Oo yay third season!! But totally understandable, there are some definite similarities between the shows and character dynamics! (and also it was fun to see cameos in Under the Skin by the actors who played Zhang Donglai and Du Guosheng in jitd)

Honestly, when you haven’t done it in a little while, starting again is the hardest part, I believe in you!!

My mind is already spinning with possibilities, including: Du Qing and Mu Xiaoqing meet, to the utter mortification of both Luo Wenzhou and Du Cheng

Somewhere out there Luo Wenzhou and Du Cheng are both beginning to feel a prickle of foreboding

I think they would get along!! Also like Shen Yi isn’t actually much like Zhou Huaixing, but maybe he reminds Fei Du of him *just* enough that Fei Du makes friends with him surprisingly fast 🥹

What if I write a jitd/under the skin crossover. What then

Tan Jianci, Zhang Xincheng, and Wang Yuwen talking and laughing together as they sit in the audience for some performance/variety show

Same situation, same people, but now they’re facing forward

There was an interaction with a crush I had years ago and to this day I still don’t know if it was a date lmao, not that it matters anymore But roommate and I might go on a nice hike together later this week so I will continue to put out feelers

RIGHT? I read it at like 6am while being highly insomniac and was not expecting to be hit with the Feelings about Fei Du struggling to be fully honest but trying anyways

(we might have gone on a date the other night? or maybe it was just friend/roommate activities? where we talked in-depth about relationships? who knows. not me, I don't know anything)

LOL I should utilize commas more in my casual writing 😂 (but thank you, I sure have gotten myself into a pickle, it could either go spectacularly well or it could make my current good living situation really awkward for the both of us, What Have I Done)

The nice part of not being able to sleep is when I get to catch a sunrise like this

Window (walls around it are completely dark) with its bottom half covered by an old cotton blanket, and a rolled-up towel resting on top to block the draft. Through the top half, there are silhouettes of tree branches against a sky that is a brilliant orange, pink, and purple

Oh I 100% had a childhood crush on Cary Grant and he was already dead by the time I was born 😂

Right?? I cannot believe I found it for so cheap on a rack at my city’s semiannual night market

Listen it was $40 and it’s 100% wool (aside from the lining), what was I supposed to do, NOT buy it? Also my roommate enabled me

My weakness for cool coats/jackets/outerwear strikes again Anyways I am now in possession of a very cool 1960s Irish wool cape

even worse (better), this is all the MORE excoriating if you think about what luo wenzhou JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT. sheer wall-clawing levels of intensity. also, fun fact: when you watch zhang xincheng closely at the end of this scene, you can see his pulse pounding in his throat! AS IT FUCKING WOULD BE

imagine someone saying this to you and surviving it: “之前你遇到我，也算是一种仪式。你知道我的，你走不出我放不下，不管你愿不愿意，我都得拉住你。你躲不掉我的。” "…you know what i'm like—you can't run away, and i'm not going to let you go. like it or not, i'm holding onto you. there's no getting rid of me." DID YOU KNOW LUO WENZHOU INVENTED LOVE

lwz telling fei du he's never letting go of him, now. fei du looking up at him like he's never felt whatever this emotion is in his life before. #jitd

Man I don't really like either of Yingluo's romance options, I just want her and Mingyu and the Empress to live together in peace 🥲

Hahaha no no you’re right, and I actually really enjoy the challenge of “how can I do this in the fewest words possible“ so maybe!!

LOL I too had a day at my bookstore job when some woman came asking for a book with only the description that she 1) heard about it on the radio and 2) was about a father and son Within like 5 minutes I’d found the review on the NPR website

Please imagine the department going for drinks and trying to stump him with increasingly ridiculous descriptions
