Thursday Link Dump, et. al.

[clevermanka]

This week's dump on cm.net.

Guardian-ish Twitter:
A thread of Zhu Yilong with that delightful ponytail that he hated so much and a gif of him looking Quite Intense. *fans self*
I laugh every time I see people talk about how "thic" Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong are/were. I love his muscles, but the man is not thic, y'all.
Zhu Yilong from an old promotional shoot sure is something.
Fanart: Domestic happiness with Da Qing.

Untamed Twitter:
If people believed Lan Sizhui was Lan Wangji's biological son.
glymr 's thoughts on Nie Huaisang's feelings about using Lan Xichen for endgame.

General Twitter:
"when i listen to 'Kiss Me' by Sixpence None The Richer i am transported to when i was an angsty suburban caucasian girl who had a crush on the star QB. is this how white people feel about rap songs? i get it now. this is lit." The responses to this tweet are hilarious and bring on some lovely 90s nostalgia.

Someone named Space_Fucker left kudos on Binary System. XD

I'm in the process of preparing the first chapter of Ghost Story for posting tomorrow. So! Exciting!

I always feel guilty for appreciating ponytail Zhu Yilong because I know he hated it. #hardlife.

That Nie Huaisang tweet thread is... something! Something which makes a lot of sense.

TOMORROW! \o/

[clevermanka]

He did hate it, poor thing, and what's weird is I am usually NOT a fan of long hair on dudes. Or, uh...women, now that I think about it because I <3 short-haired butches. But that? That hair looked good. Good enough it's making an appearance in Deconstruction. XD

Tomorrow, Solo! TOMORROW! ahhhhhhhhh! I'm so nervous and excited and ngl I kinda wanna pull the trigger now but I know I'll be happier in the long run if I wait until birthday day (there is a non-zero chance I'll stay up to post it at 12:01am tho).

eta: I am all for anything that highlights the complex layers of Nie Huaisang's Slytherin-ness and that thread is *chef's kiss*

The hashtag Whitebops tweet! Hahahahaha. Thanks for sharing that. Good luck with Ghost Story posting. :)

[clevermanka]

Thank you! I think it's all ready to go now? Of course it took forever because the AO3 posting script kept failing. I blame the unreliable wireless connection at the coffee shop where I was working.

I love the ponytail so much. I don't care what he says, it's awesome.

And that gif is excellent!

I laugh every time I see people talk about how "thic" Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong are/were. I love his muscles, but the man is not thic, y'all.

Wait, what, Bai Yu?????? I mean, Zhu Yilong at least has muscles.

[clevermanka]

Apparently Bai Yu's ass looks significantly more rounded in Fairyland Lovers (from the gifs seen on Twitter, I agree). But he'd need to gain A Lot more to be even approaching marginally fleshy. A lot more.

[naye]

Oh wow, that intense gaze is... intense! Where is it from I wonder?

ALSO: HERE I AM, DOING A LITTLE DANCE OF JOY. YAY GHOST STORY~~~~~!!!

[clevermanka]

Where is it from I wonder?
MY DREAMS.

Oh bb I hope so much that you like it.

[winter_blossom]

Good heavens, that ponytail thread is a gift. (The Korean side of the fandom is a blessing. Most of my favourite Guardian posts are from them.) Can't blame him for hating it, though, since I also keep my hair short enough to not require a ponytail. I do like long hair - on both men and women - though. (Will never get over how good Bai Yu looked as Kunlun, but I much prefer Shen Wei with his modern haircut, which creates a bit of a mental image mismatch, haha.)

...a gif of him looking Quite Intense.

Ooh. Intense^TM is absolutely my favourite look on him!

[clevermanka]

It is an awkward length. I didn't much like it when my hair was that length, either. Nothing short of scarves keeps it out of one's face (which, since I think hair in the eyes is quite sexy is probably why I like that hair on him so much).

[umadoshi]

I love the wee ponytail too! *sad* (And when he brings the intensity. Meep.)

I'm in the process of preparing the first chapter of Ghost Story for posting tomorrow. So! Exciting!

Eeeee! And I hope you have a lovely day tomorrow. *hugs*

[clevermanka]

Love how many of us are fans of that ponytail.

And thank you!

[no_detective]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! and happy posting day for chapter 1!

[clevermanka]

Thank you! IT'S UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
