Songs stuck in my head (2023 Q3)

（＾ω＾）the music we got for Spring/Summer 2023 audiodrama season has been amazing

相思续续入梦来/"Thoughts and memories entering my dreams" by 远皓ZIL

[三嫁咸鱼/Thrice Married to Salted Fish , Season 1]

The music and lyrics of this song perfectly balances the blend of humor and heart in this story. The verse starts off kind of cheeky, but the emotions mount as we build towards the chorus. That line about Lin Qingyu donning his wedding robes again -- a scene that made me weep while reading the novel -- is like a punch to the gut. Thankfully the song and the story ends on a happy note.

山月随舟/"The world that follows" by 大C

[残疾战神嫁我为妾后/After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine]

This is supposed to be about a maimed war hero biding his time to take revenge on the unscrupulous enemy prince he is forced to marry, but thankfully the real story is better represented by this sweet ballad. Despite the trials and chaos of the main characters' circumstances, they find a kindred spirit in each other and a promise to build a peaceful life together after the war is over.

真情错给/ "True love given in error" by 匀子, 漆柚

[泾渭无间/Clear and Muddy Loss of Love, Season 1]

This heartbreaking duet is attempting the impossible: to capture the emotional devastation of this epic novel in just a few minutes. "Love/ falls into a drop of tear, there is no one to blame, but me who has given my true love in error." A heartfelt love has crumbled into the cruelest betrayal, but instead of anger, there is just sadness, longing, and helplessness.

随月/"Follow the moon" by 海疼er

[游龙随月/You Long Sui Yue (both seasons) ]

I love this song so much that every time I hear it I instantly forgive the parts of the audiodrama that I enjoyed less. The lyrics tell a story of meeting and getting to know someone with whom you can share the rest of your journeys and your life. It sounds like a theme song for a wuxia drama, the song that should be playing while they ride off onto their next adventure together.

直到黎明/"Until Dawn" by 文森

[诟病/Morbid Attachment]

I'm still torn between feeling like this song is a bit too raw and under-produced, or breathtakingly intimate with its focus on the main vocals. It's written for a lost lover whose name is hidden in the lyrics and melody, a lover who doesn't know or believe in this, even though a part of him desperately wants to. This song is filled with the regret and yearning that comes out of such a relationship, vulnerable but hopeful.

心眼 (主役版) /"Eye of the mind" (cast version) by 陈张太康, 文森

[心眼/Eye of the Mind, Season 2]

This duet featuring two of my favorite voice actors is basically fulfilling one of my CV fandom dreams. Their voices work so well together! The calm, modern sound of the song perfectly sets the mood for the journeys of (relatively) ordinary people who manage to have some incredible drama.

recently I've come to the conclusion that Shen Yuan would listen to white girl music

this would be so funny in reverse transmigration fic Imagine Shen Yuan telling Google or something to play music and the song that comes on is Single Ladies by Beyonce. I also think he would be a big Taylor fan, he would try to hate listen but then fall in love.

or maybe he would listen to everything I don't know. Cause I want to ref some modern music in the fics I'm writing but I don't want it to be occ.

for modern AU fics - what chinese media did diaspora consume?

making this post because some of us in the diaspora server were having a chat about what Chinese media "Diaspora Chinese" watched in the 90's - 2000's (and even sooner than that) while not having access to satellite chinese media or streaming services - this is in the context of writing modern AU fics based off Chinese media/novels (so your main character's grandpa or uncle is not, in fact, watching an episode of Friends or Shortland Street or something as flavour text because sorry what the hell-)

We generally watched a lot of stuff on VCDs, including bootlegged and non-bootlegged movies, shows, anime/donghua. My household had a whole VCD album of this, and a lot of VCDs (even if they were pirated editions) would have a fancy hardcover box with a magnetic clasp and some artwork representing the show on it.

All of this is Mandarin - so not TVB stuff, because I'm from Northern China and I don't know any cantonese - but Canto friends, please feel free to add to the list! This is mostly stuff my parents liked to watch, or I liked to watch with them, with the exception of a few which I mainly watched with friends/cousins when I was maybe (in most cases) eleven/twelve years old onwards. This is a pretty personal list, meant to give people general idea of a possible "ballpark" of sorts, and by no means exhaustive.

Now, for the list of shows which I can confirm I had or someone I know had on VCD or some kind of offline media format lol (I'll try add release year stamps and links to the EN wikipedia where possible):

Period dramas (mostly Qing Dynasty stuff):

Huan Zhu Gege 还珠格格 (1998, April-) This is a classic, so many memes come from this show; hugely popular series, basically cemented Zhang Tie Lin's face as the face of the Qing Emperor for about a decade. Tie Chi Tong Ya Ji Xiao Lan 铁齿铜牙纪晓岚 (2002-2010) - I loved this show as a kid and watched all four seasons on repeat with family... The "trio" in this show are well known and loved.

Amazing Detective Di Ren Jie / 神探狄仁杰 (2004) A very popular and addictive show. Ok now the Big Four:

Romance of 3 kingdoms 1994 / 三国演义 (1994) - a classic that has had many remakes, my older cousin would play this on repeat...

Hong Lou Meng/红楼梦（1987） - another classic with many remakes, but I think the most recognised by the public one is the 1987 one.

Journey to the West / 西游记 live action (1986) - I think the 1986 version of the live action is the most recognised one. *Shui Hu Zhuan / 水浒传 (1998) - I am not too familliar with the live action of this one in my household tbh bc my mum doesn't like it lol (she keeps saying it's too depressing) but I'm sure it's up there with the rest of the big four, if anyone has an opinion on this one please let me know!

Modern setting shows:

My dad loved all the Sun Honglei (孙红雷 - actor name) stuff, iirc it was a lot of MinGuo period espionage stuff, your shanghai 1920's sxc aesthetic. This actor has been around since 1999? Qian Fu （潜伏）was very famous, and Ren Jian Zheng Dao Shi Cang Sang （人间正道是沧桑）。 These were around '08 and '09.

Chuang Guan Dong - 闯关东 (2008) (Baidu link, sorry - couldn't get an EN wikipedia one). This show was huge when it was airing, everyone was watching it. I was pretty young but even I watched it and got invested ... and I thought it was such an "old person" show at the time lmao. Xiao Bing Zhang Ga / 小兵张嘎（2004） (sorry, again Baidu link) - yo, anti-japanese war movies set between 1937-1945 were crazy popular - this is one of them and was very popular):

Donghua/Anime (all the stuff kid me watched and some which I didn't but were popular):

喜羊羊与灰太狼 (2005-) Calabash Brothers / 葫芦兄弟（1986-1987） Black Cat Detective / Hei Mao Jing Zhang 黑猫警长（1984-2010） Lan Mao Tao Qi 3000 Wen 蓝蓝猫淘气3000问 AKA 蓝猫 (blue cat) (October 1999 - Present) Legend of Ne Zha 哪吒传奇 (2003) Journey to the West/Xi You Ji 西游记 This was truly the Donghua I grew up on from when I was a bb, the OP song and ED song are classic bangers all kids know. Slam Dunk/ 灌篮高手 - People truly watched a lot of anime that may or may not have been terribly dubbed into mando (possibly canto too). Late 80s and 90s kids were all over this, and Dragon Ball, Crayon Shinchan (labixiaoxin).

Taiwanese Dramas:

This is mid-late 2000's, I would be remiss to not talk about the Taiwanese dramas of this era. Mike He, Rainie Yang, Wu Zun (amongst many, many others) were huge. Stuff like Dou Niu Yao Bu Yao, it started with a kiss, Hua Yang Shao Nv (Taiwanese version of Hana Kimi) were all pretty popular. Not sure if these shows all hold up in 2023, but boy were they popular at the time.

Note about CNY:

For CNY, people would try to tune into 春节联欢晚会 (the CCTV official CNY show) at that One Friend Who Had China Satellite TV's house. Zhao Ben Shan / 赵本山 was a comedy staple, and the show would often feature people from the music industry to perform. Eventually these people became more and more relevant to my gen and Jay Chou etc started appearing.

Last but not least Xian Jiaaaan 仙剑:

In 2005 I was all over 仙剑奇侠传 (Chinese Paladin), based off the video game. This show was crazy popular and probably sent me and a whole lot of other kids into Xianxia / Wuxia hell (and Hu Ge hell, and later I came back to love Liu Yifei). Thank you. The OST is a true banger.

#cnovel #mdzs #cdrama #chinese diaspora #danmei #not a lot of jinyong wuxia shows here so people who have opinions please chime in!#whew that was more than i thought #music could do with another post #but i dont know too much about my dads music i was just a 2000s cpop nerd #also this doesnt cover movies either #please no lan qiren watching friends #this breaks me out of my immersion immediately unless there was a specific reason why shufu is watching friends #not even sure how to tag this #late 2000s you could pretty much stream and download stuff i think i did that for bbjx when it came out #even tho my parents hated The Internet i managed #feel free to add more to this in a post or tags or whatever

I’ve made friends with a demon in my dream

He was ready to feed me to hungry wolves

But I’ve made friends with the demon

Now we’re joined at the hip day by day

He looked around 12 years old

But in his eyes blood and the desire to tear my soul out were boiling

I’d never been so afraid of anybody before

Rooted to the spot in the boondocks

I could hear his laugh clearly however far I was

Blood was oozing out of the ground like wine

Flame heat, wood crackling, mischievous grin

I was walking without looking back though perishing

I was ready to go away but, unfortunately, couldn’t

Rolling cigarette after cigarette

Among all the doors I’ve repaired

No exit from this dream can be found

AU: SY trapped in one of his nightmares by LBG.

Consider: TGCF… but metal.

Heavenly Damnation is a metal music modern AU fic series based on the novel Heaven Official's Blessing by MXTX.

Written by: Yabanned. Art by: Tiiracotta.

It counts with a Spotify playlist.

---

Part 1: Withering Lotus

Xie Lian is a talented multi-instrumentalist who had a meteoric rise as a metal star when his band, White Lotus, released their first EP and got the attention of the prestigious label Immortal Records. When he became the youngest artist to sign with them at the age of 17, he felt that he had the world in the palm of his hand. Three years later, though, a song he wrote tore everything down: he lost his contract, his career, his friends and his family. Vetoed and blacklisted, he was forced to live on the move, as far away from the offices of his old record label as possible, picking little odd jobs related to music in order to survive.

After eight years, a bureaucratic nightmare forces Xie Lian to come back to the capital. He tries his best to go unnoticed, yet he receives two unsettling requests upon arrival: a man in red wants his permission to cover a song he wrote, and a man in white wants him to inherit his mask.

Read here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42649482

---

Part 2: Rotting Waters

The story of Heavenly Damnation continues!

During the mid-autumn festival, a fateful encounter allowed Hua Cheng to take his all-time idol Xie Lian away from the grasp of Immortal Records —the most important label for rock and metal music in the country— who were trying to coerce him into signing up for a nightmare. Retreating with him and some members of his own band to a vacation home away from the Capital, Hua Cheng now must make the best out of the couple days they’ll spend together to gather what he needs in order to save Xie Lian’s music. The task isn’t easy: Hua Cheng can’t tell Xie Lian about his plans without breaking his trust and scaring him away, there are more interests at play, and back in the Capital, Jun Wu loses no time summoning Feng Xin and Mu Qing, Xie Lian’s former band mates and friends, to set a snare in which he can catch Xie Lian as soon as he returns. Dishonest debts, broken feelings and stolen songs start to surface in the muddled waters.

Songs stuck in my head (2023 Q1)

(No, I haven't listened to all the dramas or read the novels before I started looping their music.)

Love is a storm by 贰万

Season 1 main theme from 台风眼/Eye of the Storm -- This song sounds like a cult-classic indie film: all the pieces are working together to tell the story of a great, tumultuous love that is too hard to keep but too precious to let go.

一台风月 by Mario, 胡碧乔

"A Stage for Romance" -- Main them from 唇齿之戏/The Plays of Lips and Teeth -- The energy takes a while to build up, but the traditional Chinese elements work wonderfully here, and the later parts get so fun and joyous, just like listening to xiangsheng!

归航 by 沈谧仁, 徐远书

"Returning Journey" -- Main theme for Cherish/钟情 -- Sweeping, dramatic, and romantic, it's such a perfect song for a space opera about an emperor's epic love story with his soulmate.

诸事莫问 by 郑希倒霉死勒

Season 1 main theme (cast version) from 督主有病/Governor's Illness -- It sounds like the opening theme of a serious wuxia drama, full of energy and adventure. I can't put it to words but I just really like it.

鸣潜（主役版）by 陈张太康

Main them (cast version) from 六爻/Liu Yao: The Revitalization of Fuyao Sect, Audiobook version -- To complement the previous song, this melancholic ballad sounds exactly like the ending theme to a wuxia costume drama. Like I can already visualize those flower petal special effects and powerpoint transitions they will use for the video montage while the credits roll.

江湖归梦 by 远皓

Season 2 theme from 督主有病/Governor's Illness -- The song always made me feel I like it doesn't go quiet high or low enough, but isn't that exactly what a wandering wuxia hero would feel like, before he finds his real home?

曾有青鸟衔枝来 by 奇然沈谧仁

Second theme from 判官/Panguan Season 1 -- I have no idea what the novel is about, but the song sounds so sad but so careful, like everyone is trying to keep the same secret.

hii, ask game :)) - List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you!

I love this! Thank you for sending this my way. There are many things that I'm grateful for/that make my happy, but some of them include:

My family -my puppy Bear (well he's nearly 3 but he'll always be our baby lol) and my mom (despite our ups and downs, we always have each other's backs).

One of my best friends (she's an Aries, a beloved and fellow fire sign) -we met on our first day of class in our Women's and Gender Studies class over a decade ago (it was meant to be!). I met up with her a few months ago, and I took some photos:

Reading -I love reading so much. I'm interested in all kinds of genres (creative fiction and non-fiction to feminist texts of course). I also really like Danmei novels. I've read Heaven Official's Blessing and The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (MDZS is a happy rabbit hole lol I've watched the animations and live action too). I'm currently reading a heavy political-based one called Qiang Jin Jiu. Thus reading/spending time leisurely like this/delving into a story makes me happy.

Community makes me really happy. I know that sounds a bit vague? But support in our communities/for each other. I wish I had more connections to the people I met at the Gender and Sexuality resource centre I used to go to back in University where I met many people. Just being able to have those safe spaces/to find a place to connect with people is truly comforting. I am also happy for the community I have found here -I am grateful to everyone that I've met in this blog universe, and for just everyone here -thank you always.

And lastly, listening to music -it's a huge part of my life. It's my solace, something that inspires me when I'm writing, and also helps me cope/manage my anxiety when things get a little or a lot overwhelming. I have an eclectic music taste, and I have and will continue to listen to many genres. One of my favourite songs right now is "Monsters In My Mind" by Cloudy June.

#feminist #happy #learn a little about me time i suppose #music #queer community #danmei #hobbies #hello tumblr #hello world #yes the picture is of my dog lol

Anyway, I’m back from the war (preparing refs for ArtFight), so here are my TGCF and Epic: the Musical thoughts:

[MAJOR TGCF NOVEL SPOILERS]

Xie Lian’s story is pretty similar to Odysseus’s imo

“The blood on your hands / Is something you won’t lose / all you can choose is whose” (The Horse and the Infant) - this entire plot point is pretty much the “two people and one cup of water.” Just like Odysseus must kill the son of Hector, Xie Lian can’t deal with the war and provide war to Yong’an, and he chooses to prioritize Xianle/the people under him

“If I became the monster…” is a different reason for blackening - Odysseus wants to protect his crew and family while Xie Lian isn’t protecting anyone at this point - but that song feels MADE for him tbh. The point where Odysseus repeats, “Oh, Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves,” (a point made by Poseidon), where he’s repeating Poseidon’s logic of not showing mercy compared with Xie Lian believing White No-Face/Bai Wuxiang’s philosophy after those infected by the Human Face Disease killed him over and over again

The “Monster” clip could also work for Jun Wu / Crown Prince of Wuyong (even better than for Xie Lian because he was still trying to save the people of Wuyong by sacrificing lives while Xie Lian didn’t really make an active decision to harm anyone until he wanted to release the Human Face Disease, which, again, wasn’t to protect others), but I don’t remember enough to make more of an argument / animatic

Mu Qing and Eurylochus are pretty different yet similar as well - they’re both willing to use “unscrupulous” methods and leave behind others - albeit Eurylochus is talking about leaving their men to stay as pigs on Circe’s Island, I believe, while Mu Qing is not really as cruel or selfish as he’s portrayed; he was prepared to sacrifice himself to save Xie Lian and Feng Xin at the end. However, like, Eurylochus, he’s “not as moral” as Xie Lian and Feng Xin (Odysseus and Polities in Eurylochus’s case) and leaves Xie Lian and Feng Xin during their exile.

Idk if Mu Qing would confront Xie Lian the way Eurylochus confronts Odysseus in Mutiny though. He was weirdly excited about Xie Lian maybe killing someone (someone mentioned it a while ago; I don’t remember exactly) and seemed to want Xie Lian to be less “perfect.” Plus, Eurylochus is confronting Odysseus about running away from the sea monster Scylla, which I don’t see Mu Qing condemning. HOWEVER, Eurylochus’s doubt in Odysseus's leadership and ability to keep the crew alive is something I could definitely see in Mu Qing (source: just trust me, bro)

(To be honest, I don’t really get Eurylochus’s character that much - he’s upset Odysseus chose to run from Scylla, but he was all for leaving their men to Circe? - but those albums aren’t fully out yet, so it may make more sense later)

I refuse to believe Feng Xin would work as Polities though. It makes sense in all senses of morality, character function, and plot, but Feng Xin would not sing “Open Arms.” I refuse to believe it.

Pei Ming has the same vibes as Hermes (“Wouldn’t You Like” and “Dangerous”) actually. I don’t have any clear reasoning, but it makes sense to me, yanno?

Speaking of which, while Jun Wu has similar vibes and ideologies to Zeus (“it is the will of the gods”) and Poseidon, if I had to cast anyone as Poseidon, it would HAVE to be Shi Wudu.

“His title of ‘Water Tyrant was earned due to him capsizing any ship that did not give him offerings” (TGCF Wiki; Book 1, Ch.13) and “When a god comes down and makes a fleet drown, is he scared that he’s doing something wrong? Or does he keep us in check, so we must respect him, and now no one dares to piss him off?” (Monster)

“Shi Wudu considers death better than experiencing or watching prolonged suffering and pain” (TGCF Wiki; Book 3, Ch.124) and “I mean, you totally could have avoided this / Had you just killed my son” (Ruthlessness)

There’s probably more to say, but it’s ~5 am. I was prepared to sleep, like, 3 hours ago. If there are mistakes, no there aren't

#not a quote #tgcf #xie lian #tgcf meta #epic the musical #<-pretty much every song is a banger and can be made into a danmei animatic in some way #or maybe I've just read a lot of danmei idk #but I have a lot of great animatic ideas that I want to try out (mainly for Monster and Thunder Bringer / TGCF and SVSSS)#my posts #jun wu #mu qing #feng xin #pei ming #shi wudu #am I talking about an AU? comparing them? who knows I'm going to sleep

Artist: 黑昀_

傘にそっと彩を落とす，悄悄的用雨伞洗褪所有光彩，君は宙に浮かんでいく，你漂浮在空中逐渐远去。

Lyrics seem to be taken from this song また雨が降ったら by n-buna. You can find the full Japanese lyrics listed here. Rough translation based on Chinese translation is: Quietly, use an umbrella to wash away all the colors, You float in the air and fade away.
