"how about this? if you really wish to pay me back, you better not challenge me to a fight again." "i don't need you to teach me how to repay you." (so i will live on for you)
dihua + debts | 莲花楼 mysterious lotus casebook
on fandom and writing.
so that meme about showing how many fandoms you've written for is going around bsky and i assume twitter and here's mine:
the way i put it on bsky is that my purview is narrow and my start up cost is high. two of those (yowapeda and all out) are only in there as part of multi-fandom drabble dumps from the bygone saso days; chyf and oofuri i did at least write short (<1K) pieces for chocolate box. the last three are the main fandoms i've produced for in the last decade or so. daiya for about three years 2014-2018, bad buddy from late 2022-mid 2023 or so, and now mlc from april 2024 on.
MLC trio fight training
I was thinking about what Cheng Yi said about fight scenes and character fighting styles being a way to express a character's state of mind and further/express character development so I thought it'd be interesting to take a look at the fight training that Cheng Yi, Xiao Shunyao, and Zeng Shunxi had to go through for Mysterious Lotus Casebook.
Couldn't find a longer clip for Cheng Yi unfortunately – what I found was shared by He Gang (Shan Gudao's actor)... although it's interesting that they apparently trained together, I guess since they're supposed to be shixiong and shidi?
Of course Shunyao and Shunxi are using different weapons (sabre vs sword) so their moves are different but you can see the strength needed for Shunyao's downwards chops and sideways slashes, and of course Shunxi has more fancy twirls XD.
I wanted to make a backstory for the time I found this in pokemon Violet XD
dihua kiss for:
24 …in danger.
fic meme fill that kind of went off in a weird direction. hopefully it still sort of hits the prompt!

the sun is high and blinding, radiating bleached bone heat without a single cloud in sight. di feisheng shields his eyes, squinting out of the meager shadow of their shelter, the waves of heat rising from the sand obscuring his vision. li lianhua is curled as far back in the lean-to as he can get, breathing shallow and fast, like he's been running for miles. the last waterskin is half full beside him; di feisheng's been feeding him little sips every couple hours. it won't last too much longer.

Killer and Healer Eng Subs all episodes uncut + Happy Ending
Hello everyone. I saw this C-Drama and became totally obsessed with it. You can watch it completely on YT but sadly the sound is missing partly and there are also deleted scenes missing. (For my own sake) I wanted to make a version which is easy to watch and included everything - of course the happy ending, too.
mlc favorite character/ship poll takeaways
so this poll ended recently, and i thought it would be interesting to do a little number crunching. image of the poll results and also a graphic of some ao3 ship tag stats under the cut.
general disclaimer that this is just for fun and i'm not an academic, etc.

li lianhua was getting prepared for mysterious lotus casebook concert. just cheng yi thing, covering half of his face with the script while peeking sideways at the camera. also striking a cheeky pose with folded hands and tilting his body for the camera.
Cheng Yi as Li Lianhua and Li Xiangyi in Mysterious Lotus Casebook // 莲花楼 (2023)
[ID: gifs of the characters Li Lianhua and Li Xiangyi from the series "Mysterious Lotus Casebook." They show, in order: Li Lianhua smirking after getting thrown across a table, him wearing a mask saying "It's true, I never lie," a disheveled Li Xiangyi looking at Wu Liao tiredly, Li Lianhua taking a bite of watermelon serenely, turning his head solemnly, looking darkly at Jiao Liqiao, pointing pettily at Di Feisheng while he's meditating, looking mierably after a retreating Di Feisheng after he promises to kill Fang Duobing, saying to Qiao Wanmian "I'm tired. I just want to be free," and smiling gently at Di Feisheng after he loses his memory. /end ID]
