[admin] Welcome and Introductions

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.

First let me say thank you for creating this comm. ♥

How I came to watch Trapped

In March 2019 I saw some Guardian people on tumblr talking about this upcoming BL drama. I posted then on my dreamwidth that I’m kinda interested. Two weeks later after the 3rd 6 minutes long trailer aired, I was basically already in love. :) And the drama absolutely fulfilled my expectations.

My favorite scene in Trapped

Well, no contest here: Jack/Zhao Zi scene on the stairs in episode 19 – everything about this scene is perfect for me: the way Jack looks at Zhao Zi with such longing, the way Zhao Zi says “Don’t go” through tears, and then of course the most beautiful kiss.

But I also really love Tang Yi and Shao Fei’s first kiss. Let me quote my own post about it: “Tang Yi is all ‘I’m being noble and self-sacrificing here, I must leave you for your own good’, and Shao Fei is like ‘nope, gonna kiss you right now.’ Tang Yi’s face is priceless after the kiss, all blink, blink, blink ‘I’m sorry, I stopped working, I have to reboot right now.”

I like Trapped because

It’s iddy and fun in all the right ways. It has beautiful and interesting characters and two fascinating romances. And I was surprised how much I liked a lot of secondary characters, too: Hong Ye, Dao Yi, Tang Guo Dong, Jun Wei, Andy, Doctor Tang

You can also find me on...

I’m on AO3 here maggie33. I haven’t written any Trapped fic yet, but who knows, maybe it will happen one day. :) I don’t have tumblr or twitter.

Welcome, maggie33! It's so lovely to have you here! I was hoping you would be interested in joining, and I'm very pleased you have. <3

Jack/Zhao Zi scene on the stairs in episode 19

The look on Jack's face in this scene is so cute, the relief and delight he has when Zhao Zi finally reciprocates his feelings, and then the kiss where Kenny used tongue, and you can see it if you zoom in, and then Jack looking so happy when he and Zhao Zi snuggle for a bit <3 <3 <3 I love this scene.

Stebee on Tumblr has posted a little excerpt from the Diary Logbook when they filmed that scene on the 17th day (it was the first of all the Jack/Zhao Zi scenes they filmed!)

And I was surprised how much I liked a lot of secondary characters

Same! One of my favorite things was that Tang Yi clearly has a gay posse between Jiang Jin Tang, his boyfriend, Andy and his boyfriend...I want pre-canon fic of Tang Yi's Gay Gangsta Posse so, so bad!

Maybe I should start a plot bunny farm post...

OMG, thank you for linking to that logbook post.

Luckily, the more they kissed, the better the kisses became, and they kissed until they were used to it, until they could kiss anytime.
*hurls self into sun*

Compared to crying scenes, Kenny was less nervous with the kissing scenes.
For less nervous, read VERY ENTHUSIASTIC.

[doctorskuld]

I will never get over Jack tugging on Zhao Zi's lower lip as they part...
*shakes fist at Andy and Kenny*


For less nervous, read VERY ENTHUSIASTIC.

Can you imagine them getting the crying scenes over with and Kenny just throwing himself at Andy? WITH TONGUE.

[clevermanka]

Seriously, that's some GOOD KISSIN' there.

[doctorskuld]

*expires*

[yantantether]

He didn't even know it till he met him, but he was saving his first kiss for Andy Bian ;___;

[doctorskuld]

No other kisses are ever going to compare to Andy Bian's kisses.

Good thing they're going out, so Kenny doesn't have to settle for somebody else's second-rate kisses.

[maggie33]

Ahhhh, that kiss.... *stares for a long, long time* What a lovely way to start my Friday. :DDD

[doctorskuld]

All told, I think I have stared at gifs of Jack and Zhao Zi kissing for literal hours.

There's a nice gif compliation of all their kisses here on tumblr.

[maggie33]

I haven’t seen this excerpt. And it’s adorable, thank you so much for the link.

And yes, you definitely should start a plot bunny farm post. I’ve just read all the comments to this post and there are so many good ideas already. :)
