Happy March or Happy Leap Day, depending on where you are in the world!

We’re still glowing from the lovely energy that the exchange created, thank you all so much for making it such a wonderful experience for everyone! It exceeded our wildest expectations in both number of fanworks and type of fanworks, and we are so honoured to have been able to create a space to make that possible 🥰🎉✨

I didn't take instantly to Zhao Yunlan. (And I've been paying for that ever since. I was wrong! He's adorable and utterly awesome!)

He is all of that and more, but it took me a little while to realize, too! I still remember that I didn't find him particularly attractive at first - which is something I am now honestly at a loss to explain. ;-)

Its sense of morality. (Well, I love WeiLan above all, but that's kind of obvious.) The show points out that acts can have their gray interpretations, that evil can be acknowledged and even atoned for, and that even the most awful of villains is ultimately just a failed human being.

This is very true - and it's definitely something I also appreciate about the show. Just like the way some of the most tragic events in the series are triggered not by malice or misunderstandings, but by regular, flawed people on both sides.

I love the way you put that. That's so true, and gives me a lot of fascinating ideas about Dark Energy...

I've been in fandom since before dinosaurs roamed the internet

A lot of fannish dinosaurs seem to congregate in Guardian fandom, for some strange reason. I'm also one! :-)
