TLT2.5 can only be described as tedious. The worst Wu Xie and the Worst Zhang Qiling, partnered with a Wang Pangzi that fluctuates between good and... a Jack Black impression. Just awful

oof yeah I've heard that TLT2.5 is uhhhhhhhh a Rough Time (which is part of the reason why I've been reluctant to watch it tbh)

[lindwurmkai]

Watching Love And Redemption after Word of Honor and all those DMBJ adaptations is so funny because the cast is just

TLT2 Xiaoge with slightly more emotions

Yatou but completely unrecognisable

girl who looks like Gong Jun's twin sister

evil Ye Baiyi

TLT2 Xie Yuchen but he's a pain in the ass

TLT2.5 Wu Xie as a snake god who hisses at people and only cares about food and fighting

TLT2 Wu Sanxing as a merman

cute little Dou Cheng from the epic gay flashback in TLT2 as Cheng Yi's experienced, mischievous "older brother" (in the martial sense) and accomplice, who also has a teenaged daughter???

Chen Pi Ah Si is there

Yang Wuxie from Heroes is also there

several more familiar actors will briefly appear

who isn't on this show, really

#and i wasn't going to put it in the body of the post but does anyone else think zhong minyan looks oddly like data star trek??? #it took me like 8 episodes to figure out who he reminded me of because it was so unexpected #not tagging so as to avoid annoying people who are *not* into dmbj i guess (if anyone still checks the l&r tag) #anyway no spoilers in the notes please I'm not finished #kai catches up

[moonlightfilly]

*war flashbacks to TLT2.5*

#i have a feeling it won't be that serious in this one but like... ah yeah pang zi... i have seen Wu Xie upset at this plot point before #tho to be FAIR that one was so much worse because everyone was lying to wu xie at that point he was sick of it. not the same here #Ultimate Note #The Lost Tomb #Daomu Biji #Evie watches Ultimate Note #Evie watches The Lost Tomb #Evie watches #tumblring by moonlight #Ultimate Note 1x03

random things about me

tagged by my darling @bettsfic! and someone else, i forget whomst.

favourite color: turquoise and purple. no i will not choose

last song: the Paris acoustic set version of "Cornelia Street"—it's so incredible y'all. by the third chorus Tay is transformed into a rock star

last movie: Spring Fever, with Qin Hao and Chen Sicheng—my little review is here. an amazing indie film. Qin Hao in drag! i think the last movie I saw in a theatre was Lost in the Stars? or Barbie maybe.

currently watching: just finished the Thousand Autumns donghua and i'm still not sold on Yan Wushi, though Shen Qiao has my whole heart (and Wu Lei did an amazing job voice acting! i couldn't even recognize him). I'm on episode 4 of Mysterious Lotus Casebook but i might take a break to re-start a DMBJ series i haven't finished yet, either TLT2 or TLT2.5. OR possibly Mystic Nine (honestly just because i miss Zhang Rishan after Sha Hai).

currently reading: Sha Po Lang. ugh it's SO GOOD. i want volume 2 NOW. Cheng Geng is NOT HAVING any of this your-highness stuff.

currently working on: my 20k Guardian wip (yet another ye olde Haixing fix-it, but it wouldn't leave me alone) and a misbegotten piece of pingxie pwp filth. i'm trying to clear the decks so i can go back in december to my angsty iron triangle epic (but it's so sad!) and hopefully new heihua as well. though i still need prompts for that!

currently obsession: always the tomb boys—and that somehow includes Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing, because honestly it never gets less weird seeing Xiaoge and Wu Xie in hanfu and long hair.

and hey, if you want to do this, please consider yourself TAGGED!

#ask meme #please consider yourself tagged #i would like to know all about you

oh man, i just got HIGHLY motivated to finishing all the dmbj live action adaptations just so i can rank them for powerpoint night with the girlies . i have until the summer time to MOVE 🏃🏃

#summer bc my friendgroup literally cannot meet up ever any other time 😭 #i have tlt1 + tlt2 + tlt2.5 + sha hai to watch #mystic nine if i really wanna get into it — but i might watch just t see yixing as xiao hua LOL #OR WAIT . yixing is xiao hua in sha hai and erye in mystic 9 WHOOPS. #annie.txt

[berryholy]

As weak as both seasons of Explore With the Note are, I do have to admit that Liu Xueyi is actually a really good Xiao Hua. Not saying he's the best, but I can see where people would say he is. He is good looking, but he has a good Xiao Hua aura and can swing between more playful and more serious. Hei Yanjing is barely in it, but he and Xiao Hua already have an asshole-friend dynamic

oh I bet! I haven't gotten around to watching either tlt2 or tlt2.5 yet (one day. one day!) but every single gif I've seen of LXY as XH had him looking posh and beautiful and .5 seconds away from committing murder, and that's all I ask of my XH tbh.

#dmbj

[thosch3i]

So here's my personal ranking of DMBJ adaptations, thanks @mejomonster for the idea :D

(but psst first if anyone seeing this post haven't seen it already, there's an interest check for a pingxie gift exchange! over here.)

1. Ultimate Note (2020)

So I wrote a long ass post about UN here, where I mainly talk about the Iron Triangle because they're the heart of DMBJ and their relationship is what makes or breaks an adaptation for me, all else equal. But thankfully UN also has good pacing, faithfulness to the original story (and honestly a smoother and less confusing way of portraying it, but thats not saying much), no exceptionally cringy added romance plot lines, female characters treated as well as they can be given they were fridged in the source material, and a cast and crew with a deep appreciation and love for the characters and story, making the most of what they could with a tiny budget and no promotion. (UN is now the most highly-rated DMBJ adaptation on douban!) The main cast is a bit green, no doubt, but the longer it goes on the better they get. (If you scroll through my #translation tag far enough you'll find stuff XYL and ZSX have said about their characters. XYL especially, really understands Zhang Qiling and I will always respect him for that, which is why he's my favorite Xiaoge.) I'm just eternally sad about the ending and that there probably won't be a S2 for the main story finale because NPSS won't sell the rights again.

2. The Lost Tomb 2 (2019)

Before UN came out, this was my favorite Iron Triangle. The Pangzi and Xiaoge friendship was also super cute here! A sorely underrated friendship, for sure. And I absolutely adore TLT2 Xiao Hua. He and UN Xiuxiu would make a great team. The entirety of the first half (undersea tomb) was remarkably true to the source material (despite being unnecessarily draggy at points), and I do like that they made the Bronze Tree arc more of an Iron Triangle thing than a Wu Xie solo mission like in the novel. But uh, the second half of this drama was just...really confusing lol with so many long shots of them trudging through snow endlessly. But it's a cute Pingxie and Iron Triangle. (Saw someone once say TLT2 is the fluffy Pingxie but UN is the angsty Pingxie, which......accurate tbh.) But...man...will TLT2.5 (Heavenly Palace) ever be released from jail ;;;;;; its supposedly already filmed (different cast) but can't air for...legal reasons? idk? ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

3. Time Raiders (2016)

A wacky movie that makes no logical sense whatsoever but God it was such a fun, wild watch lmao. Pingxie were so unnecessarily gay in this, and also TLT2 Pangzi is great as always. I liked A-Ning being a total badass as well. Movie gets a bit sad when you realize there's a deleted scene canonizing the movie as book!Wu Xie's wishful thinking and fanciful story he told because he misses his friends. In reality, Pan Zi and A-Ning are dead, his San-shu is missing, and he doesn't know if he'll see Xiaoge again (which is why TR!WX is always taking photos of him, I'd say).

4. Qinling Sacred Tree Donghua (2021)

So uh this still doesn't have official English subs (you can find it on a streaming site somewhere but I can't vouch for translation quality). But it's a pretty faithful adaptation of the Bronze Tree arc, but with a slight twist to make Xiaoge more relevant. (I'm still squinting at Liang-shiye.) Still largely a Wu Xie and Lao Yang duo mission, though. But the scenery in the donghua is gorgeous and the food looks really good too...and, like, it's a good and solid adaptation. I just wish it had been an Iron Triangle adventure 😅

5. Sha Hai (2018)

Qin Hao is an amazing Sha Hai Wu Xie. I love him, and the fact that ZSX posted a photo with him ;;;;;;;; my favorite Wu Xies ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (fun fact: to this day, QH's Weibo pfp is of himself as Wu Xie!) But anyway. Yeah I mostly just love Wu Xie here and everything he's gone through and turned himself into now that Xiaoge is gone. There are several UN parallels because they were done by the same company (which is also why a lot of the actors are the same). Unfortunately, the whole plot was....??????? and I wasn't a fan of any of the romances, or any of the side characters in general 😅 Skipped...so much of it lol. Why did they do *gestures vaguely at the entire show* Man at least they had Three Days of Silence. Small mercies.

6. The Lost Tomb 1 (2015)

They did Pangzi so dirty, I'm sorry sweetheart. That aside, the OCs were also a big ?????? and the fact that they had the iconic Iron Triangle hotel fight so early...WITHOUT THE FULL IRON TRIANGLE????????? But TLT1 Pingxie were literally a case of love at first sight soulmates so that was sweet. Also the blood feeding. Nice 👌 This Xiaoge is probably what most of the tomb-robbing world (or very casual dmbj fans ig lmao) see when they think of Zhang Qiling: aloof, mysterious, terrifyingly strong, (and kinda 2000s emo-boy-looking for some reason???)

7. The Lost Tomb Reboot (2020)

Confusingly wild deviations from the original story, really cringy romances + fridged women, and unnecessarily dragged out plot aside, I just wasn't feeling the Iron Triangle in this one 😅 Nor was I a fan of the treatment of Xiaoge. (He was stolen from his mother as a baby and abused by the Zhang family ever since, used as a convenient bloodbag to get around tombs and he didn't even understand he was a human being with a heart who could want things until he met his mother again in Three Days of Silence, where he finally regained the "heart" given to him by his mother that the Zhang family had taken from him...and then the first thing he experienced was the loss of his mother. I think this was the only canonical instance of him crying. After that, he lived a life full of mostly loss and more trauma, being kidnapped, kept naked in a basket, and used as zombie bait when he lost his memories...and knowing all this about his past, Pangzi tells him to use his blood in a tomb, enthusiastically, without hesitation. Like...you don't tell your best friend to cut himself because you think his blood might be useful. Especially not your best friend who you know in his past has been abused just like that since birth by his blood-related "family".) I do, however, think all the actors did amazing jobs with what they were given and are very talented. The effects were also good and the music is fantastic too. I don't think I need to praise Z1L's acting because everyone knows how good he is, and he pulled off that hallucination scene where he saw Xiaoge die for him just beautifully 👌 And Xiaoge smiles! Also very cute.

So yeah that's all the adaptations I've seen! It's past 1:30am so I'm a bit rambly but 🤪🤪🤪

#shouting into the void #dmbj #give me a chance to talk abt dmbj and it WILL end with me being sad about xiaoge #i write fic for the sole purpose of being sad abt xiaoge #which is why all my current whopping total of two (2) dmbj fics are me being sad about xiaoge #long post

[eirenical]

Just finished TLT2 and I have a couple of thoughts:

If I had watched this back when it was released and had not read the books I would have fucking RIOTED when they didn't release the next season for 2 years. Thank goodness I have read the books AND I don't have to wait. XD

I'm already deep in the sads about losing Hou Minghao and Cheng Yi as Wu Xie and Xiaoge. I did not at ALL expect to get as attached to them as I did, but here we are.

...may have to go watch some more Psych Hunter and Love and Redemption to ease the ache.

At least I still have Liu Xueyi as Xiao Hua?

...I may die more than a little when I lose him after TLT2.5, though. TT^TT He is the closest Xiao Hua to novel!Xiao Hua I've seen so far. And he's sitting on par with TLTR's Wu Erbai for my second tier favorite character. I WILL MISS HIM. TT^TT

Now do I want to try some TLT2.5... or give up for the night and watch some Psych Hunter?

...Psych Hunter. Definitely Psych Hunter. 😭
