I come bearing gifts

I was just wishing there were a SHL community, and then someone on my reading list linked to it.

So would anyone be interested in a big post I just made with fic recs, vid recs, art recs, and a whole bunch of links both for the live action series and the actors?

Oh, wow! :D That's a ton of very cool links; thank you for sharing!

Interestingly, we were just walking about Wen Kexing's shoulder blade fetish and the state of ZZS' back in the rewatch post. :3

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! And thanks for running a community. <3

That was a fairly recent link, so it might have sprouted on twitter from the conversation here.

I'm now wanting a compilation of scenes from all of the Zhang Zhehan shows where he takes off his shirt in the first episode to show off a variety of scarring. He's bizarrely consistent.

LOL

Yes, there should be one! I haven't seen him in anything else, but it sounds like that would be worthwhile to see. Maybe he gets it written into his contracts.

So far I've seen:
Demon Girl (2016) - I think no scars, but maybe he was shirtless once. Hmmmm... pajamas once. Shirt unbuttoned for torture in episode 12 - https://youtu.be/nIW95ywsXQY?t=911 - but this one is the exception (so far)

Legend of Yun Xi (2018) - in which a major subplot of the first 10 episodes is trying to see ZZH's character naked (to check for a birthmark), which includes scenes like - https://youtu.be/SacFYmZEQCI?t=473 (but after that subplot he stays pretty buttoned up)

Everyone Wants to Meet You (2020) - in which it's much less than most of these, but his character has an identifying burn on his shoulder - https://youtu.be/lILvH9T6enI?t=2060 & https://youtu.be/yKunp2Q4Res?t=2127

and I've just started
The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion (2020) - 10 minutes and 45 seconds into the first episode you have ZZH's character taking a bath showing off his scars. It's on Viki (https://www.viki.com/videos/1176933v-the-blooms-at-ruyi-pavilion-episode-1), but youtube only seems to have short clips

You are delightfully thorough! :D

So much good stuff here, thanks for sharing!
