(cn: the fic is E-rated noncon.)<br /><br />Two pieces of meta here. The first one is on the idea that Dixing has no time. The first part of it may be of interest to people who aren't here for the twincest, just bail when it starts to get shippy. The second is on my attempts to start a rewatch (which is going slowly, because like Dixing I have no time) and what I'm seeing and how I'm dealing with it. That one probably is only of interest for people who share my shipping tendencies.<br /><br />No real warnings for the meta, aside from the obvious: villain apologism and non-graphic twincest.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://waterscroll.dreamwidth.org/27681.html#cutid1">Dixing has no time</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___2" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://waterscroll.dreamwidth.org/27681.html#cutid2">Rewatching early episodes with wrongshippergoggles</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___2" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />Thank you for reading, and if you found anything useful here please do leave a note.<br /><br />Meanwhile, if Ye Zun interests you, please take a look at <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/25276963">In Two Nights and a Day</a>, a highly shippy and fun Ye Zun/Zhao Yunlan fic that <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://extrapenguin.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://extrapenguin.dreamwidth.org/'><b>extrapenguin</b></a></span> wrote for me for <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://equalityauction.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png' alt='[community profile] ' width='16' height='16' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://equalityauction.dreamwidth.org/'><b>equalityauction</b></a></span>. It's got food porn, Zhao Yunlan being caretaking, and a lot of optimism about the possibility of actually meeting Ye Zun's needs even when they feel overwhelming. It made me very happy to read.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=waterscroll&ditemid=27681" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2019-07-17:3544367:25679 2020-06-15T11:30:17Z 2020-07-21T16:42:18Z public 15 I’m feeling a little nervous to post my thoughts, since I’m still fairly new to the canon and Guardian fandom is full of excellent and thoughtful writers who have been thinking through the show for years, so I’m a little worried that anything I say at this point will be either obvious or wrong. But writing will help me process my feelings about the show and I figure it’s about time for me to get some thoughts out there and see if anyone in the fandom finds anything in them useful. So, here goes. Please be kind.<br /><br />Content notes: canon-typical violence, murder and suicide. Intended to be creative (a possibly interesting reading) rather than definitive (what I think canon definitely means). Dramaverse, with a very brief mention of the novel. <br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://waterscroll.dreamwidth.org/25679.html#cutid1">woobie villain thoughts be here</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />Thank you for reading.
