I want Doylist and Watsonian theories for this, please.
Still not the biggest fan of Zhu Yilong's super short hair but with this styling I don't hate it quite as much.
Delightful Zhubai tin-foil hattery.
Fanart: Zhao Yunlan. Roses and glasses. Chibi glasses. All Weilan All The Time. Trying on your bf's clothes. Forehead kiss. Morse code. One of my fave Bai Yu pics (only with maybe not shorts). New Zhubai from Breeze Wong.
Best Squad.
Love bowlerrootx's dedication to Zhubai education.
I would be clamoring to return to work if this were my desk neighbor. Sob.

Untamed/adjacent:
What a voice, wow.
How cultivation sects correspond to art museum departments.

Was scrolling through my Zhu Yilong tag yesterday (bc why not) and found this Zhubai murder husbands vid that I still want fic for.

So, uh, if anyone's curious what I think Shen Wei's body looked like in those dark blue lace briefs from Subtle Reminder.... (yes, this is the same blog that inspired that fic in the first place).

Making slower progress with Duolingo these days. I did my minimum required lesson yesterday, at least! Tried to go for a second lesson, but they threw reflexive verbs at me and I was like Not Today Satan. Eventually I want to learn how to say "go fuck yourself" tho, so I'll need them eventually.

(timezones are so weird, I always kind of enjoy when you're up early and I'm up late so I see your daily posts at night instead of in the morning...)

seems like today is an especially delicious crop of links, thank you! That ring one has one of my all-time favorite Zhu Yilong photos, all amber-toned with the guitar... (For the record I am not WILD about him with short hair but I can live with it; my reaction is mostly dude, you already have like 3x as much eyes as anyone else, now you want to make them even MORE of a thing...?).

Four-letter words and their equivalents are, traditionally, good motivation for language learning. Ask me how I know, as a onetime junior high school teacher...

Thank undeadrobins for giving me motivation to haul my ass out of bed this morning and get on my laptop instead of endless scrolling on the phone under my blankets. 😁

not WILD about him with short hair but I can live with it
Exactly. Would NOT kick him out of bed for it.

Highly! Motivating! An R-rated Duolingo extension would do SO WELL.

I am FINE with the short hair. Also yes please desk neighbor.

[clevermanka]

Congratulations to the short-short hair lovers, y'all are currently well-served!

[yantantether]

That knee! He's gone down hard... 👀

[clevermanka]

MMMM HMMMMM yes let's all think about that for a little while....

Yan! Delivering exactly what we're all thinking. ♥

[minoanmiss]

that's a heckuva blog!

[clevermanka]

It is a very nice blog! 😁

Reflexive verbs sound like Very Serious Grammar. I wish you luck with tackling it!

Ahhhhhhhhhh, so much lovely fanart. My heart. ♥ BTW, this is the original "roses and glasses". The Twitter account reposted it with "credit on picture" but it's really hard to find the original artist if you don't read some Chinese and also have a Weibo account. (I went to look it up for someone else before and still had the link handy.)

[clevermanka]

THANK YOU! Fixed the artist link!

Spanish uses reflexive verbs so much. They can be a nice shorthand and I honestly like how they function (I find Spanish pleasing in both sound and structure) but the actual mechanics of them are (like all fucking verb tenses) Yet Another Thing To Remember.

Excellent motivation for learning reflexive verbs

YES PLEASE.

Yeah, I'm completely with you on this!

(Lately I've been very "Zhu Yilong, grow out your hair. Bai Yu, grow out your beard. YOU ARE NOT CATERING TO ME AND THAT'S WRONG," LOL.)

Very mucha appreciating all the fanart! and all the ZhuBai! and all the everything ...

[clevermanka]

*fistbump!* I hadn't put the two together--ZYL's short hair and BY's lack of beard. Perhaps this is why my id is struggling with my two WIPs?

[trobadora]

I believe there's only one solution to this: rewatch more earlier videos/photoshoots! *g*
