A favor at the bottom

[clevermanka]

Guardian/adjacent:
Daily reminder of Bai Yu's beauty. Need another one? How about his arms?
Daily reminder of sleeve garters.
Yes, Border Town Prodigal 🔥 but I'm mostly dying over the emoji. _(:3 」∠)_
Fanart: Beware knives. Flirty Zhao Yunlan. Vacation! Prof. Shen thinks of Kunlun.

Untamed/adjacent: 
Fanart: Modern CQL Jiang Cheng and little Jin Ling.
The phrase "Not to be that guanyin temple bitch" almost makes me want to dive into joining the Untamed fandom (I am not though).

I am feeling a little less clever about my theory regarding John Wick as Fairytale but at least I'm in good company? Here's my post about it in case you missed it. Talk to me about fairy tales anytime, seriously.

In light of that mention of hugs as a social thing in China a couple days ago, this Harper's Bazaar shoot made me go hmmmmm.

I'm looking for high-res pics of masked Hei Pao Shi looking pretty much straight at the camera, and same for Shen Wei. This is not an easy thing to find since, in general, that's something you avoid as a screen actor 😄. I found four of each but if you've something easily to mind/hand, would you mind dropping a link in a comment? Or email it, if you have it downloaded. If you've got something with Zhu Yilong full face forward like in a photoshoot, especially if he's got the ponytail, that would be extra fantastic. I think I've got enough for the person making my cover, but, you know... more options is always better.

That second BY link — goatee and swept back hair — I think that is my favorite look of his. Such a hard choice to make, but I think that’s it. I love him. And I am just weeping every day over that Jiang Cheng/Jin Ling modern AU. Full on ugly crying in my soul. 💜💛

I'm such a sucker for curls falling over a forehead.

LITTLE BABY JIN LING 😭

T___T FOREVER

[clevermanka]

It's such a tragic combo of "I love this show but don't desire more than casual fannish engagement" and "gah! fandom big! too big!"

[goss]

Heh. You're making me wish I had a reaction gif/icon of Wei Wuxian pouting like a 3-year-old. :b

[clevermanka]

Believe me, if I could pick the things I do/don't fall in love with... (well, I still would have picked Guardian 😆)

[goss]

*snugs* <3

[goss]

If you've got something with Zhu Yilong full face forward

Huh. It feels like I have a million Zhu Yilong/Shen Wei pics, but they're all different angles because I ADORE how the light hugs his face.

The only ones I found head-on are here and here. Not exactly what you're looking for, sorry. :/

But they did cause my eyes to snag on this completely unrelated one, which I'd forgotten about. How could I?? *stares, and stares so more* ♥

[clevermanka]

Actually that bb!SW has definite potential, thank you!

Oh yeah, with you on staring at that last one. God. GOD.

[goss]

that bb!SW has definite potential

Awesome! \o/

[marycrawford]

I love that one so much and there's a NIPPLE OUTLINE and :flail:

[goss]

YESSSSSSSSSS *____*

[clevermanka]

Wow thanks for pointing that out, now all I can think about is my mouth on it (or, you know, ~someone's~ but I wouldn't complain if it were mine).

[marycrawford]

I have one of masked Hei Pao Shi for you (that I also saved as art reference, heh):

[clevermanka]

Yay! This is one I had already picked out, but much larger, so big thanks!

[marycrawford]

Aw yay, glad to help! I just have a huge filefolder and no idea who took this screenshot alas, but I appreciate them all the same. <3

[marycrawford]

And ALMOST full-front Shen Wei, no glasses though:

[clevermanka]

Thank you! (also weeping from beauty)

[marycrawford]

Yeah just picture my usual swearing at how UNFAIRLY LOVELY he is because jeeeeeez (and you're welcome :)

[naye]

My Guardian feelings are such that it made me a bit emotional to see Bai Yu with a lollipop again...!

Emailing you some pics.

[clevermanka]

it made me a bit emotional to see Bai Yu with a lollipop again
I had the EXACT SAME reaction!

[calystarose]

from the bottom of my heart, I am grateful to Harper Bazaar's ongoing gay agenda :D

[clevermanka]

Even their general aesthetic is just *chefs kiss* If only they'd get Zhu Yilong on the cover again so we could get some Good Fucking Food Finally.

[naye]

Just scrolling through and:

_(:3 」∠)_

I love it and am adopting it for my own.

[clevermanka]

Bless the people still making ASCII emojis.

[tinny]

Thank you - again - for all the twitter links! So many new (and old) pics of them that I hadn't seen before.

n light of that mention of hugs as a social thing in China a couple days ago

Did I miss that? What was said?

[clevermanka]

Here's the very short discussion.

[tinny]

thank you! Ah, yes, yes, I'd read the question. so there hasn't been an answer since.

I mean, they hug *a lot* in the bts videos, so it might be a conscious decision - maybe censorship-related again? But I don't think it's a specifically Chinese thing not to hug.
