The Way This Show Was Basically All The Noble Men Of Lan Jue's Dating History.

The way this show was basically all the noble men of Lan Jue's dating history.

And on top that, the show works equally well as an argument for polyamory or harem dynamics in fanfic.

A League of Nobleman is one of the best mystery shows I've ever seen and is excellent just for what it is. Good noir mystery, beautifully shot. But like Tang Dynasty noir, which should certainly be a thing there is more of. Like I absolutely recommend this to anyone, even if you're not familiar with cdramas, or not looking for subtextual media to fall in to.

But also I would watch 900 hours of a prequel of 'Wang Yan loves Lan Jue.' Literally give me 900 hours of Lan Jue reading and sipping tea while Wang Yan gazes at him from across the tiny creek running through Lan Jue's insane compound. Let Wang Yan whisper "Peizhi" with the intimacy using a birth name instead of a courtesy name deserves in their culture. Hearing it, Lan Jue would glance up and see that Wang Yan wanted nothing more than his attention, however briefly. Lan Jue would smile and pour Wang Yan a little more tea before returning to whatever he was reading.

But seriously, straight from the show itself, the way they interact is incredible. Man, there's no heterosexual explanation for this. Like none at all.

I have watched this vid so many times because I can't get enough of these gazes. Two people who so clearly like each other, so happy to be together, and so entangled every emotion is possible.

You should watch this show. For reasons. Whatever they may be. Even if it's just because you like a good mystery and beautifully shot television.

sorry, can't today. the narrative forces aren't aligned

i just read about the "narcissism of small differences," aka the idea that the more a community has in common, the more likely the people in it are to engage in interpersonal feuds and mutual ridicule because of hypersensitivity to minor differences perceived in each other, and i knew there was a reason my time in academia and fandom felt oddly similar lmao
