Welcome aboard for this week's chapters of our Guardian readalong!

Here are last week's chapters. You can find all previous discussions on the schedule post (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5), or via the !readalong tag.

This week's chapters:

Chapter 21: The Yanluo Kings want to use Zhao Yunlan's heart's blood as the Guardian Lantern's wick, but the yao storm the Yanluo Courts under the leadership of Fourth Uncle, and likewise the daoists and assorted other immortals who were present at Kunlun Mountain. Ghost Face and various gui break free from the Wangchuan, and Shen Wei's trap is sprung. Zhao Yunlan half learns, half figures out Shen Wei's plan, and Zhu Hong clarifies Zhao Yunlan's feelings for Shen Wei. Ghost Face blows himself up.
Chapter 22: Guo Changcheng and Chu Shuzhi fight various youchu (including the fake rogue cultivator) with the combined might of fear stick and zombie powers, then escape to the top of the mountain, but end up in trouble there again anyway. Meanwhile, Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan and Lin Jing run into Daqing, escape from the Netherworld, and find SID and other people waiting for them. Shen Wei plans to re-seal the Four Pillars with the Hallows, and Zhao Yunlan tells Shennong's mortar to take his place and take care of his parents. Everyone comes together to help Shen Wei.

The corresponding part in the Chinese version on JJWXC/the fan translation starts a little less than half-way through chapter 102 and goes up to a little less than half-way through chapter 105.

Excerpts:

( 1) Zhu Hong defends Zhao Yunlan against the Yanluo Kings' designs )

( 2) Shen Wei is caught out )

( 3) Zhu Hong and Shen Wei have a rapprochement )

( 4) Speech time for Ghost Face )

( 5) Chu Shuzhi weaponises Guo Changcheng's fear )

( 6) Shen Wei addresses the crowd )

( 7) Zhao Yunlan's request for Shennong's mortar )

Questions:

What do you think of Shen Wei's plans? Or of the way he acts towards Zhao Yunlan? Is it satisfying seeing all the different characters coming together again? Are you following everything that's going on? How annoyed are you that we don't learn how Lin Jing made it to the Yanluo Courts in one piece? Any thoughts about Ghost Face exploding himself, and what the drama made out of that? Which of the things that has a direct parallel in the drama is your favourite bit of adaptation?

(As usual, these are just conversation starters - feel free to answer all, some, or none, and to say as much or as little as you like!)

玩玩
Only very tangentially related to Chinese language study, but this is an artist I happened to meet in person a little while back and thought her work was gorgeous—sort of a Chinese Osias Beert in a way (very random analogy). Couldn’t find very much of it online, sadly.

夏天好长啊，但是至少我现在听不到蝉鸣，蝉鸣的声音我就是最讨厌的。大家过的怎么样？

Name: Zumi
Pronouns: They/them
Age Group: 40s
Country USA
Subscription/Access Policy: Public posts in general, with some members-locked ones. Everyone is free to add, though!
What I chat about: Usually whatever random thoughts are going on, particularly any fandom thoughts I have. I want to post more often, particularly in talking about a couple creative projects I've got going on. So, pretty much anything I feel like posting...? With heavy irregularity; it's not unusual for me to go weeks without using my journal, so don't be concerned if I vanish off the face of DW for a while.
I'm looking to connect with people who: Want to chat, whether about random things or fandom things (even if non-shared fandoms). Collaborators, other creators, or people who just want to have ordinary conversations! I'm not that interested in taking part in discourse or anti culture, and I don't tend to post many negative things myself, but if you wanna chat about something and get it off your chest, that's also fair game.

Main Fandoms: Disney Ducks (particularly the wider Uncle $crooge comicsverse) is a big one, as is Fraggle Rock. Pokemon and Digimon are also huge ones cohabitating in my brain. Oh! And also Megaman, especially the EXE series. These are all pretty equally big fandoms in my book. And Red Dead Redemption 2 and RDO; looking to play RDR1 someday, but that's a little out of my reach right now.

Other Fandoms: Dimension 20, Skyrim, Dungeon Meshi, Fullmetal Alchemist, Animal Crossing, Dreamlight Valley, Undertale and Deltarune, Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts, In Stars and Time, Stardew Valley, The Sims, Sherlock Holmes, assorted other older anime, Dragonlance, DnD as a whole, assorted Disney franchises, assorted Dreamworks franchises, been really getting into CBS's Ghosts, really I've been in fandom spaces for a long time there's a LOT here, I KNOW I'm forgetting some...
What I Create for Fandom: Fanart, for the most part. The occasional fic, but mostly it's drawing.
Other Hobbies: Reading, photography, hiking, fishing, video games, painting

Outlaw of the Outer Stars by John C. Wright

The adventures continue!

( Read more... )

Stopped off at Bicton Park Botanical Gardens on my drive down to Exmouth at the weekend, and although the sky was full of featureless white cloud, and the light really horrible for photography, had a fabulous time wandering round the gardens. There are a few pretty flower beds in the Italian Garden and the Rose Garden, but Bicton is not really a flower garden. It's a place to visit if you love conifers, or strange things growing in glasshouses.

( Contestants under the cut! )

Name: Bizette

Age: 20

I mostly post about: My characters, my art, my life, and just whatever interests me that day.

My hobbies are: Making art, HTML, anime and manga, video games, writing, listening to music, talking with friends, cycling, reading comics, daydreaming and baking.

My fandoms are: None tbh, but I guess I'm part of the glamfur and sparkledog scenes :P

I'm looking to meet people who: Chill folk who can handle my cheesiness, fellow glamfur/sparkledog or even animecore artists who like RPing, other lesbians and gays, and mature individuals who can engage in good faith.

My posting schedule tends to be: Daily and weekly for the most part due to not having a life, lol

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Fandom/flavour-of-the-month/fanfiction posting, constant politics talk or arguing about politics, YouTube spam, homophobes and lesbophobes, bigots of all stripes, bad grammar and spelling, inactive accounts/blank journals, Twitter/TikTok types, white saviour types, religious weirdos, gooners/porn addicts, AI "art" bros, and wannabe edgy lords/mean girls (this ain't 4Chan, blud!).

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a black woman with ADHD and Dyslexia; so please be patient with me and try not to be randomly racist lmao. I do post vents, but only when I feel it's appropriate. I'm basically always free to chat; so feel free to message me :D, I do have an edgy sense of humour, but I'm smart enough to tone it down if needed, I'm based in the UK - so I might not see your message immediately if you're in a different timezone, and please avoid labelling me a furry :/

Name: Patch
Age: 34

I mostly post about:
Quiet living, books with margin notes, tea blends, visible mending, soft rituals, and the small things that anchor a day — light through curtains, a sentence that stays with you, a note Rae once wrote.

My hobbies are:
Reading (especially secondhand or annotated books), mending clothes by hand, brewing tea like it’s a spell, walking in the woods, archiving, journalling, and noticing the in-between moments.

My fandoms are:
Discworld (especially the witches), gentle fantasy, soft folklore, The Last Unicorn, Stardew Valley, and anything that feels like wool and wonder.

I'm looking to meet people who:
Love longform blogging, notice quiet details, have soft rituals of their own, and enjoy the kind of friendship that builds slowly and kindly over time.

My posting schedule tends to be:
Weekly-ish — sometimes more if I’m feeling thoughtful or tea-drowsy.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Cruelty masked as “honesty,” bigotry, mockery, or a lack of care for the softer parts of others.

Before adding me, you should know:
I’m quiet and sentimental, I tag generously, and I write as if I’m tucking things away in a drawer. Rae (she/her) appears often in my posts — she’s someone I love, even if I rarely say it aloud. If you like slow friendships and soft mornings, I’d be glad to meet you.

I work at a grocery store and write and read in my spare time. My deepest loves are studying languages, music, lore and fairytales from various cultures, maths and babbling about Star Wars and Doctor Who.

Happy Autumn!!! 🍁🎶🐋⛈️🌲
