IS THIS BECAUSE I'M SCARED OF VAMPIRES? THAT'S NOT MY FAULT, BEE. I STILL LOVE *YOUR* VAMPIRES

DO I NOT COUNT AS SOMEONE WHO CELEBRATES?!

UM AM I INVISIBLE TO YOU????

I KNOW THAT’S RIGHT

A handsome grey cat has one paw on his owner’s thigh. He is wearing a bow tie and an intent expression

The cat would like to politely draw your attention to the fact that you are eating shrimp and he is not. You have 10 seconds to rectify this before he lunges for your chopsticks

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

no wonder she went to war for that face!

The next two eps are HEAVY so I’m glad you weren’t watching at 3AM!

The thesis of “sometimes the best path to take is the one that minimizes harm, and then you just have to atone afterwards for the rest of your life” is NOT something I’d expected from a show that sells little pig keychains as its merch

pursuit of jade: I’m a cute country life romcom between a girl who can’t read and a guy who thinks a banana costs $10 🥰

also pursuit of jade: let’s put the kindest person into situations where she’s forced to choose between being kind but causing harm, or being cruel and reducing the overall harm.

YESSSS ONE OF US ONE OF US

Took him a few tries but he finally got it right! (I suspect his shifu had some stern words for him too)

@limgrave.bsky.social @aeryies.bsky.social WAKE UP GIRLS 27 JUST DROPPED AND IT’S INSANE

The worst part of watching pursuit of jade is that I’m the only one awake at 6:30AM to watch it, and then I have to wait hours for my meimeis to wake up so I can scream about the episode with them

I do not see.

Jinshi? Like the guy from Apothecary Diaries?!

Also love how their entire relationship is:

Fan Changyu: I’m but a humble butcher girl, surely my husband is just a simple soldier and not anyone important 🥰
Literally everyone who knows that her husband is actually SUPER IMPORTANT: you want HIM? That asshole? GIRL YOU CAN DO BETTER YOU’RE SO CUTE

There’s a lot to like about Pursuit of Jade (Zhuyu) but the way the director understands the eroticism of tender wound trending really puts it over the top. The one in 24 is literally filmed like a sex scene and I’m 💯 here for it!

I feel like once his shifu finds out he's going to disown xie zheng as a disciple. He can't let historians know he was responsible for that dumbass!

SO TRUE!!

I just think it’s so funny that he literally went to war to not talk about his feelings

in all seriousness though, the narrative clowns fan changyu for having one (1) problem solving strategy, but literally every time she's tied up someone and beaten them, she's solved the problem in question!

cute second date ideas: we stuff my toxic into a sack and beat him until he cries y/y?

Both shows do one thing very well and it’s to show that chemistry is based on mutual shenanigans. Like sure you fall into each other’s arms in a flurry of petals BUT can you scheme together?

I can’t believe it’s only March and cdrama has already gifted us with two absolute bangers (How Dare You and Pursuit of Jade). Obviously the second one isn’t done yet so it can still fall off a narrative cliff, but I’m hopeful!

NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES!

hao jiu bu jian? but what's the extra a for?

I STILL don't know what it's supposed to be

Thank you.

WHY.
