best part about writing #nirvanainfire fic is i don’t have to worry about it being too dramatic since everyone in that show is fully fixed at 11 on a scale of 0-10 for drama

#nirvanainfire au idea: in response to the chiyan massacre, nihuang secedes from the empire and closes her borders. on her way out she demands a new fiance to replace the one that’s just been killed: someone with both royal blood and and a connection the lin family

Still on the fence about #NIF #NirvanaInFire ?

There are about a million extremely badass women with very complex motivations and characters whose choices are crucial to the plot.

The costumes are gorgeous, the acting is beautifully executed, the exposition is top-tier, and the depiction of chronic illness hit me square in the feels in ways I legitimately did not expect holy shit.

You can watch it on Viki, or there’s an extensive fan-maintained reference spreadsheet…

A deeply hopeful and also entirely nihilistic show that has absolute faith in the goodness of human nature and also an deeply held conviction that humanity is unrecyclable trash at its core, and somehow manages to make these views ... work in a compelling and complex narrative that has twists and turns that will make you laugh and cry and sing 🎶secret tunnel 🎶 in glee and then weep like a baby at the secret tunnel several episodes later.

#NIF #NirvanaInFire #rec

Today’s #rec #ShowRec #TVRec #MediaRec is #NirvanaInFire #NIF a Chinese drama that doubtless many of you have seen already. A pitch/summary without spoilers is a challenge but I will give it a try.

Mei Changsu, our protagonist (played by Hu Ge), returns to the capitol city of ancient imperial China. Palace intrigue happens with utterly relentless skill.

It becomes increasingly clear that the past is not dead, everyone has feelings, and holy shit, cycles of revenge fuck everyone up in the end.

Gorgeous #NirvanaInFire fanvid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuIz6WySp9A

Since I was talking about cdramas with a couple people.

Here a small push.

Watch Nirvana in Fire, best cdrama ever. Plot, love, grief, revenge, political machinations, so much subtext.

#8 Know Better (Nirvana in Fire fanvid by Rhea 314)

There are so many absolutely awesome Nirvana in Fire fanvids but this one socks me right in the gut. This one makes me tear up. Watching Jingyan and Nihuang question themselves and their instincts just kill me.
