Hey fellow nerds, do we think that the windmill in the background here during *this* specific scene/conversation is an accident, or do we think it's an intentional nod to Don Quixote and his Impossible Dream?

Ruan Lanzhu (Ruan Nanzhu) and Chen Fei in The Spirealm, overlaid with this Tumblr text post conversation: - I got blood inside my phone charging port and now it only works 50% of the time - get yellow bile in there next to balance the humors of the phone - you. I like the way you think. put on this little outfit I want to make you my royal advisor. - can I tell from the little outfit if I am going to be the royal advisor (jocular) or the royal advisor (sinister)? - it depends on the size of the boob window. we'll get there when we get there.

I still honestly have no freaking idea what's going on between these two but the History™ is palpable and I have a deep, visceral need to PUT IT IN MY MOUTH AND CHEW ON IT until I understand.

A screen shot from Discord: "Watching Spirealm EP12 for fic research reasons and I NEVER FUCKING REALIZED that in this moment LDY puts a giant pause in the middle of his sentence in the most hiLARIOUS fucking way. Rujiao asks him right around 33:00 "Why are you being so nice to him, he's a dude?" (When LDY offers to air out his bedding) And he replies... "这我女朋友... " and then he trails off and the camera gives us a split second of this abjectly SHOCKED PAIR OF CLOWN FACES: [screen shot of Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi looking startled] and then LDY says, "...的哥哥." My Chinese is poor so it definitely took me til now (this is probably the fourth time I've watched this scene) to notice but it just made me lose my mind laughing and I wanted to share the moment of delight. I'd never processed that beat of silence before. and the subtitles do not do it justice. LOOK AT THEIR FACES"

Every time I re-watch an episode of #TheSpirealm I notice something new and delightful. The Zuozi Door's disaster polycule might be my very fav scooby gang, tbh.
