Guardian/adjacent:
Another new Guardian bts gif.
It really doesn't matter how much I hate the plot of the new Zhu Yilong ads, it gave us Zhu Yilong with his hands bound and held right in front of his crotch. See also naye's lovely gifspam.
More bts stuff for Zhu Yilong ads (other than this current one).
Bai Yu in glasses.
Zhu Yilong at Cannes, May 2019 pushed me over into obsession with him and his hideous beautiful face. 
Bless the people making these fake posters.
Fanart: Pei Wende and sorry I don't know ZYL's character's name. Love seeing Bai Yu's character being the serious one for once.

Untamed/adjacent:
Holy shitballs, this Untamed album vid to Welcome to the Black Parade.
Wang Yibo's  A.I. project for GQ, with translation. Slightly longer clip on Tumblr.

Doesn't matter if you've seen HIStory 3: Trapped, please check out this video of Andy Bian sparring. (oh the bitter tears of what we could've had with more Jack fight scenes)
 
I'm trying Real Cream in my tea today. It's...oddly flavorless? Very strange. I'm horrified to think I might actually prefer coconut milk now? Frankly, I refuse to believe that, so I'm going to finish this mug and maybe try a second just to make sure. We'll know tomorrow if this was a successful introduction.

I posted a bit of happiness on brush_and_lantern, and then wrote knives, so guess what y'all are getting today!

Shen Wei hoped against hope that Zhao Yunlan would never discover how similar to Ye Zun he really was, in his weaknesses as well as his strengths. He broke the kiss as gracefully as possible, burying his face in the crook of Zhao Yunlan’s shoulder, using his rapid breathing as a cover for the surge of guilt and fear. He cursed himself for falling out of the moment, distracted from the limited time he had in this perfect, temporary life. He cursed himself for not deserving Zhao Yunlan’s love. He cursed himself for being such a failure.

The possibility of chemical escape sounded better by the moment.

Awww, poor Shen Wei. Baby!

[clevermanka]

He's just so perfect to run through the wringer of self-flagellation.

OMG thank you so much for linking to that WTTBP vid, I can't WAIT until I have 45 mins to watch it. (The first two lines of WTTBP itself is the song I wash my hands to in these pandemic times.)

Poor Shen Wei!

[clevermanka]

That vid! Amazing. AMAZING.

And yes, poor Shen Wei! He's still got a ways to go in this fic, alas.

[wrote_and_writ]

[clevermanka]

Fortunately, he's used to being injured!

[wrote_and_writ]

How..... dare..........😭😭😭😭

[xparrot]

Oh Shen Wei. Your undeserved guilt is so sad (also so delicious, tragically for him with all of us writing him!)

Chemical escape though...I believe you did mention that to me once...!

[clevermanka]

SO DELICIOUS. as is this upcoming scene omg. I'm so much looking forward to writing it, but first I gotta get them through some Fraught Sex and I think aliens have taken my brain bc I'm having real problems with that rn? Ugh.

Holy shitballs, this Untamed album vid to Welcome to the Black Parade.

Ooh, thank you for the heads-up on this!

I love the W1bo-805 photoshoot and videos. The accompanying story...is okay. Personally, I think the visual narrative presents something far more evocative and potentially innovative.

Feeling the same way about Zhu Yilong's new L'Oreal campaign...
