V brief and literal t/n of the posts, sorry for errors i was sobbing laughing while tling
This is the first author’s post, second will be in the thread
oh my god, so these two fic authors made two separate anon submissions to a Venting for Writers account. first post was about how OP was secretly competing with this writer in popularity (same circle), but the moment the other writer caught covid-
Some top comments from the first author's post:
"don't be such a tsun, you love her🥰"
"goodnight to everyone except for you two"
"is there a fic like this? i want to see it [reaches out]"
"what the hell is this enemies to lovers tsundere love story i ship it so hard!!"
"you know her address, tell us, how long have you been crushing on her?"
"after reading it once more, i support (author
#2
) pinning you to the wall and kissing you after finding out the truth 🤭"
"can i ship it (genuine question)"
"secret crush!! when you get married invite me."
This is a heavy topic. I'll try my best to do it justice, but please forgive me if I don't.
Link Click Season 1 episodes 3-5, the "earthquake arc", and the real-life Sichuan Earthquake that inspired it: A thread.

Out of all the doodles in the artbook, I think this is my favourite hahaha
CXS: Lu Guang, can you see what they're doing??
LG: Looks like they're making Season 2....
what is with the link click team and just dropping the most important announcements out of NOWHERE like s3 being confirmed was literally from an animation team member in one of the BTS videos. and then again by LH0 on twitter. Movie news got dropped in a 2min interview.
LH0 got interviewed on China Movie News. He says "The second season will hurt til the last episode." Because S2 had fan premieres in theatres, LH0 thinks that the donghua's music and animation quality show up quite well on the screen. (1/2)
oh by the way now that the link click season 2 eps are out, can i just draw your attention to the 3d episode cards and the pure rage i felt after the preview when i realised
NEO AURORA has hit 2mil in funding! 2 character songs have been unlocked and are now in production by the VAs, meaning the VAs are likely singing for them.
(Speculated to be one song per trio.)
New art from INPLICK in celebration!
shiguang gets more deliciously angsty when you realise that if lu guang really is from the future, then this cheng xiaoshi maybe was never meant to have a lu guang
So much about the LG time traveller theory captivates me on a sick fucked up level. How does it feel to love a man from afar in multiple lifetimes knowing he’s doomed to die in all but one of them. How far are you willing to go to defy fate and ensure he lives longer.

I’m gonna be real w yall the moment they showed his face i whispered to my friends “omg theyre gonna show his corpse”
and then he opened his eyes and the theatre started clapping and cheering and let me tell you ive never felt so simultaneously let down n relieved
Liu Xiao: "The hunter joins the chessboard to plan a new game."
Birthday: 10th December

A mysterious youth who is the second son of the Liu family and Liu Min's younger brother.

#LCs2e12
new song lyrics: “Ultimately [we] walk towards the darkness”
“Everything familiar will all disintegrate”
“The unknown player on the chessboard”
Update:
- Hui Xiaohui confirmed S3 PV is going to broadcast at Bilibili broadcast next week
- “They told me it was very sweet” (whether or not you trust the link click team on this is another matter)
- She was asked to make a predictions collab video for the Bili livestream-
tw// hanging, suicide
just saying but comprehending how horrible lg must have felt when in s1e1 cxs said he’d hang himself….. augh and the frame in the VORTEX/OVERTHINK mv that implies one of the CXSes actually died that way…
Throwback to that one S1 interview where someone suggested to Li Haolin for CXS to get therapy since his job is so emotionally taxing and LHL said “Isn’t Lu Guang his therapist?”
"Ep9 is finally airing! We at Silin Animation were part of the creative process for certain stylised portions - many thanks to Director Li for his trust and support~

#LCs2e12
sorry i’m still thinking back to the last part the way that lg just . sat himself in front of the table with blood still on his shirt this implies it was less than a day or smth after cxs’s original death he immediately and detachedly made the decision w no hesitation
link click enjoyers i have news for you:
these two cosplayers recently just reenacted the Link Click R&J scene on Bili.
乙帅 - Cheng Xiaoshi (Sampo)
黄靖翔Nathaniel - Lu Guang (Gepard)
you’re welcome ;)
In honour of Link Click Season 2 airing on the 14th of July, here is a chronological list of all the times Lu Guang has been absent or hinted to be dead in official art, PVs etc. since the s1 finale ♥️
(List is non exhaustive. Spoilers, obv!)

This is separate from the s3 PV announcement post b/c this is just Hui Xiaohui theories, but in the same video she theorised that:
- CXS’s death node has not passed yet
- LG and CXS’s first meeting (“How lucky it is that we can meet partners etc”) is future CXS’s last words 🥹
Chainsaw Man: We’ll have different OPs and EDs for all episodes this season! It’s fun and will include references to a thousand movies imaginable!
Link Click, standing over the corpses of a hundred thousand slain fans: Hold my insert song beer
might get cancelled for this but i find it disrespectful when ppl dont stand for the national anthem. personally i think its beautiful and i get goosebumps every time i hear “let it unfold will howling tides give us something to hold"
new tidbits from LHL's new answers:
- cxs and lg's relationship is "pure"
- lg regularly reads books to calm down cause cxs is noisy
- feet sizes
- s3 "it's... being... planned..."
- "everything that is coincidental is actually predetermined/inevitable)
- lc shorts r impt
#LCs2e1
i dont know what to tell you other than when this played in the fan screening everyone around me was going "awww" while i was laughing hysterically under my breath
NO FUCKING WAY LINK CLICK GOT KARINA TO APPEAR AS COSPLAYER FOR THE BILIBILI EVENT ON 23RD JULY?? AS FUCKING???!@?#!? DEMON LU GUANG?????????? IM ??????
@eveiees
Unfortunately it’s hard to find updates considering both writers are anonymous and on confession accounts but I’m defo keeping a lookout for them HAHA
Things a link click fan can run into on Bilibili:
- gay link click animatics
- cheng xiaoshi is dead?!? theory videos
- a fully parodied version of the queencard mv with lyrics like “lu guang isn’t dead” and “we are all lu guang”
actually looking at it most of it are tiny art notes like “when he twists his head make him lean forward a bit” (cxs) but there’s “a gentle, shallow smile” (cxs) and “don’t make him seem weak” (lg) which is nice of them!
People calling him feminine to me is so funny because in Chinese society the sort of cultured, polite, gentle and firm qualities that Zhongli exhibits are all the desired qualities of a refined Chinese gentleman. He is quite literally meant to embody it.
Quick summary (skim) of LH0's post-S2 interview, apologies for any inaccuracies (it's nearly 6am).
- S1's episodic, daily-life format is closer to what LH0 is proficient at as a director. But from feedback and stats, the Emma arc performed better than an episodic show; this--

The new Link Click season (?) covers CXS and LG's overseas trip (with Liu Xiao) sighted in the bg. It's named Link Click: Ying Du (Ying Du being the city that they visited overseas)
Looking through Weibo, one of CN fandom's main theories at the moment (also supported by hui xiaohui) seems to be that LG is from the future and what we're seeing now is all moments in the photos after he's gone back to the past.
I’ll tell you a story.
Once there was a man who wanted to fix everything. He begged on bended knee for a chance to turn back time… And when he got it, history repeated itself. “Good job,” we told him. “That’s your fate.”
He asked us, “Once more?”
A girl that always wears a mask.
Unable to talk when she was younger. Along with her mother Liu Lan and her brother Li Tianchen, she was enveloped in the shadow of her father’s domestic violence.
Regained the ability to speak when older, as well as seemingly another power.

regarding where the fuck they're flying:
in 英都篇, 篇 means chapter.
英 (ying) is the same as 英国 (England).
都 can mean city or capital.
But when 英都 is combined, it can mean Ying City.
So the real question is whether 英都 refers to a fictional city, or England.
Details:
CXS has cogwheels + chessboard as BG, LG has clock + grid, QL has hearts and a mix of grid + chessboard.
CXS and LG’s icons are either fallen-over & empty hourglasses or stylised play/pause buttons (leaning towards the former), QL has what looks like a broken heart
For those who want more unhinged shiguang animatics...
red riding hood cxs with a gun (CN):
3 second fried shrimp shiguang (CN):
i'm not sure what to describe this as:
mostly ive been seeing akeshu fans going has joongdok DIED. has joongdok DEFIED GOD. has joongdok KILLED EACH OTHER.
dying defying god and killing each other is joongdok's middle name at this point guys please

honestly i’m not too mad like yeah this season is a bit sad compared to s1 but hmmm… we were all speculating lg set those rules through personal experience anyways so the lg time traveller theory being confirmed doesnt put me off at all
