Everything is finally setup to start the first episode of #镇魂Guardian! I don’t know much of what to expect but from the looks of it it’s going to be awesome
The animation for the opening narration/exposition just looks so cool (the style almost reminds me of some of the official art for Guild Wars 2) and pausing it to read all the cool translation tidbits is really making me want to learn Mandarin again to properly appreciate them
Is he wearing belts around his arms to keep his sleeves from unrolling/falling down? Truly an iconic fashion statement
Looking closer they don’t seem to be keeping up his sleeves so I’m just going to presume he wears extra sleeve belts for the fun of it which honestly? Valid
This translation is killing me it’s just too hilarious
Any show with a cat is a good show in my heart
“Such a relationship is called Guarding. It’s even more passionate than love and greater than familial love.” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">
Zhao Yunlan gave him the name Wei? And then Shen Wei kept it? This is so incredibly gay I love it
I’ve thought about it more and decided that keeping the name Zhao Yunlan gave him is both gay rights and trans rights which is even more beautiful
An absolute gremlin of a man, 10/10 the best way to eat popcorn is clearly crouched on top of a table
I& #39;m loving these translation notes
Also Shen Wei giving Zhou Weiwei the whole speech about how humans and Dixing people can never work together? He deserves a hug so much
Zhao Yunlan appearing out of nowhere to save Shen Wei from muggers? 200/10, exquisite, incredible, pure perfection
*My dude*
I’ve given in and created an entire discord channel dedicated to the show just to save all of the screenshots I can of this scene because I already want to draw it
I have many feelings
As a small break from how much I love these two I can& #39;t believe that Zhao Yunlan lives like a uni student
Or at least, I can, but I can& #39;t even believe when real life uni students live like uni students (Shen Wei witnessing it in despair and cleaning everything up is such a mood)
*Detachable button sleeves?*
He is entirely correct
This speech and Shen Wei& #39;s reaction to Zhao Yunlan saying it? 10/10 beautiful and heartbreaking they both deserve hugs
As well as the art I’ve already got one plan/idea for a Guardian fic which is pretty impressive given I’m only just over a quarter of the way through
Ah yes what a subtle and believeable save
“If you were the trouble, I’d like that by the dozen, to trouble me for the rest of my life” Holy shit that’s a line
I’ve said it before but I love these two so much like just how are they so incredible?
How is episode 13 so good??? And Zhao Yunlan giving Shen Wei that wink at the end? The best
Oh hey I only just noticed but nope that Zhao Yunlan knows who he is, Shen Wei has stopped wearing his glasses around him in private!
Does nobody in Dixing question the fact that there’s a giant glowing obelisk chained in a ruined landscape that sometimes talks to people? Is it just a thing that exists and everyone’s just ‘ah yeah that’s the weird obelisk don’t question it’
There’s a pole in the library they can slide down to leave into the office??? Holy shit that’s cool
I have Many Art Ideas for this show already and I plan to do at least some of them before I forget them because I keep on getting to new scenes that I want to draw as well
I’m almost up to 60 screenshot reference images now and I refuse to stop
Techncially this isn& #39;t a liveblog for the show but I just wanted to complain about how annoyingly hard Zhao Yunlan& #39;s leather jacket is to draw
Incredible as it may be and no matter how much I love it (a lot), it still has too many zips and seams for me to do it justice on paper
Prisoner in the sky pillar? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">
Okay but how is that not common knowledge I still stand by my point that strange obelisks aren’t just normal landmarks you ignore
Or at least obelisks that speak to people
Non speaking obelisks I’d probably ignore
I love them both and I am going to draw the absolute shit out of this scene because it deserves to be immortalised on paper
Oh fuck yeah!
Okay I& #39;m officially dead this scene has killed me
Shen Wei being so scared for Zhao Yunlan? The only thing Zhao Yunlan could think to say when barely alive being Shen Wei? Their hands? Their hands??? I love them both I just can& #39;t even

Wait holy fuck he can& #39;t see???
This episode was such a rollercoaster and I love it
