Link click yapper here sorry but Im dying to know how many lasts/first did CXS forget/never got to experience again. Like I think that CXS did off himself in the flashback LG has when he got shot so I wonder what changed in that timeline for the ending to change (although the results were the same)

TW for discussions of CXS’s suicide

Oohhh so like what differences there was in this timeline from the last? The things CXS experienced the last time around that he won’t be able to experience in the current timeline for the sake of keeping him alive?

(I am in pain. Also note that plot theories are slightly out of my area of expertise - character and theme analysis - but I’ll try my best!)

Okay so this is partially inspired by @snowpoet123’s amazing fic - three time’s the charm - so I think that CXS doesn’t get to experience becoming close with Lu Guang in this timeline, and there MUST be some things he missed there. Not to say that Lu Guang and CXS aren’t as close in the current timeline because they are close in literally every timeline and every medium they are so queer for each other afjaskdfjasd. (I have a whole essay on the trust between them /exaggeration but not by much). So I imagine that CXS would miss a lot of those ‘firsts’ with Lu Guang like… idk what do normal freinds do… okay nevermind what would these two nuerodivergent sillies do… I imagine they would play a lot of basketball and just hang out before and after a lot before they did the whole ‘moving in together and being business partners thing’ (apologies for my pandering the headache is headaching today).

Like in the current timeline he ‘miraculously appeared in their lives’. So I imagine there would be lots of little misadventures - similar to the chibi shorts - before they trusted each other to such a degree. Paticularly in college and such… and I’ll have to see the yingdu arc to be sure but… hmm I imainge tihngs would be different there as well. And I don’t think it’s needs to be dramatic at all, like it would be wonderous if their first tiem around they are just.. there for each other.

I saw this one headcannon where CXS would speak for Lu Guang if Lu Guang didn’t know what to say (in social situations). And I think it would go both ways tbh. With Lu GUang doing things for CXS if CXS is upset (similar to post-ep 5)

… I feel like I’m not answering this right. mmm i’ll come back to this and add more thoughts… after I nap.

OKay what changed for the timeline to change -

If one goes with the ‘Lu Guang didn’t have powers in the first timeline and CXS passed them to Lu Guang when he died in Lu Guang’s arms (very queer of him)’ theory, then they wouldn’t have had their time travel business in the first timeline. Perhaps CXS went on his own through photos, and one can theorize whether he went back in time for the same purpose of getting information from the photos… because a part of me is like: ‘what if he tried to find his parents?’

But considering that CXS brought up the idea of the time travel business to Lu Guang, one can assume he came up with the idea first… and after sleeping my brain still isn’t working sooo I might come back to this.

But perhaps the time travel business originally was CXS diving into photos on his own, Qiao Ling getting clients, and CXS is still becoming friends with Lu Guang.

Without Lu Guang’s guidance, I do imagine CXS might mess around in time, and wouldn’t know the parameters of what can and can’t happen. ANd perhaps because he went back into time on his own, could not tell anyone and didn’t have much support for how emotionally draining the photos are…. perhaps then he dethatched from the world (See CXS post s1ep5) and did off himself because of that.

Lu Guang is horrified because at this point they’ve gotten very close, and he goes back in time to save him. Ta da ta da!

Thank you for the ask!

(My apologies if this is incoherent, I might write some more on this later!)

Watch the Sleuth of Ming dynasty yesterday. It’s not exactly like the book but I do enjoy watching it. At least the found family plot is still there and although the dynamics between Sui Zhou and Tang Fan has changed, it is still quite cute in its own way. Also I haven’t drawn anything from this before, now I have the show for reference so I draw them 😄

[cryingwiththemoon]

why is it that every single time i tell myself that things aren’t that bad, and maybe i’m not as depressed as i think i am, the next day i am just hit with a tsunami of horrible thoughts and emotions. It will always come back stronger and i am left being battered by the waves over and over again.

i am not a strong enough swimmer to save myself from drowning, yet that is what is expected of me from those who have never felt the water fill their lungs.

Ok, so I'm a danmei girlie right, not surprising considering my reblogs.

But with the realization of the fact that the fish novel (as i call it)(the diabled tyrants beloved pet fish) is coming out in 2 (two!!) days, I sometimes let myself read of my other lesser known danmei novels being licensed.

The Amount Of Money I Would Drop for 14th Year of ChengHua. IF WE GOT THOUSAND AUTUMNS AND PEERLESS, WE CAN GET 14TH YEAR OF CHENGHUA RIGHT???

It's just a such a funny novel yall. My favorite Meng Xi Shi novel 🥹🥹🥹

The dynamic between the Tang Fan (mc) and Sui Zhou (ml) is great. Sometimes you just move in with a guy you met during a case that made you lose your house and suddenly he cooks for you every day and manages your finances and embroiders his surname into handkerchiefs for you to use because your sick but still need to go to morning court- And then all the other characters are great too and sometimes when I think about Tang Fan's relationship with his sister and nephew I just (clench fist)(single tear rolls down my cheek).

Wang Zhi is still my favorite though. My beloved baby boi, would kill me in an instant if he thought it was necessary. Ambushed Tang Fan when he was going back to visit his sister and forced him to paint something for him so Tang Fan could be unfired (he got fired for a bit).

Meng Xi Shi somehow just wrote one guy's political career and then made me read 100k+ words about willingly and with great enthusiasm.

Many thanks to Chi Chi for translating it. And linking all the Wikipedia articles for historical context.
