#I'm probably going to cry over this show for the next 100 years

[light-on-shinwoo]

I just finished watching 'Light on me' (I know I'm a bit late to the party 😅) and oH MY GOD I have NEVER felt so much emotion while watching a show

I literally squealed at the final two episodes, especially when Taekyung held Shinwoo's hand and their kiss at the end... Perhaps I screamed.

I literally loved all of the characters and I'm really glad that they gave Lee Sohee a redemption arc, because in the beginning I would literally groan whenever she came on screen... and I'm sorry but I need a friend like Namgoong in my life!! He's so funny but also so genuine and only wants what's best for his friends 🥺

Shinwoo was ultimately my favourite character, I rooted for him from the start. I can relate to him a lot, and when I watched him, I could see myself. Though, I liked Daon too! So, ultimately, I wouldn't have minded who Taekyung ended up with... But like I said, I'm glad it was Shinwoo!!

Anyway, I think I've rambled on enough about how much I loved the show and the characters so I'll end the post here before it ends up being a novel 😅

If anyone reads this and has watched the show and needs friends please message me because I am in desperate need of friends who have watched this show and who watch bl drama's and can relate to what I'm saying!

hi i love your writing

could you do something with reid loving that reader is pregnant. fluff or smut or both

A/N Hello! Thanks for the request! Dad!Spencer is the cutest thing on the planet so this is some unapologetic fluff. And now I have baby fever.

Warnings: mentions of pregnancy, idiots in love. Loosely based on Haley and Hotch's conversation in 1x1. Very fluffy and probably very cheesy and sentimental too... Sorry, you give me girl dad Spencer and suddenly there isn't an impure thought in my head, I just want to lovingly stare at him like I'm the dead wife in an action movie montage.

My requests are open, check out my masterlist for more 🌸

“Okay, what about Amelia?”

“No, Amelia Dyer, Victorian serial killer. She killed multiple infants over a thirty-year period.”

“Okay, okay, how about, Myra?”

“Myra Hindley, she and her partner Ian Brady abducted and killed five children and teens in the early sixties.”

“God, not that then. There can’t be a psychopathic murderer called Belle, right?”

“You’re making this too easy for me, y’know. Belle Gunness, Hell’s Belle, she’s one of the most prolific female serial killers of all time, even 100 years after her supposed death. It’s fascinating, you know, people think that she actually faked her death - when the doctor who performed the postmortem testified, he noted that the cadaver was about five inches shorter and about fifty pounds lighter than Gunness supposedly was….” You raise a single eyebrow at your wonderful husband, and he immediately shuts up.

“I’m rambling aren’t I?” He smiled down at you as you sat curled up as much as you could in your favorite spot on the couch, the cosiest part of your shared apartment. You smiled back up at him as he leaned down for a kiss and you gladly craned your neck up in response, meeting his lips for a sweet moment.

“Hotch was right you know,” you joked when the two of you parted. “All of the best baby names have been taken by serial killers.”

“Yeah, you’d think with the ratio of female to male serial killers, a girl would be easier to name.” He leans down to kiss you again before falling into a crouch next to you, resting his head on your shoulder and placing his hand on your stomach.

“How big did you say our little girl is now?”

“Y/N, you asked me that half an hour ago. I know pregnancy messes with your brain a bit, but if you’re that bad we’re going to have to get you back to Dr Patel and see if you’re doing okay.” He was joking of course, but you showed him your little pout anyway, knowing that he loved seeing the silly expression on your face.

“Humor me, Doctor.” He strokes your stomach and moves away, but not too far away, taking up right next to you on the couch, and pulling your legs over his lap.

“At five months, she’s roughly 10 inches long with a weight of about 0.5-1 pound. But that ‘How Big is My Baby’ book would say that she’s roughly one banana in length.” You giggled up at him and he grabbed your hand and just held it, content to have you in his arms in any way, big or small.

“I can’t believe it’s been five months already,” you giggle as he presses another kiss to your hand.

“I get it. It doesn’t feel quite real yet to me, either. I thought for so long that fatherhood just wasn’t in my future, but you’re the gift that keeps on giving I guess. I don't know what I did to deserve you.” Even if the words weren’t so sweet, with all of the hormones, you would’ve started crying at anything. Or at least that’s what you’re going to tell him when he sees the small tears threatening to drop into enormous loving sobs.

“Spencer Reid, I am not a gift. I am simply the woman with the correct combination of sense and foolish luck that got to marry you.” He’d done this before, and you were used to his small habit of self-deprecating talk, but after a year of marriage and three years of dating before that, you’d managed to work him down to the occasional comment.

“Don’t try to argue about this, I’m definitely the one benefitting the most from the situation right now,” he joked with you, and you could see the genuine adoration shining from behind his eyes. It was a little spark that not many got to see, a glimpse of true happiness in someone usually so reserved.

“Spencer, you’ve given me foot rubs everyday this week, you’ve read more pregnancy and parenting books than every OBGYN and midwife in the area combined, and you’ve somehow attended more of my clinical check-ups than me, and I’m the one whose pregnant.”

“And you’re growing our child inside of you, which is itself more impressive than anything I could ever do with a book and some modern acts of chivalry.”

“Yeah, tell your boss that. I think the only thing keeping Emily from pulling her hair out over your constant absences is that she thinks she’s competing for the title of godmother. She thinks Penelope and JJ are trying to corrupt me with parenting advice and all those baby clothes Pen keeps bringing over.”

“She’s going to be crushed when she remembers we’re not religious, right?”

“Devastated,” the two of you shared a laugh on the couch, and it quickly devolved into a giggle fit after Spencer leaned over and tickled your side. You jolted away from his touch, but he was on you again, attacking your sides with small caresses, and you were gasping for breath between laughs.

“Spence stop- ahh!” Your squeals stopped as you cried out in shock. It was small but you felt something tap against your stomach. Spencer stopped immediately upon seeing your expression change, and a serious look settled on him as he assessed you for any damage.

“What’s wrong? Did I hurt you? Are you in pain anywhere, is the baby okay?” He shot out the questions rapidly, one after the other, barely leaving space to catch his own breath from the laughter of earlier.

It happened again and you put a hand to your stomach, finally realising what’s going on.

“I think I just felt her kick. Spencer, I think I just felt the baby kick.” You couldn’t help the wide grin that spread across your face, as much as you couldn’t help the tear that dropped from your eye as your hand rested against your belly again, scared to move for fear that the baby wouldn’t communicate with you again.

“What? Now? Can I- Can I try and feel it, too?” His hands hesitated at first but when you enthusiastically nodded and used your other hand to put him close to yours, you could feel his eagerness to feel the small kicks of your daughter as well.

Almost as if she was waiting for him, as soon as his hand was in the right position, your little girl kicked again, almost as if screaming “I’m here mommy and daddy,” for the two of you to hear.

“I think she’s trying to tell us not to have fun without her,” Reid whispered in your ear, kissing your tear streaked cheek, and using his free hand to rub them away from the other side of your face.

“I am so thankful everyday for this gift you have given me. And for the record, the gift isn’t the baby. The gift is the overwhelming happiness you bring to my life, and the beauty you make me see in this world. The fact that you’re going to be the mother of my child gives me the confidence to get up and go to work every morning because I know that there is joy and there is kindness and there are beautiful people in this world, and you are one, and she will be, too.”

His attempts to dry your tears are now completely vanquished as you let your emotions run wild, but you almost laugh when you realise that his eyes are just as glassy as yours, and you both sit there, overwhelmed by the pure, unadulterated joy that a small kick from a child who has yet to be given a name has bought you.

[ghostscrown]

Let me introduce you to... a typical Ninjago season :

Lloyd gets kidnapped at least once

Cole adopts some traumatized kids / creatures he found in a forgotten, lonely place

Jay becomes the leader of a cult or something

Zane "dies" for the 182737492th time

Nya kicks something (or someone)

Kai runs straight into the danger powered with raw confidence and survives only by pure luck

New outfits for everyone

The animation had another glow up

Jay and Cole are paired for a mission but they have the worst influence on each other's dumbness and mess up so bad you wonder why they're still allowed to work together

Kai tries to show off but miserably fails

Lloyd thinks he's Steven Universe and tries to redeem a villain

Jay spends 99% of his screentime uncontrollably yelling

Wu reveals crazy family lore he was hiding since forever

Kai gets rejected by Skylor

Cole wants cake. Now.

Lloyd gets more daddy issues than he already had (you didn't know it was even possible)

Star Wars reference

Wth is Garmadon doing this time ?

Nya is constantly on the verge of committing murder

Kai bullies Jay

Pixal somehow manages to stay calm

Lloyd is still in his angsty teenage era except he's now a grown adult

Zane is silly, the worst things possible happen to him, then he's silly again

There's another plot hole but the lore is so crazy already no one is gonna care

Shout out to Ninjago City citizen still living here knowing their lives are in constant danger every single second they stay in this place

Nya and Jay keeps being the only healthy stable romance in the whole show

Dareth unexpectedly ends up being useful

Lloyd do the thing with his eyes when it's getting serious (you instantly start screaming)

Kai says "fiyah"

"Yep so I saw [a main character] falling of a rock so they're definitely dead." "But maybe they..." - "NOPE. THEY'RE DEAD" - "aww ok" (they are, in fact, alive)

The team yells "ninja, go !" at least once

Characters are listening to music. It's The Weekend Whip by The Fold.

Why does someone has to stay behind and why is it Zane.

"You know I'm very old I'm gonna die soon" has said Wu every single day of the past 100 years of his life

Nya builds crazy vehicles again

This is a found family trope and they want you to know it

You spotted a pride flag in the background of a 0.5 seconds action scene and you already know the homophobic fans are going to lose their minds over it again

Snakes. Snakes everywhere.

A villain has the most brutal death on screen and you wonder how th this got approved for a kid show, until the show itself makes a joke about it

"Gasp ! Are we... Gonna lose our powers ???" (no they won't)

Jay's parents are in danger

Crazy plot twist happens and you suddenly realize it's been foreshadowed every single season in the previous 10 seasons but you never paid attention to it until now

Something that happened in a previous season gets referenced and you nostalgia cry about it for a whole episode

"Omg, was that the last and final season of Ninjago ???" (no it wasn't, nothing can end this show, we'll all die way before it does, now get ready for the next arc because it's probably gonna last ten more years)

#ah yes the ninjago tropes #and I'm here for it every time #my favorite show fr #ninjago #lego ninjago

The dissapearence of Nelldae Knight

Chapter 2; The discussion

H-How!?

He pulled the front hair of his mullet back

The young knight had nothing but despair in his voice, his army was gone, wiped out, he lost the very battle he swore to win and destroy the life of the man who ruined his own,

Nightmare had defeated him and taken away lives of many others who didn't deserve it not just the people in young Meta's army

Relax young creature, The man beside him put his slim claws on the young heros shoulder

You are young, he is almost as old as time like me, you have been in existence for 17 years after all, it takes patience this battle will not be your last

Hopefully i will be there to help you fight through!

As long as they dont find me first, the man whispered under his breath

Well- How the hell do I know i can trust you! The young hero's spanish accent thickened, getting more upset by each passing moment

How old even are you?

I am around 31499999 years old i believe

The said his old age in an innocent tone, he looked like he was in his later twenties, The young meta had so many emotions running in his head right now, confusion was just thrown into the mix

And to answer your first question, just give me a test, a challenge to show you that I can be trusted by your standards of course! Anything you have in mind I could probably do to show that I can be trusted~

This man spoke like he ate a damn theasarus-

Take off the hood. The hero spoke in a very passive agressive voice, he was eager to see under the hood of the rando next to him

Wh-what?

The young hero hand spoken so soon, Meta ahook off the clawed fingers off his shoulder

Take the damn hood off old man! It wasnt like Meta to be like this, he never insulted people in such a way unless he was very pissed

He was getting very impatient that was for sure

B-but I-

Do it.

I am not going to wait until I'm as old as you for you to do it.

I thought something more-

Do you want my trust creep?

Take

Off

The

Hood

And tell me your name too while your at it

Meta wanted to know everything about this guy as he could

I-im oh-

The slim creature beside him was utteraly dissapointed, he hadnt even taken off the hood yet and there already seemed to be tears forming in his eyes

Meta had to refuse the urge to call him pathetic, He was 17 that thing beside him was 1499999 years old. Meta had cried over more important things than this

O- ok

Obidiently, He brang his hood down

to reveal a VERY hideous haircut

Tears formed in both pairs of his eyes, his hair was not only cut to an ugly short, it looks likes it had not been taken care off properly in more than half of the mans lifetime

One of his antennas was regrowing the lighted up bulb the other had, it looked like it was forcefully ripped off, yikes!

Meta felt sudden apreciation for his messy mullet wave over him

He may have successfully fought the urge to call him pathetic but he instantly called out:

Oh great mother of Nova!

He felt instant regret as the slim man put his hands over his face crying softly

As Meta tried to comfort the man he shooed him off of himself

Its okay i am completely aware of how awful i look at this very moment

He sniffed back his tears

But you know my hair was always like this it was nice and fluffy though it was just a bit longer than what I have right now I would react to the same way and scatter if I to saw someone with hair like mine.

What seemes like a soft smile was elegantly put on his face despite the tears

Meta regretted for acting like such a brat moments before

Im Meta, what is your name if I may ask? Meta tried being polite to him to make up for how incopetent he acted a few moments ago

Its okay! That was the second part of the deal I was supposed to fullfill!

My name is- he paused for a moment -I don't have a name... I'm nearly 100% sure that all I was called we're insults

Meta wanted to lighten up the mood, somehow

How about... uhm.. uhh-

NK!

goddamit! really? the first two letters that came to your mind as a name?

Oh how delighteful ^^~ Nk coed innocently he lightly clapped his hands together giving Meta an innocent smile. He had a name now that wasnt disrespectful and degrading! How wonderful

Oh ok then!

Here! Nk put his hands out to meta

I promise to be by your side from here now on and oath if you will~

I dont own you but we can be friends

Hurrah my first friend!

Meta put his hands in Nk's who softly caressed his with his thumbs

They were going to be okay!

Hard

Things have been hard with baby boy. Three weeks ago he had a really bad week at school (3K) - after doing well all year. Amongst other really unregulated behaviors he scratched his friend - twice. One time at pickup and one time at daycare. The kids Dad called and screamed at me. All I could do was apologize over and over while he yelled at me. Baby boy plays rough but is not normally aggressive. Over a year ago (at 2.5) he bit his friend one time. We made a big deal out of it and he never did it again.

We pulled him out of school short term to figure out a plan. Also not sending him to daycare anymore. The boys parent said he could not go if baby boy was there. Daycare said they would not kick him out (we are close with them after many years) but we didn't want the boy to suffer when he was the one who got hurt. We will get after school care for the rest of the year. At this point its only two more months.

No idea why he was out of whack. Maybe daylight savings time but he was still sleeping a lot??? My Mom flew in to help - Thank God. He's an angel for her and she's a baby/kid whisperer. I had a really hard time with it - random crying. Spiraling with future worries in a really unhelpful way. I'm not generally much of a crier but I also went out of whack. I suspect there was some residual bad/helpless feelings left over from foster care mixed in there.

He seemed to understand scratching his friend was bad. He asked if he could write an I'm sorry card for his friend. His friend was over it within minutes. The Dad clearly was not.

Despite fighting all year for services this kicked my butt into further gear. Managed to get the SEIT (masters degree special ed teacher) that we've been pushing for all year. Ten hours a week one on one while in class. She seems good. I'm guessing she's a recent graduate - but that's fine. Right now we've only been sending him for the two hours she is with him. Next week we will add in another two hours. Then a full day. He's very happy at home with my Mom. She's staying for a month.

Keeping him home has all been our choice. His teacher never wanted him out of class. I just didn't want to risk him doing it again when we didn't know why he was acting like that. He's normally wild but not like this. At the time it felt like keeping him home was keeping him safe. Since going back he's been behaving fine at school. So fingers cross it was just a bad week. This all happened to coincide with his second development pediatrician appointment where he got a official ADHD diagnosis. Also coincided with the response to our special ed due process hearing. We won. We can now pay an enhanced rate to find providers and got over 100 hours of back pay hours. With his ADHD diagnosis came a recommendation for parent training. Got lucky and found someone who seems solid. Starting Monday night. Its virtual and after the kids are in bed. I'm excited for that. It gives me hope there is a "right" way to help him. Of course, its not covered by insurance even though its the recommended treatment for kids under six. Put him in a social skills class- also not covered by insurance (=blah). I don't think it will help but figure he may enjoy it. I believe (and research shows) kids this young can't learn how to act when they are upset at a time they are not upset. But also believe it can't hurt. At this point we are trying all of the things. He finally has OT, PT and speech - all outside of school hours but that's okay. As I suspected the speech person said she has not noticed any problems. We will probably stop that soon enough. His dev ped said we can medicate. She says research shows it helps but also higher chance of side effects when it starts at a young age. I'm very pro medication but not interested in starting until he is old enough to properly verbalize how the they make him feel. If he always acted how he was during his bad week that would be a different story. Right now meds aren't worth the risk.

Thinking we will put him in a integrated class next year. I was hesitant but this experience made me change my mind. We are touring two schools in May. One said they'd probably have a summer spot. They will bus him - which I heard is terrible and unreliable but will see how it goes.

I love him so much. I want a crystal ball that tells me how to help him. Anyone have one of those?

[ladyluscinia]

I do have to appreciate (?) how hard the haters work to ensure their definition of bigotry is Izzy-escape proof. I mean, yeah, if you are saying that it's functionally impossible for him to not be some flavor of bigoted because technically the very concept of having socially informed ideas about ways to be a man and men's behavior is intrinsically linked to homophobia and misogyny and racism, and therefore expressing any negative opinion on how a male character is behaving counts as such...? Alright then? Telling a man not to sob over a breakup (even with a hypothetical woman!) is homophobia AND misogyny if you consider the social reason that would draw attention as a behavior to criticize and our society's collective idea of masculinity. You've defeated me with your social studies thesis logic on Every Insult Under The Sun Can Be Traced To Bigotry 🤷‍♀️

But in practice I still just don't think it's worthwhile to say the antagonist with the literal raison d'etre of not being 100% supportive and approving of the protagonists in order to cause conflict is being irredeemable or violently bigoted by *checks notes* insulting men in the story about men. Just like I don't think Stede or Edward or the rest of the crew are being irredeemable bigots by also having socially informed ideas about masculinity???

Like, looking at it that way Stede is a clear misogynist (and more, but we'll stick with just the misogyny bit). I don't think he even realizes he is one, but the whole Mary sequence and just being a man in the 1700s makes it pretty obvious. He might do less misogyny in the future on account of just not interacting with women (suspect behavior tbh), but fundamentally he has not remotely addressed or deconstructed the misogynistic ideas that shape his entire perspective. Honestly, he's probably not going to at this point. They drew attention to his worst behaviors under the framing of just kinda being a self-centered ass, made him realize he fucked up and apologize to the woman he hurt over the course of about 15 minutes, and then sent them both toward happier endings.

Is this story saying that misogyny is actually fine and misogynists are admirable and likable people? Or that misogyny is just a surface level form of bigotry that doesn't really affect your attitude toward women once you stop being an ass? Or, maybe, is the story just not about misogyny???

And if it's not about misogyny despite being literally incapable of avoiding characters expressing misogyny (since in reality that's not so cleanly excised), then why on earth does it have to be about homophobia? Is it just because the leads are gay men?

Like, I'm sorry, but media for 5-year-olds has long been able to tell stories about antagonists learning that it's okay for boys to cry and be emotionally vulnerable and it's mean to make fun of them without insanely complex layers of deconstructing homophobia or intensive requirements to overcome internalized biases. I bet OFMD can teach that lesson without explicit, targeted homophobia. No one is denying in serious meta that Izzy has been an ass? Or that character development to be less of an ass is the logical next step?

I'm not disputing their assertion that Izzy is homophobic because I think the writing team accomplished the impossible and erased homophobia from the background hum of existence for this one TV show. I'm disputing it because the essential second half of said assertation is that this is a meaningfully included and emphasized part of his characterization that will typically justify his future karmic punishment for bigotry and/or require much greater redemptive effort of him to get any sort of neutral-to-happy ending on the table. That's why they care about it. The effect on the story!

If the story isn't about homophobia, then no, the antagonist doesn't usually have "homophobic" as a character trait I need to account for.

And twisting that fairly straightforward narrative interpretation into some kinda gotcha about "So you deny insulting gay men with gendered insults has shades of homophobia?!?" is - to borrow a phrase Lucius used against Stede - "kind of a bitchy question."

#our flag means death #been tossing around ways to word this for a long time #mainly because i'm fully aware this kind of slippery technicality is pretty much universally a bad faith gotcha for a hated character #but like. yeah reality is a mess of interconnected biases and bigotries that all build off one another to justify A excluding B #doesn't mean every single story developed in this intrinsically flawed society has to say something about all of it #does stede know women are people? does anyone want the next two seasons to tackle stede learning women are people? #tbh i would much rather just say he gets it via the 'don't be a self-centered ass' metaphor #ofmd meta #izzy hands ofmd #stede bonnet ofmd #sorry stede but your track record with women? not great 😔 #homophobia #ladyluscinia #no cut because nowhere made sense

BG3 Headcannons: Halsin's Daughter PT3 (Love Interests)

Hey hi, I'm back again for my nightly post! I dunno man, there's just something so therapeutic about writing out my ideas and stories and sharing them ❤️

✨️ Original post and related posts can be found here

So please note; all love interests are adults. I know some of these characters in the game are kids right now - this is like 10 years (ish. add more years if you like) after the events of BG3.

ALSO: I dont have a name for her yet - so imma just call her HD for right now. I would appreciate any suggestions for names.

Mol:

Mol and Halsin's daughter would be the most chaotic power couple ever.

Double trouble and extremely mischeivious

Would probably accidently set the city on fire

Mol would be like "Oops. Well shit, thats my que to go" while running and dragging HD along

HD would probably be hysterically crying and exclaiming that she didn't think knocking over one small candle would set the whole city ablaze

10/10 would do a horribly planned bank heist; HD is definitely one to steal from the rich/evil and give to the poor. Also - she just can't help that she does like nice things.

Again: she's sweet but is definitely an asshole if you're deserving of it; don't be a dick and don't get on her bad side

They would be a couple that would like witty banter and insults - it's VERY flirtatious tho

Arabella:

The sweet book nerd couple

They would love to cuddle up next to the fireplace together and read

Arrabella would definitely be the more responsible one in the relationship

Likes to kiss each other's noses

Love language is giving each other small thoughtful gifts

They leave each other little love notes in their bags

Mol + Arabella (the polycule):

The balanced power team

They keep each other in check and out of trouble

Arabella is 100% the mom of the group; always prepared, always shooting down HD and Mol's dumb implusive plans

Mol is the captain of the dumb plans; HD follows

HD is the glue that binds them together

Cuddle piles <3

Every night is the best girl's night; it's like having a sleep over all the time

HD shows them love via making the best meals for them; always making sure that they have snacks in their bags

Example of convos:

A: DID YOU SET THE BANK ON FIRE?!

M: I mean. . .it's a little crispy but they'll be okay.

A: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN

M: Well. I thought throwing down grease would slow down the guards and klutz over there knocked over a candle

HD: It was an accident I swear! 😭

M: Dude you slipped in the grease and then grabbed onto the candle stand to try to save yourself; fell anways and kept slipping multiple times

Dammon: (Okay this is probably my favorite one. )

Met him when she went to Last Light Inn; he was there for his monthly visit to sell his wares

She was looking for a quiet place to hide and clean some of her cuts; not wanting to make her father worry about her losing control in wild shape. She's crying and freaking out a little bit - she just brutally tore apart a deer. It didn't need to die that way. She has no idea what came over her

Dammon had just come back from grabbing food in the Inn - when he could hear cryng in one of the animal stalls.

He finds here there, surprised. He nose and her cheeks are red from crying, tears are still welling up in her doe eyes. He notices she's covered in blood AND scars from her life in the underdark.

He grabs a warm damp rag and gently wipes her tears and the blood on her face. She begs him not to tell Halsin . He doesn't.

He grabs a blanket and wraps it around her. He sits next to her and tells her he's there to listen if she wants to talk

Normally she wouldn't speak of her problems to strangers, but something about Dammon's gentle tone and facial expression makes her spill her heart

From then on out; she makes sure to bring him his meals to his little forge; he works so hard that sometimes he forgets to eat

They get really close and their first kiss was very tender and sweet.

She playfully grabs one of his tools; he tells her to give it back but she giggles and runs behind his work table. He chases her around the table and catches her by the waist and places her on the table. (In my head, she's actually really small and petite, but her wildshapes are monsterous)

He hesitates a little bit but everything about her is just so damn cute. Not to mention she is absolutely beautiful. Her skin is perfect, a pale blue that makes her cheeks look bright and rosy when she blushes. She's batting her long eyelashes and looking at him with her doe eyes - the color of caramel. Her silver hair is half up but small pieces are perfectly framing her face.

Dammon swears she could be a drow princess. She's perfection.

He goes for it; even though he may get a threat or two from Halsin

How does Halsin feel about her and her possible love interests:

I aint gonna lie the man is probably super over protective of her

She may be an adult (an old lady even) in human years; but is essentially still considered a young and naive child to elves.

He more than likely is this protective because he feels like he's failed her; He wasn't there for most of her life and because of that she was subjected to the worst tortues and abuse

His blood boils when he thinks about her mother selling HD's body for political gain and favors

If they were ever out and about and someone was eyeing her or getting a little too flirtatious, they would recieve a death glare from him

He refuses to let anyone ever take advantage of her again

Eurovision 2023: Final Thoughts

I've eaten dinner and had a good cry over the results. Time to post my final thoughts for the season.

I will put this out there: I don't hate Sweden's song so I'm not as disappointed with their win as most of the fandom is. However, Finland was my winner tonight and I'm devastated he didn't get the trophy tonight. Sweden has hosted so many times already and I was really hoping this would have been Finland's time to shine. ;_;

Germany was ROBBED. They performed so well and the song was great. It was so refreshing to see them go out of their comfort zone. 100% I'm expecting them to go back to sending radio-friendly songs.

A lot of people are shocked that Spain did so poorly. I wasn't. As much as she's a great vocalist and the staging was beautiful, it's one of those songs that you either like it or you don't. I didn't think the causal viewers would vibe with this much.

I've seen a lot of people shocked over France as well but I really don't think the live performance was there tonight. It's a shame too because it was one of my favourite songs this year before the live shows.

Estonia and Belgium are in the top 10. I am a happy camper.

Austria and Slovenia deserved better. I was really hoping they'd get more points but Austria going first likely didn't help them. No idea why Slovenia didn't do as well as predicted though. I thought it was a great song. Sweden and Finland probably gobbled up all the points?

Poland should not have been that high. The bejba memes were too powerful.

It looks like Latvia almost qualified from the first semi with a 3 point difference against Serbia. So close, yet so far. ;_; I hope the broadcaster sees this and it will keep them from pulling out of the contest. Malta being last though is an absolute crime.

Thank you to everyone who stuck around through all of my live-blogging this year! I'm sad the season is over now but I'm looking forward to doing this all over again next year. <3

😏 If you'd indulge a girl and one of her many rarepairs for a bit, could I request something with Sparrow and Nicky?

Thank you for the ask and happy to indulge!! Did some doodles based on my ramblings below ;)

Sparrow and Nicky Rarepair ideas -----

Adult Sparrow is stress crying after a fight with family member (could be any)

Anyways, long time ago (kid/teen) Sparrow said to Nicky that it was so cool how he could just portal into the oak-garcia household (because doors are silly obstacles his parents use to keep him and his bro away from fun weaponry) and Nicky has never forgotten that, often shows up at random on weekends to spook and/or hang out into adulthood

SO, Nicky portals into the kitchen and this time he's spooked that Mr. lovewolf is already in the kitchen, bunch of papers strewn about the room

He's usually in the home studio/office (drawing) or the livingroom (watching stuff/napping) or out in the garden….

This time though all the half-demon hears is sobbing, friend barely even looks his way--mumbling something about: "I'm sorry I'm like this, I don't want to be a-a crybaby about every little thing and ugh this is stupid. And I forget you were coming…"

Nicky wants to comfort him somehow. In my mind, Nicky is more a physical comfort type of person--less likely to whisper comforting words and more likely to sit down with Sparrow and have the lovewolf do a breathing exercise to the beat he's carefully tapping on the messy kitchen table (he's a drummer, guitarist, and probably plays other instruments also because he refuses to only pick one)

After Sparrow's calmed down and rubbing at his eyes with a cardigan sleeve, he laughs.

Nicky looks curious in response, not appalled/unnerved (sometimes Sparrow does laugh/giggle out of anxiety and it tends to get judging looks but not with Nicky…never)

So Sparrow tiredly smiles and explains that "Hehe, I finally scared the one and only badass Nicky Close-Foster and I didn't use a spider spell to do it"

Nicky elbows him softly, then does it a little bit harder when certain little horrific beings are mentioned. Sparrow laughs more and smiles real big this time and Nicky finds himself smiling back.

Maybe Sparrow shares what he was upset about or Nicky talks about his adventures in hell, faerun, or at a gig? Either way, they end up huddled together on the worn down couch with an assortment of wildly colored quilts and tea, maybe a scented candle or two and spend the rest of the time creating a playlist together and trading song recommendations

Nicky has many places to go and a certain few he thinks of as home. Being in the oak-garcia house chilling out with sparrow is for sure one of them. ----- Next idea is for younger years! ---- OTHER IDEA

Teen sparrow really likes wearing the wolf ear headbands and those keychain raccoon/other animal tails but its against dress code at the school so he keeps getting scolded for it!

On the other hand, Jodie and Morgan are pretty strict about when and where Nicky can have his horns/wings/tail out…school is 100% a no, Glenn is pretty lax…like they've gone to amusement parks both full demon appearance (assumed to be fancy costumes) but…when school is brought up, frustratingly also no even for troublemaker rockstar hell dads apparently...

The two kids are pretty bummed out about not being to be how they want to be…and (hear me out) start some sort of after school costume club so Nicky can have his cool demon stuff out and proud and Sparrow can be the lovewolf!

Also, I like the thought of them going to conventions and concerts together? Could be fun. They aren't dressed as any particular character in the doodle (vague costumes) Or sneaking out to mini adventure in the woods or on faerun (or hell), after a few incidents, they'll sometimes have adult supervision, mainly Glenn, Daryll, Henry, or Walter Erin may begrudgingly watch over them if they happen to cross paths too I feel like Jodie probably knows they are sneaking around most of the time? but only really says anything if they get are about to get into danger

A play-by-play of the live action Avatar

Episode 1

SPOILERS (obviously)

Daaannngg CGI is good

Who is this guy?

Ohhhh it's a flashback...totally knew that (he in fact did not know that)

KYOSHIIIIIII

I kinda love that we get to see all the air nomads 🥺

...aang can fly? ...that's a huge thing that he can't do for a reason hold up...maybe he's just gliding a lot?

Aang is so cute 🥺 just a little baby

I love that we get to see aang learning he's the avatar and seeing him with gyatso

"Keep pretending I'm your friend" "I am your friend" don't mind me crying 😭😭

APPA YOU'VE ARRIVED

"Monks don't even trust me to feed the baby bison" that's so aang love that for him

This kid is such a good actor for saying this monologue to Appa who is probably some giant blue thing in reality

So far the worst CGI is Appa (which I think is kinda funny)

Is it gonna show the genocide!? AHHHH NO THAT'S TOO PAINFUL

"brothers, sisters were under attack!" If that doesn't show you how peaceful they are 😭

Omg I hope gyatso doesn't believe aang abandoned them in their time of need

THESE AIRBENDERS ARE SUCH BADASSES

...this is brutal... Netflix definitely changed the "no deaths on screen" policy. I'm just watching people get burned to a crisp

I know what happened and I'm crying seeing Gyatso protect all the kids 😢

(This is really good so far... I'm enjoying it)

AVATAR AANG LETS GOOOOO

100 years later

*said in SpongeBob voice*

"Sulk later paddle now" there's the sokka sass

(Also I like how they haven't stated that it's been 100 years cuz I feel like they're gonna make it a big reveal)

RIP sexist sokka causing katara to release aang 😔😔 we'll miss your character arc

Zuko looks so tiny next to the other fire benders hehehe

KATARA WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?! (jk I know)

I love how dramatic aang looked just for him to slide down the hill

"Mysterious little bald person" hahhahah yeesss

YOU LEFT APPPPAAAAA

Irohhhh I love yoouuuu (all he did was show up)

APPA thank goodness

Sokka stepping behind katara was perfect

Not gran gran saying the theme 🤭 I can't even take it seriously

I feel like gran gran isn't dramatic enough. Give me that SHOCK factor.

Don't make fun of zuko BITCH 😡

"Are you okay?" ...no katara...he's not okay

"Guess he had to grow up fast" yes 🥺 he did...my baby

Yes zukoooo get that fire

"A nice cup of jasmine tea" 😌

"You're wrong" ...he's not wrong baby but I understand...it'll take a while

"I'm a warrior I should be able to do more for our people" I love her 🥺

Das not good (referring to the fire nation)

Dang gran gran knows everything

I kinda like angry sokka 👀 I feel like he's gonna have a good character arc

"I am sokka" > "hi there, zuko here" pipeline

Aang baby whatchu doing watching sokka get beat up

...spoke too soon lol

THE ROCKS LETS GOOOO CHILD WARRIORS sokka looks like a proud dad 🥺

"I think you're the bravest person I've ever met" 😭 sokkas face when he said that

"Let's go save that weird kid" heck yeah sokka!!!

"Myself included" love the honesty iroh hahhah

"Is that what you believe?" No answer is an answer iroh 👀

I love how none of them have ever dealt with an airbender before so they have no idea how to deal with him

"There's no way you're getting me on that- AHHHHH" is the most sokka thing yet I laughed out loud

HIS GLIDER LET'S GOOOO (I know that's in the og but i never know what they're gonna change so I'm gonna continue getting excited over little things)

Zuko is so concerned 😟 his face literally says 'that's my only hope getting away'

"Hey kid!" YES SOKKA LOVE YOU

KATARA YES YOU DID THAT!! HECK YEAH MOTHER FUCKER (...pardon my language)

Aang not going into the avatar state is kinda cool cuz you got to see katara be a badass

"So where do we go?" My brain immediately went "do you want to go penguin sledding with me!?"

...well this is way sadder than penguin sledding

On another note aangs tattoo is so cool...i.love the patterns in it

Gyatso 😭😭😭 NOOOOO

This must be so hard for him cuz in aangs mind he just saw everyone YESTERDAY

AVATAR STATE AANG

Don't mind me I'm just crying

That was very emotional...I was not prepared even though I should've been

I'm glad sokka still had some comic relief in him...I was really worried

Aang keeping gyatsos necklace (??) 😭

Showing zuko during aangs speech was good 👀

I love how dramatic it is but i hope they still put in some of the silliness from the original show

Overall I enjoyed it though!! I was really nervous so it went a lot better than I anticipated I'm not gonna lie

The times I may of had an undiagnosed concussion-

I was an active kid and also fucking stupid when it came to staying aware of my surrounds (still am). I never played sports but I was always staying active somehow. I grew up in the 2000's but I can't really remember much before 2010/2011. My memory, as I have aged well into my 20's, has became super spotty when it comes everyday shit but childhood trauma doesn't leave that easy. I blame the following events for a lot of the disfunction my brain is suffering from now. If I could afford a brain scan I would in a heart beat.

The first accident I can recall has to be one of the most embarrassing moments I've ever experienced. Still to this day I think if someone mentioned it to me my face would turn red. When I was younger I had a friend who lived a few houses down. We will call her Jane. Jane an I would ride bikes around the development we grew up in. I was leaving Jane's house one day. Jane's dad was sitting outside watching us and as I was leaving the only thought in my head was "I'm going to ride this bike as fast as possible to impress my friend". Why, I have no clue. So I take off down a hill. I hear someone yell something that might have been my name, so I wip my head around only to then smash head first into the back of a neighbors truck. Thankfully I had my head turned so my nose didn't break but I'm 50/50 if I blacked out before I started crying. What do you think happened next? Because it sure as hell wasn't love and support I'll tell ya. The dad and Jane were dying laughing in my face. Then laughter turned to "you dented the truck". Mind you I'm still in the road bleeding from the scrapes on my knees and may have a concussion. As Jane's dad freaked out about me denting a truck with my skull and Jane's mom gave me an ice pack, I decided I needed to leave and walked my bike home. My mom made me apologize to the neighbor only to find out that I caused nothing but a scuff to his truck. Which he seemed a little mad rightfully. My mom also tried to ground me (I'm kind of sure). My memory gets a little spotty after that. All an all extremely traumatic and you can assume that emotional neglect is a large theme. I come from a "rub some dirt in it" family and have found myself guilty of not understanding someone's pain as well.

Thankfully I had a helmet on for these next two. My family and I would go skiing together. Usually with my uncle and his 3 girls. The first one is when I fell trying to get on a "T bar" for the first time ever. It wasn't really explained to me how to, but the peer pressure kind of took over. So, I fall face first and let go of the bar. The guy running the "T bar" (probably a 16 year old kid) decided not to stop it. Giving me about 10 seconds to wipe the shame off of falling and get out of the way. If you have ever tried getting up after falling like that as a beginner, its not an easy task. As soon as I'm trying to lift my head up the next bar comes flying at my face. Smacking me right in the forehead. I kind of don't remember anything other then the bar coming at me, getting hit, then being in the truck on the way home. I can however hear my uncle laughing his ass off at me telling me I didn't hold on tight enough then being pissed I ruined the day. My dad was ahead of us, he tried showing me how to get on by example. Not a good enough example I guess. The next trip was the same crew, this time my uncle decided it was time I ski the bigger trails and stop going down the same one everytime. Which I get but also I wasn't the best skier. So, I with the constant bullying and teasing from my family, finally do. I couldn't slow down, hit some ice, decided okay I'm bombing this bitch, then hit a tree face on so fucking hard. I definitely blacked out for that one because I don't remember a thing after. I remember seeing the tree and knowing there was nothing I could do then pain.

This one was probably the worst because I 100% had a concussion and still have a dent in my skull from it. I was play basketball outside my house with, let call them Adam and Ali, till we got bored and started throwing the ball into the tree. Why, who knows. Well the ball gets stuck, duh, so we start throwing sticks at it. My dumb ass stands under were the ball is and throws a rock. No it wasn't the rock that hit me but a branch about as big round as a small tortilla. Right on the left side of the top of my head. It was about a 10-11 foot drop. I dropped to the ground and I can remember being immediately dizzy. I didn't start crying till I saw blood. So I rushed into the house telling my mom what happened and looking into the mirror to see a gash. I start freaking out that I'm going to need stitches (I probably didn't but in my defense it was about 2 inches long and a centimeter wide) while my loving mother said "get a band aid and go back outside your fine". Then ignored me and my worry the rest of the night. It didn't stop bleeding for hours. I was dizzy and nauseous, I had the absolute worst migraine that made my vision blurry. It was not a fun time. So I decided it was probably best not to sleep right away. Love my little dent though. It reminds me how uncaring my mother is. I also almost had to call 911 before because I could breath and she didn't want to leave the bar yet. Bust thats a different story and I was a teen by then.

The last one is funny. Pretty much my sister owned a this open bowed boat and while I was riding in the front hit about a 9 foot tall wave that almost sent me overboard. But I held on and when the boat landed, it landed hard. I smashed my head off the boat. Didn't cry for that one. I think I had a good amount of adrenaline in me though. I hit my head riding in my dads boat enough times that its just par for the course.

All these took place between the ages of 9-13. Not really the best time to aquire acute brain damage. Some quick ones I didn't feel like needed an explanation from the same time period are: throwing myself over the handlebars of a forewheeler, smashing my bike into a mailbox, hitting my head off a brach while riding on the back of a wheeler, hitting my head off the tree my swing was on multiple times, breaking my arm falling from the monkey bars and hitting my head off the side of the pool.

Yeah I don't know how I'm alive still either. I was a tough kid and crying was very rare until it came to extreme pain and someone screaming in my face.

If anyone does read this I would just like to note that I'm a sarcastic blunt person and write how I think. I know my writing abilities need work but it feels good just to share trauma to the void. Maybe even work through a few things while I'm at it.

And there's a few other things happening here I'm going to try to fight some suck at it but really the flight is going on very harshly and solidly and we mentioned that the number was down to probably 10%? Some people say 50 some say five you say 20 it goes on and on okay and I'm going to say there isn't a percentage but we know what it is and it's not that great to lose a lot of people you love me and the cups and spirits close and then a few days later a big spirit for about 2 days and it's at it's at 20% now and it averages about 10% of whatever remains of warlock and it's a strange number and it's covers there and it's an organized today huge huge bunch each time did you need it and they need all those guys and it's trying to work and people see it too that they have the plans have things to do and ways to do it the test was seen globally practically we tried to hide it and close the ship but the sale thing didn't work that great so they saw these huge sales on Pearl and then disappear and it was just magnificent I've never seen anything that like that in my life we all want to be right there and say you almost get hit but it was really like 500 yards away you are so close it's all about go by in your mouth is open. Sorry the only on the radio Wendy Wendy I see it. She was crying and said I'm coming there Peter so she came over to where you were and it was wonderful. You said this you know what I mean by Wendy and she said it probably wouldn't have happened without me is Wendy and his smile and said now I know you mean. It's going on now people are seeing it there's a lot of work being done and a lot of it is by us and them and they're making progress on some kind of backup plan and it's a huge and difficult plan that's come together and the numbers are kind of tough to say but here and Port Charlotte you're down to 100 sherrifs. I need to go to police and retained the five still but there are some kind of probation and I get arrested a lot I stopped a lot pulled out a lot it's ridiculous but they have to. And the other numbers were met so there's people out who are upset. Is he is working and it kind of leave him alone a little now but they're higher ups and some of them have despicable plans but they're going to get beaten up. The rest of the show was kind of similar as to what's been happening but the numbers are starting to get up there now on the evacuation I'm putting another one in alert out and there's quite a few of them left right now there's probably 7% of what there was 3 weeks ago they're on the island and it's a lot it's hard to say correctly it's not really going down so it is going up and I was comparing the number to something else it was only about a week and a half ago so oh no very percentage of population the entire population not including clones they are 3% off the island it's very low and it's down from 5% this morning I keep saying that everyday he says it's not possible to keep having everyday so there is something different about it it's not cloning it's just that the numbers are not really announceable and the cities are filling up an emptying and filling up an emptying and the percentages are dropping they're pretty soon will be very very low let's give an idea that they used to be about 50% of the population and that was about 15 years ago and they're dropping 5% a year and that is 75% of 50% so 3/4 is that drop down leaves you with if you have four quarters and it's around 13 or 14% of the total and we said 15% and that was last week they dropped five and then they dropped probably five more huge numbers have been going and they know it so probably around 4:00 or 5% and that's probably more accurate in an accurately of looking at it and all things encountered for except for the clones and they're going to end up wanting a hand a little and foreigners and nobody believes it on the next side but that's going to happen.

Have a lot more to talk about we've been requiring businesses and getting final signatures but we're going to publish and he'll come back

Play With My Hair?

hi darlings!! here is my second fic for my 100 followers celebration bingo!! this one is for august walker and I'm sorry it took so long to get out but here it is!!

i actually ended up getting two of the same requests for this one lol! (ig we are all on the same page here) -xo poppet :)

august walker x female!anxious!reader, rated g!

warnings: anxiety and implications that someone is after the reader and august

word count: 1.1k

tag list: @thereisa8ella @myloveforhenrycavill @lharrietg @little-brattyangel

August paced around the tiny safe house again and again, each pass causing your stomach to churn a little more. He wouldn't tell you why you were both there. He hadn't said much of anything actually. Aside from storming into your shared room this morning and saying in a clipped tone that you needed to pack essentials as quickly as possible because a plane would be there in fifteen minutes to take you to a more secure location, you had no idea what was going on.

You knew that you probably didn't have clearance to know what was happening, or that August was just hiding it for your own safety, but you would have appreciated knowing what was happening.

Clearly whatever it was was distressing August greatly. You just wanted him to sit down and take a breath, this much stress could not be good for him. There had been a frown etched permanently in his usually smooth brow since this morning when he'd told you to start packing.

"August," you called.

He showed no sign of hearing you, too trapped in his own head. His hands were clasped behind his back, ever the smart looking gentlemen, even when he was stressed.

"Auggie," you called a little more loudly this time. But not even the nickname that he usually griped about to no end made him break his concentration.

You felt tears begin to cling to your Y/E/C eyes. What was going on? Why were the two of you there? Was someone looking for you? Were you going to die?

"August," you choked out around a half sob.

Hearing the emotion in your voice was finally what snapped him out of his concentration and his head whipped up to look at yours, the hard lines in his face softening when he saw how scared you looked.

"What is it, sweetness?" he asked, his voice low and concerned. You loved that you were the only person he dropped his hard exterior for. It made you feel special.

"What's happening?" you asked in a small voice.

"You know I can't tell you that," he sighed, placing one of his strong hands on your arm. You noticed for the first time that his tie was hanging loosely around his neck and the top button of his shirt was undone. That was completely unlike him. Usually he was immaculately put together, even in the most tense of situations. Your stomach did another flip.

"But-" your voice cracked and suddenly there were tears running down your face. August immediately squished next to you on the chair you were sitting on, his large body half hanging off of it awkwardly as he hugged you to his chest, placing his chin on top of your head as you sobbed into his shoulder.

"It's okay," he murmured. "The both of us are gonna be just fine, sweetness. It's only for a few days and then we can go home."

You nodded into his thick shoulder, clutching at his dress shirt. You were aware that you were wrinkling it and that he was going to probably be annoyed about that later, but that didn't matter right now.

"We're not- not gonna die?" you hiccuped against him.

"No, sweetness," he said calmly, his tone almost resigned. "And you know I'll protect you."

He pulled away from you, but still kept his hand on your arm. You knew that August wasn't the best at showing comfort or emotions, but he did try. And usually what he did offer was enough, but not today. Not when you were still terrified out of your mind and he had gone back to pacing across the terribly worn carpet.

Needing to do something with your hands, you walked over to your small suitcase and opened it, taking out everything that you had packed and refolding and reorganizing it as you tried desperately not to cry again. August was holding it together. You could too.

Although admittedly, he was trained for these situations. You were not.

You made your way through your own suitcase and went over to the small bed in the corner. You pulled off the bedding and put it back on, still looking for a way to release your nervous energy. As you put the blankets back on the bed you noticed that it was really a small bed, smaller than you had initially thought. You and August would definitely be cuddling tonight. Although given the circumstances you thought that that might be a good thing.

You heard August walk up behind you just as you finished. You heard him fidget for a moment before he spoke.

"Are you alright, Y/N?"

"Yeah," you lied, still not looking at him. "Why?"

"You only organize like this when you get nervous," he said, placing a strong hand on your arm.

You were silent as you fought down your tears again. August didn't need to be worrying about you when he was thinking about both of your safety. You didn't even know what threat you two were up against.

"What do you need?" He asked softly.

"I know you're a hard ass, but could you play with my hair?" the words tumbled out of your mouth unprompted and you slapped your hand over your mouth reflexively. You couldn't believe that you had actually just said that!

August laughed though. A wonderful, musical sound that you didn't hear often enough and one that felt wildly out of place in the tiny, outdated safe house. It calmed your nerves immediately. "Of course I can, sweetness," he said softly, his hand already coming up to tangle in the strands and he guided you over to the bed.

He pulled you against him, so that your head was huddled against his chest instead of resting on the lumpy mattress. His long fingers worked through your hair tentatively, still shy even after all the years you'd been together.

He kept running his hand through your hair in an almost repetitive motion, careful not to cause too many knots as the tips of his fingernails scratched at your scalp.

You had just begun to fully calm down, your breathing slowing to match his when he spoke up.

"Am I doing it right?" he asked sheepishly. You weren't looking at his face but you could imagine the cute way that his mustache was stretching as he smiled.

"Yeah, Auggie. You are," you giggled at his uncertainty. God, he was so cute sometimes.

"Don't laugh at me," he grumbled. "I've never done this before!"

"Well good thing we're working on that now, huh Auggie?" you giggled again.

"And don't call me that!" he groaned. "I'm too much of a hard ass for a nickname like that."

"A hard ass that plays with his girlfriend's hair," you mused. Your banter had made you forget the situation at hand. It was just you and August.

"I might be a hard ass," he laughed. "But I'm never too much of a hard ass to play with your hair."

What is Fate?

[Part 5/5] WOH concert and after

WOH Concert (3-4 May 2021)

- The fact that they even have a grand scale wedding ceremony drama concert

- GJ did not attend ZZH's first solo concert, but both of them have their own concert together for the first time

- Chinese have a traditional tradition of calculating auspicious dates (metaphysics). It can be calculated commonly for when to move in to a new house, bury a deceased, open a business, hold a wedding etc. 3 - 4 May were auspicious dates for Wedding and marriage registration.

- The concert was held at a stadium in Su Zhou, but the entire city was blatantly supporting everything and anything about WenZhou like it's New Year's Eve. Eg. Building, helicopter banners, bus advertising, drone show, lantern display, subway endorsement, city's official account using WOH quotes applying to safety regulations, curated photo booths, life sized figurine of WenZhou (YouKu kept it as prideful display at their office entrance after the concert), crowds of fan support and cheers etc.

Drone show snippet:

- Both of them were given the center of attention for the entire 2 days of WOH concert. It was WenZhou/JunZhe concert in disguise as WOH concert.

= This gave them both the opportunity to show what they feel for each other openly (whether as WenZhou themselves or as JunZhe)

- To have a stage to be what they are* and have fun, while being accepted and greatly supported by a sea of Mountain people (山人), no matter how one sees it, it's an extremely touching form of support for them

*Disclaimer: obviously they weren't 100% themselves, mindful of the fact that this stage was monitored by important media bodies (not exactly sure what kind, but somewhat government-ish regulators I presume), but their gaze and body language is just as natural as what they are.

= The fact that the country in general is not open to this kind of relationship, yet they were in a place where most of the people were supportive.

- Yes, there were some important bodies (or eyes) during the 2 days concert. Which was why all the actors and actresses were warned. For whatever reason they chose to continue in their own way, it's daring consensus of support. And for whatever reason the regulators didn't do anything (there weren't any big news at all from them), is also a miracle.

- They had the opportunity to sing a duet on stage, live. For the audience, GJ's singing skills started from November 2020, ZZH likes GJ's singing, and 5 months later, they have a duet on stage.

- Official acknowledgement of cpfans

= First in history where the recognition was officially verbally mentioned in-person. You can say this fate belong to the fans.

- ZZH had the opportunity to vow a promise to GJ witnessed by X million of people in the stadium and those watching livestream, that he will always be there for GJ. He did not only vow as a companion to GJ, in ZZH terms, he actually vowed "I will love you forever" [ZZH on 'love' saga]

- The in-ear mic had the voices of the backstage crew's coordination. ZZH took it off early, but GJ was still wearing them during the exchange. That itself is a stressor as the backstage coordinator must have warned extremely sternly and loudly and GJ was shakingly nervous. When ZZH was giving this vow (which in the concert BTS release, we see him say "Don't I have a segment to speak to WKX?" Note, it's WKX, not GJ), the backstage crew was cursing and swearing when ZZH went with "I have things to say to Jun Jun." (as WenZhou, they have a disguise/a shield, with direct GJ, it's just...danger danger red light) Try imagine being the backstage crew and going all mad and crazy over what ZZH said that moment.

= ZZH's daring courage to say things like these was probably built up from his sportsmanship, hot-blooded passion from his past. It's beyond my peasant mortal's comprehension.

After

- After the concert was over, solo fans expect the main leads to break up even as co-workers or say, being even in the same frame. This expectation is extremely strong in the industry for years. The same goes for JunZhe despite this time many are cpfans but they do know this prevalent expectation. So imagine crying over the vow and the next moment, just hours after the concert, JunZhe is happily sticking to each other singing in the same frame as if they did nothing big a few hours ago. They sang a phrase together with this lyrics: 30% arranged by fate/god, 70% arranged by hard work. A love for perseverance will lead to success/winning.

= Debunking expectations, breaking many years of industry's common consensus successfully. They invented after after-sales CP service.

- Stage, endorsements, film scripts, major public events, variety shows, top brands etc. Poured in, and although it's all solo events, we see traces of the other half.

- Aside from that, we now see social media exchanges (almost always for the other half), brand endorsement captions (almost always about the other half), official brands partnering with each other because of them (despite being legit competitors) etc.

- The word 'support' or at least 'love seeing them together', is the general reason CPfans are fans of them. But to both GJ and ZZH, it really goes beyond the word itself. Acknowledging is just the beginning. ZZH does take LLD to heart and GJ is very interactive with LLDs in his own quirky way.

*From the [Star X Moon Saga], to the developed feelings because of this drama and actually accepting their feelings, to the fact that the pitiful budgeted amount for WOH was not well received at all before it was broadcasted but boomed records in the end, to the open shipping support by the production crew/casts/general media/fans/brands/cities, to the climbing successes and mountainous opportunities opened for GJ and ZZH overnight, everything was unprecedented and unexpected, but they all dramatically happened to the two of them in a span of one year.

Bonus

A fan went to a temple to check out JunZhe's fate. You can only check for one person and she checked for GJ. She passed her result to a Master and he immediately tell her to give up because that person is taken and turned away. The fan quickly corrected and say she's actually checking for someone else, the master turned back and checked her read again and said, everything is aligned to their favour, it's blessed by the Gods. (If I can find the full article again, will add on more but that's the gist, surfing in China made me love Google's search engine algorithm so much more).

A few other fans who 抽签 (Chinese praying tradition - simply put: draw a stick of varying luck). They all got the bestest of luck for JunZhe. (Reading the readings, I'm just...in awe...I...)

= Borrowing the meaning of another famous novel title, to me, this is a true "Heaven's official blessing" pair.
