The Drawing™: yet another uts2 meta

warning: spoilers for under the skin 2 episode 14, behind the cut! (although this particular moment also appears in various trailers too.) to lure you in, pls look at du cheng’s absolutely besotted face:

first you should know that just prior to this event, our leads have a ghastly argument in a parking lot, in which du cheng screams at shen yi because he was literally scared shitless, whereupon shen yi, being shen yi, instead of thinking “oh it's because he’s crazy about me and would die if anything happened to me,” instead decides, I Am A Bad Police Officer. he nobly offers to accept any punishment that du cheng wishes to mete out, and walks away numbly as du cheng yells in confusion WHERE ARE YOU GOING, come back here, we’re having a couple fight??? do you not understand how this works??? (and also i'm your ride back to the precinct, bc i drive you everywhere now.)

then they’re very awkward with each other for like two episodes, until this happens. du cheng sits down at his desk and notices a thing:

here it is. The Drawing. some of the most egregious CP this already blatant drama has ever offered us. off the chain. out of control. literally bonkers. THEY WERE INSANE FOR THIS.

at this time i would like to offer some interpretations of said drawing. here we go. pls hear the following in tan jianci's voice.

1) thank you for your (wordless, shoved-at-me, but nonetheless generous and gracious) gift. here’s a gift for you. i’m leaving it on your desk so you don’t have to talk to me about it because i know talking’s not really your thing (only yelling anxiously at me in parking lots).

2) i'm also aware that the last drawing of you that i gave you was an extremely unflattering and sarcastic portrait of you as an 8yo grouch, because at the time you were being a belligerent asshole. but that’s not how i see you anymore. and i haven't, not for a long time.

3) you’re still young in this drawing, though—not only to parallel that one, but because that’s how i see you inside. and not just because you’re younger than i am. you’re much more serious now, more responsible, more thoughtful, with more gravitas. you’re not the same impulsive hothead. but you’re still just a boy. i see you. i see the youthfulness inside your heart. there’s something young about you.

4) you’re in contrasting fauve pastels because you’re vibrant and full of life to me, yet i also see your softness. peachy orange for your energy and vitality. crayon blue for your police exterior, lawful and loyal.

5) i never frame anything but i framed this for you so you can keep it, and maybe you'll take it home and think about me when you see it.

6) because i think about you. i think about you when you’re not here. i think about you, in fact, a lot.

tl;dr don’t @ me yes they're drift compatible but also they’re in fucking love

Knowing how hyper aware and caring Ja’Marr is he probably recommended her to Tee due to all the injuries how sweet and thoughtful of him . God this man shouldn’t have this hold on me

you are sooo rightttt arghrgrhhh ja’marr is so!!! health conscious!!! talked about it a bit here on how ja'marr takes note of people's health and injuries so seriously and pushes them to get healthy over playing through their injuries :(((

he cares soooo deeply for people he keeps close and tee had all those deep tissue injuries that kept him back from playing with ja’marr :(( he’s gotta be vibrating with the need to mother hen the ever living shit out of tee and mentions his usual clinic but like forcefully because he can’t be casual about it and tee's like ok sure and ja’marr drags him to her like a pup trying to keep their favorite toy safe asking their owner to stitch up their ripped stuffing 💔💔💔

like imagining ja'marr being all fussy and pushy about tee going to her, who he knows and trusts and has seen actual results from in himself so he feels comfortable and confident in actually getting tee to do a session with her, and tee being exasperated at this loud little shit who would not shut up about him getting better so he goes partly because he trusts ja'marr and that he has his best interest at heart and he knows that the rehab session would be good for him but also in other part just to shut and soothe ja'marr up lmao.

heres one of their sessions that's like my favorite because wow ja'marr really answered the door like that huh. like loooook at him arhrghrgrrhhrh..........legs swinging listening to her in the beginning </3 and then fighting with her on whose nails are longer boy enough 😭 (insane ass size difference btw begging you all to pause at 1:19)

AND WOW OKAY SO i assumed this before but like wasn't 100% sure but -> pretty sure this is a home visit right and that background's literally where tee did his session SO. what I'm saying is. tee did his session at ja'marr's place. at the same day probably so when one was being metaphorically smushed to pieces and stabbed with tiny little needles the other was sitting on the couch next to them probably yapping endlessly trying to make them laugh and getting yelled at by dr. ashley to keep their mouth shut.

just. ja'marr had added tee to his usual sessions </3 probably already had a usual date and time set up for himself for his weekly (?) resets and asked if she could add tee to her schedule so he can do his own rehab session and that kind of fucks me up deep inside because what do you mean he made tee do his usual rehab with him so tee would be healthier....what do you mean..........what do you meannnnnnn

here's another ja'marr session where he did the entire thing in his beanie btw <3 miss him in braids in a beanie 😔

Happy Birthday, Alhaitham!

I wouldn't have guessed I'd bump into you two in a Sumeru tavern.

Here to give me your wishes? Thank you, it is indeed my birthday. I just hope that today will be as relaxing and enjoyable as any other.

The signature dish here at Lambad's Tavern is fish rolls. You should give them a try if you're interested.

If you stay a little longer, you'll see a couple of other familiar faces too. They're coming over from Avidya Forest, so they should be arriving any moment.

When there's something that calls for a celebration, we meet at the tavern — that's how it's always been with us four.

to all the muses out there who have been genuinely nice to leo:

i'm sorry

he is literally a disaster and a half (or maybe about 5385865363 disasters, tbqh) and is2g every single time anyone just shows common decency to him, he has an Entire Moment that should be backed up by a dramatic musical number at this rate bc jeezum

I am so fucking sick of living with my roommate and his fuck ass boyfriend. Also watching my roommate burn every single one of his (already rather minimal, I might add) bridges for this guy is also kind of painful but also his relationship with me is one of said bridges so I'm almost past the point of even feeling bad for him lmao

There's an English class on Golden Age detective fiction being offered next semester but the prerequisite for it is the intro to literary study class required for all English majors (which I haven't taken because I'm in a hard STEM major and don't have much time for electives, which means that I have to be really picky with my electives and only go for stuff I like AND doesn't have an awful workload) and also even if I did have that prereq, I wouldn't be able to take the class because it's at the same time as one of my major reqs. And also I'll be in two labs next semester and one of them is pure hell so like I literally don't have the time to take more than 13 credit hours (as tempting as it is to keep up my streak of taking 17-18 every semester even though it's been like really pretty bad for my social life and hobbies). Sigh. (Pressing my hand wistfully against the glass) maybe someday they'll offer the class again

The way NO ONE ELSE tried to calm down or even dare put hands on Ja’Marr but Joe tells you all you need to know about the is devoted and soul tied ass relationship God I wish we knew what was said and the post game convo. Like poor baby couldn’t even come up with a coherent sentence about Ja’Marr in the presser 😭

yeah i think it's definitely because they were so taken aback by ja'marr exploding like that 😭 he's probably already pissed since before the play itself and snapping at everyone tbh and then him getting all up in the refs face had them freezing and then joe (joe cool joe ice joe ja'marr knower and bestie etc) being the one to react first literally dragging him away by his jersey (hot! and also crazy) and probably yelling at him too had them freaking out (??) because they've never seen the two actually fight like that?? idk they were definitely heavily taken aback. joe probably didn't even have enough time to fully digest what he did and what ja'marr did and simultaneously deal with the game loss (with the entire way they lost it too sigh the fucking dpi) before he had to shove his ass to the podium and answer all the questions especially about ja'marr. and it's soooo important to me how he neverrrrrr caters to anyone saying shit or baiting him to say shit about ja'marr. that's his man etc etc.

1) Opens up drafts with my head empty, ready to be flooded, not knowing where I'll go. 2) 30 seconds later: Okay but I will go feral any day of my life over Perilous Trail, and the fierce dichotomy of Xiao and Yelan. While they're far from being 'the same', they both view themselves as soldiers in one way or another (it's a very difficult word to use for Yelan, so I'm using it very liberally and very loosely), they have both suffered losses on the 'battlefield' and carry the burden thereof in their own ways. And yet they stand so firmly in opposition throughout the entirety of that questline up until the very end of the 'the end of the line' conclusion of the quest. Yes, I know that she offers him her gratitude in its aftermath and it is genuine, but she still never agrees with him and the decision that he made moments earlier. It simply 'worked out' because of Zhongli's interference, he's the only reason it worked out. And it's because of that, that she doesn't give him a hell of a hard time (obviously she can't go down there, but imagine the inner frustration of severe extents; when you condemn someone who you can't even see anymore). In the same way that she would do to anyone who would sacrifice themselves for others, but in this case, I think it's 'beautiful' that it's to Xiao; the one who seems most adamant to do so (which honestly, fits into the contract that the Yakshas chose to sign with Morax; 'the ultimate sacrifice' to protect for Liyue; 'for Liyue', and Liyue has always centered itself around its people), the one who everyone reveres (and so does she, as she notes in her voiceline, 'if I ever have the honor to fight alongside') and respects for good reason, she stands against him, because in that moment, regardless of his status, he makes a call that she considers wrong. And he doesn't even... fight her on it very fiercely, and that's what actually hurts me the most, it's as if the following line hit the nail directly on the head?

"Besides, if you were really so determined to end it all, you wouldn't have given us the opportunity to share our opinions."
