is that a challenge???

The full-hearted way she made that promise 😭

Because when she's desperate and feels no one is on her side... she doesn't even want to explain because (I think) she doesn't trust others would agree with her about the absolute unfairness & vengenance she hungers for. But Li Xun is with her, he doesn't know why but once he can pick up the level of importance to her then he's right beside her on this... So I get why she's in the mood to make, like, a solemn blood oath.

because oh god, what also gets to me is how crushingly young and sheltered she is to be so full of rage at the unfairness of that scumbag continuing to win at life. It's wrong, it's not how things should be. It goes against everything her parents and school and her sheltered life so far has taught her.

And Li Xun is, knowingly or not, trying to protect that fragile heart of his princess by galloping to the rescue to give her The Proper Ending, where the hero saves the day. So ofc she's ready to pledge her fealty to him.

Except we already know the future, so we know they don't ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after. At some point, things go devastatingly wrong. IT'S A LOT OK

How is every episode of this show better than the last? (We all know it's not about the money, young man, since she said she will have to pay you over the span of 4 years...)

This is huge and the insane thing is she means it and the way he just stills when he hears it but the thing is it's also NOT as huge as it appears because by now she knows him and knows he will not abuse this.

OMG, I love him so much ahahahaha so much!

This is amazing because now it's utterly plain (though before it was the thinnest cover) that he's working for nothing as he gave back the pay card - he's literally pulling insane all nighters and working to the bone for his lady's favor. AWWWW.

It kills me how ride or die they are, even if it is expressed different due to their different personalities and backgrounds. But also, the way their support for each other just keeps ratcheting up the more they are together because the more they find there to support.

The ending of the ep is the sweetest...

If this drama does not fall apart in the second half, it's going on my all-time favorite list for sure.

Firstly, I dedicate this cheese moment to the song LP- One Last Moment . Be sad with me.

Secondly, ha, this moment probably doesn't hold as much impact nowadays but I drew this when patch 0 only had TWO OPTIONS and NOTHING ELSE. You could say it's my loving 'like fuck we won't ever see each other again my sun, moon, stars, and all of the above' response to Lae'zel's Goodbye. Had to give myself hope gosh darn it. But it's lovely to know that Greygold wasn't wrong. So I share cheesy moment anyway.

Third. YEAH I SAID GO. BABE'S GOTTA KILL VLAAKITH. You think Greygold is gonna be selfish and ask her to stay now??? After all that? PUH. Greygold knows responsibility sucks, but set a killer hawk free and all that. (of course I checked what's up with the other choice after the game and 'oofed' but still. PRINCIPLES. Gave myself delusional hope anyway pssh.)

Y'know what? Bold and excellent choice for the only route you get a kissing option in to be the one where you've both broken each other's trust and choose to repair it together. It's a powerful thing to do in that route specifically and not in the Damsel route because you actually went through a journey to earn it instead of just getting the option because you free her right away. It's beautiful and lovely and also it's always fun to make The Narrator describe you being sweet to each other. Hilarious how his delivery sounds slightly less spiteful as the other voices push him to carry on. "I'm aware of my skills" is <333

she is UNSTOPPABLE. a relentless, self-healing guided missile with target locked. just give up the ghost young man. recall all that talk about cutting your losses?

I'm having so much fun watching Li Xun trying to drive Zhu Yun away by being mean to her while he's simultaneously amused, annoyed, and admiring of her professional competence and her efforts to corral him into behaving. Emotionally, he's being pulled in six different directions. Meanwhile, she's like a javelin.

Lighter and Princess ep 25 thoughts

I'm really starting to dig the narrative choices here. The way that she has stepped into the forefront and getting to show her skills. It's honestly a FASCINATING reversal from the first set of episodes in the University arc.

When they first entered the stage at uni, he was the one with an impeccable "resume" - that top scorer who professors and students admired. He was the one that people made admiring off-hand comments about, he took over as group leader. She had the opportunity to win a bid and make an app with him only because he was willing to include her.

Now he has been out of the industry for 3 years and is socially undesirable, near unhireable. She has impressive credentials and has the lil team in awe of her prowess.

He's still a genius and I'm sure he'll return to prominence. But it's an interesting temporary role inversion.

Not that professionally I think they need to be equals. She's not Gao, she'll never be. She loves his keen mind and knows that some people are just especially gifted and there's no need to best them. You don't see a breathtaking sculpture & feel the need to tear down the artist and prove you could craft better. You just appreciate its beauty.

lol it just clicked for me that LX has been adopted by 2 rich kids who had every opportunity to be "normal" and suceed in all the status quo ways but who don't get fulfillment in following the well-trodden road. And he simply accepts them for who they are, accepts that they want what they want.

ALSO both Dancing Boy and Princess inadvertently contributed to ruining his life - not cruelly, not on purpose, but if he never met them and took action at their prodding then he might be standing in a very different place now. And yet he so clearly doesn't resent either of them and instead allows himself to be warmed by their familiarity & care (while, of course, retaining his prickly hedgehogs exterior).

1. I love how close LX’s head is to the door jamb. Good luck!

2. I will always love the narrative choice that the rich kid he hacked into the grade system for so as to get paid for changing his scores is not a rich bastard but a sweet if academically challenged kid who has actually remained a lifelong friend. It would be such an easy cliche choice to make him a jerk but he isn’t.

linkin park really dropped my new favorite song, made a cinematic version and put it in one of my favorite shows to be used for one of my favorite characters. unprecedented win for me personally
