I love the Fuck Off Fan! 🪭

Fanboy

Ah yeah - brings back memories of my old Word Of Honor blogging days...

And there he is...

with his big fuck off fan.

Ah the bad old days of CBL.

I miss those days.

I miss that fan.

fem!, modern moshang!!! sqh writes scum gong cheap shou novels in this au and constantly has to self-censor before the chinese government does <3 when she transmigrates into one of her novels she tries to seduce beibei because everyone knows there are only three types of female characters in BL: bitch, fujoshi, lesbian, and she'd probably get murdered by sj or lbg if she wrote rpf of them. now, you'd think that their relationship explicitly being NON-platonic would make them communicate but they're still moshang so...

oh and in this universe i think shen yuan's meimei should be the one who transmigrates bc i have this vague memory of her canonically reading hardcore bondage danmei (maybe it was a headcanon?) but i feel like she'd still have discerning taste...yk maybe she hooks up with minglingning

Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby

- it may sound a bit cliché, but you were in love with your best friend. even though you always wanted to tell her, you strongly doubted that she could use your love - you didn't know that she thought the same. you two were really stupid, huh?

- you had nothing against your colleague, but you weren't stupid enough to be fooled by his innocent smile and appearance since you knew exactly what kind of corrupt person was hiding behind that costume. after all, you were wearing the same one.

Ddakji Man

- you were always struggling to make ends meet, despite having three separate jobs and you doubted that that would ever change. it felt like you were working out of your own casket and it would probably be more sustainable to invest in one at this point.

- there was this one girl that thanos really wanted, though, she didn't really want to have anything to do with him. unfortunately, that made him want her even more.

Latest on Anle:

1. By now I dislike every character in this mess. LMX is a manipulative user. Han Ye is a gratuitous masochist. Anle is morose and dreary enough I am confused as to how either man is obsessed with her unless it’s purely for looks (there is a way to make a dark and revenge driven and damaged woman who puts her goals ahead of love and ain’t got time for fluff interesting - see Dowager in Bloody Heart or Shu Qi’s FL in Red Dust or Ha Ji Won’s FL in Empress Ki) but Anle ain’t it.

2. I confess I laughed when Han Ye volunteered to do public penance barefoot. Surely you forgot your flagellation tools, young man?

3. It’s pretty clear that LMX and Anle are drinking as much of HY’s blood as they can because they can’t go after the real guilty party, the emperor, and are just projecting on a target that is not only available but is literally hanging a “kick me” sign on himself. That makes me think less of all three of them.

4. It’s a tough competition but Anning wins Idiot of the Drama award. That actress has no aura of the general, not even a cosplay one, but the atrocious script is doing her no favors by saddling her with the brain power of a toddler.

5. Why Han Ye hasn’t yet informed Anle WS is her brother is beyond me. “Because drama!!!” Is not a good answer.

6. I keep fantasizing about importing Sima Yi from The Advisors Alliance or Cao Cao from Three Kingdoms 2010 or hell, even Li Chu from Glory of Tang Dynasty or (to use a current drama), Cousin Cang Xuan from LYF into this world and having them take over this kingdom of morons in two days.

6a. Han Ye is a sweet person but in any real world situation that dynasty is doomed when someone like him comes to the throne unless his advisors are somehow an improbable combination of madly loyal and utter sharks. I wouldn’t trust that man to run a trading caravan ruthlessly, smartly and efficiently enough.

7. On plus side, all three mains are very pretty and the acting is fine in light of what they’ve been given. Still, if you want to watch Dilraba do a lady with agenda role, you are best off watching The King’s Woman or even The Long Ballad (and god and my mutuals know I am no fan of the latter.) If you want to watch Gong Jun be brilliant in a period setting, Word of Honor is that way. And if you want to watch Liu Yuning as an ambitious tragic schemer, go check out Heroes (go check out Heroes anyway, actually!)

To conclude: if color beige was given a drama form, it would be this drama.

The Old King is Dead, Long Live the King

We're finishing up what has turned into a Wen Kexing week with bang. A bit of a gore warning on this post, both for fig blood and movie-scene blood. There's also some disturbing subtext here, depending on how you read this scene.

The scene that inspired this fig is from Episode 21, when some of the 10 Devils are recounting how Lunatic Wen deposed the previous Ghost Valley Master to become the new Ghost Valley master. And by "deposed", they mean, "skinned the old Ghost Valley Master alive". We're treated to a short flashback of this event through Changing Ghost's eyes:

The director's approach to this scene is pretty intense. This is no kingmaker power scene - from this perspective, it's not even a scene of revenge. Instead of some overpowered, unstoppably triumphant, bloody conqueror, we see a young, dirty, barely dressed man, covered in patches of blood, with the glassy, thousand-yard stare of someone living through their own personal nightmare.

Below are some photos of some of the scene that was cut from the final version. I'm assuming the bloody corpse of the old Ghost Valley Master was too gory for TV.

He looks traumatized and exhausted. He's got like one and a half layers on. His belt is just a strip of fabric and knotted in a tie so plain and utilitarian it's like I tied it. Hobo-Xu wore more clothes than this. The only thing that's in any way actually publically presentable is his hair, which you can see was originally neatly arranged (there's actually a braid in the front) and adorned with his hairpin. This is about as stark and non-glamorous as a scene as I could possibly imagine for someone taking both revenge and a throne. Full kudos to the directors and Gong Jun.

Our young Wen Kexing arrived safely in his protective box. Which is good, since for sure this poor guy doesn't need any more damage.

The fig arrived with the heads of his enemies, but not in his hands.

At his feet, where they belong. We have our choice here of two corpses.

Canonically, I had to have him hold the old Ghost Valley Master, of course. I'll leave the other corpse at this fig's feet on my display shelf.

The hair knot of the old Ghost Valley Master looks like it should fit tightly in Wen Kexing's hand, but it does not. It fits well, shape wise, but it's so loose it doesn't hold at all. I tried using some museum putty, but the putty isn't sticky enough and the cream/white of it shows through. I was going to glue it, but then decided there was enough room to try a sliver of a fig sticker instead, so that's what you see here. This seemed to work perfectly - the fig sticker filled in the loose gap.

The fig maker sure captured that thousand-yard stare. This fig looks as traumatized as Wen Kexing looked in the show.

No printed box for this one, but we do have a box card:

I like the blood red background of Ghost Valley the fig maker has here.

Speaking of the Ghost Valley, the background to my header picture actually is Ghost Valley. It's from the official art book / photo book from the show. I wanted to take a pic against the burning tree, but the photo in the book was too small.

We'll have a happier fig post tomorrow, I promise!

Taylor's coming to China next week!!!!

He's going to Shanghai (my cousin lives there), and then there are some talks about him going to Zhejiang (one of the neighbouring provinces, geopolitics is weird here) for a GQ event on the 7th

The rest of this post is me, as a Hong Konger with a Chinese family (yes there is a distinction, again geopolitics is weird) rambling

This is nowhere near me (a 2.5-hour flight) and I have exams but this is the closest distance-wise I will ever be to him

I'm excited and worried in equal measures and I'm really worried: Chinese celebrity culture is something completely different, meet and greets where fans can actually talk to the celebrity. especially on the street or out in the wild casually rarely if ever happens. I don't know how this is gonna go I just really hope there won't be any trouble and fans will respect his boundaries.

But I do genuinely hope he has a good time

The funny thing about the GQ event is the confirmed guest list isn't out yet. It allegedly comes out on the third but there's this weird activity in which by drawing online lots, people can quote-unquote win quotes related to the guests and Taylor's one is the 'I fell in love with a person' quote from Alex's speech, but they copied it weirdly and cut it down to 'I fall in love with a person and that man happens to be a prince of England'. Cutting down and grammar mistakes aside, the part of the original quote 'That person happens to be a man' which is the part that normalized their gay relationship is cut out. And I know for a fact this is a deliberate move.

I'm honestly surprised that they supposedly invited Taylor. This isn't me in any way undermining Taylor, I'm only too happy for him to be in more events, let alone in my country, but he's known for RWRB here, and China's censorship on anything remotely gay has been getting worse these few years. Dangai is banned and pride organizations were shut down with no explanation. People wearing anything remotely resembling a rainbow were banned from a concert in Beijing. Vast majority of Chinese fans watched RWRB illegally because they can't access Prime in Mainland China. That's why I'm surprised.

But something I'm pretty excited about is supposedly Gong Jun (Wen Kexing from Word of Honour (that happens to be gay), the last show that had a prominent impact on my life before RWRB) who I'm still casually following is gonna be there. I can't guarantee that their paths will cross but I do find parallels between Gong Jun and Taylor's career trajectory and that fascinates me. In fact, I also find parallels between Zhang Zhehan (Gong Jun's scene partner from Word of Honour) and Nick's trajectory as well.

God I just hope he has a good time and everything goes smoothly for him.

━◈ WANTED CONNECTIONS ... three new ones have been added to the page!

there are tales of how li haoyu is searching for their two younger siblings, which is familial in nature. the records show that they are about 22-28 years old and their photographs look like dylan wang, lu yuxiao, zhao lusi, ju jingyi, fan chengcheng, yan an, song yuqi, xiao dejun, wang ziyi, sun yihan, bi wenjun, shen yue, wang yijin, chen zhuoxuan, wang zhuocheng, chen zheyuan, wu lei, lin yanjun, liu lingzi, any chinese fc in the appropriate age range. help us find them, but make sure that you speak to karin at @kencanas on tumblr beforehand. this is their story so far: a lot of haoyu’s siblings’ personalities are utp and we can discuss the details! but their shared backstory is that the li family is local to cynefin and are very rooted to the land. they’re literally just a normal family working normal jobs, with haoyu for example being a blacksmith. they do okay, but i definitely don’t imagine them to be Rich & the eldest two siblings at least probably did not get tertiary education. affinity for khemia across their bloodline is also very poor, but i’m down to discuss one of the siblings potentially being khemia-touched for the #drama because haoyu is very bitter they aren’t. tldr; details utp!

there are tales of how li haoyu is searching for their employer, which is platonic/professional in nature. the records show that they are about 40+ years old and their photographs look like omar sy, qin lan, michael greyeyes, zahn mcclarnon, aishwarya rai, gabrielle union, lukman sardi, jericho rosales, lucy liu, simone kessell, vera farmiga, alexander skarsgard, sandra oh, maggie q, gong yoo, lupita nyong’o, tessa thompson, alex meraz, pedro pascal, ke huy quan, fan bingbing, joe taslim, fc ultimately utp. help us find them, but make sure that you speak to karin at @kencanas on tumblr beforehand. this is their story so far: haoyu apprenticed at the local blacksmith’s forged upon graduating secondary school and has remained working there ever since. haoyu has (or at least had) a pretty good relationship with them, especially since he’s quite disciplined and passionate about his work. i imagine that because haoyu doesn’t have an affinity for khemia, however, it’s hard for him to progress in his career. would love if this muse is trained in transmutation & that is causing a bit of a rift between the two of them—because without khemia, haoyu can’t get to their level. this muse’s personality & how they ended up becoming a blacksmith really are all utp, and i’m more than happy to brainstorm further details.

there are tales of how li haoyu is searching for their narrative foil/rival, which is antagonistic in nature. the records show that they are about 27-33 years old and their photographs look like go younjung, do kyungsoo, pat chayanit, woo dohwan, melisa asli pamuk, apo nattawin, taz skylar, avan jogia, fady elsayed, sakaguchi kentaro, medalion rahimi, daniel ezra, alisha boe, damson idris, jackson wang, tiana okoye, ryan destiny, kylie verzosa, dilraba dilmurat, clark backo, gong jun, kang haneul, adonis bosso, pinar deniz, ashika pratt, bie thassapak hsu, fc ultimately utp. help us find them, but make sure that you speak to karin at @kencanas on tumblr beforehand. this is their story so far: the main thing i’m looking for with this muse is that they have a strong affinity for khemia, particularly in transmutation, which would be something haoyu both hates and envies. i imagine their narratives would parallel and foil each other’s at the same time, but how that is exactly is up for discussion. all i ask is that at present, their relationship is largely antagonistic and Not Great. whether they have history or not can also be discussed! some ideas include but are not limited to an ex student of verum who was an outsider, haoyu’s work rival, a young business owner who takes advantage of their transmutation magic, someone who supplies weapons to the warfront, and many more. basically this dynamic is toxic, biting, and crazy.

HAIR COLOR(S): black

HEIGHT: 178-180 cm

BODY BUILD: slender but strong, with a notably slim waist and defined muscles

FACE CLAIM: Luo Yunxi

POTENTIAL FATAL FLAW: rage, rage, rage; often letting his heart rule his mind, especially as a response to injustice

THREE HEADCANONS:

• he tends to become an absolute miserable wreck, cranky and childish, whenever he gets sick (which happens a lot), but as there's usually no one to take care of him, he's pretty used to biting it down and still forcing himself to function. same goes for injury — no matter how grave it is, he'd much rather struggle on his own than ask for help. it's so engrained in him that sometimes it takes him quite a while to realize that asking a medic for help is an option.

• despite following the path of abstinence and not giving much thought to passions and desires, he's been aware of his attraction to men since his teenage years. but it never bothered him, partly due to growing up on the mountain away from the world where such matters were never discussed at all — the very concept of homophobia was unknown to him for a long time.

• depending on the amount of memories he retains in different verses, he never plays guqin in public/in the presence of others, and only ever uses it as a weapon when needs be. the incident ruined the tranquility of music for him.

three things your muse likes doing in their free time    ⎯⎯

• inventing / building mechanical devices, particularly those that can be used by common people to defend themselves from ghosts and demons;

• reading whatever he can get his hands on, writing to kill the time (letters that won't be sent, as Chu-fēi);

• embroidery (on rare occasions).

a phobia your muse has    ⎯⎯

heights. he never uses his sword for flying unless it's really unavoidable and he's supported by Mo Ran. losing his husband, as he's lived through it before.

one thing your muse regrets    ⎯⎯

not being able to see and prevent the rise of Taxian-jun in time, not being able to defeat or restrain him later on even after exhausting all his power. there are too many things that he blames himself for, that are not his responsibility nor his fault, but going into deep meditation that one time and not being able to stop Mo Ran from trying to protect him at the cost of his sanity is definitely top of the list.

people your character likes  /  loves    ⎯⎯

his disciples (albeit not in the same way + softly removing Shi Mei from the list), Xue Zhengyong and Madam Wang, Liu-gong (as the only person who always stayed kind and respectful towards him as Chu-fēi), Nangong Si, Ye Wangxi.

To me, the other issue is that while I had my problems with the execution (mainly YCY who is one of the worst cdrama actresses I've ever seen and the only reason she doesn't have first place is because Cheng Xiao exists; she was decent in Heroes (2022) - a miracle - but not anywhere else), LYST had a lot of really interesting ideas about what mortal "experiences" mean to deities and what are true selves etc etc.

Fox so far doesn't really have anything to think about. "Spirits and Humans are both OK and oppression is bad unless a pretty princess does it" isn't a particularly interesting message.

And yes - the large cast does it no favors. Nobody is truly explored and everyone is a bit lost. You CAN make a large ensemble cast interesting and make you invested but it's hard (I am watching Joy of Life 2 contemporaneously and it has a much larger cast than Fox but they are all complex and I invest in them - but the writing, directing and acting have to be in place for this and in Fox that isn't.)

I also enjoy Yuechi being heroine coded and FL being the icy hero melted stereotype but it all goes back to the fact that it all seems great on paper but it feels like Cliffs Notes in execution. I keep getting the feeling that I should like it more than I do. Take secondary OTP - brawn not brains carefree fighter lady and a flirty man who is clearly not what he seems is fun in theory but in the drama I ff because there is no charge, no underlying draw.

I hope they worked out whatever it was with the other two because I adore both Liu Shi Shi and Cheng Yi and hope their dramas are great - at least they appear to have more of an identity to them, even if it's a "Liu Shi Shi drama" or "Cheng Yi drama" - that's not a bad thing since I like both a typical LSS or a typical CY drama. (They also look like they have a much smaller cast to focus on, and that should help.)

Ultimately, the problem is that Yang Mi is someone I used to adore but she's been walking through the motions for years and isn't really the person to overcome a bland script of a lacking direction through sheer chops or charisma. Maybe once upon a time but no longer. And Gong Jun is very fun in the role but without more than "fun and charming" ML this isn't enough to hang my hat on. I mean, I ultimately bailed on LYST and Ding Yuxi's character and performance were both superior to anything here.

I am gonna say though… iQIYI cannot maintain an entire Fox Spirit Matchmaker drama franchise with this level of quality. They’ve finished filming three of these shows, but I feel like it’s going to end up a huge money sink if the standard doesn’t raise.

To me this show also does not look quite as good as even Love You Seven Times? The directing feels very amateur at times. Immaculate costuming though, of course.

Like I’m still watching for sure because I am interested in the overall plot, but this last arc had me literally yelling at the tv multiple times, like a guy watching sports when the ref makes a terrible call.

At this point it is becoming obvious that the magic of LBFAD was in the specific crew of the series, and not in Stellar’s name being on it.

Hey!! I’m relatively new to BL and have been binging a BUNCH as of late (now watching Until We Meet Again). I love your blog; it’s been such a helpful companion to my understanding the constructs of this genre and has absolutely enhanced my enjoyment!

My question is: who do you think are the best actors in BL (currently and past)? Top 5? Top 10? Top what whatever-number-you-want?

Though there has definitely been some… shaky acting, I’ve been impressed at how many good (even great!) actors I’ve discovered. I’ve especially become a fan of Nanon (Bad Buddy) and Sam Lin (We Best Love).

Feel free to change this question to your “favorite” actors if that feels more right to you! (Also not being exclusionary of an actor’s gender or role in the series!)

Hi hi, welcome! Delighted to be of help. Ooo, I should say acting is certainly a matter of personal taste, but considering that, here's my... 

Top 10 Best Actors In BL

I'm going to judge ONLY on their BL, so in the case of certain Japanese actors, for example, they may be great with a huge back catalog, but they may not have been served well by the role/script they were given for their BL.

Sam Lin (We Best Love) - Sam is, hands down, my favorite actor ever to do BL. I talk about why here. 

Nanon Korapat (Bad Buddy) - I think objectively, from a pure technique standpoint, Nanon may be one of the best actors we’ve ever gotten. I talk about what I mean by that here. 

Saint Suppapong (Love By Chance, Why R U?) - I talk about why I love his acting style so much (and why I think it’s pretty unique) here.

PP Krit (I Told Sunset About You) - I’ve never finished this show, still RECOGNIZE this boy’s extreme talent, because that’s part of what was too much for me. 

Suzuki Jin (Given, My Love Mix-up) - did you know the lead seme in Given was played by THE SAME actor as Aoki’s bestie in Kieta Hatsukoi? Yeah, that’s how good he is. 

Fluke Natouch (Until We Meet Again, Close Friend) - honestly boy can cry on dime, that’s really hard to do, and he’s really good at it, also he plays a deranged murderer pretty well too. DUALITY! 

Ohm Pawat (Bad Buddy, He’s Coming To Me, Make it Right, Dew the movie) - I talk about his acting style here. 

Gun Atthaphan (Not Me, Theory of Love, Puppy Honey) - and I talk about him here. 

Gong Jun (Word of Honor, Advance Bravely) - maybe not the best actor on this list (not sure about his range as he always seems to play the same kind of cheeky character). I just find his style very appealing and I’m delighted by the fact that he successfully executed both uke and seme roles. (To be fair Tay Tawan has done this too.) But honestly, how does he seem so baby as Xia Yao when the boy is like 6ft+? 

Fiat Pattadon (My Gear and Your Gown, SOTUS S, Triage) - he’s never anchored a BL, but he has been in quite a few of them, and he is a completely different person no matter what he’s in. I like his changeable nature. 

This post as of mid 2022, subject to change as my taste changes and new actors appear

Just finished shl what do you suggest I fill the void in my life with??

Firstly let me double check you've seen the epilogue, because that is essential viewing.

Secondly, disclaimer that I personally filled the void with Advance Bravely, which I only recommend if all you care about is seeing baby twink Gong Jun getting his void filled manhandled by a guy who's even taller than he is. Don't expect any more than that.

The Untamed is probably the obvious suggestion if you haven't seen it yet, it's another guzhuang drama danmei adaptation in which a demonic cultivator is resurrected years after his death and reconnects with his soulmate while investigating why

Nirvana in Fire is not a BL but is wonderful and slashy (and has my wife Mu Nihuang 💖). Political and court intrigue, if you liked Wen Kexing's elaborate revenge plots you'll love Mei Changsu

Kinnporsche is a contemporary mafia BL that's a lot of fun, fair warning though for some unhealthy relationship dynamics (torturer and victim in particular). There's a censored and uncensored version, and the uncensored is pretty explicit

Beyond Evil is also not a BL, but the tension between the main characters doesn't actually make sense otherwise. Modern Korean police drama about hunting a serial killer with a lot of cat and mouse type stuff between the two leads

I know I will have forgotten things but this should give you a start at least!

Two Naughty Ghosts

We're getting closer and closer to Halloween, and who knows, one evening you too... could come face to face with a ghost!

I don't know who is more scared here, this ghost or our two playful little figs!

I laughed when I opened this box - their faces are just too funny!

The set came in two pieces - Zhehan and Gong Jun together as one fig and the hollow ghost. The two figs aren't removable - they're permanently like this.

We'll do a quick spin around on these two before we tackle the ghost!

We have a cute GJ❤️ZZH patch on Junjun's shirt pocket here, but not too much in the way of other detail on the clothes. No distractions from the hilarious expressions on their faces!

You can see here how the figs are stacked up. I will note the fig engineering here is great - no wobbling or concerns about this fig combo falling over backwards. It feels plenty stable to me.

I'm glad Junjun is holding onto Zhehan's ankles here, and also glad that Zhehan has so much core strength, because this is not an inherently stable position!

I find this fig set very funny - people are endlessly creative!

This fig set has the classic JZP fig proportions where Zhehan is curvy and Junjun is thin and narrow.

These are in general, chunky figs - they're pàng pàng, or 胖胖 style figs. All the English-speaking fans I know (me included) refers to them as chonks, or chonkers, to distinguish themselves from the other fat-body style figs. The chonks are also from are a particular artist that is currently all the rage in the fandom fig making circuit. This style typically sells out very quickly (sometimes within seconds).

No surprise, their expressions are very cute!

Junjun's scared face here is hilarious to me, it has so much personality! Not to be outdone, Zhehan's little shouting face here makes me laugh, and his little fang is super cute!

The bottoms-up views are never too interesting with the figs with stands, but here we go.

Both sides here - you can see Zhehan is mostly draped over Junjun, with his feet barely on his shoulders.

Zhehan's little hands are super cute. This is actually a nice view of his little fang as well!

The cute surprise here is that our two rascally boys ARE the ghost! They can pop the ghost costume on over their heads, and abracadabra....they're the ones scaring other people!

Here they are, ready to trick-or-treat! You can barely see the stand underneath the costume. There's not a ton to see with the ghost costume, so I'll just do a few pics:

I'll note that the costume is actually pretty snug...I turn the fig stack over and carefully maneuver the costume over Zhehan's outstretched hands so it fits nicely over them. It's definitely not something you just drop over their heads or push down on.

The box card that came with the set is so funny! The ghosties are actually super cute, I wish they had been a separate purchase or something, I would have totally bought them.

Come back tomorrow for more Halloween fun!
