trobadora, the trope sorting meme. In doing it, I realized that either the tropes I like are off the list, or I just hate trope-based fic. I love worldbuilding, and I'm much more into fiction that starts out as elaborating a premise instead of trying to hit a trope qua trope.
Stuff I actually like:
1 Loyalty Kink
2 Hurt/Comfort
3 Enemies to Friends to Lovers
Okay so Loyalty Kink is My Jam, and I also like hurt/comfort currently (because Guardian) even if not that much in the past, and Enemies to Lovers has lots of potential for fraught tension!

The character list for Guardian has 80 entries! I've based it on the Baidu cast list plus added in people who're not there (frex because they didn't have a separate actor, e.g. Chu Shuzhi's twin) who get named at some point. I've added the voice credit as well if there is one listed. Example entry:
赵云澜 Zhao Yunlan Zhào Yúnlán (白宇 Bai Yu; child 唐孜悦 Tang Ziyue)
Main character, SID boss, lollipop sucker, hallows groper. Surprisingly good with people, including in relationships.
I have now rewatched the first 3 episodes, and will continue watching, but if any of you recall these people offhand, please drop a comment:

I have also acquired 81 screencaps of people's faces and actions. Please send help.

Other notes from the rewatch:
- Shen Wei is very much presented cinematographically as the villain/not on the SID's side, from the setting scene to the verbal kung fu to the way the light flashes off his glasses
- There is no proof re: Shen Wei's super strength – Zhao Yunlan was doing just fine lifting Li Qian before the pipes gave way from beneath his feet, and when Shen Wei went to aid, it'd be 100% logical that two people lifting half a Li Qian would do better than one person lifting a whole Li Qian
- I hate xiao-Guo
- Shen Wei's Professor shoes have quite a heel on them; he should borrow Teacher Zhang's stilettos
- Expressionwise, that scene much later on where Ye Zun impersonates Shen Wei badly? It's actually a pretty decent impersonation of early-series Shen Wei, save the contents of his words (and the terrible flirting)
- Shen Wei was projecting himself and Zhao Yunlan all over Wang Yike and Zhang Ruonan's relationship
