Lost Tomb ep 26 aka Sir: Your Face

[marycrawford]

I know there are rumors of Lost Tomb Reboot season 2, but I'm still slowly going through the first season, and pausing every now and then just to stare at Zhu Yilong because. HIS FACE. And the things he does with it.

I may never leave episode 26, because it feels like it has everything except the full Iron Triangle experience, and I admit I am fastforwarding through the second annoying subplot (slow your roll, Pangzi, pls), but Wu Xie, GOOD GRIEF.



zyl’s little cocky one cornered smiles, yummm
this is an amazing plan
he’s got a creepy walking baby and a jar of fireflies

TANK TOP
i can die now

oh god he’s leaning back with his thighs open and basically posing like a goddam supermodel
and all these guys standing around him looking like they’re just waiting for the bus, or possibly the gangbang
NO DO NOT HAND HIM A JACKET YOU FIEND


So...does anyone already have nice sharp caps of this scene with Z1L in his cap and goggles and posing on the floor and generally being a cocky, smirky badass? I presume yes, because fandom is amazing like that, pls hook me up?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah these are AWESOME. I made some caps myself eventually, but I think except for cap 2, you found all different micro-moments and they are spectacular.

Wu Xie's incredibly No Fucks Given face is just so satisfying?? How does he even do it?

And that extra closeup on his biceps as he grabs the jacket...sigh...and the gloves...wstfgl. I want to send some bouquets to the costuming department, honestly.

I desperately want to gif this but there's just so many scenes where he's like this? How choose?? XD

The tiniest of spoilers: biceps are visible in S2 as well, so make that a double bouquet for the costuming department.

I KNOW. I didn't expect Wu Xie to have this sassy, biting, dying-anyway-so-fuck-you undertone and I am into it - while somehow also considering him a darling woobie who must be wrapped in towels and fed noodles 24/7...

I appreciate the tiny, welcome spoilers! I haven't gotten started on S2 yet but I'm looking forward to it.

This is so incredibly relatable - YES, that's him to a tee. The sass! The self-confidence wrapped in challenging smirks and rude lounging omg.

He is and he should be and I love him.

I haven't gotten started on S2 yet but I'm looking forward to it.
:D :D :D

RUDE LOUNGING hahaha yess you nailed it. There's that bit in ...ep 29 I think?...where he walks into a locker room filled with guys who want to beat him up and drapes himself all over the lockers with such glorious gleeful fuck-you energy. Sigh. <3

Ahahaha I looked for other ways of putting it but I mean:

YES. The gleeful fuck-you energy! Everything about this is...amazing. (Ep 26, 28:34 if you want to have another look. I remember I put his "good luck" in the episode guide so I could CTRL+F for it.)

[marycrawford]

HA of course that locker bit was in ep 26 too, because it has all the good things (except the stripping his shirt off, that comes later. Yum.)

Your caps are so good and his FACE is so. sigh. I love your closeup cap of his badass little smirk, and then the Rude! Lounging! <3

Contrasting his boneless body language here with Hei Pao Shi or even Professor Shen is so satisfying, too. I also feel like Wu Xie and Zhao Yunlan would get on super well (and Zhao Yunlan could teach him about lollipops, to satisfy the smoking urge? but would we survive)

SUCH a good actor. ♥

Wu Xie would absolutely touch the Hallows and Zhao Yunlan would touch cultural relics and they'd be great buddies for sure!

(and Zhao Yunlan could teach him about lollipops, to satisfy the smoking urge? but would we survive)
Another tiny spoiler: there is a scene with a lollipop and I am BARELY ALIVE.
