Zeus is the Greek god of weather and many things, you may see him as a ‘Cheater’, but in many cases, the people who claimed to stem from Zeus were just fatherless people, wanting to claim fame for their bloodline. He is a kind a merciful God, as long as you don't speak unwell or lies.

This deep dive is a payment to my friend Bri @briislame, May you look up and find Zeus looking down with smiles.

Unshakable Faith (2023)

Episode 35 Breakdown

Dr Bai grabs Seamstress Miao by the throat, demanding to know who Snow Wolf is, but she refuses to unmask her leader. He leaves after threatening to kill them all if anything happens to Nurse Bai again. Electrician Liu Simao sees Officer Ding watch the shop, and creeps in the back door to advise Seamstress Miao that she has been compromised. She immediately sets out to burn several papers and a book before being stabbed by Liu Simao. He tries to take her bag but she holds tight, and he has to flee empty handed when the police arrive, and she dies without any confession. Searching her shop, the police team find her radio equipment, maps of the air raid shelter location and the negatives of the blueprint photos.

On the last day of the experiment, Expert Chief Chu returns to the lab and instructs Ji Danyang to make the coundown and announcement of the experiment's successful end. The cabin team are helped out of the sealed cabin, rejoicing in the sunlight and Ji Danyang finds He Xiwan still inside. She completes logging the last page of data and gives it to him before collapsing from exhaustion.

Master Welder Niu finds the hidden compartment in the cabin with the empty phosphorus bottle inside, concluding it was made by Assistant Rui. Police Captain Chen debriefs Officer Xu who participated in the experiment, focussing on the movements of Nurses Bai and Shanshan, but is at a loss as to how they would know they would get inside. Police Captain Chen has the Hospital Chief review the medical checks of the cabin participants and they discover that the expert who collapsed shouldn't have been given clearance at all. He compiles a list of the medical staff involved in the fitness checks and the Police Chief suggests allowing Nurse Shanshan back to work to see what reaction is provoked.

Officer Hongmei, still recovering from her mercury poisoning, visits Dr Bai and informs him of the seamstresses murder and identity as a spy, and that they'd found her father's body with the help of an anonymous key. Ji Danyang takes a break from analysing the cabin data to visit Officer Hongmei in hospital and they discuss where they might go now this part of the project is coming to an end.

In the expert's office, Lei Peizheng notices one of his titanium samples is missing and reports it to the police team. They check Factory Chief Han's samples and find the missing piece amongst them, but one of his absent. Factory Chief Han questions Secretary Lu about the missing titanium, stating that if a man makes a mistake he should have the courage to correct it, but Secretary Lu still denies his involvement.

Secretary Lu is angry and meets Nurse Bai, demanding  to know once and for all if she is a spy and when she doesn't commit to an answer he tells her he plans to confess and if she if a spy to run. She slaps him. Their altercation is noticed by Nurse Zhang Ling and Nurse Leader Ge and Nurse Bai sees Nurse Ge watching from the window.

...............................................

He Xiwan is all about the mission! Good grief girl you'll go down in history but you'll go down with mercury poisoning too.

"I can't be like Li Guangming". Ok so Secretary Lu does know what happened to Security Captain Li and is FINALLY realising he's in the same spot. Good for him for finally deciding to confess, although will that slap make him change his mind? I really hope he does come forward on his own. He knows the scrutiny is closing in and so does Nurse Bai now. What's she going to do? She can only pin so much on Nurse Shanshan (which I'm still fuming about btw)

Seamstress Miao stabbed in the back (or front) by your cohort. That's what your loyalty to the wrong people will get you.

So who's left now? The still unidentified Snow Wolf, Nurse Bai (who is suspected), fake Li Qiuchen (who is suspected), electrician Liu Simao (who is confirmed and being searched for). At this point Nurse Bai and Fake Li haven't heard about the murder of the seamstress yet but it's not a secret in town so it wont be long. Do they even have another base of operation in town now that the seamstress shop is compromised? How will they pass messages along now?

3 episodes to go! What am I expecting? Whoever the fuck Snow Wolf is, they're going to have to show their face for one final attempt on the project (maybe trying to grab or destroy the data before it can be transported to Beijing?)

As a rule, the commited spies have died (Zhang A Shui, Lai Guangrun, Assitant Rui and Seamstress Miao) and the coerced traitors have been imprisoned (Security Captain Li, the messenger & the digging team). So Liu Simao and Fake Li wont survive, and Secretary Lu will be imprisoned... but what about Nurse Bai? She's a fully committed spy, but she's also one of our leads. I can't imagine her being killed off, it would be too tragic for our other leads. I'd wondered earlier about the possibility of a change of heart upon learning it was the KMT who killed her parents (the reveal of which I still expect) but she's done so much more sabotage since then that there's little to no room left for turning around. Will she just be imprisoned? Or will Dr Bai try and convince her to run away?

Title: Bryan360's OC - Ozwald & Gerby

Hello, Jan! Here's another "Secret Art Trade" for my A-Pal, @bryan360.🙂

So, you think that Emme, Scottie, Windy & Jo are the lasts four OCs I made for him? Nope, because my A-Pal creates two more OCs on his OC list from July & November 2023, respectively debut. So, let's meet these two new furry anthros, shall we?😁

• Ozwald 🦦🤿: An intelligent otter with an adventurous complex, he's caring about the ocean environment and resourcing the nature of the deep blue sea, not just laid back while playing with his water-proofed tablet, or any devices built for water surface. Ozwald is making friends from all sources of marine creatures, from upper sea to the lower depths of the ocean field. Did he mentioned, that he's also good at his lovable hobbies? Go see it for yourself → [CLICK ME].

• Gerby 🐹🎸 : A friendly gopher who loves joining all kinds of festivities with his trusty guitar and his skillful music tunes. Comedic, playful, and being troublemaker by harmless jump-surprise (and no not jump scare) from his digging hole, Gerby is always here to throw a party, when someone is throwing a party. And if there's no celebrating, then he can lay back from his digging home and rest while he's tuning his guitar music (similar to Ozwald). After all, resting is a rechargeable source of our body. More about him, then please → [CLICK ME!].

Well, that’s all for now.🙂 If you haven’t seen my previous revamp digital artworks from this year, then I’ll provide some links down below. ↓😉

Our Christmas tree is so cute and fluffy this year! :D Sis and I decorated it yesterday (after letting it melt for a day first) and today we added gifts under it (because we celebrate Christmas at the evening of 24th of December). This way we can enjoy the gifts already just by eyeing them for far away :D

But THERE’S SO MANY GIFTS, IHIHIHIHII!

Morning Glory

🌱 common morning glory

General symbolism

Human life, as it rises each morning and sleeps each evening.

Resilience, as they thrive in harsh conditions.

Life, death and resurrection. As they wither each night, they rise again in the morning.

Creativity and using own means to survive, even if it is alternate from popular choices. They twirl their tendrils around nearby supports to rise up to meet the sun.

The soft, healing power of the sun.

Its short lifespan denotes the fleeting nature of love. Its daily renewal denotes how love can be revived just as easily.

An undying love despite life's challenges.

Unrequited love and obsession, because of their clinging nature.

🌱 moonflower

Historical & Cultural Association

One of September's birth flowers, the other one is the aster.

Symbolises the 11th wedding anniversary, along with aster and tulip.

In Victorian era, it carries the symbol of love and death. Morning glory vines have been pictured growing on tombstones. It represents mourning, short life and in some cases, resurrection. In Victorian love language, it symbolises love in vain.

The Aztecs used the juice of morning glories to create a substance similar to rubber. Before a sacrifice, the seeds were mixed with insects and tobacco, then rubbed all over their bodies. This mixture was believed to help the sacrificial victim in finding the afterlife and being reborn.

In Japan, the flower is a symbol of innocence and love.

In rural England, morning glories are also called Life of Man, as they symbolise human lives.

In China, morning glories are associated with a mythical love story, where Chien Niu (name meaning: the one who guides/shepherds the cows) and Chih Neu (name meaning: the one who knits) are allowed to meet only once a year as they have neglected their duties and were punished by a God.

The Chinese also used this flower as a powerful laxative, although consuming high dosages would result in hallucinations.

Many Chinese poets praised this flower in their poems, often associating it with hardworking and optimistic qualities.

Christians believe that the morning glory resembles the short time we spend on earth.

🌱 cardinal climber

Facts & Trivia

There are 1,000 different species of morning glories found all over the world except Antarctica.

Every time after it blooms for two hours, the flower petals will curl outwards as if it is greeting everyone good morning. This is how it gets its name.

Despite the name, many varieties of morning glories actually bloom at night.

Almost all parts of this plant are poisonous, so shouldn't be used for tea or medicine. They can have serious effects on the kidneys and lungs.

Morning glory seeds are poisonous (especially in large quantities), so please keep out of reach from children and pets. Symptoms range widely from diarrhea to hallucinations.

Blooms from early summer to the first frost of fall.

Some species are creepers and some are climbers.

Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds love them.

Tanghulu Niuniu - New Year's JZEU Series (2)

Hello to the single most popular figure* in the Junzhe fan fig world!

Here we have Zhang Zhehan as Duke Su Xu Jin from The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion.

His Excellency has both hands full of this delicious sugary treat, and is looking as cute as can be.

This fig looks cute in pictures, but it has to be seen to be actually believed. It is completely, insanely ADORABLE. No wonder Xu Jin is nicknamed niuniu (an affectionate name for a cute little girl)!

This little man is absolute perfection. I can't emphasize enough how much cuter he is in person. He is so popular that when the fig maker reopened the second run of sales for him, he sold out in seconds. The fig maker added more...which also sold out immediately. As I mentioned in the last post, the fig maker was kind enough to open an international link for him, so us slow, disadvantaged international buyers had a chance at snapping him up.

I'm so happy to finally have him! He was selling for a fortune on Xianyu before the seller opened up the second run. Which was good, because I was about to break down and buy him.

He's so rosy cheeked and sweet looking.

I've moved The Blooms at Ruyi Palace to the top of my to-watch list, but I haven't actually watched it yet! Maybe over the holidays.

A close up of his carefully coifed hair and his fancy guan. I can tell he's Xu Jin because of the side part in his hair.

An extreme closeup of his outfit (and his beautiful face).

The beautiful box card. I like how this series has the inspiration for the fig right on the box card.

The box card - Niuniu with his tanghulu in a busy market street.

*I say this fig is the single most popular fig in the fandom because this fig is so cute, it is heavily featured in fan photos/fig story sets. He is all over the place, and in way cleverer and prettier photos than mine will ever be! Here's an example...with credit to 櫻葉_六角星 (translations courtesy Google Translate):

Niu Niu is Riding in an RV (The Third Part of Niu Niu's Adventures)

Brother Yeye: Niuniu, the weather is pleasant today, brother will take you to ride a horse!

Niuniu: Don't want to!

Niuniu: Niuniu is going to take a big car today!

Niuniu: Brother Ye, I'm going to play! Bye!

Niuniu: Next time I want to take a car ride with brother Yeye...

Poor Hanye! The shot of him riding away with a broken emoji heart and pool of tears always makes me laugh. I'm ready for Part 4 of his adventures -I also want to see Niuniu take a car ride with Brother Yeye!

Material: PVC

Fig Count: 156

Diorama Count: 9

Snowglobe Count: 1

Rating: Sweet as sugar

Two in One.

For the Chowder and Panini Animation.

It has been a while ever since my P-Pal did an animation. Maybe next time he can try doing animations of his OCs doing any kind of activity together. Especially with the Ramcats and the Rabbits.

For the Inktober Photo

I sure hope Halley and Sputnik are alright of having Radar wearing Sputnik's clothes. otherwise I think the girls might've played a trick on taking a photo of Radar wearing her clothes. Which this can be much different then how Windy would take a photo of her kids ballet dancing together. Especially if Windy wanted to ballet dance with Maxwell, May, Sam, Emme, Jo, Brown and Niu.

Unshakable Faith (2023)

Episode 17 Breakdown

He Xiwan is threatened by Lai Guangrun, and a woman comes into the barn to offer her some food but she refuses to speak to either of them. The woman leaves the barn, telling Lai Guangrun that kidnapping a high profile expert is reckless and he gives the order and the electrician Liu Simao boards up the door to the barn.

The lion clock leads the police team to the story of an old prestigious local family, whose farms are now abandoned. Shortly after this they get another call from Zhou Jun arranging an exchange at the river on the opposite side of the region. Knowing it's a diversion but stalling for time, Police Captain Chen and Officer Tongbin go to the river and find only a note stating to give up the Water Drop project or more experts will die. Officer Hongmei and Officer Ding reach the abandoned farm and find the boarded up shed, breaking their way in when they hear He Xiwan calling for help.

The art exhibition is held and Officer Jiang interviews several of the attendees about Zhou Jun and his style is recognised by one professor, bringing their list of suspects down to one teacher.

Officer Hongmei and Nurse Bai take Ji Danyang in his wheelchair to see the progress at the construction site and he is greeted by Master Welder Niu and many of the other tradesmen. In his excitement about the work Ji Danyang even gets out of his chair and Officer Hongmei teases him about being on his feet.

Ji Danyang is allowed back to his dorm and settles right into the problem of the pool construction, explaining how the concrete needs to be poured all in one process to have adequate pressure stability for their future testing.

The night before the pool construction, Officer Hongmei is tasked with searching Security Captain Li's room while he is on a job, but he's suspicious and comes home early while she's still there. Avoiding being found, Officer Hongmei completes her search and finds the letters and photos of Security Captain Li's sweetheart - who turns out to be the same woman who tried to intercept Ji Danyang in Hong Kong. The Police team are now certain that Security Captain Li was behind several sabotage attempts in the past but he must also have an accomplice that is still unidentified.

Officer Hongmei tracks Security Captain Li to a meeting with a messenger and watches them exchange bags. Her team arrests the messenger and she follows Security Captain Li through the evening market crowd, but he evades her by cutting a power line and escapes in the dark.

.......................................

Good for He Xiwan to use her teeth and not trust anyone until Hongmei arrived! I was thinking that they gave up rather quickly about trying to get He Xiwan to talk, but clearly this was a diversion so that they could try and sneak their way into the construction site. These KMT spies are really good at layering their diversion tactics, keeping our good guys on their toes.

It's great to see our math man healthy and happy again and it seems like he's got a lot of friends not just with the women at the factory but the construction crew as well. And he's back to giving Hongmei grief - she has to physically restrain him when he decides to try and run. Dorks.

As Hongmei was following Security Captain Li through the crowd I was seriously expecting someone to suddenly stab or shoot him, and the bag he'd been given to have junk paper instead of the money and passports he was wanting. The KMT have already said to Dr Bai that you can't walk away from your actions, and I'd doubt they'd want Security Captain Li out of their grasp when he can identify Lai Guangrun as Lizard and the plans for the pool sabotage. I imagine he's probably scared of that too, but we'll have to wait and see if he survives long enough to be caught and confess.

It's really interesting how some of the spies are really sympathetically written and some are very black and white villainous, Dr Bai and Security Captain Li being the former and Zhang A Shui and Lai Guangrun being the latter. The sympathy for Dr Bai was developed before the reveal of his past and him being roped back into the spy game in the present, whereas Security Captain Li's treachery reveal was early on and the sympathy has been developed the more we see him being coerced.

And I felt sympathy for Lai Guangrun and the electrician Liu Simao before their spy reveals but none after, and I wonder if the longer the time to know the characters before their reveal will mean a bigger feeling of betrayal for me as a viewer. I know that the influx of new workers likely means there will be a few new spies coming into the factory, but we also know that Snow Wolf is somewhere nearby and unrevealed, and logically will likely be a character we already know well.
