extrapenguinGuardian rewatchalong, episode 6 is here! (I am unsure about my schedule tomorrow evening, so I went and posted it now.)
Otherwise, I've caught up with Thousand Autumns, and it's perhaps my favorite danmei webnovel ever. (We're 30% of the way through the 128 chapters!) (I also realized that it's very much what I wanted Modao Zushi to be based on the misleading advertising of the latter. Oops?) Shen Qiao is a protagonist whom I appreciate very much, for all his refusal to compromise his morals, and the way he will let unimportant things go easily. Yan Wushi as well is an excellent character, erratic and ambitious, and he might be a demonic cultivator, but he isn't full-on Chaotic Evil: he has reasons for doing things, and he really wants to go down in history, both by unifying the demonic sects and by having Zhou conquer the Five Plains. The trope of reverse corruption of evil into good is also one I absolutely adore, and I love the fact that the political plot is very much set in the Northern and Southern dynasties, instead of "sometime within this 2000-year stretch".
I also have a Guardian plotbunny, courtesy ofrheasilvia:
There is also another plotbunny that is a crossover with Yoko Tsuno! Yoko Tsuno and Khâny's adventures lead them to Dixing, and then Zhao Yunlan learns that there are, in fact, two species of humanoid aliens that came to Earth and settled deep underground. Then Yoko Tsuno and Zhao Yunlan team up to talk down Ye Zun, Khâny shares some tips on how to run an underground settlement, and everyone lives happily ever after. Yoko and Khâny soon head off to their next destination of Something That Is Not Zhao Yunlan's Problem while the SID crew get a few days off and Zhao Yunlan cuddles his alien.

rheasilvia:The woman sitting on the SID couch was young, wore white tai chi clothes, and there was something very much off about her. Upon seeing Zhao Yunlan arrive, she rose. "Greetings. I come from the Rigel Spaceship Rental Corporation. You appear to have crashed one of our spaceships into your planet."
Whatever his flaws, Zhao Yunlan was pretty sure that he'd remember crashing a spaceship, no matter how drunk he might have been at the time. "I think you have the wrong person."
