selfie points, custom red envelope, joint celebration rumors & AU pairings 🧧🎉🎉

happy CNY to all of you! it’s a happy day for the fandom and not even because of candies— but due to fans making so many content as new year gifts. i have personally enjoyed the photos and video edits of AU pairings. you can check this round-up for the links of those posts so you can enjoy all of it 🫶🏼

the best way to start this post is to clown over xz’s CNY selfie. this is usual for zz, posting one during this day and every year, we tend to speculate over it so this is a tradition already. lol. anyway, i wanna explain more on the caption and the exclamation he was using: 龘龘龘龘！

thank you to baidu for explaining and it makes sense now why he used it: 龘 (pronounced as dá, ㄉㄚˊ [7] ) is a Chinese character with the radical dragon, a variant of "龖" , and the meaning of the character refers to the shape of a flying dragon.

dragon fits because it’s the year of the dragon and he also used an emoji for that. his hand was also posed as the claw of a dragon. 🐲

now back to candies related to this selfie...

people are saying that this was taken using his wechat camera and in selfie mode. which, like what we usually cpn, is because he was sending it to someone else. what we got is another leftover selfie. another one is what’s drawn/reflected in his eye? if you’ve been here long enough, you may be familiar with people saying that ZZ will edit his eyes to show something else. there were examples before that were kinda believable but i personally think it’s a stretch. xz is definitely an artist who loves to hide things in his art, which includes his photos so it is probable. i just don’t know how far he will take it. what fans are comparing it to as possible reference are the two: happy camp hand stand or a photo of wyb in SDC 6.

my favorite part tho is the second photo shared. i always feel like if xz is only giving us 2 photos, then it means something. the selfie makes sense— but the other one? i actually expected him to share a photo of food that he is eating. anyway, it’s a winterberry ( one of it’s names ) and is a known means health and longevity, no illness or disaster, suitable for decorating during spring festival it is believed to bring happiness and good luck.

this is seen frequently in relation to ZZ:

One old cpn we have is that WYB gives him this in bouquets for his filming wrap up events knowing that he likes it. maybe not exactly how it looks but what it means. most popular being during OOL. He posted a different bouquet from what was given to him by the crew as per the wrap up bts video 👀 so why? what’s so important? was he trying to make someone happy? that is mostly explained in the last part of this post.

the speculation is he included that because wyb gave it to him. or that he gifted it to WYB, who took a photo of it and sent it back to him so he is sharing as well. wait… where did we get that idea? 🤔

again, another galaxy brain observation… the wall. it’s not the most unique kind of wall and it’s hard to tell in wyb’s video— but this video went on HS today as wyb’s new year greeting. so it kinda makes sense that gg will use that clue. wherever this was taken, probably wyb’s office, that’s where he placed the flowers. mister photographer wyb then took a photo and sent it to zz to show his appreciation for it.

lastly, a tiny clue from yibo-official is the emoji they used for their cny greeting. does it look familiar????

AHHHHHHH! What a coincidence!!!! 👀

to add this “emoji clue” in his photo that includes this hat. this freakin hat that launched a ton of cpn posts. interesting….

NEXT IS YBO’s custom red envelope cover for this year. They also did this last year, which we also clowned over.

black panther is something that in this fandom is widely accepted cpn was made by xz. and it’s still there. the panther looks like he has something that looks like what xz wore and drew before. also those personal connections to wyb like the 85 and skateboard, which i understand is a common yibo element and anyone can just add it. personally, i think xz did the panther on the shoulder only. 🤍

I will lightly discuss the rumor going around cpfs, especially the morning of 2/9 when cpfs have noticed that both zz and wyb have turned off their ip address locator on douyin. this usually means they don’t want people to know where they are. there are rumors that zz’s parents already arrived in Hengdian the night before 2/8 and that wyb + his parents are also going to HD so the whole joint family can spend CNY together ♥️

tho i have to say HD is a populated place, but i feel like most people will have the day off and the two are so careful so they won’t get caught. Treat this as fanfic for now. if this is true, we will clues in the next months. that’s just how turtle cpns go.

-END.

apparently my mom is telling people i’m trans now. which would be FINE if she bothered to, say, TELL ME ABOUT IT?????

And I’m going to take a wild shot in the dark and call that whatever she’s telling them isn’t painting me in a flattering light.

veilguard endgame spoilers:

hammers and bricks! eshka w hammers and bricks to beat solas to death !

jokes aside I think there’s something very sad about how she would choose the irrational and lasting angry choice to kill him or bind him to the veil against his will because the betrayal she should have seen coming did, in fact, happen. she thought it might be different, that they had come to a point of mutual understanding and respect. But no. He would use her as a tool while crying and lamenting about the sacrifices needed to soothe his own regrets.

In her eyes, he has the gall to be upset over such things, and she’s tired of it. Eshka voice to herself: aren’t you tired? don’t you wanna just go apeshit?

so she’s angry—blatantly so, and undisguised in her rage and frustration at solas. there is no being nice to him, because in the end he never cared about her. (deep down the anger is a cover for the hurt of the betrayal and her shame at having trusted him. both are very powerful motivators for her).

maybe i’m just upset, but luis enrique is celebrating a little too hard for managing against barça in our house.

[juniperhillpatient]

I would honestly rather these people just say “you’re rejected” & leave it at that than explain why if the criticism is going to make no fucking sense & be something I can’t even fix anyway. but that might just be the part of me that absolutely cannot handle rejection well at all & decided to pursue a goal that involves a lot of rejection by nature anyway

Scar & big B (plus grian for angst purposes) and their connections with cookies: a late night rant

Scar bakes chocolate chip cookies for grian because he’s always said that grian looks like one. He gifts it to him occasionally. Grian sometimes makes it back as well, and if one of them’s feeling goofy, they make them in shape of their faces or of jellies.

Scar brings over the habit to the life series from hermitcraft, he stole big b’s cookie in third life so he could have the biggest chocolate chip cookie to bring to grian. Kinda like a cat bringing their owner food lol.

CUE TO DOUBLE LIFE.

Scar bakes even more often batches of cookies and even sometimes mixing in with cupcakes that resemble grian’s cake tower. Though grian also started receiving cookies from big b with their whole secret soulmate ordeal. Grian and B sees it as this secret trade between them and scar was a bit sad when he found out.

So during the whole “they’re for your secret soulmate” scene, what scar had were actually raisin cookies instead of chocolate chip. When usually scar would place the chocolate chips in a specific way that resembled grian’s eyes, this time around it was just normal cookies. The raisins placed randomly.

(I’m not really on board that much with the “grian’s cheating on scar because he feels bad about hurting him” thing but god I can sure think of a lot of sad angst that comes from it so I have the brainrot but not gonna put it as my own interpretation. )

Though after double life ends the three talked about it, YES THEY’RE NOT AS TOXIC AS BEFORE!! THEY’RE MAKING PROGRESS IN COMMUNICATION!! YAY!

Limited life!

Scar and big b actually started trading cookie recipes as a result of their initial little alliance and big b being the one who’s known grian longer actually gave away little hints in interactions with scar that grian is way more powerful than he seems. (“Little hints” being dropping a literal bombshell on scar about grian’s past wild things like it’s a normal conversation) however scar at this point already figured out way more than he should know so he just pretends to not realise the little hints lol.

Secret life!

With scar and big b being semi-neighbours, they sometimes will stop by at each others’ places (aside from big b’s uh… hole) and make cookie batches together! At this point they’ve slowly moved pass double life’s events (with random moments of awkwardness but they’re making an effort to be friends with each other instead of being associated with grian by the all the time) sometimes they show up at grian’s to let him taste test new recipes that they came up with for different sweets and baked goods (branching out from cookies a little). Overall healing.

This was originally gonna be a wholesome desertduo headcanon about how they are connected by cookies but uh

Can you tell I want more Scar and BigB interactions?? CAN YOU???
