a further thread on my father watching cql with me (i’m really trying not to do this every time he says something funny but alas):

we are on episode 5. on lwj: “that guy does not look too thrilled.” every five minutes: “is this still 16 years ago?” as soon as we get to the library pavilion: “that wuxian guy has feelings for ji-xiong.” astute as ever, my guy.

on wen qing putting powder on jiang cheng’s injury: “ah, cocaine, the best cure.” we’re also about to become a 无聊 (boring)- quoting family, like we were with the 我知道’s in The Farewell, because he thinks lwj is THE PEAK of humor (minus himself of course)

he cannot help but BURST into laughter every time they say 小兔子 (rabbit, tùzi) because’s reminded of 小兔崽子 (tuzaizi) aka bastard/brat. he’s also certain that “the sister and rich guy slept together while at cloud recesses because they’re going to have a kid!”

UPDATE: he thinks meng yao is about to be murdered by xue yang because “that guy (xue yang) is a criminal”

my father is in STICHES about the translation implications for The Unclean Realm. ‘messy world’ ‘polluted place’ ‘dirty town’ ok sir calm down.

my brother walked in to the scene where the jiang disciples are all cheering wwx’s shot and goes “is this star wars because there’s a bunch of Tusken Raiders” and then walked out

my dad is SO PLEASED with himself that he “knows how Wen Ning died” after the scene where the wen guy gets turned into zombie in nightless city. oh buddy. oh pal.

episodes with the Xuanwu of Slaughter he keeps... doing voices for the turtle. “Well HELLo!!” “I’m MAD!” “oh i’m even MORE MAD!” “huh? what? hey!” “ouch!” “hey this is my house!” etc... sir please... murder turtle is not a dog...

realizing when i said ‘further’ i should have explained i had this thread but then he opened his mouth ahaha so here’s what prompted it, the Original: https://twitter.com/jiangququ/status/1240044558337130498?s=21 https://twitter.com/jiangququ/status/1240044558337130498
