#will dadong get together though?

¡Happy New- Yoohyeon day (?!
The girls spent New Year's together celebrating Princess Hyeonnie's birthday, and it looks like this party involved quite a bit of alcohol.... 😏
✨ I think Yoohyeon indulged in a few extra drinks since they were celebrating x2, and it resulted in her getting sticky with the members.
✨ Hugs, kisses on the cheek and for sure she'll go from lap to lap looking for the same affection and have even more attention.
✨ Not so deep down, Yoohyeon is a puppy who loves to be the center of attention of all her members and to be pampered.
✨ JiU with her easy laugh and her mammy kink (especially sensitive to Yoohyeon) keeps her on her lap for quite a while to tease her.
✨ She gets addicted to giving her kisses on her neck AND making her suddenly shiver.
✨ Eventually she lets go of her cup to caress her legs. I'd use the other one if Yoohyeon isn't using it to play with and she loves that cute habit of hers.
✨ One hand is enough either way, drawing circles on the younger girl's thighs gets her to spread her legs apart to get to that sweet spot...
✨ Oh surprise... It's really hot.
✨ The caresses don't come at all, and we already have SuA stealing Yoohyeon to give her a heated kiss in front of everyone. That doesn't take long to heat up the atmosphere and soon they are all in a kind of war to have some Yoohyeon to kiss and caress, of course they try to make sure that the blue-haired girl is the one who enjoys the most.
✨ Somehow, Dami, Siyeon and Dongie find a way to tease the three of them together, while Yoohyeon is sitting on Siyeon's legs, Dami is caressing her waist and kissing one shoulder while Dong is marking the other one with her lipstick. Siyeon of course enjoys the view as she fucks Yoohyeon's mouth with her fingers and gives a nice show to the rest by wiggling her hips and making Yoohyeon warm up.
✨ Gahyeon takes her time alone, the level of alcohol in her blood and how needy Yoohyeon is makes the game get rough. Yoohyeon is sitting on the table when she loses her pretty sweater and starts getting marks for "being such a pretty girl".
✨ While her words are cute, the kisses and bites are not so cute. And in fact, scratches have appeared on Yoohyeon's legs by accident, Gahyeon didn't plan to take her like that, but he finds it impossible not to want to touch her like that.
✨ JiU suggests to take off her shorts and the pretty green lingerie on her is pushed aside for Gahyeon's fingers to enter it.
✨ Gahyeon will tease how greedy she is for money as she pumps inside her. Then she would tell her something like "you canary a lot being a whore"...
✨ And Yoohyeon, even though she's more lust than person, smiles and looks at her to say: Yes, as she was driving them all 6 crazy doing nothing but breathing and being pretty. She then suggests that they all pay her, jokingly....
✨ JiU suddenly opens her wallet and leaves a good amount of Wons in Yoohyeon's bra, winks at her and says: I'll take you next turn, princess.
✨ After that, the role-play starts to get out of control, and indeed, Yoohyeon gets the room filled with money just because her friends want too much to fuck her and fill her up one by one.
✨ Or maybe... 2 by 2...
✨ And of course, they spanked that ass in 4, Yoohyeon is one tooooooo cute puppy and deserves to be branded.
✨ Legend has it that Yoohyeon came home overly satisfied.
-.-.-.-.-~

Day 13
Title: Drop the Beat
Features: Dadong (Dreamcatcher); ot7
Word Count: 1592
Tags: fluff, tension
Inspiration: this Tik Tok
“I saw this new challenge on Tik Tok. Let’s try it!”
Everyone turns to the maknae of their friend group. Tik Tok was an obscure thing, especially to the elders (or “boomers” as Gahyeon calls them) of the group. This was either a bad idea or a good idea.
“Okay! What is it?” Minji, the mother of the group, opens the conversation.
“So we all pick a song. As the song plays, we point fingers at each other one at a time. When the beat drops or when the chorus starts, whoever is the last person to be pointed at has to face a punishment.”
Not everyone is entirely convinced. “Show us the video. I don’t see the charm in it.” Bora complains.
Gahyeon snatches her phone. “It’s not a popular thing! I just saw it and maybe we can make it viral! Let’s just try it out once then we can record it.”
Yoohyeon and Handong do not seem convinced, but everyone crowds around so they play along.
“What’s the punishment,” Yubin asks?
“Let’s start low. Like a flick to the forehead? Whoever points is the flicker and the person they point to gets the punishment.”
“Any song requests?” Handong reaches out to her phone and connects it to her Bluetooth speaker.
“”Snapping” by Chungha, please,” Siyeon requests!
It’s a very lowkey process, but the girls have fun with it. At first, they were just pointing at each other in a circle, then Siyeon decided to point across the circle, flustering Bora. Pointing had no direction or flow. They didn’t follow the beat of the song and as the chorus neared; pointing had become more competitive.
“Ashwiweo beolsseo yeoldushi…”
Yoohyeon is pointing at Bora. The elder screams while everyone else silently cheers.
“See? That wasn’t too bad? Let’s try it again!” Gahyeon is happy that her friends could make a dull game exciting.
“BORA-UNNIE HASN’T GOTTEN HER PUNISHMENT YET.” Siyeon loudly points out.
Bora whines, but Yoohyeon readies herself. The elder’s eyes are closed and a smacking sound echoes in the room.
The girls all chuckle for different reasons: Bora’s excessive reaction, the fact that the sound basically boomed in everyone’s eardrums, or Yoohyeon shaking her hand in pain saying Bora’s head is too hard.
“Next song, “Lalalay” by Sunmi.” Minji requests.
“What’s the punishment? Same thing,” Handong asks?
“Whoever loses has to take a selfie after eating a Chocopie.” Siyeon then grabs her bag and fetches the snack. “She has to post it for 24 hours on social media.”
“Do you have any other snacks,” Gahyeon asks?
Siyeon pulls out some laver. The girls laugh over the fact that she readily has so many snacks.
Handong starts the music and Bora automatically points to Yubin. The girls were more spread out this time, making it seem like the pointing was more chaotic.
They almost forget about the beat drop since the sound of the siren is more subtle. When Sunmi starts her “la-la-lay” part, that’s when they officially pick a loser. This time, it’s Gahyeon.
As the maknae she is, she attempts to use aegyo to get out of the punishment. She says something along the lines of “I thought of this challenge.”
Bora savagely replies, “And now you got the punishment.” She shoves the Chocopie in front of her. “Congratulations.”
Gahyeon pouts and everyone just chuckles at her. She opens the wrapper and stares at the snack. She slowly takes a bite, before Siyeon nearly smothers her with it. The maknae is gently taken aback but is grateful that it wasn’t too forceful. She covers her mouth as she tries to chew.
“Don’t fix your teeth!” Yubin teases.
“Heim noght! (I’m not!)” A chunk nearly falls out of her mouth.
When she swallows the bigger portion, she gives a cheesy grin. Everyone takes photos, praising and teasing at how cute she looks. With the hype from her unnies, she actual poses a bit more, loving the attention.
Gahyeon goes to the bathroom to rinse her teeth while the other girls choose their favorite pictures.
“Choose which one you’re going to post.” Yoohyeon pulls out a picture of Gahyeon puckering her lips which had crumbs and chocolate frosting on the corner of her mouth.
“I think this one’s the cutest.” Handong shows a photo of Gahyeon candidly smiling, her eyes turning into crescents. One of her teeth looks like it’s missing as it’s covered by the chocolate frosting.
“If you don’t post this, I will.” Yubin shows a picture of Gahyeon looking flirty in the camera, with her Chocopie-covered-toothy grin.
“Unnie!” Gahyeon felt pleasantly pressured.
“What the heck? Let’s just change the rules. Let’s all post a picture of Gahyeon.” Minji offers.
Everyone retracts their phones and opens some sort of social media application.
“Call.”
“Sounds good to me.”
“I like that.”
“WHAT?!” Gahyeon tries to grab Bora’s phone, but Handong, Minji, and Siyeon had already posted something.
The little one crosses her arms and sulks. Her unnies all laugh at her.
“We’ll delete it later if you don’t really want it.” Minji pats her head. “It’s only 24 hours if it really bothers you.”
Gahyeon lightens up. She knows her unnies wouldn’t defame her in any way. It’s not like she new her older unnies’ friends and she did look cute. Also, she couldn’t help but appreciate the captions of affection that they gave her.
“Next round! Let’s do “Thumb’s Up” by Momoland!” Bora requests.
“Punishment” Yoohyeon asks?
Unknown to everyone else, Yoohyeon and Gahyeon exchange a mischievous look.
“Loser has to call their crush.” Gahyeon offers. This was part of the Tik Tok she saw.
Siyeon’s eyes widen. “Oooh! Let’s record it this time!”
Minji was a little hesitant about the consequences. “Okay, but if it ends awkwardly, then don’t force the loser to post it.”
“But you guys posted my Chocopie selfies!” Gahyeon stood up in protest.
“This is different, though Gahyeonnie. These are people’s feelings. What if they get rejected?” Handong tries to calmly reason with her.
“I highly doubt any of y’all will get rejected. You’re super popular at work or at school!” Gahyeon holds her hands up. “Look. Just call your crush. You don’t have to ask them out on a date. Just call them and let us feel your secondhand embarrassment!” Gahyeon tries to offer.
“Fine.”
“Let’s do it.”
“What could possibly go wrong?”
Little did they know, three people in the room were nervous.
The song starts and Handong points to Minji. It’s another game of invisible tag. The girls are more chaotic now that they know what’s at stake. The prechorus starts. Tensions get high.
As soon as JooE sings “Thumb’s up!”, Bora’s finger points straight to Yubin.
Yubin’s face nearly goes white and she curls into her chair. The girls laugh at her reaction.
“Wow! I wonder who Yubin’s crush is!” Yoohyeon thinks of all the people in their classes together.
Minji thinks of all the people she’s seen with Yubin when she visits the coffee shop she works at.
“What’s his name? Do we know him?”
“What if it’s a her?” Siyeon wiggles her eyebrow at Yubin. “Yubinnie was considered a prince when she was a freshman.”
Yubin wonders if she can play it cool. She’s debating her decision. She doesn’t know anyone that could lie for her on the spot, except the people in front of her. She can’t call any of her male friends because the ones she’s close to already have girlfriends.
Fuck it.
What’s the worst that can happen? She rejects me?
I mean our friendship could be tarnished, but I know I can play it off eventually.
Yubin sighs and takes out her phone. The girls are excited yet feel her stress.
“Who’s going to deny the prince?” Siyeon nudges Yubin.
“Just call your crush and have a conversation with them!” Gahyeon pushes, trying to ease her stress.
Yubin scrolls down her contact list and goes straight to a contact that reads ‘Wuhan Princess’ and has a Chinese flag emoji next to it.
“Why are you hiding the caller ID?” Minji teases. She thinks that maybe she knows the person if Yubin’s hiding it.
“Put it on speaker.” Siyeon pressures. Yubin just raises the volume, still wanting to hide the caller ID.
The sound of Twice’s “Feel Special” booms throughout the room. The girls panic, Yubin’s anxiety grows.
They realize it’s coming from the speaker.
“Handong, it’s your phone! Why is it playing music?” Siyeon covers her ears.
“Sorry!” Handong runs to her phone. She reaches out to the volume levels. She thinks it’ll lower the volume, but it nearly cuts off the sound from the speaker entirely.
She stares at the screen. She notices she’s getting a call.
Prince of Rap
Things start clicking in her head. Minji and Bora check her phone after seeing Handong’s jaw drop. They understand what’s going on.
The two self-proclaimed royalty stare at each other, not being able to read the situation.
Siyeon was officially the only one who didn’t get what was going on until she heard the voice from Yubin’s speaker.
“Hey! This is Handong! Sorry I missed your call! Leave me a message and—.”
Yubin hung up before the voicemail ended.
Her throat is dry. Handong’s blank reaction isn’t easing her in anyway. “I guess my crush is busy or something. She didn’t answer.”
Gahyeon and Yoohyeon (who plotted this whole thing so the two could flirt more) were starting to feel nervous, too. Maybe this wasn’t a good idea.
“Do you… like me?”

What Do the Country’s Top Sommeliers Bring to a BYOB Dinner?
“I’ve loved these wines for a long time, and this vineyard is special, and the 2014 magnum is rare!” Patrick Cappiello said excitedly. He grabbed the Dard et Ribo Crozes-Hermitages “Les Rouges des Baties” off a table in the basement of NYC’s Peking Duck House, a favorite BYOB party room of area sommeliers. “I’ll pour you a giant glass.”
That Northern Rhône wine made sense. The occasion was a dinner for producers visiting for a Rhône wine festival. It wasn’t the only thing that the wine director of Philadelphia’s Walnut Street Café was sharing that night. Jolie Laide Trousseau Gris Rosé, PAX Gamay Noir, PAX Sonoma-Hillsides Syrah — Cappiello had also brought a trio of California esoterica to share with the vignerons in attendance. It was an opportunity to show off the homegrown talent he distributes through his company, Renégat Wines. “We’ve been drinking French wines for a long time, so it’s about f*cking time, right?”
Sharing for pure pleasure, or sharing with an agenda? Pouring the tried and true, or busting out a maverick? As we tasted through the wines that Cappiello and other sommeliers had pulled from their personal stashes to share that night, I wondered what pros who weren’t there would have brought.
On the restaurant floor, sommeliers have other masters than themselves: the food, the diner, the bottom line. When off the clock, what bottles do they open to impress, and why? I asked the question of sommeliers all over the country. It turns out that the pros have some principles in common for the wines they use to wow pals.
Go Big or Go Home
You’d think that when sommeliers want to make a splash, they’d just pour big-name trophies. Sometimes they do: the Francois Raveneau Chablis that Evan Zimmerman, of D.C.’s Reverie, cracks open; the 2007 magnum of Carlisle Winery James Berry Vineyard Syrah that Leonora Varvoutis of Houston’s Coltivare “drools over.”
“But you don’t want to push too hard in that direction, or the bottle comes off as pure braggadocio,” says Steven Grubbs, wine director at Atlanta’s Empire State South. Rather, pros try to offer something unique.
“It’s nice to check in on the icons,” Caleb Ganzer of Manhattan’s Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels says, “but extra points if it’s a rarer bottling.” His go-to? Cedric Bouchard La Bolorée 2009, made from a tiny parcel of Pinot Blanc. With a golden apple core and a texture like compressed croissant flakes, it’s all the more impressive because it’s surprising. “People don’t realize you can make Champagne with Pinot Blanc,” he says.
That wine goes for about $600 on lists, but bigness isn’t just in a name or price tag. Michael Corcoran, of Peppervine in Charlotte, N.C., likes something brawny, “a wine that will unfurl in a decanter a few hours while more timid bottles are consumed and forgotten.” Dal Forno Romano’s Valpolicella Superiore, for instance, is a third the price of Amarones because its grapes have been air-dried half as long. But it’s “redolent of sugar plums, kirsch, baked black cherries, cedar, balsam, spice, and smoked meat,” he says, a bruiser that brings “lasting memories.”
Speaking of big, pros insist that size does matter. Patrick Laman of Chicago’s Maple & Ash found his wow factor in a 1985 Diamond Creek “Gravelly Meadow” Cabernet not only because of its Californian staying power — “My friends were laughing at how primary it still was after 30-some years” — but because it was a 6-liter bottle. “Everybody had more than their fair share.”
Element of Surprise
Somms take many routes to get their drinking buddies to that a-ha moment. Alexandra Rovati, head sommelier at Manhattan’s DaDong pours a familiar varietal from an unexpected locale. “Barely anyone has heard of Argentinean Pinot Noir,” she says. Particularly in its 2011 vintage, Bodega Chacra “Cincuenta y Cinco,” a biodynamic, old-vine Pinot, is the velvety knockout she brings to dinner parties.
Commanders Palace sommelier Dan Davis flipped that equation recently with an unexpected varietal from a classic region. He was pouring for a Burgundy blind tasting group. “The first thing that struck everyone was the color — almost golden, with flashy highlights,” he recounts. “It looked at once young and old. The nose was lemon curd and almond.” The group was stumped. “Remember,” he told them, “there is more than one white grape in Burgundy.” The wine was a 2007 Domaine Ponsot Clos des Monts-Luisants Premier Cru Morey-St.-Denis, Burgundy’s only premier cru Aligoté. “Everyone was excited to taste a special bottle and learn something in the process.”
For others, the surprise is in the sticker shock — in reverse. A wine that’s a steal can really impress. For Ryan Bailey, wine director of the NoMad in Los Angeles, that bottle is low-intervention Lancelot-Royer Champagne. It expresses the minerality of its grand cru vineyards, but with a richness from aging. “I probably shouldn’t be too vocal about it because not a lot is made and it’s still incredibly affordable,” he says. “But tasted side by side with big house and cult grower Champagnes, these wines leave them in the dust.”
Better with Age
Most somms agree with Maple & Ash’s Michael Loveisky: “Drinking a wine that is older than yourself or produced the year you were born forces you to have some perspective.” But an aged wine only works if it’s as ready for drinking as you are. “My non-sommelier friends don’t have the knowledge to select properly aged wines,” he says, “so this is one of my favorite ways to impress them.”
For a recent get-together, Kevin Bratt, the beverage director of the Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab group, uncorked a 1995 magnum of Château La Croix de Gay Pomerol. The wine, he says, “was in a beautiful place and continued to evolve through the night.” What made it a conversation piece was Bratt’s perfect timing.
Of course, some producers do that work for you. Rustic Canyon Family wine director Kathryn Coker trusts in the Domaine de Vieux Château 1er Cru Chablis “Le Lys” 2005 precisely because of it’s aged so long in-house. “The ‘05 is the current release and it was just bottled in 2016!” she says. That time in the barrel leaves the wine textured and complex enough for a special occasion.
Best is an aged wine that subverts expectations. When she wants to impress, master sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier opens wine from her native Loire. Lately, she’s pulling out “a wild card”: aged Muscadet, like the 1989 Luneau-Papin Le L d’Or. “Everybody is surprised,” she says. “It’s incredibly briny and easy to drink but super complex at the same time. You realize it doesn’t need to be full or rich or dense to be good.”
Unsung Heroes
Somms such as Lepeltier like to knock friends’ socks off with underdogs that over-deliver. For Karen Van Guilder-Little, of Nashville’s Josephine, that means Zinfandel. Big, dark, and juicy but not overbearing, the little-known A. Rafanelli from Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley has an elegance unexpected in a Zinfandel, she says. It’s a vehicle for her rehabilitation of the varietal. “I know it’s not cool to like Zin, but this bottle will convert people,” she says.
For Maurice DiMarino, beverage manager of SoCal’s Cohn Restaurant Group, sharing outliers with fellow somms is a service to the industry. “I like to remind them that almost every region is doing something unique,” he says. At a bottle share with master somms, he poured Lagrein from the Serra Guacha in Brazil, a region he describes as “dismissed by many and undiscovered by most.” The wine was “beautiful, fresh, and racing with acidity.”
Andy Hata of Cleveland’s Urban Farmer is the gutsiest underdog promoter. His current favorite is the 2017 M Cellars Reserve Pinot Noir. Though its cherry-raspberry juiciness evokes the Williamette Valley, and its earthiness and structure “scream Burgundy,” it’s made 45 minutes from downtown Cleveland. “Mention the words ‘Ohio wine’ and people’s expectations are for the worst,” he says. “Then blind taste them on this and blow their minds. In our local sommelier tasting group, it is not uncommon for one of us to sneak this into a lineup next to top Pinot Noirs from around the world. It always over-performs.”
A Story to Tell
Whether they’re pouring a star or a sleeper, a lot of professionals agree with Maple & Ash’s Frankie Villar: “The personal connection is what makes the difference when aiming to impress.” A 2010 magnum of the biodynamic, single-block Churton Pinot Noir “The Abyss” is his wine to share, not just because it’s only produced in exceptional years but because, as an intern at The Abyss in 2015, he walked the slopes where the grapes were grown.
Some sommeliers’ choices are Proustian. Angela Gargano, wine director at Montana’s Triple Creek Ranch, grew up in a Sicilian family. “Hidden gems” like the bright, aromatic 2016 Fattorie Romeo del Castello by producer Chiara Vigo, the third generation of women to grow grapes at her family estate on Mount Etna, evoke memories for her.
Others like to share souvenirs of their travels. Jake Yestingsmeier of Omaha’s Monarch Prime looks for tasting room-only finds like Cliff Lede’s “Rockblock Series” Cabernet, whose blend and label change with each vintage. For Francesca Maniace, it’s the story of the hunt that elevates a bottle. The Jerome Prévost Fac-Simile Rosé Extra Brut that she recently brought to dinner was “vinous and expressive with intense depth and complexity of fruit.” But Maniace, the wine director at San Francisco’s Che Fico, valued it all the more because her purchase, at a shop in Reims, coincided with a chance meeting with Prévost himself.
On a Mission
Some sommeliers argue that the important thing to impress upon companions is a political or environmental statement. Their favored bottles reflect their mission. Allie Poindexter of Nashville’s Henrietta Red highlights the women who are transforming the wine world. If you drink with her, she’ll open an SP68 by celebrated young Sicilian producer Arianna Occhipinti. The mineral, terroir-driven white is “a jumping off point for conversations surrounding alternative growing and winemaking methods, gender in the industry, and the trajectory of Sicilian wines,” she says. Ditto the wines of Elisabetta Foradori, “a standard-bearer for native varietals” in the Dolomites. Her lively, polished Foradori Vigneti delle Dolomiti Teroldego, says Poindexter, “is a great example of the benefits of sustainable farming practices.”
Vinny Eng, who just left his gig as the wine director of San Francisco’s Tartine Manufactory, is a champion of emerging talent, especially new producers who haven’t yet picked up distribution. Lately, he’s been sharing wines by the young and “incredibly talented” Claire Hill, who makes “supple, entirely gulpable, fresh, delicious, and really soothing Mourvèdre.”
But whichever new producer he has spotlighted, Eng sums up the motivations behind every sommelier’s wow-factor bottle: to give friends an experience they won’t soon forget, and to connect through the shared pleasures of the palate. “What I love about the wine community and how it evolves is that you have room for more and more voices,” says Eng, “and it creates a beautiful experience for individuals to find affinity for things they hadn’t known they had an affinity for.”

Yi-Neng Disparity
(Also known as I can’t sleep so I’ll rant about something I’ve realized.)
In different dimensions, there’s almost a different curve for the Yi-Neng (or Battle Points or Wushu Points or Destruction Points or Hit Points or whatever else) that the Yi-Neng users possess.
Gold Dimension
So in the Gold dimension, it’s the curve that we’re more used to: normal adults (Wang Dadong) are ~15,000, teenagers on the KO chart are 7,000~12,000 (Li Yanyan ~ Zhi Ge), cool adults are ~25,000+ (Zhi Shui), and evil masterminds at 140,000+ (Dugu Lang).
See, in this curve, you can see that 100k is strong as heck, 25k is experienced adults, 15k is adults, and 7k+ are young adults in training so their room for improvement is bigger. [25k is wow nice and 7k is wow nice for a teenager.] I’m using this as the standard for our discussion because I like this curve.
Iron Dimension
This is the curve that’s more like the Gold’s but still kind of different. Mind you, this is the curve before the Great Battle. Experienced adult (Ah Gong) is 35,000, middle aged adult (Xiong-ge) is at 25,000. When we get into the half demonized sector of the family, Xia Yu is at 40,000 (with a demon lord inside him), Xia Tian is at 55,000+ because he’s the Iron Man, and Xia Mei is at 8,000. Xia Tian’s evil grandpa is 100,000.
Basically, weaker young users are 8k-, stronger young users are 25k+, infused with demons they’re 30k+, and adults are also about 25k+ (so experience matters less). [30k is very impressive and 8k is nice as heck.]
Something that should be noted is that most of the Yi-Neng users we know in this dimension have an elemental power, but this is not a common occurrence. Yi-Neng users with an element seem to be stronger, but it’s not common and it’s not a guarantee.
During the Great Battle, all the Iron users’ Yi-Neng drops to 2,000 to 6,500. The strongest of which is Cang Qiong but he’s the X Man (45,000). Basically the Yi-Neng users lost about 4/5 of their original power.
Silver Dimension
This is what I like to call the macho dimension. Let’s only talk about the students of the dimension because they alone are enough to prove my point.
Guan Yu, the strongest student, starts off the show at 20,000 – already much stronger than adult Wang Dadong, even. He leaves the show at 30,000, much closer to Xiu’s 35,000, which makes sense since he should be about Xiu’s age.
Let’s move on to the weakest (sorry) student: Xiao Qiao. She stays at a consistent 12,500 throughout the show, which is still stronger than a KO 2 in Gold and regular teenagers in Iron.
Here, we can say that 35k is top and 10k is a bare minimum.
There are two factors that I’ve theorized to contribute to this sudden inflation. One, the people we know are all from royal or noble blood, and the path to power in Silver means militarization, so the kids are exposed to a more war-prone environment in their development. Two, we see on multiple occasions that the characters are almost ignorant about demons from the wormhole, so I theorize that the influence of demonic energy impacts Yi-Neng users’ powers. This is also exhibited in Iron: during the Great Battle, users’ powers are all brought down to a lower level.
Copper Dimension
This, my friends, is a foil dimension compared to Silver. Here, we are only analyzing three characters.
Strongest student: Gou Zhui at 11,000. Mind you, even Zhi Ge has a higher point value than this and Gou Zhui is the leader of one of Chief’s teams that I don’t want to translate right now.
Weakest student: Ding Dang at 5,300. She would not be able to make the KO top 10s and she is part of the evil exterminating team, which I image has quite a status.
Adult protector: Riyin Wang at 25,000. This is closer to Guan Yu’s point value about half way through the drama, so this is really not that high. This is really close to the Xia family’s adults, though, but the Xia family doesn’t really practice Yi-Neng, they kind of just have it. (They’re not the family known for their power.)
Clearly, this is closer to the curve that my teachers use on assignments because my classes all suck. This is the place were 25k is top notch and 5k is good enough. However, I must mention that the demon world has a much bigger presence in Copper than any other dimension. There are literally classifications for demonized Yi-Neng users because they are so common.
Silver Dimension (2017)
Here is where it gets weird because this Silver’s curve is so different from the original Silver’s curve that I’m going to file this under “3anguo17 is not my Silver” for proof.
This Guan Yu starts off the drama at 12,500. Not very impressive, but consider that George’s Guan Yu starts off at 20k and Xiu was at 35k, and Zhi Ge here is at 14k. In relation, the characters are starting off similarly even though it’s like a 30% difference.
However, Xiao Qiao here is at 8,500, which is only 4,000 points away from Guan Yu. Much closer than the 8,000 point difference. This means that the scale on this curve is much more squished together.
Basically 13k is ooooooh and 8k is nice.
This is the weirdest thing to me because it means that the standard deviation is much smaller and so Guan Yu is not technically as strong as he’s portrayed to be. Basically in ‘17, Guan Yu fighting Xiao Qiao would look more like Zhi Ge fighting Gu Zhan and in ‘09, Guan Yu fighting Xiao Qiao would’ve looked more like Dadong fighting Gu Zhan (but worse).
Another notable thing is that the elemental power seems to be common in this dimension so I don’t know what’s going on. What I do like about this is that it places the female characters on more equal footing with the male characters. But is this drama gonna pass the Bechdel test? Probably not. We’ll see.
