Found Family Battle (First Round)

[carlyleandco]

okay my fellow Cdrama fanatics, I’m in need of some recs as someone who is still fairly new to the scene…

Historical Cdramas I’ve enjoyed

Story of Minglan ~ this show is my Roman Empire…like I don’t go more than a couple of days without thinking about it. Love how much depth there was to the characters and their relationships. I got so much satisfaction from watching Minglan run circles around every one else using her intelligence and wits. Every time Gu Tingye popped up in the background as her backup support I lost it! Talk about power couple.

Love Like the Galaxy ~ first historical Cdrama I have watched and apart from Minglan, I think it has ruined the rest for me. This drama has so many layers. Niao Niao is an intelligent, and opportunistic female lead. She is unabashedly herself, and the story is not afraid to depict her as unlikeable at first instance. I deeply appreciated the focus on female relationships and family. And Ling Buyi has ruined all other antiheroes for me lmao

Destined ~ I thought this one would be on par with Minglan at first, but it did lose its way in the latter half. I felt the female lead was relegated to the background, which was frustrating as they built her up to be this shrewd businesswoman and then we never get to see her in action. I did appreciate how wholesome and untoxic Jiu Si was as a romantic lead. I thought her relationship with the SML could have been drawn out more, however.

Romance of Tiger and Rose ~ I don’t think this drama is anywhere on par with the above three, but I still enjoyed it. Definitely a fun and unserious romp. Zhou Lu Si is just so likeable in all her roles.

Xianxia I’ve enjoyed:

Love and Redemption ~ I literally fell down a hole with this drama. I could not stop watching. Even though the female leads starts with that token immaturity Cdramas are known for, it’s explained in-world and she goes through a noticeable growth/stepping into adulthood arc. I also LOVED how powerful she was and how often she got to use her powers. Also the romance? Sifeng?!!? Yeah I was a mess. However, one thing that irritated me was the lack of agency Xuan Ji had toward the end of the show.

Eternal Love ~ it’s a classic for a reason. I loved Bai Qian’s resolve, steadfastness, and maturity. Her relationship with Ye Hau blossomed naturally, and they had different obstacles to face as a couple as opposed to what I have seen so far.

Love Between Fairy and Devil ~ speaks for itself, and I love enemies to lovers.

Extra: points if the female lead is powerful, or is on a journey to realising her power. Whether that’s through her intelligence, empathy, or in the case of xianxia, actual mystical power. Bonus points if she’s a character like Xuan Ji who can go supernova and destroy everyone lol

Historical dramas I have not enjoyed:

The Sword and the Brocade ~ I didn’t even finish this one. My overall impression was, having already finished Minglan prior, eating cardboard after having been to a 5 star Michelin restaurant. Everything was so bland and dull, even down to the cinematography.

Princess Silver ~ I dragged myself to the finish line with this one. The plot just became so utterly ludicrous and relied on the audience being invested in the main leads without actually letting them spend screen time together. I also hated that we had glimpses of the female leads power but that she never got to fully realise this. Just overly contrived and trite.

Xianxia I did not enjoy

Ashes of Love ~ this was the first xianxia I ever watched some years back. Given I was new to the genre, I think I found some of the characteristic features a bit jarring and I stopped watching Cdramas as a result. If I watched it again I may be able to make it through. Ultimately, I just could not stomach how naive the main female character. I understand this is typical, but it was another level of nauseating that I have not found an equal to since.

Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) and Yu Jiaolong, aka Jen (Zhang Zhiyi), battle in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).

I saw this film opening weekend at a large theatre in Los Angeles that was packed (Keanu Reeves snuck into the audience that night). The crowd, which was more the typical art house/film festival audience than kung fu/wuxia fans, went absolutely nuts after this scene.

[telestoapologist]

drifter: i'll be seein' ya, little sister. sao and i got a biiig score of popcorn shrimp to fry up tonight by the river.

eido: that sounds delicious! would it be too much to ask if i could join you both?

drifter, grimacing slightly and rubbing the back of his neck with an awkward chuckle: sorry, 'fraid this is private a party for two this time around. tell ya what, though; i'll bring back some leftovers for ya. how's that sound?

eido, slightly disheartened, but understanding: i see... i understand. thank you for offering, i would like that very much.

drifter, patting her shoulder apologetically: next time you can come with, trust. hell, we'll even teach ya how to catch and cook 'em! how's that sound?

eido, brightening up: oh, that sounds fun! yes! thank you, i greatly appreciate the offer and will gladly partake!

later that evening, down at the river....

sao, with their pants hiked up to their knees as they help drifter catch prawns for eido: don't get me wrong, i'm not against this- and smoking on an empty stomach is a bad idea- but don't you think she's old enough to be able to handle this sort of talk?

drifter, wiping a bit of river muck across his forehead: eh, it's not her i'm worried about, it's big bad crawdaddy- he's been a little more protective than usual after that ordeal with eramis. eido may be able to handle herself just fine, but 'ol misraaks is like any other dad. he knows she's her own person, but she'll still always be his baby girl no matter what.

sao, smiling to themself and humming: fair enough, i imagine that's something they'll eventually work out for themselves with time juuust fine- though, i think you and i are going to have to change up our phrases just a little if she's gonna be tagging along. you know, for now.

drifter, clucking: you might be right about that. (grins) got any ideas?

sao: hm... (leans up with a freshly caught prawn, snapping its neck to kill it instantly and dropping it in their basket) what about "meeking a smee"? i haven't used it in awhile, but it's always been a personal favorite of mine.

drifter, raising a brow skeptically but not without amusement: "meeking a smee", eh? now that's an interesting one. i like it, though! it's got a little (wiggles fingers while swirling hands in the air) ~*~whimsy~*~ to it, heh.

sao, beaming proudly: thank you! i think so, too.

old Roblox oc core

We all know I’m a dragon adventures addict but Sonar Studios also had this one game back in 2018 that I loved when I was younger called Feline’s Destiny

this is my character I played alla time (yes I grinded for those wings back in the day)

her name is Lena because Luna was too basic for the ‘not like other girls’ little girl who didn’t realize bro was just a dude

other versions where I took away layers and also the sketch

just wanted to show that yes the runes are in fact glowing 💀

Liam O'Brien definitely has way too much influence on me.

[miss-ostrich-art]

It’s been a while since I drew handsome men lol.

I started reading again and the first book series I read was The Tiger’s Curse. There is something about reading 2010s YA novels that is both healing and infuriating. Like what do you mean you’re mad about TWO whole Indian tiger princes being in love with you??? Like girl make a schedule and just let them both fawn over you!

Anyway, it’s probably kinda niche but here are Princes Ren and Kishan for your enjoyment. If you haven’t read the series then just enjoy these handsome men anyway.

[trinityghoulish]

Belladonna-16! The Exo Camp's Medic, now lightless and mentoring Medkit-4, to take in her footsteps. She's a whopping 6'7"ft tall and can fold anyone as much as she can heal them. She used to be a Titan, but after realizing she didn't enjoy meat shielding or doing anything Guardian related, she changed and studied to be a Warlock, then a Medic. She dated Ursa-18, also known as Ursa Major, for some time, but now dates a friend's oc, Tiger :)

She's a little sheepish!

Enjoy!❤️‍🔥

[thewildnopeboat]

Zavala, with a Manila folder draped over his face: Ikora, why is the Guardian causing problems for Lord Shaxx?

Ikora, sighing and looking over: Imagine a tiger caught in a cage. If given enough enrichment, the tiger will be calm. Take away the enrichment, it causes issues for its own amusement.

Zavala, looks over at her in confusion after removing the folder from his face: Ikora, what in the light is a Tiger?

Ikora: I keep forgetting you're not human...
