Thanks to trobadora for help compiling this. Sorry if you saw earlier iterations! I am ridiculous and reposted a couple of times with edits. :-)

My arms are a bit sore so I may be slow to reply to comments. Please talk among yourselves!

This is a glorious list, seriously - what a fantastic idea!

I was in the middle of voting when you decided to edit; happy to say my votes are staying the same. :D

I had to vote for the nosebleed scene because I love it so, but the others were really hard to choose from! Ultimately I'm going with the orange-cutting scene because it's such a lovely sweet interlude, and the SID burglary scene because of the way he falls unconscious right into Shen Wei's arms, and because of the way Da Qing wakes him by meowing at him. :D

[china_shop]

I was so amazed by the number of Hallows incidents (and that's not counting him nearly using them in episode 15)! You'd think he would have LEARNT!! :D :D :D

Sorry about the edits. /o\

Those are all excellent choices!! I'm going to predict now that the nosebleed scene will win. (I cheated and chose four; I simply couldn't narrow it down past that!)

[facethestrange]

"the SID burglary scene because of the way he falls unconscious right into Shen Wei's arms"

Damn, that's a VERY compelling argument. :D

[china_shop]

I'm going to predict now that the nosebleed scene will win.

Haha, nope! Shows what I know.

[ishipallthings]

Nosebleed scene you will always be famous (I love your icon :D) It's always fun when Shen Wei gets intense, and that's definitely one of the best examples of it.

[donutsweeper]

Having to only choose three is cruel. I do love how many of us picked the oranges and couch sleeping scene though :)

[china_shop]

I know! I ended up cheating (but allowed it because I know Zhu Hong's dream won't thought Zhu Hong's dream wouldn't get many votes, and I wanted to show that one some love ;-p).

The oranges and couch sleeping scene is gorgeous! <333

[facethestrange]

This is such a close 4th place for me that if I did a cheat vote it would definitely be for this one. :D

[trobadora]

Yes! I love that it's so popular! :D

[facethestrange]

THIS POLL, YAY, I was looking forward to it. :D :D

It was surprisingly easy - always everything from episode 8, always every instance of sleeping on Shen Wei, which neatly makes it the first three. :D :D

But I'm also right there with the majority re: the oranges scene. ♡♡♡ And also Shen Wei calling him (smart but) stupid, that one too. :D (Oh, and I would probably have voted for the losing sight scene instead of the napping scene, but the hand-holding is when he's already awake, so this part of the scene doesn't really count here. :D)

And now I'm curious - are there any instances of "other"? I kinda hope not, this is already enough, POOR ZHAO YUNLAN. xD

[china_shop]

YAY! :D :D :D

Hee! So convenient to have criteria. I just have a mess of feels, which is much less helpful when ranking! ;-D

(Oh, and I would probably have voted for the losing sight scene instead of the napping scene, but the hand-holding is when he's already awake, so this part of the scene doesn't really count here. :D)

Eh, I'm totally counting it. And also, he says, "Shen Wei," before he's even barely conscious. :D :D :D

And now I'm curious - are there any instances of "other"? I kinda hope not, this is already enough, POOR ZHAO YUNLAN. xD

LOL! There's at least one more of him waking in bed in the morning (from normal sleep), and there's him waking up before the kitchen scene (but I thought that one might skew the results ;-p).

[trobadora]

Hee!

Potential "other": he's asleep just prior to the kitchen scene! I always remember that because of the way he asks if Shen Wei got hungry in the middle of the night. *g*

[autodach]

The orange scene was a no-brainer. I also picked napping in the car because of the adorable and bold pillow.
And apparently I'm so far the only one to vote for Kong Jing. I guess it's the bondage kink talking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Next time I watch, I'll make a Hallows Fondling Counter for Zhao Yunlan.

[trobadora]

I like the Kong Jing kidnapping a lot, but most of it is more unconsciousness-adjacent than actually unconsciousness-related, so I disqualified it for myself - I had to narrow it down somehow! *g*

Next time I watch, I'll make a Hallows Fondling Counter for Zhao Yunlan.

Hee! :D :D :D

[facethestrange]

"I also picked napping in the car because of the adorable and bold pillow."

Ikr?? ♡♡♡ He just plonks down so comfortably. :D ♡

[china_shop]

Aww, it's so sweet! :D (And now I'm wondering who brought the pillow? Is it ZYL's travel pillow, or did he appropriate it from someone else? Hee!)

And apparently I'm so far the only one to vote for Kong Jing. I guess it's the bondage kink talking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hee! *hearts*

Next time I watch, I'll make a Hallows Fondling Counter for Zhao Yunlan.

Oh awesome! If you do, you should definitely post it. :D

[sakana17]

Choosing only three was tough!! I truly could vote for all of them. They're all good in their own ways. Aww, the Ding Dun scene has no votes, and I love that one. *tempted to change my votes* *stays firm* *otherwise will keep changing votes because they're all good*

[facethestrange]

Aww, your icon!! So relevant, so lovely. :D ♡♡♡

[china_shop]

Agreed -- it's a smorgasbord of excellence, so hard to choose! (And this isn't even counting the random visions -- poor ZYL!) :D :D :D

[trobadora]

Yes! So many good scenes to choose from! It's so fun to see what everyone else is picking.

Also, your icon! EXCELLENT! :D

[ishipallthings]

I love all of them but I had to go with falling asleep on the couch in episode 26, I am just so very soft for that moment!! <3

[donutsweeper]

That's why I chose it, there's some wonderful angst and h/c in the others, but the couch one is just delightfully soft and sweet.

[facethestrange]

I love by how much it's winning (currently exactly twice as many votes as the second place!), and I didn't even vote for it. :D ♡♡♡

[rogueslayer452]

I love how the oranges scene is what is getting the most votes, which is understandable since I, too, chose that option. It's such a tender scene, from Shen Wei seeing him asleep on the couch to covering him with his jacket and then just sitting on the table across from him, staring at him fondly while holding the necklace. It's an intimately comfortable little moment. :)

I also picked the moment when Zhao Yunlan is curled in bed and wakes up to Shen Wei and porridge, it's both funny with his reaction but also just the kind of care-giving of Shen Wei throughout that whole scene. Also the scene when he goes unconscious from touching the dial and Shen Wei is there, by his bedside, calling him stupid. It's on the same level as the iconic nosebleed scene for me, just how exasperated he is with the man but also loves him so dearly that he just cannot help but care for him despite it all. Plus, it's the fact that he just tucks Zhao Yunlan in further that makes it for me, too.

[facethestrange]

I didn't even vote for the oranges scene and I'm still excited that it's getting so many votes, hee. :D THE SOFTNESS OF IT. ♡♡♡

He's soooo gently exasperated in this one too. *MELTS* And the tucking in, yes! ♡♡♡ (And the fact that he puts Zhao Yunlan's hand so close that he's nearly sitting on it. :D)

Your icon is gorgeous btw! ♡

[china_shop]

My choices:

1. gastritis attack, curled up in bed; wakes up to porridge a la Shen Wei (ep 8)
I love that it's mundane, he brought it on himself by not eating, he's suffering from embarrassment about as much as he is physically (re the book scam, the state of his flat, Shen Wei's reaction to it all). I love what a disaster he is. I love that he just curls into a foetal position and rolls away. I love Shen Wei undressing him and tucking him in!! I love that he sleeps right through the message from the Regent AND some heavy-duty housework. And I love everything about him waking up, being startled by Shen Wei's presence, and going immediately into recruitment/testing/flirting mode. :D

2. gropes Awl to find zero-degree lab hostages; collapses in SID lab (nosebleed scene) (ep 19)
I love that he wrestles with the decision and does it anyway to protect his team! I love that the Awl actually activates before he touches it, tempting him. And the scene afterwards, with ZYL trying all the tools in his toolbox: be glib/shrug it off! puppy eyes! grumbling about how useless the Hallows are! and more -- a whole rainbow of reactions, but they're all just manipulative, trying to defuse SW's anger, so of course they don't work. Also this meta comment by dorinda (and everything about the post it's on, by sakana17, asdfasdfadaf, and the discussion there).

3. uses Dial in standoff with Ye Zun; collapses in the park and loses his sight (ep 20)
Because he's so brave and determined, and he knows he's outmatched, but he just has to hang on until Shen Wei comes. He trusts that Shen Wei will come. And then he wakes and says Shen Wei's name, and they hold hands and laugh together, and the blindness arc starts, which I love SO MUCH.

Cheaty bonus one:
4. deliberately enters Zhu Hong's dark-energy dream (ep 31)
Because he's worried and he does the only thing he can, even though it's risky and he really shouldn't leave the SID leaderless right now. And because it's the route to his resolving his relationship with her so they can been real friends and colleagues, and for that to happen, he has to accept how important he is to the people around him. <3 <3 <3

[trobadora]

Excellent reasoning on all counts! :D

Also this meta comment by dorinda

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that is so good, I love it so. *tries not to spend the next several hours rereading old discussions*
