▪︎ "...You know Amundsen and Scott?" ☆ SPTO × GJ SCREENSHOT EDIT

I've seen this screenshot going around as a challenge, with people redrawing or editing it to be their favourite ships from other media. And I wanted to have a go at this too!! So here it is as Xyan- because while the Go Jetters neglect admittedly isn't real on my end, these two are my favourites and the OGs so to do anyone else would be a crime. This was just lots of fun, and honestly if I didn't have so many other ideas, I'd love to do more !!

What do you think ?? ♡♡

Original Screenshot and Comparison Slide under the cut. ♡♡

GO WATCH SCOTT PILGRIM TAKES OFF BTW ITS SO GREAT !! ♡♡

@post/723652361823862784

But I decided to see if there were any Questionable on that site. Like Proship stuff or something like that. And nothing there were people saying about that site is true. I think people were overreacting or spreading Misinformation or rumors.

I think you just didn't look hard enough. Also, let's not forget what Red/Pokemutt/Vulcan (the owner/admin/developer, proof they're the same person is here) did (it gets mentioned on the Toyhouse link that's below). Also the community poll, that was a mess (also mentioned in the Toyhouse thread)... 

I just checked the site itself and saw a recent blog where a member literally said "I post feral nsfw and hard kinks like noncon" (they also mentioned tagging it properly though, I won't link as I don't really want to put a target on them). There's also another member on the popular members list whose profile literally states "i post feral nsfw, incest and possibly other controversial topics, if that makes you uncomfortable you can block those tags" and "please do not follow if you are anti-ship/anti-fiction or if you are a pro-contact zoophile or pedophile" (again not linking their profile and again, they tag their stuff anyway so you can literally avoid seeing it). I could likely find more if that's what you want, but just know there are proshippers on the site and there's a reason people call Buzzly the "the haven for zoophiles/pedophiles".

Anyway, I'd rather show than just claim this and that happened... So here:

An informative thread on Toyhouse that shows many of the problems with the site itself

A pretty informative deviantART journal about this

Reddit thread that also goes through the drama

If you can access Twitter, this whole account is worth checking out

Twitter thread worth checking out

Buzzly on-site themselves made a news post about this

And then some posts from this very blog that show that the proship drama has indeed been a thing for some time:

I understand this sounds negative, but I don't mean it to be that way, I just wish to shed some light, because I feel like everyone should know about the site's past. I prefer people forming their own opinion, instead of listening to what someone else thinks, which is why I genuinely hope you read at least some of this. Trying to hide the drama will only seem suspicious: let people see it and see how the site grows and learns from its mistakes (no site is perfect!), let people form their own opinion.

If you read all this and decide Buzzly isn't for you, great, you're free to leave, I hope you find a good place elsewhere! If you decide this doesn't matter to you personally and you feel like you can still use and enjoy Buzzly, great, welcome to the hive and have fun! 

Sincerely, a busy bee, excited to see how Buzzly will do in the future!

GJ and ZZH Updates — March 3-9

previous week || all posts || following week

This is part of a weekly series collecting updates from and relating to Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan.

This post is not wholly comprehensive and is intended as an overview, links provided lead to further details. Dates are in accordance with China Standard Time, the organization is chronological. My own biases on some things are reflected here. Anything I include that is not concretely known is indicated as such, and you’re welcome to do your own research and draw your own conclusions as you see fit. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or additions. :)

[Glossary of names and terms] [Masterlist of my posts about the situation with Zhang Zhehan]

03-03 → The whaler MistyRose posted a screenshot of account stats that can only be seen by the account holder for the official Ranyi Music YouTube channel (associated with the Zhang Sanjian songs.) This suggests that at the least she has some insider connection with the scam that allowed her to receive the screenshot personally, and it's possible that she's the one running the account herself.

→ 361° posted two photo ads featuring Gong Jun. (1129 kadian)

→ Za posted another teaser photo ad featuring Gong Jun. (1129 kadian)

→ The Instagram posted six photos of "Zhang Zhehan" and "Zhang Mama" and four of an aquarium.

03-04 → Gong Jun posted a commercial for the makeup brand Za, announcing that he is their new global spokesperson. This was reposted by his studio.

→ Za posted five photo ads featuring Gong Jun. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] (1129 kadian on the first)

→ The Instagram posted a video of the most recent scam concert.

→ Za held a livestream to promote the new endorsement with Gong Jun. During this, a number of people with obviously CPF usernames won several giveaways, and the streamer reportedly said "Oh [you're] also a fan of Zhehan" to one of them. Sources: [1] [2]

→ 361° posted a promotional video featuring Gong Jun. Fan Observation: The video shows him colouring flowers in with red. In the final shot one flower is still left uncoloured, recalling Zhou Zishu's plum blossom mural in Word of Honor.

03-05 → Za posted a promotional video (1129 kadian) and two photo ads [1] [2] featuring Gong Jun.

→ 361° posted three photo ads featuring Gong Jun.

→ Za posted three wallpapers featuring Gong Jun.

03-06 → Gong Jun posted five photos ads of himself for L'Oreal.

→ Za posted a promotional video featuring Gong Jun.

→ Some of the old essays posted by Zhang Sanjian at the very beginning of the scam (early 2022) were reposted, but edited to remove the implications against Gong Jun and CPFs. It's been discussed quite bit by now that trying to appeal to solo fans at the expense of CPFs so early on was the scam's biggest mistake, as it caused CPFs to become sceptical and begin investigations. This is not the first time that the scam has shown signs of wanting to backtrack on that move.

03-07 → The Fox Spirit Matchmaker Weibo posted a promotional image of Gong Jun's character to celebrate the show reaching 4 million viewer reservations. Caption: "Refreshing and clear, with eyebrows like poetry. Dongfang Yuechu @ Gong Jun Simon seems to be the person in the painting."

→ Gong Jun posted a short commercial for Za to his Douyin. Fan Observation: The product is called Magnetic (贴贴, tietie) Powder, the same word fans use for how Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan would often bump against each other when they were working together. I could be wrong, but I couldn't find any evidence of this product existing prior to Gong Jun's endorsement.

→ Gong Jun's studio posted a little video celebrating Fox Spirit Matchmaker's milestone. Caption: "Pure fire is invincible🔥Candied haws never leaves the hand✌️ #Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Chapter has more than 4 million reservations#, @ Gong Jun Simon's new mission props are now distributed!" The same was also posted to the studio's Douyin.

→ Za posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

03-08 → Gong Jun posted four photo ads he did for L'Oreal to his Xiao Hong Shu.

→ GXG posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ 361° posted a video voiced by Gong Jun for International Women's Day. (1129 kadian)

→ Za posted a behind the scenes video of their commercial featuring Gong Jun. (1129 kadian)

→ Gong Jun posted four photos of himself. Caption: "Happy holidays! Also share my half-day leisure 😌"

→ Za posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ Gong Jun posted a silly video of himself to his Douyin. Caption: "I heard that this is how millions of people move their mirrors 🤳" BGM is What You Won't Do For Love by Bobby Caldwell.

03-09 → The scam announced a short film entitled "August" directed by "Zhang Zhehan", using footage that the scam gang took during the bike trip in August 2022. The intention of this is very obviously to have search results for the film come up with information about 813.

I know Drakken and Shego were rewarded for playing a part in stopping the invasion but you don’t suppose a bureaucrat with a grudge might saddle them with a mountain of debts for years of schemes? How many people might hold a grudge against them can you guess?

This is a very good question! Haven't actually thought of it before (because uhhh I like happy endings and don't want to think about any other consequences of prior actions).

My headcanon is that Shego and Drakken get pardoned but not in all countries. Shego's wanted in 11 and I'm sure that not all of them agree on dismissing prior criminal activity. Shego has it a lot harder than Drakken since she also actively broke out of prison, yes with help of other criminals but she still broke out. Drakken's case: he got abducted. In the end neither of them returned willingly back to prison so it's still bad. And since they're partners in crime, Drakken automatically gets a heavier punishment as well.

Secondly, I'm pretty sure Jack Hench wants monetary compensation. We can assume that Shego stole a lot of Hench Co.'s wares and resources. I think Jack will take a look at all the things that have been swiped and will put it on them even if some aren't stolen by them. Besides Hench, I also think some scientific organizations would go after them for the same reason.

Lastly, I'm sure some villains would turn their backs on them or start bothering them in some way or form. Trying to get info bout perhaps GJ through them or something. All in all that's my thoughts on it! Maybe I'll add more in the future!

EDIT: SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG. I THOUGHT I POSTED THE REPLY BUT TUMBLR ONLY SAVED THE DRAFT

List of dramas that I am watching or want to watch, just for personal record reasons:

Cdramas:

The ingenious one (36/36): this drama has blown me away so far with its incredibly nuanced and sharp writing, its love stories between all the major couples and the absolutely magnificent cinematography. FINISHED verdict: HIGHLIGHT drama of the year for me so far. Smart, engaging, complicated, peak romance of all sorts, just what the doctor ordered tbh (overly long review can be found in my tags). 9.5

Chang Feng Du (40/40): I did not realise how close to the end I was. This drama is very pleasant and I adore our mains, but sadly except for a few highlights (the early beating gjs put on himself, the destruction of the gu family and the aftermath, the battle for wangdu) the writing hasn’t been able to keep the narrative tension up which is sad. FINSHED verdict: Very pretty and engaging in the beginning kinda loses me in the second half and then fizzles out emotionally, doesn't crash and burn but doesn't exactly stick the landing either 6.5

Gone with the rain (10/30): adore the gremlin4gremlin couple and from the spoilers I’ve seen not gonna adore much else

An ancient love song (1/16): incredible first episode and with only 30 min per ep and 16 eps in total this is gonna be a short fun ride I hope ( with lots of angst and tears naturally).

Here we meet again (18/32): started this for Wu Qian playing to type and Zhang BinBin being pretty but oh boy I’m struggling I just don’t care about the conflicts and in s surprising twist, I like the flashbacks to high school much much more, which is very funny if you think about the fact that the reason I started liking wu qian in the first place was because of her show stealing performance in the flashbacks of My Sunshine. I’ve been promised kisses in the near future so I’m gonna hold out till then but this might end up another drop.

Hidden Love (5/25): this one promises to be v sweet and kinda short but oh my god I have so many dramas on my plate rn so this might end up the first drop.

Till the end of the moon (22/40): I think I watched ep 1 when it started but then I got busy and now I am just staring at gifsets and crying, it’s definitely on the list to watch tho.

Heroes (6?/38): I started this a while ago, was really into it and then got busy… dammit. I might just rewatch the beginning so I can remember most of the set up for sure but man the visuals on this were so good, aaaa liu yuning.

Blood of youth (0/40): the last 12 months really have spoiled us with interesting looking wuxia dramas and this one is definitely on the list, I have been gifbaited once again.

Ray of light (0/30): usually hs dramas are something I avoid, but because I will not be watching the longest promise, for reasons, and bc @storge is a gifmaking temptress, this has made it on the list.

The legend of anle (0/39): Lmao trust YOUKU to screw up the release with bad subs only 1 ep even for vips and no released schedule… but at least I can put this on the backburner for now. Lmao should have known not to trust a youku dilreba drama, the tl has soundingly spoken and I'm gonna avoid this.

Ancient Detective (0/24): I was recced this by a friend when I mentioned my love for wuxia dramas, and since it’s almost shockingly short for a cdrama it’s on the list. EDIT: this got @purplehanfus seal of approval so it is def going up the list and since it's complete I'll probably at least watch it before the ongoing ones.

Butterflied love (0/22): see I barely made this post and already forgot about the screencap that got me started on writing it, the screencapa look great, but the drama is on mango, so who knows when I’ll truly be able to watch this

When I fly towards you (0/24): Well, I wasn't interested bc modern youth drama, but then I heard it described as "updated It Started with a Kiss" and... I'm weak? ISWAK was pretty much my crack gateway into asian dramas and while IDK if i could rewatch it today, something in me will always love this kind of story. Maybe it's like a quick palate cleanser in between since apparently eps are only about 30 mins.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook(0/40): CHENG YIIIII, in a possibly bromantic role? Or maybe het romance, I'll take it all. Plus I've already seen he's bleeding copious amounts as per his contract, so that's most of the checklist done.

Lost You Forever (0/??): because nature abhors a vacuum I apparently must have?? A minimum to watch pile and this actually and genuinely looks good??? A Yang Zi drama in 2023??? The mind boggles. Anyway I've been reading the recaps with delight, and am def going to watch this when part two airs in a couple of months but until then I have a thankful reprieve...

Kdramas:

See you in my 19th life (4/12): since kdramas release so slowly this is on the backburner but it does have some great gifsets that keep enticing meee

King the land (2/16): I am watching this for junho but it is kinda hard bc I have so much else on my plate and while I don’t mind a classic romcom type story I feel I need a bit more of an emotional hook

Story of the nine-tailed 1938 (0/16): so so many gorgeous and hilarious gifsets so little time. I loved season one so so much and the fact that this focuses on the brotherly relationship?? Extremely smart writing decisions were made!

The red sleeve (0/16): I blame @dangermousie for this she keeps reblogging angsts junho on my dash and I am but god’s weakest warrior.

Love tractor (0/8): gay himbo farmboy falls in love?? You bet this is on the list

Lady durian (0/?): ok this is only on the list for crack reasons but, daughter in law is in love with mother in law and both women are like 40+ truly kdramas have entered a new era and I kinda wanna be here for that

EDIT: Revenant (0/12): Kim Tae Ri in a spooky drama? POSSIBLY POSSESSED KIM TAE RI??? how could i forget to put her on this list, plus it was written by the Kingdom writer and I adore that drama plus it's only 12 eps which is smart in this case so... let's hope i get to it at some point D:

My dearest (2/20): I checked this out because it's got pretty much everything going for it from a production standpoint and boy did the first two eps deliver. This has got 2 seasons though so I'll probably wait until the second season is airing, since it won't be too long till season 2 or so the internet tells me.

My lovely liar (0/16): minhyun learned to act and I wanna see it happen!!

Jdramas:

Our dining table (2/10): ok this category is gonna be a bit shorter bc I haven’t watched too much drama recently but omg the gifs for this I am just crying thinking about it they look so cute??

Jack o‘frost (0/6): people have recced it and it’s short so here it is.

Utsukushii kare s2 (0/4): Season 1 was an unexpected delight so I hope s2 works just as well.

She loves to cook and she loves to eat (0/10): the manga for this is amazing (and hungry making) so I hope this adaptation holds up.

Ok this list is in no way exhaustive (well except for me being exhausted just trying toward this down) and probably subject to change ( I haven’t even looked at thaidramas or twdramas I gotta stop for now) but hopefully this will keep me on the ball and maybe I can add to it whenever a new tempting gifset crosses my dash…

[iredreamer]

i've been trying to figure out why this season feels different and i think it's because we don't have the softness, the female gaze-ness of season 1. i don't know if it comes from the directing, the score, the editing but in season 1, during ann/anne scenes it almost felt like you were witnessing something you shouldn't because they were That intimate. or it was as if you were living those moments with them. season 2 hasn't had that affect so far, i think

I have to say that I completely agree with you. I think it comes both from the directing and the score, it’s a mix of those two things for me.

Definitely the directing is very very different and I do miss the “female gaze” from season one, that’s why I keep saying I want more close ups — I miss that closeness, delicacy, softness, intimacy — at the same time I understand why we’re not having it. It makes sense because that’s not necessarily what the Ann(e)s’ dynamic is right now. I do hope, once the Ann(e)s solve their issues, we go back to that emotional closeness. This first half of the season has really been Mariana centered and to some degree I understand why we have this overall sense of distance.

I can say that this forth episode had some interesting shots. This sequence being probably my absolute favourite of the whole episode:

Gentleman Jack, season 2 episode 4, dir. Amanda Brotchie

I love how here you can really feel the love. It’s almost a dreamlike sequence, the time slows down and it’s clear that, when the Ann(e)s are thinking about each other, they are in their own little world and nothing else matters but them.

This episode also had things I didn’t quite enjoy which I think contribute to the overall distant/cold vibe I’m generally getting from this season.

For example:

1. The decentered close ups from an upper angle are a big no-no for me.

Gentleman Jack, season 2 episode 4, dir. Amanda Brotchie

I don’t really understand this choice, it’s very "dramatic” and very on the nose, zero subtlety, it really screams “I'm uncomfortable”. These kind of shots also give off such a “procedural drama” vibe and I’m not sure that matches GJ’s vibe at all, they feel out of place in a show like this. It feels like you’re studying the characters, looking at them from such an advantage point... it’s weird.

I preferred way more the intense super close close ups of season one – usually they had that hand-camera quality, that human touch, that warmth.

Gentleman Jack, season 1 episode 2, dir. Sally Wainwright

Plus, really getting close and personal adds waaay more to the scene.  I find most of the shots this season to be very distant.

I mean... in the shot with Ann Walker we can feel the “drama” because the shot itself is visually dramatic, almost ominous, threatening, with the character being displaced, not at the centre, in a position of disadvantage. In the second one from S01E02 formality comes after, we’re witnessing a personal drama, and it’s really all on Anne’s face. And the shakiness of the camera adds value to Suranne’s performance. Which leads me to my second point...

2. I find camera movements to be quite “cold” this season. 

Camera movements are very very different from season one. Again, in season one we had more of a “human touch”. Often the camera was hand-held (or at least had that effect) and they really used that “shaky”, warm, human, imperfect quality the technique has to add texture to the whole scene, something I feel we completely lost this season.

Two examples – look at how the shots are not always in focus, but they do come into focus, slowly. They’re not always "formally” perfect. And all this plays a fundamental role in the feeling we get from a scene.

This time camera movements are very smooth, very stabilized, and I (personally) really don’t like this “stabilized“ effect. It’s all very “mechanical” and steady which, again, in my opinion doesn’t help creating a close, delicate, soft, intimate scene. You are not in an intimate space with the characters, they’re doing their own thing and you’re just watching them.

3. We’re not getting proper close ups.

Well, really nothing else to add – we got very few proper close ups and the ones we got were always to show distress or discomfort + camera movements don’t really contribute to make you feel close with the characters for the reasons I already explained in the pervious point.

Intimate scenes between the Ann(e)s are mostly shot with them facing each other in a symmetrical way. It creates such a distance. Just look at all the scenes they’ve had till now this season... most of them are shot like this. Episode one had more “intimate” scenes maybe (I’m thinking about their last scene together in the bedroom).

I’m particularly sad we didn’t get a close up shot and reverse shot for this scene for example.

I think this scene would have been a great opportunity to really get close and personal with them – there is emotional distance between them because things are not going well, yes, but I would have loved to actually see it on their faces instead of...this.

Of course there are shots and scenes that I’ve loved this season – the Rievaulx Abbey scene in episode one is probably my absolute favourite till now, it had that epicness to it – but they’re few and far between. I’m not saying that quality has gone down – absolutely not – everything is still so good, it’s just that with the turn they’ve taken with directing the whole thing does have kind of a different vibe...

I think the aesthetic of season one really added value to the show – and I do believe it was Sally’s merit, she directed the first three episodes (and the last one) and she set the tone beautifully. The choices she made in directing gave the show a distinctive, cohesive look and really created this connection with the viewer. There was no distance between Anne and us, opposed to this season in which I feel the directing does create quite a distance between her and us.

Anyway, this turned out long af – bottom line is that I agree with you and really if there is a thing I’m not enjoying as much as I did in season one is the directing this season.

I want Sally back –

i miss this

praying every single saint in heaven that we’ll get something more introspective and intimate in the next episodes.

So what happens when you mix a bookworm wanting to become a confident and sexy woman, with a Jill that's want to be big and strong? Well, you have quite the bodily conflict that lead to the current version of Fukawa that stands today.

Using her best selling book's funds to grant her the best of surgeries she could afford, Toko was indeed a much sexier version of herself~ Her lips were now plumper she coated them with dark purple lipstick, her once flat chest went up to impressive D cups that she showed off in the tightest of shirts, and she now had buns that could shake the world if she should choose...

All of that contrasting with how tall and bulky she was. Dipping into said funds when she could, Genocide Jack had managed to increase their body's height to a whopping nine feet! But that's not all, thanks to a workout regiment from both Hina and Nekomaru, Jill had their body incredibly ripped with rocking abs, thighs and arms!!! Such bulk the crazed girl had no issues in her usage of finding cute boys to hunt down and love~

So, altogether, you now had a writing prodigy with incredible curves with enough strength to ensure no one she fancies will ever be able to slip from her grasp again...and given their new appearance? No one would want to~
