post-finale stuff

Possible spoilers. Beware

Last night, I happened to check the scriptwriter's Weibo and saw that she had liked this fan's post. It's the only non-work related Weibo post that she had liked, so of course, I went to read it.

The fact that this is the only fan post she's given her approval to must mean that it is on point and she agrees with the characterisation. I thought it's pretty good, so I've gone ahead to translate it here. I own 0 rights to this. I just thought it's a good perspective that may help others like me who struggled with the ending.

I think I've mostly made my peace with it now, and to sum it up:

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all that they are.

A-Xu never once blamed Lao Wen for how things turned out because he understood that. And he’s clearly a better person than I am (lol).

Let me be clear about my stand - the real victim of how the drama unfolded in the last six episodes is WKX. When we feel our hearts ache for ZZS, it's because the show let down WKX (the character). If your heart is only hurting for WKX during episodes 33-34, you should try to ship WKX with someone else, ok? If you think the last six episodes were great and that WKX was very romantic (and only romantic), then I honestly don't know what to say.

I ship wenzhou. That means I like both Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu. I want them to love each other, be good to each other and live happily ever after. And I want them not to be OOC.

The rest behind the cut. Spoilers for the whole drama.

-------

First, the source. Here is a link to that Weibo post, by 爱��槽的栗小姐. I will delete this if requested by the OP - because this is really in a grey area imo. But I think the intention of a public post is for it to be shared? (especially something like this, which argues a point)

Secondly, the poster does try to be fair in her post, but as the problem here is WKX's ruined characterisation, ZZS's character is analysed primarily concerning this issue only. There's quite a bit left to ZZS's character and backstory that isn't relevant. I believe that's why the post doesn't elaborate on it, or so I hope.

-------

Ever since WKX faked his death, I received three to four waves of fellow sister fans' mournful wails: "Lao Wen actually faked his death; does he have a heart?" "They were supposed to be of the same heart and treat each other with honesty. How did they regress?" "What happened to their innate soulmate-ness?" "Why does A-Xu always say to face things together, yet Lao Wen always keeps his plans from him?" "A-Xu loves Lao Wen, yet Lao Wen only loves himself"…….

Wait. What have you guys misunderstood about the meaning of soulmates?

Soulmates are about values, but a person's behaviour… that's methodology FFS!

(Do they no longer teach this in political affairs class in high school anymore?)

Wenzhou, these soulmates, are incomparably compatible and mesh well in terms of values. According to the scriptwriter, the entire jianghu wants and tries to get the pieces of Glazed Armour, save the two of them. Not only do they not care for the peerless martial arts, immense power, nor the massive wealth that the Glazed Armour represents, they don't even care for the power they hold in their hands –Ghost Valley and the Window of Heaven. Both of them willing to give it up without a second thought.

Before they met each other, they were so tired of (ZZS) and so angry at (WKX) this earthly world that they didn't even want to live on anymore.

After they met each other, they gradually began to feel the warmth in this world again. How nice it would be if they could live in seclusion, hand in hand and just bask in the sun.

In this world, where everyone else is fighting for power or wealth, they are true soulmates. To intelligent people like them, whether or not they're honest about their identities or secrets is merely a matter of formality. They had already determined their attraction to the other's soul early on and have never doubted it.

There may be some here who would criticise loudly at this point, "Then can't you be more considerate for your soulmate (the actual phrased used is "spiritual companion")? A-Xu has said many times, let's face everything together, I'll bet that you will be honest with me. If you really love him, then why can't you care for his feelings?"

----- You guys, you've never been married.

If two souls meeting can naturally resolve all behavioural conflicts and disagreements, then the theory of "breaking in" * would not exist.

Let us take a look at what kind of a person WKX and ZZS each are.

Wen Kexing, he's a lone wolf.

After his parents' death and his entering the Ghost Valley, his smooth sailing life suddenly fell off a cliff. Ever since then, the only person he could rely on was himself. That deep-seated hatred is carved into his bones, yet he can't speak of it to anyone else. He isn't the same type of person as the rest of the ghosts in the Ghost Valley; he isn't the same type of person as A-Xiang, who he raised. If we talk about the world and everyone who lives in it, he doesn't have any fetters or feels any (positive) emotions.

His supposed craziness is a form of indifference. He's indifferent to others' lives, nor his own, because he just doesn't care. (T/N: I think he does care for his own life, but only for revenge, after that, he's indifferent. Indifferent isn't suicidal. I don't know why some fans seem to be confusing the two. Although he didn't plan to, if he somehow manages to stay alive after getting his revenge, WKX will continue to live on, even if it's only to keep A-Xiang happy because he is indifferent.)

Growing up like this, being solitary became his style. He's used to doing everything alone, used to making his own decisions, used to digesting all his emotions himself.

Every time he argues with A-Xu, he digests his emotions himself. The next day, he faces A-Xu with a smile again.

This is how he loves, to take it upon himself to face danger, difficulty and pain alone. It's how he had supported A-Xiang all these years in the Ghost Valley and what he's used to.

While Zhou Zishu, he's a lead horse (of a herd). **

Since a very young age, he's taught to take responsibility. He's used to bearing everything on his shoulders, be it the responsibility of his family or the responsibility for the Four Seasons Manor, even the responsibility for saving commoners from disasters.

Unlike the lone wolf, the lead horse is ultimately a social animal.

Regardless of his identity as the Manor Lord of the Four Seasons Manor or the Leader of the Window of Heaven, he's always the one to lead the herd and rarely fights alone. So, A-Xu not only has leadership ability but more than that, he also knows how to be tolerant and accepting of the differences of his team members. You can see the various ways he managed to influence Lao Wen along the road; he's firm when he needs to be and soft the other times. It's absolutely textbook in managing your lover workplace management.

Zhou Zishu believes in communication whenever there's a problem, that they should be open and honest. So, teamwork is what he's used to.

Does it mean that when a horse and lone wolf fall in love, that there won't be a breaking in period?

Obviously not.

I guess this is where some may say again, "isn't this part of a character's arc/development? The two of them quarrel time and time again. Did WKX not grow at all from it?"

Of course, after meeting each other, they both grew and saved each other.

When he first left Window of Heaven, A-Xu was lonely with regret. Unlike the lone wolf who's used to doing everything alone, a lead horse without the last of his herd has no way to bear the bone-deep loneliness and merciless self-recrimination.

ZZS wandered around this world aimlessly until Lao Wen started pestering him, until he picked up Zhang Chengling, right up until he felt he hadn't singlehandedly destroyed the Four Seasons Manor. This lead horse finally regained a goal in life. He gained a partner and a lover. Lao Wen sticks to him, Chengling relies on him, and the abandoned Four Seasons Manor became like-new in his hands. He finally reconciles with himself.

When he first came out of the valley, Lao Wen carried a rage strong enough to burn the world down. But when he met A-Xu, he also met the beauty of the world.

When the Four Sages of Anji died, WKX understood how he caused innocent suffering. When Gao Chong walked to his death knowingly, he understood that although some may desire power, they could still be righteous and upstanding people. When he learned of everything Long Que sacrificed to protect his family***, he finally relaxed his guard.

There were so many types of good people and things that he saw along this journey that he hadn't seen in the Ghost Valley. When A-Xu told him he was a good person as they basked in the sun, he genuinely wanted to return to the human (vs ghost) realm and be a good man.

Along their journey, A-Xu made up for the morals and values that WKX lost in the Ghost Valley and showed him a new world outlook. He appeased Lao Wen's anger, tempered his extremism. The process wasn't easy, but not that difficult either, because, in the end, Lao Wen is kind at heart.

But in the end, being a lone wolf is how he survived and succeeded in a place like the Ghost Valley. When A-Xu was so heavily injured and needed a lot of rest (for Wu Xi) to save his life, Lao Wen suddenly recalled his enemies and how such an excellent opportunity to take revenge just fell into his lap. Everything was in place, and all he needed to do was hide it from A-Xu; he could leave for a short while and have it settled quickly. Upon returning, he could then live happily ever after with his wife. To a crazy lone wolf, why would he not take a gamble?

What he couldn't predict was the news would've been leaked (to A-Xu), and he didn't know that by doing so, he would've forever lost his love.

Both of them were using their own methods to love the other person. Zhou Zishu is more forgiving and accepting because being forgiving is in his blood. While what WKX learned in his years in the Ghost Valley is -- love needs to be protected, like how he has A-Xiang, who he considers a sister, call himself master (to protect her).

Only when faced with painful consequences can a person's deep-rooted habits and approach to things change. So I don't think faking his death ruined the characterisation of Wen Kexing, but I regret that the last two episodes did not have a scene to show us Lao Wen's heartbreak when he learns the truth.

Until I know what it feels like to have lost you, I will only love you in my own way.

T/N:

*I can't think of the correct phrase for this as I don't read all that much about relationships >< please let me know if you know of it. Here, I'm referring to the process of wearing something new (like shoes) that will hurt at the start until it becomes soft and comfortable.

** I did some side-reading, and omg, A-Xu is TOTALLY the lead mare. Although he's not the stallion and weak/dying for most of the show, he's the head of their little family, and he expects "to be obeyed", aka, I'm not going to learn how to cook. Call me for dinner. Kthxbye.

From Rutgers' website: A herd of wild horses consists of one or two stallions, a group of mares, and their foals. The leader of the herd is usually an older mare (the "alpha mare"), even though one stallion owns the herd. She maintains her dominant role even though she may be physically weaker than the others. The older mare has had more experiences, more close encounters, and survived more threats than any other horse in the herd. The requirement of the lead horse is not strength or size; if this were so, then humans could never dominate a horse. Dominance is established not only through aggression but also through attitudes that let the other horses know she expects to be obeyed.

***I think this is important here because WKX wasn't crying for his loss. I think a big part of him was realising not everyone in the world was callous and turned their backs on his parents, that he could've gone his whole life without ever discovering what sacrifices some people have made. Good people suffer quietly and in silence. It's a big moment to realise he was wrong about many things that he had let hatred blind himself to the world. Because although he was sad about the Four Sages and somewhat shocked by Gao Chong's death, he hadn't truly faced up to his actions until now.

------

To add:

I'm not sure how many of you read my "opinion" posts, but I've been struggling to find a way to accept the last six episodes of Word of Honor. I first tried looking at open forum postings, comments, and Tumblr posts. None of it worked because it was just arguing and emotions and no one made points good enough for me to accept things.

So I gave up and went back to reading Chinese sites. I found many posts discussing the plot. Some I liked, some I didn't, but none satisfied my need for a reasonable explanation. I felt they had biases (both ways), or else it lacked logic. After a time, I realised that I should be looking for WKX-stans (or pro-WKX fans) because they would be more motivated to explain his side, but also because well-written posts by wenzhou-fans & ZZS-stans made me super sad.

I'm sorry, but those who keep trying to explain why the ending was good completely missed that episodes 32-34 are the real problem to those who don't like it and only focused on 36. I can understand if people don't think those episodes are a problem, but no one could provide an articulate and sensible reason. There are just too few well-reasoned plot-focused posts in English (sorry). I've seen too many examples of WKX-fans arguing with people who are upset about the ending, backed by nothing more than "look how much WKX suffers, woe is him. And how romantic is this????" *dies*

Lastly, if you spot anything inaccurate, let me know & I will correct it.

#word of honor #word of honor meta #wenzhou #opinion #i think this counts as meta #if you think the drama did WKX justice #and that he can do no wrong #in the last 6 episodes #....#......#srsly #you can't claim to ship wenzhou #& think the last 6 eps are perfect

Insight

SuperM/WayV AU: 8th member

YinYin x SuperM/WayV/NCT

SuperM learns a little bit more about YinYin.

A/N:ALSO FYI check out my patreon (patreon.com/kllamallama for exclusive posts!)

Requests are Open…and your feedback is still super important to me.

Masterlist and other Follow Me links in bio!

“Nicely done, guys. Let’s run it again in a few minutes.” The choreographer walked off, letting the members of SuperM take a minute to rest.

YinYin limped over to the bench, practically collapsing into her seat. Her back was aching, but it wasn’t unbearable yet. She could force herself through a few more hours of practice before it would be too much. This entire experience was very new to her. She was normally the one leading practices, pushing on when everyone else had long since collapsed. But now, she was the one who was being checked on, who might, at any moment, go down and not get back up.

The company wasn’t forcing her to participate in this comeback. She’d felt awful sitting out promotions with WayV, and hadn’t even considered sitting out on SuperM. She knew the boys were keeping a closer eye on her than normal, but they trusted her to know when to stop.

She reached for her water bottle, shrugging out of her sweater. Sumi had given it to her, along with the matching sweatpants, stating that she’d accidentally ordered them in too small a size. But YinYin wasn’t exactly sure how you accidentally order a seven-hundred-dollar track suit without double checking the size. Either way, she did really like them, as they weren’t something that she would ever have bought for herself. The green trackpants were so light that they were almost non-existent, but were perfect for long dance practices.

“Feeling okay, Yin?” Taeyong asked her, taking the seat to her right.

She nodded. “Yeah. I mean….a bit hot and sweaty, but my back feel fine.”

“You sure you shouldn’t be sitting out for another week or so?” Mark asked. “I mean….your back was really messed up.”

“Thanks, Mark.” She rolled her eyes. “I’m fine. It’s healing really well. I’ve rested a lot so it is much better.”

“You’ve been taking it easy?” Taemin asked.

“You’ve been living with Sumi, right?” Kai asked. “She mentioned that. Obviously she’s taken you shopping.”

YinYin glanced down at her outfit with a blush. “Oh, she just gave me this. I’m not really one for shopping.”

“Come to think of it, you didn’t really do any shopping when we were in the States last time.” Baekyun realized.

“I…have everything I need.”

“And that might be the first time I’ve seen you wear a brand.” Taemin pointed out. Other than shoots and stuff.”

“YinYin’s low-key.” Ten offered helpfully.

“She just wears whatever.” Lucas added.

“Yeah,” YinYin nodded. “I don’t spend money on stuff in general, really.”

“Why not,” Kai asked. “I mean, you make a decent amount, right?”

YinYin shrugged. “I guess….when I started, I was sending it all home to my parents. And now, old habits I guess. I never bought a new item of clothing before I moved to Korea, so it feels kind of weird to be spending money on things like that. You know….things that I don’t need.”

Taemin tilted his head. “Do you parents work?”

“Very hard.” YinYin confirmed. “But…I mean….” She considered it for a second. Only Lucas and Ten knew just how bad her financial situation had been, but it wasn’t something that she should be ashamed about. She didn’t see the harm in telling her other group mates.

“I lived in a one room apartment with my parents until I moved to Korea. My gymnastics was all sponsored through a national program and through my school. I danced on the side to raise some money, but I never really had any extra to buy things that weren’t necessities.”

“So what, you auditioned and decided to move?” Taemin leaned forward, clearly shocked by her story.

YinYin shook her head. “I was scouted. Someone had posted a video of my dance to Weibo and a scout saw it. They offered to pay my trainee fees, because we would have never been able to afford it, and we figured it was too good of an opportunity to miss.”

“And that was the last time you saw your parents, right?” Taeyong asked.

She nodded. “Yeah, I keep in touch but…you know, things are kind of crazy.”

“That’s insane, Yinnie.” Baekyun gasped. “You didn’t even….the company could have flown them out when you were hurt. Why didn’t they?”

“They offered.” YinYin smiled. “But they had work and I didn’t want to make a big deal out of things.”

“More like you wanted to move in with your new super rich Korean mom.” Lucas snorted.

“Yah,” YinYin reached out to slap his arm. “Sumi can’t replace my mom. She’s just like my really cool older sister.”

“She’s super hot too.” Lucas sighed.

“Wong Yukhei!” YinYin exclaimed. “Ten isn’t that gross about everything.”

“I mean….she is hot.”

“You guys are grossing me out.” Kai shook his head.

“And by the way.” YinYin crossed her arms. “Why do you never say that I’m hot?”

“Because you’re YinYin.” Lucas said matter-of-factly.

“So? I still want to be hot. Or is it the money that makes Sumi your type?”

Lucas looked like he wanted to nod, but Taeyong shook his head. “You’re totally hot. Ignore him.”

“Yeah, you’re definitely the best looking girl in NCT.” Mark winked.

“And in SuperM.” Taemin laughed.

YinYin rolled her eyes. “Thanks guys. I really appreciate the confidence boost.”

“That’s what we’re here for.” Ten smiled at her. “Now, are you good to continue practice?”

“I’m good.” She stood. “I can do this all day.”

“But you won’t, because you’re injured and you’re going to be responsible.” Taeyong cautioned.

YinYin snorted. “Sure. Believe that if you want.”

thirst follow au for chuyao? (i dunno if you still take prompt requests for chuyao but i just discovered the prompt list you posted and if you do still take prompts i'd love read your version for chuyao of this!!)

new celebrity lu yao + ceo of the company lu yao is signed under qiao chusheng

---

The first thing that Lu Yao does once he’s alone these days is open his Weibo app and scroll to a particular account to look for updates. It doesn’t matter if he’s just started break after his filming sequence, or when he gets home after a day of long activities, before he does anything, Lu Yao is on his phone and checking through @/乔楚生mmc.

“Yao Yao, are you checking through Qiao-zong’s Weibo again?” his manager sighs as she enters the waiting room that has been allocated to Lu Yao for the duration of this period drama shoot.

“... Jie,” Lu Yao grins suddenly, showing her his phone, “Look at him at the ELLE Fashion event, he’s not wearing an inside shirt! It’s just a blazer over, I saw his fans yelling about this earlier but I didn’t have time to check, he just-”

Man Man-jie, his manager, tries not to be exasperated with him, but it has honestly been two months since Lu Yao discovered Qiao Chusheng, the CEO of Qing Long Ying Shi, the largest entertainment and media company in the country, after he visited one of Lu Yao’s shoots.

Not for Lu Yao of course, but for the world-renowned director that Lu Yao and every other crew and cast member in this production is working with - suffice to say, Lu Yao laid eyes on their company’s CEO for the first time since he signed on a year ago, and he hasn’t been able to keep away from him since.

It makes him wonder why Qiao Chusheng did not become a star himself, but Man Man said that the man has always had a knack for business development, and the company has only grown stronger after Boss Bai, the man who founded it and who is also Qiao Chusheng’s adoptive father, relinquished the position to him.

“How did you not know Qiao Chusheng is the CEO of this company?! Your paychecks are getting signed by him!”

“Aiya.... Jie, it’s not like I come across him at all... And I thought our CEO was some old man...”

Lu Yao immediately followed Qiao-zong on all his social media accounts because the man is certified exceptional in looks and body. He won’t admit it, but the best thing he likes about Qiao Chusheng aside from his arms, his muscles, his chiseled jaw, those sharp eyes, that hot body, is definitely the man’s smile.

It’s too embarrassing to say though, so Lu Yao stalks him online instead, on his private account that no one knows about. And because it’s a private and almost empty account, Lu Yao dares to leave emoji responses and some comments from time to time.

Today, Lu Yao replied Qiao Chusheng’s post with five thumbs-ups and five fire emojis. On second thought, he adds:

“哥哥帅爆了! 哥哥看我一下~”*

Man Man looks over his shoulder to glance at the comment and rolls her eyes so hard that she almost pulls something in her neck.

“You know, one of these days, if anyone finds out, you’re dead,” she shakes her head. “When that time comes, you’re on your own. Don’t expect me to clean up on your behalf. Also, Qiao-zong is only a year older than you are, and you’re calling him gege?”

“Hey!” Lu Yao exclaims, indignant, “I have to present myself as one of his young girl fans right? If anyone ever finds out about my account, i can at least roll my eyes and ask if I would ever sound this disgusting, and then people will think twice.”

“Okay, if not that, then could you please change your Weibo name? You’re embarrassing me!”

Lu Yao frowns, confused. He thinks @/三土葱油饼 is a great handle for a social media account.

The best thing is, Qiao-zong has been oddly responsive to social media post comments recently, and he banters hilariously with fans when he has the time. Lu Yao hasn’t gotten that privilege yet, but Qiao-zong seems to be liking a lot of his fans’ posts as well, at least for those who post in the first hour of his new post, and those get likes.

Recently, it has also been Lu Yao’s personal mission to leave a comment and get a like by his Qiao-zong.

“Yao Yao, you’re so stupid, you know that? Not every single fangirl has the opportunity that you do. You literally have an excuse to go see him, you actually have access to him, his office floor? Company events? What game are you playing, stalking him on Weibo?”

Lu Yao tunes her out a little. It’s pretty fun to him, to be able to openly appreciate all these hot and amazing photos of Qiao-zong. Here, he can stare to his heart’s content, and he doesn’t have to hold back when he makes his comments. If he met Qiao Chusheng in person...

Well, of course he wants that too, but would he be more disappointed if Qiao Chusheng barely looks at him, or ignores him? Lu Yao isn’t a small artiste by any measure, and he did win the newcomer award two years ago, but there are so many experienced and legendary colleagues in his company too.

It is, after all, the country’s media and entertainment industry behemoth, and Lu Yao doesn’t have a complex - he knows what he’s worth right now, and it ain’t a whole damn lot.

When he comes out of the shower two hours later at home, he sees a notification on Weibo, and it says that @/乔楚生mmc has liked his comment!

His day made, Lu Yao flops back onto his bed and conks out for the next 24 hours.

===

Lu Yao can only thank his lucky stars because someone up there must really be looking out for him. If not, how can anyone explain Qiao Chusheng turning up at his shoot so frequently the week after?

Before this, Lu Yao had literally never seen the man even once aside from that very first meeting that began this whole thirst journey for him, and this week, Qiao-zong has visited every single day.

Of course, it’s not like he’s here for Lu Yao. According to some of his cast mates, Qiao Chusheng’s younger sister Bai Youning wrote the script for the last stage of their filming before the production wraps up, and asked her brother to stay on set to watch every scene being filmed.

The scriptwriter is usually on set for the parts she writes, but this particular segment of filming happened to clash with her honeymoon period with her new husband, but did that stop her from being involved? Not at all, and so busy Qiao Chusheng has to sit his ass down, note down what’s happening, and report back to his adopted sister at the end of each day.

Sadly, this segment will only take five days or less to complete, which means Lu Yao won’t be able to stare at Qiao-zong for much longer.

When will he shine brightly enough to catch Qiao-zong’s attention?

At the thought, Lu Yao slaps his own cheeks.

He only thinks of Qiao Chusheng as eye candy. He’s after a visual feast whenever he logs onto Weibo to catch the man’s updates. Qiao Chusheng is a pillar of strength for him mentally.

Lu Yao has no other untoward fantasy or goals when it comes to Qiao Chusheng.

None at all.

===

Somehow, Lu Yao ends up all drunk and boneless in Qiao-zong’s laps at the end of the week. As they expected, filming wrapped up officially earlier in the evening after Lu Yao filmed his very last scene, and since the CEO was present, there was no reason not to treat everyone on the production to a good meal.

Man Man temporarily left ten minutes ago to take on a call for another possible role for Lu Yao, and the room was cleared when Qiao Chusheng offered to book three huge karaoke rooms upstairs for the crew and cast to continue their party at after their dinner.

Lu Yao has had a bit too much to drink, and Man Man isn’t around to direct him elsewhere, so when the room has emptied, he is still seated, staring at his empty glass of wine.

Suddenly, he thinks of something, and immediately pats at his pockets for his phone.

“... Lu-xiansheng,” a voice sounds, “You’re not going to join them upstairs?”

“Mmm,” Lu Yao nods, trying to focus on his phone screen. “Going home.”

A nice-sounding chuckle echoes through the room then, “Can you get home like this?”

“I’m going on Weibo. Man-jie will send me home,” Lu Yao responds, almost sulking a little as he tries to find his favourite Weibo account.

There’s a bit of silence after that, and before Lu Yao can even scroll through today’s updates, a hand closes over the screen.

“You’re drunk, Lu Yao,” the same person says again. “You really shouldn’t be on Weibo. What if you post something by accident?”

Lu Yao pauses, and then he shakes his head, “I’m not posting anything.”

He turns and shows his ‘friend’ his phone screen, “See? It’s a private account, and... and... and I’m just... going to check on my favourite account.”

“Even then,” the man says again, exceedingly gentle and patient, “You should only look at Weibo when you’re sober.”

“No!” Lu Yao protests. “I have to check. I check this account everyday. See? See?”

There’s a long, long moment of silence as Lu Yao scrolls his way down the account, detailing which are his favourite photos. The man lets him go on, and because he’s cold, Lu Yao inches even closer to him.

The last thing he remembers is his new friend taking his phone from him.

===

It’s painfully bright when he wakes up, the light triggering a headache even before he opens his eyes. When he does, however, Lu Yao has to take a long, long moment to figure out just where the fuck he is.

He’s trying to massage the headache away with his fingers, seated up in bed but having zero energy to get out of it just yet, so when Qiao Chusheng walks through the door with a smile, Lu Yao just stares.

“You’re awake. Great, I got you some fried buns for breakfast, you okay with that? Man Man didn’t say you were on any sort of diet,” the man says casually, as if they are friends.

Lu Yao looks down at himself, and nearly jolts when he realizes he’s in nothing else but a bathrobe.

Before he can panic, Qiao Chusheng adds, “I thought you looked a little uncomfortable sleeping in your jeans and shirt yesterday.”

“I’m sorry,” Lu Yao rasps, trying to wrap his head around why Qiao Chusheng is here, why they’re in a hotel room, and why the fuck the man is even speaking to him in the first place-

He must have inconvenienced the man last night while he was drunk, and instead of throwing him to Man Man, Qiao Chusheng decided to take care of him instead. Maybe Qiao Chusheng could have left him on the streets or something, but he is after all an artist under his company, and if anything strange happened because Lu Yao was drunk, it would be bad for the reputation and image of the company if word got out.

Yes, that’s the only explanation for this.

“I’m sorry for the trouble, Qiao-zong,” Lu Yao says, inching his way out of bed.

“No trouble at all,” Qiao Chusheng replies. “Come and sit, have some breakfast before you go. I called Man Man, she should be here in a bit to pick you up.”

With that said, it isn’t good for Lu Yao to reject him and just run off no matter how much he wants to right now. He sits down opposite the man at the table, and then picks up the buns.

After he’s literally swallowed three whole buns, Qiao Chusheng comments idly, “I thought it was random when you chose your Weibo account handle, but it seems that you really like cong you bings?”

“Mnn,” Lu Yao nods, wolfing the buns down because he’s hungry as hell, and so he doesn’t’ really register the first part of the man’s sentence, not until he’s on the last bite of his bun.

And then he chokes.

“How did you-?!”

At that, Qiao Chusheng raises an eyebrow, “You showed me your phone yesterday, and introduced to me your favourite account.”

Lu Yao blanches, because he knows which account that is, and then Qiao Chusheng continues, amused, “You were telling me how nice his smile looks. How pretty his eyes are. How strong his arms probably are hidden under that suit. And that you guessed right, he actually does have six-pack-”

“Please stop,” Lu Yao croaks, mortified. “I...”

The man takes pity on him and stops as requested. Lu Yao is frozen in his seat, like a deer caught in headlights, wondering what he should say next.

Qiao Chusheng nods, “Would you like to have lunch with me later?”

“Are you firing me?”

“It’s just lunch,” he answers. “I’m technically your boss, so I understand if you’re uncomfortable with the idea but... we could do lunch, and see how it goes from there.”

And then Qiao Chusheng looks away a little, “And.. I may have been visiting the set not to supervise the interpretation of Youning’s script.”

Once again, it takes him a few solid seconds to connect the dots, and when it does, Lu Yao flushes completely red.

“... we could do lunch,” Lu Yao agrees finally. “But I have to go home and change first.”

When he looks up again, it’s that smile he sees.

===

Weeks later, Chusheng makes Lu Yao repeat every single message he’s left on his posts, all the embarrassing ones, refusing to move if he doesn’t. Lu Yao’s hands balls into fists in the sheets, and says no.

He left a lot of messages! How is he supposed to remember every single one of them?!

Chusheng makes a a convincing argument though, towering over him and not giving into Lu Yao’s requests to fuck him properly until Lu Yao says them. It ends with Lu Yao trying to concentrate enough to speak, word after word.

He’s going to unfollow his boyfriend on Weibo after this!

---

Notes:

1. Qiao Chusheng’s Weibo account name is @/乔楚生mmc = Qiao Chusheng MMC, and this is taken directly from Zhang Yunlong’s own Weibo handle, which is 张云龙mmc. MMC, as I recently found out from Hanyi, stands for mao mao chong = caterpillar/worm? HAHAHAHA

2. Lu Yao’s handle is @/三土葱油饼 = San Tu Cong You BIng, which is a combination of the name San Tu and his favourite fried buns HAHAHA that’s how QCS was inspired to buy fried buns for Lu Yao the morning after

3. The comment that Lu Yao left in Chinese above is: “哥哥帅爆了! 哥哥看我一下~” = Gege you’re handsome af, take a look at me please! Something like that, he was definitely kind of joking when he posted that, but you can imagine Lu Yao being a little troublemaker by posting those comments and once QCS realized it was him, it was payback time? Of course, QCS likes to hear his baobei Lu Yao say anything <3

Do you have any weilan drama hcs vs weilan novel hcs? Also what are your thoughts on the zhenhun japanese audio drama news?

as you already know i lowkey screamed about this ask yesterday hahahaha and i had to pause and take some time or else im gonna cry that im having zhenhun asks hahahaha (and i got your ficlet prompt!! imma write it soon hehe)

I’m gonna go with the easiest question first - my thoughts on the upcoming JP audio drama. Man, I was so skeptical when I saw that post on weibo and admittedly just scrolled past it. But then I saw some weilan personal accts I follow that shared it so I had to check JJWXC but couldn’t see it. And I had to bombard my friend to check it on their app despite her not being in the zhenhun fandom lmao (i owe her my first born’s hair lol) and the rest is history akdaskjf OKAY so I was honestly hoping maoerfm would take it and despite being very unlikely - i was also hoping zhu yilong and bai yu would still voice weilan given that they didn’t need VAs when they did the drama and also I love the two of them. I also really was hoping to hear the iconic lines as is from the novel (thank you xiao bai for recording yourself saying the confession scene on your own jfc long ge it’s just 2 words from you please keep up haha). BUT YOU KNOW WHAT - I’M TAKING WHAT I CAN GET FROM A NOVEL PUBLISHED WAY BACK 2012. I’m super excited for it! I hope they get really good VAs and idc if they’re new or unknown so long as they capture novel!weilan very well. And I was informed that JP audio dramas aren’t like CN ones where there’s an online platform we pay for but they’re more on physical copies they sell and well looks like I’m back to JP shipping world now haha

[NOTE: WILL BE NSFW-ISH]

DRAMA HEADCANONS- well duh first of all that crap ending doesn’t exist hahahaha- weilan is def canon and istg kunlun taught past shen wei how to bj like all that lollipop references esp when they met with all that hair?? kunlun was past shen wei’s first and only lmao - this makes things interesting now bc present shen wei with zhao yunlan would def know the best ways to pleasure that man-child bc he already knew from the past hahahaha- it’s already obvious but while shen wei is reserved and all controlled in public, zhao yunlan always managed to make him snap and eyyy zhao yunlan ain’t complaining with that aggressive hot papapa (thirsty fckr lol)- the entire SID are their adopted children and the “kids” always run to shen wei when zhao yunlan threatens to cut their bonus- but also the “kids” are def way more scared of shen wei aka the infamous black cloaked envoy and runs back to their shameless man-child of a dad bc hey as much as zhao yunlan threatens them, he’s never really cut their bonuses and he’d save them in an instant anytime anywhere despite his teasing (shen wei though? they’d all get legit scolded and punished for bad moves haha he’s def the disciplinarian)- technically, ever since the secret got out between weilan, shen wei had been staying over on the apartment in front of his *coughs* bc 1) someone needs to make sure zhao yunlan doesn’t die of poison and bacteria from his pig pen of a place; and 2) zhao yunlan is there (already canon but let’s make it that he cooks and prepares his stuff everyday)- again, that crap end didn’t happen and they both have a happy ending

NOVEL HEADCANONS- one of my all-time favorite stuff about them is when shen wei embraces his ghost nature and goes all dark on zhao yunlan that he’d sometimes whisper his dark fantasies like “i just want to lock you up” but zhao yunlan is a thirsty fckr and the biggest shen wei apologist so he just goes “das hot babe”- or when they’re in the middle of papapa and shen wei goes “sometimes i just want to eat you up to make you a part of me forever” and zhao yunlan responds with a grin “yeah? you should start with my pretty, pretty eyes” and shen wei just snaps back to his controlled self bc wtf zhao yunlan you’re not supposed to find that hot??? are you okay???- all their SID children (yes they def adopted that ragtag team lmao) has walked in on them doing it at least once - da qing complains the most bc he ends up seeing them the most (”i dont wanna see your dumb ass” “u fat fuq, no one told you to come in - and my ass isn’t dumb, it’s perk! right xiao wei?)- zhao yunlan is so mouthy to his complements to shen wei (he already does in canon but hey let’s amplify it) and everyone in the vicinity esp the SID team wretches whenever he goes “xiao wei! my love, my heart, my soul, my kidney, my toes, my -” “STOP ALREADY”) and shen wei is blushing and asks him to “ah-lan, please don’t be so shameless in public” “so in private, it’s okay?” and eyyy shen wei actually really loves it (spoiler: SID doesn’t)- once, zhao yunlan cuts everyone’s bonus so he can afford this expensive af gift to shen wei (only wang zheng knows but she’s a sweetheart so she only tells sang zan but sang zan accidentally spills to da qing and well chaos ensured after that)- weilan is forever in honeymoon- zhao papa and shennong-bo as canon still doesn’t like shen wei aka their son-in-law and always tries to drag their son away from him “shen wei is the ghost slayer who’s an abomination” “you dont have all the facts” “which are?” *zhao yunlan snuggling to shen wei “i love him”- i actually really like gui mian/ghost face/the twin and i hoped he had a better role slash screen time bc c’mon!!! someone almost the same as shen wei??? all the shenanigans possible there esp since he’s a crazy ass and shen wei doesn’t like him lol and zhao yunlan just has his eyes mooning over his xiao wei- weilan would have so many kinks lmao with zhao yunlan’s shamelessness?? and shen wei’s own 5,000 year thirst and weakness against zhao yunlan?? please they’d have a veeeeery satisfying papapa life and it isn’t new that sometimes when they orgasm, an earthquake or some tsunami happens bc heyyy powerful god/ghost immortal husbands- it’s rare since zhao yunlan’s shameless but there will be times where shen wei does or says something and zhao yunlan is rendered speechless and blushes (lin jing and da qing has some recorded as blackmail material)- I NEED TO STOP HERE BC IM GONNA WORD VOMIT EVEN MORE IF NOT HAHAHAHAHA

Stuck || Xiao Gui

Title: Stuck Pairing: Reader x Xiao Gui Genre: EnemiestoLovers!AU + College!AU + fluff Word Count: 2397 Summary: During a game of truth or dare, you find yourself stuck in a closet with the person you hate the most: Xiao Gui. Warnings: Mentions of alcohol and claustrophobia

A/N: My first Xiao Gui fic! It’s taken me way too long to write for him. I love this little bub so much. Please continue to shower him with love and affection, ty. The request originally only asked to be an enemies to lovers au, but I put my own spin on it and made it into a college au as well (which I’m modeling after American standards bc that’s all I know lol). This is also the longest fic I’ve ever written so far on the blog, so definitely putting it all under the cut. Happy reading!

“Come on, (y/n)! Live a little!” your friend Zhou Rui begged you through the phone.

You were casually chilling in your dorm room hoping to finally get some relaxation time after a long day of classes. While you did manage to catch an hour or so to nap, your plans for peace were thrown away the moment your best friend Zhou Rui called you in order to convince you to go to this college party being held by one of his friends later tonight.

“You already know I’m not much of a party person,” you whined.

“It’s still better than whatever you choose to spend your Friday nights. You’re always cooped up in your room!”

“There’s nothing wrong with binge watching my favorite drama!”

You can virtually imagine him rolling his eyes at you. “It’s college, kid. You can afford to give up one Friday to have some fun. I’ll be there with you the entire time,” he reasoned.

Knowing how persistent he could be, you sighed in defeat. You guessed he was right. This week was packed with assignments, so you barely had any time for any kind of enjoyment. Maybe a party would be good for you.

“I don’t have anything to wear,” you grumbled.

“Good thing you have me as your best friend in the entire world,” he sung, hanging up the phone shortly after.

As soon as you ended the call, there was a knock on your door. Rolling out of your bed, you opened the door to find none other than Zhou Rui standing there with a triumphant grin. He casually waltzed into your room and straight to your closet in order to cultivate an outfit for you.

“I’m pretty sure I can come up with something that doesn’t make you look like a bum.”

“Wow, rude. Best friend in the entire world, my ass.”

“It’s all love, kid.”

In little to no time, Zhou Rui easily managed to match a couple of your clothing items to make a bomb outfit. Not that you had any doubt that he would. The male was a fashion model for a reason.

After the both of you were ready, the two of your trekked over to whatever fraternity house the party was being held. It was slightly difficult to figure out which house it was considering all of the fraternities were hosting parties to kick start the weekend. Thankfully, Zhou Rui is pretty smart so the two of you made it to the party within good time.

As you watched Zhou Rui bro hug the host of the party (a popular senior named Qin Fen who was graduating this year), you scanned around the crowded room to see if you could spot any other familiar faces. In the middle of the mass of dancing bodies, you saw Cai Xukun who you shared your 10 am class with. Not too far from him was Wang Ziyi who was DJing the music for the party. Near the alcohol table, you recognized the one chugging a beer keg as Lin Yanjun (oh god, you prayed for his liver). In the corner of the room, you spotted your good friend Zhu Xingjie and his friend Zhou Yanchen.

And that’s when you spotted the devil incarnate himself.

Wang Linkai. Better known as Xiao Gui.

He was standing behind Xingjie and Yanchen so you barely noticed he was there. Feeling eyes on him, he turned to look in your direction. The two of you made heated eye contact as you glared at each other. Then, Xiao Gui proceeded to mockingly blow you a giant kiss, smacking his lips obnoxiously loud. With a look of disgust, you pretended to catch his ‘kiss’ and overexaggeratedly smacked it on your ass, causing Xingjie and Yanchen to snicker at Xiao Gui who glared harder from the burn you gave him.

You rolled your eyes and made your way through the crowd to try and find your best friend. You spotted him chatting with his friend Qin Zimo, a classmate you’ve met a few times who you remembered as being quite sweet, so you were surprised to see him at a party like this. Apologizing to Zimo, you dragged Zhou Rui away.

“Rui! You didn’t tell me that he’d be here!” you huffed angrily.

“Tell you who would be here?” he asked in confusion.

You nudged your head sharply to the left. Zhou Rui followed the direction until he saw where Xiao Gui and his friends were standing. He groaned loudly.

“Seriously? Xiao Gui?” he looked at you unimpressed.

“Duh, who else?”

He shook his head and responded, “I didn’t know he’d be here. Just ignore him.”

“How can I ignore him when he’s over there just... just...”

“Just what?”

“Breathing!”

The male deadpanned. “You sound ridiculous, you know that? What’s the deal between you two anyway? The two of you hate each other’s guts for seemingly no reason.”

You crossed your arms over your chest, a frown pulling at your lips. “He’s the one that started it. The little prick is always finding ways to mess around with me and get on my nerves. He’s a huge jerk and I won’t stand for it,” you spat.

Zhou Rui gave you a thoughtful look and reasoned, “Why don’t you give the guy a chance? From what I heard from Xingjie, he’s actually not a bad person, so I’m not sure why he acts that way around you. I’m not saying you two have to be buddy-buddy or anything, but it would be nice to have you guys not try and kill each other every time you both are in the same room.”

“Me and Xiao Gui? Getting along?” you asked in pure disbelief. “Like that would ever happen. Not in a million years.”

At this point, Zhou Rui looked defeated, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to get through your stubborn self. Throwing an arm around you, he began leading you away to the other room. “Let’s go, grumpy cat. I think a game of truth or dare can make you feel better.”

The game was already in progress but no one seemed to care that you joined in midway. A few rounds in, you did feel slightly better as you laughed at all of the absurd things people were dared to do. Some guy had to call a Chinese take out place and ask if they served sushi. Another guy had to brag on weibo about how much his “milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard.” One girl was dared to depict a human life through interpretive dance (she was also very drunk, so it was an entire mess).

Much to your displeasure, you noticed Xiao Gui and his crew join in the game. Luckily, he sat all the way across from where you did. You tried your best to ignore the feeling of his eyes on you. Eventually, it was your turn to play and the asker coincidentally was Zhou Rui.

“Truth or dare, (y/n)?”

You debated in your mind for a bit before replying bravely, “Dare.”

However, you regretted your choice the moment you saw the shit-eating grin that appeared on his face.

“I dare you to be locked in a closet with Xiao Gui for the remainder of the game.”

The entire room erupted into cheers and wolf whistles at his words. Your mouth dropped open in disbelief, immediately looking towards Xiao Gui who looked a mixture between smug and pissed off.

Vowing to get revenge on Zhou Rui later, you mentally cursed at him before stomping your way into the nearby closet that was held open, not even waiting for Xiao Gui to follow you. A minute later, the male joined you in the closet. Without a second to waste, the closet door was slammed shut along with the tiny ‘click’ signalling that you were officially locked in with your worst enemy.

Fumbling around in the dark, you hovered your hands in the air near the walls to try and see if you could find a light switch. Unfortunately, the light switch was outside of the room. Stepping to the side, you bumped into a hard chest and stumbled back a little before being caught with an arm around your waist to steady you.

“Easy there, tiger. You want to be all over me that badly?”“ Xiao Gui questioned teasingly.

“Piss off,” you snapped.

You were quick to step away from him, his arm falling to rest by his side. Carefully, you slowly backed up to a wall and slid down to the floor tiredly. You heard shuffling and guessed that Xiao Gui had done the same across from you.

“I can’t believe I’m locked in here with you,” you grumbled to yourself.

You heard him scoff, “Last time I checked you’re the main reason we’re in this shit to begin with.”

“Trust me. The last thing I would ever want to do is be stuck with you. Now shut up.”

“You were the one who started talking to me first, idiot.”

“Then, stop talking to me. This’ll go by a lot faster if we pretended like we aren’t sharing the same air.”

It was silent after that except for the sounds of drunk cheering and muted music being muffled through the thick closet door. There was light breathing coming from across from you. Looks like Xiao Gui decided to utilize his time by taking a nap. Aside from that, everything in the closet was pitch black, You couldn’t see anything at all. Neither of you had your phones (Zhou Rui made sure to take them from both of you), so you didn’t know how much time was passing and you had no idea when the game would end.

You sat there quietly as you tried to distract the uneasiness that began to rise in your stomach. As far as you knew, you didn’t really have a fear of tight spaces. But there was something about not being able to see or move much that started to negatively affect you. Gripping your hands into fists, you pulled your knees up into a fetal position.

“Xiao Gui...?” you called out quietly. Seeing that he was asleep, he didn’t hear you at all. Mustering up your courage, you called out to him louder.

“Xiao Gui!”

The said male groaned in annoyance from being awakened. “First, you tell me to stop talking to you. Then, you proceed to wake me up to talk. What the hell do you want?” he complained.

“Do you think they’ll let us out soon?” you asked softly.

“How am I supposed to know? I’m just as clueless as you are,” he answered before continuing with a mocking tone, “Why? Is little (y/n) scared of the dark?”

“...”

“...(Y/n)?”

You refused to answer him. To tell the truth, you were indeed afraid but you didn’t want to admit it to him. He wouldn’t let you hear the end of it and you don’t need that kind of torment right now. As the silence grew louder, so did the sound of your heart beating in your ears. Your body was shaking at this point.

You almost screamed in fear when you felt movement next to you, only for you to realize midway that it was Xiao Gui who was now sitting beside you. He proceeded to wrap his left arm around you and pull you tightly to his side. This was the closest you had ever been to him. He smelled of clean linen with a hint of citrus. It was a calming scent that put you slightly more at ease along with the comfort of feeling something warm around you.

“What are you doing?” you meekly said, not used to this kind of behavior coming from Xiao Gui of all people.

“It’s obvious that you’re afraid. I’m not going to sit around in silence and watch you have an entire breakdown,” he said.

His voice was surprisingly soothing and low, as if he was avoiding trying to scare you any further. You felt the presence of his hand linger in front of your face for a little before gently pressing it your cheek and wiping away a stray tear from your eye. You hadn’t realized you were crying.

You turned your head in his direction and wondered out loud, “But why? You don’t even like me.”

“I actually like you a lot.”

To say you were shocked was an understatement. Your worst enemy likes you? As in actually having feelings for you?

“That doesn’t make any sense. Why are you always acting as if you hate my guts?” you questioned.

The darkness of the closet disguised the longing look in Xiao Gui’s eyes. “That’s a good question. I didn’t mean to be like this. When I first realized I liked you, I was completely confused as to how to deal with these feelings. I’ve never liked someone like this before. I panicked, so my reaction was to act like a jerk in order to get your attention. Unfortunately, that plan backfired on me.”

“No shit, Sherlock.”

He chuckled sadly, “Yeah, I deserved that one. When we get out of here, you can go back to ignoring me. I won’t bother you anymore now that I know you practically despise me.”

You didn’t realize it yourself but your body had subconsciously leaned on Xiao Gui’s shoulder the entire time he was talking. There was something about the gentle way that he held you and was talking to you that made you feel comfortable and most importantly... safe. In his arms, you felt safe.

“You know... you could have just came up and talked to me. I would have given you a chance,” you stated matter-of-factly.

He seemed to think this over before replying, “Well... I’m talking to you now. Is that offer still available?”

You hummed in response, “Take me on a few dates and we’ll see from there.”

The sound of the door unlocking reached your ears, followed by the blinding colors of fluorescent lights as the door opened. There were more wolf whistles and cheering from behind Zhou Rui, who stood at the door with an I-told-you-so face. Rolling your eyes, you stood up and exited the closet with Xiao Gui’s arm slung over your shoulder. You had a feeling you’d be stuck with him for much longer than you think.

Tokyo Alien Bros: Manga Spoilers

Starting July 22nd 25:00 (i.e. July 23rd 1am), NTV will broadcast the live action adaption of Tokyo Alien Brothers, starring Inoo Kei (Hey!Say!JUMP) and Totsuka Shota (ABC-Z). Link

There are 10 chapters translated to English online and you should be able to find them on google. I was able to read the other 8 chapters on weibo, so if you are curious about how the story ends, I am going to post some spoilers after the cut.

The weibo account forbids sharing of the contents outside Weibo. Also the scans are in Chinese. If you really want to know, send me a message and I can send you the person’s account. Sorry, it’s a bit long and I didn’t have a chance to edit before posting.

I am going to use the names on the NTV website instead of the manga for a couple of characters. Also, there will probably be adaptational differences in the TV drama.

Fuyunosuke (Inoo Kei) - The little brother who was first sent to Earth to investigate if the environment is suitable for their species. His cover is an ikemen college student who is super popular (especially among the ladies) and has a very active social life. He is methodical and intelligent. He has been described by various characters as very handsome like a model, to the point when he was went shopping wearing a coat over pajamas, the Harajuku sales thought it was the latest fashion trend because there is no way such an ikemen will dress like a slob!

Natsutaro (Totsuka Shota) - The older brother who appeared out of nowhere while Fuyunosuke was having some racy sex with a random person. Since he showed up in his true form (a blob-like alien), they had to erase the girl’s memory. He is dumb and useless but kindhearted. He was supposedly sent to check on his brother since Fuyunosuke missed a few calls.

The first few chapters simply goes through how Fuyunosuke helped Natsutaro get familiar with earth: (I’ll just call them Fuyu and Natsu from now on)

- The alien bros cannot touch salt or else they will melt. Natsu found out when they went to eat shio ramen and he started melting.

- Natsu was walking around wearing a bathrobe until some old lady gave him some old clothes. Then he walked around wearing a tiger print shirt.

- Fuyu had been hiding his spaceship in a park. He took Natsu around the world to show him how interesting it is. Both brothers seem to be fond of Earth etc.

- Fuyu had many jobs: working at Lawsons, handing out tissue paper, etc. He took Natsutaro with him when he was handing out tissue paper. Fuyu ditched Natsu on the pretense of a date, but really, he wanted to call HQ. Natsu ate some gum (?) and went berserk. He ended up crashing into a truck and part of his face got torn off. He escaped...

***

Meanwhile, Fuyu was suspicious of HQ’s motive of sending Natsu to monitor him. During a call back to HQ, he laid out his suspicion. He said that Natsu was dumb, but if someone as dumb as Natsu can immerse into the environment, then it is proof that the aliens can migrate without any issues. HQ confirmed and said there are 2 milestones for Natsu: a) find a job, and b) find a girlfriend, then it is proof that Earth is suitable for their species. HQ told Fuyu not to tell Natsu anything. Just as he was pondering how to help Natsu, Natsu walked in and said he found a job!

Natsu was hiding from the mob who seen his partially destroyed face. He went into this candy store and asked the elderly lady if she would hire him and she said yes! So he started working there. A bunch of kids thought he was weird, since he wore that tiger shirt every day. One day, Natsu accidentally drank something salty and his face started to melt, and one little girl saw it. She got her friends to go unmask him. Somehow, one kid fell into the river and was about to drown. Natsu dived in to save the boy and emerged in his true form. However, since the kids were grateful to him, they decided to keep the brothers’ secret.

So now, girlfriend. Fuyu held a takoyaki party at his place. His friends, including Chinami* (Tsunematsu Yuri) and Okabe (Owada Kensuke). Okabe had a crush on Chinami and she (like every single girl) was interested in Fuyu. Anyway, Okabe was trying to get with Chinami and absolutely struck out. While Okabe was feeling low, Natsu empathized with him since they were both losers. Chinami suddenly found herself attracted to Natsu after that outburst of emotion.

* I think Chinami is called Ritsuko in the manga. Not sure why they changed it.

***

Fuyu decided to take Natsu shopping, since he had been wearing the same tiger shirt and obviously no ladies want to get with that! Fuyu walked out in PJ’s and a trench coat, but because he is as good looking as a model, the sales people thought wearing PJs and a trench coat is the trendy thing to do. No ikemen would be caught in something like that! Natsu didn’t have money, so Fuyu took him to the store Chinami worked in. Chinami was helping Natsu with clothes and suddenly Fuyu remembered how she helped him pick out proper clothes. He felt angry and ran off. Natsu chased after Fuyu and left his tiger shirt behind. He asked Fuyu why he needed to buy clothes, and Fuyu told him about the mission.

***

Fuyu woke up with Haruru (Ohgo Suzuka). He was wondering why he felt so weird. Haruru suggested he might be jealous of his brother. Fuyu dismissed the idea. In the meantime, Chinami went to Natsu’s workplace to return the shirt and to ask him out. Fuyu, who was absolutely not jealous, kept trying to disrupt their date by transforming himself into a smarmy guy, a smarmy middle-aged guy, and even a giant cat to try and steal Chinami away. He finally admitted to himself that he was jealous. While Natsu and Chinami was at a love hotel, Natsu’s face started melting when Chinami kissed him. He had to wipe her memory and ran home. Fuyu decided that in order to understand women, they needed to become women.

***

Fuyuko and Natsuko went out and explore as women. Naturally, Fuyuko was super cute while Natsuko looked like a character from the 80′s wearing a power suit. While they out, a scout told Fuyuko that he could make *her* a star and took *her* for a ride in his fancy car. Natsu had been trying to contact HQ with no avail, so he went home to call HQ again. HQ told him that the Earth migration plan was cancelled because another investigation team found an even better planet for them. Fuyu, one of his hands transformed into a blade, his face covered with blood, was staring down at the scout’s body, whose decapitated head laid beside him! “You should not have tried to rape me. Men are disgusting creatures.”

***

Fuyu took the dead scout’s car keys and took Natsu for a ride. He was also starting to lose it. He ended up crashing the car. He told Natsu what happened and that he was completely disgusted. They ended up in a park and Natsu told Fuyu about the end of the Earth Migration plan. Suddenly, the cops showed up to arrest Natsu for the truck incident earlier in the story.

As the cops put the handcuffs on Natsu, Natsu’s hand melted (or snapped off) and he started running away. Fuyu, forever cleaning up his older brother’s mess, erased the memory of the cops, but an old guy saw them. Fuyu was about to kill the old guy because he was of no consequence, but Natsu stopped him. A crowd gathered while they were in half alien form so they had to make a run for the subway.

While riding the train, Fuyu was clearly losing it because he had to leave Earth (even though he won’t admit to it). Suddenly, a swarm of people got onto the train as it was rush hour. Fuyu got pissed with all the people and was going to kill everyone in the packed train because they are moving to the new place and it no longer mattered. Natsu ate some of the gum from earlier, grabbed Fuyu and literally flew out of the train. Unfortunately, they were going to fall into the sea. In order to save his brother, Fuyu threw Natsu onto the sidewalk while he fell into the sea. When Fuyu made it back to the shore, he was melted down to a kid-sized blob. As he needed to transform into something of the same mass, he could no longer become an ikemen, a cute girl, or even an old guy. He transformed into a white cat. Natsu took him home.

***

Cat-Fuyu was not accustomed to his new cat body. He also sensed that Natsu kinda fell in love with Earth, so he decided to go back home on his own. But since he was a cat, it took him forever to get back to his space ship and when he was about to pass out, he remembered how he was when he first showed up on Earth. Haruru picked up Cat-Fuyu and told him she would help him and that she knew he was an alien.

In the meantime, Natsu was going crazy looking for Cat-Fuyu and asked Fuyu’s friends to help him hand out flyers to look for his lost cat, Fuyunosuke. He said he named the cat after his brother (who was “travelling”) because it looked like his brother. Anyway, Haruru took Cat-Fuyu home to Natsu.

Cat-Fuyu told Natsu that he only wanted to leave since Natsu really liked his life on Earth. The brothers shared a last conversation together and Natsu took Cat-Fuyu back to his space ship. Natsu and Fuyu hugged before Fuyu left to the new place. Natsu went home and found a box Fuyu left him. It was his Earthly research with a note “Even though I don’t know if it will be of use to you. - Fuyunosuke” Natsu flipped through the pictures of the brothers and had a silent drink on the balcony alone.

***

A number of months later, Natsu was integrated into his Earthly life. He was hanging out with Chinami, Okabe, and other friends of Fuyu. He missed his brother. He was walking his dog and saw a white cat that looked like Cat-Fuyu. Nope. He Suddenly his dog barked at a middle-aged guy, who turned away. “Fuyunosuke? What are you doing here?” Middle-aged guy turned back into Fuyunosuke.

Fuyu: Looks like I am discovered.

Natsu: Well, there were so many flaws in your disguise.

Fuyu: Oops. Well, the new place is too boring, so I came back.

Natsu: Your body?

Fuyu: Yeah, HQ has the best technology, so they were able to fix my body.

Natsu: Welcome back, Fuyunosuke.

Fuyu: I am home, big brother.

The brothers went back home and shared a drink on the balcony like they always did. They looked at each other and laughed.

- The End -

As I’ve gotten more and more in kpop how fans behave sadly plays a role if I want to listen/follow groups/artists I have never did before lol Even if they may make good music or I hear good comments from like neutral parties I probably still will not because how some fans act is terrible. Yes I am missing some good stuff lol but I don’t enjoy fighting or how there are double standards in groups which I know I will not be able to avoid because it’s hard for me to ever not start reading or looking up about the people I am enjoying. And I look at the bg and the gg groups I love and I think I can honestly say I have never deep down hated any member like they seem to hate him or take any available opportunity to drag him. Even before this, some of his comments always drew the weirdest reactions and fighting and it’s like if this was someone else it wouldn’t be getting a thousand shitty quote retweets. I follow nct bubble accounts and iirc he got a lot of hate/shit for I think rooting for Germany (?) during the euro games. There were also a lot ton of shit tweets saying how he was a weirdo and making fun of him and labeling him a “furry” because he loves the beastar anime. Of the top of my head these two came into my mind. There are more but I’m still half asleep lol but I remember admins needing to disable comments and my timeline fighting and it was a mess. To me these are such harmless comments that got people soooo riled up. So he has a team he wants to win and he likes an anime show that is popular and he has shared before how he watches/likes anime. So wth is the problem? And if iirc too yy had been rooting for the Milwaukee during the nba finals and other members have shared the things they enjoyed but there was no fighting, no hate thrown and no side comments. So how is it possible for people to do the SAME thing but draw completely different reactions? 🙄🙄

And I was on Twitter last night and yeah I’m judging how you fans behaved esp these super loud obnoxious ones. Idk if you saw the series of pictures xj posted. But he has a new hair color and people were freaking out and loving his pictures. But then he deleted them all off all and people thought he was had to cause he was spoiling something. No it wasn’t because it turns out it’s a day of remembrance for the Mukden incident and no entertainment posts are supposed to be made. Then I saw the same people deleting all these posts about them freaking out and thinking they’re spoilers and asking not to spread the pictures on the different platforms esp on weibo cause they don’t want him to get hate cause it’ll hurt him and the group. And I will say this… that if this was lc, that shit would have spread like crazy already and I would be reading all these damn comments of “why is he so disrespectful?” “he’s so stupid” and “how the fuck does he not know the history?!” I’ve been in fandom long enough to see how you people move. Pfft.

the thing you said in the beginning about fans behavior is why i tend to distance myself from them (mainly twitter). too many times have they ruined the experience for me, but i don't want to let them ruin a good thing for me so i distance myself. i also have never hated a member of a group i love/used to love.

in my opinion, some celebs tend to get more hate because one, popularity and two, jealously. i think a lot of celebs get so much unwarranted hate because of jealously. whether they're jealous of his success or they're jealous their faves aren't getting the same attention. there are probably other reasons, but this the first thing that always comes to my mind. (again, this is just the unnecessary hate. sometimes they get hate for good reason but sometimes it goes too far).

i only check insta like twice a day so i didn't see the photos until i looked it up on twitter when you sent this. i apologize for the late reply and the xj reposted them as i'm answering. i've seen nctzens talk about preparing for nct 2021 and i'm curious what sm's plans are regarding lucas with that.

i think, specifically right now, some fans are being a bit more careful(?) so the others don't get hate. but talking about in general, i think it is sad how different the situations would be because i agree that if it were lucas the reaction would be different.

personally, i feel like a lot of groups have one member who always get more shit on for no reason and i think it's really sad. i would love to know the reasoning behind this and just nonsense hate in general.

they don't deserve it, but they get it, and we can't do much to help the situation as much as it sucks.

The musters

The musters are yearly fan meetings where the boys interpret some of their songs but mainly play games or skits for ARMY’s enjoyment.

Held on: supposedly 150613

17520 stands for 17 520 hours (so 730 days, so 2 years) since debut and thus spent together with ARMY. Some photos of the concept were posted in the boys’ birthday albums.

An invitation for ARMY was published on Youtube.

The event was canceled due to MERS and postponed to 24 January 2016.

Zip code 22920

Held on: 160124

Album of the concept

Can be found in: Memories of 2016

22920 stands for 22 920 hours since debut and thus spent together with ARMY. A manual about how to use the BTS standees was published to show ARMY the different poses they could take next to it

@GetOnSwag found some of their outfits:

j-hope: top

SUGA: uncle

j-hope: mother

RM: Kim Army the daughter

Jung Kook: father

The boys filmed their Chuseok live from the 13 September 2016 after the shooting of this skit.

4th muster: Happy Ever After

Held on: 180113-180114

Teasers: poster #1 (on Twitter), poster #2

Album: stage sketch

Can be found in: Happy Ever After DVD

Outfits and accessories identified by @GetOnSwag: list

Along with the first poster, another teaser was published on Instagram. It shows the eight recurring items that can be linked to the boys. The connections were found by _macchamilktea and jhopeah on Twitter. As for the eighth one, the bottle, it contains their memories in the form of colorful clouds and has labels such as “Worldwide”, “The Wings Tour The Final”, or “BTS 3rd Muster”.

Concerning the main poster, it shows a factory to create bottles of memories. It’s handled by the boys and full of little references.

Following the production line we have:

The scroll and the color purple are associated with RM. He’s the Recipe Messenger thus the “clouds recipe” machine.

His outfit looks like the one he wore on the 24 September 2017, for the Super Concert. The bag is probably a reference to the one he had for a while (x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x) and that his mother disliked (found thanks to Reddit). During 2 Cool 4 Skool and ORUL8,2? he had glasses in both the concept and the MV. As he’s also famous for his clumsiness, the glasses are broken and repaired with tape, something he actually did during a fansign on the 6 July 2013. He also broke a pair during American Hustle Life and in BTS Comeback Show, where we also discovered the tomato lamp. It’s a gift from Hoseok for Namjoon’s birthday.

The lollipop and the color green are associated with j-hope. He’s the compounder, he reduces the sweet moments symbolized by lollipops to dust.

As the main dancer, obviously he’s dancing, the “ho! ho!” and his pose indicate he’s doing his favorite move from “Save Me”. His outfit is the one from the performance at Music Bank, on the 22 September 2017. A BOMB from that day was released. Next to him is a Bearbrick in reference to Hobi’s hobby of collecting the figurines. He posted photographs of his collection on Twitter (here’s a partial list of the figurines) and showed his Snoopy during the Episode for the group’s first birthday. A Bearbrick was even featured in his poster for BTS Begins.

The fact there are seven lollipops is probably to remind the seven members.

The cotton candy and the color red are associated with V. He’s the chef, the machine next to him turns the lollipop dust into a memory cloud.

He’s seen harvesting because he considered becoming a farmer before becoming an artist.

The field forms the logo for the fandom, namely ARMY.

The cutlery and the color orange are associated with Jin. He’s the taster, he checks the memory clouds before the bottling.

Jin is the only one who’s not in his corner but at another place. He has two sugar gliders, Odeng and Eomuk. He posted several times on Twitter with them: x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x. We also saw them in Mnet’s BTS Comeback Show. He’s learning how to play the guitar. You can see him play in one of his Eat Jin episode with Jimin and Jungkook (around 3:50). He also played during the 2016 Fanmeetings in Japan (it’s probably where his outfit is from) and in his Puma Bog Sock cf. Jin is known to like the color pink (cue the pink lamp) and food. He has a personal show called “Eat Jin”, available on Youtube and Vlive for the recent ones.

The ribbon and the color yellow are associated with Jung Kook. He’s the decorator, thus the ribbons and probably the tape that he puts on the bottles of memories.

The fact he’s lifting the conveyor belt and the pink dumbbell are there to remind us he’s the most muscular in the group. The bag and the hat are references to Bon Voyage S2 in Hawai. The trophy in the bag is a reference to his lines in “Mic Drop”:

Did you see my bag It’s full of trophies

Lastly, his outfit is a reference to the one he wore for the 2017 K-POP World Festival in Changwon.

The quill and the color pink are associated with SUGA. He’s the labeler, thus his desk with all the labels ready to be written on to indicate which memory the bottle contains.

The mic is a reference to his iconic move at the end of “Mic Drop”. The fact he’s sleeping and the lounger remind his reputation of being lazy/always sleeping.

The ladder and the color blue are associated with Jimin. He’s the curator, thus his position near the shelves where he put the bottles of memories.

The yellow blanket, his outfit, his hair, the calico cat, and the telescope are all reference to his solo intro for LOVE YOURSELF Her, “Serendipity”. The plaid shirt is something Jimin wears often (x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x), especially yellow ones (x, x, x, x, x).

More items were dispersed here and there:

The flowers from the cover of Love Yourself承 Her

The top part of the Army Bomb, the group official lightstick

V’s tiger necklaces and Vmin’s swing.

V showed the green pendant in one of his solo VLive (starting 4:59) and said he associates himself with a (baby) tiger and that he bought it with Jimin in New York.

Concerning the swing, Jimin and Taehyung played around one during their stay in the U.S. to record Dark & Wild and film American Hustle Life.

The flower from the Puma Courtstar campaign

Jimin’s manggaetok.

Jimin is associated with those glutinous rice cakes because of his soft-looking cheeks that reminded fans of the treat.

Jin’s Mario collection. He even danced with a Mario plushie during “Just One Day” practice)

Jin’s birthday gift to Jimin (found thanks to Reddit)

Sope uniforms.

Sope is the name of the subunit formed by SUGA and j-hope. They have their own show, Hwagae Market (pre-opening, teaser ep1, ep1, ep2, ep3, special section in the 4M followers celebration, ep4, ep5), they made their debut during the 2016 fanmeetings in Japan but they had already sung during the 2016 Festa party (starting 58:13) as SOPE-ME. The BOMB of their training can be found here.

The house from the 2017 Festa.

During the 2017 Festa three songs were released: “4 o’clock”, “We don’t talk anymore Pt.2″ and “So far away” featuring Jin and Jung Kook. All the illustrations for those songs can be connected to form a house under a full moon.

The mailbox (우편 is written on it and simply means “mail”). It’s just an assumption but since the previous musters were named after zip codes, I guess it’s to reference them.

On the right, we can see the logos for BTS and ARMY together.

The seven colors associated to the boys are all aligned below: red/V, orange/J, yellow/JK, green/JH, blue/JM, pink/SG, purple/RM. You can also see them on the balloons surrounding the giant bottle in the middle.

The remaining elements are the trophies won by the boys. We can see the prizes from the following events:

Korean Popular Culture & Arts Awards

Mnet Asian Music Awards

and 8. Seoul Music Awards

Inkigayo

Golden Disk Awards

Show Champion

Billboard Music Awards

In the preview of the DVD little details were added to the poster. It’s actually drawings made by the boys to describe themselves:

RM drew Koya, his BT21 character

j-hope drew Mang, his BT21 character

V drew Yeontan, his dog

Jung Kook drew a camera

SUGA drew Holly, his dog

Jimin drew accessories

Jin drew RJ, his BT21 character

During the show

Jimin was wearing a Thom Browne outfit (cr.).

We see the recipe:

Memories of BTS and ARMY

~ memory cloud instructions ~

You only need a few ingredients for your handmade memory cloud

• 4 cups of Happiness • 1 cups of Awesomeness • 2 cups of Laughter • 1/4 teaspoon of Hope • 3 tablespoon of Joyfulness (can use other things, such as Delight, ****) • 1/2 tablespoon of Wonder • 2 drops of pink Love • 3 cups of pleasure

Gather up these ingredients: it’s time to make the happy memory you’ve been craving. If you’d like your memory cloud to be a different color, substitute the two drops of pink love coloring for something else - *** excitement, green hope, or purple joy would all make ******* memory cloud hues.

The ingredients have colors fitting with the boys’ (credits and all my thanks to @honeyhoneysugarsugar for seeing Jin’s and V’s, you can see their reblog in the notes of this post):

Wonder: orange = Jin

Joyful: pink = SUGA

Laugh: green = j-hope

Touching: purple = RM

Awesomeness: blue = Jimin

Happy: red = V

Hope: yellow = Jung Kook

You can also see a little Apollo Belvedere torso behind Jin in his room. There was also an Apollo Belvedere during the Mnet stage of “Blood, Sweat & Tears.”

During Jin’s delirium we can see an alpaca - an animal often associated with Jin, RJ is an alpaca for example - but also a text that’s actually Windows’ Blue screen of death.

____________

Apart from the adventures of the ARMY BOMB fairies, we also got a sequel to House of Army with Guardians of the ARMY BOMB. Dad Jungkook, big brother Taehyung, as well as uncle Yoongi, thus make their comeback after their first apparition in the 3rd muster. We see them being protected by the guardians of the ARMY BOMB.

Jin published a picture of RM as a guardian for the leader’s birthday in 2019.

Okay I'm going to make a post because I can't deal with everything that got asked/shat out my way

I am sorry for this rant, but I am legit ready to leave tumblr again. Like I forgot why I hated it so much, but lord is this an unhealthy environment for so many reasons. Mainly, because of discourse/call out culture. And I'm obviously not talking about being "PC" or anything, but just being an all around mean spirited person if anyone says anything that either 1) doesn't agree with you/your views/your fandom, 2) if anything is even slightly false or not entirely fact-checked, or 3) goes against most popular opinions without writing an entire graduate-level thesis about why you believe your opinion/view/observation is valid. Like if you want to complain or voice an opinion about anything, or even joke about something that you think is funny, you could very likely almost immediately be called out or even be sent WAVES of hate that usually is completely undeserved. Especially since people are hiding behind a screen of anonymity or at least behind an online persona, they don't think about the person on the receiving end of it. They don't think how their mean spirited comments or backlash could effect them mentally, and they don't even stop to think what else could be going on in their lives. Yesterday, (was it yesterday? I think it was yesterday, but GOD was it a long fucking day if it was) I made some posts after recapping through the Rost. Cup after I watched each medalist's short and long, as well as all the US skaters, big names, and for the men and ladies, almost all 11 skaters honestly. I love figure skating, and NO, unlike a lot of people wrongfully assumed, am not a part of the "fandom" and did not get into it because of YOI. Was a passion reignited from like a barbeque level flame to a bonfire with YOI's help? Yes. But would it probably have gone to a similar level with the Olympic season going into full swing? Highly likely. But anyways, I made some posts because I wanted to voice some observations, complaints, and things I thought were funny because tumblr is the only place I ever really rant/voice theories/talk about a lot of my interests, since I don't have any irl friends who are interested in almost half of the things I am. So, tumblr is usually the place that I dump these feelings/thoughts. Sure, one of them was a little off-color, and posted without thinking, but after about an hour (and like 3-4 replies I think), I looked back on it, and realized it didn't need to be posted out there, even if I didn't mean it to be mean. Does this mean I owed every single person who "called me out" for being uninformed, or for being mean, or for being whatever the hell I am a reply? No. Did I know that some things were answered over Twitter, or weibo (sp?) or Reddit, or whatever other gd social media that I don't use? No. Does that man I am uniformed and spreading lies or whatever? I don't think so, and that doesn't make me a fucking villain. I also deleted it, because I realized I was wrong. End of story, part 1. But then, the figure skating fandom found some of my posts/commentary/rants. (god forbid they somehow find this and attack me ALL OVER AGAIN, except for y'all that were part of this whole issue. I hope y'all see this, because it's not like I blocked you. Except for one tumblr user who blocked me because of my post? Like you do you, except don't reblog my post and block me so I can't see what you said, presumably about how I am a terrible person). And apparently 1) if you insult/don't like/say Y***** H**** didn't do his best/were disappointed in him, or if you like the person who won over him more... Then you deserve to die. And 2) if you even make a post about YOI or other anime, you are a fake fan who knows nothing. And 3) even mirroring almost the exact words of sports (specifically figure skating) commentators in your posts means nothing? Like it OBVIOUSLY means that you are making up bullshit to hate on skaters that are popular and are misinformed, right??? Or if you say one thing that was similar to an APPARENTLY problematic broadcast group, that nothing (including any commentary from official other broadcasts, because GUESS WHAT: it's hard to find recordings of all of the programs and exhibitions with English commentary, and there are usually 3-4 networks that have it, and SO MANY people upload different ones to YouTube) else you say matters or has any merit. I haven't even read all of the hate mail and submissions I received from this debacle. My mental health can't take it. I literally woke up for school the next morning, saw my notifications and couldn't get myself to stop crying from the anger/upsetness/trauma/depressed thoughts that bubbled up with all of it, and I couldn't even get myself to go to class because I was so shaken. Like visibly, physically shaken, to the point where I couldn't think straight and I literally had tremors from how upset and unstable it made me feel. Tumblr should be a place where I can voice my opinion on something I am passionate about without all this hate. I literally have no other place. Right now, irl, I got dragged into drama (not mine, I swear, I was just a witness and got pulled into the mess) with my honor society, and the girl who started it all is trying to pit the entire organization against me. I can't post anything on my finsta, and God forbid I even tried to post anything in Facebook. (Not like I would). I am already in a very dark place mentally and emotionally because of the trauma this is putting me through, and how unwanted, useless and disgusting everybody is making me feel. I shouldn't be getting that from strangers who just decided to make my life even more miserable on top of it. Legitimately, out of the 30-40 comments/asks/replies/submissions I recieved, only one person even tried to realize where I was coming from or to educate me on what I had done wrong or missed in my analysis. But some of their wording just mirrored all the hate l had recieved, or even other things I had been told in real life that just made me cry even harder and I still can't bring myself to reply to even the person who was civil. My one big point to anyone who sees this is (besides don't be a dick/cyber bully/create and stir up unnecessary discourse) is don't assume that people don't know what they're talking about? Or don't assume that they are fake fans? And don't make people spell every letter of their opinion out for you in a 12 page thesis if it doesn't comply with the tumblr norm. Cuz here are some fun facts about me that I don't normally publicize / post about on tumblr: Yes, I am an anime fan, but Jesus Christ I love/am a huge fan of WAY more than I am in the fandom for. I am honestly only in like 4-5 anime fandoms. Same thing goes for other things I like, such as Harry Potter or marvel. I can like things, A LOT, and be passionate about them without being in the fandom. That doesn't mean I don't like it or I'm not knowledgable on the subject. That doesn't mean that I am an idiot for not knowing a fact/opinion/theory that has made its way around the fandom, that I'm not a part of. YES, I am a HUGE SPORTS FAN. It was legitimately also my fucking career (as a sports reporter/journalist/broadcaster). Do I post on tumblr about Baseball or Football or Hockey? Almost never. Does that make me any less of a fan, or does that make me any less knowledgeable about teams and rules? No. Does that mean that I didn't play/participate in almost every sport growing up? (baseball for 6 years, I still play Intermural football, tennis for 3 years, volleyball for 4, soccer for 1, swimming for like 5 years, I tried track, even karate and some other random stuff.) YES, I AM FUCKING KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT PERFORMANCE SPORTS. I have participated/competed/trained/still watch almost every kind of performance sport. Of course color guard and marching band has been the longest, and the thing I was best at (7 years), but I grew up doing all kinds of dance and I still do lots of dance, as well as TONS of my own choreography. I've done baton and cheer for about 1-2 years each too. I did gymnastics for 4 years — was I very good? hell no. But do I know about it and appreciate it? Yes. SAME THING GOES FOR FIGURE SKATING. I only had like half a years worth of lessons, and like 3 routines that I ever finished and performed with figure skating, but that is because it is an expensive af sport, and I had way more activities and sports that I was better at, more passionate about learning, and were more accessible. BUT did I grow up going to figure skating shows like Disney on Ice or Stars on ice? Did that stop me from waiting in line for hours to get Michelle Kwan and other famous figure skaters autographs? No. Did that stop me from watching almost every single minute of the 2014 and 2010 Olympics? No. Do I still remember watching parts of the 2006 Olympics with my parents and absolutely being ENTHRALLED and wanting to do that too? YES. I still remember watching the 2014 Olympics from my aunt's house when I was staying on a cot in her living room because my mother was in the hospital and CRYING when I saw Y* H* perform, break world records, and win the gold. It was a sense of normalcy and awe because everything else going wrong in my life didn't matter while I was watching these amazing athletes perform. And GUESS WHAT, since I'm not really a part of the Figure Skating fandom (just like I'm not in the musical theatre fandom, or in anything regards to hair or makeup) I don't post about my own hype or plans regarding how excited I am for things to come out. So nobody here on tumblr, or almost ANYONE knew how excited I was for this upcoming Grand Prix season for the first actual competition of the Olympic season. I watched almost every challenger series video, as well as the autumn winter classic and competitions of the like. Even the JGPF events in anticipation. But guess what: I literally have a note on my phone that has all of Team USA's competition schedules, and their scores that they have gotten so far (like at the COR), along with a list of my favorite international skaters, and other new skaters to watch. I was so hype, so excited, and I thought that maybe, since figure skating had boomed in popularity, thanks in part to YOI (but also, helped people be more vocal and open about how much they love the sport even if ex already did) I would be able to discuss the excitement with other people. But no. Instead of being able to say "omg I'm so excited for blah blah blah, I hope they make the Olympic team. But I also love this show concept and this other persons costume, and you also can't count out blah blah blah" and being civil with conversation among other fans... They instead will say " wow you like blah blah blah? But you said this about them, and that offends me so you're wrong, and you forgot this tiny detail from 3 years ago, and you like anime so you OBVIOUSLY only care about figure skating because of YOI. Take your bandwagon fan bullshit away from me and go kill yourself". So now, I am staying the fuck away from the figure skating fandom, I've literally left half of my choreography untouched for almost 2-3 months, don't want to read/finish any of my YOI fanfics, and will probably even have a hard time watching Skate Can this weekend (even though like 6 of my favorite skaters are competing, and I was so excited before). Guess I'll just have to annoy my snapchat friends with videos of skating and me screaming because of skating. Fuck you tumblr, and I doubt I'll make any more original posts outside of APO planning and reblogs in the foreseeable future,

#figure skating #I don't care about other tags so oops oh well #fuck you FS fandom #you are ruining something I love #I literally have cried again while writing this #and I feel sick like I want to vomit #my self esteem is at a healthy -94 right now #shut up Dani #long post

Mobile Phone Overuse, Why? How to Stop Being Addicted to Your Phone

By Yang Yang

One day, I read a popular saying online that went something like this, “The farthest distance in the world isn’t the other side of the world, it’s sitting next to you while you play with your phone.” No matter if you’re on the subway, on the bus, in a restaurant, or on the streets … at any time of the day, you can always find a certain group of people, phubbers. They have a phone, tablet, or some other gadget in their hand as they watch videos, play games, or look at their friend feed, and their members are primarily young people.

As technology has developed, the internet has made our lives much more convenient. People can buy what they want without leaving the house, or they can contact different people without going out. But what is brought about by the convenience of the internet? Let’s take a look at the relevant reports.

Ms. Yue likes to go online. When online shopping emerged as a widespread phenomenon, she spent a lot of time shopping online, often until 1–2 in the morning, sometimes even until 6 in the morning, and when she went to work the next day, she fell asleep at her desk. After chatting software came out, she often chatted into the middle of the night, and even when she was exhausted, her hands were still not idle. Gradually her memory declined significantly, she suffered from a bad neck, and had dark circles under her eyes. Her husband was very dissatisfied with her over this, saying that she had forgotten her aims in life over a toy.

Mr. Wang’s nephew is 14 years old, and he used to be very obedient, but ever since he became obsessed with going online on his mobile phone, it is always in his hand, whether he’s eating or sleeping, the degree of myopia in his eyes has been rising, and he has become absolutely silent. To buy equipment in the game he loves, he used his dad’s credit card twice to charge 10,000 yuan. When his father discovered it, the boy stubbornly refused to admit it.

According to a psychological counseling survey conducted by Capital Normal University, 77% of people have their mobile phones turned on for more than 12 hours a day; 33.55% have them turned on 24 hours a day; 65% say “I feel some anxiety when my mobile phone isn’t next to me,” and more than 90% can’t live without their phones. The first thing phubbers do when they wake up every day is to look at their mobile phones, and they need to check their mobile phones before they go to bed. They spend their days refreshing Weibo, watching their friend feed, and playing online games.

These phubbers are completely immersed in their individual online world. They experience all the sensations the internet brings them as if no one else was there, as if all the people, matters, and things around them no longer exist. Slowly, they lose direction in their lives, and the distance between them and other people grows. They focus solely on phubbing, looking only at their mobile phones while ignoring the people around them, and erecting a thick barrier to prevent exchange between themselves and others. In the long run, although they seem to interact frequently and intensely with their friends on the internet, their relationships with people in real life become ever more narrow and closed off, and their ability to socialize withers, which becomes an obstacle to communication. For example, some children are sluggish when they arrive at school, and have nothing to say to their classmates, but when they turn on their mobile phones, their eyes brighten and their minds become sharp. They have absolutely no interest in learning or their futures, and only care about gaming. Or, some couples typically only care about their work, and only play games or chat online when they have free time. As time goes on, husband and wife no longer share a common language, and they live as strangers under the same roof. Not only that, it also leads to frequent danger. Many people hold mobile phones and tablets while walking, making major accidents due to looking at their phones a common occurrence. For example, one young girl was walking along the street and only looking at her phone, and as a result, she stepped into a hole and got her leg trapped in a well. Helpless, she had to ask the police for help, and a metal saw was required to remove the sewer cover and free her. A young mother stepped into an elevator while looking at her phone instead of her 2-year-old daughter, who fell into the elevator shaft and died. Another young woman was walking along a lake shore while playing with her phone and then fell into the lake…. We can see that phubbing is no ordinary social problem, it’s one that impacts and threatens people’s lives and work, and it’s one that shouldn’t be underestimated. But, the question we should reflect on is that even though many people have already seen, heard, and experienced the hidden dangers of being a phubber, why are they still so obsessed? Why do people choose to be a phubber without a moment of hesitation? If things keep going like this, what will be the consequences?

Just at the moment when I was overcome by this problem, I accepted the work of God. In God’s words, I finally found the answer. God says: “We only wish to talk about the ideas that social trends bring about for people, the way they cause people to conduct themselves in the world, the life goals and outlook that they bring about in people. These are very important; they can control and influence man’s state of mind. One after another, all these trends carry an evil influence that continually degenerates man, causing them to continually lose conscience, humanity and reason, and that lowers their morals and their quality of character more and more, to the extent that we can even say the majority of people now have no integrity, no humanity, neither do they have any conscience, much less any reason. So what are these trends? You cannot see these trends with the naked eye. When the wind of a trend blows through, perhaps only a small number of people will become the trendsetters. They start off doing this kind of thing, accepting this kind of idea or this kind of perspective. The majority of people, however, in the midst of their unawareness, will still be continually infected, assimilated and attracted by this kind of trend, until they all unknowingly and involuntarily accept it, and are all submerged in and controlled by it. For man who is not of sound body and mind, who never knows what is truth, who cannot tell the difference between positive and negative things, these kinds of trends one after another make them all willingly accept these trends, the life view and values that come from Satan. They accept what Satan tells them on how to approach life and the way to live that Satan ‘bestows’ on them. They have not the strength, neither do they have the ability, much less the awareness to resist.”

“Do these social trends have a big influence on people? (Yes.) So do these social trends have a deeply harmful effect on people? (Yes.) A very deeply harmful effect on people. Satan uses one of these social trends after another to corrupt man’s what? (Conscience, reason, humanity, morals.) What else? (Man’s view on life.) Do they cause a gradual degeneration in people? (Yes.) Satan uses these social trends to lure people one step at a time into a nest of devils, so that people caught up in social trends unknowingly advocate money and material desires, as well as advocate wickedness and violence. Once these things have entered man’s heart, what then does man become? Man becomes the devil Satan! This is because of what psychological leaning in the heart of man? What does man advocate? Man begins to like wickedness and violence. They do not like beauty or goodness, much less peace. People are not willing to live the simple life of normal humanity, but instead wish to enjoy high status and great wealth, to revel in the pleasures of the flesh, sparing no effort to satisfy their own flesh, with no restrictions, no bonds to hold them back, in other words doing whatever they desire. So when man has become immersed in these kinds of trends, can the knowledge that you have learned help you get free? Can the traditional culture and superstitions you know help you cast off this dire predicament? Can the traditional morals and traditional ceremony that man comprehends help them exercise restraint? Take the Three Character Classic, for example. Can it help people pull their feet out of the quicksand of[a] these trends? (No, it cannot.) In this way, man becomes more and more evil, arrogant, condescending, selfish, and malicious. There is no longer any affection between people, no longer any love between family members, no longer any understanding between relatives and friends.”

“Satan corrupts man at all times and at all places. Satan makes it impossible for man to defend against this corruption and makes man helpless to it. Satan makes you accept its thoughts, its viewpoints and the evil things that come from it in situations where you are unwitting and when you have no recognition of what’s happening to you. People fully accept these things and take no exception to them. They cherish and hold these things like a treasure, they let these things manipulate them and toy with them, and this is how Satan’s corruption of man becomes deeper and deeper.”

“‘Deception and paralysis’ is that Satan makes up some sweet-sounding statements and ideas that are in concert with people’s conceptions to make it seem as though it is taking people’s flesh into consideration or thinking about their lives and futures, when actually it is just to fool you. It then paralyzes you so that you do not know what is right and what is wrong, so that you are unwittingly tricked and thereby come under its control.” God’s words completely reveal the root cause of how phubbers came into being. This is nothing but a means and method for Satan to deceive and paralyze people! Satan’s mischief is behind the obstinacy of phubbers. Satan often uses social trends to confuse, bind, and numb people, and induce them into debauchery and degeneracy. These evil things occupy people’s minds and trap them deeply and inextricably, such as online games, which we think of as a fashion, but with which we can become obsessed to the point that we lose self-control, both old and young, men and women. Online love destroys many originally happy, stable families. Countless housewives are addicted to online shopping. They immediately fall in love with what they see and buy it, which in turn greatly stimulates people’s extravagant desires, making us unable to stop until we possess things. Our thoughts, morality, insight, and reason are seriously damaged by all these things. The Internet Age given rise to by Satan has become a trend. The whole world has been enveloped by Satan’s evil trends, and we all accept, grasp, and use these things of Satan as positive things. Once we begin following worldly trends and the evil airs of Satan, our lives are naturally impacted. These things have inundated everyone’s hearts, from unacceptance at the start to taking it for granted today, and now our hearts have completely acquiesced. Especially those born in the 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s are hooked on the internet as if it was opium. These things are already firmly in control of our thoughts, and they make it impossible for us to extricate ourselves. The Satan’s deception and temptations are the real reason that phubbers are produced and spread. This kind of evil trend is unquestionably a poison by which we are slowly killing ourselves. One step at a time, it leads us to the abyss and to death.

Only God is concerned for and loves mankind, and without God’s protection and care, we can never escape being toyed with and harmed by Satan, and finally being swallowed up against our will by tide after tide of evil. Just as God’s word says, “I am mankind’s only salvation. I am mankind’s only hope and, even more, I am He on whom the existence of all mankind rests. Without Me, mankind will immediately come to a complete standstill. Without Me, mankind will suffer catastrophe and be trodden down by all manner of ghosts, even though no one takes heed of Me.” Mankind was created by God, and God gives mankind sunshine, air, food, and all the other things that mankind needs to survive. At the same time, God has been working among people, speaking to provide for people, saving people, and teaching people how to live, how to behave, how to worship God, and many other aspects of the truth in the hope that we can accept everything from God, so that we mankind can dwell and live normally on the earth, live out a true human likeness, and live out lives blessed by God. God says: “I urge the people of all nations, countries, and even industries to listen to the voice of God, to behold the work of God, to pay attention to the fate of mankind, thus making God the most holy, the most honorable, the highest, and the only object of worship among mankind, and allowing the whole of mankind to live under the blessing of God, just as the descendants of Abraham lived under the promise of Jehovah, and just as Adam and Eve, who were originally made by God, lived in the Garden of Eden.” God cares for us mankind, who He personally created, and is concerned about us mankind trampled upon by Satan. He hopes that the lost can become aware of their confusion and return, and come before Him and accept His salvation as soon as possible.

Anti-demon Saga

This is a fan translation of the 2016 chapters of DENGANG’s Monkey King: Hero is Back fan comics. Please support DENGANG on weibo, three of his Hero is Back comics can be purchased here and here, as well as heaps of his art, prints, phones cases and other products. If you click on the links (in the link, lol), it’ll redirect to Taobao.

Please read bubbles and panels right-to-left (To follow the speech bubbles, read up-down from the right.)

Chapter 1

A monk opens to the door to a cottage on a rainy day.

Thugs: “En?”

“Venerable Master, what are you doing so late in the night?”

“Is the Master wanting to stop an injustice by saving this girl?”

Monk: “No…”

“I am here to save you guys…”

Thugs: “Ol’ Seven, go check the merchandise.”

“Hey Boss, can’t you see she’s still right there?”

Captured woman: “Venerable Master, you are headed west, I am headed east; from the very beginning, the well water will never impede upon the water in the river — why must you make such a scene and ruin my good work?”

‘Captured’ woman: “Do you really think I’m scared you?”

Thugs: “She was fucking-actually a demon this entire time!”

“Cut it down!”

(Green demon takes down thugs, pulls out spines.)

(Green demon goes in to kill the monk.)

Monk: “This monk has never said…

“That I…

…

“Had come alone…”

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong (Black bubbles): “Every time — you always have to waste your breath and run your mouth chit chatting, why must you humour these kinds of ants?”

Sun Wukong: “Jiang— ehem…Monk. These wild thugs, how should they be punished?”

Jiang Liu’er: “Let’s go. In these harsh times, (let us hope they can sort themselves out?).”

“Just then when you ascended from the sky, wasn’t that a little too amazing?”

“In this story I’m the main character, ok?”

Sun Wukong: “Sucker.”

End.

Author Notes: This is my first time drawing longer stories, the art style is a bit harsh. I’m not even sure if I can keep it up. This is to whet your appetite (literal - spice up your eyes?) I will kneel/bow now.

———

Chapter 2

Jiang Liu’er on horse. The horse is clearly one morphed from a dragon.

Jiang Liu’er: “Xiao Bai, I’ll go and get us some food. You wait outside the village for me.”

“Hm. I know. On the off-chance a stranger sees you, it won’t be good if you scare them off.”

Xiao Bai, White Dragon Horse (Black bubbles): “Master. There are dark enemies in this place, and they are heavy. It does not feel like a place where the living reside. It’s better to be careful.”

(Jiang Liu’er goes off with Lantern.)

“Mas…ter…”

Little girl: “Please…wait…”

“Master. Pleas slow down.”

(A young, blind girl tugs on Jiang Liu’er’s robes.)

Little girl: “Master, we’ve gotten off on the wrong foot, you misunderstand. Please hear me speak.”

Jiang Liu’er (white bubble): “Really. You think you can trick this monk just like this? By tying yourself to this dying girl’s body? What are your intentions?”

Little girl: “Please help me. I beg of you, take me out of this village. This place is so full dangers. We should leave immediately.”

Ghost in little girl’s body: “Us mother and daughter have had it very harsh. My daughter was so unfortunate to lose her sight. But I could not sustain our livelihoods by being a beggar. These starved, desperate villagers, starved for years, singled me out as an outsider, and cut me down to share my flesh between them…”

“My grudge saw me take form as a spirit tied to my daughter’s body. I protect her from harm. But the villagers — they’ve changed and become even more virulent, and I am losing strength. Soon I will be nothing but dust and smoke and my daughter will be hungry and cold for the rest of her days. She will learn to resent even with the short time she has left in this world…”

“Venerable Master, please see with the kindness and compassion in your heart. Please save my daughter — leave quickly, or the villagers will discover you…”

Cannibals: “Flesh…”

“Flesh…there’s fresh flesh to eat here…”

“Kill…eat flesh…”

“Kill…kill them all, and then we eat tonight…kill…kill…”

Ghost Mum: “Great Master, take my daughter away from here! Even if I turn to flying dust and dissipating smoke, I will still kill these animals!”

Jiang Liu’er: “There’s no use. You can’t stop them. They can’t see you, and you shouldn’t add to your sins. Do you really not wish to reincarnate?”

Ghost Mum, dissipating: “Esteemed…Venerable Master, then you take my daughter and go. I’ll disappear now — you have to hold up, alright?”

“Mas…”

Jiang Liu’er, out of breath: “Hah…Hah…how great…I can’t run anymore…but…”

“Hah…White…”

“Dragon.”

(White horse looms out.)

(An explosion-like scene, White Horse morphs into a towering dragon, red eyes shining and looking down on Jiang Liu’er.)

Jiang Liu’er: “Xiao Bai. You hungry? I bought the food back to you.”

Xiao Bai, slithered close to Jiang Liu’er, red eye larger than Jiang Liu’er’s entire head: “Master…These villagers are living…”

Jiang Liu’er: “They’re live people?”

“Oh. Oh. I couldn’t tell.”

Sun Wukong, lounging on a tree: “Little Monk. You really favour Xiao Bai, don’t you? Under these pretty circumstances when would you ever stop to think of me?”

Jiang Liu’er: “I was just worried that you’ll go ahead and break the sky again…”

Sun Wukong: “What about this silly girl, Sa Yatou? You going to keep her with you on your travels?”

Jiang Liu’er: “Sa Yatou…”

End chapter

Author’s notes: Chapter 2 I did a long while after chapter 1. The style is still experimental and fumbly. Though it’s more rigorous/strict than before.

———

Chapter 3

Jiang Liu’er leading Sa Yatou on the white dragon horse.

Sa Yatou: “Hungry.”

Jiang Liu’er: “You’re hungry?”

*horse neigh*

(Wukong waves a peach above Sa Yatou.)

*Sniff, sniff*

Sun Wukong: “Want to eat?”

Sa Yatou: “Uhuh.”

Sun Wukong: “Open your mouth…”

(Wukong is holding a magical pill.)

Jiang Liu’er: “Hey!!! Don’t you spoil her before lunchtime!”

(Sa Yatou eats whatever Wukong gave her like a rebel.) “What the heck did you give her to eat?!”

“Sa Yatou!! Stop eating it, spit it out quick!!!”

Jiang Liu’er: “Your eyes…”

Sa Yatou: “Ah….?”

“!!!”

Sa Yatou, able to see for the first time (No bubble): ‘Monk…Monk…’

Jiang Liu’er (No bubble): ‘Hahah…yeah…’

Sun Wukong with scarf: “Tch…”

In Heaven. One of the disciples of Taishang Laojun/ Laozi: “Old General, Old General, just then when I was counting the celestial pills, I counted one missing.”

End Chapter.

Author’s Notes: My intentions were to make short stories on daily life. And I was determined to get this image out after watching Monkey King: Hero is Back… (shamelessly warms my heart).

———

Chapter 4

(Translator Note: There’s a change in this chapter and you now have to read panels and bubbles from Left to Right. Like normal/ not in manga format.)

The crew is travelling and flies circle around Jiang Liu’er’s head.

*Sniff, sniff.*

Sun Wukong: “Oi…Little Monk! Are you still not going to take her for a bath?! She stinks!!”

Jiang Liu’er over image of Sa Yatou: “I’m a monk here. How can I bathe with a female child?”

Sun Wukong: “And here, I’m a monkey.”

Jiang Liu’er: “Then who else is there…”

(White horse, Xiao Bai, stands majestically.)

Jiang Liu’er: “Wait…”

Sa Yatou: “Xiao Bai…Xiao Bai!”

(Xiao Bai huffs.)

Xiao Bai: “C’mon then. Let’s go bathe.”

Sa Yatou (No bubble, text over head): ‘Xiao Bai is so pretty…”

Xiao Bai: ‘Haha…”

Thug: “Big Brother, someone’s bathing there.”

Other Thug: “Heh heh…looks like it’s a beautiful woman…”

Xiao Bai: “Let’s play some hide and seek…would you like that? Close your eyes now.”

Sa Yatou: “Ok.”

“One…

“Two…”

End.

Author’s Notes: After I finalised the ‘cool’ version of Xiao Bai the White Dragon Horse, the monk never rides her again. (After this chapter may everybody please supervise. This is now an official comic/ manhua.)

———

Chapter 5

(Note: Continue reading from Left to Right.)

(Name of cave next to demon which I have trouble reading sorry.)

Demon (black bubble): “There’s…there’s people coming…”

“My King — they’re coming! My—”

Demon King: “Who’s coming?”

Demon subordinate: “It’s…a monk…just…just two humans…”

Demon King: “Hahah…Since that monkey isn’t here…”

(Skulls) “Even if Heaven itself tries to stop me…”

“The monk still dies…”

(i.e The Demon King wants to eat Jiang Liu’er because legend says eating his flesh would make you immortal.)

‘Ahchoo…!’

Xiao Bai: “Even idiots can get a cold?”

Sa Yatou: “Is the monk done yet??”

(Jiang Liu’er is working on something.)

Jiang Liu’er: “Er…just wait of nightfall, then it’ll be finished…”

Sa Yatou: “Oh…ok then…”

Demon King: “Tonight you two will be the gourmet food of yours truly, the King…”

“Do you want to be eaten from the head first or the feet?”

Demon subordinate: “My…My King… (??idek sorry)”

Demon King: “Huh?”

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie stare down the demons.

Demon subordinate: “My Great King…is asking youse…oi.”

(King sweat drops, a nervous wreck.)

(Sa Yatou, Xiao Bai and Jiang Liu’er watch the paper lantern that Jiang Liu’er made. The lantern reads ‘buddhism’ or ‘buddha.’)

Sa Yatou: “Wah! <3”

Jiang Liu’er: “It’s so silent…it’s pretty, right?”

Jiang Liu’er: *Very pleased with himself for his one lantern.*

Xiao Bai: “Look over there, quick.”

Jiang Liu’er: ‘?!!’

Zhu Bajie (Pigsy): Now make your Pig Elder another hundred lanterns…or (?) you’ll regret it.

End.

Author’s Notes: I’m not great doing long serious topics (actually I can’t stop my own silliness from getting into it…oh, it’s my fun personality.)

———

Chapter 6

*Spin…spin…*

Swordsman: “There’s a strong smell of demon around here. Disciple, choose a good house.”

Disciple child: “Then let’s stay in this one. Let’s see if this time…there’s really people here…!!”

Disciple child knocks on door: “Anybody home?”

Behind door: “Coming…”

Disciple child: “Excuse me, but may I ask if the homeowner has seen any strange guests?”

Behind door: “……..Us lot are temporary guests here…”

Swordsman, startled: “En?!!!”

“The stench of demon is rife!”

Swordsman, a Taoist exorcist, chants: ….. (Very archaic language. Not sure which direction it’s supposed to be read in so can’t translate…forgive me…it’s Mumbo Jumbo…)

“Command!”

Talismans circle the Swordsman as he uses his technique: ‘Demon-ridding seal!’

Disciple child: “Heavens!…He’s using so many seals…Does Master not want to live through the next half year? [Because we’ll be out of seals.]

(Inside the house, the three figures loom with seals stuck everywhere.)

Zhu Bajie: You bastard! If you want to seal demons then seal your damn demons — what’s the meaning of this?!!”

(On Baijie’s necklace is the word “Gao,” the surname of his wife and the house he briefly married into before the journey to the west.)

Xiao Bai: ‘So noisy…’

Swordsman (right bubble): “Such an immensely strong pig demon…Heads up for my magical artefact…!”

“Arggh!!”

Zhu Bajie (left bubble): “Motherfucker…this Old Pig is going to waste you…!”

(Left to right)

Jiang Liu’er: “This was all a great misunderstanding, Taoist master, I ask for your forgiveness.”

Swordsman/ Taoist master: “Venerable Master, your words are too heavy. It was this one that was at fault.”

Disciple child: “Master…you’re bleeding…” [insinuating he actually fought Bajie? XD]

End.

Author’s Notes: You didn’t guess wrong if you recognised the swordsman was based on 燕赤霞, Yan Chixia, a character I adored as a kid. (If you don’t know it, check out 倩女幽魂, Qiànnǚ yōuhún/ ghost story.)

Translator notes: I haven’t seen that at all^ it must be good though.

Chapter 7

(Read right to left, up-down.)

Beyond the window is a person, their face white, their body fiery red, smiling inwardly.

(I’m sorry there’s too many words I don’t recognise so I won’t be able to translate this intro.)

Swordsman: “By the promise of Heaven and Earth…(?)…”

“Explode.”

“Watch me flagrantly spill blood today — heh!”

Word above the surprised demons: *scared*

Disciple child: “Master…be careful…that’s…”

Swordsman: “Haha…they must be frightened by my great Taoist powers.”

(The Ruyi Jingou Bang, wreathed in clouds, towering high above the atmosphere like a colossus, falls.)

Disciple child: “C’mon now…let’s go get our money…[for ridding the demons.]”

Swordsman: “Wh—what the heck?”

End.

Author Notes: I originally wanted to have the Great Sage have a little go, but then I thought — these are just a couple of small fry. Not nearly enough for the Great Sage to pick his teeth with.

Chapter 8

(Name Xiao ‘Yu’ as in ‘jade.’)

Nine-tailed fox: “Xiao Yu, is it really worth doing this for a man? Just because he helped you on one instance.”

Two-tailed fox, Xiao Yu: “Older Sister, I understand. But — this debt I owe is something I must pay back.”

“I cannot help that I have no other powers, I’ve only this body of blood and bone I can rely on to pay the debt. Please, sister, understand.”

“That year I was captured by hunters, if it wasn’t for him, I would have long been skinned and sold off to the market.”

(She has the sister cut off one of her tails.)

Xiao Yu: “Up until today I’ve endured misfortune and hardship!”

*Sigh.*

“This is the only way I can pay back the kindness shown to me.”

Nine-tailed fox, sister: “But even if you have a thousand tails, that won’t help you gain people’s trust…”

Xiao Yu: “Ah.”

Daughter: “Mother, I’m back!!”

Mother: “I told you to go up the mountain and get (?), why are you back so late?”

Daughter: “It’s…because the mountain path is hard to walk.”

Mother: “Why is the wife of the man in the mountains so pompous? Look at you — you go up the mountain once and come back looking like this. No wonder it’s been all this time and you don’t have a single child.”

“Ugh! But at least this luck you’re having is good. Every time you go up there you’re just in time to bump into this white fox…(?)”

Xiao Yu: “Is…may I ask…”

Jiang Liu’er: “Hello, Madams, may I ask if you may spare us some food?”

End Chapter.

Author Notes: It’s a cameo of ‘Liaozhai fox goddess showing gratitude’ story. But the monk is chucked into the chaos.

Translator Notes: In chapter 9 this ‘Mother’ is suddenly changed to a Grandmother and idek?? So I’m going to keep it as ‘Mother.’

———

Chapter 9

(Read panels right to left again, lol).

Jiang Liu’er: “This humble monk hails from the Eastern Mainlan—”

The Mother: “—Monk, in these kinds of times how are we supposed to have spare food for you?”

Jiang Liu’er: “……”

Mother: “And speaking of, since when did buddhist monks harbour small girls and take them running all over the world? Or are you a kidnapper? A criminal?!”

Jiang Liu’er: “If I am, then at least let me get this child a bite to eat.”

Mother: “I already said — there’s no food in the house we can spare. Hurry up and leave, do you hear…”

Mother: “Xiao Yu!! What are you doing?! Get these people out of here already…”

(Daughter bobbing to talk to Sa Yatou.)

Daughter: “You hungry?”

Sa Yatou: “Uhuh.”

Daughter: “…But this Venerable Monk and poor little girl look in need…”

Mother: “You failed housewife!! Already married for half a year and still can’t conceive a child and now look — I don’t know where you learned to lure this wild man to the house…a;lsdkfja;ldskfj…”

(Jiang Liu’er’s poker face.)

(Sa Yatou.)

Voice: “Stupid old hag! This mistress cannot stomach your hullabaloo taking up half the damned day! I see that you must be about done with your life!”

(Daughter, shocked!!)

Mother: “You little brat!! What did you say?!”

(White Dragon Horse, Xiao Bai, flies off of Sa Yatou’s shoulder, morphing back into her human form while rolling up her sleeves for a fight.)

Xiao Bai: “If this mistress doesn’t break your mouth today I’ll—!! Sa Yatou, stand back! Very Far! Don’t get splashed by blood…”

Now-one-tailed fox, Xiao Yu: “You are not to touch my household!!”

Xiao Bai, dragon form: “The likes of a small fox dares to stand in my way…”

Xiao Yu: “I dare not. But these people have been kind to me and I owe them a debt. I beg you, great goddess, to spare them. I’m willing to give my life.”

Jiang Liu’er: “……..”

Jiang Liu’er: “I don’t really want to butt-in to your private affairs, but perhaps…you should consider looking after the ‘point’ of your conversation…”

Xiao Yu: ?! “Grandma!!”

Mother, overwhelmed: “Demons…”

Daughter: “Xiao Yu! What’s wrong with my mother here?!”

Mother: “Shut it. You unfilial child, if it weren’t for Xiao Yu your mother would have gone to see the King of the Underworld. After today if you dare be anything but good to Xiao Yu…I’ll…I’ll axe you alive…”

Daughter: “Ok…Mother…”

End.

Author Notes: The plot ran away from me. Don’t know how I ended up with cranky mother-in-law, took a while for me to come around.

Chapter 10

(Read left to right here…it keeps changing between chapters lol.)

(Gods of Death, collectors of spirits to the Underworld who work for its King, Yenwan.)

Black death god: “Sir Seventh…lately…our overtime work has gotten extensive…Once we finish up this round, let’s go drink.”

White death god, Sir Seventh: “Aye…the time is right. Let’s hurry up and finish up.”

Sa Yatou: “zzZZ.”

White death god: “Oh, it’s a little girl. How sad…look how young this one is…”

(Top right corner, White death god reads the death register.)

White death god: “En?! According to the registry…this girl should have died months ago…”

Black death god: “That’s alright.”

“Let’s take her spirit and then talk.”

Black death god: “Your life-force has been all used up. Come with us now…”

White death god: “Don’t be afraid, little girl. We’re ghost collectors. You need to come with us.”

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong: “We’re not about to go anywhere.”

Black death god: “Eh?…How dare you…you have the audacity to hinder the Underworld Constabulary?”

Sun Wukong: “You two ghost officers have such a flimsy memory.”

“I wonder if Ol’ King of the Underworld still remembers This Old Sun…”

Death gods: “…Great…Great Sage…”

Word next to Sun Wukong: “Fuck off.”

King of the Underworld: “You two idiots, you’re to leave that monkey alone, far, far away!”

Death gods: “Yes…yes…”

King of the Underworld: “…nearly scared me to death…”

End.

(Translator note - This part is alluding to Sun Wukong’s exploits before he upturned heaven. He went to the underworld and turned everything upside down there too — including wiping his name off the death registry. So he wrecked the Underworld once. Not something the King would forget hahaha.)

Author Notes: King of the Underworld is here to be shy and cute. Not sure if he’ll appear again after this~~

———

Chapter 11

(This chapter heavily alludes to another chinese folklore: The Cowherd and Weaver girl, or Niulang Zhinü. Basically it’s a story about forbidden love — Cowherd and Weaver girl loved each other but were not allowed to be together. Weaver girl’s mother banished them to opposite sides of the silver river. But the birds began to pity them, so once a year and only once a year the birds fly and form a bridge over the river to reunite the lovers. They spend one day together before they must part again until the next year. Bittersweet tragedy.)

(Read right to left again please.)

Jiang Liu’er: “Is it pretty? It’s better than the lanterns we put up.”

Sa Yatou: “Uhuh! But there aren’t as many as the ones we put up…”

Festival goer: “Baby, let’s buy you this cloth doll, yeah?”

Child: “Ok Mother! I want to buy a Weaver girl doll!”

(Image of silhouettes of Sa Yatou on Jiang Liu’er’s shoulder and the mother holding her child’s hand.)

Child: “Mother dear…Do Cowherd and Weaver girl really only get to see each other once a year? I wish I could see how they meet….”

Festival mother: “Silly child…We’re but mortals. How can we possibly see that…”

(Sa Yatou.)

Jiang Liu’er: “What’s wrong? Sa Yatou…are you thinking about your Mom?”

Sa Yatou: “N…No…”

Jiang Liu’er: “I’m sorry…this I truly cannot help you with…but……”

(Jiang Liu’er turns his head.)

Jiang Liu’er: “I can give you my personal protective charm. It has intense super powers…I’d say, maybe it can help you grant your wishes.”

“Though it is a bit old…Want it?”

Sa Yatou, hands up: “I want it!”

Sa Yatou: “I really just wanted to have Mom be with me for one more festival.”

“Just one more would have been good…”

(Great Sage Equal to Heaven plushie.)

(Epilogue: silhouettes of Cowherd, Weaver girl, Sa Yatou, Sa Yatou’s Mom’s ghost and Sun Wukong all standing on the bridge made of birds.)

Sa Yatou: “Mum! Look…it’s really the Cowherd and Weaver girl!”

Ghost Mum: “Great Sage…is this really ok?”

Sun Wukong, to the lovers: “Don’t mind us. You two continue.”

Weaver girl: “These people are so annoying…We only get to meet once and year!”

Cowherd: “Shh!…Please be more quiet. That monkey is someone even my father has to make an exception for.

King of the Underworld: “What the hell are you doing on the job?!!! Can’t even keep an eye on a ghost?!!!”

Death gods: “….But you said to keep far, far away from that…monkey…”

End.

Author notes: This one about Hero is Back is an official commission (?the translator thinks?) Thank you for the official support!

Chapter 12

(Translator note: This one takes place in the middle of a well known story in Journey to the West — the infamous White Bone Demon arc. White Bone Demon is vicious and sly and plots a way to eat Tang Monk by getting rid of Sun Wukong. She first turns into a beautiful young lady to get cosy next to Tang Monk and co. But Sun Wukong has this fiery eye technique that sees through disguises. So he of course sees through the facade and immediately ‘kills’ the demon.

(But the demon escapes and leaves a shell of a human body for Tang Monk to get extremely angry over. Because, to his human eyes, Sun Wukong just straight murdered a nice lady. Sun Wukong’s disciple brothers don’t have the ability to see through disguises either. They all think he’s guilty. White Bone Demon turns into two more people and this repeats. On the third kill, Tang Monk punishes Sun Wukong and then forces him to leave. Forever.

(White Bone Demon then gets her white, bony fingers on Tang Monk. The DENGANG version doesn’t play out or end the same way. But the ‘twist’ really relies on knowledge of the original lol.)

Demon lackey: “Mistress. The Tang Monk has been captured as you ordered.”

White Bone Demon: “So you’re saying that the monk really disowned the monkey? Hahaha.”

Lackey: “Mistress is cunning. That monkey has already been driven away back to Flower-fruit Mountain. It is unknown where Tang Monk’s other two disciples are.”

White Bone Demon: “Let me see myself. Have a look-see at this Tang Dynasty monk.”

(White Bone Demon looks over her shoulder, glancing at the painting of a beautiful woman.)

(Image of Jiang Liu’er.)

White Bone Demon: “Venerable Master. You’ll have to excuse me. This young woman has not shown you a proper welcome. Please do not fault me.”

“About my three transformations to play the monkey. What does the Venerable Master think of my little show, pray tell?”

White Bone Demon, human face: “I originally thought that you were hopeless. I didn’t want the Venerable Master to visit like this.” (Idek either. Best I could do for this line I don’t get, sorry.)

Jiang Liu’er: “On your selfish whims, you’ve ravished villages and sowed misery, murdering countless innocents. All of the surrounding villages have been maimed by your doing.”

White Bone Demon: “Oh Venerable Master, those words are too serious. This lowly one has only invited the neighbouring villages to be guest here.”

(Bones of the villagers carpet the caverns.)

White Bone Demon: “In just a short moment, when you’re in the Underworld, you can help them find salvation.”

Jiang Liu’er: “You repulsive bastard. You deserve no mercy.”

———

Chapter 13

White Bone Demon: “For many centuries, I’ve always been careful, careful. I’ve waited so patiently for this fortunate chance. All these years, all those villagers’ who were massacred and those who luckily escaped…”

(White Bone Demon’s mouth opens.)

“But now we’re here. It’s all alright now that I have you — flesh that will grant me immortality. I’ll become powerful enough to instantly achieve godhood.”

(White Bone Demon sucks Jiang Liu’er’s life out.)

Jiang Liu’er: “Tch!”

*Headbutt!*

Jiang Liu’er: “You really are pretty tricky. Otherwise we wouldn’t have had to act out this great extravaganza to trick you into revealing your true form.”

White Bone Demon: “What!?”

(The squad arrives.)

Either Sha Wujing (man with crescent blade) or Zhu Bajie (Pigsy): “Repulsive demon. Hurry up and repent. Do you really think monk meat tastes that good? You think we were going to be easy pickings?”

White Bone Demon, falling to her knees: “Venerable Master, please spare me.”

“Great Master, the truth is I am a piteous person. Murdered in cold blood by ruffians. My bones disintegrated. Please, I beg the Venerable Master, under the good grace of Heaven please forgive me this one time.”

Jiang Liu’er: “Amitofo. Sanzai. Sanzai. (There is goodness. There is goodness.)”

Jiang Liu’er: “Wujing. Bajie. Don’t hit her so hard that she shatters.”

———

Chapter 13

Please read right to left.

(Pic of Bajie.)

(Three distinct weapons can be seen beating the crap out of White Bone Demon: White Horse/ Xiao bai’s sword, Bajie’s nine-toothed rake, and Wujing’s crescent blade.)

White Bone Demon, escaping: “This lot of monks are brutal. Nothing like the stories.”

Jiang Liu’er: “Kid, don’t look.”

White Bone Demon: “Fortunate that I still have one more spirit-escaping technique. Otherwise I’d really have been ground into dust by them.”

“It’s time to leave my estate. Mistress I shall sink into the shadows. It’s no matter, sooner or later I’ll get my prize. Heheheheheh.”

Voice, golden eyes: “Oi. You’re thinking too much.”

“But this has been just my luck. My holiday back home was pretty sweet.”

White Bone Demon: “Sun…Sun…Wukong…”

White Bone Demon, running: “This Mistress cannot politely remain.”

Sun Wukong: “Want to run…….”

Zhu Bajie: “That Bimawen, stableboy’s back isn’t he? Hey Monk, didn’t you say he gets a three day holiday?”

Sha Wujing (probably): “Hm, yeah. I thought this time he was going to let us stretch our muscles.”

Silhouette of Erlang Shen: “Got mail…”

Xiao Tian Quan, his dog: <3

(The mail, typical delivery fill-out form etc.)

‘Tang Dynasty Fast Post.’

Person posting: Great Sage Equal to Heaven (Can’t make out words in second line, sorry.)

Province: Boyue Cave (Where Yellow Robe Demon lives, a location where Tang Monk was supposed to be captured thanks to this white bone incident but never happened hahahahah. I guess they went to the next place and found a mail box.)

Receiver: Lord Erlang Zhen Jun (True General) (Other stuff I can’t make out, too pixellated.) Signature: Sun, 孙 Contents of Package: Dog Food. (Insinuating that after they reduced White Bone Demon to bones Sun Wukong mailed her remains out.)

End.

Author Notes: Before when I watched Journey to the West, the two episodes of the White Bone Demon arc I hated. So I changed it~

———

Ending here for now, there’s still like ten or more chapters to go. About the halfway mark. Again, check out the art and comics DENGANG advertises here. He’s also done printed comics for ‘Chinese Paladin 3,’ art for 大唐魂/ Great Tang Ghost.

Also check out 老师身边的杰诺斯 ‘The Genos at Teacher’s Side’ account that logs all of DENGANG’s work -- right here.
