Yay, I'm awake, I can Ye Zun properly. :D :D

Most terrifying: Disguised as the Envoy, hands down. But I'm also voting for the shadowy shape with glowy eyes, just to give him some points for really trying, lol, and also I feel like it would probably be the most terrifying irl because you'd have no idea what this thing could even DO.

Favorite: Ponytaillllll, as I said before. :D Gods, he's GORGEOUS. ♡♡♡ He can do whatever he likes and I'll just be *HEART EYES* ngl. But I read the comments first and I'm also adding impersonating regular Shen Wei because ~~~MY LITTLE YUNLAN, check out my new outfit it's just for you~~~ asdfgfdhsjkalskhfdjsk, just his absolute certainty that this is what Shen Wei says on the regular is A++++ wonderful. :D :D It may not be a Ye Zun thing per se, it may be a Weilan thing, but still. :D
(ETA: And now I thought of the deleted scene, okayyyy yes, this look definitely gets my vote Ye-Zun-wise too. :D)

Cloak: "he keeps up with the trends unlike *some* people", 100%, and I can totally see him literally saying that, whether it's actually true or not. :D :D

Great choices! It’s amazing how subtly wrong fake-Heipaoshi feels❤

Gods, he's GORGEOUS. ♡♡♡

He is!!!

just his absolute certainty that this is what Shen Wei says on the regular is A++++ wonderful

I just love that he knows what kind of relationship his brother has with Zhao Yunlan, but has no clue about the details/what it actually looks like in everyday life.

Haha, yes he would say that!

"It’s amazing how subtly wrong fake-Heipaoshi feels❤"

Yessss, and I think this is the look that really shows how unhinged Ye Zun's eyes are. All the masks do that in a way, but the mask + expecting Heipaoshi's calm and collected expression and instead getting this, it's just really chilling!

"I just love that he knows what kind of relationship his brother has with Zhao Yunlan, but has no clue about the details/what it actually looks like in everyday life."

IKR?? ♡♡♡ 'Gege is so in love, how do you talk when you're in love?' xD

Yes! He's unsettling impersonating Shen Wei in Haixing, too, but the contrast with the Envoy's usual presence and mannerisms is just - oof!

Seriously! It impresses me every time.

Yeah, it says so much about his view on Shen Wei, and how little he actually sees the reality of his brother, even when he has the facts (about Weilan's relationship) right.

*high fives*

Haha, yeah, I can't find him frightening in that scene because I'm just all :D :D :D for the entire duration, it's so dellightful. :D

just his absolute certainty that this is what Shen Wei says on the regular is A++++ wonderful

It totally counts as a Ye Zun thing, because it's so telling about his skewed perspective on Shen Wei, and how certain he is that his delusions are the truth.

ETA: And now I thought of the deleted scene, okayyyy yes, this look definitely gets my vote Ye-Zun-wise too. :D

Do you mean the one with Jiajia? That one is so creepy! I'm so glad it's not canon! (Jiajia Lives Forever!!!1!11!!!)

and I can totally see him literally saying that, whether it's actually true or not. :D :D

LOL!

That is a good point!

"Do you mean the one with Jiajia? That one is so creepy! I'm so glad it's not canon! (Jiajia Lives Forever!!!1!11!!!)"

I absolutely love that scene, but also YES, Jiajia is definitely alive and nothing bad has ever happened to her ever, lol, I contain multitudes. :D :D

"Mid-year timezones are the worst for me. I keep missing everyone."

What are mid-year timezones? :) (But ikr, why are we on the opposite sides of the planet, lol.)

"He seems very "drama kid" to me? NB: I have zero experience of drama kids, except in media."

Hee, I've heard people say that before, and I also only know about the concept of drama kids from media, so I can't tell, but lol good for him. :D :D

"The little open-mouthed gasp-laugh when ZYL shoves his gun into Ye Zun's ribs!! :D :D :D :D"

NOW I needed to rewatch. :D :D Big fan of the tongue, ngl. :D (And when I was scrolling to this scene, I literally got "wo de Xiao Yunlan" as the first line. :D :D)
