I would love to think that that's when Zhao Zi discovers that he loves to 'top' and Jack is like, "Anytime." ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Date: 15 Feb 2020 21:14 (UTC)Zhao Zi, on the other hand, is such a cute naive baby of course he'll panic that he's still a virgin *facepalm* the way Jack laughed at him when he heard Zhao Zi's explanation was precious, I would die of laughter too. *snickers* I mean seriously, Zhao Zi, sweetheart! Too cute! ;;

(ZZ though...the most power-bottom in history.)
the way Jack laughed at him when he heard Zhao Zi's explanation was precious,
I love the trope where one half of the couple is like "Yep, that's the disaster I'm going to marry someday" and this is so true for Jack and ZZ. <3333333

I'm boggled at how they didn't end it obviously on Jack and ZZ getting married in the future, because that was totally the proposal there. XDDDD

Date: 15 Feb 2020 21:41 (UTC)It wasn't 100% how I would imagine their sex life, but it's actually pretty close.
"if it hurts… you have to tell me…”
Zhao Zi imitates the way Jack is always so considerate of his feelings when they’re having sex, and repeats these reminders to Jack.
Jack always being considerate and reminding Zhao Zi to tell him if he's in pain. That totally hits the mark. I mean yes Jack is insatiable in bed but he always makes sure Zhao Zi is enjoying himself. He isn't a selfish lover.
And the way Zhao Zi asks Jack if he is feeling good ...mind you, Zhao Zi thinks he's topping Jack so therefore he's saying things to Jack that Jack usually says to him... so that means Jack is always making sure Zhao Zi likes it. What did I say, my man ain't selfish! <3
“Just now you ate me, so now, it’s my turn to eat you.” these idiots keeping up the food metaphors lolol. Ridiculous! I love them.
otherwise Jack’s stamina is really equivalent to that of a monster’s and if Zhao Zi let him do as he likes, he won’t get to see the sun tomorrow, instead sleeping until it’s time to eat dinner the next day.
This is also +++ lol at how Zhao Zi ONLY worries he has work the next day but that's his only concern with letting Jack do as he likes. If it weren't for work the next day he would have no issues with being eaten by the Jack the whole night and I think that says a lot about how willing he is. No trace of dub-con anywhere.
Oh and I think Kenny also has this view towards Jack, that Jack has a monster's stamina! Remember in that interview when they were roleplaying as Zhao Zi and Jack and Kenny was like 'you beast!' sksksksksksk.
I'm boggled at how they didn't end it obviously on Jack and ZZ getting married in the future
Same! Well, we all know they'll end up marrying each other. xD

Date: 15 Feb 2020 22:03 (UTC)That's a good point, actually, a lot of the details are spot on.
I mean yes Jack is insatiable in bed but he always makes sure Zhao Zi is enjoying himself.
YES. THIS.
I imagine that ZZ is so horny because Jack's never given him a bad lay. ZZ has always felt amazing during sex, because Jack makes sure he feels good. He's attentive and considerate, and he places ZZ's pleasure above his own satisfaction.
That also reminds of that one that interview where the host was like "A few people in the audience wanted you to rip off Zhao Zi's shirt" and Andy goes, "Oh no, Jack would never do that! Jack would be warm and gentle..."
and that says so much about what Jack and ZZ's encounters are like.
SOFT. ｡ﾟ(｡ﾉωヽ｡)ﾟ｡
these idiots keeping up the food metaphors lolol.
Look, the second most important thing in Chinese culture (besides money, LOL) is food. I get it. My mom calls me to catch up and she goes, "Hey, how are you doing? Have you eaten?" Doesn't matter what time of day.
I mean, ZZ's grandmother did say he'd one day find a partner who'd never let him go hungry. Maybe she also meant that metaphorically. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If it weren't for work the next day he would have no issues with being eaten by the Jack the whole night and I think that says a lot about how willing he is. No trace of dub-con anywhere.
My brain just ground to a halt imagining Jack and Zhao Zi going at it literally ALL NIGHT LONG.
*opens Spotify and puts on "Get Lucky"*Zhao Zi just wanting it as heavily as Jack does.
(□_□) *stares off into space forever*
Remember in that interview when they were roleplaying as Zhao Zi and Jack and Kenny was like 'you beast!' sksksksksksk.
I DO! The extent to which Andy is grinning as he says this, and Kenny is pretending to be embarrassed but he's really grinning too...
UGH, THESE TWO.
I swear, on the weekends, Jack and Zhao Zi have sex like...6 times.
And Zhao Zi shows up to work on Monday and his colleagues are like, "Do anything fun over the weekend?" and Zhao Zi's brain is just going "JACKJACKJACKJACKJACKJACK" while trying to think of something, anything to say other than "Jack."
He doesn't always succeed, sometimes he accidentally says it out loud.no subject
Date: 15 Feb 2020 23:13 (UTC)Absolutely, he's always making sure Zhao Zi is enjoying it, makes sure Zhao Zi comes first. Even here, Jack was surprised he came first because he usually makes sure Zhao Zi is satisfied before himself.
That also reminds of that one that interview where the host was like "A few people in the audience wanted you to rip off Zhao Zi's shirt" and Andy goes, "Oh no, Jack would never do that! Jack would be warm and gentle..." That interview is a blessing. Andy's view of Jack is probably the most accurate, I mean he WAS Jack, he was in Jack's skin, understood the character so much. Andy says that Jack would never do that and Jack would be gentle. And I totally see it that way too. Jack was never able to hurt Zhao Zi, even when he captured him in order to interrogate him, he wasn't in love with him yet but he couldn't bring himself to harm him. Jack couldn't hurt Zhao Zi then so how could he hurt him now when he is so hopelessly and utterly in love with him? No way, Jack would rather walk through fire.
My brain just ground to a halt imagining Jack and Zhao Zi going at it literally ALL NIGHT LONG.
Zhao Zi just wanting it as heavily as Jack does.
Jack is canonically insatiable and they go at it for hours. *chokes* Woah boy~! Jack's monster stamina lol Zhao Zi is a lucky one! And I agree, Zhao Zi wants it a lot. Jack said it himself 'I've never seen someone so horny'. I mean, first of all, Zhao Zi was a virgin for 28 years. He has never been touched for so many years. All that pent up sexual frustration?? Of course he'll be horny. And most of all~ Jack is such a hunk~!! I wouldn't let him out of bed, I imagine Zhao Zi is the same. xD
And Zhao Zi shows up to work on Monday and his colleagues are like, "Do anything fun over the weekend?" and Zhao Zi's brain is just going "JACKJACKJACKJACKJACKJACK" while trying to think of something, anything to say other than "Jack."
Ahahahahahha, eventually they stop asking because Zhao Zi gets that dreamy look on his face and gets all glassy eyed. xD Let's be honest, Zhao Zi would be so thoroughly and happily fucked out on Mondays he would be floating in the clouds.

Date: 16 Feb 2020 13:58 (UTC)If you think about the job of the top as having the responsibility and taking care of the pleasure of the bottom, I think it's cute and makes sense that Zhao Zi 'topping' (actually being a power-bottom) makes Jack come first? It's cute, IMHO. Zhao Zi is trying to be the one who takes care of Jack's pleasure in return. ADORABLE.
That interview is a blessing.
When I feel sad, I watch that interview, on lie. And it fills me with warmth and joy and Andy Bian's inherent cuteness.
Jack couldn't hurt Zhao Zi then so how could he hurt him now when he is so hopelessly and utterly in love with him? No way, Jack would rather walk through fire.
It has just occurred to me that the next installment of Househusbands needs to be Zhao Zi suffering a mild, everyday insult (passing homophobic comment from a colleague in another division? Getting yelled by the owner of the other car when he was driving to a crime scene and had a car accident? Accidentally bumping into an angry teenage jock on the street and getting roughly shoved?) and the next scene Jack is in the backyard unearthing the box he's buried all of his guns in, about go all John Wick on somebody's poor ass.
Ahahahahahha, eventually they stop asking because Zhao Zi gets that dreamy look on his face and gets all glassy eyed. xD Let's be honest, Zhao Zi would be so thoroughly and happily fucked out on Mondays he would be floating in the clouds.
HAHAHAHA, imagine this happening in the Captain Jack AU.
Jack comes by while Zhao Zi is fumbling for an answer, and surreptitiously pinches him in the butt.
Zhao Zi yells out, "Jaaack!" all startled, while Jack innocently continues where he'd been going.
Jun Wei suddenly gets it, flushes red, and scurries back to his desk.

Date: 16 Feb 2020 18:46 (UTC)It is, it's so sweet how considerate they are of each other. Jack is so good to him in bed, Zhao Zi wants to make him feel good too.
When I feel sad, I watch that interview
Same, I have 4-5 videos I watch whenever I'm sad and they immediately make me feel better. Like, that skit Andy and Kenny did in Thailand about Titanic? I laugh every time. Every! Time! Just thinking about it makes me smile. They are such dorks. The dorkiest! The weird duo. Ahhh, I love them. ;;
Because I'm late to the fandom I think I haven't yet watched ALL materials. There is still more to discover. xD
and the next scene Jack is in the backyard unearthing the box he's buried all of his guns in, about go all John Wick on somebody's poor ass. lolol Jack is ridiculous enough to do that. Zhao Zi! Please stop your silly bf from getting in trouble! Jack would be super protective. I imagine Zhao Zi getting a paper cut and Jack glares at the book and once Zhao Zi isn't looking he burns it piece by piece. xD

Date: 17 Feb 2020 19:07 (UTC)*hides face* OMG, those two and the Titanic skit, it gets me every. single. time.
I imagine Zhao Zi getting a paper cut and Jack glares at the book and once Zhao Zi isn't looking he burns it piece by piece. xD
He tears out every page and watches it burn in the fireplace. OMG, yes. Anybody who ever hurts ZZ is going to get their asses kicked. HARD.
