Last lollipop?

[clevermanka]

Hey, all--does anyone know, off the top of your head, is the lollipop Zhao Yunlan pops into bb!Shen Wei's mouth the last lollipop we see him with in the show? I don't have the emotional stamina time to skim the last four episodes to check right now (although I apparently have the sadomasochism necessary to incorporate it as a plot point...).

Yes. (I have had Intense Feels about this.)

[clevermanka]

Thanks. <3

[naye]

Yeah, I had a bit of a meltdown when I realized that Shen Wei's first lollipop is Zhao Yunlan's last one and... just... nklfllsjdjsdl HELP

[clevermanka]

Yeah and now I'm having one right now, so...

I LITERALLY ASKED FOR IT THO

[naye]

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS *clings*

[clevermanka]

There's a reason I have an "i am an emotional sado-masochist" tag on Tumblr.

[naye]

...that is a very good tag. I mean. Not that I would know anything about that!!

Shen Wei's first lollipop is Zhao Yunlan's last one and... just... nklfllsjdjsdl HELP

...show, this is NOT FAIR.

[demitas]

Oh NO I didn't need these emotions?

[yantantether]

OH GOD

[naye]

RIGHT?! I still remember when that clicked for me - Zhao Yunlan's last one is Shen Wei's first and the show is just evil to do that to us ;_;

stop it :'(

[xparrot]

This is still the best/worst thing...

(Obviously Zhao Yunlan has many more lollipops when they're finished saving Dixing and EVERYTHING IS FINE...! But the circle is so agggggggh)

...The real question is that now that Zhao Yunlan knows Shen Wei likes lollipops, does he start to share...

[extrapenguin]

I guess he got over his lollipop habit/addiction due to being stuck in the past for so long? (About a month at least, based on the winemaking to fuel the Yashou twig's wine habit.)

OMG. I never realized. That is somehow beautiful and poetic while also just being downright mean.

[forestofglory]

I didn't realize that! Pardon me while I have some feels.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.

[clevermanka]

[ratbones]

Oh. I hadn't put this together either. It's a brilliant detail, but. You can add me to your kill count. ;-;

[clevermanka]

[firestar]

...why. Why would you mention this. DDDDDDDDDDDD:

[chaosmanor]

*sob*

[ranalore]

...Oh. That ain't right.

You know, when I did see this, the second thing I'd think was "OMG! I HATE green SO MUCH! They closed the circle and now... They are going to die! TT^TT"

(I always knew, by the presentation, that they were going to die, but that they would confirm it to me... TT___TT)

*Tsubame is going to cry a river again*

I can't believe I almost missed such an important post!! Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and for adding another point to my already-long list about why the show's ending makes Guardian the best tragic romance I've ever seen, and why I don't ever want it to be undone. (Though post-canon fix-its are still very much welcome!)

[clevermanka]

You're welcome, bb, and Hard Same! It's such a good tragedy and even though I will eat up any and all fix-it fic and alternate endings, the canon really did give us a beautifully-constructed, actual tragedy and that's a rare thing to find in today's media.

Such an awesome observation, thank you, thank you! My fan heart loves the use of these physical objects as visual "first & last" tie-ins.
