Also though I think via last post, emotional silly liveblogging is kind of expected anyway. Nice pretty well weighed meta is impressive but it's not liveblogged in the moment usually. (Also people liveblog being angry at a scene in the moment Because it's meant to make u angry, even as in the long term they appreciate it for making them angry and making a brilliant thematic point - like Bai Lin being so awful and abusive and violating I coukdnt stop screaming seeing him, an excellent subversion of the usual xianxia romantic lead turning it into the villain. Or people love waxing poetic on a ship when it's overall a very small part of their appreciation of the material, like me with pingxie I do care about it but it's a very small part of my enjoyment of dmbj, or even weilan while written to hit very specific things I enjoy I actually love the mutants as metaphors and commentary on society Guardian does and that alone would have made it one of my favorite shows so Zhao yunlan being bi like me and a romantic relationship hitting as much I enjoy as theirs and as close as spirk like theirs is just extra wonderful but not the only thing I care about by far, etc. Liveblogging just tends to skew emotional reaction and quick fun tidbits one notices - or painful ones lol). At least that's what I assume is sometimes the case...
#rant#also fyi i love when mutuals liveblog. bothing makes me intrigued by a show#like incomprehensible but interestjng commentary on something ive got no context for but sounds Intriguing#all the cang lan jue liveblogging prepared me zero percent for how GREAT#it is as a xianxia doing things nuanced and not traditional and doing them exceptionally well#jnstead the liveblogging was very surface level demon king and fairy tropes. but it got me to check it out so im very happy it did!!#gay vampires being messy is gonna get people into iwtv#and i do enjoy that part. but i think the meat of iwtv#is more louis grand view of morality and good and evil and guilt and himself ans his loved ones and furure and past#which i relate to greatly. and its interaxtion with and contrast to lestats broken relationship with belief in other things#to lestats impulsive here and now and good is what we want and outside of that morality is unimportant#and claudia as a character study all her own is intricate and emotionally a lot#thats the real draw. but if gay fucked up vampires is an intro. it def would get me to chexk it out. u know what i mean
