Happy birthday, Guardian

Guardian/adjacent:
Guardian started filming three years ago on April 15.
undeadrobins brilliant thread of Yes Homo moments.
Fanart: Turn around (bright eyes!). Smoking in bed. Not entirely sure what's going on here but I love whatever it is.

Untamed/adjacent:
Terrific analysis of the cliff scene cinematography.

My friend from China that I got to see before the Stay At Home orders went up is still here in Lawrence and is not doing well. She was supposed to return home early March and is hoping that might actually happen in May. She's teaching her classes online but she's here and her students are in China so her health is suffering from having to work at odd hours. I fret and want to fold over her like a mother hen. I hate that she's, like, a mile away and we can't see each other.

Mood is not great today. I wanna go into seclusion (new phrase for holing up in my bedroom!) but I have so much to do. We're almost out of prepped food, I haven't done anything for  tomorrow's dump, and I'm super behind on this one project I can't really talk about here. I'm telling myself if I get a sufficient amount of stuff done today I can go into seclusion tomorrow and maybe again on Saturday as well.

Halfway through April what the fuck.

Happy Guardianniversary! And *hugs* with everything, I'm sorry things are rough (everything's bad enough, why do brains gotta go make things worse? It's so unfair!)

And thank you as always for the continuing Twitter links, I love getting them on my flist! That fanart with the multiple Shen Weis is insane and I love it.

Until about five years ago, my brain was fine. FINE. Then too much shit piled on slow and steady and now I wonder if I'll ever not dance a line between listless depression and manic anxiety. THANK DOGS FOR FANDOM AND TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS.

I hate that she's, like, a mile away and we can't see each other.

That really is an extra blow. :(

*hugs* I hope the day improved as it went on.

She hopes to return next year. She got her MA and PhD here and still comes back for research trips. So... there's that. It's especially upsetting because my emails to her don't always go through and once we went eight months with no contact. This time at least I remembered to get her postal address.

And thank you, feeling better today!

I hope you were able to get some things done, at least enough to help take the edge off.

About half of what I wanted, so not too bad!

WOOO!! That's awesome!

OOooh. I had to think about which scene while reading through that whole thread (beautiful!). In the end, it's very obvious. My favorite scene in the whole drama is in ep 20 when Zhao Yunlan is blind and asks for Shen Wei, and Shen Wei takes his hand and says "I'm here." Nothing will ever top that.

I'm so in love with their love.
