Things that bring me joy

Something In The Rain

I watched episode 3 yesterday and it was fantastic. I’m all heart-eyes about it. :)

Minor spoilers behind the cut

The main couple seriously exceeds my expectation for adorable. The whole episode I was rooting for them, no, not to kiss, just to hold hands. That scene in the car brought me so much frustrated joy.... And then Jin-ah finally took Joon-hee by the hand under the table in the pub and my heart almost burst with happiness. I love them so much.

Also the drama gets so much points from me for not dragging out the misunderstanding from the beginning of the episode when Jin-ah thinks that Joon-hee is not interested in her and Joon-hee thinks Jin-ah wants to go back to her ex-boyfriend.



Guardian

Thanks to sid_guardian’s friending meme I have a few new people in my circle and more wonderful Guardian posts on my reading page.


Beseeching fires all night long – Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan fic by yantantether. It’s exactly how I like hurt/comfort fics – heavy on the comfort. :)



SCI

I’m in the middle of re-watch and keep discovering new things to be excited about. Also I found out that there is another translation of the novel here. I read the same two chapters as before and that translation is so much better.


Two SCI fanvids:

This one is Bai Yutong/Zhan Yao

I want it, I got it


This one is the general SCI fanvid

East of Eden

It’s really great and it’s made by the same person that made one of my favorite Guardian fanvids – Man on a mission

The friending meme has brought me a lot of joy too. It's so nice to he able to obsess with others over Guardian. I haven't had that for a fandom for a while.

Me, too. The last fandom I was active in, before Guardian, was in 2016. Then RL happened and I had a long break in fannish life. And just as I started slowly to come back into it last year, Guardian happened. And I'm so happy it did. :)

*bookmarks the SCI translation like woah*

And same, Guardian fandom over here is giving me a lot of joy, too.

I'm so happy I found this new translation. It renewed my enthusiasm for reading the novel. I don't really have much time during the week, but I know what I will be doing on weekend. :)

I might wait until it's a bit further along, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on.

Ooh, thanks for linking to the translation! I've added it to my Wattpad library.

I'm glad I found it. I'm curious about the novel and now I actually want to read it. :)
