okay
rewatching tgcf donghua s1
(as you should be doing too) in honor of the entire thing being available for free on youtube this week: a thread



have i mentioned that the opening brought me to actual tears every single time i watched it? well that doesn't go away on the rewatch god bless 






I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT???? THE PICTURES/GRAPHICS ARE DAMN GORGEOUSSS, xuan ji? the heavenly court?? ban yue?? hualian???? ART. AND THE MUSICCCC, WOW WHAT A BOP. it's probably my favorite opening of all time BY FAR
the amount of times i've blasted the opening song full volume on my car>>>>>>>>
that one first scene of xie lian's ascension is one of my faves, of all the season. i remember we got a teaser of it before s1 dropped and we were all so excited,,,,,
it's the way mq backs away as if he had been slapped when dianxia asked his name for me
(imma stop posting pictures bc i'm not watching in a good quality lol)

okay but was this hc's way of saying "i've finally found you" or was this hc's way of saying "i've finally found you"? 






talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique
i remember very clearly that in this exact part xie lian is thinking something along the lines of "imma tie him and THEN I'll ask questions" and tbh? you go honey you do you you're doing great baby
we all laugh about xie lian picking up kids as he goes through life but we tend to forget that he lost the first girl he met in the *actual* timeline just bc she tried to help him
"nan yang and xuan zhen, for sending me the two junior officials, thank you." ACTUAL TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE
no but do y'all remember how the fandom as a whole collapsed when he first heard san lang's voice 


and when he ended up saying more than one line on the ep,,,,,, wow




ADDING TO THIS THREAD TO SAY THAT THAT ONE YINIAN FLASHBACK SCENE WITH ONE FLOWER ONE SWORD IN THE BG IS A MASTERPIECE. MOVING ONNN
