  • From period Snape this might as well be a love confession...

    Her intelligence is pretty damn good tho, because later she manages to thwart evil dowager through some impressive legalese...

    And we see the OTP scheme and discuss together. MMMMM

  • Not gonna lie, Jiang Xuening launching into legalese in front of everyone’s salads was cool as fuck.

    I love a man of his word!

  • I mean, it does take him a while, but once he starts *ahem* polishing her, he really cannot stop.

  • I love how her understandable tendency to think the worst of him is slowly dissipating.

    You see her freak, clearly thinking he's gonna harm her but...

    image

    Your tiny scratch is a terrible injury says the man who probably bathes in blood on the reg. You got it bad, dude!

    image

    Their chemistry is insane. Insane. Also, the way he looks at her!

    Man just lay your heart at her feet...

    image

    What do you want to polish exactly...

    image

    I mean he does have those long, deft, qin-playing fingers. Might as well put them to use...polishing.

    But also the way he basically tells her how he was so disappointed when in the capital she was not the awesome blood-feeding, qin-breaking self!!!! The bit in life 1 where he told her he only paid attention to her in the capital to see if she remembered what he said when delirious and so whether she needed to be killed and he was so pleased she was a shallow moron, was SUCH A LIE SUCH A LIE it turns out!!!

    God, this is such a love confession and a glorious thing is neither of them realizes it at all.

    You know it's love if he's offering to teach Ms Tin Ear and Lead Fingers his precious precious qin.

    I ship them so muccccchhhh, he is such an awkward murder nerd yearning for love!

  • I love their fights. It's glorious when he loses his temper, but of course it gets her hackles up too.

    The way they are picking at each other!

    Young man, "I am not afraid of cats, I just loathe and hate them," is not the comeback you think it is.

    But the thing is, while he can lose his temper spectacularly, he can also do something rare - apologize wholeheartedly. That's rare enough for a period man, let alone one as powerful and fucked up as he is. He asks her and when the answer is clearly yes:

    image
    image

    He delivers one of the most thorough apologies I've seen in a while, none of that "sorry you were offended" nonsense. He provides an apology but not an excuse (an explanation yes, excuse no.)

    Rebel vampire or not, this is a keeper.

  • It's pretty amazing how fast Mr "I rebelled and took over and supposedly will kill you for breathing wrong" XW melts for our Ning-er (who he is the only suitor to call that.) I mean, he finds her eavesdropping on a crucial convo and first words out of his mouth are "give me a reason not to kill you" and he is genuinely asking. (But also her face to see him with that dagger; it must be bringing past life memories.)

    image
    image
    image

    And all it takes is her telling she won't tell anyone, which is an insane thing to rely on, and he puts away his dagger!

    And then she's brave (or insane) enough to argue with him - to get information she literally says she will announce his secrets to a man who just supposedly almost killed her for same and all he does is bicker. OMG. She is so his weakness!

    Oh murder sweetheart, yes yes yes you are. For her.

    image
    image

    And then he yells at her for a variety of things but he doesn't harm a hair on her head. Even his underlings are beginning to wonder:

    image

    image

    Oh, costume Snape, you got it BAD!!!!

    PS I love that he may be a bad boy but he's also a feminist. WWWWWOOOOO!

    This is his reaction to being told some other teacher made them learn how women should be meek instead of politics.

  • On 28 November 1919, Faye Schulman, photographer and Jewish resistance partisan, was born in Lenin, Poland (now Belarus). In 1942, the Nazis murdered 1,850 Jews in the Lenin ghetto, leaving only Faye and 25 others alive, making Schulman take and develop photos of the massacre. Covertly she made copies of the photographs for herself. She soon fled and joined the partisan resistance, serving as a fighter and nurse. While on a raid in Lenin with her unit, Schulman managed to retrieve her camera equipment, and then began documenting the resistance movement, developing her photos under blankets. “I want people to know that there was resistance. Jews did not go like sheep to the slaughter. I was a photographer. I have pictures. I have proof.” Schulman survived the war and moved to Canada, eventually passing away on April 24, 2021, aged 101.“
