C'mon, we need to catch up! Some of the tags are so angry, haha. Viktuuri needs to win everything, it's in the name!
The second round rages on! This match-up has me absolutely terrified that my number-one pick is going to be crushed by the titan that is Victuuri. But I can hold out hope, right? Right??? Cast your votes now!
All Round 2 Match-Ups
Rules and Full Bracket
For starters, talk to him like a normal person. Someone should have tried that some time. (Yes, I know a total amount of two (2) people did that - and those don't include Minshan because hero-worship is not normal.)

He's in your room what do you do.
Sorry I didn't know what to do with this photo.
The most bitter tears are those that none can see.
How bad is it that I know exactly which episode and scene the TOS pic is?
to demonstrate the issues with spock’s characterization in certain star trek adaptations i’ve made this convenient chart
as you can see here, recent spock iterations simply are not serving enough cunt
we can clearly see that snw spock is at a critically low level of cuntiness, whereas aos spock does have noticeable cunt. however, it is negligible seeing as tos spock was already off the charts in cuntiness.
Yep. That is a VERY unfun ability. Even if Doctor Who is not your cup of tea, try Torchwood. It's dark and doesn't have a single character I didn't want to punch at some time or other but I came to love them all (even the one I wanted to cook alive at first). And that particular ... skill is really not something I'd wish on anyone.
immortality through not being incapable of death but by coming back to life after you die no matter what is such a cool power like it’s just so fucking metal. you can rip me apart if you want, i’ll rise from my own viscera and all you’ll have done is piss me off
For the record, she's 70, I'm 40. I introduced her to the Donghua because I knew she'd love it.
"I think your husband* has a few screws loose." (About Shi Qingxuan trying to turn Xie Lian into a woman.)
"Be nicer to him. I'd drop you at once." (About the Earth Master being rescued, then carried.)
"Are you sure this is your husband?" I confirmed this. "Oh honey, I think your husband is gay." (Same as above, pretty much only a blink later.)
She had an eye-rolling contest with Mu Qing when he and Feng Xin fought while Xie Lian was under arrest. She would have won.
"Oh, but he's whipped." (About Hua Cheng helping to free the prisoners in Qi Rong's lair. She believes he might not have bothered. I'm a bit on the fence about this, knowing how he made Eming - and more to the point, how he did not. But I can hardly tell her that.)
There was no verbal response to Qi Rong aside from an exhausted "Pitiful." She observed him with the same expression she might use on a particularly slow dog.
"Now there's a guy you know never got laid." (She said this when Shi Qingxuan threw her breasts at Feng Xin. I was howling with laughter, she thinks it was in agreement, but it was obviously a bit more hysteria-tinged.) She also noted my husband is a brat. I can't argue with that.
She asked me if Xie Lian killed that guy at the end. I told her if she wants to know that she'll either have to be VERY patient until season 3 comes - or be moderately patient and read the books where that answer doesn't come at once, either.
*I told her that on the fuck - marry - kill list Shi Qingxuan is number two. I told her that fuck is Pei Ming because that man has experience. The way Xuan Ji clings to him, he must have some skill, too. Kill is Shi Wudu, but I did not say that to her, just that it's a character she hasn't met. She knows I dislike the Water Master, but she doesn't know how much. I didn't give that answer lightly, in my defence. There are very few characters I resent enough in TGCF, if any, but I had to name someone.)
People from your past don't always stay there.
Cackles in "my mom has a lower jaw bone she snatched from a graveyard (!) because she reckons it's her grandfather's (!?) and it's on broad display with some pretty seashells (!!!)."
This will never not be hilarious.
What's Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (Mo Dao Zu Shi) is about?
It is easy: Jin Ling's uncle dies to bring back Jin Ling's uncle, who was killed by Jin Ling's uncle, except not really. Then Jin Ling's uncle, and Jin Ling's future uncle teams up to solve the mystery of a mutilated corpse, who was actually Jin Ling's uncle, and was killed by Jin Ling's uncle. This leads to the scene where Jin Ling's uncle, Jin Ling's future uncle, Jin Ling's uncle, and Jin Ling's uncle confronts Jin Ling's uncle. Then Jin Ling uncle gets stabbed by Jin Ling's uncle, and gets killed by the ghost of Jin Ling's uncle. In the end it turns out that everything was planned by Jin Ling's uncle.
Re-reading TGCF is interesting. Someone has probably said this, but here I go anyway.
During the Banyue arc, I had a bit of an epiphany. Hua Cheng catches Xie Lian, keeps holding him while fighting Kemo, and tells him not to be worried.
In the flashback at the end of the second volume, Xie Lian catches a then unknown child, keeps holding him during the staged fight with Mu Qing, and tells him not to be worried.
Even the first time I thought ‘It’s dirty’ is an odd excuse for not setting Xie Lian down. I mean, they’ve travelled through the desert by funnel cloud, they’ve had a building collapse right near them, and had an intermezzo with the mud face. I’m sure Xie Lian’s clothes weren’t exactly pristine any more. But that isn’t what it was about: He refused to pass up the opportunity to recreate their first encounter with reversed roles. It was just too good to let go.
This is really, really well done.
