fuck, ok, i'm watching episode forty again because i am nothing if not supportive when someone i know needs to devastate themself, but it does mean that i have once again watched the 'i'm a little hungry now. go make me a meal,' exchange.

i have noted before that this scene kills me, because it's the one time that fang duobing doesn't let li lianhua distract him. he sees the attempt at the distraction, he thinks he knows what's happening, and he says 'actually, no, not this time,' and he brushes it off.

li lianhua hands over the 'recipe book' knowing full well that if fang duobing opens it, he'll see what it is. he'll see what it is and he'll know what it means, because how could he not?

you have to wonder if part of li lianhua hoped he would. if he hoped that fang duobing would open it and realise what it was, because that would change things. it would have to change things. it's a quiet, miserable bet that he makes with himself: he knows fang duobing well enough to know that he won't look.

and he wins. fang duobing runs off, hoping against hope that he can still fix this, that he can still save li lianhua. he won't realise until he comes back and finds li lianhua gone and opens the book on the table to realise what he's been left.

you have to assume that fang duobing spends the next three months, if not longer, playing this back with a lot of what ifs in his head. what if he'd listened. what if he'd waited. what if he'd looked. it's the last thing that li lianhua ever asked of him, and he brushed it off.

li lianhua, on the other hand. fang duobing brushes him off, sets the book on the table and runs off to find guan hemeng. li lianhua wins his bet with himself: he knows fang xiaobao just as well as he thought he did. he knows him well enough that he can tell himself that he'll be fine.

he's known all along that it would end this way. he's known all along that he was dying and he would leave. he knew fang duobing wouldn't open that book, and he didn't; he freezes li lianhua and he leaves. and li lianhua watches him go, protesting, and when he thinks fang duobing is out of earshot, he goes quiet. he sighs. it worked just like he knew it would. he slumps a little bit. (maybe it worked just liked he hoped it wouldn't.)

and then

he fucking

Reading @/cordeliawhohung's ps!Gaz and @/shotmrmiller's ps!Ghost is making me want to get back into 141 Studio and dick around in that world. (Pun intended 😉)

Snippet below the cut because I can?

Have some of Samantha's (screen name Poppy) interview for Studio 141. No explicit anything, but it is a discussion about the porn industry, so 18+ rating applies.

~~

“So, Samantha,” Laswell’s face was placid, her blue eyes scanning Samantha’s face. “Why Studio 141?”

“Well, for starters, the interview room doesn’t have a musty leather couch I have to sit on,” Samantha joked. She swallowed, eyes flicking anxiously over as Price huffed softly. She defaulted to her practiced spiel, “Studio 141 is known within the porn industry as being as ethical, fair and inclusive as possible - values that are important to me as both a consumer and as a performer.”

“You watch our work then?” Price’s voice interrupted her practiced answer.

Samantha nodded, as she felt heat prickle up her ears as she ducked her head briefly. “I - I do. I - shit this feels - fuck, I’m so sorry for my - damn.” She took a steadying breath, closing her eyes for a second. “Sorry - I’ve been subscribed to Studio 141’s exclusive access tier since it was an option in my budget, which was about six years ago, about three months after the studio broke away from Porn Inc. To say I’ve watched y’all grow as a company sounds weird, but…I sort of have.”

She met Price’s eyes again, as he pressed further, leaning forward on the table. “So you are familiar with our ethics and standards. Why should we invite you in as a performer with Studio 141?”

Samantha pulled her eyes away from how his shirt sleeve pulled at his shoulders and how his hands folded themselves together over the folder, meeting Laswell’s piercing gaze. With a slight clearing of her throat, Samantha opened her folder and launched into her spiel.

I love To Helicon and Back so much. Gabrielle leading armies is like my favourite thing, and I love the D-Day war film aesthetic lol, there's something very satisfying about seeing that whole noble charge into death vibe perfectly pastiched but with a bunch of women instead of men.

And it's just so satisfyingly dark for Gabrielle. The ep pulls no punches lol, she's gotta make the calls, she's gotta send specific people out to sacrifice themselves, she's gotta feed corpses to sharks, she's gotta demote Varia herself, all while epically dodging explosions. imo season 6 really does nail the sort of Xena Gabrielle roleswap in which Xena's learned the value of peace and Gabrielle's drawn into bloodshed, and this ep perfectly illustrates that.

The "To a strong Amazon nation" bookends are so effective.

lol though at how every Amazon is wearing their classic bikini style outfits except for like, the one northern Amazon queen who gets to be fully clothed. There's something funny about the consistent worldbuilding there, the way the two different regions of Amazons are like on exact opposite ends of the X:WP cheesecake scale.
