selenayGosh, I'd forgotten how much fun it is to get fannish about things :D
I now have 2300 words of post-episode 33 fic with probably another 1000 words to write.![[twitter.com profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
hockeybosh, you know what you've done and I'm still blaming you.
I haven't written this much in ages. It's nice to have an idea flowing like this. It's probably terrible, but I'm having fun so *pokes tongue out*
We watched episode 34 last night. I've worked out that possibly my fic violates the canon timeline, but the timeline is a bit...uncertain at times, so I'm totally just adding an extra day in there before certain things happen because I want to and nobody can stop me.
hockeybosh and I were definitely squeeing throughout the episode. SO MUCH SQUEE.
The scene with Guo and Chu at the beginning was just beautiful. Perfect. Disturbingly soft and lovely, considering Chu is an angry puppet master with a history of violence.
AND THEN. There was Ye Zun. Who is easily differentiated from Shen Wei, not just by costume (Shen Wei would never wear that, how did you not spot that immediately Zhao Yunlan?) but by the way he moves and his entire set of facial expressions. Gosh, Zhu Yilong is good. He effectively played three different characters in this episode! Two of them are actually the same character but...time travel!
Oh gosh, time travel. Finally I understand how Shen Wei recognised Zhao Yunlan back at the start and what all the hints were and oh dear, this makes their ship so much more complicated than I expected.
Baby Shen Wei is adorable. ADORABLE. I reject hockeybosh's "it could be Ye Zun before he goes evil!" theory because that would be too cruel and awful.
And like, this show makes the main ship so easy. There's a moment where young Shen Wei offers Zhao Yunlan anything he wants (for saving his life) and just...the look. There is eyeing up. It's amazing. And later there's a beautiful moment where Zhao Yunlan tells young Shen Wei that he's already repaid the life debt many times over and it's so good for so many reasons.
There's also the moment where Zhao Yunlan shoves a lollipop in young Shen Wei's mouth to stop him talking which, fair point, and also OMG.
So. Much. Amazing.
And that little bit where Shen Wei talks about wearing his mask so his enemies won't see he's afraid was beautiful and sad, and I just wanted Zhao Yunlan to hug him.
Did you know I love this show?
hockeybosh and I appear to be competing for how sad we can make each other. She had the Ye Zun theory. I noted that at some stage, Zhao Yunlan has to travel back to the present which means Shen Wei basically has to wait to see him again for TEN THOUSAND YEARS and I'm not sure which one of us is the worst in this competition.
I hope there's a lot of good fic about the time travel stuff. I'm sure there is.
I just have a lot of feelings, okay?
