Someone please tell me there’s a #MysteriousLotusCasebook fanvid to Teenage Dirtbag by Weezer! (Fang Duobing is the singer, Li Lianhua is the girl, Di Feisheng is the boyfriend—obviously.)

Ok, time to say good bye to Mysterious Lotus Casebook, but I did one last gif hunt - and I will use this one at the drop of a hat!

If I was the guy in green screen pajama in the background I 100% would answer the question

"So, what's your job at Heng Dian World Studios?"

with

"I can't say too much, but I'm pulling the strings around there."

BTS fotage from China and Korea is a culture shock for me. What I want is interesting semi-documentaries of how the drama was made*, what C- and K drama serves are plopping sound effects, cutsie decals, and humorous pointers. Ah well - who am I to rearrange someone elses living room? Haven't seen these before, so I'll better get used to it.

(*Granted, it's not always good documentaries for Western movies etc - but sometimes you get lucky.)

Now _that_ is a guan! The designer is stretching the limits here - the piece is jiggling dangeroisly when Not-Ye Baiyi is moving. But I guess they took the risk because it's such a perfect illustration of the character's high flying thoughts about himself. Of _course_ he'll miracuosly succeed this time.

I have no idea what Guillermo del Toro is watching in his free time, but I think Mysterious Lotus Casebook would be to his liking; it has Cogwheels. True, he toned it down somewhere after Hellboy II, but I'm kinda' with him and CDrama in this. A good cogwheel sequence improves things!

Fang Doubing is missing out when he refuses to marry the princess. Zhaoling is badass enough to steal that red beaker thingy from Saintress Jiao - she'd be an incredibly good jianghu wife.

I'm not so sure about those circular saw antennae, but overall that's a good design for a tank. The shape means it's near impossible to tilt over, and the dome means incomming force "slides off". I wonder if it has actual equivalents in Chinese history? If this was Western fiction I'd say someone's been playing too much rpg, but here there's a 50 - 50 chance.

CW: Food, violence (Mysterious Lotus Casebook toot)

Interesting recipe. Normally meat is ground before stuffed into casing, and if you dry the tongue you'll end up with Dried Tongue. Liu may be aiming for a _small_ dried sausage. Or maybe he'll mix the meat with other stuff - I know 100% meat is...

You know, if I go on we'll head straight into inuendo land. I'm already hearing the pitter patter of the kinky side of mastodon.

I'm intrigued by that cabinet in the background! I kinda' want to build it - it looks extremely buildable and very suitable for a cardboard furniture project. OTH it reminds me of those radio cupboards from the time when radios where gigantic, and that style I don't like. I think it's the orange vase in the display box down right that triggers it. Does it do that for you too?

It's a truth universally acknowledged* that every good C-drama needs stylish candleholders, and here we have a handydandy pocket version! I wonder if I can order one from a local blacksmith? Do I even know a local blacksmith 🤔

CW: Torture (Mysterious Lotus Casebook / storytelling toot)

Something CDrama and Western shows have in common is the naïve belief that torture will get true and accurate info. IRL it's a costly method with A Lot of false hits - it's litterally cruelty for cruelty's sake. I wish script writers could get that into their heads and use other fast fact finding tropes.

I picked the least cruel part to show here.
