Love how Zhu Yan is known among humans as the most terrible and fearsome of demons but the moment they meet another demon/deity they're just like "oh yeah the most annoying fucking guy ever"
Love the splash of warm color in their color palette!
the demons of 大梦归离 Fangs of Fortune + their true forms as recorded in 《山海经 The Classic of the Mountains and Seas》
--
《山海经》 is a compilation of mythic geography and beasts and was believed to have been written during the Warring States period (475–221 BC) of China's history, although the authorship is contested and the current version was probably revised and edited in the Han Dynasty. Fangs of Fortune derives much of its lore from this book, including the physical descriptions of creatures and the battle between Ying Long and Bing Yi and the relationship between characters like Li Lun and Ying Zhao.
The illustrations used in this gifset are a more modern rendition by the artists 杉澤 and 李堃 (who drew Bing Yi).
That smug feeling you get as a suicidal demon when they vote 3-2 to kill you
Fangs of Fortune ep.28
So the jerk doctor gave the name of Wen Xiao's father to the dragon to protect his own identity at the risk of his junior doctor’s, leading to the death of Wen Xiao's dad who… got poisoned, rot and died ? Ah yes, the classic "that cheating man deceived me so I shall take revenge, not on the man, but on his innocent wife and unborn child"
Wait a sec, shouldn't they try to see if Yichen can turn into a dragon before asking one at great cost. If YC can turn into a dragon, then he could restore the sword himself
What kind of repayment in that ? Princess, you own Wen Xiao something, you have to repay her BUT you ask her to give you something in exchange of that repayment !? Also give his core? When knowing that jerk doctor is looking for it and when ZYZ is your strongest fighter ???
Seeing Yichen not wearing blue is almost strange Also I like ZYZ's hairdo in this one, it's a nice change (though the previous one is good too)
They are fishies in the pound, she can hear you. You hear that ZYZ? You're more important to YC than his ancestral sword tied to his soul that can save Bai Jiu !
Pei Sijing, YINGLEI WTF?! Omg I got so pissed at them and disappointed in YingLei but it was an act. Oh noooo baby didn't knew it was an act. He was the only one sincere and felt scared and disappointed over nothing. Poor boy really though his friend were turning on ZYZ, that he would have to fight them and that ZYZ rip out his own core!
“Leave it to me. Xiao Zhuo- Go away. Okay.” They are so married.
Don’t be embarrassed baby. I'm sure ZYZ was touched to see how much YC cares, that he would confront and fight his friends to defend him. Look at how fondly ZYZ looks at you ! THEY ARE BOTH SO PRETTY DAMN
Oh, all right, now I know why ZYZ or YingLei didn't suggest they use YC's scale if he can turn in a dragon, it would kill him. GIRL, JUST TURN INTO A DRAGON AND EAT THAT JERK!
WAIT I forgot about that! I forgot that YC was dying because 1) he was turning into a demon and 2) his soul-weapon was broken and that those were two separated problem. I thought that now he was demon he was saved but NO, they still need to repair the sword. So YC choosing to not destroy ZYZ's core to repair the sword meant that he choose -once again - ZYZ's life over his own.
Lilun got himself a pretty cave. LiLun, if you die at least don't bring the kid with you, die on your own.
Btw countdown of who is dying in the team : Bai Ju, cause of the poison Wen Xiao, cause of the flute Yichen, because of the broken sword and the oath to ZYZ he doesn't intend to keep. Zhu Yan, cause of the evil energy and the death wish and the oath between him and Yichen he intends to keep
I’m sorry, I love you YingLei, but you aren’t the best choice to keep such an important item. Although no one has stolen your teleportation device yet !
Also, sorry but fake-YC is hot. His expressions, the “Oh?” (a+ acting) OF COURSE he would lose the scale. I mean COME ON, give it to your strongest fighter (YC or ZYZ), not to the one who can't even defeat the shapeshifter (but at least he can smell her) Oh ! Yichen pointing a sword at ZYZ, it's been a while. Can't you just talk it out ?
LILUN don't you flirt anyone while possessing the body of that child ! For a sec I thought ZYZ had a great back up plan and gave the scale to Lilun to heal Bai Ju and cause LiLun was his bf(f). OOOOH what did you do with the scale ZYZ ? (pretty sure he is just keeping it safe) Will… ZYZ have to choose who gets the scale? Like choose between Bai Ju (the child), Wen Xiao (the woman he loves), YiChen (his soulmate)?
"Walking alone at night, one would think the darkness goes on and on and has no end. But as long as a light is on, even just a glimmer, no matter how weak it is, you can follow it to find a way out. Then you’ll find more and more light. I’ve long left the darkness."
I have the power of creation, so I should sacrifice my life and become the stars. It's my duty. And my honor. And once one star is lit, all the rest will follow. Let me be the first.
Fangs of Fortune / 大梦归离
thinking about the fact that after becoming a demon, unconsciously or not, zhuo yichen seeks out comfort in water. given the chance, he's always in it or near to it. as a water demon, he is gravitating towards it
he also seeks comfort in zhao yuanzhou. he stands closer to zyz and mirrors him: his pain, his understanding of the world, his death-wish, even his hairstyle
also thinking about the fact that zhao yuanzhou said he will become rain when he dies
man shut the fuck up NO ONE IS DYING SHUT THE FUCK UP LORD NO
Demon Daddy trying to appease his angry and embarrassed wifey Dragon Baby (yes, I'm changing ZYC nickname from Baby Hunter), who carried his heart on his sleeve and served it to ZYZ on a silver platter only to learn it was an elaborate ploy he was left out of, and failing miserably.
"Just wait when we are alone, ZYZ!"
That's a loving smile.
Soo.... If I'm understanding this correctly, pretty much everyone is going to die.
obligatory screaming cuz I'm an aesthtic fiend, first and foremost, like bby the shot framing, the light, the movement of the fabrics....oh brother everything was working in their favor fr
There's so many problems to fix and so little episodes left. I am very afraid and one episode a day is TORTURE. 🫠🫠
Zhou Yichen wears his heart on his sleeve, acts as a shelter for those he cares most about and it hurts him sometimes. I don't like that their little "play" took advantage of him but I understand why it was necessary.
I hope he will be safe and loved at the end of all things.
His parents not doing anything tho?? To get him back? I.mean sure the gang is working towards it, but cmon.........
