moonyeyedwalrusI meant to get in the habit of posting my updates in here, but I think I've got some kind of ick coming on (please not flu, please not flu!) and things have been so BUSY my brain is not at its sharpest. (Just the state I like to be in while doing final chapter edits!)
Anyway, lacking flourish, but:
archiveofourown.org/works/22256947/chapters/53621782#workskin
I'm super excited for some of the plot and character stuff coming up! It feels so nice to have a project again, like life is back in balance.

In other news, I started watching Guardian because I keep seeing Untamed fans talking about it and figured hey, I like liking stuff. Plus I read a description of it and ummmm, this is EXACTLY in my wheelhouse. So far I'm six episodes in and I'm not sure I know anyone's name yet (Chief Oral Fixation is...Zhao? Yunlan? Did I make that up? And Professor Secret God is...Shen? Wei? Maybe? I'd look it up but I don't want spoilers. There's definitely someone named Jing Lin ("definitely"--a bold claim), which makes me laugh and think of Jin Ling every time).
But it's really fun so far! One of the guy's a cat, but only sometimes. Some of the "monster of the week" plots have been stronger than others, and some of the effects are hilarious, but I'm really loving the characters and their interactions. I love a workplace found-family kind of thing. I still don't know what's up with the two main guys--it seems like Professor Secret Black Robes knows who Chief I-Want-His-Wardrobe is, but the Chief doesn't recognize him? Except in the very first scene it seemed like he did? But maybe he just has a feeeeeling. I don't know if we're dealing with all immortals or if the Chief's been reincarnated or something but I'm intrigued! And the secret identity dynamic is fun, and their interactions have a pleasant tension and I'm excited to see more of them, and also more of the other members of SID. The scenes between Scarf Guy and Young Trips-a-lot have been endearing. I suspect Scarf Guy is softer than he appears. And I'm hoping the ladies get more to do soon! And that I learn people's names so my reviews won't be so confusing.

All those names are right! Welcome to the land on Jin Ling Lin Jing confusion! Also "Chief Oral Fixation" is *chiefs kiss*

Date: 2020-01-30 02:36 am (UTC)I'll have to pay more attention to how they use food in the show! I'm enjoying it so much and I can't wait to dive into fic for it, but I'm also trying to savor my first watch instead of binging it in a week, haha. I can't believe I got their names right, I'm so proud xD. Now to learn the other non-Lingjinlinjing people! I may not remember the names yet, but I'm already invested in these relationships. I'll keep posting impressions as I watch more! :D
