"I used to wonder if it wouldn't be better just to haul off and quit hoping. Just protect my own inner brain, my own mind and heart, by drawing it up into a hard knot, and not having any more hopes or dreams at all. Pull in my feelings, and call back all of my sentiments... and, yet … the pleasures, and the displeasures, the good times and the bad, are really all there is to me.

[They] are the yeast that always starts working in your mind again... and then, all at once, no matter what has happened to you, you are building a brand new world again, based and built on the mistakes, the wreck, the hard luck and trouble of the old one."

– Woody Guthrie, in A Race Of Singers by Bryan K Garman

[personal profile] china_shop posting in [community profile] sid_guardian
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 4, up to 22:30

Summary
Zhao Yunlan catches Shen Wei at a crime scene and takes him back to the SID for questioning. Zhu Hong and Chu Shuzhi both have a crack at it, but Shen Wei is unflappable. Zhao Yunlan lets him go. Lin Jing complains about the lack of evidence. Chu Shuzhi and Xiao-Guo catch Lin Yusen at the morgue, and the SID questions him. Lin Yusen takes Zhao Yunlan to see a crime scene, and on the way, Shen Wei joins them. During a minor attack, Shen Wei's arm is cut; he heals it in front of Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei, and the supposed victim of the attack go to a tea shop; Zhao Yunlan is unconvinced by the victim's story but assigns Xiao-Guo to walk her home. Her boyfriend is jealous. Zhu Hong sets herself up as bait in a sting. Meanwhile, Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei take a night-time stroll patrol the area and talk about names and intimate friendship. <3 <3 <3 Then everyone is decoyed/captured/drugged, all at once. Zhu Jiu dark-energy-glues Shen Wei's feet to the ground.



Quote
Zhao Yunlan: If my mum knew I had an intellectual like you as a friend, she'd be bursting with joy.
Shen Wei: What's precious between friends is intimacy. If she saw you now, she would definitely be happy.

Detail
I love the juxtaposition of: 1) Zhao Yunlan being inadvertently distracted by Lin Yusen, 2) Shen Wei's foot being stuck to the ground, and 3) Zhu Jiu's lurking, while elsewhere 4) Da Qing is drugged with poisonous gas, 5) Chu Shuzhi runs towards the screams only to find they're a recording, 6) Zhu Hong is kidnapped, 7) Lin Jing watches helplessly from his lab, and 8) Chu Shuzhi speeds back to the site of the sting to find Zhu Hong gone.

Questions
Do you have a stand-out favourite scene or quote from the first half of episode 4? A favourite part of the interrogation scene, specifically? Are there any other SID members you would have liked to see interrogate Shen Wei? (*koff* all of them!! *koff*) Do you sympathise with Lin Yusen? How does Zhao Yunlan justify to himself allowing Shen Wei to join the investigation, after telling Lin Yusen, "A professional's job should be done by professionals"? If you can remember your first watch, did you find Zhang Danni suspicious at this stage? Does Zhao Yunlan know Zhu Hong and the others have set a trap for the serial killer? How could they have set their trap more effectively? Who do you think is the most competent member of the SID (excluding Zhao Yunlan), at this stage? How heart-clutchy is the "intimate friendship" conversation on a scale of 1 to 10,000? If you're familiar with the novel, any thoughts about how the drama adaptation compares?

(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!

Background info

Yanagiwara Byakuren (1885-1967)

Oct. 17th, 2025 10:08 pm
nnozomi: (pic#16721026)
[personal profile] nnozomi posting in [community profile] senzenwomen
Yanagiwara Byakuren was born in 1885 in Tokyo, originally named Akiko, the child of Count Yanagiwara Sakimitsu and his concubine Okutsu Ryo. Her aunt Naruko was a concubine of the Meiji Emperor and the mother of his heir. In 1900 Akiko was pulled out of school to marry Viscount Kitakoji Suketake, but she found him both cruel and childish, and five years later, divorced at the age of twenty and leaving her son Isamitsu with her ex-husband’s family, she returned home.

She began to attend the Toyo Eiwa Girls’ School, where she became friends with Muraoka Hanako, as well as studying waka poetry with Sasaki Nobutsuna and his group, encountering luminaries like Ishikawa Takuboku and Yosano Akiko.

As a nobleman’s daughter and one of the famed “Three Beauties” of the period (along with Kujo Takeko, later a close friend of hers, and Hayashi Kimuko), Akiko was a desirable quantity even as a bluestocking divorceé. In 1917 she was married again to Ito Den’emon, a Kyushu coal miner turned self-made mine owner twenty-five years older than she, who paid her family a colossal bride-price. She found herself living with a collection of his and his relatives’ children as well as his mistresses in various guises, doing her best to have her stepdaughter Shizuko educated at her alma mater, but finding life there very difficult. Isolated, lonely, abused and bored in Ito’s luxurious residence in the Chikushi coal fields, Akiko threw herself into her poetry, adopting the pen name Byakuren or “white lotus.” Her first collection, Fumie (the name of the icons Japanese Christians were forced to tread on to prove they had given up the faith) had been published in 1915; by 1919 she had published two more collections and a play.

It was through her play’s serialization in the magazine Kaiho [Liberation] that she met its editor Miyazaki Ryusuke. Seven years younger than she, the son of the philosopher and social activist Miyazaki Toten, Ryusuke took after his father’s socialist tendencies. In 1921, Byakuren traveled with her husband Ito for a visit to Tokyo. Ito returned first to Kyushu; after seeing him off, Byakuren disappeared—but not before writing him a Dear John letter and having it published in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper. (“This is the last letter I shall write to you as your wife… I have chosen this path through the dictates of the best of my rationality and bravery.” Outlining her efforts to make her marriage work and her misery in Ito’s household, she went on “Fortunately, I have been granted someone who loves me, and through that love I am trying to recover myself now… With all my strength I now bid farewell to you, ignorer of women’s personal dignity, and leave you in order to protect and develop my individual freedom and honor. PS: I am sending my jewels back to you by registered mail.”) She and Ryusuke had eloped. Sensational in all its aspects, the event became known as the “Byakuren Incident.”

Her birth family tracked them down and kept her prisoner in their home for some time, during which her (and Ryusuke’s) son Kaori was born. In 1923 she and Den’emon were officially divorced; she and Ryusuke promptly married. He was ill for some years with tuberculosis, during which time Byakuren kept the family afloat with her writing while her mother-in-law Tsuchi saw to the house and the children (Tsuchi, who had more or less eloped with her husband Toten and seen their family through the ups and downs incurred by his passionate activism, was an old hand at all this). After Ryusuke’s recovery, he returned to political activism while Byakuren continued to write and publish poetry and short stories, starting a poetry magazine in 1934. Their daughter Fuki was born in 1925; she and Byakuren’s son with her first husband, Kitakoji Isamitsu, both became poets in adulthood (Isamitsu, whose feelings about his mother remained complicated to the last, spent some of his adolescence living with her new family).

In 1945, four days before the end of World War II, Kaori was killed on the battlefield. In response, Byakuren formed a bereaved mothers’ association which developed an international reach in its work toward peace and international understanding. She died in 1967 at the age of eighty-two, tended in her old age by Ryusuke and Fuki. (The former Ito residence was opened to the public in 2007, featuring a ceremony in which Ito Den’emon’s grandson Dennosuke, Shizuko’s son, shook hands with Akiko’s grandson Koseki.)

Write Every Day: Day 17

"Because in the age of likes and follows, we have confused the reward of creating with the reward of being praised for creating, and why wouldn’t we? Our culture has never celebrated aspiring. Our culture celebrates markers of success. You meet a writer at a party. Oh, have you ever been published? When we could ask: what are the stories that inspire you? What is the story you most want to tell? We have to rewire the way we talk about art, the way we think about artists. The job of the artist is not to skip to the good part. The job of the artist is to make art when no one gives a damn, when no one likes or follows, when we are not being comforted by compliments and praise."

– Leigh Bardugo, via TedX

My day 17: I added 617 words to my flashfic. The story is supposed to be a little missing scene about time travel. Perhaps inevitably, given one of the characters is a deposed king, politics has reared its head, so it's still going. Oops! Not to worry, I still have plenty of time to finish it.

I also slightly tweaked a gift fic. I was thinking about the question of how to portray emotional beats/responses, showing without telling. In tandem with that, I started wondering if my POV characters have been tending too cerebral lately. Do you prefer characters to think through the implications of things or just to gut-reaction? (Does it depend on the character?) How do you express emotional beats? Are your descriptions primarily physiological (pulse, breath, etc) or something else? Do you have a technique for conveying feelings as they arise, or is this just something you do instinctively?

As well as writing, I went with Andrew (partner) to our favourite outdoor cafe (which is being forced to close down in a few months, oh no!) and sat in the blustery northwesterly, then did grocery shopping. This evening our friend is coming over for the last two episodes of Kdrama Low Life, and I'm making enchiladas.

Welcome to Write Every Day! I'm [personal profile] china_shop, and I'll be your host for October Part 2! (Much, much thanks to [personal profile] cornerofmadness for sharing the month with me. ♥)

For the regulars who have been doing this a while and just want the details: I'm on NZDT (UTC+13), and I plan to post between 4pm and 6pm local time, which should line up pretty well with [personal profile] cornerofmadness's posts. Please comment on the most recent post, and specify what day(s) you're checking in for.

For everyone else: what is Write Every Day and how does it work? )

I go to London Writer's Salon Antipodean Writers' Hour on weekdays, and that usually starts off with an encouraging/inspirational quote. Here's one someone shared a while back.
"When you go mountain climbing, the first thing you’re told is not to look at the peak, but to keep your eyes on the ground as you climb. You just keep climbing patiently one step at a time. If you keep looking at the top, you’ll get frustrated. 
"I think writing is similar. You need to get used to the task of writing. You must make an effort to learn to regard it not as something painful, but as routine."
–Akira Kurosawa, via The Script Lab




My goals and check-in
This morning I wrote 1,028 words of flashfic for the current "Brilliant" round of [community profile] fan_flashworks. I'll finish it tomorrow, and then... has anyone seen Bon Appétit, Your Majesty who'd be willing to beta? :-)

Writing goals for the rest of month include not stuffing up my arms, so this afternoon I walked along a local mountain-bike trail, through the trees, then met up with my partner for hot drinks and chocolate brownie by the sea. The weather has been cold, wet and windy lately, but yesterday and today the sun finally came out. Yay!

Other goals for the next 16 days: finish my flashfic, finish a treat I started for [community profile] guardian_wishlist, sign up for Yuletide, and write something for the next (amnesty) round at [community profile] fan_flashworks. Other than that, I'll see where the spirit takes me.

How about you? Did you write today?

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 3, from 23:25

Summary: Zhao Yunlan goes to Shen Wei to confirm the identity of the third student involved in what happened to Zhang Ruonan. (Which involves gesturing with a letter opener, because Zhao Yunlan. :D) He arrives back just in time to find Wang Yike killing Liu Yidong. Oops. Zhang Ruonan physically tackles Zhao Yunlan and confesses to the murders herself to stop him from catching Wang Yike. Meanwhile Wang Yike has decided Shen Wei is suspicious (well ...), and the SID arrives just in time to intervene in her attack in him. Zhang Ruonan accidentally touches Wang Yike's bare hand and has most of her life energy drained. They have a tearful goodbye, and everyone is very affected. Afterwards, we discover that someone secretly neutralised Wang Yike's power, and that despite being taken away by the Envoy, Shen Wei nonetheless brought her to reunite with Zhang Ruonan.

Shen Wei saves Zhang Ruonan

And then we start a new case! There's a series of murders where the victims' faces are turned completely blank. Zhao Yunlan et al. are investigating. (Lin Jing and Zhu Hong both seem to be mostly complaining. :p) Meanwhile Shen Wei is searching for the Hallows, and encounters Zhu Jiu for the first time. Following screams, the SID finds a cowering woman, and ... Shen Wei.

Quote:

Let me just offer you two contrasting quotes, because damn, the range:
  • "Professor Shen said a stolen life is hard to maintain, but a promise can remain constant for thousands of years. Chief says such a relationship is called 'Guarding'. It's even more passionate than love and greater than familial love. I hope I can stay at the SID and become someone who can guard everyone."

  • "Ever seen a snake who likes to walk?"
Detail:

Lin Jing's map when he's tracking Wang Yike's phone shows the location of the university within Dragon City, on the northern side of the river. This aligns with Zhu Hong saying in episode 4 that the university is in the north!

Questions:

What's your favourite moment in this part of the episode? Did anything stand out to you as coming from the novel?

What was Zhao Yunlan thinking, leaving Zhang Ruonan with Liu Yadong unguarded, when he already suspected Liu Yadong? Is this the first time Zhao Yunlan has sympathised with a Dixingren? How often does the Envoy secretly let people go? How did Zhang Ruonan know about Dixing? Do you ship Zhang Ruonan and Wang Yike? When did Shen Wei decide to move closer to Zhao Yunlan?

For the start of the next case, why are Shen Wei, Zhu Jiu and the SID all in the same area? And finally, have you ever seen a snake who likes to walk? *g*

(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!

Otsuma Kotaka (1884-1970)

Oct. 10th, 2025 08:06 pm
nnozomi: (pic#16721026)
[personal profile] nnozomi posting in [community profile] senzenwomen
Otsuma Kotaka was born in 1884 in a Hiroshima village, the youngest of six children; her maiden name was Kumada. Because she was born at rice-planting time, she went nameless for five months until her family had a moment to submit a notice of her birth (“Kotaka” is said to have been a dialect corruption of “komatta ko” or “problem child”). Bright and hardworking, orphaned by fourteen, she became an elementary school teacher after finishing what we would now call junior high school, studying sewing on the side.

In 1901 she quit her job and set off for Tokyo, staying with an uncle’s family while she trained in Japanese and Western sewing (she had hoped to study math and physics, but was told it wasn’t womanly) and simultaneously studied for her formal elementary teaching qualifications. A full-fledged teacher by twenty-two, she took up a job in Kamakura.

In 1907 she married Otsuma Ryoma, an ex-military public building contractor who was then thirty-six. They were introduced by a cousin of hers, who ran Kotaka and Ryoma through a simplified marriage ceremony almost before Kotaka had realized that it was anything more than an initial meeting. On their way home, Ryoma invited a horrified Kotaka to visit the Ueno Exposition with him; they explored in silence, ate an awkward bowl of noodles, and he saw her back to her uncle’s house and left her there.

The two eventually did move in together; with Ryoma’s cooperation, Kotaka opened a sewing school in their new house, which became very popular. Eventually, overflowing their downstairs, it became the Tokyo Women’s Handcraft School and then the officially accredited Otsuma School of Handcrafts (whose motto was “Have some shame” or “Don’t be a disgrace”), moving into its own building in 1918. Three years later the school received governmental approval as the Otsuma Higher Girls’ School. In the 1920s and 1930s Kotaka published how-to sewing manuals that became bestsellers.

During the war, an Otsuma education was held up as the model training for ryosai kenbo or the “good wives, wise mothers” considered the Japanese woman’s ideal form. Afterward, Kotaka was purged for some time due to her support for the wartime Japanese government. She was later, however, to receive various imperial awards for her services to education; the Otsuma foundation now includes education for girls from junior high through graduate school, with a focus on home economics. Kotaka died in 1970, incidentally outliving her husband by over forty years.

Wishlist! I made things! :D

china_shop: Zhao Yunlan stretched out on a stool. (Guardian - ZYL sprawled on a stool)
[personal profile] china_shop
I made four things for Wishlist (one a little late) - two Weilan and two ChuGuo, two very General Audiences, and two not so much. :D

  • Title: to those who wait (1567 words) [General Audiences]
    Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
    Relationships: Shen Wei & Professor Zhou (Guardian), Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
    Additional Tags: Pre-relationship (sort of), First Meeting (for one of them), alternate first meeting, Coincidences/Fate, alcohol consumption, Urban Setting
    Summary:

    Shen Wei had planned to pour his professor into a taxi, spend a few hours patrolling the city as the Black-Cloaked Envoy, and then get to work on his literature review or perhaps draft a proposal for establishing a school system in Dixing. He was already constructing arguments for the latter in his head. But Professor Zhou was distracted by something down the street and set off with surprising vigour for someone who, a moment ago, had barely been able to extract his credit card from his wallet.

    Shen Wei was obliged to follow in his wake.


  • Title: defying gravity (1507 words) [Mature]
    Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
    Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
    Additional Tags: Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, Established Relationship, domestic setting, Inspired by Fanart, Blow Jobs, Clothed Sex
    Summary:

    “Like this?” Zhao Yunlan hops onto the stool and stretches to prop his feet on the nearest ottoman. His elbows automatically find the edge of the breakfast bar behind him. He knows it looks a bit ridiculous—Da Qing never spares an opportunity to mock him for lounging like this—but it's surprisingly relaxing.

    And Shen Wei clearly appreciates the view. His throat bobs as he swallows. “Like that. Are you—comfortable?”


  • Title: Supportive (1807 words) [General Audiences]
    Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
    Relationships: Guo Ying/Yu Jinlan (Guardian), Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng
    Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Handwavy fix-it, POV Outsider, Gossip, slight social awkwardness, tiny misunderstanding, Getting Together, (ChuGuo getting together I mean), Established relationship for Guo Ying/Yu Jinlan obviously
    Summary:

    Guo Ying tells Yu Jinlan about his first day at the SID.


  • Title: a tempting fate (3238 words) [Teen and Up]
    Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
    Relationships: Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng
    Additional Tags: Episode Related, episode 18, Fight Club Case, Time Travel, Time Loop, Angst, Mild Hurt/Comfort, minor first aid, First Kiss (for one of them)
    Summary:

    Chu Shuzhi bends sideways so he’s right in Xiao-Guo’s face. “Xiao-Guo, look at me! Did something happen out there? Have you been hypnotised?”

    Hypnosis wouldn’t explain the change of clothes. And Xiao-Guo is actually laughing at him now. He pats Chu Shuzhi’s knee, too, and leaves his hand there as if it’s the most natural thing in the world.



My other late gift is still an extremely long, extremely messy draft, so I'll see how that goes...

I just discovered that you can make the perfect peppermint hot chocolate with Ritter Sport Peppermint. (I expect After Eight mints or similar would work too.) It turned out super delicious, so I need to share the joy!

Proportions: 250ml milk / 25g Ritter Sport Peppermint.

Just put the chocolate into the milk and heat in the microwave in short bursts, stirring thorougly in between, until it's entirely melted. (It pays to use a glass and not a porcelain mug, so you can see whether it's fully incorporated. *g*) Add a little sweetener to taste. YUM. :D
