Love and Redemption Rewatch: ep. 1
I genuinely love and adore this show but with how little content there is for L&R, I had to made some for myself.
Beware of SPOILERS for the whole story! Seriously...
I'm so excited!!! The opening song is still so good and still so full of spoilers. Like really, Si Feng with the wings??? The creators were not afraid... it was a choice.
Tumblr media
Who do we have here? Yep, they have shown our bird and our monkey right off the bat.
The whole opening monologue is such a great misdirection! They even say it - one comes after the other! But the viewer expects two players, so this very suspicious setup is completely disregarded.
Tumblr media
Wow, they really show everyone, don't they? :)
The concept of soul AND primordial spirit was very hard for me to grasp the first time, but rewatch makes it quite clear.
Tumblr media
I swear I have seen this guy somewhere...
Tumblr media
Yep, it's this guy from The Journey of Chong Zi.
Tumblr media
This is ANOTHER great misdirect because we know that God of War and Star of Mosha are going to be reincarnated at the same time and OF COURSE Si Feng is here... so who could he possibly be, am I right? :)
And another great thing? The demons genuinely don't have the most important information either. :D
I almost forgot that they need Rahu Ketu's weapon to unseal the cup... all these macguffins to keep track of.
Tumblr media
And this ist how the story tells us that Xuan Ji and Ling Long are twins... pretty easy to miss.
Tumblr media
Ten months?? That's quite post-term!
Tumblr media
Ling Long is amazing from the start. Protective older sister is something I need more of... and Ling Long is fierce!
Tumblr media
The introduction of Min Yan is also on point: the only one who can keep up with Ling Long and never leaves her, but at the same time is always backed into some corner by her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is regretting it already... :D
Tumblr media
Ling Long is talking about all these "handsome men" she gets to meet and Min Yan is not amused...
Tumblr media
I have questions! Are all of these golden winged birds?? If so, do they really cast out so many potential warriors? To fend for themselves in hostile world without their powers?? That's rough AND wasteful...
Tumblr media
I can't decide which picture sums up the Master of Li Ze Palace (does he have a name???) better, but I love him and his terrifying claws.
Tumblr media
The bird lantern! There truly is foreshadowing for everything, if you know what to look for!
Tumblr media
Yuan Lang's and Wu Zhi Qi's "friendship" is so interesting to me, because sometimes Yuan Lang almost looks like he means it... but the powerplay always comes first.
Tumblr media
Wu Tong goes from awestruck to smirking in 0,2 seconds and then proceeds to bully the sister of the girl he likes... it's actually quite realistic.
Tumblr media
I honestly can't remember when Si Feng stops stammering... I will have to look out for that.
Tumblr media
Ling Long isn't afraid to say it. :D
Tumblr media
Min Yan still isn't enjoying the whole "let's look for handsome mysterious guys" vibe, but Ling Long has him figured out.
Tumblr media
The relationship between these two is extremely enjoyable right from the start. :)
Tumblr media
I think this is the scene that made me definitely fall in love with Ling Long. She is determined, driven, protective and smart, and she is not afraid to use tactics like this - the crying and evocation of their mother is extremely well done and the way she immediately cuts her crying once she gets what she wants is hilarious. No one can mess with her sister, not even their own father!
Tumblr media
This is a very specific morning routine. It can't be easy to make your tea from dewdrops fallen from a plum tree... just saying.
Tumblr media
This relationship is off to a very bad start.
I already forgot how hostile Si Feng was at the beginning. I would feel bad for Xuan Ji, but she doesn't mind...
Tumblr media
Si Feng is repressed and Chuan Ji is absolutely clueless about everything and it's very entertaining to watch. :)
The candle dragon sounds are genuinely scary.
Tumblr media
This is a very impulsive decision on Chuan Ji's part and one she should have thought out better. She knows the rules, knows that the mask is important. What is she hoping to achieve by taking it off? It frustrates me a little, this lack of forethought, but the story needs it to get moving.
Tumblr media
And here is another clue... wow, that's quite a lot for episode 1.
One episode was enough to rekindle my love for most of these characters... this rewatch could get quite annoying unfortunately . :)

Fashion Illustrator: Ye Qianyu for Ling Long Magazine 1931-33 (part 2)
Part 1
Tumblr media
1931, vol 49. Evening dress of white georgette, paired with a short vest.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 50. Long cheongsam and short jackets for weather too warm for coats.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 51. Vest for long cheongsam. Again the author comments on the passing of the fad for open vests when cheongsam became longer.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 53. Tennis attire.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 54. Collarless cheongsam for warm weather, with wave trimming and matching underpants. The author comments on how Chinese women seldom wear clothing with an open neckline because of frail physique, and how that has been changing because of exercise.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 55. Left: Parisian evening dress with Chinese style collar. Right: sheer black collarless cheongsam with high slits, matching slip dress similarly slit, and a pair of underpants.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 56. Long cheongsam with very wide trimming. The author comments on how the silhouette of the cheongsam in summer 1932 was already at its longest and the sleeves at its tightest, so innovation could be sought in colors and trimmings.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 57. Half Western style casual attire. An early 30s Western top and pants ensemble, but with a Chinese style collar and dajin attached. The sleeves have a flared design. Ideal for outdoors.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 58. This is a long cheongsam with contrasting top and skirt, the underpants being made in matching fabric to the top, and a short vest in matching fabric to the skirt could be worn.
The text is very interesting; apparently this style of dress with contrasting top and skirt was called 接衫 jieshan, and was considered cheongsam, not aoqun, by people of the period. The author also notes that this style has been worn by men before (I have not seen corresponding images?), and that the women’s cheongsam has been becoming similar to the men’s cangshan.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 59. Two tone jieshan in contrasting black and white, with white underpants.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 60. Collarless cheongsam with slit sleeves and matching underpants.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 62. Beach pajamas.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 64. School uniform.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 65. Long cheongsam for fall, with four buttons at the dajin, and diagonal accents at the hem and sleeves.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 66. Long sleeved cheongsam for fall in patterned sheer fabric, with matching vest.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 67. Long cheongsam with decorative trimming, matching underpants.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 68. Short Western style jacket.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 69. Long sleeved jieshan with contrasting patterns, worn with a scarf and matching underpants. I love this design!
Tumblr media
1932, vol 70. Short coat with fur collar for cold fall weather.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 71. “Long cheongsam at its longest”. Floor length hem, long sleeves and high slits, worn with matching underpants.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 72. Black and white evening dress with cape like sleeves. Collar and dajin of Chinese construction.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 73. Coat for students.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 74. White coat with plaid accents.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 75. Short tailored coat with a full fox collar.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 77. Long coat. The author notes how women were wearing shorter coats popularized when cheongsam was shorter; now that cheongsam is longer, they suggest coats become longer as well.
Tumblr media
1933, vol 81. Short coat of white fox. The author comments on the popularity of fur coats in winter, and how wrap coats common in previous years are supplanted by tailored coats with a satin lining.

Hey by the way if anyone tries to deny Kabru is a judgy bitch I’ll send you the panels of him calling everyone worthless
Respect his duality he’s a good boy who genuinely wants the best for everyone but also thinks he has to do everything himself despite being the Least Qualified Ever because no one else lives up to his standards
He doesn’t even want to look at monsters but oh well every single other person is a piece of shit let’s go get my friends killed over and over again
He’s interesting BECAUSE he’s not one dimensional Good Pure Boy all the time, he’s a judgy manipulative little shit who will eat monsters if it gets him towards his goals, which are “nobody should be killed by monsters actually” and “i want to know what the fuck is going on”
He coulda had ONE honest conversation with Laios and known literally everything about him, Laios has never met a filter
But Kabru was raised for a good chunk of his life (6-18) by Milsiril, and for all he believes elves can never understand short lived people… he picked up the whole “I must be secretive and always conceal my own motivations”
He only breaks under literally the most intense high pressure situation he’s likely to see in his life, which along with being the potential goddamn apocalypse is also a rehashing of All Of His Personal Trauma oh and also Every Suspicion He Ever Had About This One Guy
He’s not more honest because he’s an honest person, he’s more honest because he forgot how sentences work when he finally caught Laios and doesn’t have the bandwidth to play the constant 4D chess in his head that underpins his EVERY INTERACTION WITH EVERYONE EVER until Marcille takes the lion
Kabru’s a pretty good person, with extremely good motivations and goals.
He’s a manipulative son of a bitch who will do anything, anywhere, anytime, to meet those goals, and spends a solid chunk of his time and energy on reading people so he can be someone they like… regardless of his own feelings.
He’s the living The Good Of The Many Outweigh The Needs Of The Few, and solidly puts himself in with “the few” by doing shit he hates because he thinks it’ll help.
Isn’t that more interesting than “oh he would never manipulate anyone, he’s so nice and good all the time”?

The rough sketch was started and left to languish in 2018. Six years. It took me SIX years to do something with it. And all it really required was for me to decide to return to my crack-ridden roots. (There's now a link on my main page to all my stupid multi-fandom fancomics and 4koma nonsense.)
Accompanying crack ficlet here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/54778528

Love and Redemption Rewatch: ep. 2
This rewatch could take a little longer than I expected with how time consuming it is, but here we go...
Tumblr media
And so we get our first shred of the Mirror... which really should have been better hidden, if they ever hoped thing such as this not to happen.... The Secret Ground isn't all that secure.
Tumblr media
From the start, Bai Lin is extremely determined that some things just Must Not Happen!
Tumblr media
This whole "we are deciding Xuan Ji's punishment" situation shows very nicely the priorities and motivations of several characters. Ling Long shows up as soon as the whole berating starts, ready to intervene but biding her time. When the punishment is announced, Min Yan reacts immediately and pleads for leniency (on his knees and all). He doesn't think about it at all. I believe his main motivation is (as always) Ling Long, who, he knows, is extremely unhappy by this development and wants to protect her sister. Additionally, Xuan Ji is his friend and he wants to help her, but his main objective is to make Ling Long happy. Ling Long tries her classic crying act but is immediately silenced and quickly realizes that the situation is too dire to save her sister like this (still she tries one more trick - to appeal to aunt Hong - but this also fails). Xuan Ji doesn't fear the cave because she has no point of reference for pain or discomfort (beeing pampered her whole life) and is by far the most chill with the situation. But she also doesn't have any real regard for the rules of her sect and doesn't get the severity of her transgression. And that isn't because of her non-existent emotions, that is herself. She isn't concerned with rules or great ideals, she lives in the moment. Her biggest concern at the moment is Si Feng's wellbeing as she feels a connection with him. (Lets face it - Si Feng is guilty for trespassing in another sect's Secret Ground just because he needed to find his spiritual beast - Xuan Ji isn't protecting an innocent, she protects the boy she had connected with).
Chu Lei's speech to Yuan Lang has strong "who allowed you to go into my bedroom, the door were closed, bitch!" vibe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, this happened 16 years ago, approximately when Xuan Ji was born... but what about in her previous lifes, was the Jade Cup always sealed somewhere nearby? Did I just forget this detail?
Tumblr media
Such a clever little misdirection and at the same time a hint...
Tumblr media
And another clever misdirection: the show keeps showing us Yuan Lang during Xuan Ji's visions (and sometimes even Wu Zhi Qi) giving audience the impression that THIS is Star of Mosha thatwe are battling. My friend was even confused that there seemed to be more of them as the face and the mask keeps changing! Good job confusing the audience! :)
Tumblr media
The "Ling Long tries to teach her sister how to cry" scene is very funny... and adorable... I love Ling Long.
Tumblr media
The chilli powder plan is genius... :D In my country we use onion - works every time!
Tumblr media
Si Feng is getting flogged as a punishment and the justification is that losing the mask puts everyone from Lize palace in danger... and this is probably not untrue...
Also, Si Feng stammers only in the presence of Xuan Ji.
Tumblr media
Bai Lin is here for ten (largely uneventful) years already... he must miss his bed...
Tumblr media
It's very sweet how sincerely Min Yan cares about Xuan Ji (even if it is a fertile ground for future misconceptions). Actually Xuan Ji is very loved by her sect brothers and sisters...
Tumblr media
Is there some hidden meaning to the fact that taste has been the first sense to be recovered?
Tumblr media
As expected, Ling Long's cooking is terrible. And as expected, Min Yan eats it all anyway, because she doesn't want her to be sad. I love these two, but Min Yan is the one who truly treasures his beloved person.
Tumblr media
Min Yan's reaction to Ling Long's bitching is priceless...
Tumblr media
... OR they want to save their own mask (and skin). One of those options. (Just saying. Si Feng isn't motivated by personal feelings just yet.)
Tumblr media
Min Yan can be quite sneaky... and his plan actually worked! Good job, even worth Ling Long's slight disappointment.
Tumblr media
And... he isn't stammering anymore, yep... That was quick - must have been the shock in the first place.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When you have the luxury of knowing, this is truly heartbreaking... I must look out for the first tears.
Tumblr media
The beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Fashion Illustrator: Ye Qianyu for Ling Long Magazine 1931-33 (part 1)
Tumblr media
In my research for early 1930s Chinese fashion, I’ve come across a lot of fashion illustrations by artist 叶浅予 Ye Qianyu. While Ye is more well known for his depictions of ethnic minority women, I think his fashion illustrations are much more interesting and valuable resources for the study of the period. His fashion illustrations were published in the magazine 玲珑 Ling Long (spelled Lin Loon at the time), a highly popular weekly lifestyle magazine for society women. His art style at this time shows influences from contemporary Western fashion illustration, and is particularly endearing to me as someone who is accustomed to seeing fashions of the period depicted in this style. It’s a shame that the Wikipedia article about Ye doesn’t even bother to mention his work for Ling Long, as if it’s too insignificant to be included. The time frame of 1931-32 in which he operated was an extremely interesting transitional period for Chinese women’s fashion, and we can catch a glimpse of many unusual and avant-garde designs in his illustrations.
Without further ado, here is a (not the most thorough) collection of fashion illustrations by Ye Qianyu, extracted from digital copies of Ling Long. With commentary from yours truly. The original physical copies are, I believe, held at the University of Columbia library, I purchased the digital copies from Etsy.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 17. Summer loungewear. A collarless Chinese construction top with a pointed hem, and a pair of wide legged pants with side slits.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 18. A cheongsam of mid calf length, more convenient than an ankle length one. Should be made in diagonally plaid fabric to suit the season. For the afternoon or going out.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 19. Long evening cheongsam with high slits and wide trimming, worn with high heels. The sleeve hems have a pointed design, and the dajin is adorned with four buttons, much like the collar. I know I said in previous posts that the long, ankle length cheongsam became popular around 1933----after looking at these drawings, I stand corrected. Long cheongsam had appeared in 1930-31, but coexisted with shorter styles.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 22. Lounging clothes for the house, a v neck top and pants.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 23. Long white cheongsam with thigh high slits and matching underpants.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 25. Collarless cheongsam, recommended for women of more athletic build.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 26. Two tone evening dress with white top and black skirt. The waistline has a dramatic curved v shape, and the same motif is repeated in the sleeve hems. A black feather fan goes nicely with it.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 29. Long cheongsam and shawl for fall.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 30. Fall cheongsam and 接衫 jieshan (cheongsam with contrasting top and skirt; there’s more detailed explanation in a later entry). I adore the trimmings and patterns on these two.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 31. Ladies’ jackets. The author comments on how the short open front vests went out of fashion as cheongsam became longer. They recommend wearing a short jacket after the men’s style for weather too warm for coats.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 32. Evening dress for fall, with colored accents.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 32. Indanthren fabric advertisement featuring a long cheongsam with rounded hem and matching rounded sleeve slits.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 35. Long cheongsam with matching underpants and shawl.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 36. Green evening dress with separate top and skirt, worn with bracelets of matching shade of green. The other designs featured are also very interesting, especially the jieshan with flounced skirt to the far right.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 38. Winter attire for students, consisting of a woollen top, matching scarf and a knee length skirt.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 39. Coat for early winter, with polka dot scarf.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 40. Winter dresses for inside the house, as coats should be worn when going out. The dress on the left is consisted of a sheer top with collar and a slip that transitions into a flared black skirt. Worn with a black belt and flower at the shoulder. The cheongsam to the right has four buttons at the dajin, and rounded skirt and sleeve hems.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 42. Two tailored winter coats.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 43. Two tailored winter coats. It’s recommended that coats should be form fitting, and heavier fabric wouldn’t hurt.
Tumblr media
1931, vol 44. Left is an evening dress for dancing; it’s noted that dance halls have heating and thin clothing could be worn inside. Right is a tailored coat with fur trimming, worn outside a long cheongsam.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 45. Tailored coat with fur trimming. The hem of the cheongsam is trimmed in the same fur.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 47. A short, unbuttoned evening jacket of fur.
Tumblr media
1932, vol 48. Chinese construction top and pair of mid calf pants. With scalloped trimming and a left dajin opening. Ideal for spring outings.
