TTEOTM Easter Eggs Part 3 - Costume and Makeup Details
I love beautiful costumes, but even more when they tell a story! Here are a few of my observations. Did you spot anything else? (Spoilers!)
(1) The two outfits Ye Xiwu gifted Tantai Jin are both quilted. The purple costume is particularly unusual in that it's constructed like a blanket. In contrast, all his clothing in the hostage prince arc are not quite thick enough for Sheng kingdom's harsh winters. Ye Xiwu is literally bringing warmth to his life.

(2) TTJ and YXW wear similar costumes in their two love scenes - (1) Ep 2 - YXW's imagination of the drugged affair which led to their marriage and (2) Ep 39, where they finally consummated their marriage on screen. YXW wears the same pink costume. TTJ in different but identical-looking mustard yellow costumes.

(3) Some viewers have criticized Ye Xiwu for not taking off hair accessories before going to bed, chalking it up to lazy filmmaking. This is not necessarily the case. In ancient China, upper class women did sleep with their hair-do and manage to keep elaborate designs in tack. How? By resting her neck, not her head, on the pillow.
Tumblr media
Ye Xiwu / Li Susu does go without hair accessories in a few occasions: when she is traveling, ill, depressed, and in mourning. It is most likely a creative choice to create a contrast between moments where her character is in control and powerful vs. vulnerable.

(4) All of Tantai Jin's female lieutenants wear red, from Pianran (after she starts working for him) to Siying and Monu. In fact, so does Tantai Minglang's lieutenant Fuyu. Red appears to be the career woman's color in this world!

(5) After Mingye falls in love with Sangjiu, he adds the red waist scarf belt that's part of his wedding dress on top of his normally blue outfit.

(6) The costume that Cang Jiumin (left) wears when refining the Dragonheart Shield echoes Mingye's costume (right) through the red/blue colors and collar design, reinforcing the connection between the two characters.

(7) The costumes in Bo're dream hint at the characters' true forms:
Mingye (dragon): dragonscale armour & patterned clothing
Sangjiu & Sangyou (clams): pearls & shell motifs
Tianhuan (snake): gold serpent hair crown & bracelets

(8) Throughout the drama, only characters in the Upper Immortal Realm go full Dunhuang Feitian style, characterized by bandeaus, scarves, layers of drapery, sleeveless (similar to Indian clothing).
Tumblr media
The style is used in formal occasions or to confer power or godliness. For example, Sangjiu goes Dunhuang with sleeveless draping outfits at her wedding and after she goes dark.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Similarly, when Susu and Tantai Jin become gods at the finale, they also take on a new Dunhuang-style outfit. In fact, the multi-color drapery of Tantai Jin's outfit seem to be an amalgamation of the fabric used in the twelve gods' outfits.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(9) Members of the Moon Tribe all wear long wavy hair, chunky metal and coin ornaments, and hair braiding.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tantai Jin follows the dress code when he stays with the Moon Tribe before entering the spiritual dimension.
Tumblr media
Guess who also loves his wavy hair, metallic accessories, and leather? Of course it's the Ancient Devil God, again reminding viewers of his connection to the tribe.
Tumblr media
Bonus: Luo Yunxi mentioned in an interview that his characters (hostage prince, emperor, Mingye, Devil Gods) all have different hairpieces/wigs. He had to take off and reglue his hair between scenes.

For request_aquest on Twitter! I had a lot of fun with this prompt. Thank you for donating!
They requested a chibi style art of Sang You crying in Ming Ye's arms after discovering a recipe for clam chowder. Love that dark humor, yes I do.

my tteotm ships from most normal to most insane:
tantai jin x ye xiwu or mingye x sang jiu: canon but het, kinda meh, a strap-on should be involved (i can't picture luo yunxi topping)
xiao lin x ttj: supported by subtext ("we could have been brothers"), the sad childhood backstory is a plus
ji ze x sang you: they never met each other* but they must look cute together, potentially spicy (and sad) bc jz is a god and sy is a demon (except jz is the spicy one hehehe)
tantai minglang x ttj: very problematic since they're half-brothers but extra spicyyy for the same reason, i'm totally getting cancelled for this
*technically they did, as jz saw sy's dead body in the barren abyss lol

A minute later, the game ended.
Jiang Yan and Fang Ya'er jumped 45 times, belonging to the normal human category.
Yu Yin and Qin Yirou jumped 0 times, belonging to the abnormal human category.
Qi Baicha and Fu Mingye jumped 168 times, belonging to..
Did this belong to the superhuman category?
The director took off his glasses in shock, doubting life in a blurry world.
They seemed to have broken the world record for two-person jump rope...
Qi Baicha was also surprised when he saw the result of the competition, and whispered to Fu Mingye, "Didn't I tell you to be a little more lowkey? "
Fu Mingye was also at a loss: "Weren't you able to keep up? " The difference in power between gods and humans was too far apart. Theoretically, they could even jump 10,000 times a minute, because gods could float in the air and now land, relying on hand speed to dominate the field...
It was after considering the weakness of human beings, that he limited it to 168 times a minute. For a god whose real strength could exceed 10,000 times a minute, was there a difference between 168 and 8 in their eyes? There wasn't.
Chacha wasn't unable to keep up either, so Fu Mingye thought that this was normal.
Obviously this was normal.
It was the other two groups that were too weak.
This was how Fu Mingye convinced himself.
two gods casually set a record ✅️
obviously normal human behavior ✅️
nothing suspicious at all ✅️
