What's In A Title?

Even the incense stick holder is Gusu-esque.

I also almost bought this cute lotus flower magnet, but I don’t have anywhere to stick it so I didn’t 😔

However, while it seems logical in theory, I’m not sure how well it’ll go in execution. I won’t speak on the LXC and JGY stuff, because I’ve never cared for or had any investment in their characters in the first place. The characters who matter to me in Guanyin Temple are Wangxian and JC. However, the two emotional cruxes that are key to those characters were both missing—the confession scene for Wangxian and the aftermath of the core reveal for JC. This made the whole Guanyin Temple scene incredibly lackluster without much stakes, and seemed to only serve the purpose of confronting JGY for everything he did. As if this is just a necessary pitstop to dump off some plot before moving on to the main thing.

This is me right now. Like, Bo seems so flustered interacting with Thumbless (episode 76). Not wanting him to see his face, stammering at some parts. He genuinely can’t tell apart his feelings of wanting to protect Thumbless and wanting to potentially 🍽 him. And I’m just watching and waiting to see which side wins out over the other. Obviously no matter what, any relationship between them would be unhealthy af. After all, Bo is still a psychopathic, cannibalistic murderer. But for Thumbless who literally can never catch a break, so long as Bo can keep him from harm until he’s out of this whole situation, I can’t hate on him. Currently Nathalie has been the more annoying one recently tbh.
