Li Lianhua says he built the Lotus Tower out of a wrecked boat, and that's apparently one of the rare times he tells the truth, because production has put nautical details here and there. Like those block and tackles hanging in the background. I'm a bit bothered by the facts this is the first time I see them*, but it's a nice touch!
(*is it a me problem or did production randomly throw them in)

We don't get much of the story around this character, and what we get is almost completely told through his costumes. In flashbacks he wears white well fitted hanfu with gold details. In the 'now' his clothes are baggier, and have large patches that look worn to the threads. I may be on thin ice since the technique making those patches could be expensive, but it looks like the fall of the Sigu sect hit him extra hard.

White clothes are not uncommon in Mysterious Lotus Casebook, and the characters wear them for all sorts of reasons. But if you're not Asian there are a few scenes where you probably should imagine the character in black to get the full impact*. One is when Li Lianhua sits beside his shifu's grave, and this one where Fang Doubing learns some sad facts about his family.
(*see toot below)

Has anyone written a crossover fanfic for Mysterious Lotus Casebook and Living Big In A Tiny Home yet*? I know it's not entirely ok to include real persons, but having Bryce go
"It's so important to have good ventilation when you're cooking indoors, isn't it? And you have quite a lot of storage too!"
as Li Lianhua lies through his teeth, Fang and Guan are wideeyed helpful, and Di Feisheng glares daggers would be so fun!
(*I don't have time)

While it is within realistic proportions Li Xiangyi still wears a monstrous guan. Li Lianhua, on the other hand, usually winds a twig around his topknot. One of those small details that says a lot about the character.

Production: Huhuhu! We put Li Lianhua in a wedding dress!
Ooodles of fans; What if... it was real though 👀
Production: Adding angelic singing to the scene would certainly add to the humorous note.
Fans sweating buckets of hormones: OMG It is real!
(In short: fandoms are adorable and need to be protected at all cost.)

Is it possible to find women vloggers who alone*
•hike
•go on camping
•bike
•trek
I'm looking for inspiration, and YT keep throwing dudes at me. Nothing wrong with dudes, but I try to get a feel for what problems a woman face. It's usually little stuff like how to keep a hairbrush for long hair, handle laundry etc.
Tips and boosts are welcome!
(*women who do this with a family or partner are easier to find, but I am neither)

Hm. I just noticed Di Feisheng's mask covers his left-hand side of his face, whereas Li Lianhua's (not in pic) covers Li's right-hand side. Took me a while, since Di's is made out of leather (cuir bouilli I think) and Li's is ornate silver. Anyway, the amount of fan fic this moment alone have launched must be epic!

Props to bishop Budde for pointing out that while she may have cause for concern, a lot of other people are in far greater danger, and that we should concentrate on them.

So, bishop Budde asked for mercy on immigrants, queer groups and a lot of others Trump and the Republicans have targeted. That is so milquetoast it glows in the dark! She could have called for dismantling of captitalism and toppling of the entire gang listening, using support from both OT and NT. Yet the Republicans are furious. That's a good proof their top layer is masquerading as Christans to lure in support - there's nothing honest in their "faith".

Thing that made me go of course today; Chinese speakers on tumblr teaching outsiders new to XHS how to adress someone in a respectfully horny way.
It was bound to happen.
I just didn't expect to see it a quiet Sunday morning before breakfast.

One of Mysterious Lotus Casebook's strengths is in the acting - which is hard to catch in a still. But here I have a good sample. Let me translate for you
Di Feisheng: Oh, you little bitch!
Li Lianhua: And I'm going to keep on being a bitch until I get what I want, you big ass!
(This is a scene of the kind that can send actors into laughing hysterics if the tension overloads. I'm actually impressed they keep composure.)

The Lotus Tower really is something! This is the roof where we have a pavillion with a bed for hot weather sleeping, ginseng drying (those bushy things up in the upper left corner), and a friggin' stone mill (down right)! Li Lianhua may be a bad chef, but he's got building and making down pat!

Some of us can't pay that cost due to poverty (induced by a lot of different things). Coincidentally it's usually these people who makes this place the goofy and informative place it is - because they have time to to write stuff about whatever's their passion.
So if you can I suggest pay your piece of server cost +1. That'll cover another goof, and still be an affordable sum. Oh, and bring your own goofiness* - this is a party!

Welcome to mastodon!
This is a potluck.
It's increasingly clear that a lot of commercial social platforms are like restaurants that feed you for free in exchange for you allowing yourself to be manipulated. On mastodon we share the costs for our server. It's usually a fairly low cost per person, say $2/mo*, and on an honour basis. The payoff is no ads and no large scale manipulation**

(*cost varies between servers)
(**individual trolls may still appear)
