to my exo, who never failed to shine the brightest even in the darkest night, who stood tall amidst everything that has happened, who remained humble and kind even after receiving countless awards, I’m truly thankful for having known you in this life. I have no regrets spending a decade a year with all of you and I’d gladly spend a lifetime more with you all. I love you all, my youth and my home. My loveliest human beings who never failed to make me the happiest. Happy 11th Anniversary, my loves 💖
I didn't know that I would feel this empty after you leaving Egypt!! 😭🥹 Can you come again Sehunaa and bring the whole EXO members too 🥺 My only wish now is to go to a concert and see all of you guys 🥹🥹
K.E.R.B will once in a while indulge in the eye candy that Kpop and Kdrama offer. These men just mesmerises us with their insane looks, ethereal features and clothing fit for royalty.
K.E.R.B wants to indulge in their royal beauty because clothes do ‘maketh a man’

Wu Xie contemplates mortality. That this also involves contemplating a sleeping Liu Sang is the silver lining in a rather depressing cloud.
Look at these little sleeping beans, aren't they cute. Good thing nothing bad will ever happen to them.
Wu Xie sneaks out alone to continue his quest, as if every single person present isn't 100% expecting him to do that.
This is the closest I could get in still image of capturing the stupidly adorable little smile Liu Sang gives as he catches up with Wu Xie - part smugness at Wu Xie's inability to sneak past his hearing, part resigned amusement at Wu Xie himself.
As Liu Sang acknowledges that Wu Xie is in the final stages of his disease, and Wu Xie says he knows he won't be allowed to go alone, the elements oblige with thematically appropriate rainfall.
Wu Xie asks Liu Sang to get the others out safely and not follow him. He pats Liu Sang's shoulder as he leaves, which has approximately the same affect that it would have on a lonely rescue dog.
Liu Sang watches him walk off with the rest of the Iron Triangle and tries to figure out where he went wrong and started Having Emotions.
Bai Haotian wakes up and realizes Wu Xie is gone. Liu Sang looks guilty (and extremely pretty).
…that's right. Break it to her tactfully.
I'm sorry, how am I supposed to pay attention to plot when he's sitting here being this pretty?!?!
23:52-24:34
Liu Sang and the others watch from a distance as Boss Jiao discovers their recently-vacated hideout, right before Hei Xiazi leads Boss Jiao's men away to try to give the others time to escape.
28:26-32:25
It… does not work. Everything is terrible and everyone is bound and on their knees and Hei Xiazi and Liu Sang stare at each other and intently say each others' names. The author would say that this awoke something in her but let's face it, that happened several episodes ago.
If Liu Sang had a dime for every time he is tied up and sees his team-mates taken out in front of him, he would have TWENTY CENTS TOO MUCH. (Good thing they were only SUPERFICIAL WOUNDS and everyone involved is COMPLETELY OKAY at the end of the series.)
At least this time he has a little more leverage, and bargains his cooperation to help find Thunder City for Xiao Bai's life.
The one silver lining is that we get treated to his 'ooooh parceling that new trauma away for later because for right now screw you' expression.
The author just wants to hug everybody, and it's only gonna get worse from here!
Next time: Blood is like drama-mouthwash, right?

Blood Spitting Cheng Yi part 2 since i feel like Love and Redemption deserved naturally a post for the amount of blood spitting in it, but ofc i had to include some other iconic Cheng Yi drama blood spittings-

kpop and asian drama tumblr has some of the best and most creative content creators and i love so many of them. there are gif makers, video editors, authors and more on this list but i still forgot at least 200 people.
What if you *were* in charge of designating Yunmeng shuangjie posts for historical preservation? What other posts would you pick?
re these tags about how i am NOT in charge of this nor should i be
okay first of all, i'm touched that you value my opinion. second, you're making me choose??? RUDE. third, thank you for giving me a way to procrastinate my actual work today, because my job is boring but you know what's not boring? yunmeng shuangjie. suck it, employer!
i went through my yunmeng bros tag but there are over 450 posts in there and i found myself going "oh yes this one definitely" about every four posts or so, and at some point i was like okay babygirl you are not gonna answer this ask by linking to over one hundred posts, i refuse to let you do that. so i forced myself to pick a more reasonable number and then ruthlessly culled the list until i simply could not bring myself to remove any of the remaining. which means this is not at ALL comprehensive or exhaustive, it's just...idk, the last ymsj posts i would jettison if my life depended on lightening my ship??? (in this scenario i'm on a ship in a storm or something. and tumblr posts are heavy. just go with it.) (also, i had to make the executive decision to exclude fic, for my sanity.) (again, can't stress enough how little suited i am to this endeavor. please put someone else in charge!!)
