AITA? I (26 M) Assumed The Bounty Hunter Out To Kill Me (18 M) Was A Woman. In My Defense, He Was Dressed

AITA? I (26 M) assumed the bounty hunter out to kill me (18 M) was a woman. In my defense, he was dressed as such, with a long wig and feminine clothing. He seemed unreasonably annoyed at this, and all I said was that I didn’t “expect” the chain user to be a woman, which he was so peeved about he had to reveal his true gender to me. I dunno did he also think the chain user being a woman was incomprehensible? I admit I have my personal biases but I consider myself a feminist.

Edit: He’s trying to kill me because about 5 or 6 years ago me and my friends slaughtered his entire family.

Edit 2: I obviously respect women, three of my friends are women, I just was surprised initially that one could apprehend me in such a way since they’re small and weak. And obviously he was more surprised otherwise he wouldn’t have blown his cover.

Edit 3: oh my goddd enough with the whole “yta you killed his entire family” that was 6 years ago get a life smh

My Roommate is a Detective (2020)

Set in the mid-1920s. A resourceful young police officer named Qiao Chu Sheng is on the trail of a brutal but devious killer. Realizing that the police force will need some extra help with this difficult case, he decides to form an elite crime-busting detective team. He reaches out to a young man who has recently returned from studying in Great Britain, Lu Yao. Qiao Chu Sheng has learned that Lu Yao has remarkable powers of deduction and a brilliant mind – and believes he can help crack this difficult case. To round off the team, he enlists the help of Bai You Ning, a focused young female reporter for a daily newspaper. A free-thinking, independent young woman, she has a strong sense of justice – and pledges to help catch the killer. The trio form a small detective squad that specializes in solving strange and unsettling murder mysteries.

Cast: Hu Yi Tan, Zhang Yunlong, Xiao Lan

REVIEW:

Enjoyable male leads, Hu Yi Tan and Zhang Yunlong are both funny and good looking hard to resist their charm. Their bromance in the show is great, Lu Yao (Hu Yi Tan) is a scaredy cat but a good detective even though he isn't an actual detective but more of a hired consultant when it comes to the cases, Qiao Chusheng (Zhang Yunlong) is charming and has that kung fu whit with his background being part of the mafia in china before being an Inspector for the Chinese police, The men are enjoyable to watch, but the female lead Xiao Lan as Bai Youning is one that will make your eyes roll when she is in the scene with the men but somewhat can be bearable at times. I preferred that she was either written as less annoying and dumb and more professional since she is supposed to be a journalist she acts more like a child who is just trying to annoy her father who is the powerful mafia-esque man in the city. I feel like this drama shouldn't need a female as a possible love but she ends up being it for Lu Yao. The chemistry feels more like a brother/sister thing with the way they act around each other and even Qiao Chusheng cant stand it either he walks either out the room when they bicker like siblings.

Dont get how they can actually have any romantic feelings though with the way they are written, Lu Yao being a smart yet scared man when it comes to danger and her acting like a little girl who just wants to make her father angrier when she is being disobedient. For a character who is supposed to be a journalist, she seems to do a decent job at getting answers but no manners at or professionalism when its expected when she is at a crime scene and such. Also dont really get why they have americans who seem to have a side agenda to get rid of Lu Yao which is odd and funny when they talk bc their voices seem dubbed in a horrible way even when Lu Yao and Bai Youning speaks their english is just smh bad hearing.

The only interesting thing mostly is the cases flow after each other episode-wise, when they solve one case another pops up right after. It usually takes two maybe 3 eps to solve a case but there's a flow to each ep after one ends and so on. Its the case-solving that interests me being a period type C drama. There is something about the plot that is similar to something that the US has done with a character that solves cases but has strong character to help out. Kinda like CASTLE, The Mentalist they both had that element with someone solving cases but needing the police to help close the case. China seems to take some spins on the american dramas which can be done vise versa.

If you are interested in looking for some fun case-solving stories in a Chinese drama this one would have to be one of them to watch. You might want to end up skipping scenes that have Bai Younning in it though which some say is true she's just a bad fit in a drama like this., but the men do alot more of the work than her which is more interesting so stay for the case solving and skip her if your use to annoying female leads which mostly happens when she acts like a child around Lu Yao.

I can't stop thinking how it would be like if Lestat had his interview with Daniel instead of Louis:

"He was the most beautiful man I've ever seen. He also hated himself, which always helps."

"And then he accused me of killing his brother. As if I didn't wait respectful three days after his death to ask Louis back to my bed."

"His mother was hateful. I could smell it. Great fashion sense though. Dark green was in season at the time."

"I turned him in a church. It was...Oh Daniel, the English language fails to capture the picture. Mainly because it's a garbage language."

"He was really freaking out about the baby, like they can't make a new one."

"And then he went into the woods with him. Like a common prostitute."

"So, Daniel, wanna fuck?"

"Naturally Claudia was an ungratefull little brat, who would be nothing without me. But she at least hunted people, which was more than what Louis was doing. Do you have any idea how humiliating it is to live with a vampire who hunts vermin? Like a glorified house cat. Which he also ate. I was disgusted and yet I never judged him for it."

"I record one duet and suddenly I am cheating. I mean I was and he did catch me in bed with her, but he was such an over-reacter Daniel I am telling you."

"She didn't want to finish THE GAME?!!! Who does that?!! What kind of self-absorbed, inffuriating- NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!!!! *French cursing*"

"So, I turned her into a vampire. In retrospect it was a waste of time and blood. She lasted like two months. And ugh, the attitude."

"Louis cried, he still loved me I could see it. I could feel it. Claudia just used me as an ink bottle. I had to respect the commitment. Follow through was something Louis always strugled with."

"No, but seriously Daniel, I think we should fuck."

"And he put me in a light oak coffin that opened from the inside. After I specifically requested Rosewood. I know it was Claudia's doing."

"In the end *dramatic pause* I ate the rats. When I was younger I thought I would rather have been dead than to stoop so low, but here we were."

"I miss him Daniel, he was the reason I wanted to survive. Claudia hopefully perished in Central Europe somewhere. With her mismatched skirts."

"I won't turn you, but I can give you a night you won't forget until the end of you pathetic little human existance. You can top I don't care."

Fic recs for this post, because how could I not!?!!  Kudos to everyone that jumped in the comments and left links. 💜

erroneous manoeuvres by slippingfromreality | 5.3K

“Hey, Stilinski!”

Stiles clenches his teeth. “What do you want, Hale?” he shouts back, not bothering to turn around. The smug smirk that’s most likely waiting for him is already seared into his mind from overexposure.

“A date!” the answer comes, still as loud, and most of the bystanders giggle or snort in Stiles’ direction.

Stiles rolls his eyes. This is the third time this week. He’d complain that Hale’s jokes are getting pretty stale, but he’d probably be milking this situation for all that it’s worth, too, if their roles were reversed. “Wrong aisle,” he grouses back, “try the bakery section. I hear they have fresh tarts.”

“Alright, cool, we should go,” Stiles says breezily, dusting off his hands as he stands.

“We should?”

“Yeah!”

“But… Do you even care about photography?”

“Not as much as I should,” Stiles plants both his hands on the table, bracketing Derek in, “You’ll have to correct my miscreant ways.”

“Okay, how ‘bout this? One date, just one date, and if you still don’t believe I’m genuinely interested in you, then I’ll leave you alone for good. How does that sound?”

Derek hesitated for another moment, before he sighed and said, “Fine. One date.”

He holds up his free hand, eyes still closed. “One second,” he says through gritted teeth. “I’m just taking a moment to mourn the fact that we could have been fucking since–” He cracks open an eye and glares at Derek.

“Freshman year,” Derek supplies. “I’ve pretty much had the biggest crush on you since our freshman year.”

Hotsky to Trotsky by paintedrecs | 3.3K

Derek had his future mapped out: there’d be graduation, followed by college, followed by (he hoped) a good grad school, then a career as a professor whose students didn’t spend their time flicking paper footballs at each other and obsessing over their dating lives. He had good friends, a good family, and no time to focus on distractions like high school gossip or relationships.

He hadn’t factored Stiles Stilinski - lacrosse player, class clown, part of the popular crowd, currently spending his entire day staring at Derek and smiling - into his plans.
