Guardian fandom friending meme!!!

[china_shop]

Our lovely fandom continues to grow beyond our wildest expectations! Comm membership has just hit 100 98 (and we got impatient)! *shameless champagne and ballooooons*

A few small notes and reminders:

1. The Welcome/Intro post and the Fannish Resources post are still alive and kicking. Feel free to drop in at any time and say hi, or give us all your resource links (even the ones that might seem really obvious)!


2. Lurking is also totally fine, of course! *waves to lurkers*


3. Please tag your posts to the comm so other users can easily find what they’re looking for. In particular, it would be great if you could use the canon: drama and/or canon: novel tags, since it’s not always obvious to us mods which should apply, including for fanart or vids that use drama visuals but draw on novel elements. This is our current list of tags, and we’ll add more type tags as the need arises.


4. You can find the full (updated) comm rules on the profile page.


5. Feel free to promote sid_guardian on your journal or elsewhere. (Here's a graphic and text.)

And now, without further ado...

Since some of us are new to Dreamwidth, and some of us are new to Guardian, it seems like a good time for a Dreamwidth friending meme. Come and meet new people! (Re)Populate your DW circle!

To participate, just copy the text below, paste it into a new comment and tell us about yourself. (All information is optional.) Then read through other people's comments and say hi / follow them as desired.

Yunlan is EXCELLENT with people - it's ridiculous, really, and much of it is because he genuinely cares and truly wants to help. He could easily be a teacher or social worker, and would also do excellently well at any other job that involved helping and guiding people. Plus he's also a natural leader, and a brilliant strategist.

he's such an underrated actor

I agree with you! He has a very different acting style than Zhu Yilong, but he is also extremely good. It just slays me that this drama got so lucky with both of its leads.

!!! yes! I'm so happy when people lean into Yunlan's empathy and Goodness in fic, too. I have a lot of feelings about how Deeply he wants to help Dixingren, despite the actions of his predecessors, his dad. The way he nearly cried when Professor Zhang was about to die, how much he petitions for leniency for Dixingren who were trapped in shitty circumstances... I love this beautiful mixture of sharp brain and soft heart, and I will randomly emote about it without prompting, most likely.

And yes! Bai Yu is a great actor and we were so lucky to get such amazing actors who Both decided that they could keep the heart of Yunlan and Shen Wei's relationship even with everything else...
