mysterious lotus casebook introduces qiao wanmian as li xiangyi's ex-lover who clearly has some lingering sadness over their relationship still, and you think, "oh, she's going to be the woman who waited and stayed loyal to him for a full decade and never stopped thinking he'd come back (to her)". great. that's... great. and THEN. you find out that in actuality, a-mian did an admirable job of getting her shit mostly together and she's moved on. sure, she still misses li xiangyi (and honestly she missed what he represented to her more than him as a partner) but she's got a steady livelihood going and another man at her side who, up until he started being a dick, she didn't regret being with.

and after that, you realize. you know who spent ten years frozen in time and thinking about li xiangyi? who cannot let go of the memory of him even when they've been told he's dead? who's described as clingy in canon and still hounds him in the present at every turn about their past relationship? di fei-fucking-sheng. the narrative turned a-fei into the yearning lover left behind, complete with relationship metaphor. ''the moon that year wasn't as bright as today'' to "the bright moon has already sunk into the western sea". this show made li xiangyi di feisheng's literal baiyueguang so that a-mian could go live her best life getting what she deserved, and not be bothered by whatever template role she'd have been stuck in otherwise. everyone say thank you to mlc

#okay but outside of jest this is another relationship contrast mlc uses to draw out and emphasize aspects of feihua's relationship #by equating it to or putting it in opposite to an existing ideally romantic relationship #i wrote meta on how this works with dfs and jlq's relationship compared to dfs and llh's #but you see it at work with llh and qwm and him and dfs too #mysterious lotus casebook #feihua #di feisheng #qiao wanmian #li xiangyi #ashton originals #li lianhua

So, about how I see Link Click's Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi relationship:

As it stands in canon? Queerplatonic partners. And it's convenient for the plot that they're like this.

Because of Chinese censorship it can't be explicitly romantic, yes I know it. Let me tell why it's queerplatonic for me. The way these two have intertwined their lives and futures together?!

Owning a business and living together, that hint in ep2 (comparing them to the subtextually older lesbian couple who also came across as queerplatonic bc censure) where Xiaoshi wonders/fears if years down the line he and Lu Guang will separate/break up implying their partnership is for life as far as he's concerned (the parallel can be taken as a subtext romance too but follow me we're talking text), the way they were already going also on vacancies together three years prev in canon, etc...

Without entering on their complimentary powers and the way the dives need both of them if they want security in not screwing the past, and the inmense trust and vulnerability the dives themselves require?

They're not simply best friends either.

Those aren't the actions of normal, totally not queer friends. Cheng Xiaoshi checks out women on the dives, sure, (and men too when the host is feeling it which I love bc they can't address it directly bc censorship and then it comes across as Xiaoshi being super confident in his own relationship to sexuality/gender) but I don't think he would ever date bc Lu Guang is already there, filling that place in his life minus sex and romance but all that same companionship and intensity of feeling.

These two meet in what, the last year/s of High School and then proceeded to latch onto each other with a commitment reserved for romantic partners.

And I know you want to say, "it's the censorship! they'd be romantic and canon if not for the censorship!"

Are you sure? Are you sure the story would work if there were explicit romance in it? (I mean, if they could I'm pretty sure they would have nailed it anyways but allow me my a-spec delusions) Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang feel so much like an already established pair, they work like one, and Link Click is not about them coming together like many other stories. Are you sure this would work as BL?

There's a distinct difference on the way they start the show already like six years at least since they're best friends and three or two since they live together. That's not usually how it goes. I'm talking not just romances but every buddy or nakama anime/show, where the protag has to learn to work with who will be his best friend or rival. These stories usually have the same kind of plot progression as a romance which is why they work so well when you make the subtext text.

But a story where the main romance is already established and we're following a plot that has nothing to do with it? Much more rare, even stranger to find them well done although there are some very good ones and with the friendships instead of romo they're more common. For example, Soul Eater, which is all about the trials of it and how they hace to truly come to understand each other. That's Link Click a bit, but not even then.

Link Click juggling a budding romance between Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi with all the other stuff is going on?? Messier for sure. I don't know if people would have liked it as much or if the donghua would have been as well done.

As it is, Link Click has the exact level of emotional connection between our protags it needs to have incredibly high stakes emotionally and at the same time not need a detour by romantic scenes/fanservice that would derail the plot or the other charas importance. That it happens to be pretty queer anyways in a platonic way?

Nice for the aroace-spec folks watching the show xD

Btw, I'm pretty sure in season 3 we're going to get more of Lu Guang's PoV, the origins of their powers and the past between him and Xiaoshi. It'll probably dig more into the aspect of "testing their bond and coming stronger bc of it" which is were the romantic subtext usually comes through...

—unless you're very very good at writing like Arakawa in FMA, who nailed the brotherly relationship without tipping into incest subtext which I've seen more than a few writers fumble. or the latest D&D film for the platonic childrearing and partnership for a no familial example between a man and a woman also very very difficult to get right for writers dunno why—

... but until then, for now I'm incredibly satisfied by the canon.

The other read of course it that they're already a couple since well before the start of season 1, and to mentally edit what we saw in canon with that lens (it wouldn't be very difficult honestly) but reading only the text? Queerplatonic partners!

There also how Xiaoshi and Lu Guang don't have that anxiety/insecurity of their bond that makes it so easy to read the want for something, like a romance for shipping purposes. Despite the disagreements on the Dives or the trials of season 2 or Lu Guang keeping secret Cheng Xiaoshi future/past death they read very steady which is fun. I love some good established relationship, you can go to deeper places when the base is already secure and the risk is higher for the characters. Plus I love domesticity! Yes, I do my angsty/Gothic leanings notwithstanding. Don't you know you need a home for the Gothic to be effective?

#link click #meta #link click meta #lu guang #cheng xiaoshi #shiguang #my thoughts #all of this to say that I don't exactly ship them #Although I've been tagging fanart and meta with their shipname #bc I dont not ship them #honestly?#it's because despite it all I'm very much a canon girl so I can't help but see shiguang on that same romo-not romo limbo #canon present us with #loving the fics though #and Lu Guang is so tragic timetraveler for love coded is not funny #which is the reason I'm sure season 3 will give me that shift towards a more romantic lense to their relationship #also the way they made sure to sibling-fy qiao ling and cheng xiaoshi was fun XD #in conclusion: I think Link Click being a danmei wouldn't have worked #precisely bc it wasnt created as danmei the story as it is works almost perfectly #and right now Im not sure if I would want the romance at the expense of everything else the plot is doing #....qiang jin jiu did it well on the second half though #but it had the first part to go from a enemies-to-lovers and establishing the romance #I don't think I've seen a danmei start with a established romantic relationship bc the genre being a romance tells you that's #what's going to be centered #link click would had to be a just a time travel thriller with queer elements (which it is)#and I don't know #I'd love it but I bet we'll have lots of people annoyed/annoying bc they're here for the romance #Instead of taking the story for what it is #but then romance (queer romance) doesn't devalue the storytelling #ah the conflict of wanting a-spec queer stories VS censorship

Oh since youre a link click fan. Do you know about the 2 collabs they had with enstars?

I SAW THAT. Well, the crossover. Not those cards, which are SO pretty (look at the all the beautiful ART! That lighting, man!!)!

That might have been one of the few things that convinced me to stay, actually. Looking through the wiki's global events page just to see a list of stuff that wasn't impossibly long and then almost dying with mad laughter because somehow these two medias that couldn't be more different got a crossover

I mean, respect but talk about unexpected. XD

#can we also talk about how PRETTY lu guang and cheng xiaoshi are in the enstars style?#and true to the 'women do not exist except anzu and some nameless ones' we see no qiao ling #unless i missed it #anyway i dont know how crossovers work (do they get a story? just cards? a song?) but i support this #lu guang and cheng xiaoshi idol au i guess #link click #enstars #ensemble stars #(i do apologise for spamming the enstars tag with my nonsense. i tend to just use fandom tags for organisational purposes)#stuff i say

I wish there was qq fic I liked on ao3 cuz I finished rereading qq so once again I'm like, "so now what...."

#this is purely a me thing #like. to me qq is so good that what I want is 'more qq' and not so much fanfic of qq #hence my struggles #I need more Yan Wushi and Shen Qiao adventures and shenanigans interspersed with the political shit and one-off side characters lmao..#I can see why this style of writing isn't for everyone bc it's not very 'constructed' but it does work very well for the real-world #historical setting and like. making it feel like these characters exist in the story vs the story being about / For the characters #like they exist in the setting the setting isn't 'for' them #(this is lowkey directed at some post I saw saying they thought the donghua fixed a 'plot hole' in the novel lmao #and I'm like... where ?? lol)#I think it was about the ring but like... no not really lol like. the ring existed but it didn't have to be a macguffin #in fact it gave Madame Qin a deeper sense of history for it to NOT be so central to the story

Last night when I was trying to come up with a bedtime story for myself I got completely hung up on

Blind BFFs Shen Qiao and Xiao Xingchen. They are the kindest, most noble, most patient souls on the planet. Like this close to ascension. Daozhangs to the max.

And then there's their utter chaos gremlin boyfriends Yan Wushi and Xue Yang.

And no one, n.o.o.n.e., understands why these benevolent nigh-enlightened men can be with these horrible little monsters.

And when Xiao Xingchen first introduced Xue Yang to Shen Qiao, he was nervous. He's not an idiot. He knows Xue Yang is an imp. He knows Shen Qiao is the antithesis of everything Xue Yang is. What would Shen Qiao think, meeting this man? No one understands when Xiao Xingchen introduces them to Xue Yang, and he values Shen Qiao's friendship so highly, and what if it all goes wrong, what if Shen Qiao doesn't want to associate with him anymore? What if...?

But no, Shen Qiao just smiles, placid and cheerful as always, polite to Xue Yang's attitude, and afterwards he sounds just as relieved as Xiao Xingchen feels when he says, "actually, I've kind of been putting off introducing my boyfriend too, but now I'm not as worried..."

Anyway Xue Yang and Yan Wushi get along GREAT.

And Shen Qiao and Xiao Xingchen are even closer friends than before.

(I usually avoid crossovers. I don't even ship Xuexiao. I squick to Xuexiao ffs. But this idea spawned wholesale in my brain and now I can't stop thinking about it and knowing me it'll end in a foursome and idefk but here we are. 🤣🤣🤣 )

#unforth rambles #unforth writes #cql #thousand autumns #xuexiao #yanshen #i was like you know who would be great friends #shen qiao and xxc #but i cant make it work with songxiao #song lan and yan wushi just do not mesh #how can i make it work thinks i #oh no oh no oh noooooo xue yang would make it work #and here we are lmaoooo

times like these make me feel acutely the urgency of joining an org but like. the major communist orgs suck and the east asian american orgs are all radlibs so i feel stuck!

#🌱#many orgs are also just frighteningly white #I admire the work of nodutdol and anakbayan very much but I am neither korean nor filipino #at one point I was really interested in qiao collective but i think my politics have outgrown that phase #where’s the org for chinese MLs/questioning MLMs in america 😩#was talking to a friend about this and they were like maybe You should start something and i balked like no…i’m not cut out for that #but i do think chinese people in america (myself included) would gain a lot from a serious study of modern chinese history #I think an understanding and appreciation of the chinese revolution is essential in beginning to approach china’s contradictions today #a study group would be nice…#i stopped posting on my personal/political twitter b/c i realized so many leftists are really clout chasers but maybe I should dust it off #or mb i’ll wait for twitter to implode and for me to move out lol
