I know I keep mentioning it but

Wukong crying and cradling Mk was the best thing that happened in the whole series.

Argue with your mom. I'm right.

THE Immortal, the Legend, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven has a weakness in his little brother. His baby brother, man.

Lord save me because this is killing me. I'm dead. Deceased. Expired. Embalmed.

Do you think in the "Out of Tears" video the cameras just happened to be rolling when Charlie went in the telephone booth to call Shirley and ask her to come pick him up from this bloody music video set and then captured his disappointment when he realized it was just a prop? I do.

Fernando S1E5 - “Mission Accomplished”

[bjyxobsessed]

The behind the scenes videos - SO MANY COINCIDENCES! 🔥🤭😆

🍬XZ’s video opens with a tiny video screen (and don’t think I don’t see all those little read and green lights!) and later in Yibo’s video there’s the coordination with the TV props and this shot with the video camera… almost as if they were making it look like he filmed XZ’s earlier 😉

By the way the music in Yibo’s video is Dayflower by Cathedral Bells - gotta love how the Captain hammers 🔨🔨🔨😂

XZ’s video featured a glimpse of a white peony - and we know whose nickname that was when he first started in the industry 😏

And just a little of my own CPN, it seems like the photo shoots where Yibo is rumored to be with XZ or they are getting ready for an event together, we catch these little glimpses of fond smiles… Which seem so reminiscent of interactions when they were filming and promoting that I like to think he’s looking at Yibo 🥹

But the 🍬 to beat ALL other candy is the video XZ dropped on Douyin after the event. Yibo left the venue early (supposedly he had to get back to his filming set - Baby had a LONG day with work in the early morning then prepping for and doing the show).

The post says something like “It happened that as Xiao Zhan walked in, light and darkness meets.” UM HELLO? Yes sir we DID see the two of you in black and white but thanks for hitting me over the head about it 😂

We got soft-focus Xiao Zhan walking around - a house? Hotel room? Like he’s waiting for someone… With the smooth r&b jazzy sounds of Aaron Taylor singing “I will leave the lights on until you get home” before the music transitions to something you keep on your “Sexy Alone Time with Bae” playlist…

YOU CAN NOT TELL ME ALL THIS WAS NOT PURPOSEFUL! Imagine your partner is working so hard, squeezes some time to be able to show up at the same event with you, then has to be right back at work… It’s a rough day for them🥺 Isn’t this just the type of sweet shout out you’d post if you lived in a world where you couldn’t shout it from the rooftops?? 🥹

It’s still hitting me right in the feels… XZ doesn’t drop 🍬candy, he drops 💣BOMBS that destroy with sweetness…

All this and I didn’t even touch on the rumor that some XZ-only fans spotted them together at the hotel or the video from right after the show ended and XZ came backstage, where fans say you can hear him asking his staff where Yibo is…

Anyway, this is all CPN and dreams 😏😉

GOD okay so zero amount of surprise about this but the way Aaron Ehasz talks about Ned Stark is just like...

Yeah, it's legitimately a sacrifice on Ned's part to let everyone think Jon is his son, in that it puts a stain on his reputation, since it's also really driven home how important honesty and loyalty are to him (like he's functionally incapable of playing the Game of Thrones because of it) but...

HE 👏 ALSO 👏 SACRIFICED 👏 CATELYN'S 👏 REPUTATION

Not to mention her sense of security in her own marriage, particularly given how precarious her position as a woman in the setting society is, AND her sense of security in her children's future, and he did all of that with exactly ZERO of her input or consent. Oh, boo hoo—Ned had to go his whole life with everyone, including his wife, thinking he betrayed her when really he was always faithful! Catelyn is such a bitch for being cold to Jon and acting like letting him live with them is some huge sacrifice! ... okay, but you literally cannot have any of that without the fact that Catelyn is going her whole life believing her husband betrayed her, while she also has no option to leave him that wouldn't put her somewhere way shittier (because this is fucking ASOIAF) and unlike Ned, she doesn't even fucking know that it's all an altruistic lie.

And sure, Ned is the tragic Good Man(tm) in a setting where There Are No Good Men(tm)—I'm not surprised it comes at his wife's expense, because this is fucking ASOIAF, and I assume there's even less consideration given to her position in the show (which I didn't watch, as there were already many reasons I'd stopped reading the books, but I would be truly shocked if they acknowledged it there).

I guess I'm like ???????? because we literally just had a major story beat where the entire point was that doing harm to your wife, even if it's "only" emotional harm, even for the sake of your own child's life, is pretty fucking bad? It's explicitly described as monstrous, in a story where "what is a monster?" is a central theme. Like... sir, do you not watch your own show? Or did Devon Ghiel write that entire arc?

(This is in like 5% of the interview though, and the larger point he's trying to make is actually very interesting... it's just a really weird example. But the rest is really good! Go listen to it!)
