oh hey! it takes about 5 hours to watch Link Click season 1, so you could rewatch it 6 times before s2 comes out! this is a very responsible and healthy thing to do! trust me.

makes
#lcs2e1
hit different.
LG would tear apart reality to be with CXS again, no matter how futile.
Now he knows CXS wouldn't do the same for him.
LG now believes more than ever that CXS is a better person than himself and his self-hatred has intensified.
#lcs2e12
OH THE Angel/demon art symbolism:
LG appears angelic but is actually lying and messing with time for selfish reasons
CXS appears to be irresponsible with time, but in actuality stays honest/true to his word ("holds promises unbroken, even with the night has fallen")
After watching
#lcs2e12
, my admiration and affection for LG has only grown. He is gentle and compassionate and demonstrates a profound concern for others. However, like all humans, he is most partial to the one he loves.
(thread โจ)
Sprinkled red rose petals, an empty bottle of red wine, celebratory amounts of cake, LG literally on top of a prone CXS... LX really do be crashing their honeymoon.
Hits harder now
#LCs2e12
LG: There's no chance in this photo. Give it up.
CXS: Not seeing hope doesn't mean there is no hope. Come on.
LG: (smiles at a validation CXS is unaware of; this is why he loops)
When LG 'dies', LG's words carry CXS; when CXS dies, CXS's words carry LG

"CXS, Pick up the photo.without the photo, the future as we know it will no longer exist."
...how'd you learn that, LG? You wouldn't, say, shred every photo you dive into in order to ensure the timeline is different, would you? ๐
CXS has little control over his life: he runs his parent's studio, cares for their plants, and pays off their debt. He has little say in the dives they pick up. He barely has enough money to choose what he eats. All of this before we even touch on the existential horror of diving
LG: Promo pics of me sleeping are too weird. I'm staying in my day clothes ๐ก
CXS "editing" this photo: Changing LG's shirt will have no impact on the past, but it will give us a better future๐
#lcs2e12
precious baby! let's destroy the fabric of reality to keep repeating our time together
(thank you, studio lan, for Homura!LG. Very, very happy.)
The matching ring necklace is called Immortal Time? ... synonymous with Eternal Time? Like what you promise to someone when you get married? that Eternal Time? ๐ซฃ๐ซฃ
...cool, yeah, ok ๐ณ
๐คฃ (rough translation)
CXS:(pretending to be on a call) Hello...? Hello, Hello? Is Mr. Lu there? There is a Mr. Cheng here who is dying and hopes you can save him๐
LG: If you have nothing to eat, order takeout
CXS:Mr. Cheng doesn't have enough strength left to use his phone๐
Congratulations! Your tl has been blessed with Cheng Xiaoshi enjoying food! โจโจโจ
5 out of 5 Lu Guangs agree that this is all you need to have a good day.โ๏ธ

Registering for Dianping right now for research reasons and it seems it has the same obnoxious alt-account prevention measures as other Chinese apps (unique cell number required), so CXS must've put in A LOT OF EFFORT or purchased an extra account to do this
Fun fact about LG's eye color:
-LG's eyes have a similar effect to an Opal
-Opal is the October Birthstone (HBD LG)
-Ancient Greeks believed Opals granted the power of prophecy/future vision. Other cultures considered opals to have all the powers of other colored gemstone
I've always assumed CXS 's s1ep1 text kicks off the show's bad consequences, but what if LG accepting the Earthquake case is this timeline's key node? (speculation๐งต)
Elizabeth was referenced in S2e1 but they are wearing their end of S2 fits... Please tell me they have partial custody ๐๐ ahh or maybe Elizabeth's family heard about LG/CXS's hospital stay and let them watch Elizabeth for a bit? ๐๐
...or did QL get them a visit?! (So cute)
LG's opening monologue in the English Dub is different:
"I'm sorry, everything is going to be different now. Death isn't something any one of us can change. The best we can do is accept it. So please, don't let this be another burden for you to carry."

Original Chinese and English Dub of Lu Guang's panic
[English at 13s]
(both VAs did a breathtaking job making LG's pain and panic palpable ๐ญ )
Shiguang shared finances making me weak ๐ณ LG agreed to be business partners with someone who owes 10 years of rent back-payments on top of current rent ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซthey're so good ๐ฉ
Our CXS is a product of his relationships with QL and LG. Their words, mannerisms, and kindness made CXS the kind and lovable goof we see in canon.
So, what would CXS be like without them?
