Tasty flavours! ❤

I picked the white suit as most frightening, because he is so sure of himself in that scene. This is a man who holds all the cards and has nothing to fear.
Almost picked the Heipaoshi disguise, for similar reasons: He’s unstoppable, now commanding Heipaoshi’s political power on top of his own abilities.

For my favourite, I split it between the white suit and disguised as Professor Shen :D

Love the drought-stopper option, but I still believe it’s a fashion choice :P

LOL, I didn't even go there at first, but now that you say it *LICKS YE ZUN* ;D

"I picked the white suit as most frightening, because he is so sure of himself in that scene. This is a man who holds all the cards and has nothing to fear."

He really IS terrifying in this scene, and yet he's so unfairly hot while doing that that I manage to ignore this fact every single time. xD If I were a character I'd be toast, at least until he changes his hair, lol.

"For my favourite, I split it between the white suit and disguised as Professor Shen :D"

*high five* Same, and YAY ponytail supremacy. :D

:D :D *HIGH FIVE* The 'scary' part of my brain is all overtaken by the 'hot' part when he's like this, lolol.

Ponytail supremacy!!! And yes, 10/10, very lickable while he's being terrifying.

Yes! It's an amazing scene. Unfortunately (?) I'm way too :D :D :D over Ye Zun in that scene to find him frightening, even though I recognise that he objectively is. *g*

So many of his choices are about appearance (and look who he chose as his first lieutenants: Zhu Jiu and Ya Qing!). :D

One wonders whether part of Ye Zun's success in recruitment was due to the fact that he is, at the end of the day, très chic (even in his pillar!) and everyone else was wowed by his sense of style... :P

The Palace Guard's uniforms are somewhat snazzy and patterned off the Envoy's. Perhaps Zhu Jiu joined in part because of the snazzy dress?

Ye Zun: And your clothes allowance will be... Zhu Jiu: Count me in!
:D :D :D

"Ye Zun: And your clothes allowance will be... Zhu Jiu: Count me in!"

Lolol, CANON. :D

...Or maybe Ye Zun can make the clothes himself?? :D If he has the power to clean clothes, maybe he has another power to make them, and he makes sure his team is dressed to the nines at all times without any pesky money involved. :D :D

"I feel like Ya Qing always dressed the way she does."

Now I want to know if this is how all Crows dress, or if her style is as out there for Crows as the others' style is for Dixingren. :D (The young Crow girl didn't dress like that, so probably the latter. :D)

"maybe Zhu Jiu just mugged someone upon arriving in Haixing so he could buy a cool outfit (or mugged someone stylish and stole their outfit). :D"

Lolol. Money for hair dye too. :D :D
trobadora: (Ya Qing)

[personal profile] trobadora 2025-05-31 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
None of the Crow men we see dress like Ya Qing, but the only other female Crow we see is Dong Nan, and she's a child.

Hah, this is indeed what would work on the people he works with. :D

Oooh, that's an excellent point! They're all very stylish! In a better world, they'd still have something in common! Awww.

Lol AW, YES. :D I once read a cracky modern AU fic where Ye Zun, Sha Ya (also stylish af!), Ya Qing and Zhu Jiu had a groupchat, and now I just want them to have a friendship where they are all about outrageous fashion together! :D

Ha! He doesn't even really try. (I wonder if he'd be more popular if he were more stylish!)
