"Hi! I'm finally catching up! *throws comments everywhere like confetti*"
Yayay, I'm loving all your comments (as I'm catching up myself now)! :D :D
"Tbh my eyes sort of glaze over whenever that stuff comes up. /o\"
That is so valid! :D (I actually do like it - it's aesthetically pleasing? :D But I feel like at least some of it is impossible to follow without more cultural context, so if I didn't particularly care for it I would just end up ignoring it too. *nodnod*)
"Would 100% hate, this is purely a spectator sport for me. *g*"
Hahah, yep, and it's kind of exactly like watching an actual sport - Do I like when someone is really damn good at what they do? Yeah. Would I want to be the opponent who has to find out just how good they are? Oh hell no. xD xD
"(Really, the contrast makes this - "sadistic urge to crush him" vs. "can't even bear to draw a harsh breath", OMG!!!)"
I was snarking at them at that point, lol, so I kinda missed the depth of this, but omg, it really does. ♡♡♡
"And GCC not being afraid of his threats, and calling him a good man, makes it easier for him to calm down."
Yesss, I really like the way this dynamic works! Like, have this character who is terrified of everything be suddenly NOT terrified of this one objectively terrifying person, and see what happens. :D
"And ZYL, no matter how furious he is at CSZ, is 100% determined to sort this out somehow. (I wonder if he has a proper plan before the Magistrate hands him the opportunity?)"
I think his plan may have been 'take the very first opportunity that arises'. :D He would probably end up making a better plan if it hadn't.
"ZYL is right about that, and I'm very curious what he's worried SW will do, but I don't have a clue. *g*"
I just assumed hurt/sacrifice himself in some way, but I can't come up with anything that would be specific to this situation either.
"And also that the Magistrate is clearly aware that the Emissary would be jealous of ZYL's lover, but also seems to be utterly incapable of even considering that that lover could possibly be the Emissary. Hee!"
Ikr, I'm so amused by this. xD Not only it's a topic that's somehow important enough to think about at all in the Netherworld, but also they completely fail at it. xD
"I want a guest bedroom! I want a suspended cat bed! Swing style!"
That's kind of a funny thing to change, it's not like it's very different, and not like it matters what exactly DQ wants to get. :P
"These words are like a bombing raid; explosions echo around Da Qing and its soul is bombarded with force even greater than thunder and lightning from the Nine Heavens."
Ahahah, omg, I love DQ being THIS dramatic about Weilan. xD xD xD
"No, when I say you're too late," Zhao Yunlan interrupts, "I don't mean this past half a year, I mean you're late by a few thousand years."
Okay, awwwwww?? ♡♡♡ (I saw this in the chapter summary, but I've never seen the actual quote.)
"The judge seems to be getting used to his torture. A breath is held in suspense; in a horror movie, if the sky is clear and bright, something menacing must be looming."
Lololol. :D I'm loving this entire extra way Zhao Yunlan came up with to torment the Magistrate. xD Thank you for sharing as always!
