[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.

also i love how beautifully your layout evokes the show's official artwork

I just customized an existing style with the Trapped pink, but thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

but it also felt like jack might be just courting someone who could prove to be useful next time he's in trouble or whatever.

I'd like to think he might have started off thinking that being on Zhao Zi's friend would be useful in the future, but it's clear from the first time he goes to Zhao Zi's house and exchanges LINE contact info with him that he's actually fallen in love with Zhao Zi. It might have taken a bit longer after that for it to truly sink in just how badly he had it.

AND THEN jack shows up with a suitcase and has literally given up his past life for zz, and WOW, did that action speak louder than words

OMG, right? He gave up all the thrill and money from a successful mercenary career to be with Zhao Zi and take care of him. 😭😭😭 This show was so good to us.

Quick little thought: does the Trapped pink come from Meng Shaofei’s frog sweatshirt worn for the bar undercover job?

[doctorskuld]

Oh, that's a good observation! I mean, the two pinks are very close, and that is the only instance of this salmon-y pink, so...perhaps!

God, that frog sweatshirt is like...the most adorable. And it is also one of the first scenes, I think, where MSF starts to acknowledge his feelings for TY.

I love the energy of the scenes with frog-sweatshirted MSF. I’ll save further comments on this topic for the rewatch postings, though.
