Xiao Zhan has no chill

XZS posting pairs of movie tickets at 10:30 (YiZhan) for the first two days of Yibo's new movie was such a proud husband gesture that I had to wonder whether the pattern would have continued every day during Yibo's roadshow if Xiao Zhan's "Where Dreams Begin" director hadn't suddenly died.

I wonder no more.

Today at 10:30 (YiZhan), on the 28th (love Bo day), XZS suddenly dropped a bomb of a post, posting 18 (yibo) photos, 8 (bo) of them styled as movie tickets.

It's like Xiao Zhan realized that Yibo had been sending all these loving missives during his road trip and he owed him a letter in return. This post marked "the seventh day of the lunar new year" (大年初七), so why are there 8 movie tickets? Why not 7 movie tickets? Or 7 pairs? Or the 3 pairs of tickets that weren't sent during the last three days of Yibo's road show? You just wanted to kadian 8? Okay, fair.

And 18 total photos? Yibo photos? That's... a lot of photos, a visual bomb of photos.

So loud, Xiao Zhan. So loud.

Yibo had to have noticed, right? Because YBO posted a response at 12:13 (你爱一战, ni ai YiZhan, "you love YiZhan"), as if to say, "Wow, Zhan-ge, you really love YiZhan, huh?"

Oh look, YBO also notes that this post is to mark "the seventh day of the lunar new year" (大年初七), just as XZS's post did. It also talks about going back to work, also as XZS's post did. And there's that starry-eyed emoji with the flower, which ended every "Hidden Blade" road show post.

Finally, doesn't that third photo look a little different, just a bit brighter?

I wish they'd gotten more of a break together this CNY, but it's lovely to see these little symbols of the connection they have, no matter how far apart they may be.

This is all fan fiction, right?

He's so proud

Hey remember when Xiao Zhan went to Milan for Fashion Week, not even a month ago? When he showed up looking like this?

(Sorry not sorry for the emotional damage, I missed posting on Tumblr for a few months, and I need this photo on my blog...)

Anyway, XZS produced an amazing vlog afterwards, as they do, and in the middle of it, there's a sequence of screens quoting a line from the movie, Mary Poppins:

The quote is: "Winds in the east, mist comin' in, like something is brewing and about to begin. Can't put my finger on what lies in store, but I feel what's to happen all happened before."

The line is spoken by Dick Van Dyke's character Bert, a chimney sweep who's friends with the title character Mary Poppins (played by Julie Andrews). He says this shortly before Mary Poppins makes her dramatic entrance, with a windstorm that blows away all the rival nannies, clearing the way for her to glide in with her iconic umbrella and take the job as nanny to the Banks children.

Oh... so many umbrella shots from Milan...

OK, so why is this Mary Poppins quote in the XZS vlog?

A major theme in Mary Poppins is banking. The family that Mary Poppins works for is the Banks family. And the father, George Banks, is a banker. He tries to teach the kids the value of money, and there's a whole song about it that ends with the president of the bank stealing the Banks kids' tuppence (an old British coin worth two pence).

ANYWAY. Throughout the XZS vlog, Xiao Zhan is twirling a coin-shaped disc, flipping it, playing with it. It rolls around repeatedly in the video and refuses to be ignored.

XZS wanted us all to see the coin, and now we know why. Yibo has a new drama coming out, and it's about banking.

In the promos for Yibo's new drama, he's playing with a coin, and boy that's a coincidence, isn't it?

Today, Yibo himself posted a poster about the drama, and he's flipping a coin. Just as Xiao Zhan did in his vlog.

And the Mary Poppins quote about the wind coming? "Winds in the east, mist comin' in, like something is brewing and about to begin. Can't put my finger on what lies in store, but I feel what's to happen all happened before."

There have been a couple of Chinese titles for Yibo's new drama. In earlier promos it was called 长风破浪 (Brave the Wind and Waves) and now it's apparently 追风者 (Storm Chaser).

Either way, the title includes the character 风, which means "wind," and the titles evoke a kind of stormy feeling.

XZS was telling us the wind and mist was coming, a storm brewing, and now we've got Yibo's drama (with a stormy title) premiering in just days.

And yeah, "I feel what's to happen all happened before," because Xiao Zhan has absolutely done this before, getting excited about a new Yibo work premiering... remember when he did the movie ticket thing?

Xiao Zhan's brain is so big, and he's such a supportive partner to Yibo, I love to see it. I also can't wait to see Yibo's new drama, it looks so good!

Hey lol

Been a while, so I made this series almost a year ago I think and forgot to update it, I rewrote it so yeah

𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?... 𝐏𝐭.𝟏

It all happened on a night they thought was normal, After a call Lucifer received from the prince of devildom urging him to rush to the castle with his little brothers,

and so Lucifer did..

Going to each room, waking them up one after another until he reached the second born's room, as he called out his name his eyes recognized the emptiness of the roo., Wandering around to locate his figure..

But no one was there..

Lucifer sighed annoyingly, noting mammon's disappearance and shrugging it off with the assumption he was out there being.. him.

Greedy, troublesome and a scum.

He closed the door and walked down, making sure all his brothers are there and finally leaving the house of lamentation.

As they arrived, the atmosphere in the castle was.. dead..

Different from it usual cheerfulness and fanciness, Barbatos greeted them with a smile missing from his face.. He allowed them to walk in and started to lead them to where the rest gathered.

"The rest? Are there others here?"

Leviathan asked the obvious question, Only to be offered a nod from Barbatos.. strange, really.. the butler was unusually quiet, lacking his usual..self? They couldn't spot it..

"Hey Barbatos, is everything okay?"

Asmodeus wondered, an expression of worry replaced his sleepy, grumpy face.

However Barbatos didn't answer.. so they let it go.

As they finally arrived to where the others were, surprised to see simeon, Solomon and even luke while diavolo sat at the head of the table, his fingers locked and head hung down.

His face deprived of any of the cheerfulness and delight he would have to see them.. Barbatos motions them to take a seat and so they did, Sharing confused glares with the three from the purgatory hall.

"So, diavolo, why did you gather us here at this hour?"

Lucifer questioned, hoping for an answer to the inconvenience.

However was met with a dead silence and after followed by a gulp, and before he could speak again diavolo's voice echoed through the dimly lit, gloomy room.

"I'm.. sorry for having you all come here in a short notice.. I'll tell you why just give me a second.."

That's all it took for everyone in the room to know that this was more than just a matter of party arrangements or event announcement..

It was serious.

No one was able to look away from diavolo, sitting with worry at the news that were to come. They prepared themselves,

They prepared for anything that could come out of his mouth... Anything..

But..

"Today.. mammon..

Mammon was found and later announced dead"

oh.

Beware of the ghosts tonight 🎃

[maplerin99821]

Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if we’re already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. “We will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-“ how about you stop “making peace” with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.

Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.

For the great Mammon nothing is impossible

[maplerin99821]

hi! ugh your writing is always so good, i love it sm 😭 if you’re okay with it, could you do another one of the lucifer and mammon sorting out their problems fic? (but maybe this time reversed and it’s mammon helping lucifer, if not that’s fine). thank you <3

let me wrap my teeth around the world

includes: lucifer & mammon

wc: 1k | rated t | m.list | cross-posted on ao3

a/n: ugh this was so fun to write i love exploring them. this is heavy in terms of guilt and lilith so be forewarned, but i hope you like it!! my inbox is open to chat, req, or leave feedback so come say hi!! (title from hozier's eat your young)

please reblog <33

SUMMARY:

"Knock knock,” Mammon calls from the hall, and Lucifer knows he’ll enter his room even if he doesn’t answer. It doesn’t take Mammon long to find him out on the balcony, quiet and contemplative.

“Whatcha up to?” Mammon asks, leaning against the railing and looking at Lucifer. “Everyone’s wondering where you went.”

Lucifer leans back in his chair. “Just thinking.”

Mammon tilts his head in a way that makes his hair fall into his eyes. Instead of brushing it aside like a normal person, he tries, futilely, for several moments, to blow it away. “About what?” he asks finally. “’Cause you look kinda sad.”

Lucifer’s reminded, then, of just how intuitive his normally blockheaded brother could be. “About Lilith,” he answers honestly, and Mammon sucks in a breath.

Swirling the Demonus in his cup, Lucifer looks over the city, bustling and loud, so different from the newly formed and underdeveloped fledgling that it had been when he’d fallen. It had changed so much.

He had changed so much.

The door connecting his balcony and his room is partly open, as is the door from his room to the hallway, so he can hear his brothers squabbling playfully your melodious laugh mixing and echoing with his brothers’.

And it’s wonderful that they can have moments like that. It’s, well, honestly, not something he’d ever expected. Everyone had been so sullen and quiet and angry after they’d fallen, grief from losing Lilith still painfully fresh, and without a common enemy they’d begun to turn on themselves, dynamic not at all helped by the formation of Satan.

And since Satan had all of his anger, Lucifer had just been… tired. And overwhelmingly, achingly sad. For Lilith, of course, but also for the rest of his brothers. If only he had done things differently, handled it all better, been more powerful…

It was no use thinking of ‘what ifs’. Besides, hadn’t he just been thinking how nice everything was? How grateful he was to hear them laughing and joking and teasing? He shouldn't still get caught up in the past.

“Knock knock,” Mammon calls from the hall, and Lucifer knows he’ll enter his room even if he doesn’t answer. It doesn’t take Mammon long to find him out on the balcony, quiet and contemplative.

“Whatcha up to?” Mammon asks, leaning against the railing and looking at Lucifer. “Everyone’s wondering where you went.”

Lucifer leans back in his chair. “Just thinking.”

Mammon tilts his head in a way that makes his hair fall into his eyes. Instead of brushing it aside like a normal person, he tries, futilely, for several moments, to blow it away. “About what?” he asks finally. “’Cause you look kinda sad.”

Lucifer’s reminded, then, of just how intuitive his normally blockheaded brother could be. “About Lilith,” he answers honestly, and Mammon sucks in a breath.

“Jeez, that’s pretty heavy,” he says. “But what about her?”

Lucifer takes a deep pull from his drink, wishing it was more potent. To be honest, though, maybe it was good that it wasn’t because he might be a little drunk already. The other alternative is that he’s losing it from all of the stress he’s constantly under.

“The whole situation. What I could have done differently, how I failed you all. So yes,” he adds with a wry chuckle, “pretty heavy stuff.”

Mammon blinks like he’s having trouble comprehending Lucifer’s words. “Failed us?”

Lucifer waves his hand absently. “You know, how I should have handled the situation better, not let her die, told Micheal to shove it when I had the chance. That sort of thing.”

Mammon is silent for a long moment, then begins to speak, tone strangely earnest. “But you couldn’t have done anything different, Lucifer. That’s the thing. You did the best that you could, choosing family over everything else, and then continued to sacrifice yourself when we got down here. You did so much, do so much, and we all see and appreciate it, even if we’re not really the best at showing it. Nobody blames you for what happened.”

“It sure seems like you did,” he says bleakly, unwilling to meet Mammon’s eyes.

Mammon wrings his hands, a sure sign of his discomfort, but pushes on. “Lucifer, we were hurt! And that’s not an excuse, but it is an explanation. We were hurting, and confused because our whole world was turned upside down, and there you were, pushing on as if it never happened. Now, it’s very clear to me that you were just putting on a brave face, trying to be a good older brother at the expense of your own well-being, but at the time it just seemed like you got over it. Like you didn’t really care. And it also seemed like our words never got to you, which made it easy to ignore the implications of what we were saying and doing.” Mammon’s cheeks are flushed. “Honestly, if anyone did something wrong here, it was me. I was old enough to know better, and yet I just did the easiest thing with no regard for how I was hurting other people.”

“Like you said,” Lucifer says with a shrug, “you were hurting.”

“But that doesn’t make it okay!” Mammon bursts out. “Especially not when I can still see it has an effect on you centuries later! So let me tell you clearly: you are not at fault for anything regarding Lilith. You did your best and protected this family and worked your ass off to get us where we are today. You did everything you could.”

Lucifer hadn't realized how heavy and ever-present the guilt was until it was absolved, making him able to breathe with ease for the first time in he didn’t even know how long. Finding himself blinking back tears, he swallows hard.

“Thank you,” he says. “I really appreciate you saying that.”

Mammon claps him on the shoulder awkwardly. God, neither of them are good at this sort of thing.

“Is there anything else you want to get off your chest now that we’re in the mood?” Mammon asks, and Lucifer laughs wetly.

“No, I think that was all of it. You?”

“Nah, you know me. Always good, always issue-free.”

Lucifer lets the lie, grossly blatant as it is, pass. They’ve had enough sharing for one day.

“Do you want to come back in the house now?” Mammon asks, nodding towards the door. “They’re probably all missing us dreadfully.” That sounds like a lie, given that Lucifer can still hear them laughing and talking like Mammon had ever left, but the thought still counts.

“I’m going to stay out here for a little while longer,” Lucifer replies after a moment.

“Do you want me to stay out here with you?”

Lucifer looks up, into Mammon’s warm gaze. “If you’d like, you can. I could really use another drink and I think I have another cup on my dresser.”

Jehoon sending his support to Greg Hsu @ Marry My Dead Body meet & greet

"Kwang-han ssi, I sincerely welcome you coming to Korea once again. It's been already 2 weeks since we matched our breaths at the Baeksang Arts Awards. Through the articles I saw you complimenting me too generously – I was shy to accept it. That day, on the contrary, thanks to Kwang-han ssi I think I could finish the awards comfortably. If there's a chance, I truly hope we can match our breaths in a project one day. I'll support Marry My Dead Body a lot. I hope you spend you time in Korea with fans happily and that Marry My Dead Body becomes a big hit in Korea, too. Love you, Kwang-han ssi~"
