just because it's coming out now i'm gonna leave my two cents here: the cn gov't was always going to block ao3, regardless of the actions of those xfx. don't forget, the cn gov't is who's truly at fault.
however, that doesn't mean what those xfx did wasn't fucking shitty
why the fuck is it your moral compass that gets to decide what other people are allowed to consume? why is it that your self interests are what get to wreck a whole community?
for everyone who's saying "it isn't xfx fault they didn't want ao3 blocked they just felt the fic was ~immoral~ and only wanted it/its author removed" it's this censorship-as-morality fucking anti bullshit that gets us to these places.
because don't forget for a fucking second that this is the kind of thinking that the cn gov't uses. what THEY think is good is the only thing that should be seen. what THEY think is inappropriate is what gets blocked. every single fucking anti is EXACTLY in line with them
[ENGSUB] extras from
#WangYibo
's <Cat Eye Celebrity> interview.
Featuring Wang Yibo's revealing his "secrets", except they're literally just facts about Valentino Rossi 😐
thanks for telling me that you believe the THEORETICAL harm to a celeb's career was a legitimate reason to ACTUALLY harm a real person whose only crime was writing a fucking fictional story
anyway a fun chinese webslang etymology for you all
if you have barrage comments on you might’ve seen the phrase 红红火火恍恍惚 (lit. “flourishing” and “confused”) BUT it’s usage online has nothing to do w the actual meaning of the words; it actually means “hahahahahahaha”
everyone tell me 'BUT THINK ABOUT XZ'S CAREER'
cool, thanks for explicitly stating that you care more about a celeb's career and not the MILLIONS of people who no longer have access to one of the few places where they could post fic without fear that it'd be purged one day
wyb & cheng xiao's combative sibling relationship is possibly one of my favorite things in the world
wyb: straight up invited cx to his bday ddu episode as one of his close friends
wyb: has done 294858327 dance stage collabs w her
wyb: idk her
cx: 🙄
translated one of the transcriptions from today's livestream of sam's reflections on his interpretation of gao shide as a character and what
#WeBestLove
means to him
original transcription:
also a super cute detail from one of his outfits for laneige: the stylist gave palm tree and pineapple lapel pins.
(coconut) palm in chinese is 椰树 (ye1 shu4), pineapple is 菠萝 (bo1 luo2).
together they make 椰菠 = yebo = yibo
and every single fucking post i see trying to protect xfx claiming that it's because wyb was a minor in the fic like. it's real fucking weird how it's xfx who are implicated in this situation and not mtjj if that's the problem
wyb's shoot for the chanel exhibition was seriously gorgeous though. something about the photos give me serious prince(ss) trapped in a rose garden vibes.
continuing adventures in trawling through old uniq blogs:
perfectly combines my laughing forever @ wyb's indignation over being called pretty + sad feels abt younbo
pre-orders for the

people being all awestruck by this is honestly funny because mxtx basically did the Chinese equivalent of "the lone star sect lives in Texas, so they all ride horses and go yeehaw a lot"
Wow, MXTX said she planned all the MDZS houses on a map of China! 😲 These places are REAL (ish)!

this is definitely "young widow whose much older very rich husband suddenly died under mysterious circumstances meets with private eye while still in mourning clothes from funeral that morning" aesthetic yes?

i'm just as tired of anti culture as anyone else but western fandom has just as much of a problem with antis as cn fandom does. ao3 was eventually gonna be blocked. don't lose sight that the biggest culprit here is still the gov't that would block a website for these reasons.
wyb ytube cooking channel AU where he does everything in just slightly the wrong way. the food comes out ok but it's very Uncomfortable to watch
there's a lot of debate about whether his channel is meant to be some sort of critique on social norms or is just him dicking around

#yinzheng
interview with Orange Entertainments <Spicy Interview> (2/3)
#/model fan yz tells you that admiring your idols' works+character is ok but stop poking into their personal lives.
also shipping/fanfic isn't just about banging it's about FEELINGS
because i am doing my best to avoid actual work, thinking about doing a brief rundown on some c-fandom terms (e.g. HE/BE, kdl/kswl, xql, 美帝, 北极圈, etc), so if any of y'all have terms that you've been curious about, drop 'em here :)
wyb fans truly have that jiejie energy. refusing to let him live in his ~cool guy~ delusion and constantly pulling receipts on how embarrassing a human being he really is lmao
suddenly thinking about how fans keep asking wyb to post 9/18 selfie sets (weibo displays up to 9 photos at once, and accepts up to 18 attached photos)
WAS THIS ALL JUST A SET UP FOR A JOKE
ethika is apparently one of li zong’s sponsors and they sent care packages to li zong, wyb, & yz containing branded hats, socks, and 3 pairs of Valentino Rossi special edition boxer briefs 😂😂😂
me: hmm i wonder what it is about xz and wyb and the ways they're marketed that makes xz fans seem more protective of his image and wyb fans more willing to make fun of him?
*post abt wyb's 'my cock is gluten free' jeans appears on TL*
me: ah, that's it
this is what the yellow pair looks like, btw, so wyb now canonically owns a pair of underwear with rossi’s name branded across his ass because reality is slowly unraveling one day at a time
me: doesn't it look like they've recently broken up and are at the stage where they're both still hurting but trying to remain civil at public functions?

[ENG TRANS] 210303 Star ETToday Article on the
#WeBestLove
premiere conference (note the article is
#SamLin
focused)
possible tw: stress-induced eating disorder
original article:
watching ytube compilations of cute moments w abbis & god woojin was SO delighted to have daehwi hug him during this mission even though he basically made daehwi do it lol
just had a moment of realizing that the whole 'you can only be a fan of unproblematic media and create unproblematic fan content' movement basically operates on the exact same precepts as the ccp's 'all media must promote correct morals and positive energy' content laws
the fact that the WBL cast took turns listening to ray's heartbeat because they wanted to know if they could hear it through his thickass pecs is the reason why i will never know peace
do you ever think about how mxtx clearly had lwj do handstands/have super strong arms for hornee™️ reasons but then made it into a plot relevant point? honestly, aspirational

about
#WeBestLove
ft: sam describing his method of wooing other people and how he's not good at romance
source:
i love that all wyb's sponsorships have clearly decided they're just gonna meet him where he is. the ad starts "hi, i'm the 'loves to skateboard and motorbike' wang yibo" and involves him describing the Q2L models as a pair of fun loving ~cool guys~
i can't believe wyb invited his friends onto ttxs and they basically tried to out him on public television nglskjdf
yixuan: wyb is v aegyo w me and will hold my hand when he sleeps
chengxiao: wyb = tangseng b/c doesn't really like girls
wenhan: i'm wyb's childhood sweetheart
there's a certain subsect of
#wyb
's photoshoots where he appears to be trying to convince the viewer to ravish him and this one is probably the pinnacle of that
