[admin] Welcome and Introductions

[doctorskuld]

Welcome to the HIStory3: Trapped 圈套 Community on Dreamwidth

Even the though the fandom is spread around on various social media platforms, I think there are enough people on Dreamwidth who have seen the show to merit a separate community to celebrate our favorite disaster gangsters and their disaster cop boyfriends.

This is a comm for discussing and sharing the love of Trapped 圈套 and its related content, including:
• All types of discussion, discourse, and squee
• Actor news and spam (RPS and speculation is acceptable)
• Fan works (fanfiction, podfic, art, icons, vids, etc.), including your own work, challenges, recs and fanwork finding, beta requests
• Episode recaps

You are encouraged to post content directly to the community so that discussion can happen in one central place.

The Community Guidelines can be found on the profile page.

To start things off, let's introduce ourselves, tell each other how we came into the fandom, and what our favorite things about Trapped 圈套 are.

Yes! I kept asking myself how the hell MSF got back home from the warehouse OK. He didn’t even have his phone (as we know) to call for a ride. I thought Dao Yi was likely called en route TO the warehouse (which MSF seems to say on arrival there) and he would take Hong Ye away. In fact I thought that would have all happened while the three of them were having their warehouse downstairs corridor heart to heart.

But yes, more importantly, MSF is like a limpet combined with an octopus here. Although TY isn’t touch-starved he is ALONE in so many ways and I see this as MSF manifesting physically what cannot be said because of the emotional fraught state TY is in. I want to dissect this scene more later because there’s an interesting moment as things get a bit sexual (at least with intent) where I’m not quite sure if there’s an issue of MSF being pushed too far too fast. Anyway, I’m really interested in the development of sexual intimacy between these two, which I’d love to see explored. More thoughts for other posts . . .

That is definitely a fic I want to write, and I wanted to write it as I was watching that scene. I don't know if I was writing yet when I saw it, but I def wasn't writing in this fandom (since that just started literally yesterday). It's absolutely happening now, though.

[her_cool_aunt]

Ooh! *eager, anticipatory face*

This moment was part of the reason why I thought they hadn’t really gone very far physically together yet. Although there’s another interpretation for MSF’s apparent unease - around the meaning of any sexual intent from TY at this exact point.

Uh, just a warning, I'm kinda known for being one to bring the knives to a party, sooooo... I promise the roleplaying fic I'm working on now is All Cute All The Time tho! This fandom is much less knife-centric than Guardian, which is the #1 reason I watched it when I did. =D

[her_cool_aunt]

Of course! Duly noted. I’m good with whatever. Just happy I get to appreciate the creations of generous writers. (I wanted some fun after a lot of Guardian angst, but too much fluff gets sickly sweet.)

[doctorskuld]

OOOOOOH! I am excite for this too!

If you a bring a few knives to the party here, I'm sure nobody can fault you. We don't employ any metal detectors, and Jack always has something sharp on him too...

Hmmmm how to write Actually Scary Intense Jack during sex without sending Zhao Zi into catatonic shock (or screaming from the room)... something to think about. AFTER THIS. And, er... that. GOOD LORD WHO OPENED THE DOOR TO THE BUNNY FARM

[doctorskuld]

I can actually see Zhao Zi having A Thing for Actually Scary Intense Jack during sex.

Remember, he was not afraid of Jack when Jack hauled him in for interrogation, even after Jack physically threatened him. And Zhao Zi is the one who pushes Jack up against the wall during their third kiss after Zhao Zi accepts Jack as a member of his family.

I'd like to think that Zhao Zi might get turned on by Jack being a little dangerous. I think it's totally doable and believable.

It's possible CWH has someone take MSF home - since - he did just keep him from getting shot, and all :D And then they are relaxed enough to have that tea shop heart to heart later.

[doctorskuld]

Is it out of the realm of possibility that MSF somehow managed to get a hold of a taxi (or someone with initiative on CHW's side called one)?

(I realize this is the boring option, but...)

[bonibaru]

He could have Uber'd, lol. I suppose it would have been tricky for a CWH gang car to just drive on up to TY's house and drop off Shao Fei at the door.

Hong Ye would have given him a ride but she would have shoved past him to get to Tang Yi if they'd come home together so I don't buy that option.
