Xiang Liu and You (Yes, You)

 Kokuto:

Was that me?  Hmmmm.  But yes, I'm all for fun in the gutter.

Tom Hardy is a low blow.

That’s unacceptable.

Thanks.

 Kokuto:

Part of my trio of Ts: Thranduil, Tom, and Tan.

The Holy T

I prefer not to call it anything. I'm going to be too evil :)

Don't pull your punches now. 

Besides, I'm thinking of posting a full-on roasting essay on LYF and the various characters so I need you to keep me company ;-)

 Kokuto:

How sad is that? He even failed at dying for love. SMH

I agree with your assessment of saving XY from the assassination, but I'm fine with sharing the credit ... cause I KNOW who did the most and in what order. ;p

Pathetic isn't he?

He can share the credit, it's not a huge thing. However, his actions during this major arc just really can't be defended - no amount of contortion will suffice. It's this character's crowning glory, the perfect encapsulation of who he is.

 Kokuto:

LMAO! It's still funny, every time I hear that.

Did you notice in those excerpts that were posted in the comments and Author Notes, that not once did Tong Hua say XY loved Jing? Jingers posted them thinking they proved something, but completely ignored the fact that Tong Hua said, XY got what she wanted, A COMPANION. So, I am definitely getting that feeling about Tong Hua not liking Jing. Which, again, is why I'm holding onto my hopes for Season 2.

Tong Hua talks the way she writes, with hidden meanings in the words that she uses or does not use. Companion instead of love, not a tragedy instead of a happy ending. But what can you expect from people who refuse to entertain the idea that there is more to a piece of writing than just the text-level understanding?

Where are these excerpts? Was it in one of these threads?

Most of Jing's actions are questionable, if examined.  I just waver back and forth about whether Tong Hua actually meant them to read that way.  Sometimes I think she was confused ... but most the times I think she's amazingly layered.

OMG.  I don't think I could talk to her then.  LOL!  I saw a couple of videos with her, but they are only in Mandarin.

Sometimes, it isn't even text level understanding.  SMH.  There wasn't a discussion on the thread, but I few back patting posts in the comments section with a link to this thread and last post.

Yo, there’s one more thing to be trademarked.

The Lashes™

Not the 40 ones lol, I mean his eyelashes.

I’ll put up a little compilation soon hahaha

LOL! 

Yes!  We need list of what's been trademarked.

 nathsketch:

The Holy T

Exactly! :)

 HeadInTheClouds:

Tom at his peak beauty. Gorgeous!!

Yes, indeed!  That Bronson beef up ... no.  Just no.

 Kokuto:

LOL! 

Yes!  We need list of what's been trademarked.

That’s going to require a second List™

 nathsketch:

He did say that it damaged his health. After The Dark Knight Rises, he said he no longer could go back to how he was :/

I didn't know that. :( 

It does get harder the older you get.  I'm surprised Christian Bale hasn't hurt himself with some of his physical transformations.
