Fanart: Zhao Yunlan and Hei Pao Shi. Felted hamster and weasel in The Void. In a fight, right? So cute. So cuddly. Dragon Boat Festival Dumplings! The fact that they're on a scooter makes this even funnier.

LOVE the results of this photo manipulation app.

This behind the scenes rehearsal shot where they're not quite their characters yet. BANANA. Zhao Yunlan--so beautiful.

This is all of us re: Injured Zhu Yilong. Y'all watching The Rebel are so, so brave.

I made myself sad with the ending of a chapter I wrote yesterday.

I have an oil change scheduled this morning.

I need to find a pair of black shoes since mine died halfway through 2020 and I never bothered to replace them.

I start my new job on Friday!

I LOVE THEM ♥__♥

Friday is an odd day to start a new job on.

[clevermanka]

They're SO PRETTY

[clevermanka]

I chose it so I can gett all the HR stuff out of the way then start for real on Monday.

[moodsong]

Sensible. I hadn't thought of that.

[clevermanka]

I can't help it, my mind runs in very bureaucratic ways. 😄 It makes me good with policy (and loopholes) anyway!

[naye]

New job!! On FRIDAY!!! ✨

[clevermanka]

I'm already getting first-day nerves!

[frith_in_thorns]

Am I seriously the only person who finds everything posted using that photo app deeply uncanny-valley-creepy? XD

[clevermanka]

I mean, I find them kind of creepy, too? But there's a lot of creepy stuff I think is, uh, pretty sexy. Soooo... 😅

[nnozomi]

I'm so glad the start of the new job is a source of excitement! Hope you find decent black shoes, which may or may not be harder than finding a decent job (or maybe that's just my feet).

I made myself sad with the ending of a chapter I wrote yesterday.
A promising sign.

Y'all watching The Rebel are so, so brave.
I think there's an interview somewhere where he explains that they had him in mind from the early stages of creating the drama, and it shows; the role plays to his strengths (ie subtle characterization and hurting real pretty) all right...

[clevermanka]

I found these, which I'm gonna order if the local Dansko seller can't get them for me.

Thank you for sharing that bit of info about the casting! It makes me so happy that people are writing good, complex roles for him. I WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY.

[elenothar]

... I'm not brave enough to watch The Rebel until someone else has done it and given me all the appropriate warnings 😅 (though, in the meantime, I'm happy to just appreciatively gaze at the stills/gifs).

[clevermanka]

I might? watch it? someday? when I have a few more emotional reserves (and maybe someone to ~comfort me~ after the sad parts). But in the meantime, I'm here on sidelines with you 100%.

[redheadfae]

Did I ever offer you up my black T-strap (brand name escapes me, they are nurses' shoe brand)?

[clevermanka]

You did not! I'll definitely take a look at them, although I think your feet are a wee bit smaller, so if they don't have a big toe box they probably won't work. I'm running to Costco tomorrow so if you need anything I can pick it up and then look at the shoes when I drop off your cheese?

[marycrawford]

So much agreed on the bravery of those watching The Rebel. I'm so tempted because HIS FACE and I'm so gone on him, but oof. I love that behind the scenes Guardian shot!

[redheadfae]

OK, I'm not needing cheese this time, but I know there's *something* I need. I'll think on that after a rest. BTW, there's nothing at TJ Maxx, except a gray knit spaghetti strap dress in your range. I looked today (and became desperately aware again how much I dislike in store shopping.)

[clevermanka]

Just let me know by noon tomorrow!

Thanks for keeping your eyes open for me.

[clevermanka]

Ooof, indeed.

I love bts stuff bc it reminds me it's just a television show 😆

[islenskr]

So, if the ribbon I sent doesn't work for hair, will it work for shoe laces?

Yay for new job!

[clevermanka]

YAY NEW JOB!

There's always a use for tiny ribbon! Just gotta wait for an opportunity...

[tinny]

I made myself sad with the ending of a chapter I wrote yesterday.

So many good knives!
