one day i will write a proper per episode post about yibo’s show, but right now, just sharing some really heart felt reactions from people who watched the documentary. 🫶🏼

yibo is so easy to love if you just give him the chance!

(P1) "exploring the unknown" is a must-see for every postgraduate candidate preparing for the exam. I originally watched it with the mentality of watching a documentary about wilderness science, but after watching it, I realized that I was narrow-minded. This is not just a documentary about survival in the wilderness. In the journey of exploring the unknown, we are often driven by a desire to conquer, eager to challenge the limits and prove our strength. However, there is such a documentary that subverts the traditional concept of exploration. It is not about how to conquer nature, but about how to coexist harmoniously with nature and how to love every inch of land on this planet. The protagonist of this documentary is none other than Wang Yibo. He was not challenging the authority of nature, but challenging his own limits. I really like what he said: "I never believed that I couldn't complete it, it was just a matter of time." This sentence really gave me a lot of thoughts. Looking back at the time when I was taking the postgraduate entrance examination, if I had seen such a documentary, I would really have less anxiety. In the process of the examination, everyone is challenging their own limits. Because I took the postgraduate entrance examination relatively late at that time, I didn't have much time left. At that time, I was anxious and uneasy. Fortunately, I met a group of very good people at that time, which allowed me to quickly get out of anxiety. The postgraduate entrance examination is a long and challenging process, which requires you to have a firm will and good qualities.

(P2) In order to get to know my daughter's idol better, I watched it again..."Exploring the Unknown" made us feel a different Wang Yibo.

In the past, we felt more about him in film and television works, and documentaries are different from film and television works, because the characters in film and television works are more about the plot settings, while the characters in documentaries are closer to the characters themselves. But the documentary is different from ordinary documentaries. It is not just about recording scenes and processes, but about challenging and experiencing the extreme geographical environment.

First of all, you must have the courage to challenge, and dare to challenge, especially when facing an unknown and uncontrollable environment, people will involuntarily produce fear, which really tests the courage and courage of the participants, and in "Exploring the Unknown", Wang Yibo showed it vividly, allowing us to feel the power from him. Just like what Wang Yibo said in the film, "I used to think that every time I did something new, the first time in my life would become less, but after trying, I found that there would be infinite first times. Secondly, you need to have super physical fitness. The complex natural environment of Ba Wang Ling, what you will encounter and what will happen in the process of chasing gibbons are all unpredictable and uncontrollable, and the necessary condition to face it calmly is that your physical fitness must be absolutely super. Long-distance hiking and swimming, Wang Yibo's super physical fitness is fully displayed. Super physical fitness is not trained overnight, nor is it obtained by persistence for one or two years. It is the result of more than ten years of accumulation, perseverance and self-discipline. It also shows the superhuman perseverance.

(P3) I have a new understanding of the stars my daughter likes. Last night, I watched the documentary "Exploring the Unknown" created by Wang Yibo. This is the first time I have watched a star program carefully from beginning to end. Although Wang Yibo's name has worn calluses on my ears, why do I say that? Because my daughter is his die-hard fan. After watching the program last night, I really got to know him and it really touched me. In the Hainan Bawangling Nature Reserve with a temperature of up to 35 degrees, we all know that the temperature is 35 degrees, but people may feel nearly 45 degrees. At the same time, they are also tested by various animals. In such an environment, in order to throw a rope to the opposite tree, he threw it for a whole hour, doing repeated actions again and again, and thinking about the skills and strength of the actions again and again. In the middle, the explorer said to take a break and come back, but he did not stop and still insisted on throwing it down. Seeing this makes me admire him, and it makes me understand why he can succeed. His tenacity, perseverance, his determination to achieve his goal, his fearlessness of hardships, and his courage in the face of adversity are destined to make him successful. He is the spiritual representative of the younger generation. I remember his donations and on-site disaster relief during the 21st flood in Henan. He is a public figure with a sense of responsibility and mission. So my daughter likes him, which makes me feel relieved. Because I believe that she can definitely draw more positive energy from Wang Yibo, because she likes him, she will definitely make herself better.

WujiWatch: CQL Rewatch Episode 23

Long time, no WujiWatch! But I’ve been reading Catching Chen Qing Ling and it’s put me in an analytical mood about The Untamed again. Picking up where we left off...

Episode 23 has at least two iconic Wangxian scenes: Lan Wangji’s visit to a recovering Wei Wuxian’s sickbed to play Clarity, and the “I am not Wen Ruohan” conversation on the same clifftop where they will meet again in the last moments of Wei Wuxian’s (first) life. One thing I didn’t realize until this rewatch is the way those two scenes are tied together; that the second one picks up, thematically, where the first one left off.

The Clarity scene is interrupted by the screams of Wens being rounded up (and perhaps killed on the spot) and the shouts of their pursuers. Wei Wuxian immediately looks disturbed and asks what’s going on; Lan Wangji says, “they’re hunting down the rest of the Wens” and looks not disturbed at all. I am very good at interpreting Wang Yibo’s microexpressions by now, and this dude is 0% bothered. That is especially striking since the very next scene is all about (among other things) Lan Xichen being very disturbed at the prospect of murdering Wen civilians. By this point in the drama, Lan Wangji has made some progress toward moral nuance—but it’s all specifically Wei Wuxian-focused. His view of the rest of the world is still very black and white. The Wens are bad, so it’s appropriate for bad things to happen to them. End of story.

That’s how the Clarity scene ends, and then, as mentioned, we have the scene where 3zun and Jin Guangshan debate the treatment of the surviving Wens. After that, we have the clifftop scene—and what I’d forgotten is that the first line of dialogue in this scene is Wei Wuxian asking Lan Wangji, “What do you think of the people here [in Nightless City]? Who is good and who is bad?” The fate of the defeated Wens is still very much on Wei Wuxian’s mind. And it’s still a matter of no concern for Lan Wangji: he ignores Wei Wuxian’s question. He doesn’t want to talk about the larger events happening in Nightless City – he only wants to talk about, and help, Wei Wuxian. This foreshadows the scene in the rain at Qiongqi Dao – the moment when the hero of the common people looks at a group of starving, abused civilians and says to Wei Wuxian, in effect, Let them die—because otherwise, I’ll lose you.

(One other note from this episode that passed me by in every prior viewing, although maybe everyone else knew it: Lan Wangji knows the Yin Tiger Seal is made out of Yin Iron, very early on. In the clifftop scene, Wei Wuxian admits the sword he found in the Xuanwu Cave was made of Yin Iron and that he refined the Yin Tiger Seal out of it (albeit in one of his bullshit “What if I told you…” phrasings), and Lan Wangji confirms that he knows by asking, “Since you knew it was Yin Iron, why did you use/refine it?” While everyone else in the drama is resorting to innuendo and suspicion—and while Wei Wuxian is denying it to everyone else—Lan Wangji knew the truth all along.)

Standing behind their boss, these characters are the first defence against all the absurdity that plagues their life. Often they don't have that many lines, but what they do have is eyestrain from all the eye-rolling they do on a daily basis.

They deserve a nap, a drink, and a raise (not necessarily in that order)... This week's poll is 'Most Long-suffering Lieutenant in Cdrama'

*sorry Ling Buyi's aides, I really couldn't remember your names, just your excellent side-eye

Propaganda, examples, and write-ins absolutely welcome!

#poll #nirvana in fire #love between fairy and devil #oh my general #league of nobleman #blood of youth #the disguiser #mysterious lotus casebook #word of honor #love like the galaxy #joy of life #my journey to you

The Blossom surrounded by Fire - Ch. 40 (Warrior AU- HBO MAX)

Li Yong’s cock was churning my insides as he gripped my hips guiding me up and down on him. The storm that rolled in grew heavier as our bodies moved in perfect sync together. I was sat perfectly on his lap moving my hips move and more on him. I could feel him in my stomach.

His mouth on my throbbing pussy alone was enough to make me push everything that happened today to the back of my mind. My body harness was on the ground, thrown off into the darkness.

“I never want to see this on you again.”

His words were thick and commanding. I wouldn’t disobey. I moaned out rhythmically with each sharp movement of our hips. My arms were wrapped around his neck, and he was looking all over my face and ears with such devotion. I had never seen such look in a man’s eyes before. He used one hand to curl up in my hair and bring me close to him, our chests rubbing together. His other hand still had a tight hold on my hip guiding me up and down on him. I whimpered out lowly feeling that tightness in me coil up even harder.

I then feel a gush of pleasure and I jerk forward some, moaning hard and holding Li Yong against my body. He keeps moving my hips however, overstimulating me to a point of no return. He draws out my orgasm until I’m screaming with pleasure against him. I feel him release everything inside me and he lets out a guttural grunt as holds my hips firmly down, so he doesn’t waste a single drop inside me.

We collapsed on the bed panting heavily together. The lust cleared from our eyes as we watched each other, and slowly he ran his hand over my hip.

“On a lighter note… Kong Pak likes you.” he said.

I felt we should be talking about everything that went down tonight, from the Irish attacking to Long Zii’s assassination. But somehow, hearing his words made my eyes sparkle as the lust faded from my eyes.

“How do you know?” I asked. Li Yong smiled warmly as he brought his hand up to caress my cheek.

“He invited you to tea… that’s a very good sign.” he said. That’s right, the Jiang Yao leader did invite us over for tea to talk and train. I smiled warmly.

“I am glad your mentor approves of me.” I replied gently. However, worry began to dance in my eyes and Li Yong saw this. His stare remained light.

“You are worried about Long Zii.” he said. I nodded slowly.

“I guess I am just worried… you say you will take care of everything, but I have no idea if that will have consequences for me or the tong.” I replied. Li Yong nodded.

“This tong is my responsibility, and you are a part of it. Mai Ling will either want to hunt down the culprit responsible or she will be too happy at taking over the tong fully to truly care who did it.” he said. I shook my head.

“But in some way won’t she feel outsmarted? Will you ever tell her it was you?” I asked. Li Yong shook his head.

“She thinks it was the Hop Wei, that’s all she needs to believe. She will never know I was behind it.” he explained. And now a secret has formed between us, and I nodded slowly looking down over his body, admiring the scars that he had on his body from years of survival. I gently nodded remembering all the times he has been there for me, protected me. I moved to his hand that was on my face and gently curled our hands together.

“I’ll take that secret to the grave with me. I trust you.” I said. He smiled and nodded leaning forward to press a gentle kiss to my lips. I responded without hesitation. “But who did you work with to… do the deed while we were at the fight?”

He grinned and shook his head.

“The little you know, the better. Just do your part as a healer and I will do mine.” he said. I nodded at his words decided not to press as he was right, the little I knew the better.

The next morning, funeral arrangements were being prepared by the tong for Long Zii and some of the fallen men. There would a meeting being held to discuss the future of the tong. I did meet with Mai Ling alone who was in a pale white gown. A white flower in her hair. It was just she and I in her room. She stared out the window of her room. She looked very beautiful in white.

“Long Zii won yesterday’s fight… but due to the Irish and Fung Hai and Hop Wei stepping in, we are back at square one with Zing. We owe him yet again for his help… seeing as we have a partnership, it’s only a matter time before he uses that against me when it comes to you.” she said, her voice cold and low. I winced at her words but was not too surprised. Zing knew how to be a step ahead of the game. He saw those Irish and only thought of using them to his advantage.

“What do you want of me Mai Ling?” I asked. She finally turned to me and approached with her fingers together.

“I want you to ensure Zing’s dick stays wet, so he doesn’t cause trouble.” she said. I could see in her eyes, she emotional, she’s angry that someone killed her husband before she could. “I know what I am asking for will be… unbearable for you. But if someone could kill my husband before I could, then that means someone could kill me. I need Zing’s loyalty, his tong’s strength and his business.”

I stared at her for a moment watching as he approached and took my hands in hers. Her eyes were now gentle and soft.

“Amaka… you are one of the few people I trust in this tong. I need you to do this for me.” she said with a hint of firmness. I looked at her with strength in my eyes and I nodded.

“I will do what my tong leader asks of me.” I said with a gentle bow of my head.

“I thank you… You will go to the Fung Hai and show your gratitude for Zing’s help on my behalf and this will stay between you and I. Li Yong need not know and stress himself out of your duties.” she said. I felt my stomach tighten at her words and I looked up and nodded.

“Yes Mai Ling.” I replied. She nodded.

“Good.” she replied.

“What about the Hop Wei, they helped too.” I replied. Mai Ling stiffened and turned from me.

“Soon I will wave war on them for all the trouble they have caused my tong… but I need to be sure that they were the ones who did this before I make this war permanent. Young Jun favors you, I want you to find out what he knows, I don’t care how you get this information.” she said coolly. I kept my body still, my face blank to show I was listening. The life of a slave has taught me to keep a straight face when needed and right now I needed to do that. She wants me to fuck Hop Wei too to find out if they truly killed Long Zii? What difference would it made if they did or didn’t? She wanted them dead no matter what. I nodded.

“I will do this.” I replied and she nodded.

“Before I forget… I had spoken with Ah Toy, she was very happy to give some dresses to you. You and she have gotten close, so she had some dresses sent to your home. I allowed the carrier to bring them to your room.

I had returned to my home upon hearing about these dresses and was quite shocked at how beautiful and color each dress was. I could tell many of them were made to resemble Ah Toy’s sense of fashion. The colors were soft however to show my caring nature and responsibility as a doctor. The different designs and patters were beautiful. But where could I wear such a dress to, the brothel perhaps? I was moving to put all the dresses away then grabbed the dress I wore yesterday. As I emptied the pockets I saw a piece of paper inside. I remembered Hong said he stuck it inside.

Great. I looked at the address and saw it was at the Barbary Coast. Did he expect me to just waltz through there on my own? That place was not a place I needed to walk at alone that was for sure. I couldn’t worry about that now. I got dressed in one of my usual gowns and headed into town needing to be on my own for a bit to think. Word will soon spread that Long Zii is dead, and Mai Ling will inevitably take over. She will get push back if not from her tong’s elders, then from the other tongs. She may be cunning but she’s still a woman. As I moved through the busy streets, I feel my body bump into a figure in all black. A bull, I immediately recoiled with a chant of sorries ready, however the man held his hands up with a smile.

“Officer Lee.” I replied and the man tipped his hat to me.

“Amaka, good morning.” he said almost cheerfully. I gave a soft nod.

“Hello.” I replied. He stood up straight now.

“I uh… was hoping to find you somewhere here on my patrol.” he said. I was a bit worried now. The cops were looking for me. Was it due to the Irish?

“What would the cops want of me?” I asked. He immediately shook his head chuckling a bit.

“Not the department- me specifically. I was curious about you and your ears. I gotta say I have never met a woman with special ears like yours.” he said. I noticed the accent immediately now that we weren’t surrounded by crowds of people. I tensed some, not only at his accent, but as well as the few Fung Hai men making their presence known in the distance of the town. It seemed they were keeping an eye on me for their leader.

“You’re from the south.” I commented looking up at him again. Lee nodded.

“Yes ma’am. Savannah, Georgia to be exact.” he said. My chest tightened at his words.

“I see.” I replied and looked around some thinking it wasn’t best to be talking so openly to a bull. “Well welcome to Chinatown.”

I turned from him and then felt his hand on my forearm.

“Oh wait. I was wondering… if you and I could sometime. I mean I would like to know how your ears got like that.” he said. I noticed the Fung Hai members didn’t seem too pleased at how close Lee was to me nor his hand on me. I looked away nervously before looking up at him.

“I’m sorry Officer Lee… I don’t think my people would like that. I’m sorry I must go.” I replied lowly. He could see the nervousness in my eyes and immediately let me go.

“Of course… um, I hope we can talk again.” he said tipping his hat to me and I nodded and separated from him. I felt a wave of anxiety crushing down on me.

Li Yong killed Long Zii. Mai Ling thinks the Hop Wei killed Long Zii and soon the two tongs will go to war. Mai Ling wants me to keep Zing in place which is a very risky move seeing that no one could control that man. And now I am forced to keep that information hidden from Li Yong as well as having to go to the Hop Wei about Long Zii knowing they weren’t responsible or maybe they were. Li Yong got someone to kill Long Zii. It couldn’t be some bum off the street, no. They’d never survive the other enforcers let alone take down some of them to get to Long Zii. No whoever this person was, they had skill. They had to be a tong member.

I thought about who I could go see in this moment, who I could talk to. During this time, Chao was most likely doing business with someone. I guess Ah Toy was the only option. I should thank her for the dresses anyways.

Once I made it to her brothel, I was let in, and Lai saw me from the top of the stairs. I smiled as she hurried down the stairs and approached me with a smile. I smiled back.

“Hi Lai. I feel like it’s been a while since we have seen each other… is Ah Toy here?” I asked. She nodded and motioned toward the stairs. I assumed she was in her room. I said a brief thanks for making my way up to her room. I could hear movement behind her door.

“Ah Toy, it’s Amaka.” I replied.

“Come.” I heard after a few seconds. I stepped inside and found her bed and she was in it, naked. But she was not alone. Curled up in her arms was none other than Nellie, naked, herself. She saw me and looked a bit stunned as did I.

“Ah Toy. Nellie.” I replied. Both ladies smiled.

“Amaka.” they said with a purr. I could tell they were both devoured by lust right now, but I did not have the energy.

“I am sorry I didn’t mean to disturb you. I can come back later.” I replied. Ah Toy held her hand up to stop me from moving.

“No you’re fine, what’s the matter?” she asked. I looked between both of them for a moment, unsure of what all I should say. But with Nellie here there was no trust. I couldn’t speak in front of her. I just smiled.

“I just wanted to thank you for the dresses.” I replied. Ah Toy looked at my face and we both knew I had come here for something else, but she nodded, not pressing me.

“Of course, I felt they would be lovely for midnight outings to places where all are accepted.” she said ominously. Oh my God she knows about Hong and my plan to go to this place of his at Barbary Coast. I was stunned as she grinned. “Also, meet Hong at the rice shop an hour before, he said you’d know what he meant. But don’t get caught.”

I was more stunned that she’d actually pass on that message, but I just nodded.

“Thank you… Nellie.”

Nellie smiled and kissed Ah Toy’s shoulder.

“Amaka.” she said and turned and left the room. Great, so I couldn’t talk to her. I can’t talk to anyone here. But maybe that’s for the best. I would need to handle these two tongs the only way I knew how. I couldn’t forget what Ah Toy had taught me. I needed to use my body to my advantage and I will do so, for my tong.

Hiiii, if it's not too much, can you describe the biggest differences between the live action characters and the novel characters in MDZS? They are a lot, so I will love even the difference between few of them! I haven't seen the live action and I don't know if I will ever, but I am curious, considering all the meta. Anyway, thank you in general, even if you don't answer!

Hello anon! This has been in the inbox forever because there are soooo many ways to answer this! However, let me be transparent that I've watched maybe like 1/10 of CQL. Among other obstacles, I simply do not care that much about Lan Wangji and he's always there (even though Wang Yibo is giving it his all... it's not his fault I'm a hater...). Chewing through a book with Ms. Mxtx's commentary was just more enjoyable to me, and even then, to be honest, I still liked SVSSS better. (I just love Shen Yuan/Shen Qingqiu so much. That dude is wild.)

Still, the live action definitely affected how I understood certain characters (...primarily Nie Huaisang) and made me interested in relationships that I didn't pay any attention to in the novel. (I freely admit that the nieyao brainrot is 100% CQL's fault.) Also I found Wang Zhuocheng's Jiang Cheng very cute and loveable. It definitely contributed to my Jiang Cheng Brain Disease.

LISTEN. HE HAS BIG SAD EYES AND THE MEANEST SNEER AND HE MIGHT BURST INTO TEARS AT ANY TIME. HE IS A BABY. A baby who could kill you with his terrifying lightning whip! But a baby nonetheless, to me.

So if you want someone with a real and knowledgeable opinion on the live action, I'm probably not the right person for that! However, here's one difference that changed a bunch of stuff about the characters that I found compelling in the novel: the second flautist.

CQL adds Su She as a second flautist doing unorthodox cultivation in a couple of different places, including at Qiongqi Path, where he seizes control of Wen Ning and is therefore responsible for Jin Zixuan's death. Removing the responsibility for Jin Zixuan's death from Wei Wuxian creates a bunch of cascading character and relationship implications that I don't love.

Firstly, all of the people who cautioned Wei Wuxian against his unorthodox cultivation are now... wrong. If he never lost control, then actually his assessment that he could maintain control wasn't overconfidence, it was just true, and he was persecuted because the Jin needed a scapegoat and wanted the Yin Tiger Tally, not because his cultivation path actually involved significant risks and drawbacks. (To be fair, the Jins actively exploited those drawbacks, the public perception of his cultivation, and Wei Wuxian's failure to manage his reputation. But it matters whether the risks exist or are just made up.)

Secondly, removing his responsibility for Jin Zixuan's death transforms both Wei Wuxian's character and how we understand his relationships with Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng, and Jin Ling. Because, in the novel, he kills Jin Zixuan under duress but also after a lifetime of conflict with him. Like, he hates the dude, he doesn't think he's worthy of Jiang Yanli, and he's not willing to examine his hatred and resentment even though Jiang Yanli loves Jin Zixuan and wants to marry him, even after she marries him and has a child with him. (I would argue that a lot of the resentment is because of the eventual marriage; by marrying Jiang Yanli, Jin Zixuan becomes legally recognized family to the Jiang siblings, while Wei Wuxian's relationship with them has no social recognition; I think Wei Wuxian is deeply threatened by that but can't articulate it.) It's a huge failure! Like, dude, you loved someone and you killed that person's beloved spouse. That points to a certain degree of repressed jealousy, possessiveness, longing, arrogance, the list goes on... I am so compelled by that conflict, and the adaptation just erases it.

This also affects how we read Jin Ling's relationship with Wei Wuxian. In one scenario, a teenage Jin Ling is (eventually, minus one little stab) ending the cycle of violence by not seeking vengeance for his father's murder. In the other, it was actually someone associated with Jin Ling's paternal family that killed his father, and he's maybe just... coming to terms with that? One of these scenarios is so much richer and more interesting.

How it affects the relationship between Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian is a little more subtle. It locates the responsibility for a lot of the harm done to the Jiang siblings with the Jin sect, not with Wei Wuxian, removing some of Wei Wuxian's culpability in the devolution of his relationship with Jiang Cheng. If Wei Wuxian isn't guilty of wronging the Jiang family (and instead is also a victim of the Jin sect), then all of Jiang Cheng's rage and betrayal was misdirected. They were both tricked. In some ways, maybe that's easier to patch up after canon? (I wonder if this is why many CQL yunmeng shuangjie reconciliation fics have Jiang Cheng apologize to Wei Wuxian, but not the other way around?) But it's so much less interesting to me!

Finally, it removes Wei Wuxian's tragic flaw! Dude is legitimately a genius but he's got hubris coming out of his ears and it fucks him up big time! This is classic stuff. Please stop flattening my boy!!

#alas I am outed as a fake CQL fan after all #sorry y'all #I love all the edits though. I am stuffing them into my horrible little mouth every day #I'm the worst kind of fake CQL fan because my brain has fully mashed some of the series I've seen together with the novel events #FINALLY I JUST LOVE...
