30 Days of Guardian Day 2: Favourite Hallows arc

I spent a lot of time before writing this post trying to decide which Hallows arc makes the most *sense*. Probably it's the Dial, because it's short and the Dial does one specified thing which is related to what it's explained power actually is. (Obviously later it also features as a defensive weapon, for reasons never discussed, but not DURING its arc.)

The Hallows arc I found the most *fun* was probably the Awl, because mountain field trip! In my head I definitely have an extremely edited version of Guardian in which the Hanga flashbacks are much shorter and maybe it's explained why the Hallows can turn someone into a creepy chained pillar in their weirdest yet repeatable party trick. (Show, why are you like this.) Anyway! I liked Zhu Jiu lurking in caves and the battle couple fighting and obviously I enjoyed Shen Wei with his terrible self-sacrificing plans to save Zhao Yunlan from himself re alcohol and I liked Zhu Hong and Wang Zheng being good friends.

Also I really liked Lao-Chu demonstrating he can do serious damage with his threads (ripping the rocks open) and also while the cgi of what I persist in calling the youtubes were awful, I did like there being monsters to fight! (Why are there not more fics featuring random monster attacks??)
