WHO DID THIS 😂😂😂‼️

[xiaovein]

uhhmmmm what was the flowore again . 🌺 nnnot this one vut the ask game flower

LMAOOOO ok sorry for laughing its the sunflower emoji :heart: The shiguang 1.2k word fic in my documents is staring at me as i open up a new doc to write this im actually quite scared to accidentally delete a draft and lose whatever insane madness i was writing

i am going t o talk about xia fei who was surprised who cheered di d you know i think shes transfem

give me a moment im going to yap

for the uneducated, i will summarise link click withthis tweet i stole. sorry im lazy

the arc im going to talk about is bridon arc . you can just call it yingdu its okay. yingdu is the prequel to season 1 and 2, where cheng xiaoshi is trying to find his missing father from a clue he left behind. anyway cheng xiaoshi and lu guang fly to some europe place called bridon (i genuinely dont know if this place is real i do NOT take geography i am a science student i love science)

in case you forgot which one is which the white hair guy is lu guang the black hair guy is cheng xiaoshi. i will call them lg and cxs for ease of convenience

anyways. im gonna just say it. xia fei is supposed to spy on cxs and lg. shes getting paid by a ugly purple hoe called liu xiao. id like to mention that she is a university student who is not in a great financial situation btw. she took up modelling as a side gig but it treats her like shit because she nearly got drowned ON PURPOSE during a photoshoot. her boss vein is probably a cannibal too. can someone save her from the horrors. and she got accused of sleeping with her boss im gonna kill people im srs

anyway xia fei befriends lg and cxs (xia fei gets drunk and yaps about her horrible job and then they run away from a drunken mob together) xia fei offers to help them get a lead on what their looking for while spying on them and reporting back to liu xiao

a couple of days after spying on them cxs tries to get a lead on his dad through xf’s boss vein. and since they don’t have enough money to pay vein they just have to do a photoshoot with xf because they fired the guy she was supposed to do it with. anyways the guy who was fired comes around, insinuates xf has been “using her connections” or whatever to get ahead and lg absolutely CLOCKS that guy and defends her. id add a video but i can only add 1 vid per post so sighhh

lu guang also says he was “just stating facts for a friend” and xia fei looks shocked. shocked that the guys she’s supposed to spy on seems to consider her a friend. the photoshoot happens and they have fun which is great.. i’d like to point out xia fei’s smile, actually. it’s sincere and genuine, as compared to the smiles she’s put on for photoshoots and whatnot. it’s small and it’s beautiful and is REAL. and she turns away with an expression that i cannot accurately read but she’s clearly upset. upset that she has to betray these two. this is clearly where she wants to be — with friends who appreciate her beyond her fame , the first friends (i assume in a long time) who aren’t using or abusing her, and she has to betray them?? oh my gourd . 

i cant find very good pre-existing clips i just screen recorded it

note the difference between xia fei's smile in that clip vs the one she had for photoshoots n shit

i don’t know if it’s too clear in what in’m writing but i feel like xia fei is being used a lot throughout yingdu. most notably i think she’s being used as a pawn by liu xiao, who pays her to do her job and spy on them. im not quite sure though? honestly i think i could be wrong . i’m also 90% sure she’s being exploited in her modeling career.so obviously this would be fairly significant. a breath of fresh air if you will. 

that evening she goes to liu xiao and says she’s going to quit spying on them. when cxs and lg go back to china, xia fei is reported to have been missing.

i think about it a lot actually. i figure she had a feeling she knew liu xiao was going to pull something if she pulled out, but she just couldn’t stand betraying her friends anymore.

not much is revealed about xia fei yet, but i get the sense she’s lonely, shes tired, and she desperately longs for a genuine human connection, genuine friendship. i miss her so bad id hug her if i could. my princess who deserves better. 

(And when i say not much is revealed about her yet i seriously mean it. We only vaguely have a sense of what her work is like, and we dont know about her family situation much – theyre only mentioned in a phone call to her parents. Theyre edging me. Theyre edging me. It sucks.) 

link click honestly isn’t shy about covering heavy topics. there’s stuff like possessing your mom to kill your dad who also ends up killing your mom. so honestly i would not be surprised anymore if xia fei turns out to have some heavy messed up backstory. 

sorry for getting a bit emo halfway she makes me sad a little bit 🥹i like her lots

shes so gorgeous i am her number one fan ignore the shitty quality

also the character previews for bridon arc are Fun i really like liu xiaos and veins one i dont know why maybe its because they’re freaks. i dont know what im saying anymore. did you know the op and ed for yingdu are so good in terms of animation & music.

peak i tell you PEAK PEAK PEAK. peakest shit ever,. i love my link click live. im srs., i love xia fei i love yingdu even if it makes the timeline super confusing. i love my xia fei life

sorry for making you sit through a rant about a media that doesn’t have a single fat man 🤷 nothing is perfect okay i’m sorry if this sucks i am not super good at analysis this was probably extremely surface level . i reserve my analytical power for analysing the semiotics of the packaging of a tissue packet
