#all of us clowns on here

xavier falls asleep easily enough as he is, but whenever he has his head on your lap, your fingers combing through his hair—all he can do is just sigh and give in. closing his eyes, he knows better than to fight the temptation, especially within the comfort of your touch and pleasant weather. though admittedly, he will find any weather pleasant as long there is you, safe and close to his side. as he slowly drifts to sleep, he dully notes with a hum when you praise his hair. he will do his best to make sure he will also praise your features after he is awake. he could think of so many to say—your smile, your voice, your whole being. and maybe, he will also give a kiss on your forehead and lips too—he thinks before finally falling asleep.

zayne loves many parts of you, from the one that often surprises him most to the one that offers him a comforting mundanity. so, when you press your forehead to his and call his eyes beautiful, he knows himself enough to just accept your words in silence with a smile. a burst of adoration and more blossomed warmly, weighing his chest and dizzying his head instantly. he is tongue-tied, certainly, however, he too can't exactly find the words to tell you how much more beautiful yours are to him. or perhaps, he doubts there are any words to describe what he truly feels. though, for now, he will settle with a gentle squeeze from his hands to tell you as he presses back his forehead gently against yours.

rafayel gets flustered pretty easily sometimes. it is both adorable and funny, seeing the way his ears turn red as his usually chatty mouth closes with a pout-like expression. but, even this state he could never take his hands off you. you could keep kissing his face, neck, and chest—right over his beauty mark—while hugging him without a clear rhyme and reason, and like a true lovesick man he will let you. hands resting on your arm, stilled in his brand of rare shyness all while still clinging unto you out of his obvious fondness. of course, even if he does enjoy this, he will come back with a vengeance the moment he gathers himself.

maybe i'm a bitch but if i hear you go out of your way to judge someone's weight, i immediately lose trust in you & will probably forever find you a little unbearable . yes also the little floating bar over my head will start reading [hostile]. this is natural and u caused it.

NOVEMBER 19 : The Full Story 📝

oh well sort of, cause this is what is known and shared publicly with tons of filling in the blanks by cpfs. someone made a side by side incidents during this day and time for the past years 2017 to now 2023 and it’s good to see it all laid out. it’s hilarious to see the realization among turtles that we could be wrong about their anniversary date. for years, we always talked about the month of June but now, November is making a great argument 😂

( these freakin masterminds are so naughty! I swear!!! 🤣🤣🤣 )

source of the compilation i’m using to outline is 圣衣雪琳 cause they perfectly summed up the key points very well. I already talked about some of these in my previous post but this is for the “11/19 lore” exclusively and so we can expand on other years.

I’m a sucker for timelines so let’s go 💪🏼

2017: At this time, they already know of each other and depending on who you ask might have already been low key stalking the other. LOL. WYB’s was about Just Dance and ZZ is a selfie and hotpot ; the latter post about going home.

I don’t think that this holds much significance in terms of an actual relationship and stuff happening behind the scenes. However, it feels like fate that they both posted on this day even without that significance being there. We cpfs love to talk about how they are fated and certain things, no matter how mundane, turned out to be a piece that completed the puzzle. There is some push back with some turtles saying this shouldn’t be included cause it seems like the start of this 11/19 is 2018 but again, just leaving this here. I could probably add 2015/2016 if we really wanna back track lol

2018: THIS IS THE KEY CPN IN ALL OF THIS. I have already explained it here. The infamous Japan trip. How both of them seemingly making references to their post from this year vs today (2023) especially XZ who even posted on the same time. There are so many rumors about this timeline, even going as far as saying the next day, they started living together. How this was WYB saying it’s WYB, not LWJ. So the relationship they have now is not between fictional characters but the real one.

I’m eating this candy whole. No one can tell me otherwise. I’m sold 🤣🤣🤣

Have we been wrong? did they officially become together 11/19/2018. Some are even pointing out that one of GG’s photos shared today appears to be him traveling back from IM to Beijing.

and who is in Beijing? His home. Yibo. 🏡

We love to think about them sharing photos to each other and i’m imagining this is ZZ sending something similar to WYB and saying that he is on his way back.

2019: Bazaar video was released, it’s message being a favorite among BXGs. Going by the assumption that this is their anniversary of sorts, it makes sense to have a message like that to be delivered.

how he met his love in a dream ( presumably that summer and playing wwx opposite wyb’s lwj ) and when he woke up, his love is still there. meaning even in reality, he still feels the same. no. it was not scripted, the one who shot it said it was xz’s answer and he was shocked too.

They posted some work related stuff on that day, with WYB’s being audi’s. the part of the caption we are clowning about is : Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Which in the original post and context is about the benefits you will get if you buy an Audi. but in cpn speak it could mean that ZZ probably forget, but he actually didn’t cause that bazaar love confession was clear.

2020: I already talked in detail over here #2 with was going on at the time.

It’s also the start of the whole Thursday is a good day to see you, in reference to WYB’s vogue post. Then it snowballed into a whole CPN of it’s own.

I forgot to add one important thing tho, around this time 11/18 there schedules were public and both are supposed to go back to Beijing. WYB was from Hangzhou and ZZ was from Nanjing. The incident of WYB changing his flight 3x so he can go back to Beijing is this time 11/18. We clowned that he was so eager to be in the same city with ZZ but with what we think now, it could be he wanted them to be together badly because it’s their anniversary the next day 11/19. 🤯

2021: Both of them posting a Douyin video that involves changing clothes. Which is a very common transition trend on the app but seeing it done on the same day was a treat and unusual. GG’s was posted 11/17 and WYB was 11/19.

I wanna remind people too that this is the same month we got the mysterious “voices” both in Shenzhen Vlog ( his husband wang yibo ) and talks of ZZ being at the Luoyang press conference filming. The same month the whole Ximalaya CPN started too. So they were definitely “acting up”.

2022: No actual posts but a parallel. 11/17, Guangdian appeared on the itunes chart because of fan’s effort. 11/18, WYB released a song ( government related ) called Light Chaser. So spotlight = light chaser has similar element and theme of light. Then on 11/20 WYB’s shared a douyin with 👀.

2023: Probably making up for how quiet last year was, they decided to give us a big hint/s of what 11/19 is all about. 😂😂😂

This is all fake and cpn talk. I do enjoy when candies go years back! This journey of trying to piece things together is a bxg’s strength so we’re really thriving today— with all the possibly unrelated events we have managed to stitch together into this! 🙃

[introspectivememories]

shanks and buggy denden au where:

the crew kinda splits up in the 2 year gap before roger's death and in an effort to make sure their sons cabin boys are alright, rayleigh puts them on the ship denden plan

so their little apt in loguetown has two dendens, one in the living room and one in their bedroom

they use it all the time. to call oden and toki, to call spencer. even to call roger, hoping that he'll pick up. (he never does)

phone calls are nice but nothing beats talking face to face and visual dendens are on the market they're just super fuckin expensive and both shanks and buggy are saving up for one. it'll be nice to see momo amd hiyori again.

anyway the execution happens and then the loguetown breakup and they pack up their apt in complete silence, each of them taking one denden.

(it'll be a decade and a half before they see each other again.)

they both expect the phone plan to just get cancelled but one day the mail seagull comes to them with a denden bill. turns out, the pirates denden company just grandfathered them into the old plan.

and you know what? it's not like they have any money and this plan is cheaper than all the other plans the company offers so they keep it. they get two separate numbers for the both of them and they dont think about it.

they decided to alternate the months they paid after one very terse call. or that was the plan but shanks is sooo forgetful all the fucking time and he never pays his denden bill on time. it ends up being buggy paying 8 months out of the year and shanks paying the other 4

(benn ends up setting up auto pay 5 years into traveling with shanks. what? it's not like they're broke.)

anyway buggy ends up becoming the terror of the east blue and shanks goes onto become an emperor and still neither of them change their numbers. they don't have the heart to.

and it's not something they consciously think about but sometimes when buggy gets drunk enough, he'll pull out his old ass denden book and trace his fingers over shanks' number. and if shanks is drunk enough he'll get halfway through dialing buggy's number before his brain catches up to what he's doing and stopping

anyway skip to marineford, and shanks is giving buggy a ride back to his ship. when they finally arrive at the island buggy's ship was docked on, both crews decide to throw a "im so fucking glad we lived through that/ captain buggy's the greatest!" party

buggy desperately tries to avoid shanks and shanks is literally holding himself back from looking for buggy but the party goes on and they get drunker and eventually they gravitate towards each other.

bc of course they do. they were shanksandbuggy, buggyandshanks, long before they were part of their respective crews. so they both sneak away from the party and they end up in shanks' room, with shanks sitting on the bed and buggy on his lap, curled around each other.

it feels just like their apt all those years ago. all those quiet nights on their fourth-hand couch, that they spent curled together -- buggy reading a book and shanks quietly talking his ear off.

(it was easier then. those two years where they had an apt together and the air was still heavy with the scent of hope. it was smth to look forward to -- 2 years and then captain will come back and there will be new adventures!

shanks got a job at the docks and buggy tried at least 17 different jobs before settling at a bookstore. and he'd go to work early in the morning and come back late at night to buggy in his hoodie, making dinner, ranting about rude customers.

and on weekends they'd both sleep in and cook breakfast together. or well buggy would cook breakfast, shanks would sit on the countertops and make buggy laugh. and then they'd spend the day inside or go out to eat. and it was good. better than good even. shanks could almost see why people stayed on land.

and then the execution happens and their father's blood stains the cobblestones crimson red and they seperate and then just as quickly as it started, it ends.)

that's when buggy notices the denden.

🤡: you still have that thing? 🍶: yes of course 🤡: and your number is still the same? 🍶: ....yeah. you? 🤡: yeah, never changed it. 🍶: why'd you keep it all these years?

and buggy may be drunk and his inhibitions may be lowered but he's still buggy at heart so he gives some bullshit answer

🤡 looking away: it was cheaper

and shanks knows he's fucking lying bc it may have been years since he last saw buggy but who knows buggy better than he does? who knows shanks better than buggy does?

🍶: c'mon bugs, tell me the truth. why'd ya keep it all these years? 🤡 unwilling to give in first: why'd you keep it all these years? 🍶: because i kept hoping that you'd be on the other end.

and buggy is floored.

🤡: .... what? 🍶: i kept hoping that if i kept my number the same, you'd call one day. 🍶: i can't tell you how many times i've picked up the denden, hoping it was you on the other end. 🍶, laughing sadly: i kept it all these years because of you. and you never called, not once. 🍶, cupping 🤡 face with his hand: why'd you never call bugs?

shanks is tearing up and buggy has already started the waterworks

🤡, sniffling: you knew where i was. why didn't you ever come and see me? 🍶: can you honestly say that you would've seen me? you probably would've told me to leave. so i stayed away. 🤡 hitting 🍶on the chest: idiot! i probably would've called at some point if you had came to me. but you never did and i just took it as a sign that anything we had was done and over. 🍶, grabbing 🤡 hands and staring into his eyes: how could you ever think we'd be done and over? it's only ever been you for me. only you. 🤡, full on crying by this point: idiot, idiot, idiot!

they're both curled over each other sobbing into each other's shoulder bc they could've had this the entire time but they were too fucking stupid

🍶: why'd you keep the denden, bugs? 🤡: haven't you figured it out by now? it was the only thing i had left of you. 🍶: you're such a fuckin sap, bugs. 🤡, blushing: shut up

9-1-1 7x10 speculations

So! With the stills that came out today, and mildly silently freaking out because I was at work, I have many thoughts!

So tentative timeline at the beginning of the episode.

Eddie and Buck talking / Madney talking with Hen -> Eddies Parents arriving -> Buck and Tommy's date night / Bathena house fire -> Hospital -> Athena investigating the fire ->Chris going back to Texas

I think it will start with the aftermath of Chris and Marisol discovering Kim. So I feel like Marisol dumping Eddie's ass and Chris locking himself in his room will be off-screen and Eddie is gonna be explaining everything to Buck in the aftermath because we see him gesticulating wildly and running his hand through his hair about why Buck is trying to understand what happened

The only thing that I am unsure of is why the Diaz Parents are in town? But I feel like it was a surprise that they show up at Eddie's house, and they stumble upon this situation and Eddie has no choice but to explain what happened, especially when you see the still where I'm pretty sure Eddie is showing a picture of Kim.

I also feel like Buck will try to talk to Chris and Chris will angrily say that his Dad is a hypocrite because he is dating two women, paralleling how Chris got the talk on how he is a player at the beginning of the season by dating multiple girls.

After that Buck gotta leave because of date night with Tommy and Eddie insists that he leave to make it in time.

So date night is going well, but oh no! Buck receives a call from the Hospital? May? Chim? about how Bobby and Athena are in the hospital. Tommy drives Buck to the hospital because he physically cannot.

Eddie also gets the call from another member of the 118 and leaves Chris with his parents to go to the hospital too.

The Madney and Hen scene will happen at the same time as the Buck and Eddie aftermath scene. Henren probably got good news from Deidre/the judge about how Mara's adoption will go forward despite the councilwomen's attempt to block it. You see Madney and Hen smiling throughout the stills of that scene.

Then when Hen is going to social services or the courtroom, she'll get a call about Bobby from a member of the 118.

Athena's still shows that it will be after the events we see in the promo. Athena is gonna find out where Amir lives and she will confront him. Sorry guys, I really feel like she pulls her gun on Amir while showing whatever it is in her hand because she feels convinced that it is Amir who sets fire to her house after how Amir reacted when he was in her home last episode. Amir is going to say something that convinces Athena that it is not him because he is a red herring!!

Anyways, going back to the stills. One of the last scenes is how Chris announces to Eddie that he will be going back to Texas with his grandparents for the summer because he is so mad at him. Eddie stricken by all the events, will let him go back. But before Chris goes, Eddie will say to his son how he loves him that he is gonna work on himself, that he can call anytime, and that he will do his best to answer, because you know, work. Buck will also be there to see off Chris. Other theories that are floating in my head:

The Cartel that Herman is part of is responsible for the Bathena fire. The propane tanks are set up for a criminal fire! And it doesn't feel like it's Amir. Even if we see Amir angry about how Bobby has a family, I don't think he is vengeful.

The 118 will be split up at the end of the season and Captain Gerrard will take the place of Bobby as interim captain, while Bobby is recovering. Because I am 99% sure that Bobby will survive his heart attack and will come back in season 8 as Captain after recovering and going to more therapy!

Anyways, back to the interim: Even if Hen was a hero in the cruise disaster, she did disobey orders from Chief Simson and will be penalized. At the same time, the councilwoman or someone else will see how the 118 is too close as a team, too family-like, and someone doesn't like it and will take to the appropriate people to disperse the 118 across various fire stations in LA except for Buck and Ravi. In turn, Eddie will feel isolated just like Ryan said in the interviews, and will spiral in between seasons.

I feel like the still with Chief Simson will announce any of the ideas in the above paragraph.

Interesting tidbit. We see Eddie reading from the prayer book in Bobby's hospital room with Buck beside him.

To end all of this: Buck and Tommy are thriving! ✨ Even with all the failed dates we have been seeing!

So! With the stills that came out today, and silently freaking out because I was at work, I have many thoughts!

So here is my tentative timeline at the beginning of the episode.

Quick rundown:

Eddie and Buck talking / Madney talking with Hen -> Eddies Parents arriving -> Buck and Tommy's date night / Bathena house fire -> Hospital -> Athena investigating the fire / the 118 at Bobby’s bedside ->Chris going back to Texas

The details:

Eddie/Buck scene:

I think it will start with the aftermath of Chris and Marisol discovering Kim. Marisol will be dumping Eddie's ass and Chris will be locking himself in his room will be off-screen and Eddie is gonna be explaining everything to Buck in the aftermath. We see him gesticulating wildly at Buck and running his hand through his hair about in the stills. Buck tries to understand what happened and will counter-argument on the actions that he did while also being compassionate about the situation.

The only thing that I am unsure of is why the Diaz Parents are in town… But I feel like it is a surprise that they show up at Eddie's house, and they stumble upon this situation. Eddie has no choice but to explain what happened, and shows a picture of Kim. Helena reacts to how similar Shannon and Kim are. Understandably, Ramon and Helena are disappointed in their son, but hopefully they are compassionate about the whole thing even if it is wrong. 

I also feel like Buck will try to talk to Chris and Chris will angrily say that his Dad is a hypocrite because he is dating two women, paralleling how Chris got the talk at the beginning of the season on how it is wrong to be dating multiple girls.

Buck/Tomy scene:

After all of that, Buck gotta leave because of date night with Tommy and Eddie insists that he leave to make it in time.

So date night is going well, but oh no! Buck receives a call from the Hospital? May? Chim? about how Bobby and Athena are in the hospital. Tommy drives Buck to the hospital because he physically cannot.

Eddie also gets the call from another member of the 118 and leaves Chris with his parents to go to the hospital too.

Madney/Hen scene:

The Madney and Hen scene will happen at the same time as the Buck and Eddie aftermath scene. Henren probably got good news from Deidre/the judge about how Mara's adoption will go forward despite the council women's attempt to block it. You see Madney and Hen smiling throughout the stills of that scene.

Then when Hen is going to social services or the courtroom, she'll get a call about Bobby from a member of the 118.

Athena:

The Athena stills show that scenes that are shown will be after the events we see in the promo. Athena is gonna find out where Amir lives and she will confront him. Sorry guys, I really feel like she pulls her gun on Amir while showing whatever it is in her hand. She feels convinced that it is Amir who sets fire to her house after how Amir reacted when he was in her home last episode. Amir is going to say something that convinces Athena that it is not him because he is a red herring to mislead us all!!

Chris/Eddie

I’m pretty sure that one of the last scenes in the episode will be when Chris announces to Eddie that he will be going back to Texas with his grandparents for the summer because he is so mad at him. Eddie, stricken by all the events, will let him go back. But before Chris goes with his grandparents, Eddie will say to his son how he loves him, that he is gonna work on himself, and that he can call anytime, Buck will also be there to see off Chris as seen in the stills and provide support and comfort. Other theories that are floating in my head:

The Cartel that Herman is part of is responsible for the Bathena fire. The propane tanks are too well set up! And it doesn't feel like it's Amir. It is too well organized, although I don’t feel like Amir is a sloppy guy, but still not him. Even if we see Amir angry about how Bobby has a family, I don't think he is vengeful enough to try and kill Bobby and Athena. When Bobbys truck was stolen by the cartel, the cartel probably found his insurance stored in the truck because everyone does that, including me, and found his address through those papers. And then set up the fire during the night.

I am 99% sure that Bobby will survive his heart attack and will come back in season 8 as Captain after recovering and going to more therapy!

The 118 will be split up at the end of the season and Captain Gerrard will take the place of Bobby as interim captain, while Bobby is recovering. 

Even if Hen was a hero in the cruise disaster, she did disobey orders from Chief Simpson and will be penalized. Chief Simpson appointing Captain Gerrard as interim Captain for the 118 instead of Hen is her punishment. To go even further, I feel like the councilwomen is angry that Henren adoption went through, and she pulled strings and also whispered in Chief Simpson ear saying the 118 is too close to each other, too family-like, and that it would be better that they separate the 118 across various fire stations in LA except for Buck and Ravi, who stays at the 118. In turn, because the 118 is dispersed across the city, Eddie will feel isolated just like Ryan said in the interviews, and will spiral  and maybe understand himself more in between seasons.

I feel like the still with Chief Simpson will announce any of the ideas in the above paragraph.

It doesn’t go in the theories of 7x10, but I feel I should include it here. When Bobby felt the metal being heavy on his chest when he was talking to his father in his dream in 7x09, it was a sign that he was starting to have a heart attack. Because of his father waking him up and the adrenaline of saving Athena from the fire, it staved off the heart attack long enough to get outside of the house.

Interesting tidbit: We see Eddie reading from the prayer book in Bobby's hospital room with Buck beside him.

To end all of this: Buck and Tommy are thriving! ✨

I'm starting to have theories for season 8, but that is another post for another day!

Oh boy I sure do hope Vash telling a poor child that doesn't believe in god and is about to be tortured, experimented on, and deeply dehumanized by a cult that he (Vash) will save him (the kid), and then can't, all while in front of a big wrapped up cross that looks like the one Wolfwood carries isn't foreshadowing!

BJYX - Thursday Madness ( 12/7/23 )

I don’t know what’s with this date that they both decided to attack us with updates. We were prepared for WYB, because the event was planned tho he still surprised us with some bits. I swear when I saw the alert on my phone for XZS update I was 🫢🫢🫢. They are both feeding us so well.

Here’s my attempt at doing a recap of the candies ( and other things ) we got today. This may not be all inclusive, I only added the popular ones being talked about.

let this lovely boy invite you in….

Our day started pretty early when WYB posted on his Weibo. All of the attendees of the event were actually sharing some pre show photos on their accounts and some of us were waiting what’s he gonna post. Everyone else were sharing professional photos but then WYB goes ahead and shares a b&w photo that tells us he is still in bed 😂😂😂 this bitch. I also feel like he didn’t want to shoot outside the exclusive “town” cause there are people going around and they may crowd if he does opening shooting. The night he arrived, 12/6, everyone saw Lele / Yanyan around but no WYB. So he was really trying to not be seen unless it was time for the show.

The photo itself is kinda mysterious tbh. It’s like something you can send to your s/o and be — “im waiting for you” HAHAHAHAHA! Tho I think for WYB he can send a more explicit one to XZ 🫢🫢🫢 So we get the PG version. What we noticed is the channel he is tuned in is CCTV 5. He said this in an interview with XZ, that when he is alone, he keeps the TV open with CCTV 5 and Volume 3. So he’s still doing it! Also, this was taken using his Leica M11 b&w. I feel so happy knowing that! He is still on his photography hobby. Too bad he couldn’t go around the venue cause i bet there are lots of sights to see. The Leica CPN is only getting stronger. ☺️ ( I have already talked about the Leica CPN at length, so just search it on my blog ). Side note, even if the photo was so simple it went on HS #7 lol. His power.

Then it was time for WYB to make his appearance and he didn’t disappoint. First of all, he was in YELLOW. BXG color. Yeah, it could be a stylist choice or whatever. But this is a clowning space and I think we are free to interpret it as a sign for us.

But what’s more glaring is his hat. It looks so much like the one he wore at CQL concert & fan meet. Also reminds us of the whole One Piece CPN between them ( the post i’m linking is a starter but there has been more examples since like this one ).

To be fair, WYB is someone who loves a good old hat/cap. from his bucket hats & caps — that is more for anonymity. It also extends to his performances like 11/11 finesse or the initial photoshoot for ROMW. What i’m saying is, we should not forget the fact that this is his personal preference as well and not entirely because of candy. Tho I have to say that the style is interesting. Why does it have to be so close to that? It’s like he is bringing us back memory lane.

WYB is honestly so beautiful today. He always is but there was something about his aura. He is chill. He was genuinely interested and i found it sweet of him, during the boat ride, he was clapping for Rocco, like applauding him for the event i guess. In the meantime, on Weibo, the top hot search were people criticizing the “boat” thing on GQ ( literally something like GQ boat embarrassment was the tag ) As soon as the live started it went on 1 or 2. I don’t know if Bobo saw that but I just like how he showed his appreciation to Rocco, and by extension, his team. That’s just my interpretation and it could be a completely different thing but knowing WYB, he is very generous with acknowledging people.

I also want to address another “candy” some cpfs are laughing about, it’s a fancam where Rocco moves to sit with WYB before the boat sailed and WYB smiled and said no. They were interpreting that as WYB doesn’t want Rocco to sit with him. Speculating that as he doesn’t want to get close cause ZZ will be jealous. But if you look at it, he was asked if he wants to switch seats. WYB declined. He was okay with his position. I guess some people have some beef with Rocco & GQ and that’s fine. However, what we feel about certain things is not the same as what the boys would feel. I also think that at this point, It’s in WYB’s best interest to have a good relationship with people in the industry. For example him attending 10c Starlight, even if a lot of his so/os hate Tencent ( and with good reason ok sure ). He is only extending his reach and it’s better to not burn bridges.

That got serious, so here, have some comparison between the gremlin in 2018 to now. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I was cackling at the comments that they should have invited XZ so they can be paired up and quarrel for 9 mins 😂😂😂😂

NEXT UP IS GG’s VLOG. I don’t know why it slipped my mind, they usually post on Thursdays, but anyway —

The first thing is the BGM for the exercise section of the vlog Hans Zimmer/Richard Harvey《Preparation》 which was used in the 2015 movie The Little Prince. A favorite CPN symbol among us. Another glaring one is Uptown Funk. Hello. Bruno Mars? That’s WYB’s thing. Yes, ZZ has his own team who edits these but I am one of those that believes ZZ approves the final cut. He is also asked about certain choices cause let’s be honest — his suggestions matter cause he knows what looks good. He is a professional in that aspect too.

Next is his hand held fan! It’s the same brand but a different design. They finally upgraded!!!! 🥹🥹

This scene (p1) with ZZ’s fondness for leaning on railings and balconies. It reminds me of the fake rumor before that WYB hates it when he does that.

XZ has a habit of lying on the balcony guardrail in a daze. Sometimes on a higher floor, WYB feels unsafe and won’t let XZ get close to the guardrail. Except for shooting, XZ is prohibited from approaching the balcony guardrail.

I would have loved to get some more day to day bits of his vacation cause there is usually more candy in that. I want to see him roaming around, like this part, these two love to mimic what they see and take a photo beside it. Tho this is mostly GG’s thing. They really have the same braincell.

LASTLY, Let’s discuss XZS 🤝 YBO.

XZS starts talking about the hot wind, which is most likely talking about the weather in Singapore. But then minutes later, here comes YBO talking about a comfortable breeze. Lol. The the hot could also allude to that “summer” since WYB decided to remind us all with his photo and hat. Then YBO’s caption, drawing more attention to his hat, knowing that CPFs are clowning over it.

and what time did they post their last set for the day?? 00:38. These clowns. Zhan Bo. 🫢

Some are saying it’s out of character for XZS to post stuff like this when there is an event going on. For example today, the hot search is filled with talk about GQ. Which I can agree on to some degree, but his team have been posting mostly on Thursdays and they are already “due” for a vlog. However, when they have a vlog ready, the fans can usually see it on Weibo, we know that there will be something coming and i didn’t see any talk of that today. Or maybe i missed it? Others are clowning that this is his “answer” to WYB’s strong candy today, i personally don’t think so but it’s all good for us cause we have so much content!!!!! 💛

BONUS: this transition 👀👀👀👀. Their editors are dating!!!!!!

me:
