Poll: Sprawling Zhao Yunlan (dramaverse)

[china_shop]

Zhao Yunlan's turn. He's perfectly encapsulated by "never stands if he can sit, never sits if he can lie down"[1] -- but what is his best moment of outrageous sprawling or lying around?

Okay no, this poll is cruel. How are we supposed to choose? HOW?!?!

[china_shop]

I know! I'm sorry. I made the poll in all innocence, and now I'm having terrible trouble answering it, lol. :D

[facethestrange]

It's multiple choice, so I just didn't choose, shhhhh. :D :D

The Hanga car is the closest option to The Taxi Ride.

[china_shop]

There's always "other", if you want to make a write-in vote. :D

ETA: It didn't occur to me to include the taxi ride in the poll, because he was unconscious at the time. But that's no real reason to exclude it. Sorry!

[facethestrange]

Also this one, yes! ♡♡♡ *needs a lot more sprawling on Shen Wei, not just on inanimate objects* *is suddenly getting all the new ideas* :D :D

[trobadora]

*is suddenly getting all the new ideas*

Yay!!! :D

[china_shop]

Belatedly, I'm opting (under "other") for this piece of wonderful ridiculousness:





(Apologies for the poor framing. The original is prettier, but the wide shots are very wide and I wanted to show his sprawl off without making the image size enormous.)

[trobadora]

I voted for the bike (the lines of his body!!!!) but for the same reason, this one is excellent!!

[china_shop]

Yes exactly! (I actually voted for the bike and this. /shameless)

[facethestrange]

There's really something about the leaning back pose. *looks respectfully* The bike gif was my tumblr header for a while, I only changed it a few days ago. :D

[donutsweeper]

ooh I was about to choose the bike for the added extra of the lollipop but that pic and the sprawl and the barefootedness...

[sakana17]

Oh, THAT one is my favorite! I should've voted "other." XD But on the other hand, there are no wrong answers here! ♥___♥

[facethestrange]

How is this one of the hottest things, like, EVER. IDEK. ♡♡♡

And the extra seat that is there just to hold his foot at exactly the right height for optimal levels of hot. :D And really really thirsty Shen Wei's pose as a contrast! A++++, all of this. :D

[maggie33]

I was hoping someone would post a pic of that scene, because yes, that one is my favorite "Zhao Yunlan sprawling" moment. Thanks. :DDD

[marycrawford]

Ah I so love this moment. The bare feets! The pose! Also: I feel like the bare feet are the equivalent of Shen Wei sans glasses, which we also get in this scene.

A barely coded marker for INTIMACY. and domestic hotness. 💕

[trepkos]

Wow, that is such a weird position!

[mekare]

One of the classics!

[facethestrange]

Oh what a GLORIOUS poll, I literally voted for everything, I'm not even attempting to make an attempt here. :D :D

Special mentions for "other" in addition to just everything ever - definitely the barefoot scene (for the hot) and also this one (because it's so wonderfully incongruous that I was screencapping it as I watched for the first time :D).

[china_shop]

Oh what a GLORIOUS poll, I literally voted for everything, I'm not even attempting to make an attempt here. :D :D

Hee! *hearts you so much*

And ahhhh, fantastic "other"! Thank you so much for the visual aid!! :DDD

[trobadora]

This one is amazing. Minister Guo is right there!!!

[marycrawford]

these are all great options, obviously I cannot choose 🤣 but I submit two more:

- the moment during...I forget which investigation?...where he sits down in the bathroom ON THE CLOSED TOILET SEAT. I mean, not his own bathroom. Some random stranger or possibly murder victim's bathroom. Really, Zhao Yunlan?
- the moment during my beloved episode 8, after he wakes up and is startled to find Shen Wei still sitting by his bedside. First he faces Shen Wei with his legs splayed open and then he does some outright hip thrusts while lying on the bed 'rearranging his pillows' knowing Shen Wei's gaze is on him. The man has no shame and I love him.

[facethestrange]

"The man has no shame and I love him."

Yepppp, ITA. ♡♡♡ I just went and rewatched this scene, as one does, and I absolutely love that he randomly lies back down after he was already sitting up for a while, like 'you know what? it wasn't suggestive enough the first time around, I need to do it again'. :D

[trobadora]

Oh, these are both great! I think the toilet one is during the mirror girl case. He'll sit or lie down anywhere!

(Hm. Would he lie down in an empty bathtub? I wouldn't put it beyond him!)

The man has no shame and I love him.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS. ♥ ♥ ♥

[china_shop]

Oh yes! Both of those, especially episode 8 -- I only didn't include that in the poll because I'm not sure it counts as casual lounging so much as Passive Seduction With Intent. It is fantastic! :DDDD
