#also i have recommended the untamed to people and they'll go

[lianailia]

Update:

So a lot has happened! I went and saw a condo that went up on a Fri. We went on Sun. Put in an offer, not thinking we were going to get it. Found out the next day that I got it!!!! I'm so excited! It's not closed on until the 13th and then I'll want to paint and clean the carpets. Then I can move. Lol and everyone is like "She can have this thing!" And I'm like chill. I won't know until I get in. But I do appreciate everyone offering and I'll have my Aunt's truck and trailer to move. And their help. Plus all of my friends. It was just kind of like the house we live in now where it came up, parents made a cash offer. It was accepted that same week. Crazy. (Now the market is crazy and houses and apartments cost way more. So this condo really is a Godsend.) Plus we have a great realtor. Then I meet with the disability lawyer soon and figure out how to move my assets so I can qualify for SSI, so that I CAN pay rent. But signed the contract saying it was in my name and ahhh! Next is getting a car. Might go tomorrow just to look. Then I have this week to test drive. I have no clue what I want. Heh

Next awesome thing happened on Thurs. Met with some friends from the Slayers chat before the Lindsey Stirling concert! Dinner was fun. We went to an Irish pub. Then the concert....

Please go. Please please please. Even if you don't like classical or instrumental music, she has something for everyone. It really is not just pretty violin music. She has such creative set designs, she makes all of her costumes, and has all of the choreo for her dancers. She's learned the acrobat ring and has a crazy act with that during one of the songs. I'm not giving too much away. You still will be amazed. Especially during the one song. The only thing is I wish Surrender was played. It's my fav from the new album. And I would have liked Sleepwalking, since I couldn't record it the last time. (My phone was dying because of the space.) But other than that perfect. Walk Off the Earth was the OP band and they were great. They had 2 songs with her. First one was during their set. She came out for it... wearing a cheese head hat! Because I'm in WI. It was hilarious. Sarah from the band was like "what is this? Oh, it's CHEESE!" And we were dying. I was sitting with mom, dad was on the end. We were kind of in the nosebleeds. But it wasn't as big of a place as I thought it was going to be. But the stage was still cool. They also had their kids perform. Which was hilarious. They had a little drum set! It was cute.

Then Lindsey opens with Eye of the Untold Her, which the way she does it on stage is so cool. I'm glad Evil Twin was closer to the middle. Serenity Found was really pretty. (I was kind of right with the spinning thing.) She did Shatter Me with the ring. She played Underground, Arena and Spontaneous Me from older albums. Untamed was cool even though I don't care for the song much. Firefly Alley was awesome! She told how she wanted there to be fans around her and the dancers and was explaining it to her stage designer. She said yeah, they'll be on wheels and be on us the whole time with ribbons! And he was going "fans? As in people?" She was caught off guard. Heh anyways, highly recommend going. She's my fav next to Kalafina. If I hadn't seen them she definitely would be first. And Piano Guys. Hoping she comes back next yr.

But I'm excited for the future. I will have my own place and car! Car I really don't care about too much, since I don't like driving, but it's still exciting getting to pick it out this time. I'm using my backpay. Things are happening so fast but finally happening! 😀

Is the CP real?

Came across this post on Twitter (I recommend reading the post because it's very interesting), where a c-ent CP fan who has followed multiple couples - many that turned out to be fake and some that later turned out to be real - compiled a list of signs that they've come to believe are good evidence that a CP is real.

Let's break it all down, shall we?

Fake, fan fiction, CPN.

1] Couple doesn't overload with fan service. Won't use lawyers to warn people off the CP.

GG and DD had an opportunity to make a KILLING off their CP (hell, they still do). This is common behavior for fake CPs. They'll have joint endorsements and promote products as a CP. There's a lot of money to be made and I think it's highly likely they've turned down such offers (although I would be totally fine with it if they profited from the CP). Fake CPs will play up the connection while promoting joint endorsements, but GG and DD have never done this.

GG and DD did precious little fan service during Untamed promotions. A bit of goofing around during the Untamed fan meets and interviews, but that's about it.

Despite many lawyer letters and statements denying other ships involving them, GG and DD have never once denied BJYXSZD. Even when it would have been potentially 'in their best interest' to, for example during 22*7 or when BTS hashtags were trending on Weibo, they have never closed the supertopics or denied the ship.

Meanwhile, the instant any hint of a dating rumor with anyone else (and even in one case where DD shut down an article claiming GG and DD broke up), and another where GG shut down the supertopic that was shipping him with WZC, they are quick to put a stop to other dating rumors.

2] Behavior before they became popular is very revealing; after they become popular, much more low key.

GG and DD are very close and flirty (and at times sexually suggestive) in the Untamed BTS, and were caught by paparazzi having dinner together (with DD showing up at the airport the next day in the same clothes he wore the night before), yet after they became popular everything got toned down dramatically, even at fan meets.

3] Candy is not limited by time, never more than a few months without candy.

Candy still incoming on a regular basis, without a rest, despite the fact they haven't been seen interacting in public for a long time.

Some of the bigger recent candies:

DD's name being mentioned in GG's Qingdao snacks video.

GG singing a song from one of DD's favorite singers (Eason Chan) during a recent performance, after a 🔴🟢 rumor said, "One for you, one for him." Fans believe that it was referring to GG singing one song for the fans and one for DD (he also sang Bamboo on the Rocks, a fan favorite, that night).

DD's Versace On The Floor performance.

DD's birthday countdown

DD's birthday message

4] Too many coincidences. Same time period, into same kinds of things.

This fandom is known for its many coincidences. I couldn't possibly list them all, but if you've been around for a while you know what I'm talking about.

DD - the spice intolerant guy - suddenly getting into spicy food when fans believe he was quarantining with GG, and developing a taste for obscure hot pot ingredients that are highly native to Chongqing. GG going from being a Chongqing high spice tolerance guy to having a lower spice tolerance in the months prior to that, after connecting with DD. A good breakdown of some of this can be found here.

GG going from dressing like an artsy college student to dressing like a hip hop skater dude. Both of them repeatedly seen wearing the same brands and even the same clothes, with no acknowledgment from those brands (in other words, not obvious promo for the brand).

DD going from being incredibly cheerful and gremliny during the cloud recordings for DDU when he was in quarantine at home (fans believe he was with GG), to looking really rough and unhappy a week or two later when quarantined separately from GG as 22*7 happened.

Both of them expressing interest in Spongebob, and in One Piece.

The frequent 🔴🟢 rumor confirmations.

The constant kadian from both of them.

Suitcases that look suspiciously like DD's appearing around GG.

The many similarities in the photos and graphics posted on their social media, suggesting they may share designers or GG might do some of the design for both of them.

The ox necklace, the bone necklace.

GG, who used to have a distinctive high pitched cute laugh, starting to laugh like DD more and more since they've known each other.

etc. etc. etc.

There are so many. People who are curious about this can just browse through these Twitter threads, because that's one thing Twitter does well - compile lists of candies.

5] Will pretend not to be familiar.

Add to this GG's constant tendency to hug everyone he knows well, but never publicly hugging DD.

6] There must be at least a few real, confirmed candies. Candies come randomly and can pull you back in even after you've lost interest in the CP.

Here are just a few examples:

The 49 fake candies from the Untamed BTS, which most people thought were ridiculous and farfetched, but were confirmed as the unofficial BTS began being released.

DD saying during a hot pot episode of SDOC3 that 'a friend from a drama he filmed' taught him how to eat hot pot so that it wasn't so burning. Along with this, as I mentioned previously, DD's expressed taste for obscure Chongqing hot pot ingredients, and his increased spice tolerance coinciding with GG's sudden appreciation for lower spice foods. Solos dug through DD's filming history and the only person they could find who was from the region besides GG was Ji Li, who has said in interviews he doesn't like hot pot.

DD's sneakers and ice cream post is a huge 👀 that made a lot of people take notice. Especially given the kadian that accompanied it (20:03 - ai zan - Love Zhan). He faced a lot of backlash for that post as gossip sites were claiming he had come out, and solos were begging him to take it down but he kept it up until he was forced to delete it when he split with Nike earlier this year.

Old Cow Eats Young Grass.

GG designing a racing suit for DD (this was confirmed when they were seen discussing it in the Untamed BTS).

DD's name being mentioned in GG's recent Qingdao snacks video is totally unwashable in my opinion. Clear as day.

There are a few other confirmed things I won't discuss on my blog, but suffice it to say that this one is a yes for me.

7] They have a common friend circle. They are familiar with each other's people.

Including the heads of the entertainment companies they work for.

GG talking with Du Hua (CEO of YueHua - DD's management company) at the 2019 Weibo Awards.

Of course GG and DD are still friends with people from the Untamed cast, but there are also other common friends. Ayunga and Zheng Yunlong, for example. Yixing as well. Huang Zitao.

8] They stop saying they're single. Start recommending people find love.

This is something BXG are often commenting on, because it's fairly dramatic. Prior to the summer of 2019 (when GG visited DDU as DD's guest for the 11th anniversary special), DD was constantly being used as the show's 'single eligible bachelor' in various segments. They would pair him off with women, ask him questions about dating and nudge him to flirt with female guests.

After GG appeared on the show, this immediately stopped, and ever since then the DDU brothers treat DD as a married man, and have completely stopped all the 'single straight guy' stuff.

GG has also been behaving as a married man, answering questions in ways that have raised eyebrows among fans. Probably the most notable was during his brief Qixi Festival interview last year, when he behaved like a married man and wished single people, "Jiayou!" and recommended they find love for next year. Saying "What do I know?" when the interviewer asks him to give people advice on finding someone. Basically acting like he doesn't know what it's like to be single.

9] If they're in the same city, they both disappear at the same time.

Well, given the recent situation with both of them disappearing in Beijing, I think that this one needs no explaining. When they are both in the same city, they disappear and only update social media when they return to work afterward. This has happened many times over the years.

If it matches all of the above, it can be considered real.

BJYXSZD.

[gaykey]

so i am watching kinnporsche because of you and i want to watch more BLs now but there's so many i don't know where to start. which ones would you recommend? i trust your taste.

hello anon!

ah, thank you for trusting my taste lol, that might have been a mistake, but we'll see.

someone asked me for recs a little while back here, so you can check that out

but i'd like to add some i forgot or have watched since, and also, let you know what ones from that list are my ultimate faves

so!

i forgot to add history 3: trapped - mafia man & cop fall for each other. this is a fun one. it has the whole crime intrigue aspect, so if you like kp, you'll like this one i think.

y destiny - but i only really care about episodes 9 & 10, which is puth & kaeng's story. so good.

also, i have since watched:

blueming - soft and emotional and beautiful. very underrated bl.

3 will be free - this is a different one. so, again it has crime elements, and intrigued and is a pretty exciting watch, aaand, it features a polyamourous realtionship, which i have never known another bl or drama to do. so, yeah, good watch.

mr unlucky has no choice but to kiss - i haven't finished it yet actually, but it's very sweet, very funny, and like most japanese bl's, a very feel good watch.

also, literally just started watching yesterday- old fashioned cupcake - another japanese bl that's pretty short, but really good! it's totally snuck under the radar, what with everyone's kp brainrot.

now, my ultimate fave are:

kinnporsche - i mean......we been knew. i'm not gonna go into detail about why i love it, because, i'm currently here doing it everyday but yeah.......it's solidified its spot as one of my ults.

not me - not me is so special to me, i will never get over it. kinda can't really be classed a bl, more of an lgbt+ drama. bl's follow a certain formula, and that's not not me. it's about, love, found family, strength in numbers strength in community, fighting for your rights, exposing corruption, direct action! mwah! not me is just, so good.

the untamed - again. so so so special to me. this show lives on my heart forever now. it's a chinese drama, so it's not explicitly a bl, and it's incredibly long (50 episodes!) but anon, trust me, it will take you on an absolutely heart-wrenchjng journey. you will experience the full spectrum of emotion watching this show. and the writers, cast, directors, everyone, did an amazing job portraying the love and devotion of the main couple that's not a couple (in case you don't know, china has censorship laws that prohibits lgbt+ content to be shown in tv dramas). an ult fave indeed.

we best love - oh man. oh maaaannnnn, we best love is so good. i rewatch it every now and then and it hits every time. the acting..........top notch omg. everyone is so good, but the main actors are superb. it's soft, it's sweet, it's a coming of age story, but then it all changes, and it's about heartbreak, and healing. there are two seasons of this show, but i wish there were 30.

itsay - itsay (i told sunset about you) is just? iconic. a lot of people don't even really class it as a bl? same with not me actually. it's more of a coming of age drama, and god, it's just beautiful in every way. another one that will take on a journey of emotions. i always feel so wrung out after an itsay rewatch. itsay is a work art actually.

why r u? - controversial choice. not everyone liked this show, but, i can't help but get in my feelings about it. i think it was the first bl i properly watched and got sucked into. the chemistry between the main couple is amazing. in fact, that could be said for all my faves. it really is the key component to a decent bl.

i don't think i've forgotten any obvious ones.......

there are a few others, but, it's more about certain couples or, aspects of the show that are my fave, as a opposed to the show as a whole. and they'll be in the other list i linked above soooo?

enjoy?

let me know if you watch any, and what you think of them ♡♡
