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.

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.

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.

I swear I have seen this guy somewhere...

Yep, it's this guy from The Journey of Chong Zi.

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.

And this ist how the story tells us that Xuan Ji and Ling Long are twins... pretty easy to miss.

Ten months?? That's quite post-term!

Ling Long is amazing from the start. Protective older sister is something I need more of... and Ling Long is fierce!

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.

He is regretting it already... :D

Ling Long is talking about all these "handsome men" she gets to meet and Min Yan is not amused...

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...

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.

The bird lantern! There truly is foreshadowing for everything, if you know what to look for!

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.

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.

I honestly can't remember when Si Feng stops stammering... I will have to look out for that.

Ling Long isn't afraid to say it. :D

Min Yan still isn't enjoying the whole "let's look for handsome mysterious guys" vibe, but Ling Long has him figured out.

The relationship between these two is extremely enjoyable right from the start. :)

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!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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 . :)

I was thinking about the popular fan theory that 16 year old fanboy Chris Chibnall's embarrassing appearance complaining about Terror of the Vervoids on live television was possibly the inspiration for the character Whizz Kid in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.

If that's the case, then does that mean Benni and Vilma from Orphan 55 were based on Pip and Jane Baker?

re: the american education system showing high school children their "dead" peers in an effort to lessen teenage drunk driving after prom,

the suing part is one hundred percent true but several parents (including my mom <3) threatened to personally beat the ass of the principal at the time

#i'm small town they all grew up together #when my brother graduated i had just finished seventh grade #and my mom walked up to my brother's now former principal and was like alright henry you have a year #you have a year where you have none of my children in your school. i recommend getting your shit together in the mean time #and the high school had a different principal when i hit ninth grade #mer rambles #the new principal was lisa and we already had beef though thankfully my mother and grandmother were not involved #i got dress coded a lot bc wearing a belt was part of the dress code and i did not own one and had no interesting in procuring one #because i'm autistic and belts fucking suck #but every time i got dress coded teachers would send me directly to the principal bc i had an attitude problem you know how it is #and i'd walk in and lisa would be like “belt again?” and i'd be like “yeah :) how are my grades doing :)” #bc the first time i got sent directly to her i told her to pull up my grades and tell me that a belt mattered to my education #and she would just tell me to go back to class beltless #i was in... sixth or seventh grade at the time? #then lisa moved to the high school my first two years and then became superintendent #during the senior pep rally i was leaving the rally to go to my favorite teacher's classroom bc it was loud #and lisa and one of the other school board members were in the hall bc it was an Event #and they're like Where Are You Going Get Back In There and i was like well lisa i still have anxiety attacks so i'm gonna go be somewhere #else. is that alright with you? and she just waved me off :) <3 #i'm a nuisance to any and all authority figures

doing tech for an actual show is a lot of stress don't get me wrong, but nothing is worse than teching an event where 80% of the people in it and organising it have never done a show before/for several years and therefore has no idea of the restrictions and expected behaviours during rehearsals and performances. And yet my school does it every year.

#i mean its the best event of the year tbh #but they force the whole of sixth form (junior and senior year) to do it #and no everyone is familiar #and not all the leaders know what will and wont work #tech #theatre tech #tech crew

@typhoidcaught said: “ want your jacket back? ”

Attention shifts to examine the sight before him, taking it all in. His Milford High School letterman jacket is so graciously draped over Noels shoulders. What was the excuse this time, a chilly night? Some act of chivalry to ensure the other didn't get cold in the night air, conveniently disregarding his own temperature regulation. A small smile spreads, etching into faintly freckled features. ❛ Nah, keep it. 'Looks better on you. ❜

Hmmm thoughts on Mathematics?

boooooooo math booooo 🍅🍅🍅

#fun fact i haven't sat down to do a math probelm since i was a senior in high school #which now means if you put a sixth grade long division problem in front of me i would not be able to complete it <3 #but also ugh #math was one of the few subjects i had to like work my ass off to get a decent grade in #and i will begrudgingly admit that when you know what you're doing... it is maybe sort of a bit fun #but there is no terror like sitting down for a math test and not knowing how to approach a single problem like at least you can bs an essay #what are your thoughts on math arik now i'm curious

GUYS I GOT A SNOW DAY

#my senior year and my first snow day since sixth grade I’m so fucking happy! #liz talks incessantly

[poppyseed799]

You don’t need to have actually done any of these things it’s just whichever one you vibe with the most. I’m bored and hyperspecific polls are boring but look fun so I made this.

#polls #first one: idk why I thought minecraft rules applied to real life 😭 #second one: zombie bug was iconic okay. it became scary when I noticed he was gone. #third one: kind of just stupid on my stepfathers part but yeah I got grounded from thinking #fourth one: it wasn’t like rotten or anything I just didn’t like the flavor of that specific Mac n cheese #fifth one: surprisingly they could jump OVER us! #sixth one: you know like kicking each other under desks and stuff. yeah. we were smiling but never spoke. don’t think I knew his name. #seventh one: I KNEW THEY WERE CALLED SILVERFISH BUT. COME ON. MINECRAFT SILVERFISH DONT LOOK LIKE IRL ONES 😭 #eighth one: maybe more wholesome than silly but. yeah. they were always so surprised. #ninth one: …they had to force me to take freshman math in my senior year and I didn’t pass that either. #tenth one: LISTEN. IT WASNT MY FAULT AND I FELT SUPER BAD. but I did buy some gogos with the money I accidentally stole from ppl #I FEEL REALLY BAD THOUGH LOLLLL

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...

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.

From the start, Bai Lin is extremely determined that some things just Must Not Happen!

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.

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?

Such a clever little misdirection and at the same time a hint...

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! :)

The "Ling Long tries to teach her sister how to cry" scene is very funny... and adorable... I love Ling Long.

The chilli powder plan is genius... :D In my country we use onion - works every time!

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.

Bai Lin is here for ten (largely uneventful) years already... he must miss his bed...

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...

Is there some hidden meaning to the fact that taste has been the first sense to be recovered?

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.

Min Yan's reaction to Ling Long's bitching is priceless...

... 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.)

Min Yan can be quite sneaky... and his plan actually worked! Good job, even worth Ling Long's slight disappointment.

And... he isn't stammering anymore, yep... That was quick - must have been the shock in the first place.

When you have the luxury of knowing, this is truly heartbreaking... I must look out for the first tears.

The beginning of a beautiful friendship!

anybody else fantasize over which books they would pair together if they were perchance an English professor or running some type of oddball book club. Anyway my secret genius pairing is the sound and the fury and a confederacy of dunces.

#i just think they would be such a fun match. #i actually read both of them during my senior year in high school but it was my second time reading confederacy and first reading SATF #SATF was for school confederacy was not #i actually read my moms copy of confederacy when I was in sixth grade lmfao and I probably understood less than half of it but I loved it

day 2 of 100 days of productivity 💌

In maths today, we got our test scores back—I got an A*, get in! That said, I got it by one mark. Gotta do better next time. I will.

In physics, we had some circuits running to essentially verify Kirchhoff’s First Law, which was fun. One of my teammates accidentally blew the fuse for one of the multimeters because she connected it in parallel, instead of in series. But it was okay, our teacher didn’t mind.

I had a half-day in school today! So, once physics and lunch finished, I went for a stroll in the city centre. I really needed a binder for physics, so I went shop-hopping for that. I also nabbed a cookie from Millie’s. The city centre here is beautiful, I included a photo of the exterior of a hotel.

Allowing myself time to just relax has been proving hard. For the two hours I was strolling around aimlessly it was like something had been set off in my brain—“you should be working!” “Gotta study!” I have this compulsive need to be productive constantly, and, of course that’s what this series is about, but there’s got to be a limit on what you make yourself do before it becomes extremely unhealthy. I think I’m beginning to get there. I had a lot of fun just wandering around without any specific purpose.

What am I up to next? Well, I’m going to be sitting the Senior Maths Challenge afterschool tomorrow, which is important to me just because. I really want to do well. So I think I’m going to spend the rest of this day practising for that. I don’t have any homework due in tomorrow so I think it’ll be okay.

Could wax poetic for ages over the guy who moved into my school district in sixth grade and was one of the few who had been nice to me without expecting anything, defending me from teachers and students alike until the very end, who worked a job so tirelessly to buy his dad a new car only a year after our graduation but it’s too easy of a subject. The poem’s already there. It’s too obvious.

#the town I went to school in was always so cruel to anyone who moved in and did not have prior connections it was very bad #so eventually you start forming an allyship with those who move in. even if you wouldn’t normally do so. #bc it rlly was the kids who moved in vs the rest of the school environment #there’s one thing in particular I can never stop thinking abt #well there’s a lot actually I had a horrible time there #but one very nice moment went someth like #the pe teacher refused to call me by the name I had been going by since sixth grade during my senior year #there was another girl in my class who shared the same name so it got confusing if my legal name was ever used #she would call me by it every time for attendance. for splitting teams. everything. and it was embarrassing and uncomfortable #but this guy would stand up and correct her loudly in front of the entire class for me every single time no matter what #halfway through second semester she finally started feeling ashamed of being bested by like one loud senior. and stopped. #this guy literally only deserves good things coming to him fr bc I would not have gotten through school without his kindness #I speak

@typhoidcaught continued from here

Zach is planted firmly within the tub, an arm resting 'pon bent knee. All things considered, it's been a pretty good night. The friend group hopped from event to event, partying and truly living life to the fullest. The decision to get a hotel room was made last minute, all Venmo-ing one person to cover the cost. Two queen beds, and a pullout couch. All together, it wasn't a bad setup for the near two hundred they were paying. All these places to reside and yet, he's chosen to hole up in the bathroom. It was arguably quieter there before, when Jules and Mindy were drunkenly arguing about who would shower first in the morning. But now that they had fallen asleep, that argument couldn't be made. Not with the way sounds bounced off the tile and filled the air. Maybe it was for privacy, to have a quiet conversation and not wake the others up. That sounded better, gave reasoning for the current situation.

Perhaps it's the way Zach doesn't acknowledge Noel at all as he enters that elicits the jab to the chest, simply zoning out and staring into the reflective surface of the faucet. ❛ Nah, I'm up. ❜ There's a blink and then his attention turns to the other. ❛ Just thinking about things. ❜
