When I looked at my opponent its was as if the space he moved through had been
erased by his electrifying presence. Even if I didn't win I knew this fight would change me. Truly, it made the months of preparation worth it, to meet this human at their absolute peak....

Eternal Brotherhood
I am starting a third show because @dangermousie is a horrible influence and an enabler 😭
RIP Minglan and Judge Di 🙏😔
***
Off to a good start.
The scenery looks real and not obviously CGI generated.
***
Love 🖤
***
Reasons I watch C-dramas.
This looks like another drama where I will have a thousand screencaps because I want them as drawing practice references.
***
IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLEFIELD?
I am getting Jiang Yanli flashbacks.
***
A woman? 👀
***
Interesting tattoo.
***
LMAO, wtf 😅
This drama is going to be full of characters.
I'm obsessed with the flower on his (?) head 🤣🤣
***
Hi, fren 🦂
***
This doesn't look like it will end well.
***
Glowing red eyes? For real?
BRB, adjusting my genre expectations real quick here 😅
***
Oh, yeah! Getting all the popcorn 🍿
***
Oh. Well, he settled that, then.
I was hoping to see more of the cool tattoo but I guess it's not meant to be.
***
LMAO, what even.
My guy, you are in the middle of a WAR.
***
LMAO, looking forward to meeting Luo Jie and Ming Yu as they clearly have good taste 😋
***
LOL, she seems unimpressed 😂
***
LMAO, honestly I did expect a body when he started untying that sack.
However, I expected it to be a dead one.
Anyway, don't trust her!!
IT'S A TRAP!!
But he seems stupid so here we are.
***
Eh, I don't like her much so far 😕
Unless she grows demon horns or something else equally interesting in the foreseeable future, we are not going to be friends.
***
I vote for his suggestion.
***
LMAO, he's an idiot 🤣🤣
Also, how does this method of gagging even work when you can just spit it out?
***
LMAO, how are you interrogating her when she's gagged?
If he keeps this up, she really is going to castrate him 🤣🤣
***
I love girls' girls 🤗
She had her untied in two seconds!
***
And here is Ning!

𝐍𝐎. 𝟔 ❛ 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐛𝐲𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐚 ❜ | NAKAWE PALACE, DEC. 1990
❧ 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 / 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭.
❛ A homecoming hadn’t been in Arnaut’s plans for years. Yet, had he imagined one, it never would have been occasioned by tragedy. The newspapers and evening news struck a grim chord as he arrived with his foreign children and foreign wife in tow: the queen’s heir was dead, and now her spare was recalled to fill the role. It need not be said aloud that this was its own calamity. While it was factual, the coverage eclipsed a deeper truth. Arnaut returned to Uspana with a hole in his life—one large enough to step through, large enough to become lost in, large enough that he could attempt, as she had, to drown within it. It tempted him. He could already hear the countervailing appeal of Safya’s voice in his ear. Duty wasn’t meaningless to him, but it was paper-thin compared to his iron reverence for her.

❧ i think this is my favorite scene of the episode, maybe just because i love arnaut and love him getting screen time. i had planned to write something poetic about the sharp contrasts between arnaut and lorri’s respective relationships with their sisters, but i had to sacrifice prose on the altar of exhaustion yet again. if anyone wants to ask questions, that’s a good one. & lorri is, as always, @funkyllama's baby.
TRANSCRIPT:
{Shuffling, wheels, doors opening and closing}
[L] Germán! Walk, please.
{Indistict children's voices}
{Abelina laughing}
[L] Well? A “stroll” before we go inside—?
[A] Are you okay?
[L] Am I okay?
[A] Lorraine, this is it. We’re home now.
[L] I know that.
[A] I’m sorry.
[L] May I be honest?
[A] About how you’re feeling? Please.
[L] Leaving isn’t hard. The reason for it is …
[L] What I want to say that I will not be grieving anything else.
[L] We don’t have a life in Iona to mourn. Or, I don’t. If I can put an ocean between her and myself, why would I be upset about that?
[L] You can’t worry about me. Not on top of everything else.
[A] {Sighs}
[L] I mean it.
[A] She isn’t here, but there will be others. Different isn’t better.
[L] I know.
[A] Germán and Abelina? He isn’t ready. We made sure of that. They’ve been training Leonor since she was old enough to walk—or before, even. They won’t be kind or fair to them.
[L] It’s my responsibility now. In a sense, I was born for it. I can be myself and grow into the role I have now. We all can; we all will.
[L] All I’ve ever wanted is to be of service. If that’s what will be asked of me, then I’m home now.
[A] Gone?
[G] Yeah.
[A] Sad?
[G] Really sad, Lia.
