Summary: Wei loves to look at Kunlun — the soft fire in his eyes, and the unruly curtain of hair falling around them, and the way his robes slip off his shoulders and he smiles, bare and shameless. But Wei loves this too — the yellow-green glow behind his eyelids as Kunlun gives and gives until Wei can't take anymore, unseen, everywhere.

It's Kunlun's turn to look at him.

"What do you want from him anyway that got you so terrified?" She raises an eyebrow. "Trying to ask him out?"

all kinds of fanworks are welcome – fic, art, vids, picspams, etc. - including those made for exchanges and events
new chapters of WIPs count
meta or discussion posts, too
whether or not you've already linked these in a post of their own, we still want them here!

Zhao Yunlan sprawled on a couch, grinning at his phone. The background shows a purply sky with stars. Text reads "Slo-Mo Rewatch. Guardian - half an episode per week @ sid-guardian.dreamwidth.org."

Hi, and welcome back to the Guardian drama Slo-Mo Rewatch. Watch half an episode a week, at your leisure, and then come and chat about it here in comments. Or you can just jump into the comments without rewatching, of course!

Here are the previous weeks' rewatch posts.

Episode 5, up to 23:04

Summary
The Chancellor, worried about the university's reputation, tells Shen Wei to move out of the teachers' dorm. The SID team eat popcorn!! Zhao Yunlan and co. investigate a rich bratty young man's mysterious disappearance from his bath. The family butler, Wu Tian'en, arouses suspicions. Shen Wei chooses an apartment over the estate agent's objection that he could do better. (The only flat Shen Wei would consider better is the one across the hall.) The bratty young man's fiancée disappears from her bath, too. Zhao Yunlan interviews Wu Tian'en, who claims to be just a loyal butler. Shen Wei dramatically confronts Wu Tian'en in the street, recognising him from 20+ years ago, and warns him not to touch Zhao Yunlan. The SID needs evidence, but Zhao Yunlan refuses to turn to the Envoy for help; instead, he calls Shen Wei. Wu Tian'en leaves the Huang house because he believe his missing son is back. Cue flashbacks to him searching the city for his son 20 years ago.

Da Qing and Wang Zheng giggling over popcorn.

Da Qing and Wang Zheng giggling over popcorn.

Quote
Zhao Yunlan: Don't they say "Father-son grudges don't last the night"?
(Ha!)

Detail
When Shen Wei warns Wu Tian'en not to touch Zhao Yunlan, he uses the plural "you": "Zhao Yunlan is someone you are not allowed to touch." (赵云澜这个人你们不许动) So Shen Wei sees Wu Tian'en as part of a group who are a potential threat (presumably the missing team he sent after the Hallows).

Questions
Do you have a stand-out favourite scene or quote from the first half of episode 5? Who's your favourite SID team member here? In the popcorn scene, Zhao Yunlan arrives yawning - has he just woken up from a nap? In a meta sense, do you think the others leave Lin Jing behind at the crime scene just because it's funny, or is there something thematic going on? How clearly does Zhao Yunlan recognise Shen Wei through the teashop window, and why doesn't he follow him? What do you think of Wu Tian'en? Did you see any parallels in these scenes with other parts of the drama?

If you're familiar with the novel, any thoughts about how the drama adaptation compares, if at all?

(As usual, these are all just conversation starters - feel free to answer all, some, or none, and to say as much or as little as you like! You don't have to be keeping up with the rewatch to join in. We'd love to hear your thoughts!)

And here is our schedule, where you can sign up to host a post!

Article Link [here].

While I recommend reading the whole article, I'm also going to place a summary copied from tumblr (og post here) under a cut.

( How Crunchyroll is ruining its subtitles, how we got here, and why it matters. )

Considering the average Dreamwidth user probably remembers when Crunchyroll was a piracy site, as well as the golden age of fansubbing, I'm wondering what people's preferred solution for monopolization, and subsequent decrease in quality, of official anime streaming is. Should we focus our efforts more on pressuring Crunchyroll (and streaming services at large) to fix its subtitles, or on re-invigorating and suporting fansub groups and fansub culture?

Along with Vampire Princess Miyu and Ghost Sweeper Mikami, I've been watching some Shaman King and Ajazukin Cha Cha, which stars an adorable magic apprentice named Cha Cha and her mishaps when conjuring anything, dealing with monsters and vampires at times.

The dubbed version aired on Cartoon Network in another country, not sure if it ever did in the US, but there are some episodes uploaded at YouTube if interested.

So Happy Halloween and all that, I'm going back to my own thing.

I've been so busy writing and posting fic that I haven't gotten around to posting about any of the fic anywhere. But I managed to finish posting the last of the October prompts I was planning on doing (all of kink and whumptobers)! So here's everything vaguely Guardian relevant that I posted during October. I tried to group them somewhat coherently but I ran out of energy a little towards the end.

Guardian

Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan

Never Let Go (1416 words)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Additional Tags: During Canon, Misunderstandings, the underlying misunderstanding isn't entirely cleared up, but there is emotional resolution, Telepathic Bond
Summary:

It's probably not a surprise that Zhao Yunlan's dreams are restless that night, after his argument with Shen Wei in the kitchen. After Shen Wei left. He keeps jerking awake, again and again. He can't recall anything specific from the dreams, but he's sure they're about Shen Wei. Shen Wei and someone else.

A Normal State of Affairs (1791 words)
Rating: General Audiences
Additional Tags: Tiny Dragon Shen Wei, Alternate Universe - Creatures & Monsters, Post-Canon, Fluff
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan adores his husband, even when he's a tiny dragon.

On A Normal Day (1089 words)
Rating: General Audiences
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, set after handwavy fix-it, Chronic Illness, Exhaustion, Caretaking, Angst, Bittersweet
Summary:

On a normal day, Shen Wei would have gotten out of bed hours ago. He would have made sure that breakfast is ready for Zhao Yunlan when he wakes up. But this particular morning, none of that is happening.

Alien Abduction (706 words)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Aliens, Alien Abduction, Memory Loss, Kinktober 2025
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan will admit to maybe having had a dream or two about sexy alien abductions. It's the kind of weird and harmless sexual fantasy that isn't ever actually going to happen.

Cold Spell (722 words)
Rating: General Audiences
Additional Tags: No Plot/Plotless, Whumptober 2025, Cold Weather, Dragon Shen Wei, Alternate Universe - Creatures & Monsters
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan rubs his hands together vigorously. It doesn't really feel like it helps; mostly, it kind of hurts. He lifts them up and blows on them a few times, which he isn't sure is actually what you're supposed to do, but he really doesn't care all that much right now.

Fascinating (468 words)
Rating: Mature
Additional Tags: Kinktober 2025, No Plot/Plotless, No Sex, Shen Wei does research, by reading
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan raises his eyebrows as he sees Shen Wei sitting on the couch, tablet in hand, reading it rather attentively. It's most definitely a family tablet, though mostly it's Zhao Yunlan and occasionally Da Qing using it. He's pretty sure he's never seen Shen Wei holding it, unless it's because Zhao Yunlan is trying to show him something on it, or trying to teach Shen Wei how to use it.

You Weren’t Supposed to Die First (1092 words)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Additional Tags: Whumptober 2025, Resurrection, Implied Human Sacrifice, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence
Summary:

Shen Wei waits, his breaths misting in the cold air, as he looks at Zhao Yunlan's body, resting on the cold slab of stone. Maybe, with some stretch of the imagination, it looks like an altar.

Maybe Some Trouble Sleeping (578 words)
Rating: General Audiences
Additional Tags: Whumptober 2025, Side Effects, Medication, Health Issues, sleeping issues, Post-Canon
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan wakes up with a start, cold sweat drenching him, his breath too fast, his heart feeling like it's hammering against his ribs.

Negotiation (267 words)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Additional Tags: Kinktober 2025, No Sex, No Plot/Plotless, they just talk about spanking
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan leans against Shen Wei's side and then plucks the book from his hands, setting it aside. Shen Wei doesn't actually try to stop him, just sighs softly and lifts his eyebrows at Zhao Yunlan, which means he doesn't really mind.

Do You Even Know How to Use That? (369 words)
Rating: General Audiences
Additional Tags: Whumptober 2025, Captivity, Escape, Guns, a tiny little murder
Summary:

The mistake their captors make is thinking Shen Wei would be helpless without his powers.

Kidnapping (2908 words)
Rating: Explicit
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Creatures & Monsters, Tentacles, Kidnapping, Anal Sex, Kinktober 2025, Mildly Dubious Consent, Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan groans as he wakes up. It takes him a second before he remembers what had happened, and when he does, his eyes fly open, but it's too dark to see much of anything. He tries to move, but something is wrapped tightly around his arms and legs, holding him in place.

You Won't Be Able to Look At Me the Same (4125 words)
Rating: Explicit
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Robots & Androids, Kinktober 2025, Whumptober 2025, First Meetings, Worldbuilding, Anal Sex, Hand Jobs, speedrunning getting into a relationship again
Summary:

"You got me a sex robot!?" Zhao Yunlan hisses at Da Qing the moment the door closes behind him. He's not entirely sure how good android hearing is, so it seems like a good idea to try to keep his voice down.

"What? No," Da Qing hisses back, frowning at him.

It's a Good Thing (462 words)
Rating: Mature
Additional Tags: Kinktober 2025, Tentacles, Ye Olde Haixing Era, No Plot/Plotless, No Sex
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan discovers young Shen Wei has tentacles.

Make Me Dizzy (3897 words)
Rating: Explicit
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Always a Different Gender or Sex, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Dildos, Rimming, Anal Play, Shen Wei is a woman, Zhao Yunlan is wearing a miniskirt, Kissing, Young Zhao Yunlan - Freeform
Summary:

"You're a girl," Kunlun mumbles. It's not a difficult mistake to make, to think she's a man, given Shen Wei's current somewhat baggy clothes and her short hair, but Shen Wei's heart lurches. Kunlun hasn't recognised her, but then, how could he?

Worth the Wait (697 words)
Rating: Explicit
Additional Tags: Kinktober 2025, Ye Olde Haixing Era, Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, Anal Sex, First Time
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan feels like he's been waiting forever for Shen Wei to touch him.

Stillness (210 words)
Rating: Mature
Additional Tags: Kinktober 2025, No Sex, Sensory Deprivation
Summary:

Sometimes all Shen Wei needs is quiet.

It’s Very Nice to Meet You (732 words)
Rating: Mature
Additional Tags: Kinktober 2025, No Sex, Alternate Universe - Creatures & Monsters
Summary:

Just Zhao Yunlan trying very hard to seduce the monster lurking in his home.

Shen Wei/Ye Zun

Come Here (408 words)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Additional Tags: handwavy post-canon, Sibling Incest, Kinktober 2025, Kissing
Summary:

"Come here, didi," Shen Wei orders. He rarely, if ever, takes that tone of voice with Ye Zun, and he's not entirely sure how Ye Zun will react.

What Have You Done? (2742 words)
Rating: Mature
Additional Tags: Whumptober 2025, Kinktober 2025, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Knives, Cutting, Blood, Mild Gore, Pain, Dubious Consent, the twin relationship is pretty ambiguous but there is a kiss, and some other dubious touching, Sibling Incest, Captivity, Reconciliation, slightly ambiguous ending
Summary:

Maybe, it shouldn't come as a surprise then that Ye Zun manages to capture him. Or that he takes one look at Shen Wei and asks, "What have you done to yourself?"

Have You Tried Asking? (985 words)
Rating: Mature
Additional Tags: Kinktober 2025, No Sex, Implied/Referenced Incest, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Dubious Consent, Captivity, Angst, Hopeful Ending
Summary:

"We have to capture Ye Zun," Shen Wei says, like that's just something they can do. But Shen Wei assures them that he can make Ye Zun stop what he's doing and 'calm him down' (Shen Wei's words) if they just manage to capture him first.

Ye Zun/Zhao Yunlan

Quiet (387 words)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Additional Tags: Kinktober 2025, No Sex, Post-Canon
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan raises his eyebrows and grins at him. "Am I annoying you by talking too much?"

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Pre-Canon, Time Travel Fix-It, Alternate Universe - Time Travel, injuries, Captivity, Escape, Ye Olde Haixing Era
Summary:

Ye Zun doesn't know what to think of the prisoner they drag into camp. Zhao Yunlan is definitely regretting some choices he's made lately.

Don't Scare Me Like That (773 words)
Rating: General Audiences
Additional Tags: Temporary Loss of Powers, Breathing issues, Whumptober 2025, Caretaking
Summary:

"Hey! Hey, look at me," someone is saying, the voice calm, but insistent. Ye Zun presses his hand to his chest and— "Come on, Ye Zun. Look at me," the voice coaxes him, and Ye Zun turns his gaze towards it.

This Should Teach You (989 words)
Rating: Mature
Additional Tags: Whumptober 2025, slight creature AU, Alternate Universe - Creatures & Monsters, Pre-Canon, Post-Canon, Physical Abuse, Torture, Sensory Overload, Ye Olde Haixing Era, Modern Era, Trauma, brief accidental choking

Summary: The desperate, sloppy wetness of Kunlun's tongue is waking up parts of him he has tried so fiercely to keep hidden, the parts that are not satisfied with the soft, gentle kisses they share sometimes.

The kisses are wonderful, they're so much more than Wei has ever hoped for, and they are enough. They should be enough. Anything more will only make Kunlun see Wei for who he really is — as disgusting as a copulating youchu, and much more dangerous. A youchu can't harm a god; the King of the Gui can.

Summary: "You don't have to deal with it yourself. I'm literally right here."

Shen Wei stares at him, wide-eyed, taken aback, enthralled. Whatever is wrong with him is messing with his usual facade — he's suddenly so open that Zhao Yunlan feels like he can see right into Shen Wei's heart. He should look away. He doesn't want to.

"Your touch— It helps."

Zhao Yunlan sprawled on a couch, grinning at his phone. The background shows a purple sky with stars. Text reads, "Slo-Mo Rewatch. Guardian - half an episode per week @ sid_guardian.dreamwidth.org"

Hi, welcome to this week's instalment of the Guardian drama Slo-Mo Rewatch! Watch half an episode a week, and then come and chat about it here in comments. Or you can just jump into the comments without rewatching, of course!

Here is last week's half-episode. On to the second half!

Episode 4, from 22:30

Summary: Zhao Yunlan finds Lin Yusen laying traps in the park, and scolds him about the danger. Shen Wei pricks his finger, and Zhao Yunlan scolds him about tetanus. Zhao Yunlan offers Lin Yusen a job interview some day in the future if only he goes away now. :p Zhao Yunlan et al. try to track down Zhu Hong's and Da Qing's kidnappers, and Zhu Hong breaks free just as they arrive. Jia Hui proves devoted to fake!Zhang Danni. Zhu Jiu has figured out who Shen Wei is, taunts him about his secrets, and threatens the SID; Shen Wei manages to injure him. Fake Zhang Danni confronts the SID and demands an exchange - Da Qing for Jia Hui. Jia Hui wakes up, tries to protect her, and ends up knocked out at her feet after Chu Shuzhi snatches Da Qing back. She summons her powers - and then Lin Yusen arrives with a Molotov cocktail and blows them all up. The Envoy arrives just in time to contain the explosion, and takes the bodies away. Later he explains to Chu Shuzhi that Lin Yusen had been turned into a bomb due to black and white energy in his body.

The SID car, Chu Shuzhi shouting at Guo Changcheng in the backseat

Quote:

"Once a promise is made, even mountains must move. I promised you, for the sake of the people, for the sake of peace on Haixing, even if my burden is heavy and I walk an eternity alone, I will go on."

(translation meta about this line)

Detail:

I love the deliberate way Shen Wei pricks his finger on Lin Yusen's trap - and most of all, the way he does it without reacting at all, and then after a moment does that little "ouch" indrawn breath to draw attention to his "injury"!

Also, the way he can't help himself and has to laugh when Zhao Yunlan goes off about tetanus! ♥ ♥ ♥

Questions:

What's your favourite moment in this part of the episode? Did anything stand out to you as coming from the novel, apart from Shen Wei's name? Did Zhao Yunlan take Shen Wei to the hospital for his pricked finger? Which SID member has the best moment? Do you have any sympathy for fake Zhang Danni and Jia Hui? What do you think Zhu Jiu hoped to achieve by turning Lin Yusen into a bomb? What was his plan in this episode? Do you agree with Shen Wei taking Lin Yusen's body away without explaining? Any thoughts about the foreshadowing?

(These are all just conversation starters - feel free to answer all, some, or none, and to say as much or as little as you like! You don't have to be keeping up with the rewatch to join in!)

And here is our schedule - please do sign up to host a post if you can!

Been catching up on Vampire Princess Miyu as a way to go with the Halloween thing without doing too much about it. Its still haunting, and it has become one of my all-time favorites. I'm hoping to finally finish the series and the OAV which I also watched way back then on VHS.

(In fact, that was the first time I began watching it.)

I'm also watching episodes of Ghost Sweeper Mikami with the same goal of finishing it up as well.

Anyone here also watching Horror/Supernatural themed Anime this month?

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

This is a bit different because I'm not complaining about my meds, I'm complaining how difficult in the last couple of months it's been to GET THEM.
1st, it was filling delays. They were either out, on order or some other excuse but it never was more than a couple days without. Supply chain issues. Now, it's getting worse. This month I've run out of Cardiac, Diabetes and HIV meds(the latter still hasn't been filled. "Backordered"). Thankfully, the Diabetes meds that were out were the oral so I could titrate with my Insulin.
Last month, after going through Withdrawal symptoms when my Lyrica was out I started weaning myself off it. I'm down to once a day and no more withdrawal. I'd been doin my BP meds every other day until it got filled. Now, it's been almost a week since I've been out of 2 of my HIV meds. 1st time since the late 90's I've missed ANY doses.
A positive situation is that my Partner of 30 yrs is in a nursing home and our last cat died of Cardiac insufficiency so no one depends on me. Well, I feed the neighbor cats but I'm pretty sure they're indoor/outdoor cats so they'll be ok when I'm gone.
I used to joke that when Chuck and the cats were gone I'd just go on Comfort Measures but it looks like it might not be a choice.
Sincerely,
Pat

Dani Chambers who voices Becky Blackbell (One of my favorite characters in the series,) is taking time off voice acting for voice therapy as stated on a post she made on X:

"This isn't permanent but when my voice comes back I can pop back in," Chambers said. "I'm currently in voice therapy to work on getting back to my normal range. But for now, Becky (and other baby voices) will be voice matched."

The announcement came hours before Season 3 of Spy X Family premiered on Crunchyroll.

Meanwhile, Chambers will still be providing her vocal talents to other characters in the show. Alongside voicing Becky Blackbell in Spy x Family, Chambers has also been in the English dubs of Solo Leveling, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, and several video games, including Pokemon Masters and Genshin Impact. - gamesradar
