Food, violence (Mysterious Lotus Casebook toot)
Ignore the characters, they're just doing evil stuff anyway. Look at those glorious candelabra!!! To DIY one of those I'll probably some heavy duty wire... Maybe I could ~borrow a piece of electrical cable and str...
*realises this is an actual crime*
_Not_ borrow cables, that is. But I want to create those arms without having to learn blacksmithing. If I combine coathanger wire and...
I'm intrigued by that cabinet in the background! I kinda' want to build it - it looks extremely buildable and very suitable for a cardboard furniture project. OTH it reminds me of those radio cupboards from the time when radios where gigantic, and that style I don't like. I think it's the orange vase in the display box down right that triggers it. Does it do that for you too?
Yup. Still want that red beaker thingy.
Sis, I _gladly_ leave you the man if I get the clothes*, deal? But frankly, you need some hobbies! How about full contact weaving, chess boxing, or extreme spelunking?
(*I tried my best to get you a pic where you can see the structured fabric and OTT trimmings, I really did.)
It's a truth universally acknowledged* that every good C-drama needs stylish candleholders, and here we have a handydandy pocket version! I wonder if I can order one from a local blacksmith? Do I even know a local blacksmith
(*not really)
Marcus Here: ...and this drama..
.
*pictures flashing of actors in costumes*
Me: Oooooooh! That fabric! Did he say where that drama will stream?
*ponders the logos*
Me: Probably Mango. Forget about it then!
(Yes, I know I can probably watch it on YouTube, but getting ambushed by toothpaste ads in the middle scene is a bit harrowing.)

(It was a multicolour brocade.)
Do I need lion door ring holders somewhere? A cupboard or something? Because I can probably make something decent out of single use aluminium pie trays, some hobby clay, and spray-on gold. Not that I can match these - they are glorious! - but sometimes you just need to add to the project list...
Does that cupboard in the background look like a worthy cardboard furniture build project? It absolutely does!
C-drama: Look! A plot point!
Me: Ooooh! Crinkled cotton! That's so comfy! I should buy some and sew summer clothes!
Sssssshhh! No one says _anything_ about mold, because I want a basement like that! (A complete lack of Evil Overlords would be nice too, but we should probably keep this on the realistic side of things.)
Yeah, yeah, this is sad, but the embroideries on Zhu Yan's hanfu is _fantastic_! I'd like to say it's Shang* dynasty style, but it's because...
*cough*
...I'm reading up on Shang bronzes and I think they look cool. I want to Shang everything!
(*first ancient Chinese dynasty to leave historical records, 1600 - 1046BC)
I know it's their gigantic medicine cabinett, but the only thing I can think is
"Wow! What an _awesome_ zettelkasten system!"
If I ever go to Heng Dian World Studios the candle holders are probably safe - they won't fit my home unless I turn them into a permanent ~Christmas tree*. But that _shelving unit_ and the _manuscript box_ on the table! I'm ashamed to say I'd desperately try to look like an Old Lady In Need To Be Pampered to wiggle out if I can buy those set pieces after shooting is over, and probably annoy a director or two.
(*A good idea, come to think of it...)
