Guardian/adjacent
For someone with an oral fixation (me, that would be me) this show is a blessing and a curse.
"Shen. Wei." before and after. And some more after. 😭
Duality of man.

Got home from Costco yesterday and within an hour two, two!, lightbulbs went out so I'm headed back to MENARDS again this morning. They open at 6:30a, but I'm procrastinating with tea and internet. I know it's better to go earlier because fewer people = less risk but my brain is still morning fuzzy and I don't trust myself to drive yet.

I used to be one of those morning people who jumped out of bed ready! to start! the day! I'd be out of the house and headed to the gym by 5:30, even in the dead of winter. I miss being that person.

The second episode of Sleuth happened last night and oh my god Tang Fan "observing" Sui Zhou's "firm hips and thighs" ????? 😂 goss I wished so hard we were watching together in person so we could've rolled around on the floor about that together instead of me doing it alone in the middle of my living room. Also the scene where Sui Zhou backs him up against the wall in the alley and says he's too delicate, that the Iron Market people would take him apart. Ready for Wang Zhi to start exhibiting personality traits beyond smug asshole with loyalty kink.

What's a reasonable time to wait before I call back the moving company about my broken bed piece?

Hey, we should do the streaming discord thing, like Guardian. :D

I am doing Divali stuff all day today (and going down to Building Steve now), but will be free tomorrow to play around with organising something like that, if you wanna.

Y'all are welcome to use the Watch Guardian! Discord to stream whatever you like, if you can make it work. :) The only reserved times would be the normal block on Fridays, otherwise it's up for grabs.

Potentially easier: I understand Viki now has some sort of "party" function to let people watch together in groups. It is limited in which videos are included and I don't know if it requires a paid account, but if you can get it to work, the quality will likely be better than Discord.

[goss]

Cool, thanks. :) I will check out the Viki thing too...

[clevermanka]

Ooooooh yeah, that's a good point. I don't have a paid Viki account so maybe the timing won't work out. Dang!

[clevermanka]

The idea makes me a little nervous because YOU SAW HOW TERRIBLE I AM at this sort of thing 😆 but I'm absolutely up for giving it a try. I think you're only a couple hours ahead of me, too, right?
eta: Oh well, never mind glymr just reminded me that bc I have to sit through the ads our timing would be all messed up.

The fact that Tang Fan checks Sui Zhou out so thoroughly the very first time they meet is *chef's kiss*. It's a good beginning for them. Also, that kabedon was nice. I went into this not even knowing it was based off of a BL novel, but naye and I looked at each other after watching the first handful of episodes and went, "This is a danmei, right? Surely they must recognize that they're being really hella gay."

Wang Zhi has such an amazing character arc in this story. You're going to love him too. I can't wait for you to watch more. I am sad that Viki Watch Party does not appear to be available in Sweden, so I can't host or join in, but if you guys do something on Discord, loop me in.

I'm skuldchan#1252 there.

Kabedon! Thank you, I couldn't remember the name. It's Very Much My Thing. Good to know about Wang Zhi! I have a soft spot for sympathetic assholes so it's good to know he gets more interesting.

Watching together on Discord is sounding more and more appealing, if goss is up for such a thing. I'm clevermanka there, too.

[doctorskuld]

I think that Wang Zhi is really gonna hit your soft spot then, in addition to all the lovely SuiTang (aka. FanZhou) shenanigans! 😉

The Discord username style is name#0000, so I need the four numbers after the hash to be able to find you.😅

[clevermanka]

Oh sorry sorry, it's clevermanka#2378

THE CHECKING OUT. It's so BLATANT. It's beautiful. I love them.

[clevermanka]

I'm already loving them, too! ❤

[doctorskuld]

And they keep checking each other out. It's not...like it's just the first time. It happens with decent frequency.

[goss]

Also the scene where Sui Zhou backs him up against the wall in the alley and says he's too delicate, that the Iron Market people would take him apart.

YESSSSSSSSSS.

Also, Tang Fan is so cutely rumpled in his undercover get up. <3

[clevermanka]

He's so adorable it actually hurts a little bit.
