi or is he initially more protective and emotional, but he's really good at hiding it?

This is my first time actually drawing him, I think I did pretty well!

The tweet that inspired this, he enjoyed the drawing if you were curious :D

since i already drew xiaoshi and lu guang, here’s some love for my queen qiao ling 🙏 i absolutely adore her dynamic with xiaoshi in particular and how she’s such a strong and independent character who keeps both xiaoshi and lu guang in check lol

uuuhh, I dunno if somebody has already talked about this, but whatever, I just need to discuss it, so

ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION

on which hand does lu guang wear his watch in donghua?

um, okay, I guess it's pretty easy, look

it's right hand, isn't it?

but

what about cheng xiaoshi death flashback?

left

why?

it's just does not seem like it can be such a big mistake 'cause they are too in love with small details to forget about the right(lol) hand. I mean, they stick to this hand throughout the season, even in those moments when we hardly see this watch

oh, and

at the dive moment it's again right (I mean, it has to be the same day, why)

what is it about?

sooooooooo

my fav thought is the mirror. I mean, in the mirror, your left hand becomes your right hand, right?

the mirror seems to be a reference to a parallel universe or another timeline. what if in the original timeline, lu guang wore his watch on his left hand, but after the first dive it moved to his right hand because it is no longer the original timeline, but one of its reflections. So this change shows us that it's a different timeline, I mean if it's the 5th dive including the donghua timeline (and 4 deaths :'), so maybe we're being given the opportunity to distinguish the first timeline from the others? or maybe it was lu guang's choice, like that very cute and positive password-reminder with the date of his bf death.

there may be different variations, for example, if the theory that lu guang was possessed (and killed xiaoshi) is true, then, for example, imagine that someone took over his body in the morning and, while getting dressed, unconsciously puts a watch on his left hand because he is right-handed, (unlike lu guan)????

or I'm overthinking, and this boy just likes to change the position of his watch, or whatever

🎶 you should really stop thinkin bout it stop thinkin bout stop stop thinkin bout it why your mind overclouded 🎶
