Meta: Just a brief update on the piggybacking question

[china_shop]

I had an epiphany about the "transporting corpses by piggybacking" question, and since it's too late to add it to yesterday's poll, I wrote about it here. (Short answer: it all makes perfect sense! If you ignore smartphones!)

Zhao Yunlan in Episode 3

Having just re-watched Episode 3, I can't figure out what's up with Zhao Yunlan.

( cut for spoilers I guess )

Guardian Merch

Remembering to crosspost things!

There's a surprising amount of really cool (and frequently adorable) Guardian merchandise on ebay.

Collected pile of links including Shen Wei's necklace, actor plushies, keychains, even blankets here on my journal.

Not sure how to tag this, sorry!

Childhood flashback character ages

[rheasilvia]

A quick question for people who know about kids!

About how old is Zhao Yunlan when we see him as a kid?

I would say the various instances he appears in flashbacks all fall into a span of time that's about a year long (ideally, I would like to place the hospital scene with Zhao Xinci even later, but I doubt that's plausible). Given the rate at which children grow up, does this seem vaguely believable to you or would you say it has to be shorter for him to look more or less the same all the way through?

And while I'm asking: How old are Shen Wei and Ye Zun in their childhood flashback?
