Much ado about Rocco
Tumblr media
It's easy as humans to get so caught up in rumors/innuendo that we lose sight of what's in front of our faces.
Around the time of the GQ MOTY event I got a lot of asks from people who were concerned, anxious, angry, outraged, etc. about Rocco Liu and GQ, and the supposed bad blood between him and GG, and between GQ and GG, and who were concerned to see DD hanging out with him (and there was a fair amount of homophobia toward Rocco in all of this, which was troubling).
I repeatedly said I didn't see any reason to believe there was actual bad blood there, and I didn't think the rumors/interpretations that were circulating held any credibility. I repeatedly pointed out that there was no way DD was going to get cozy with a GG anti. I dealt with backlash and hate mail from BXG about it at the time.
Well, here we are now with GG collaborating with GQ/Rocco, so I hope that can put the entire matter to rest.
I also hope that we can all (myself included) take this as a lesson to reflect on our biases and our gullibility regarding gossip, and hopefully next time something like this comes up, approach it with a calmer, more skeptical mind.
My previous posts on this topic:
Was Rocco creeping on DD?

Round 2 with LHK and bxg interactions. If you need catching up, I initially talked about it here. Again, i’m not promoting asking their co stars for clues about szd. This is for archiving purpose only. I understand that most (if not all) of them have only known LHK because of Untamed and continue to have a good impression of him due to that & his friendly relationship with the boys. So they couldn’t stop the association.
On his video where he wore blue, someone commented that if bjyx is still there, if he can wear a watch on his left wrist. and well, he does it. another coincidence. ✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media
another one asking do you remember this photo with the 3 of them in the waiting room. he doesn’t say anything controversial in this, just described what was going on. basically saying he and wyb were playing two different games and zz was over there picking his nails. if any, i guess people who ask this are in nostalgia mode and hoped that maybe LHK will give a new perspective on certain moments.

an example of that untamed centric question below:
Second brother, I really like Chen Qingling, what should I do if I can’t get out of the trap?
When your legs feel numb, just stamp your feet and keep squatting!

Do you do male reader?
Yes, I do both genders, as I normally write in third person so it's easy to write for both perspectives!
HOWEVER: I don't really do MxM smut writings, I do fluffs and gentle oneshots from time to time, but I never tried writing smut from a male person.
Since I've never done so, I think it might be hard for me, a female writer, to try and write a male perspective in intimate situations.
Same goes for GxG, but I do BxG and such. I think over time I may learn how to write smut for same gender couples, but for right now I am only writing BxG when it comes to smut.
If you are interested just send me the character name from the anime and a plot line! (If you have an even more specific idea you would like me to write just let me know!!)

more bjyx musings
i wanted to keep a list of some of the most notable cpn for me so far. also wrote down some other thoughts about the cp and fandom. nothing really new here, just thinking more about what other turtles have already touched on.
fanfiction only. not meant to be taken seriously.
favorite cpn and other moments that make me go 🤨
ggdd are full of endless mysteries. i'm sure there's more lore i'm forgetting or haven't read about yet, but i wanted to compile some of the things that stick out to me the most.
in no particular order, just whatever comes to mind first
"old cow eats young grass" - not gonna lie, this one really made me go 'HUH?'. i came across this before i was even convinced about them and it just sounded so sus to me. and gg apparently responded with something like "see if you get your brake pads fixed now" which, again, sounds sus.
"wechat for men" - like. what else am i supposed to think. dd said it was just for work, but he didn't seem to be defensive about the implication of "for men". it's a little sus to me idk. (sidenote: i don't know how the cast especially ggdd feel about the unofficial cql bts. i'm under the assumption that they were aware they were being filmed at work and that the footage might be released someday)
handwriting cpn - this is one of the most convincing candies to me since gg started to sign autographs with similar characters as the ones used in the fake rumor post. either it's blaringly obvious or just a crazy coincidence.
versace on the floor performance and wardrobe - dd!! 🔥 the performance was so sensual and sweet (but also 🫣) to watch through a bxg lens. the part in the choreography where he was dancing with someone, i think he specifically made it look like he was dancing with someone taller. of course i don't actually know his thought process behind that but as a clown, i imagine he was thinking of gg. i also assume he had control over his outfit because that one was a little too similar to pieces gg had worn before.
gg and team shutting down the st shipping him with wzc but not the bjyx ones - i've seen the bjyx st being mentioned ever since i started reading about all of this. i'm not familiar with that site but i assume a st is like a group or tag that people can join/follow. i didn't know that celebrities had the power to shut those things down, but then i read about gg/his team closing the xz/wzc st. it's curious that they closed one but left the other alone. it's possible they thought it'd be fine to let the bjyx st slide since gg and dd actually played partners (though censored) for a drama and they're the more popular cp. but that show's been over for years. it would've been understandable if they closed it at some point, especially during 227, but it survived even that.
"i'm in love with a lonely star" - gg has such a nice voice and this lyric change was so sweet. for me it just feels too deliberate, too specific to be a mistake, so i think it was a conscious choice on his part. it would be a very sweet dedication for dd, in a way that's subtle unless you think/know they're together.
the continued existence of the cp
gg's insights and how they may relate to his relationship with dd - gg has shared some perspectives on love and relationships. while he was talking about it in the context of the roles he was playing, it's possible that some of his acting choices reflect how he thinks irl. when talking about an age gap in a relationship, he said something along the lines of how those two people can enrich each other's lives with something that the other person lacks. this could also relate to how he previously described dd: as someone who takes risks and does things outside the box. i think gg admires that about dd and is inspired by him even though he's younger. gg has also mentioned that loving means being sad when you're apart from your lover, which i think gives insight into how intensely he views love. he wouldn't want to be in a half-hearted relationship.
"xz" on one of dd's panther logos - most people cpn the panther as gg's work. i already believe this, but the one thing that really sells it for me is the animation of the recent logo where "xz" seems to be obvious. could be yet another coincidence, but i'm personally convinced.
gg and dd's silence about the bxg fandom is loud. although it seems a little less active now compared to past years, there are still a good number of people talking about it. in other words, the cp and fandom are still alive.
as far as i know, they have denied rumors of being linked to other people in the past, so why would they stay silent about this? i guess it's some sort of paradox.
say something = acknowledge that there's something to talk about, possibly spark the interest of those who didn't know or care about it in the first place
not say anything = give the impression that you don't mind the speculations, allowing people to continue doing it, possibly risking your reputation or career if a certain rumor (true or not) becomes too popular
i try to make sense of it without my bjyxszd glasses, from the perspective of someone who doesn't read into their relationship, and isn't under the impression that they are or were ever romantically involved.
on one hand, they don't need to say anything about this ship because it's between two men - OF COURSE they're not actually dating. it's just a silly delusion that excites some fans. it's not worth their time to address this topic because it's just "common sense" (see: heteronormativity). there's no way these two are actually in a romantic relationship and it would be ridiculous to think they are.
but staying silent about it and letting fans run wild with their speculations - shouldn't they at least have some concern? being linked like this to a man can harm their reputation. there are going to be people who think the rumors or fanfiction are real. their privacy might be compromised because of some overeager people who want answers.
even if shippers aren't taken too seriously, wouldn't it be better to just terminate this kind of headache once and for all? they have the power to. why bother letting this kind of speculation continue and possibly risking your image and privacy?
it really doesn't make sense to me unless i consider the possibility that they're actually together. but okay, let's continue putting that aside for now.
the fact is that they have not actively spoken up or done anything against the cp/fans. some reasons i can think of:
they don't care. zero fucks about this topic
they don't bother to because it doesn't impact them enough to warrant any action at this point
they don't want or can't be bothered to interfere with fans' activities, regardless of how they feel about it
they would rather not be involved with it at all and bring it any attention
they don't mind, or maybe even like, the continued existence of the cp and fandom
some of these reasons probably have some overlap, but i'm really trying to look at different angles here.
it's hard for me to believe that being shipped has not bothered them at all. even though they're used to public attention, i'm sure people speculating about their personal and/or love life can be exhausting and uncomfortable at times. maybe it wouldn't affect them at all if turtles were only a small group who talk about the cp privately, but obviously that's not the case. there are also people out there who have no regard for boundaries. there's no guarantee that saying or doing anything against the fandom will get all stalkers to leave them alone, but it will send a clear message about where they stand, and i'd like to think that most fans will respect that.
however they feel about the cp/fandom, i guess their silence about it means that they don't think they have much to gain by addressing it or shutting it down.
but then there's another question: how come people are still finding candies from their recent activities?
this one is tricky, because the candies may or may not be 'real'. it's very possible that gg and dd's activities have no secret meaning behind them and that bxg are just seeing things that aren't actually there. but turtles still being able to interpret some of their activities as candy up to this day is frankly quite suspicious. do they not have a clue about any of the cpn? it's not like fans talk about these things in secret. they could easily avoid doing some of the more blatant things such as certain kadian or similarities (clothes, jewelry, posts, etc). it's the frequency of the candies that's sus to me, especially since these two haven't even publicly interacted in a while.
so... this brings us back to the original question: why have they not done anything to break the cp and it's fandom once and for all? why have they allowed it to continue until now?
as is the life of a cpf, i doubt we will truly ever get answers. it's nice to think that they're intentionally dropping candies for us because we get it. if they're a real couple, it must be nice to share a secret language with a group of people who support their relationship even though they can't be together publicly. whatever the reason, i can only hope that they're getting something good out of bxgs still being here. i hope it's truly worth it for them to allow the fandom to keep going despite all the possible risks for them.
as a fan, i don't want to take this for granted. i wish them happiness even if i can't know everything about their lives. hopefully, other people can be respectful as well.

Confessions of a BXG Blogger
Thoughts for today...
I’m a closet blogger.  I’ve been blogging a quite some time, but just recently I’ve started this blog totally dedicated to my two favorite c-ent people:  Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo. And yes, BJYXSZD.  
I’ve told no one about this.  I’ve invited friends and family to my other blog sites, but not this.  I think I’ve just realized why I am a secret blogger. All of the people who like or follow my blog have done so because they are really interested in what I write. No one is following me out of obligation. The feedback I get have been offered to me out of a genuine appreciation for what I am doing. That has been my goal all along, to reach people, share my interest, and hopefully have a positive impact in some small way. So, if you are reading this, thank you for your interest and support. It means a lot.
I’m not sure how people around me will react to me being a BXG.  Of all the demographics, I would say I am NOT a “typical” fan due to my age.  I suspect most fan are between 20-30′s age, while I have been around for many moons. I see comments where people are still juggling university exams.  Don’t get me wrong, I have fond memories of my uni-days, but these days it’s about getting my latest apps published for work, focusing on family life, and working toward a better next chapter. 
My friends and family are not BXGs.  They don’t subscribe to watching 50+ episode drama. Nor do they like to hear painfully the melodic pieces from the OST while I play the piano. My significant other and I are of two difference race with two different languages, so there you go. My friends cannot understand how I love to talk about these two when there are so much better actors.  And to be honest, I cannot explain to myself why I am here.  Nonetheless, I am.  From this perspective, I remember, WYB saying that “love is like that”.  It truly is, you cannot explain.
I love being a BXG. I am not consider a conservative person, not by conventional means.  Known as someone who doesn’t “toe the line”, I have made unpopular choices when it comes relationships.  This fandom has come easy for me, being BXG is easy.  It’s all the back end stuff that is hard to digest.  Antis, fan wars, propaganda, politics aside, I got to believe this must be hard the real people living this life.  I am after all, just a fan.  
I am glad to have found the BXG bloggers here on tumblr.  You all have given me a community, a place to voice, to share, to learn. BXGs UNITED.
And here’s to one of many reasons why I love these two: even though DD ratted GG on just finishing a chocolaty bar when he fervently denies eating snacks, he still gets the biggest smile and air hug. 💚💖
What’s next.

I've seen so many sol0 fans or just people that have watched cql and cares for the cast, talking about how they feel that bjyx is something one sided and unrequited. some comments about how xz (in the later fan meetings) is kinda just patiently indulging yb but clearly was not v happy about it. Sometimes I do think xz is more reserved and seems to try to "tame" yb to be more discreet about their, whatever it is, thing but i don't particularly think he is cold? What do you think?
I know it may sound odd but is there some analysis about Xiao feelings towards Yibo? I mean this guy is head over heels for him, no doubt about that but I don’t really feel the same from Xiao? I mean I could be wrong since I’m new there and didn’t read a lot of analysis so if you have some can you link them please? Thank you! And I don’t ask this in a « wrong » way like I genuinely feel like there’s something but I don’t see the same feelings towards each other. Again, I could be wrong! 
Hi, anons. These asks has been sitting for the longest time in my inbox, so I decided to tackle them today (still writing two days later, I’ve desisted on creating a more organized post and I’m just dumping my thoughts here this time).
(It’s also that I’m frustrated about this, because these are two of the most polite ones, but I’ve also received others less well worded ones, that basically imply that there’s nothing from gg).
For the anon asking for some analysis, I’ll leave a link here to a post that basically sums up my own thoughts.
Disclaimer: as always, don’t take bjyx seriously. Pure speculation here.
Long post.
Before I start, I want to say that I shouldn’t be the one to convince you to anything. It’s never my intention to impart the “universal truth” or to be patronising. If any of you really feels that there’s nothing from gg, no matter what I say, you won’t be convinced by my post alone. And it’s alright to agree to disagree. Just keep it in mind.
I feel that what anons describe it’s something that often happens to new bxg. Dd’s so obvious, so painfully obvious that in comparison, gg is much more “discreet” (well, we had to learn to read Lan Wangji’s expressions, didn’t we? The same happens with gg’s gestures). I don’t agree with the idea of dismissing someone’s love just because they aren’t as obvious and as telling as their partner at first glance (gg’s songs and drawings aren’t as straightforward, but they are there for those who care to listen and see).
From my pov, I think it’s very very probable that they are together. So, that works both ways for me. I don’t think dd’s love unrequited. They take care of each other in ways that speak of a high level of trust, intimacy and chemistry (yes, I initially wrote that post for these asks). I’ve talked about subtle ways to display your love, because when you love someone it’s difficult to hide it, and gg has a hard time trying to hide for the cameras.
(I’m still thinking of Happy Camp, when dd hurt his neck with the necklace... gg’s reaction wasn’t controlled in the slightest, and the combination of worry and anger would be a interesting combo if gg indeed wasn’t anything to dd or if he hadn’t gifted him the necklace).
Tumblr media
Gg often has a hard time controlling his reactions when dd is involved. He’s much more natural, a lot closer to how he really is instead of his very polite and soft public persona. He get a glimpse of him in the bts (I suppose they never expected CQL to be so popular, and didn’t thought that the bts would be so watched a year afterwards), and comparing how he is in the bts with dd to how he usually is in other interviews and events with other people is a very interesting exercise.
It’s true that gg in the interviews seemed to try to hold back dd, to the point that they both lied sometimes in the interviews... the effect they caused was contrary to what they wanted. Definitely. Because they tended to forget what they had lied about, and the “plot” had holes everywhere. Like gg reacting surprised to the possibility of dd starting a fashion brand. Twice. In the same day. Or the eggplant/carrots thing. Or the “I didn’t know you slept with the lights on, but I’m aware of your sleeping pattern” thing. Please note that these three plot holes were caused by gg (in the second case, I’m refering to carrots ofc).
About what the first anon says of “how xz (in the later fan meetings) is kinda just patiently indulging yb but clearly was not v happy about it”. It’s one thing that by then they’d have noticed that their cp had attracted a whole lot more attention that they had ever expected it to and a whole another thing to “indulge” someone (as if only dd wanted it and gg had nothing to say about it) and “not be very happy about it”. Gg might have tried, but even he couldn’t completely erase all of the little moments directed at dd (and you have to take into account that gg was actually sick in the last fan meeting in Nanjing, that’s bound to affect his mood too).
Tumblr media
(There’s no one else when they look at each other. No wonder Wen Ning achieved such a third wheel look when they were filming the boat scene, I suppose it’s taken from real life).
Tumblr media
How gg looks at dd and only smirks when dd looks up... well, gg still makes his best effort at being discreet...
And dd in this moment... well, what can one do when a man like gg looks at you like that? (dd.exe has stopped working. Please restart).
Tumblr media
Source of the gifs: 仙娱
Last but not least, I’d like to talk a little about W/ibo Night, the main source of many people’s doubts. I’ve seen many analysis, from “poor puppy dd following gg around” (that’s... bs) to some better analysis that deserve to be taken into account.
W/ibo Night is an event organized by a state controlled social media platform. It’s one of the most observed events of the years, with potential future employers and coworkers, apart from the government, so it’s not just them, but everyone is very serious and controlled in their actions.
They obviously had agreed beforehand on how to behave in this one. While dd is very serious, he doesn’t seem angry or sad that gg isn’t looking his way. However, they both can’t help but look in each other’s direction (gg’s more discreet, but pay attention and you’ll see him side glancing at dd at least three times on stage) and the way dd turns just so he can have a look at gg is... 🤦
They tried so hard that it ended up getting the effect they wanted to avoid: when everybody else was greeting each other (friendly hadshakes, patting their backs, etc.) these two just stood there, a little awkwardly. It became obvious to most people that they were acting as if they were strangers.
Tumblr media
I think (speculation here) that while they had agreed to act as if they didn’t know each other, gg was... off that night. His eyes were very bright (as if teary, so not in a good way) and his smiles were tense, so I’d say in a bad mood or maybe he was feeling under the weather. I think dd was worried, so that’s why he kept glancing at him (I’ve read about the rumours of why gg was like that, but I tend to dismiss them if there’s no proof).
For someone as polite as gg, to walk so obviously in front of dd when they were getting on stage (c-culture here: the one who walks in front has more seniority/authority, so gg always lets the other people walk in front of him as a sign of politeness and respect), speaks of a familiarity that exceeds that of coworkers. Dd’s actions need no more words: waiting for gg and letting him walk in front comes naturally to him.
Choosing fans (though at first, dd just looks at gg choose his). I don’t know if you remember, but gg chose “I can do it” and dd chose “I have it difficult” (as a way of saying “I can’t”). I think it was entirely a coincidence, because dd was looking at his gg choosing his fan, the one he had wanted at first was taken by another person, so he chose this one as “I couldn’t take the fan I wanted” and “it’s difficult for me to choose”.
However, look at the happy and surprised smile from gg when he notices that his fan and dd’s make a pair (similar to “yes” and “no”, gg had filmed an ad for the event in which he linked this two exact phrases as opposites). A sad spoiler: this is the only time he truly, spontaneously smiles at the event (and notice how dd’s face inmediately mirrors gg’s and how he tries to rein it in a second later). 
Tumblr media
I couldn’t find a video, but just before leaving the stage, dd looks at gg again and shakes his fan. Without a single word, gg understands that dd is asking from where to leave the stage, and makes the slightest movement with his fan to point the way. I assure you, this level of 默契 (mo qi) is difficult to find even in established long time relationships.
Once they are seated, gg leaves for a second and tells dd “I’m leaving” and dd answers “okay”. There’d be no need for this interaction unless they’re still friends/couple.
This one broke my heart a little: dd had been sitting on a plastic bottle the whole time. Usually gg clears his seat when dd comes (Nanjing fan meeting, Tencent awards night), probably because he has noticed that dd doesn’t care that he’s sitting on things. Dd left earlier the event because of his schedule, and once gg came back from getting his w/ibo king award, he sits on dd’s seat. And notices the water bottle under him. Even his poker face can’t hide the sad fondness “aiyo this boy...”
Tumblr media
Some say he sat in the seat next to dd’s, but there’s a video I can’t seem to find (the despair is real) of gg sitting on the water bottle, so it’s indeed dd’s seat.
Also, you may try to think this from your own perspective: when and why would you sit in another person’s seat in an event as important as this one? If I try to answer this from my pov, I’d say that first I’d need to know that that person wouldn’t mind me sitting there and/or knowing that this person isn’t going to come back to the event. In both cases, it requires communication and trust between these two people. Gg had to know that dd was leaving first (and why would dd tell gg if not because they chat about their work schedules?) and that dd wouldn’t mind once the fancams made it to social media. This is what I think, at least.
Okay, so here ends my post. I just exposed some of my thoughts on why I think yizhan is NOT one sided or unrequited. But of course, you’re allowed to disagree with me, anons, since we are all in the speculation ground here. Nonetheless, note that this is a yizhan/bjyx blog, which implies (at least for me) that there are feelings from both sides, so I may not interact further with one-sided yizhan/bjyx asks.
(BTW, I found a very complete post of moments where yizhan isn’t one sided here, so I decided not to elaborate on those moments in this post).

HBD JUNGHYEOK-AHH !!!
yu junghyeok probably is the most complex and yet the most straightforward character i’ve liked in recent years (same with dokja, it’s just JH is my saioshi/choiae haha)
[ quite long personal takes on JH-DJ ] [ spoiler warning ]
YJH’s fate made him repeat life many times; his emotions, as a man, protagonist, character, and regressor = astronomical level of distress
seeking life’s purpose / never give up / made same mistakes / be a good dad-lover / be a cruel king / follow the rice path (81 it’s about u) / sacrifice all / sacrifice nothing ... Yu Junghyeok had tried all method of living, yet it never satisfy him.
he wanted to confront his creator and get clear answer from god
(god: it’s for character development and for reader’s entertainment)
my understanding of JH: “who cares about emotions when from day one to your last breath, your story has been destined to be tragedy” that also applies to DJ because i personally think, they’re mirror each other.
I was fine with ch 516, Dokja’s final decision is so Kim Dokja and i respect him for any path he choose. He said to himself in ch 370 “I had never learned to be cowardly. No, I was taught to pay the price for the things I’ve done“. His ending fit him and i like such Kim Dokja.
But I CRIED A LOT AT THE FIRST CHAPTER FROM WORLD OF ZERO
I don’t know what kind of story, about YJH, that KDJ has been read for decade.
And World of zero is a new story both KDJ and I, as reader, never know.
Reader only get KDJ’s very own subjective view, about YJH, since very beginning. We got fan report of WoS main character from a long time reader’s perspective.
World of zero, the epilog KDJ has been searching, is a story that explain the reason of YJH’s suffering. From 1 to 1864, YJH tried countless different routes ... but this fool didn’t know he’s been chasing his own tail for ever. It’s carbon copy of KDJ’s brand “I was taught to pay the price for the things I’ve done“. Bro. 0th YJH is the OG.
---
KDJ dislike YJH at the early part of the novel. He had read all the good and bad decisions YJH made in all regression turn; and got into WoS world with his 10 years memories of reading it. He really thought 3rd YJH is stupid lol.
And that mirror concept, KDJ projecting YJH as himself who live a life with better options to choose. YJH had option to have companions, friends, lover, family ALL THE THINGS KDJ BEEN YEARNING since his early life THIS STUPID SUNFISH CHOOSE TO BE ALONE INSTEAD LMAO SIR WANNA TRADE LIFE WITH MINE?
  KDJ disliked 3rd YJH, he liked 999th --he liked JH who stand up for his companion; and his narration lead us reader to think that 1864th/3rd is bad person, while 999th, his personal favorite, is great YJH. KDJ’s one of favorite movie is Gladiator, we can probably guess what value he hold in consuming media/story.
0th JH and kkoma are my top JH btw, 1864th/3rd = 999th = 1863rd (this is KDJ’s pet, right? i also prefer pet over man) second, and SP (i’m not sure i understand SP, i probably mixed my perception of him with all YJH).
SP to me is embodiment of regrets that pilled up every time JH picked wrong route. He can’t go back, but there’s no meaning to go forward; so he quit the system altogether. But just when he is no longer part of it, his raison d’etre finally appear in the story. YET ANOTHER REGRET WTHELL SP GOT ALL RIGHTS TO SEND COMPLAINTS TO THE AUTHOR.
 oh by stating i have ranked my favorite JH, i did the same with dokja .. is this .. also moebius loop between reader and reader as story re-teller??
side note: JH got all things happen on secondary creation (fanart) as canon wow, genderbend / kkoma / be a pet / disciple / be a lover / is both in BxB and BxG pair / also the final boss / KIM DOKJA IS YUMEDANSHI LIVING HIS Y/N LIFE
extra: i always feel like i left dokja in shadow whenever i talk about junghyeok hmmm very biased indeed, i spent 400 chapters studying him but maybe i need another hundreds. My KDJ’s image mostly came from the early part of the novel, I like that KDJ the most. “Why would you fear of losing, when you have nothing to begin with?” emphasized by god themselves (author) near last chapter.
To someone who even lost the traces of his loss, no such thing as ‘loss’ existed. 
ch. 536 
For someone who is unfamiliar with genuine happiness / companionship / family, and life-time believer that he’s always alone; saying ily or excessive affection would have negative result imo. He (my version of KDJ) is the type who would grow attachment if you give him enough space to breath. Just never let him wander too far. Accompany him but don’t tie him too tightly. Cute.

Global Fever fansite comments on her experience of the event from such close proximity to GG:
HD video presented. There were praises from all kinds of little expressions, praises from those who kept time to the rhythm of the performance, praises from those with bright eyes after receiving the trophy, and praises from those with red eyes who were deeply touched by the speeches made by the old artist.
During the few hours I spent watching Zanzan at close range, I was immersed in the solemn atmosphere of awarding awards. The birth of every outstanding drama is inseparable from the hard work in front of and behind the scenes. Zanzan’s tears also allowed me to see his appreciation for the profession of actors respects and admires the older generation, which also makes me feel that what we love are good actors who stick to their hearts, have ideas and love.
To borrow the words of the elders, keep moving forward, and you will have more light to be seen!

CPN : 3/24 LRLG Post
As if the excitement that we all have today, the eve of Weibo Night where they will be at the same event isn’t enough, LRLG had to go ahead and bless us with an update. A very recent one at that. Usually, the contributions shared to us are events that happened months ago. This is why we are able to match which is which fairly easily or notice something we haven’t before.
Tumblr media
It starts of saying “today”, meaning this happened 3/24, XZ’s arrival in Shanghai. I have thoughts on LRLG deciding to share this today and who allowed it. If we’re going by the assumption/speculation/clownery— whatever you wanna call it, that these contributions are sent out with xz/wyb’s “blessing” then there must be a reason why they are switching from the usual pattern. They could have easily shared this after the whole weibo night craziness. As what they did in previous events, but they didn’t. So what’s changed? I’m not looking at this as a negative in any way, I am just curious. Did they see how excited BXGs are so decided to give us something? Are they also just dying to be in one place again so they are sharing this happiness to us? No matter the answer, All I can say is : “Bless Shanghai!🙏🏼”
now onto the fake rumor itself. same disclaimer applies. this is all fan fiction. ‼️
It starts with a phone conversation ( i think ) between the boys and it’s mostly yibo. As you will notice in this entire scene/s, it’s all on WYB’s perspective ( literally only one red circle in the entire post ) so again, we have an additional “clue” that this lrlg person is from wyb’s team.
WYB: "Wear more when you come"
XZ: "Okay, I'll use it for you..."
WYB : "sock"
WYB: "I can't see your news anymore, you tell xx"
WYB: "good"
This exchange is so simple and sweet. Their love language is being attentive towards each other and what the other might need, even as “simple” as needing extra clothes to wear because of the weather. And so GG decides to wear a Tod’s biker jacket that makes him look so sexy instead ( as seen in photos / videos of him boarding the plane today and arriving ). 😂😂😂 I mean, WYB & I are not complaining with his choice of clothes but I hope it does keep him warm. and GG’s “ i’ll use it for you..” he really can’t say No to his puppy. He will do it if his puppy wants it. I just. I’m done with them.
The next part is his staff ( a woman based on the emoji ) is saying how unfortunate it is that he has work today and he is mildly pissed that has to because if he didn’t, then he can pick GG up at the airport. I mean. That’s interesting. I wonder if he did that before and i’m surprised at how brave he is to even consider “planning” to do that out of all days. It’s the day before WB night, paps are waiting for all the celebrities to arrive at the airport so if he goes — there is a higher chance for him to get spotted compared to just the normal day. Or maybe he knows the ins & outs already as he’s almost always filming in Shanghai over the past years so he might know how to make it happen.
Then you have a scene where people are playing cards, and I think there is drinks involved. but he ( wyb ) can’t come and join because he has works. The people are telling him to try and join because tomorrow ( WB night ) is busy and there will be lots of material to shoot. I just love WYB’s dedication to work and cackling at the emojis LRLG is using for him — I can totally picture his face like this and going “what are you all doing???”
Tumblr media
in the meantime when the subject is XZ, he all sweet smiles.
Tumblr media
and this exchange is just too much —
WYB: "Get me the power bank"
👧"Hurry up and play, you won't be interested in playing with your phone tomorrow.
WYB: What are you talking about?"
👧: Would you like to see how you smile now
WYB: XZ is coming why won’t i be smiling.
and he goes on to say 恋爱脑 with that smiley face. I don’t know if he’s fuckin trolling himself at this point, because this is same/similar label said about him by that yangyang paparazzi. the same one he refuted was false because they were saying he single then the next sentence has ambiguous relationship with an older woman and so on.
Tumblr media
so i am looking at this like, he’s trolling and this only applies to GG. It’s not necessarily real for him, cause i highly doubt it— looking at how they live and thrive as individuals too. He’s using it and also making fun of that ridiculous rumor spread about him.
HIS SMILE THO MUST BE LIKE THIS :
Tumblr media
he just smiles differently when it’s connected to ZZ. I think no one can deny that. It’s so radiant ✨✨✨
I AM ALSO CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THIS EXCHANGE MIGHT MEAN: ( the people talking aside from wyb is his staff )
“Those who didn’t know thought that xx stole our boss”
"they're here"
"it's here"
WYB : "Finish xx this afternoon, we will record together tomorrow"
"I have sorted it out and sent it to xx for confirmation, no problem with me
WYB "Good job"
WYB "What time will the filming be, you can tell me when the time comes"
Shoot with who? I mean, I’m not really expecting XZS to share a bts of XZ’s photoshoot because they are together soooo ( based on this cpn ).
The next is his his ( wyb ) staff telling him they will prepare food for him and put it in the car cause it will be hard to eat tomo because of the show and how busy it would be. They said they will fix just small things he can carry and also provide him warmer. Awwww. They are so sweet and caring of Bobo 🥹
AND LAST IS THIS EXCHANGE :
👩🏻‍🦰: “you are really so happy today”
🟢: “im happy every day”
👩🏻‍🦰: “nonono there is a difference”
🟢: “😊”
👩🏻‍🦰: “that’s great”
I’m thinking this girl who commented is probably part of the cast/crew. not sure why i get the feeling, cause the emoji is different form his staff. lol. I’m so giddy thinking about yibo being all radiant and happy knowing that he will be with ZZ very soon. ☺️
LRLG also has a message for us at the end:
Be Safe. Have a long and fun weekend!
What a great treat to all turtles, setting all of us in a good mood before the day of the show. I have no expectations. I’m looking forward to seeing what they will wear and to see the photos. I’m proud of the awards/ recognition they will get — all well deserved. everything else is just a bonus. 💕
-END.

hi, i hope you’re having a wonderful day ♥️♥️ sorry to be one of those people who brings this topic up again, as i’m sure you’re still looking into it, do you think there’s a possibility that xz would sing nan hai?? that is, if you see any direct correlation at all!! also, i love that “yizhan” kitchen idea. reading something so simple yet very possibly intimate just made me very emotional. i really, really miss them.
Thank you! I hope you’re having a great day/night too! ♥️ 
I wasn’t investigating Nan Hai lol I already wrote about Nan Hai, although I have things to add to that now (along with Kepler.)
I doubt he would sing Nan Hai for multiple reason, none of which are backed up facts LOL Completely my own opinion:
1) Nan Hai is too tied to bjyx. Singing it will stir up a lot of drama, drama that even as a bxg, I wouldn’t wan it to happen. So I doubt gg, or even dd will sing it again. 
2) Dd last mentioned “Nan Hai” ever when he used that song to describe gg. “Nan Hai” has not come up since. This can be due to bullet 1 above. It can also be because it’s like an end to the chapter of Nan Hai. Why end? See Bullet 3
3) “Nan Hai” is not a happy song. The original song is about someone who broke up and while was missing the other person, also wanted to move on and end the heartbreak. While dd changed the lyrics to make it sweeter, it still has that sense of loss and insecurity. So it may be an end to his pursuit of gg, which is kind of bittersweet, just like the song.
4) “Nan Hai” was dd’s song to gg and the song is representing his perspective. It would be strange for gg to sing it back. (It’s like how dd sang it to him in the bts, but he didn’t continue like he usually does whenever they sing together. Instead, he still continue to sing Kepler. This might be reading too much into it though. He could just really want to sing Kepler and is like “omg you’re singing the wrong song” LOL)

this whole incident with xb only made me realize how homophobic even the supposedly gay friendly parts of yb's fandom are. some bxgs viciously attacked a gay man without considering his perspective or trying to understand why he wouldn't want to be dragged into discussions about an A list celebrity's sexuality. i expected mtjjs' gleeful homophobia, but this caught me off guard. such a fun, sexy moment turned into something very ugly and sad for me personally, as a non-straight fan of them both
oh god yeah some people freaking out over what xb said or attacking him calling him names like PLEASE if you’re going to have a meltdown do it in private or in a gc or something ....realize that a dancer being openly gay is not the same as an idol the situations and scrutiny are different. especially when the stuff with xb doesn’t have the cover of a drama cp or fanservice or anything to save the situation.

[Read caption for Rumor Time with Joy (Ep I forgot to count):- 1-3rd Slide:- Lemme just wish happy one year to this interview. It gave us a lot. Also, Happy Camp episode is 1 year old too. Which was FILLED with jealousy. Time flies so fast. Ok, before I start with the rumors, lemme clarify something. These rumors are already posted via this vid (4th Slide) in Bilibili. If anyone comes to attack me for posting them, plz tell the op to remove it too. I'll be stating the rumors from this video one by one WITH MY short explanation for you to understand better. Sorry for mistakes. 1. Yibo chased after XZ first. Ex. If you already saw my analysis about 'Why I think DD had a crush on GG before TU', you'll probably know this rumor. DD fell for GG first and proposed first aswell. ALTHOUGH, there is another rumor going around, which says, GG was the one who fell first in 2015. It's called devil timeline. Basically, it's alternated from the actual event. Lemme know if y'all want a post about it. 2. XZ changed his Mobile Number once. YB asked a lot of people to get his new phone number. Ex. Imo, this is from 2016, when they first met. XZ wasn't so close with DD at first. Apparently, he changed his number (and of course we chat) and DD lost track of him. So he went around and asked for his new number from everyone. Such a dedicated lion. 3. Xiao Zhan is a Top, YiBo is a bottom. But, emotionally, not physically. Ex. It's a win for Top DD enthusiasts. I prefer both. I'll make a separate post about it, in my perspective. 4. When XZ's kiss scene with YZ got leaked, YB immediately went to Shanghai. (Where TOOL was getting filmed) Ex. Yes! I am going to post a WHOLE rumor book about 'GGDD during Oath Of Love era.' It has a lot going around. 5. They bought a house together. Ex. Wait for my 'Living together' rumor rant. 6. They both flew somewhere via plane with BOTH of their parents, TOGETHER. Ex. Again, wait for my 'GGDD's parents accepting their relationship' rumor rant. Ok, I'll be posting part 2 of this in a short while. Just wait. ⁣ [ 🐰♡.🦁 ]:- #博君一肖 #bjyx #肖战 #王一博 #bjyxszd #bxg #WangYibo #XiaoZhan #YiZhan #wangxiao https://www.instagram.com/p/CCdep3AgVyZ/?igshid=s0al4jubddvb

roleplay rules.
                                  ⋆          ʀᴏʟᴇᴘʟᴀʏ ᴘʀᴇғᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇs     ⋆
I.) I prefer roleplaying literate. I really love advanced lit. If the muse is willing, novella. And ask that my partner to be, at least, semi-lit or lit in return. I don’t really like freefrom or non-lit roleplaying as I feel like there’s not enough depth to it. 💔 I apologize in advance if that seems a bit harsh and maybe you can prove me wrong!
II.) I roleplay using third person perspective and would prefer it if my partner did the same. I don’t much like first person and roleplaying it is a bit of a pain for me.
III.) When it comes to genre, I have many favorites. Romance, mystery, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy, drama, horror — just, all of them, hehehe. But especially romance, angst, and humor! Definitely would love it if we can merge a few together.
IV.) I like having the option of adding mature themes to any plots; gore, violence, drugs, etc. I’m perfectly fine with smut! Love it even, but this will only be allowed if my partner is +18.
V.) Swearing does not bother me as I, too, swear. Sometimes I swear a lot and sometimes I don’t; not really consistent with that, haha. Swearing in roleplays is DEFINITELY gonna happen from my end, sorry. ♡
VI.) When it comes to shipping, I’m extremely open but there’s got to be some sort of chemistry or connection between the characters, even if it is just a certain kind of tension. They’ve got to have a sort of spark to be able to go off of and to develop Feelings™️ for one another. 
VII.) I prefer bxg! But I am willing to do gxg, so don’t fret! ♡                            *However, I have kind of a hard time writing bxb, sorry!
VIII.) I’m comfortable with roleplaying with canon characters and original characters! I  L O V E  OCs, gimme them! I usually roleplay as my original characters but I can play a fair amount of canon characters.
                          *I will upload a list of canon characters and from which fandoms I can play!
IX.) Due to life being life, it can take me some time to reply to roleplays. But I will never leave a chat due to inactivity! I will leave if you’re being a meanie. I won’t ever bug or nag you for replies unless it has been more than a few days, then I’ll do a check-in just to make sure that you are okay and that you are still interested.
If you are no longer interested, let me know! We can work out a new plot or try something else!
X.) I am usually a very serious roleplayer, however OOC I’m a big, obnoxious, clingy baby. I'd love it if we could be friends especially if we plan on doing long term roleplays!
XI.) My characters will never do anything out of character. They’re extremely developed and there is just no way I can willingly write them to do something they just don’t do. Unless we’ve plotted they’ve been hypnotised or something.
XII.) I love to plot, headcanon, and just chat — so hit me up!
XII.) I will not force my partner into any plots that they are uncomfortable with! 
All you have to do is tell me once that you do not like something and I will never bring it up again. Comfort and trust in your roleplay partner is everything! ♡
XIV.) I have no triggers or boundaries, as long as such subjects are handled with RESPECT and DELICACY. However, if it gets too much for me, I will let you know and I expect you to do the same. ♡
XV.)  I am fine with roleplaying here on tumblr through posts, through discord, and docs! I prefer not to do RPs through DMs simply because of how small the window is and how poor my eyesight is. XVI.) When it comes to smut, I won’t do a ‘fade to black’ or ‘the next morning’, I don’t really prefer it but if smut makes you uncomfortable, I can do the time skip. ♡
                                  [this list will be updated from time to time —]
                                                                          (     👑     )
*ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴘᴍ ᴍᴇ ᴏʀ ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴛ ʙᴇʟᴏᴡ ɪғ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡɪsʜ ᴛᴏ ʀᴘ ᴏʀ ᴄʜᴀᴛ! 👽💕

Hello, here I will briefly explain each of my writing universes. As for information, I currently have two ongoing universes with different characters in it. Also, the full version of all these stories is available only on my wattpad.
disclaimer:
are written all in bahasa indonesia.
this is a work of fiction using kpop's bxg pairing stories. so please leave if you find it annoying, weird, or such, i don't need your critics about this one.
i only use their face claims, again, for fictional purposes only. the storyline and plot are mines. plagiarizing will not be tolerated kindly.
Twisted Milkyway
Tumblr media
the first universe mainly focused on the daily life of 7 college students with monsta x and wonho as the main characters. life is full of twisting turns of events. becoming an adult may not seem as exciting as what was imagined when we're children. thus, stories in this universe will be following each character encounters different issues they face in life as they just got into the world of college students, such as; the struggles of being a new adult, friendship, dealing with grief, family issue, new perspective of life, society's double standard, etc.
introduction about the characters
currently, the process of this universe is still ON-HOLD.
Crack of Dawn
Tumblr media
and the second universe is mainly focused on the daily life of high school teenagers with enhypen as the main characters. being a teenager means entering the phase where we started to discover ourselves more, dig further into things we're passionate about, and start to plan about our future, yet still able to enjoy our youthhood despite all the stress from school or home. no heavy conflicts are brought up in this universe as i just want to share the experience of how most high schoolers live their ordinary life and the way they live up their spirit as youngblood to the fullest.

The Road is Long
Tumblr media
By now most people have likely heard some mutterings about shakeups in turtledom. Let's talk about that a bit.
Disclaimer: As always, everything I say is a reflection of my own understanding of things, my own values and ideas and opinions. There are precious few verified facts available here, so we can never know for sure what the real truth is. Therefore, don't take what I say as fact. It's just my opinion, some melancholy musings, and a bit of CPN. Totally fake, of course.
Today is a day of tremendous grief among turtles, as it is believed by many that the person who was handling the LRLG posts has been shifted off of DD's staff. They made a contribution to the rumor house saying simply, "See you next time."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When I saw that I was heartbroken, as were many turtles. If you've been following LRLG at all, "See you next time" has frequently been their sign-off when making a post. If it's a goodbye, it would be a fitting - and poignant - one, made sadder by the context of this situation.
It's also an important reminder that nothing is permanent. We may see more from LRLG one day.
As of my screen cap, the post already has 18,000 comments. Most of them are tearful and grateful, showering LRLG in thanks for all the blessings and stories they've shared with us. Turtles are crying together, sharing supportive messages and gratitude, and being overall the sweet-hearted people they tend to be. Just loving GG and DD and restating their commitment to support them both through thick and thin.
The top comment is a photo of some turtle graffiti, saying, "The summer that belongs to us, no one can take away."
Tumblr media
Of course, it wouldn't be a turtle post without some CPN, and many turtles have been pointing out that if the staff changes and removal of LRLG is real, then all the posts from LRLG are likely also real.
But we already knew that. LRLG has come through with proven messages time and again. This is just more confirmation of what many turtles already believed.
But why is this happening?
No one knows the whole story, and most of it is speculation based on various events and situations that have been unfolding over the past several months. However, the generally accepted narrative at this point is that DD's management has begun to cave under pressure from toxic solo fans who have been pushing a lot of demands, causing a lot of commotion and threatening to boycott the YH concert next month.
Up until recently DD's team has been completely ignoring these behaviors (and IMHO, rightly so). No one knows why the approach has shifted, but there are a lot of possible reasons. One of the likeliest being that investors/backers in DD's career and projects, and in YH (since it's now on the HK stock exchange) have caught wind of the toxic fan situation and are getting nervous.
From the perspective of a single-minded moneybags it looks a lot like DD's team isn't keeping the traffic happy, which wouldn't bode well for their bottom line. So of course, they will want something done to restore order.
What they don't appear to be aware of is just how much of DD's traffic is from turtles. As CP fans, turtles don't have the status to make demands like solos do (nor are they so toxic), so they just have to sit by and watch these changes that are harming turtles. They have no recourse.
Some turtles are disillusioned with DD because they've always seen him as the guy who would never back down. Some are angry and hurt and turning away from DD because of it.
What they don't seem to realize is that it's completely out of DD's hands. He would not be at liberty to go against what his backers want. They will no doubt have convincing reasons why this is what's best for his career, and why it's necessary.
This is just more of the squeeze GG and DD have been under from the beginning. They are commodities - they are businesses. GG said it in his interview not long ago. They all work for 'the star'.
“There are two Xiao Zhans, one of them is here, that’s me. There is another Xiao Zhan, the Xiao Zhan in quotes, but he is probably not me anymore. We are all working for him, including myself.”
As businesses that employ a lot of workers and bring in a lot of money, GG and DD aren't at liberty to do whatever they want. They have financial and contractual considerations to deal with. They have reputational and governmental issues to deal with.
The central focus of business and financial entities is always how to avoid and mitigate risk. To those with a stake in GG and DD's careers (and with every new project and endorsement the number of stakeholders grows), the important thing is to ensure maximum profitability with minimum risk. Fan wars represent risk. Toxic solo demands represent risk. Fan boycotts represent serious risk. Turtles - to some degree I'm sure in the minds of many - represent risk. Danmei and all things associated with it represents risk.
If GG and DD want to keep doing what they do, they will have to keep these stakeholders happy. They have a financial and contractual obligation to do so.
The reality is, we've always known GG and DD are in a precarious position. We've always known the government is against danmei. We've always known that things were tightening up and getting worse and worse every year.
Turtles have no standing as fans. As I've said many times when talking about endorsement brand candies, it's highly unlikely that turtles are taken into consideration when calculating GG and DD's fan bases and fan power. When everyone is sitting around the table having deep conversations about how to keep fans happy, it's highly unlikely that turtles are taken much into consideration, if at all.
DD's team has been ignoring toxic motos and their demands, but they've only gotten worse. They've been leaving hateful comments and lists of demands in response to everything his team posts, and elsewhere. They reported YH to the government for unfair ticketing of the concert*. They've been vocal enough that stakeholders and even some passersby will be aware of their discontent. They've been threatening to boycott the YH family concert next month (which, by the way, turtles have stepped up and bought all the tickets motos refused to buy, and will be making a big showing there).
*And they apparently discovered in response that YH isn't the producer of the show, it's produced by another company in a province that the gov't department doesn't have jurisdiction over. So there are theories that maybe the ticketing approach was part of the production agreement.
And it seems finally someone came along and demanded that DD's team does something to appease these toxic little bitches motos. These aren't just some random group of fans, they're organized and ring-led by DD's biggest fan club. That's the sort of thing that will make stakeholders nervous.
The changes to his Weibo bio are likely part of this - not necessarily directly as a result of motos, but also because of what I was talking about before - risk. Danmei is officially condemned by the government. CQL is a danmei drama.
And some of the changes to his team seem to have happened long before now. Remember, we used to get a lot of exciting, affectionate, interesting content from YBO. The video updates, the comic strips, the little anecdotes from his daily life. All of that has gone away a long time ago, and we've been getting increasingly dry, increasingly unimaginative, officious updates (maybe time to rebrand as 'Yibo Officious' 🤔?).
More of that is likely to come. DD's team appears to be wielding a sledgehammer now, not a poet's pen. Just this morning they posted some photos from DD's Moncler event, and attempted to crudely photoshop the numbers from his sleeve.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For those who were unaware, the text on the sleeve reads: "MF: 032/33." This is a Moncler FRGMT varsity jacket with a limited edition of 33 in the world. DD's is 32 of 33. (And has a big yellow flower on it, I might add.)
Why would they try to hide that DD is wearing one of only 33 jackets that exist in the world? Obviously because 32 is a number that will be associated with turtles/GG. But in attempting to obscure it they are acknowledging that it's a CP number. And who chose that number?
Well, repos say that DD spent a lot of time trying on clothes and deciding on an outfit, and we know how much he loves the numbers 2 and 3 (ai zan - love Zhan). The kadian of the jacket would read, "Zhan love/ZhanZhan."
As some c-turtles have rightly pointed out: the team can photoshop the numbers, but they can't stop him choosing them. They can remove LRLG, but they can't stop him choosing to award a prize to the seat at row 2 #30 (and then switching it to row 3 #20 when he was told there weren't 30 seats in each row) at the Chunzhen brand event, and they can't stop him from sitting in seat #5 at the Born to Fly theater during ADLAD. They can change the time when photos are posted on Weibo, but they can't change the time he sets his watch to in the photo.
EDIT: I have a theory about why this whole photoshop thing might not be as bad as it seems. More about that here.
DD will always be DD. He will always love GG. He will always care about turtles. He will always need (and deserve) our support. If he loses it, then the motos win. Don't let them succeed at their nefarious, hateful agenda. DD doesn't deserve that.
Is this the right move for DD's career?
I was among those who thought DD's team would never back down. They'd held strong for many months. But we should never underestimate the driving force of money, and like it or not (and correctly or incorrectly), in the eyes of investors motos represent traffic and profit. The money men will take over the vehicle if they feel its heading in the wrong direction. They don't care what they destroy if it saves their bottom line. But will it work?
Only time will tell, but I'm unconvinced right now. For a few reasons:
Everyone knows, paid ransom only leads to more kidnappings. The more management teams cave in to toxic fans, the more toxic they become. The more emboldened they become. The more they sharpen their knives and shoot off their mouths. It's only going to get worse. And we're talking about people who are already so full of themselves that they physically attack turtles at events. How much worse will it get? What will their next demands be?
Motos' ability to carry traffic is questionable. While DD is consistently doing well, his fans aren't doing anything spectacular for his endorsements or projects. BAH, Luoyang, his films, they did well but weren't the blockbusters some were expecting. And turtles are pulling a LOT of weight for him. If the goals of solos were successful and turtles were gone and it was only motos left, what would that look like? Maybe it's an inferiority complex from constantly being outgunned by shrimps, but I think motos vastly overestimate their own power as a group.
Further to my previous point, turtles are more powerful than they get credit for. They are constantly counted out and underestimated. DD's team might have factored the risk of upsetting solos, but I doubt they've fully calculated the risk and potential harm of alienating turtles. Although my belief (and hope) is that turtles will stay strong. Turtles have taken so many blows over the years, and they still hold the line. As one turtle heartbreakingly put it in response to LRLG's post, "😭😭😭😭😭😭I cry and I cry for nothing else. It's because the two treasures are too difficult and wronged 🥺🥺🥺 Please rest assured that we will never let go of our original intention to protect them 💚❤️💛 we will never break our promise." Some turtles get it, and it only makes them stronger and more committed. Others will be hurt and walk away. And while GG and DD are going to be fine, while their careers will likely continue to thrive, there is something special that turtles give them that is irreplaceable. If things take a bad turn with this team it wouldn't be the first time an outsider came along and carelessly destroyed something beautiful that they didn't understand. Even without the numbers game, there's a personal cost here that only turtles and GGDD will recognize and pay.
A lot of turtles are feeling emboldened, too. A lot of them are tired of covering their faces, hiding their colors and bowing down. It will be interesting to see how that factors in to everything.
We will just have to watch and wait, and see what happens. Regardless of any misgivings I might have about these issues and about his revised team, I will still continue to love and support DD. More than ever, actually. He will need our love.
LRLG is a role, not an individual
Some of you might have noticed over the past couple of years, that LRLG hasn't always kept the same tone, writing style, inflection, etc. in the messages they've shared. Many people - myself included - suspect that's because there have been shifts in staffing before, and the person doing the LRLG messages has changed in the past.
What hasn't changed is the messages or the manner in which they've been shared with us. If that's true, it's because LRLG was a role or a task that continued to be managed and filled regardless of who on staff was available to take care of it.
It's possible that role has been eliminated from the plan moving forward, which would be different from simply shifting who makes the contributions to the rumor house. I don't know for sure, but it seems like maybe there's no one left on his team who is in on it.
But that doesn't mean that LRLG won't show up again in some other capacity, or perhaps at some time in the future. Maybe the contributions will come from GG's side. We don't know.
My thoughts
Like I said earlier, this is all based on conjecture. No one knows all the details from behind the scenes. There could be a lot more to this issue than we realize. We just have to stay strong, and be patient.
In any case, it's a sad time for turtles, and there's no doubt about that. I am grieving these changes along with everyone else. It doesn't help that it comes right at the time I'm deeply grieving the anniversaries of the deaths of 2 close loved ones.
So I'm sad, very sad. Heartbroken is a better word.
I really didn't GAF about CQL being removed from DD's profile. If anything it's a bit of a relief. It can no longer be a factor. People can stop arguing about it, it can stop being such a focus. It's such an inconsequential thing. But YBO acting like turtle antis? Editing out candy and possibly removing LRLG? GUTTED.
The noose keeps tightening, and GG and DD and turtles are always the ones to pay the price.
This whole thing feels like nothing less than the triumph of homophobia, stupidity, mindless self-importance, toxicity and hate, and I've seen enough of that lately to last me several lifetimes.
One thing I know deep in my heart: GG and DD love turtles, they appreciate us, they care about us, and they will find a way to feed us and show us their love. They are smart, mischievous and resourceful, and they seem to thrive on challenges.
So take heart, my friends, and stay strong. Everything is going to be OK. The road is long.
A final word to the motos: I hate to break it to you, honey, but he's never going to marry you.
