[START I.D.: A digital illustration of Lu Guang from Link Click. The piece is a redraw of a shot from the Season Two finale wherein Lu Guang is in blood-stained clothes, looking down at a photograph with an anguished expression. Blood is on his hand, hair, and face, as well. A light illuminates one side of his face. Around him are other photographs of him and/or Cheng Xiaoshi: one is of Cheng Xiaoshi grinning with his eyes closed and waving at the camera; the next is of their joined hands; another one is of them in white dress shirts, with Cheng Xiaoshi holding a basketball against his hip and having his other arm around Lu Guang, his hand holding up a ‘V’ sign, while Lu Guang stands awkwardly beside him; the last photograph is of Cheng Xiaoshi alone, who’s in a plain black shirt and wearing a soft smile, as a light shines on one side of his face. Behind Lu Guang are dozens of other photographs fluttering about, surrounded by splashes of blue, red, and orange against a dark background. END I.D.]

The Password to Lu Guang's Phone #2

Thank you @noideawhatamidoing and @ue-sa for pointing it out for me !

We finally have the answer: It's a date and time.

091305, The date and time in which Lu Guang basically changed the timeline to bring back Cheng Xiaoshi.

So, as far as the information that I have collected, the date is September 13, at 12:05:20 hours (12:05 am) . The year is unknown.

This kind of reminds me of Edward Elric carving the date of him burning his house down - into his pocket watch.

A reminder of what they had done.

tangential link click thoughts - is it wrong to be selfish if you have (a) power?

S2 finale spoilers ||

So, initially I was kind of in the boat of "oh LG is directly going against LC's initial themes" and was thus convinced that the show will have to make him fail, or it would break its own themes.

I still stand by that somewhat, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt like this tied into thoughts of privilege and existence that I've been struggling with myself.

I felt like I had to help people because I could, even though I didn't enjoy doing the work. So I quit eventually, because I dreaded going to the volunteer work. Was that selfish of me? Is it right to quit doing something good because it's "uncomfortable"? Clearly the people I'd be helping have far bigger worries than discomfort, after all.

And to bring this back to Link Click - Time travel plots are often quite selfish in nature, but (the ones I've seen) are usually with smaller casts where "how many lives they could save" isn't really a focus, unless you think about it yourself.

Link Click doesn't have that luxury by virtue of it initially focusing so much on other people's lives. So, why would LG get to have things he wants but others cannot?

I'm not blaming LG btw or saying this is bad writing by itself; just that if the SHOW sides with him on this, that would feel wrong or need proper writing around it.

But then again, if you replace time travel with something less supernatural... like, in a sense existence is always unfair and some will always have the power to resist bad circumstances more than others (through power, money, etc.) and if you CAN live the way you want, is it your duty to give up on that because others don't have the same choices / is it your duty to help others just because you're in the position to?

If the plot was about LG having stacks of money that he could pour into saving CXS, would that feel wrong too? You could say that most people don't have enough money to help everyone, but it's not even like their time travel doesn't cost anything, it costs their own time. So they also literally wouldn't even have the time to save everyone (not to mention the time-based fuckery this would lead to). So should they just help no one? Is it fair to help the people you're attached to but not others you could help?

"it's not your duty to help anyone" is no comfort to the people who suffer. Is that fair then? What about them?

It's entirely my own recent thoughts here, but I think that Link Click, if it wants to have its cake and eat it too (with the LG plot), would be equipped (or at least set up) to tackle these sorts of questions and themes.

For context, I don't think they'd have to justify this plot if their initial focus wasn't so broad and humane and about moving on, personally.

I hope this made sense ;-;

💞🎄🎅🎁❄️☃️💞 Link Click Padoru Padoru~

if this is their dynamic for s3 i will truly die happy

Link click season 2 is overrr! (and apparently season 3 may be in the making? I hope it goes back to the main theme of solving cases instead)

The last ep is satisfyingly good where it ties up this whole season nicely but also leaving the adequate amount of questions that leaves unanswered :3c

(also its partially rendered because i may have sprained my thumb HURK) Enjoy~
