hElP I have fallen into Guardian and I cannot get out

(I do not in the least want to get out)

This is entirely the fault of raven and twistedsoup who gave me the episodes and the rtmi elevator pitch and the good fansubs, and naye who is flailing on twitter with me about it and has ALL THE GIFS.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY NEW BOYFRIEND SHEN WEI

HE HAS A PERFECT FACE



(btw I'm watched episode 18 22, talk about up to then welcome in comments)

It is SUCH a good fandom! Especially if you like h/c at all because the show has ALL the h/c in the world <3

[frith_in_thorns]

That is a good coincidence, because DID YOU KNOW I like hurt/comfort a lot???

[philomytha]

There's so so much! I've never seen a canon like it for constantly having its protagonists caretaking for each other while dramatically pining. So many tropes that I've only really seen indulged in fanfic are all in the show at full blast.

How far through are you? I don't want to say anything too spoilery...

[frith_in_thorns]

Finished episode 17. I watched loads of episodes the first three evenings this week, sadly won't have so much time for the rest of the week/weekend.

There has already been such good hurt and caretaking, I am delighted :D

[philomytha]

I think I completely lost my heart to the show at the mugging sequence. Or possibly when Shen Wei deliberately pricks his finger and Zhao Yunlan is all 'I must take you to hospital! you could get TETANUS!' for a cut I probably wouldn't even bother to put a plaster on...

[frith_in_thorns]

I am currently sitting in a meeting that I had to leave after EPISODE 20 for, I can't cope with this.

[philomytha]

OH NO
I hope it’s a short meeting!

It will be worth the wait, though...

[frith_in_thorns]

It was absolutely worth it.

[frith_in_thorns]

Coming up on 2 hours and no end in sight :(

[frith_in_thorns]

The moment I lost my heart was with the books. The whole thing with the books. My actual god.

[philomytha]

That was such a ridiculous, amazing moment. Zhao Yunlan wants to give him a present! How cute! Shen Wei's pupils are flogging his old books for spare cash... it's such a trainwreck of a scene and it's adorable <3

[frith_in_thorns]

I especially love how Shen Wei just WALKED OFF. I mean, there was clearly nothing to say at that point. Wow.

[naye]

WELCOME we have ALL THE FEELS and perfect boyfriends and a good pile of fic and a general comm (sid_guardian) and a creators comm (brush_and_lantern) and it probably is best to be careful around those as the closed canon means spoilers aren't generally warned for? But we've got you covered when you're ready!!

[frith_in_thorns]

Yeah, I'm avoiding all the comms for now. Happily taking fic recs that won't give me future spoilers though! ;)

This show is indeed ALL THE FEELS. So many feels. SO MANY.

[schneefink]

This show was made for h/c fans xD

[frith_in_thorns]

Yesssssssss.

(I have just watched the episode your icon is from.)

[schneefink]

I don't even remember which one that was ^^
I do remember which episode your icon is from, one of my favorites. So good.

[frith_in_thorns]

It's the same episode or the one immediately before, Shen Wei yanking around a blind Zhao Yunlan :D
