#it's time for FL/FL piggyback rides

[gl-saveme]

I really feel like I need a scene where bodyguard Tawan gives drunk Ira a piggyback ride home or something like in kdramas that would be cute as shit

[tangjiali-purpleyaohua]

Qiu Qingzhi and Li Bing back in the days : You look at me who loves looking at you.

ISTG the way Li Bing looked at Qiu Qingzhi who was looking at him was more like a shy junior who looked at his senior he had a crush on. A part of him secretly hoped that Qiu Qingzhi wouldn't know his feelings towards him, yet another part of him also hoped that his secret crush would share the same feelings as him and then would make the first move on him. He plastered a shy smile as if he tried to pretend that he didn't have any butterflies flying in his stomach.

The drama wasn't about bromance, but really they just skipped the B and jumped into romance. LOL. Qiu Qingzhi x Li Bing boldly crossed the line of mere brothership. There's no way in Hell you would treat your brother as an adult like that. Not a million times.

Note : They didn't cut the scene where Wang Qi jumped on Cui Bei's back, but they cut the cute scene where Qiu Qingzhi called Li Bing to come over and Li Bing ran to him happily. He jumped on Qiu Qingzhi's back. Qiu Qingzhi was more than happy to give him a piggyback ride for free. He carried him like the most precious thing he wished he could have.

Qiu Qingzhi and Li Bing now : I'm just a little too not over you. Just a little! You hear me? But how are you so fine without me? I've been crying for you since the day you went away! Am I that unimportant? Am I so insignificant to you? Fine! I'm going to show to the whole world that I'm also fine without you!

But of course, who could stop our Vice Minister Li from the Court of Judicial Review to act cute towards General Qiu from Jinwu Guard? Li Bing could do whatever he wished since it's Qiu Qingzhi. 撒娇 full mode was activated!

I'd never be a fan of hetero romance drama. I admit that I even always tried to avoid it like a plague because I had a great issue with the FL's half baked 撒娇 (acted like a spoiled child or coquettishly). It never failed to annoy me to the moon and back to the point that killed my mood and gave me a headache. It's the main reason why such a talented actor like Ding Yuxi managed to escape from my radar (my BL-dar, LOL).

White Cat Legend was his first drama that I watched. To be honest, at first, I didn't expect him to be that good, but just a pretty face to help selling the drama. I heard that antis said that his face was just too ordinary. Excuse you, but I had to disagree! I really had no idea which beauty standard that they used to judge Ding Yuxi's exquisite appearance. This guy surely had a pretty face and a pair of equally beautiful expressive doe eyes. His laughs were so addictive. He has fair skin and a pair of cute elf ears that made his face look smaller and innocent.

He's indeed one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen, but his acting skill was on par with his pretty face. He was so detailed in micro expression, voice, quirks, and body language. He used his real voice! I was so glad for that since I could tell his changing mood faster based on his voice. In White Cat Legend, I wonder if he merely relied on what's written on the script or more on his personal interpretation to portray Li Bing. Most of the time when Li Bing gazed at Qiu Qingzhi, it wasn't for a bestie, but a lover. It was understandable if it was a BL or B-romance drama, but it wasn't. I jumped on the QiuBing ship and then sailed, sailed, sailed, to the BL sea.

When they met again after the 3 years of separation & a bitter 'breakup', Li Bing looked at General Qiu with glassy eyes as he was so ready to burst into tears at any moment. His voice tinted with emotional; anger, sorrow, desperation, and unbearable longing. But sometimes his voice became more childish just like when he was younger. He did it only to Qiu Qingzhi, especially when he felt like testing Qiu Qingzhi's patience in every chance that he got. I wonder how Qiu Qingzhi could suppress the urge not to jump on that naughty cat and attack him. By 'attack', I meant wringing Li Bing's delicate neck, not that typical +18 'attack' deflowering him in bed.

Gotta admit that Ding Yuxi's 撒娇 skill is really a top-notch 撒娇! He's not exaggerating. It was just so natural. Damn, he's so cute! When I said cute, it was purely boyish cute. I wouldn't dare to describe him as unmanly. He's a versatile actor that could act as a male character with a feminine traits, just like his role as Dongfang Bubai back then. FYI, Dongfang Bubai was a male character who castrated himself in order to master a martial art in the Sunflower Manual. I didn't watch the drama, but I watched some short videos of his version of Dongfang Bubai. IMHO, he's the best Dongfang Bubai that I've ever seen. They mostly used an actress to play the role of Dongfang Bubai. Ding Yuxi managed to balance masculinity and femininity for Dongfang Bubai. Dear a bunch of half baked 撒娇 skilled actress, you guys better learn that skill from this xiao-Dingding, so your acting can be less annoying.

Ding Yuxi as Dongfang Bubai

Tbh, I wouldn't mind if the MUA (makeup artist) dolled him up like Dongfang Bubai as Li Bing. Li Bing in his big white cat mode got red eyeshadow under his eyes! Why couldn't he get it in his human form? It would be so epic and undoubtedly look so good on him.

Was the GCI version of the big white cat actually modeled after Ding Yuxi? They really looked alike! Da lizi was just like a mirror image of Ding Yuxi. Look at their eyes and lips!

I wonder if he used a certain method as an actor; shaping himself into the character or blend the character into himself. Whichever he used, it was the best way to understand the character, but also a dangerous way since it's possible that he couldn't get rid off the character even after the drama was over. It was so tricky. However, as an adult, I believe that he was over the fragile stage to find his identity. He was already on the safe side.

As for Wei Zheming, his acting really surprised me. The first time I knew him, he acted as Jing Beiyuan or Qi-ye (Lord Seventh) in Word of Honor. In White Cat Legend, he really surpassed my expectations on him. He nailed the role as Qiu Qingzhi; the left General of Imperial Guard, the General from Jinwu Guard. Most of the time he kept his face stoic and expressionless, but if you paid more attention to it, he clearly had a lot of emotions, especially for Li Bing. I was so glad that they didn't dub his original voice. Unlike when Li Bing addressed Qiu Qingzhi by his title so coldly; damn that was so cold, when Qiu Qingzhi addressed Li Bing by his title, it was full of respect. But when he addressed Li Bing by his name, you could notice the fondness in his voice. You could also sense the air of arrogance and authority whenever he used '本将' (this General) to address himself. Somehow he managed to sound so arrogant even when he used '邱莫' (this humble-self Qiu). Dude, you're not humble at all! However on the contrary, you would notice his modesty when he used '我' (I, me). He's a real two-face guy. He was so different in his monstrous mode and his Saint mode.

After learning how selfless and sincere Qiu Qingzhi was, my first reaction was; I insulted him so much behind his back. I shouldn't have done that. Oh, same, Wang Qi, same!

It was so sad that they killed Qiu Qingzhi in the drama. But it couldn't be helped since that character was too good. Qiu Qingzhi >>>>>>>>>>> Chen Shi + Wang Qi + Cui Bei + Sun Bao + Alibaba. Once he was back to Li Bing's side, the Mingjing Hall people were basically useless compared to Qiu Qingzhi. Looking back at Qiu Qingzhi x Li Bing in their past, I thought that he was actually the '妖' (demon) in duo '妖饼' (demon Bing). Oh, come on. Li Bing was a frail Young Master back then due his incurable illness. Basically he was like a beauty lamp that even a faint cold air could extinguish it in seconds. Qiu Qingzhi, on the contrary, was a strong and reliable man with wisdom. We know how capable and effective Qiu Qingzhi was in a battle. Capturing a small fry like thieves or bandits was like just a piece of cake for him. He also could make sure that Li Bing was safe and unharmed when he played detective with him.

Maybe it's because he was a slave (servant), even if Li Bing would never treat him like one, no one really would bother to pay attention on him. He was like the shadow of Li Bing who was born with silver in his mouth and so much privilege as the Young Master of an aristocratic family.

Back to the topic. If Qiu Qingzhi was still alive or managed to escape from death, he would single handedly outshine Mingjing Hall people so easily to the point Li Bing no longer needed anyone, but him. I meant it. Wanna bet? Whenever Li Bing needs someone to pamper him, just go get Qiu Qingzhi. Sorry, Chen Shi. Whenever Li Bing needs someone who's highly intelligent and is a sly fox with so many tricks in his sleeves, just go get Qiu Qingzhi. Sorry, Wang Qi. Whenever Li Bing needs someone who's so dedicated to a case and can memorize the detail of each case by heart, just go get Qiu Qingzhi. Sorry, Cui Bei. Whenever Li Bing needs a protection, just go get Qiu Qingzhi. Heck, Qiu Qingzhi could catch and tame the original Demon Cat; Yi Zhihua by himself. He can be a real monster once he puts his heart in it. Sorry, Sun Bao. Whenever Li Bing needs a translator or someone who has a lot of connection in the city, just go get Qiu Qingzhi. He's the left General of the Imperial Guard, he will be a big help with his influence. Sorry, Alibaba.

In short : It absolutely will be the supremacy of the Qiu Qingzhi era!

See? He was so good that they 'better' killed Qiu Qingzhi.

After Qiu Qingzhi's tragic death, I felt like it's Li Bing who's drapped in moonlight, lonely, and sad since no one can replace Qiu Qingzhi. It's definitely a losing game to compete with a dead man. Therefore, it's only Li Bing who remains in the tragedy. Even though in the end, he has Mingjing Hall people who stay on his side, things will never be the same.

Now what? Even though the drama was over, I couldn't move on! Help! 😭😭😭

Forced to Believe Chapter 8- Total Divas Season 1 Episode 2

Author's Note: A short one! Just a few random silly scenes I decided to keep when I wrote it years ago. 

Chapter Summary: Melanie reveals she helps from time to time with dances thanks to her father and spends time with Jon

Words: 700+

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Hours before Monday Night Raw'

Melanie dances with Fandango before the show to practice as the Bellas look on.

Nikki (I didn't know Melanie could dance.)

Brie (What can't Melanie do?)

Nikki (Beat us.)

Brie (Very true.)

"Alright, do it with her." Melanie said in a focused voice as Fandango danced with a dancer.

"How was that?" Fandango asked with a grin.

Melanie chuckled. "The moves look cleaner. You got it."

Melanie (What I do is, whenever someone needs help cleaning up their ballroom dance moves or whatnot, they call me. So it's pretty fun. Gotta thank my dad for that)

"Wish you were my dancer partner." Fandango flirted as the Philly Diva remained unphased with his advances 

Melanie laughed. "I'm good, man,"

"She's ours Fandango." Jon said and put his arm around Melanie with Colby and Joe by his side.

"Where did you three come from?" she asked as Fandango and The Shield laugh.

'Next day, Tampa, FL'

Melanie is in the kitchen in her hotel room. Jon knocks on the door and she opens it. "Finally! What took you so long? I was about to cook by myself."

"Sorry, had to make a quick stop." Jon and Melanie get settled. "All right, what are we making?"

"You can just make the pancakes. I'll make the rest."

"Sounds good."

Melanie (Today Jon is going to help me out to cook. This is a first so let's see how he does.)

"Can I have ten eggs?" Jon asked.

Melanie looks at him like he's crazy. "You're joking right? Then I'll only have two. Look, how bout I just make all the eggs? That'll be better."

"Fine, but you better take as much as you can."

"Hey, I like eggs too. you know? Share!" she giggled and started to crack the last egg in the bowl.

Melanie (So later on after I cooked the eggs and the other food, I take a little break. As Jon cooks the pancakes, I go to the bathroom. When I come out, I see Jon watching TV. Are you kidding me?)

"Dude! You burnt the pancakes!" she yelled as she looked at the burnt pancakes on the frying pan.

He jumps off the couch and rushes to the kitchen. "Sorry!"

"Sorry!? Those pancakes looked good!"

"Just make some more."

"Make some more-­why you little!" Melanie grabs a spatula and starts to hit him with it. "I want my pancakes!" 

Jon laughs and tries to grab the spatula out her hand and then manages to pick her up over his shoulder. 

"Jon! I want my pancakes!"

She manages to get out of his hold and then trips him down to the floor. 

"I win. Now get back to cooking." She ordered

Melanie (After breakfast, everything went well. Including the yummy buttermilk pancakes, which I fixed! Now, Jon owes me a piggyback ride and some grapes.)

"When do I have to give you a piggyback ride?" Jon asked.

"Hm...when I say so."

'RAW'

Melanie hangs with Jojo and Eva Marie. "So I heard you'll be trying out to be Fandango's partner. How excited are you?" Melanie asked with a grin.

"Um, I'm going to need your help with dancing." Eva Marie said.

"Yeah sure, whatever moves that you need cleaning up, I'll help you out."

"No Melanie, she told me she can't dance." Jojo admitted.

"You can't dance?" Melanie looked confused.

Melanie (Eva! Good grief! Why are you putting yourself in this situation? She needs to get out of this situation before it's too late.)

"Dude, your dance is tonight! What are you gonna do?" Melanie exclaimed.

Eva Marie sighed. "I know..."

"You need to tell him now." Jojo said.

"Like right now." Melanie added.

Jojo (First Eva goes against WWE and dyes her head red. And then she comes out with this boyfriend that no one knows about and now this.)

Melanie (She's in a screwed up situation that's for sure.)

At the arena on the stage, the divas watch Eva Marie's dance with Fandango and she doesn't do that good. At all.

Melanie (I tried to tell her.)

Trinity (Eva, if you're a dancer then I'm a freaking astronaut.)

"Ooh, someone's in trouble..." Brie said as Jane looked mad and walked off the stage

"Do you see how mad Jane looks?" Nattie asked

Nattie (In WWE, your reputation is everything. It takes one thing to ruin your reputation.)

"Are we running this again?" Mark asked

"No. We're not doing it again." Fandango said and stormed off backstage.

Nattie (Eva Marie has really started off with a bad start in the WWE.)

[awellboiledicicle]

In my head Case is the size of a Clay Man with very good posture, by the time of FL.

Which, given that's the time of its intro to society at large, adds to the image of The Young Master, expressly because next to Veils--it came up with a new way to print patterns onto cloth and Veils had to track it down to find out more--it's rather small.

BUT is probably the size of a human toddler as a baby and it's very hard to not just get distracted imagining it climbing all over Pages and Kent. Just piggyback rides all over. With much fluff.

high heels (colin ritman x reader)

Request : Can you do Colin (Bandersnatch) x reader fic where reader goes to the office party (Tuckersoft probably?) and has to wear high heels. Since she doesn't get used to it, the shoe heels just gets broken, causing her feet in pain and then Colin offers her a piggyback ride? Thanks xx

Warnings : fl u f f oh m y go d

Words : 800

A/N : I think I changed the request ever so slightly but it basically the same, and this request is so cute I had sooo much fun with it. requests are open as always.

***

Your face lights up as your eyes meet with his. You were currently at the offices release party for the new game, bandersnatch. You had worked at Tuckersoft for almost a year now, and after meeting the acquaintance of Colin Ritman the two of you had quickly evolved into friends. You never minded the office parties that came around when a new game was released, they were quite fun as long as everyone held their alcohol. As the company grew and parties were a more common occurrence, you had opted for a simple outfit this time - a comfortable loose dress that hung to your knees, and a pair of heels that were at least a few inches tall.

Now these heels, they were painful. As you make your way to the where Colin’s standing, you brush your hair out of your face and wince as you try not to stumble. Once you finally meet him he smirks at your grimace, looking down as he notices you seem a few inches taller than usual.

“Having troubles?” he says, chuckling slightly at the glare you shoot him.

“Of course not. These are brand new shoes, and my legs look amazing if I do say so myself.” You respond as he shakes his head laughing. Playful banter was just a thing that existed between the two of you, ever since you had first met. Flirting was commonplace, you just didn’t want to ruin any friendship the two of you already had, mainly suppressing your feelings.

“Fair point, but only if you don’t sprain an ankle.”

“Yeah yeah, i’ll be fine.” you reply, taking a sip of a drink he had handed to you and glancing over the room. You almost spit out your drink at the sight you see before you. You smack Colin's shoulder and he snorts as he looks in the same direction. Stefan was across the room, taking shots of an unknown liquid and looking as if he might pass out at any second. He puts his arms in the air and yells something incomprehensible. You’re wheezing laughing at this point.

“You reckon we should help the poor fellow?” you say, and Colin shakes his head.

“I thinks he’s having a mighty fine time as it is.” he snickers.

You smack his arm, “Well i’m gonna get another drink, i’ll be back in a sec.” He nods as you hobble off, putting your heart and soul into balancing on these heels that were already invoking blisters all over your feet. By the time you make your way back to Colin you’re about ready collapse. You set the drinks down before falling right into him.

“Woah, trying to get as drunk as Stefan?” he teases.

You let out a grunt and push yourself off of him as you look down, frustrated at your shoes. Yeah, you were done. You gently take them of and sigh as your feet are quickly relieved. Now barefoot, you look up at Colin who was once again, much taller than you. You let out a groan,

“It didn’t take me long to give up, huh.” you laugh.

“I’m not surprised.” he says taking one of the heels from your hands and examining it. “And you’re supposed to walk in these?” he says with a look of absolute confusion that you can’t help but laugh at.

“Yes, but clearly my willpower isn’t nearly as strong as I thought it was.”

He glances over you and gives a look you can’t quite comprehend.

“Well if it makes you feel any better i’m willing to be your main mode of transportation.” he says and turns his back to you. “Here, hop on.”

You almost laugh at the childishness of the idea, but after a moment of hesitation you shrug and jump onto his back. You wrap your legs around his waist and let out a small squeal as he adjusts his posture.

“All ready your highness?” he teases.

“Of course.” you respond.

You two remained like that for a while, he would wander around and the pair of you would make conversation with someone, first explaining your strange position, garnering a chuckle from most people, and knowing looks from others. You thought he might get tired after a while but he insisted there wasn’t any issue. As the night dwindled down your energy quickly depleted and you found yourself resting your head on his shoulder.

“Colin?”

“Yeah?”

You yawn and pat his shoulder blade,

“You think we could go home? I might pass out any second.” you say sleepily.

“I’m glad you said something Y/N, I was beginning to think we’d be here all night.”

He gently sets you down and you grab his hand for support as your bare feet touch the ground. Your eyes meet, and in a moment understanding you smile at each other faintly and begin to walk out of the party. He doesn’t let go of your hand, and together you make your way out, high heels long forgotten.

requests are open!

Using Facebook for marketing&promotion - CONS:

1. It is difficult to engage with Facebook users who don’t like or comment. Facebook has created a requirement where people need to actually subscribe to page updates in order to keep receiving them if they don’t engage frequently with a page. Users can also choose to unfollow or unsubscribe from posts while still counting as page audience, which means even your promoted feeds will still be hidden on their newsfeed. This makes it difficult to know sometimes if you’re actually reaching your core customer base.

2. Advertising is based on bid mechanisms. If you use Facebook for Business to engage in advertising, then it is true that clicks start at just $0.01 and impressions begin at $0.02. The only problem is that these advertisements can be outbid and therefore only run a few times at most over the course of a month. That keeps costs down, but it also means that few, if any, people will ever see the advertisement. It is here that the small business has a clear disadvantage.

3. There is a time requirement that must be fulfilled. It takes time to run a Facebook for Business strategy. Daily monitoring is required to address negative comments or customer service concerns. Facebook is running 24/7, so it doesn’t take long sometimes for negative comments to build. You’ve also got your content marketing, customer engagement needs, and other social media duties to fulfill at the same time. To do it right, Facebook for Business is easily a full time job.

4. The amount of spam can be incredible. Forget the trolls that come along and try to stir up trouble. If your online presence gets large enough and people believe you have some influence, then the spam links and posts that your content is going to receive will be incredible. Many other businesses will try to boost their own reputation with a piggyback ride on your own. Even if you put restrictions in place, all someone has to do is like your page to post a comment. This adds another level to the monitoring that is required to keep your online reputation where it needs to be.

5. Business groups are difficult to create on Facebook. People on Facebook are typically concerned with their social lives or their home life more than they are their professional life. This means they don’t want to talk business online unless there are goods or services that can improve their social or home life in some way. If you’re a B2B professional, it can be very difficult to make Facebook for Business work for you.

6. You don’t have the control. Although you’re utilizing a marketing service through Facebook, you’re not the one who is in control of that service. Because you’re promoting yourself through Facebook, you are subject to the various rule changes, privacy policy changes, and other procedures that seem to be continuously in flux. Your business page can even be deleted without your permission if Facebook feels like it is violating their terms of services.

7. It is difficult to determine if a profile engaging with your business is real or fake. Facebook has begun to crack down on user profiles that do not seem to be real. Some users have been locked out of their accounts until they can provide Facebook with evidence that their name is real. Even so, it is easy enough to create a fake name that sounds real to fool the automatic screens so that trolling or spamming can occur without consequence.

8. All of your posts are public posts. Business pages aren’t given the same luxury that personal profile pages have in managing who can access their posts. All posts on a business page are public posts. Anyone who likes your page is also made visible to the public, which can expose people to the potential of identity theft if someone is diligent enough to follow a data trail. If not managed properly, this could potentially expose a business to the possibility of litigation.

9. Conversion rates can be quite discouraging. Although some businesses have seen massive conversion rates with their Facebook for Business presence, the average conversion rate for advertising hovers right around the 1% mark. That’s 50% lower than other online advertising options which are available. This may mean the costs of promoting your specific brand may not be worth the value of the conversions that are being received.

10. Sometimes ads that seem like they are targeted actually go to the wrong demographic. Facebook for Business, like any marketing strategy, isn’t 100% perfect. You could place an advertisement that is intended for users who live in Miami, FL and wind up having the advertising reach people who list Miami, OH as the place of their advanced education. This means that advertisement monitoring must happen on a daily basis to make sure the proper demographics are being reached… but if false data is put into a profile, there’s nothing that can be done to stop this.

11. It is difficult to determine what your tone is through your content. The tone of voice on Facebook is difficult to manage. Even if something seems extremely clear to you, there’s a good chance that a small percentage of people are going to misinterpret what has been posted and take it personally and negatively. This means you must always be prepared to battle fires that get started. One simple status can create negative impressions with users that could destroy your business.
