OP: Check out. The fully-sexual charged cinematic movement design.

Cnetizens: How did the director come up with the idea to have him kneel on a playing card, adding so much aesthetic energy, is that some kind of genius?

#china #cdramas #dramas #lmao #They are siblings and they're discussing serious matters #this scene is actually rather heavy because the younger brother is involved in drug trafficking #carrying more than 50 grams of heroin will result in a death sentence in china let alone being involved in drug trafficking #the older brother is a gangster king #but even he doesn't dare to get involved in the drug business because it will bring about the demise of his family #sorry for digression I mean how did the director make this scene which has absolutely nothing to do with sex #so sexually charged?#btw there're many posts with rich information about China's crackdown on drug crimes on xhs and douyin #especially about how the four major drug-trafficking families in Myanmar were wiped out overnight #they buried undercover Chinese counter-narcotics police alive and kidnapped and brutally excuted civilians #so if you're interested you can go with the key words 缅甸四大家族覆灭 on xhs and douyin #cnetizens' views on drugs are related to modern Chinese history #the first chapter of modern history in high school textbooks is the opium wars #There's a very dark joke on xhs about which country in the world would least like China to withdraw from the P5 #and the answer is the UK #because it's in the first chapter of China's modern history #the Destruction of opium at Humen in 1839 #no offence but Breaking Bad can't last for more than one episode if it happens in china because of the sewer detection technology #they can detect the tiniest amount of drugs in feces in a body of water the size of a lake for up to six months #which can be quickly locked down to neighbourhoods and portals #Once a foreigner was caught smuggling and selling 222.035 kg drugs in China and sentenced to death with two other Chinese associates #his country's prime minister asked for his extradition #cnetizens commented that there was an opium war and he still dare to come to China to sell drugs be like 找死court death #All the above information is to explain the gangster king's attitude towards his brother's drug business

what's weird about the fantasy high drama is that like. it seems to me like people forget d&d is primarily a) a game you play with your friends and also b) luck based.

I mean it's fine to say that "nothing felt like a challenge" and "they just dominated everything and there weren't any stakes" but like. it's not as if they weren't up against huge threats. they lost the mall fight. the last stand was an onslaught of enemies. they fought a dozen dragons from an airship. the fights were hard. they're just really good. they've had very good dice luck in general this season and are all very high level and highly specialized. fig is gonna beat deception and performance checks. adaine's gonna figure out the arcana. riz is gonna succeed investigations. like. for some reason their strategical competence and wisely picked abilities are. a downside? a disappointment?

the thing about d&d that you need to remember is it's first and foremost a game. it's mostly random and it takes you down weird paths and you're playing to have fun with your friends. the dice are literally telling the story that it's their time, it's their year. they've struggled enough. they've trained enough. they're good at what they do. and in my post about the academic/domestic/personal stressors being the focus, d&d doesn't have any other system to work them out than rolling different skills. that's what d&d is. brennan set specific challenge levels for different tasks and the players strategized to prioritize which abilities they were strongest in. the challenges were there. and the players rose to them. they were both smart in their delegation of responsibilities and lucky with their dice rolls. of which, both are foundations of d&d.

don't mistake them being good players and getting lucky with there being no hardship. just because they smashed through the wall, that doesn't mean the wall wasn't strong. they were just stronger.
