Yay, I read it now. :D :D (My answer re: my favorite Weilan moment definitely stays the same - HAIR! ♡♡♡)
:D :D :D :D :D
I love how the actual answer to this rhetorical question is 'he did, many times, and he zapped the problem to smithereens with his stick at least twice'. :D
LOL! So true. Someone should tell his uncle and aunt about the fear stick (though I suspect they're not allow, especially given what it's made of).
Like, he found his place in the world, but he's always suspected that it's not really his place and he doesn't deserve it, and now he's being proven right? OUCH.
Ouch indeed. (But at least he fights for it?!)
!!! ♡ I just adore the whole part where he just gushes about how much he loves every single person at the SID. It's so precious and he's so happy to have found them. ♡♡♡ And I'm just like 'aw, sweetheart, you DO belong there, never doubt it'!!
Yes! And I love how much of that comes through in the drama, too. <3 <3 <3
This is so funny to me. xD Like, Zhao Yunlan being in danger is the only possible situation when Shen Wei could ever forget to be flustered about his bare chest. xD (And even that doesn't always work - see: shower. xD) But what makes it the funniest is that Zhao Yunlan IS actively trying to be seductive here. :D
Haha, I know, it's hilarious. :D :D :D
I just really, really love that THIS of all things is where he starts doubting what he saw. He would never, ever hurt someone he promised to protect, that's the bare minimum, that's the core of who he is. ♡
YES! I love how stubborn he is about that, too. (And even putting himself in danger at the end of vol 2 in exchange for getting CSZ out of his chains, which wasn't a new or physical danger exactly, but he still would not abide it. <3 <3 <3)
Aw. AW. Just the fact that this was Shen Wei's first time seeing the outside world, and how much he loved it, it's so wistful and lovely.
You're so right, it's really gorgeous.
Now I suddenly saw this line not as 'I'm a freak hybrid who doesn't belong anywhere' but as 'there's no place for the gui and you gave me one'! Because it says "between the earth and the sky". And the place for him was below the earth.
Yes! (And below even the Netherworld, right?)
but also it IS absurd, on the grounds that this is not what happened. :P
That's right, isn't it, that it didn't happen? (ZYL's question made me question. ;-p)
Wow, kudos to the king for figuring this out.
So much! (I wonder how old the king is, and if he remembers original flavour ZYL.)
but another question is - what? xD How exactly? Some specific way to sacrifice his body? Because he's died countless times and that didn't break him out out the reincarnation cycle. Or maybe if he dies now, after he's mostly-awaken, he will automatically leave the cycle?
Ohh, that's a great question! I have no idea!
So I basically read this one as 'my father was not enough of an asshole for a second there, something is wrong'. xD
Ha, oh no! You're right! /o\

Okay, idk what he actually started to say though? That he almost threw himself at Zhao Yunlan's past reincarnations? xD*
I wondered if he was going to swear, and that's why it was unfit for polite company, rather that it being about anything he might do, maybe? Like, maybe he was rating for language?
Literally even before he met Kunlun he was already trying to hide it. So maybe he also tries this hard to hide it from Zhao Yunlan (but I feel like it's not even always the case?), but he doesn't get to relax when he's around other people either. Is it simply just unreliable narrator, and it feels harder to hide it from ZYL because it would feel worse to potentially reveal something around him than around other people?
Oh, or maybe it's that ZYL makes him want to let his guard down, so he's more conscious of having to hold back? It becomes a deliberate action he's forcing on himself, rather than a natural default?
In a book with all the supernatural stuff, this is the most unrealistic detail to me. xD
LOL! But yeah.
His entire VIBE, 'idgaf, I'm not involved', it's amazing.
But he's still there, and would act in a flash if anything happened to ZYL. :D OMG, he's the muscle!!
no subject
