Sometimes I tie myself up so I can test how much different positions hurt and stuff so mu writing is more accurate. Its more painful than you would expect. If you tie their legs folded so they have to crawl, then it hurts to straighten them after just an hour, for example. Also, a good way to make walking a lot harder is to hook a rope under their toes and around the ankle so their foot is pulled up. Like reverse high heels. That starts hurting a lot after about ten minutes.
• splayed flat over someone’s chest, a warm, grounding anchor. “easy. easy. lay still.”
• knuckles raked across a sternum. “come on back now… that’s it. there you are. deep breaths for me.”
• the vulnerability of uncovering a painful wound to let someone else inspect it. “i promise i’ll be really gentle, but i have to take a look.”
• gently frantic. “oh my god. is that blood? is all of that yours?”
• A held captive, strung up to the rafters by their wrists. B finally rushes in, clutches A’s face in their hands, tips their chin up. desperately searches for any hint of awareness. “A. A, look at me. please look at me. i need a medic over here!”
• B’s cool hand pressed against A’s fever-hot forehead. bonus points if they cup the back of A’s head with the other hand at the same time. A closes their eyes and leans into the touch ever so slightly.
When whumpee passes out and the person who just happens to be standing next to them has to suddenly drop everything and try to catch them, then there’s that awkward thing where whumpee’s dead weight kinda pulls them down. Reblog if you agree.
Additional Info: “The drama is based on the explicitly queer book with the same name, but couldn’t have been made explicitly queer due to chinese censorship laws. It explains away the gay relationship by saying "oh they’re just like brothers”. There are still many “dubious” scenes to enjoy.“
"I enjoyed it a lot, but I think if you don’t know and enjoy the genre it’s a hard watch because of the utter lack of funding this show got, but it’s got heart and the story is somewhat decently adapted from the book (which is my absolute favourite danmei)”
