Lost Tomb eps 11-12

[frith_in_thorns]

Thank you, first half of ep 11, for giving me almost everything I want re hurt/comfort that I usually only get in fic.


- Pangzi pulling Wu Xie up and Wu Xie beginning to fold and Pangzi and Kylin supporting him together! And then he continues hanging onto Pangzi after that!

- Big fight! I enjoyed it!

- Very convenient rescue in the nick of time! And Wu Xie being heroic and self-sacrificing and saving Liu Sang (why are they calling him Jinx now??) and everyone being Very Stressed (I loved xparrot's description of him being super hard to keep alive, like an orchid or something)

- EXPLOSION! And Wu Xie half-conscious like that, and then he DID get tucked up in bed, which I something I very much needed for him after everything he's gone through lately. Loved literally everyone standing around waiting for him to wake up. And then he wanted to talk about preserving the artifacts, omg you dork.

- Can't wait for the Scientific Explanation of the princess. More crabs? Surely even this show can't try and pin everything on the hand crabs.

- Some stuff happened in the village. Ok.

- Loved everyone getting to hang out and relax in the bar! That was such a sweet scene, it felt super real, almost like a BTS but for the characters.

- The veeeeery looooong flashback turned out to be even less fun to watch than the village plotline. We finally get some more women? They make bad decisions because of being in a boring love triangle with Sanxing? We really needed THIS MUCH of it?? At least they cut back every now and then to kind-of-drunk Wu Xie.

- Then I went back and watched the first half of ep 11 again.

This is 100% my reaction too down to "oh I see why they said the script writer wasn't good at women". Truly, when you've worked the better part of a year to make the greatest archeological find of the century what REALLY matters is which of you your colleague fancies. >_>

ANYWAY. XIAO XIE!! In ep 11 where everyone is calling his name because he goes FLOP his uncle called him Xiao Xie and I think that's very cute. <3<3<3

And of course I immediately had to go gif the holding scene. Ahhhhh~~~ <3

Honestly the opening of ep 11 is worth the price of boring and sexist flashbacks for me, just, so good?! The staggering and Wu Xie's heroism and also blowing himself up and the shouting of names and the holding!!

I think calling hearing guy "Jinx" is a sign they're warming to him, as they all use nicknames anyway (I seriously do not know what Pangzi's real name even is??) And he did get them grabbed by shellfish earlier (that was less jinxing and more being a dick, but...)

The hanging out at the bar was so sweet. And then again, if we have to get a flashback, at least we're occasionally rewarded by cutting back to Zhu Yilong looking gorgeous. They do still know their audience...(Wu Xie's alcohol tolerance is so much better than Shen Wei's! ...ZYL's is more like Shen Wei's from what he's said 😁)
