MOMMMMAAA LIFE HAD JUST BEGUNNNNNN

HE TURNED HIM INTO A NOUR, BECAUSE WHY ARE WE BUGGING OUT OVER BLOOODDDD. Chita in the room bro. This camera angle is making me sick. So I don't think we will ever come back from that. I thought we told him that we turned him. He does not even know.I'm like, why the fuck is her arm backwards? Because they blew that shit off. That's why her arm is backwards. He fully got his spine snapped in half. I was wondering why he was slumped over, but I didn't wanna question the small details. Should have questioned it. But that means they are true loves because he was brought back to life. That's cute. Whatever. If ken dies at the end of this shit, I am giving this show a zero.This is a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of situation, because would you rather have your man die, you lose your man, his mother and brother lose their son and their brother, or would you rather have your man live and you keep your man and they still have their son and brother? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. TANGMEEEE NO OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK? Hey, so by murdering him, what makes us different than them? Him dragging himself on the floor is mortifying. Okay, so I don't know how we are going to redeem ourselves in two episodes, but we better make it work, because if I have everybody dead besides James, I'm gonna be really mad. I AM ACTUALLY SO GAGGED RIGHT NOW HOLY FUCK. I ACTUALLY AM NOT SURE HOW WE ARE GOING TO COME BACK FROM THIS LIKE NOT AT ALL, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ITS OKAY. HIM DRAGGING HIMSELF ON THE FLOOR WITH HIM LIMPS ALL WRONG IS ACTUALLY SO FUCKING SCARY AND IM SORRY...ALSO James why we grabbing his head like that? Fanfic incoming, also rip phongtangme BECAUSE SHES DEAD. LIKE WE JUST KILLED HER FOR ACTUALLY NO REASON. LIKE I KNOW SHE SHOT YOUR MAN BUT FUCK. CHITA HAS KILLED EVERY PERSON THAT HAS DIED IN THIS SHOW AND IM GAGGED. Okay bye!

Episode 6 of Mr. Fanboy was an absolute emotional…

Episode 6 of Mr. Fanboy was an absolute emotional roller coaster! That twist hit so hard, especially after seeing the hints in the trailer. Here is what made this episode such a wild ride:Time and Renji Dating: The audience theories were completely spot on! Seeing their secret relationship confirmed was such a satisfying "I knew it!" moment, even if it adds another layer of complexity to the drama.Nine’s Complex Situation: It was so easy to feel bad for Nine at first because it really seemed like the harsh pressures and toxic expectations of the entertainment industry pushed him to the edge. But that stunt he pulled right at the end? Absolutely uncalled for. It leaves you feeling so conflicted and frustrated with him!Third and Wan: They remain the absolute heart of the show. Their dynamic is so endearing, comforting, and genuinely loving that it keeps you grounded amidst all the chaos on set. The Renji Concern: Finger crossed the writers don't turn Renji into a villain next week! He deserves a soft, protected storyline after everything unraveling around him.Waiting a whole week after a massive cliffhanger like that feels like an eternity!How do you think Third and Wan are going to handle the fallout in Episode 7?

Story hour at the naval camp

There is a commotion when the daughter finds out the Xies aren’t coming. She is going to find JinQi to take care of things when she sees him being hauled out by a squadron of guards. The sister boldly plants herself in front of the captain and demands to see her brother. He is allowed to briefly speak to her and tells her he will be home soon and not to worry. He is tossed in prison where they have found him guilty of collusion and he is blamed for the death of Dalong. 😝🙄 He has left a letter to be delivered if osmanthus cakes arrived. His maid is fearful and gets Lan Xiang to go with her. They have been left a clue how to find the Marquis and try their luck at the gate he’s most likely to enter. They sing the song mentioned as he passes by. He refuses to be part of the investigation but LanXiang said it was about river defense which got his immediate attention. He takes the letter and after reading has the maids sent to the naval camp until he gives orders for them to be released. The look on head maid’s face when Lan Xiang admits to bluffing, but that it seems she was correct.🤣😂There is quite the conflict at the dock and the missing cotton and jacket material is on board. Additionally they had kidnapped weavers to take to Wo. The Marquis was rather stunned to have half a dozen ladies kneeling around him in gratitude. Here was the needed evidence to find the real culprits. After his release Jin Qi was greeted by the platoon of men that started the outcry about the jackets. They were ashamed and wanting punishment which JinQi refused. He congratulated them for doing the right thing. Their loyalty is assured now that they’ve seen their commander in action. The Du brother does not seem pleased that things worked out well. I don’t know what the sibling agenda is, but him being alone briefly with the disappointed sister makes me wonder. She at least now knows that the one she admired was not the one she was engaged to. So she’s no longer depressed about Xie son being engaged to a Zhao daughter. Wait til he finds out she’s illiterate. 😝JinQi stops to see his mother but discovers the maids have not returned. He and aide rush to camp expecting terrified women. The commander at the gate said he was going to return them earlier, but the men refused. 🧐 He escorts them to an area where the men are enthralled listening to Lan Xiang telling a war story. She had a captive audience including JinQi. He was as entranced as the men watching her. This is the first time he truly sees her as more than her station. There is true admiration in his eyes as he watches her hold an entire cadre of men’s attention in the palm of her hand. She was magnificent. 👏🏻

Undercover Ms Xu

After patrolling some areas they find a section where children are playing and wearing reed fluff shoes. The materials are scraps left over from the military jackets. Lan Xiang and JinQi have a poignant conversation about what the poor are willing to do to survive. They have a way in with LanXiang agreeing to go undercover as a seamstress seeking work. The dogs are the biggest obstacle and she has a drug dosed handkerchief to give them a sleeping draft in their water. She does this under the guise of being terrified of them. She senses they are getting ready to change locations so she pretends she has a store of cotton to sell so she can return to capital. This results in a direct confrontation with Lu Datong and Lin JinQi. Lan Xiang is held hostage but bravely stabs him with a needle allowing JinQi and his men to take care of the men inside. JinQi thinks he can reason with the man and did not take his sword. The man opts to kill himself so their witness is gone. They learned he was from Wo where cotton is scarce and can’t be bought legally. This is when JinQi realizes an official is colluding with them and they stakeout the docks where the cotton is expected to be transported to Wo. Lang Xiang is in bed convalescing and saving her reward for a later time. She has a nightmare and is comforted by her friend. I liked her attitude about medicine. Down it at once rather than by spoonful to drag out the bitterness. She and Yuchang have a candid conversation and LanXiang learns that her actions saved YuChang from being sold as a bride to provide betrothal gifts for her brothers. The reward for her part covered the gifts and her parents agreed to not rush a marriage. This was an exciting adventure where LanXiang’s survival instincts kicked in to use that needle. Even the men were talking about it and one commented that JinQi had that same look when surrounded by Wo pirates. The parallels between these two getting more interesting.

Finding the truth through the deceit

Ms Vixen…I mean Du is gathering intel with her façade of kindness. She is quite smooth with her guile and she is already plotting against LanXiang when the opportunity presents. She is aptly named after a poisonous flower isn’t she? I am not getting why in a plot to trap him when her brother saved him. What is their grudge? LanXiang is home and sharing the special cream with her mother to help her hands heal. She shows her parents the gold and here I learned it was 10 taels. My ignorance of gold bars when first mentioning her reward. 😳She now understands that it is more than just cash to get freedom. She must wait for the right time and have the will of the owner to truly gain them freedom. The irony of commoner being a step up for the one that should have been lady of the Lin house. The matriarch and gpa have no clue their savior has been the one they cut ties with and killed her family. The sister is cute listening to the moms predict her wedding date. But there is an uproar that changes all the good news. Two soldiers are dead because the jackets they received were filled with straw not fleece. There is a platoon of angry men demanding an answer from their commander. JinQi has just learned of the deception and the merchant has written record with only JinQi’s seal. Since he personally oversaw everything, it was on him to find out where the deception was. They have the name of the fraudulent merchant but he is nowhere to be found. While they are looking for him, the Xie’s have sent word the wedding is off because the bdays don’t mesh well. The mother’s are upset and denouncing the hypocrisy of the Xies when dad shows up to add his lament. He is lamenting their loss of ties with the Zhaos and pointing the finger at JinQi that he may as well head to prison now. The uncle comes in and chides the dad for being repulsive. It is fun watching them pretend to fight when it’s more a game of protecting the valuables and shooing them out of the room.😝😂While JinQi and men are trying to figure out where the merchant is hiding in the city, LanXiang comes in with another option to track him down — via the seamstresses that made the jackets. JinQi is all ears to devise a plan.

Flower festival shenanigans

The mothers conspire to have the best guards for the celebration. They know they need to keep scandals at bay and the matron maids they have on the detail promise to not even let a fly get through. The young ladies are all together and there is one that is the cattiest causing trouble with the Lin sister so her temper will get her in trouble. The youngest Lin is entranced by Ms Du who has helped her twice. All the men wear flowers and JinWi opted to wear the gift from Ms Du’s box. It turns out the flower was her name and he was soon teased by all for giving himself as the prize for the new lady tenant. Fortunately right when this was getting its biggest cheer and he was going to respond, his grandfather shows up with larkspurs for everybody because it turns out it’s a natural pesticide and good for crops. This was a way for all to show appreciation for the earth that produced their food. His providential arriving was in direct response to LanXiang’s find. She was airing out the books and saw the picture. She understood immediately the significance of JinQi wearing that particular flower and made haste to get Yuchan on board with the danger. However, the meticulous gate guards were not having it. So LanXiang got more creative and encorporated the aid of youngest Lin to give a book to gpa for her. She did this with a very elaborate sales pitch for a never missing slingshot. 🤣😁 He left with alacrity looking forward to his prize. 🤣 Ms Du claims innocence about it being in the box but does admit to making the flower ornament. Lan Xiang’s friend loading up the boxes admitted she put items in, but did not recall the flower. But since she was the only one handling the boxes, she could not claim innocence either. The matriarch punished them strictly. There would be no forgetting this incident. But she did follow up with the best meds. LanXiang received two gold taels for her actions. She immediately offered one to have the sentences of her friends lessened but that was refused with the promise of meds. She was instructed to continue doing her best. 🤣😂 The arrogant Xie scholar was certainly snooty, but I enjoyed his interaction with the Lin brothers. He will fit in well. JinQi has a chat with boy Lin and learns about the slingshot. He is promised a better flower ornament for next year and happily runs off with JinQi’s friend to go horseback riding. LanXiang enters and asked how she found the book drawing. It was serendipity as she was in charge of airing the books and came across it. The end of the episode flashes back to LanXiang ready to suggest a counter to the larkspur ornament when the episode ends. I am glad she is making headway at her job, Her character is shining through even to the top people now. But I know she also fears having their attention on her because she already knows all too well where that attention can lead. I am enjoying the pace of the story as it is showing the natural progression of everybody. What I am still not sure of is if Ms Du is a wolf in a pretty dress or not. That flower ornament was a bit too specific and not many would get the significance.
