hi @allpiesforourown I just saw your Winx Club fandom Binghe post and it made me think of an au. So, modern au, both Shen Yuan and Binghe are involved in multiple fandoms and are both legendary posters in each of them. The thing is...they hate each other. Their online fights go down in fandom history. The Epic Battles of Peerless Cucumber and the Heavenly Pillar. There are fan accounts and Youtube videos dedicated to explaining their messy fights. There's a whole wiki page about it. Binghe has the most unhinged takes and Shen Yuan drives himself mad trying to reasonably dismantle those takes and why they are stupid and what is wrong with you?!?! But, Binghe comes back with somehow solid sounding arguments? That are somehow so crazy and make you lose all sense of right and wrong and turn everything on their head that you actually are like "wait, this guy might be onto something" until you actually remember the context and go "this guy is batshit insane! lock him up!"

So, they go head to head. A lot. Across many fandoms because they actually have the same taste in media to the point that they feel they can't escape each other. Every time they enter a new fandom, they see the comments and posts in the online communities and are like "you got to be effing kidding me!! That guy is HERE too?!?!?!!" Binghe also posts the same type of scathing reviews that Peerless Cucumber is infamous for, which are good, except for the unhinged takes sprinkled in with the logical. And that's what drives Shen Yuan so crazy. Because this "Heavenly Pillar" is actually a good critic and able to comprehend complex themes that so many others miss or misunderstand. He also completely misconstrues stuff with his unhinged takes.

And Binghe, he's just gonna fight to the death to defend his blorbos and ships.

The thing is, Shen Yuan is Binghe's tutor or something irl and Bingbing's got the biggest crush on him. Obviously. And, they talk about shows and books sometimes, and have good, deep discussions about them, finding they have a lot of the same tastes. Shen Yuan will lend Binghe a book or recommend a show and vice versa. They have fun. They do not share their online handles. Shen Yuan does not want this sweet little white sheep he's been tutoring since middle school knowing about some of the stuff he reads and messing up his image (he has an irl reputation to uphold!), and Binghe doesn't want his crush to know exactly how crazy he is and about all the teacher/tutor x student stuff he posts about, thinking it will dash his chances with his precious, sweet Yuan-gege. He's in college now, he might finally have his chance! So, they keep their online lives separate from their irl ones, not just with each other, but with everyone in their lives. Best not to mix them.

And so, things continue until one day, Peerless Cucumber suddenly becomes the Heavenly Pillar's number one supporter. He's going back and ripping apart everyone who's calling the heavenly pillar a lunatic and to lock him up saying "you don't know what's been through! there could be reasons he's like this! and are those takes really that bad!?!?" (yes. they are) People are reeling at the 180 seeming overnight that came out of nowhere after years of rivalry and hate thrown between them. He's also backing the Heavenly Pillar's takes and headcanons up by saying "yeah, I can see how it could be viewed that way. Totally valid." and then presenting a bunch of canon moments and bts and creator interviews to support it. (It's still all totally insane. But now there's two of them) It makes people actually start to question their sanity because Peerless Cucumber is normally the voice of reason, so if he's agreeing with the Heavenly Pillar, then are they the ones that are actually crazy??

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan is in his apartment, reading webnovels on his phone with his new boyfriend's head resting in his lap, idly petting his fluffy hair. Binghe's never been happier.

And, in case you were wondering, Binghe's Heavenly Pillar account has basically turned into a Peerless Cucumber Fan Account. He gushes in his replies to Peerless Cucumber, praising him, and saying how amazing his analysis' are. He'll also, in his own comments and posts, reference Peerless Cucumber posts constantly.

Yes, people are shipping them (they have for a long time, but now it's becoming a more widespread thing). Yes, they have wiki ship page. Yes, their ship name is PillarCum.

ATLA Gender Bender: Firelord Ozai

"You will learn respect, and suffering will be your teacher."

The principle behind this AU is to swap the genders of the main cast (Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko) and other characters where it enhances the story. This means that most child characters, like Azula and Suki, are also swapped, but adults are swapped on a case by case basis. This is especially true for characters who had a formative influence on the main characters, like parents and other role models. If you swap a given character and their parent(al figure)s, this alters the character's personality more than swapping that character without swapping their parents. Sometimes this effect is subtle, and sometimes it is large. This is why I would avoid swapping the genders of a character's parents, unless it makes sense to do so.

In the case of Zuko's parents, I do not think it detracts from the story to swap their genders. I would even go so far to say that some things are enhanced by swapping both Ozai and Ursa. Female Ozai fits surprisingly well into the role of an "evil empress". "Urson" also works as a "papa bear" character. A female Ozai would contrast well with a female Zuko, serving as a "good queen" "evil queen" dichotomy. I also find it fascinating to think about what would change and what would stay the same if Ozai's gender was also swapped. 

I picture female Ozai being no less evil or sadistic as normal Ozai. Unlike Ozai, she would have to maintain the image of a good mother to her children, and a good daughter to her father. This is especially interesting if she is the first female Fire Lord in a line of male Fire Lords. She would be a queen who has to strike the perfect balance of femininity and power in order to please her court. A woman who possesses bewitching beauty to conceal a wicked, sadistic soul. I think she would be very narcissistic and cruel, obsessed with being beautiful and powerful at once.

I attempted to convey this through her design, which could be tweaked in many respects. To explain the rationale behind her design, the Fire Lords of Avatar draw from East and Southeast Asian influences. Firelord Ozai's hairstyle is Chinese inspired (see: atlaculture.tumblr.com/post/65…), but his clothing is Burmese inspired (see: atlaculture.tumblr.com/post/63…). As such, I decided to base the hairstyles of female Fire Lords on East Asian hairstyles worn by female rulers.

It feels inevitable that female Ozai would be compared to Wu Zetian. I wanted to minimize these comparisons, and make it clear that female Ozai is not supposed to be a representation of Wu Zetian. Doing so would unfairly demonize a real historical figure. Still, I could not resist including a couple of elements inspired by Fan Bingbing as Wu Zetian in "The Empress of China" (see: dwvyw8kf1avne.cloudfront.net/s…). This is what inspired female Ozai's red makeup, and the stylized phoenix headdress that she wears. Other design elements are not inspired by Wu Zetian, but other portrayals of powerful queens and empresses in Chinese dramas. Namely, Empress Du Feihong in "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine". I hope that the final design is so stylized that it is clear that she is not supposed to represent a real historical figure. I attempted to simplify her headdress in a way that could be easy enough to animate while still making it clear that she is wearing a ridiculous amount of gold and rubies on her head. This is meant to contrast with female Zuko's design. Where female Zuko is humble, female Ozai is vain.

In the end, I am dissatisfied with the design I came up with, for reasons I will explain under "OUTFIT DESCRIPTIONS".

This design approach diverges from the design principles behind the one female Firelord shown in Avatar, that being Izumi. I took liberties with hairstyles, but did not change the masculine style of robes. I felt this would diverge too far from the pre-established rules of Avatar. Additionally, I think it creates an interesting contrast between a feminine hairstyle and masculine robes, especially if Ozai and "Zuka" are the first female Firelords in a long series of male Firelords.

The phoenix imagery actually makes more sense if Ozai was a woman, since the fenghuang is traditionally a feminine entity. I also think it would be cool if she was still named "Ozai", kind of like how "Ty Lee" is very feminine but has a masculine name. It would also imply that "Ozai" isn't the name she was born with, but a name she adopted for its meaning "large presence". 

I picture Grey Griffin as the voice of female Ozai. Specifically, how she voices adult characters, like Ming Hua in LOK and the female Viltrumite from Invincible. I don't think that she should have the same voice as Azula, but Grey Griffin could give her a venomous and vicious voice that would fit her really well.

OUTFIT DESCRIPTIONS:

1: Firelord Costume

I am dissatisfied with the hairstyle I came up with for female Ozai's Firelord costume. I have written previously about my concerns that viewers would conflate her with the real life Wu Zetian. In order to minimize these comparisons, I tried to make elements of her hairstyle abstract instead of authentic to real life costumes. However, I do not think I was successful in achieving my goal. When I first started drawing female Ozai, I knew little about hanfu, and have since learned more about traditional Chinese costumes. The crown that I gave her is clearly inspired by fengguan, which is a distinctly Chinese element. Given Ozai's affinity for phoenixes, I can't not picture female Ozai wearing some sort of fengguan. The design I came up with is flawed, as it is something that "looks Chinese" without being authentic to Chinese costume design. This could come across as offensive. The best approach would be to fuse the Chinese element of the fengguan with other cultural influences, so that the result is something that is not specifically Chinese. I took some time to try to come up with a better design, but to be transparent I am approaching creative burn out with this project and was unable to come up with a better design. I guess this speaks to my limits as an artist.

With all of this said, these designs are best viewed as a first draft and not the final product. These are meant to give an impression of what her character would look like, and could use more sets of eyes to review and improve the design.

2: "Phoenix Queen" Costume

In the second costume, her cape is somewhat inspired by Maleficent's cape in "Sleeping Beauty". Maleficent's appearance also helped inspire female Ozai's widow's peak and facial structure. As I mentioned before, her costume is inspired by the real life apsara. She has dressed herself in the image of a goddess of fire.

3: "Phoenix Queen" Costume, after removing crown and cape

The third costume is supposed to be how female Ozai would appear at the start of her fight with "Aangi". I intended for her to have the same body type as the female Viltrumite "Thula" from "Invincible". I also think that female Ozai's voice would sound like Thula's. I picture her as a warrior queen who spends a lot of time training, giving her an athletic and muscular appearance. I think she would appear more physically intimidating if she has some muscle mass on her frame. This being said, there are a lot of different athletic body types. A less bulky but athletic body type could arguably fit her better.

4: Appearance after being defeated by "Aangi"

The fourth costume is supposed to be how female Ozai would appear at the end of her fight with "Aangi". Since she doesn't have a goattee, I think "Aangi" would grab her by the gold part of her top. I think it would be cool and dramatic if "Aangi" ripped this part of her costume off. In the heat of battle, female Ozai loses the gold parts of her costume, and a waterbending attack by "Aangi" washes off her makeup, exposing her as a false goddess.

Her finger nails and toenails are painted and sharpened, to resemble the talons of a phoenix.

Hey guys, here is some Fan Bingbing for… I dunno why, I just felt like it? It felt right this morning so I went with it. These pictures are all from last summer when she was in France for… I can't remember now. I just remember I intended to post her more during that period but somehow didn't so I have all these lovely outfits she wore that I haven't given much attention. Look, no matter what season or year it is there are a couple of constant truths. Fan Bingbing is remarkably beautiful and she wears amazing clothing. So enjoy. Today I want to fuck Fan Bingbing.

[rainbowsky]

As someone who lives in Southeast Asia, let me tell you : the scandal will NOT have any significant impact at all.

Why? Because we have no idea (about the scandal AND the person, like who the fuck this man/woman thing is type) and do not care enough for other actors/actresses beside the most famous ones (in this case, Wang Yibo). So little coverage about a Chinese star here except someone as famous Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Dilraba, etc.

So if a movie fails in Southeast Asia, it's definitely NOT because of any supporting actress/actor's scandal in China.

This is in reference to a previous post.

I think you misunderstand what we were talking about. We weren't talking about whether a bit-part actress' rumored tax evasion scandal will be enough to turn away SE Asian audiences from seeing a film. If that was the only issue, I totally agree - no one's going to give a flying fuck about that. They'll buy tickets or not based on the actor they want to see.

This is about the way the Chinese public, government and industry respond to artists who are deemed immoral, criminal, etc. by 'disappearing' and blacklisting them. You don't seem to be informed on that angle (or else I think you'd have immediately picked up on what we were talking about).

If you don't think a tax evasion scandal can kill an artist and their projects, just take a look at Fan Bingbing, Deng Lun, Yuan Bingyan and Zhao Wei, or some of the big Chinese influencers who have been canceled due to tax evasion.

It's not uncommon for an artist in this situation to be removed from/edited out of projects - even ones that were ready to air - and entire projects have been completely removed from streaming services and made no longer available for viewing.

And this isn't just about the industry/government. Chinese audiences will often turn totally against artists who are involved in this type of scandal.

This can have a disastrous effect on everyone else involved in those projects, even though they are totally innocent of any wrongdoing.

Because One and Only has already been released it's at least been able to reach audiences, but if she's found guilty of the accusations against her there's still a possibility it could be held back from release on streaming platforms indefinitely, or until edits are made.

I don't think it's hugely likely given that the project has already been released and she's only in a smallish side role (it's more likely she'll just be removed from credits, promo materials, etc.), but it's definitely a very real and troubling possibility - especially if the offenses are serious and she's found guilty of criminality. This is just the way the industry works in China.

[pink-strawberry-kissess]

You know, I know that she was dubbed over (by Sally Cahill, og Ada Wong) because her (Li BingBing’s) accent was “too strong.”

But she sounds really good here. People need to realize that she had to learn English and she sounds really amazing all things considered. It’s kind of a shame that she was dubbed over. I can understand that there were some parts of words that seemed off, and it was clear that she was not a native english speaker. And most people would be able to tell that she can not speak english fully. Although Li BingBing nailed the look of Ada Wong, I can see that maybe they could’ve casted someone else just as good who was also a native english speaker.

I think she still did really well considering the fact that she had to learn English. And a lot of her sentences come off very naturally. But i can completely hear the parts where she struggles. She still has to think in (mandarin) and then translate it into english and then say it with the right accent.

I guess the idea of Ada Wong being “properly” represented by also an Asian voice actress was always a point that we needed to get to eventually. 

Lily Gao isn’t a “diversity hire,” in the way that people think that it is. 

This is representation. This is a female character who has ALWAYS been portrayed as asian and was always casted by white women. Going so far as to have her face modelled after white women as well.

when you are speaking from a white person’s perspective (and living in a predominantly white area), you will NEVER understand what it’s like to grow up knowing that you are different and look different and sound different. 

As an asian woman myself, it’s so disheartening to see that the smallest amount of representation in resident evil (considering that Jill Valentine is entirely white washed at this point) is SUCH A HARD PILL TO SWALLOW FOR SOME PEOPLE. like GOD FORBID we have Ada, an asian woman, FINALLY be voiced by an asian woman. AND DON’T BE A FUCKING DUNCE. we KNOW that she’s voiced by a japanese woman for the japanese version etc. chinese for the chinese version etc. get out of my face with the whataboutism

We��re talking about the english version of the game which has systematically always erased a part of Ada’s asian background. Either by having her be voiced by a white woman, or a having her face modelled after a white woman.

Now we’re not shaming these women at all. I love a lot of the actresses who have portrayed Ada. They all did splendid jobs and have varying degrees of fans for each one. Some love Sally, some love Courtenay, some love Lily, some love Jolene. I’m not the hugest fan of Sally’s campiness but I’ve grown to love it. Courtenay was so smooth and sexy, but sometimes even too sexy for sentences that should’ve been normal sounding imo. Lily was cold (which makes sense for her character) but so expressive at times. Jolene had a rasp that I wasn’t a fan of, but her scenes with Leon were so tender and sweet. That’s all fine and good. We’re free to have our opinions about that

THIS WAS A HUGE RANT ABOUT REPRESENTATION AND ADA LOL SORRY

━◈ 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.

[bfdreaming]

Oh, actually, I just thought of a fic idea. I'm way too sick to write it but here it is if anyone else wants to.

Peak Lord SQQ is on a solo mission when for whatever reason, he de-ages into Wu Yanzi-era Xiao Jiu. Teenage SJ wakes up in the woods or something with all this expensive stuff, and figures they'd just robbed a wealthy cultivator, though it's weird that he's wearing these ill-fitting fancy clothes. Probably some weird scheme that Wu Yanzi didn't bother to explain, but he doesnt seem to be around, so SJ figures he might as well take the stuff and book it... after changing into some less ostentatious but still ill-fitting robes. Whoever this guy was, he sure was well-prepared...

He wanders for a bit, getting his bearings and hoping he isn't found by Wu Yanzi, a recently robbed cultivator, or a dead cultivator's friends, when he runs into Luo Binghe, recently orphaned. LBH is either too kind or too earnest or too hopeful or something, and SJ thinks, "This kid is not gonna survive on the street. UGH" And he acquires a little brother, against his will, thankyouverymuch. Binghe naturally latches onto him like a barnacle and SJ pretends to hate it.

Meanwhile, one YQY is losing his goddamn mind. LQG goes out to look for SQQ, and eventually identifies one of his fans, now held by a familiar-looking scrappy teenager. LQG pursues, but does not use his words, and said scrappy teenager assumes this is a friend of the cultivator Wu Yanzi had robbed, come for revenge... or maybe to get the stuff back, but he's pawned some of it and the rest is his now, fuck off. ...Binghe can have some if he's good.

LQG very much doubts this kid is behind his martial brother's disappearance but he's his only lead, and our dear War God naturally does not really explain his intentions at any point. Thus begins a game of cat and mouse that LQG reluctantly enjoys. Some of the tactics are familiar, and the kid is familiar too, so he does gain some suspicions. These are confirmed when SJ summons Xiu Ya, much to his own surprise.

LQG, knowing YQY is beside himself, decides to go ahead and send him a message saying he's found SQQ, but bringing him back might take a little longer. No further elaboration. YQY drops everything to immediately head to the location specified, and runs into SJ and Bingbing as they're trying to skip town. Cue a reunion between a very confused scrappy street kid and the most pathetic Sect Leader.

7 Celebrities Who Disappeared and We Still Don’t Know Where They Are

Can you imagine how hard it is to pull off a good act of vanishing? VERY hard. Just ask Steven Leung, who tried to make it look like he’d died during 9/11. Spoiler, that didn’t work. And now can you imagine someone like Beyonce just disappearing into thin air? That seems impossible. Yet, sometimes it happens.

Scott Smith

Scott Smith was a founding member of the band Loverboy but on November 30, 2000, he mysteriously disappeared at sea.

Smith, his girlfriend, and their two friends went sailing after Loverboy’s concert in Vancouver, B.C. When they were nearing San Francisco, the weather got stormy with gigantic waves. One of them knocked Smith of the vessel and into the water.

“We turned back around but couldn’t find any of the debris or cushions or the man-overboard pole,” said his friend Bill Ellis. Coast Guards and private searches couldn’t find him. His body was never found.

Rico Harris

In 2000, Rico Harris played basketball for a very famous team the Harlem Globetrotters but because of his drinking addiction he couldn’t pursue this career and went on to work as a security guard. In 2014, he was fired from there for drunkenness. When he left his mom’s house in LA and went to Seattle and stay with his girlfriend, he vanished somewhere along State Route 16 near Sacramento.

His backpack and phone were found on the roadside, but he was nowhere to be seen. Days after his disappearance people were reporting sightings of a giant person walking alongside State Route 16. Human footprints were found in the sand but not Harris.

Fan Bingbing

Fan Bingbing is a Chinese A-list celebrity, one of the few Chinese actresses to make it to the international market. But in 2018 her movie contracts leaked onto social media and it turned out that she’d been using fake contacts to avoid paying taxes. And on July 1, she disappeared.

People think that the authorities reeducating her this way and also show other stars the consequences they could be facing. Later in October, she released an apology on her social media and the Chinese authorities stated that she would be paying a fine. Nevertheless, she still has not been seen in public.

Bison Dele

Bison Dele whose real name is Brian Williams was a basketball player who was famously odd. When he quit basketball he was seen firing off bazookas into the desert in Lebanon, and then wandering through Asia, living as some sort of rich hobo.

In 2002, when he was in Australia, he learned to sail, bought himself a boat named the Hakuna Matata and decided to sail from Tahiti to Hawaii. He, his girlfriend, Serena Karlan, the ship’s captain, Bertran Saldo, and Dele’s older brother, Miles Dabord were on board but they never made it to Hawaii. Everyone but Dabord vanished at sea.

Dabord was arrested in Phoenix two months later trying to buy gold with his brother’s money. When he was released on bail, he committed suicide via insulin overdose. Supposedly he was prone to violence and envied his brother’s success.

If you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Oscar Zeta Acosta

Chicano activist Oscar Zeta Acosta relentlessly consumed pills, hallucinogens, and drunk alcohol in huge quantities. In May 1974, he went to his family home in Mexico and just vanished. His friend Hunter S. Thompson spent years searching for him and later claimed that he was probably killed in a drug hit or a political assassination. However, Acosta’s body was never found.

Richey Edwards

A rhythm guitarist and lyricist of Manic Street Preachers Richey Edwards was a mid-1990s British rock idol whom The Guardian called “a lightning rod of sorts for adolescent angst.” He was handsome, moody, and has a talent for writing lyrics about depression.

In February 1995 he disappeared from his hotel room and his car was found abandoned near the Severn Bridge. In 2008 he was legally declared dead but his body was never found.

Jim Sullivan

In March 1975, Jim Sullivan was heading to Nashville but he never made it there. His car was found abandoned in the desert outside Santa Rosa, New Mexico and his clothes, wallet, and guitar were all found in a nearby motel. One of his friends said that if Sullivan was planning to vanish, he would’ve never left his guitar behind.

I don't know the general feel for the svsss donghua, but one thing I can never forgive is how they completely changed Binghe's character in that scene w/ Liu Mingyan. Why would they do that!?! I mean I get that they were trying to censor the ✨gay✨ but they totally changed Binghe's whole personality there!

In the book, Shen Qingqiu is trying to get a look under Liu Mingyan's veil out of curiosity of what she looks likes, Binghe sees SQQ's attention on her, get's jealous, and strikes up a conversation w/ her while he carefully leads their horses away from Shen Qingqiu.

In the donghua, the thing w/ Shen QIngqiu is the same, but when Binghe sees, instead of getting jealous he thinks something like "Oh! That's the type of disciple shizun likes! I must talk to her to learn how to be a better disciple for shizun!"

That totally changes Binghe's character. The guy is jealous. That's just who he is. It is a constant throughout the whole series. Bingbing wants shizun for himself. Even if they were censoring it, they still could have done a jealous Binghe. It's not just people who are in love that get jealous! You can still make him want to be Shen Qingqiu's favorite disciple! You can still make him want all of shizun's praise! You can still make him jealous of shizun giving attention to others! Seriously! Isn't Ming Fan jealous in that sense already in both books and donghua? Why not also make Binghe jealous like that instead of changing a core part of him? Binghe is possessive, and as such, he gets jealous.

Like, this is literally such an integral part of who Luo Binghe is!! His desire to be at Shen QIngqiu's side and his jealousy when he sees other's at his side instead push so much of the story and drive him. Even if you take away the gay, Binghe is still a disciple obsessed with his shizun, wanting to be a good disciple, help Shen Qingqiu, keep him safe, lift some of his burdens... There are plenty of characters in all types of stories who are like that for each other that don't have a romantic connection. Even within svsss universe, aren't Shen Qingqiu's other disciples really protective of him and eager to help him with anything?

It just makes no sense to me why they would change and censor it in this way.

5 years of experience in eye care

I am a person who attaches great importance to eye care because the eyes are prone to aging. From that year when I saw a real man and saw Yang Mi bring a bunch of eye products to military training, I realized the importance of selling age for the eyes. In the following years, I have always attached great importance to the eyes and never relaxed. My eye care methods:

The cotton swab in the morning reduces swelling around the eyes.

I have developed a set of techniques for applying eye cream myself, and I also use small tools to do some basic massages.

1-2 eye exercises per week

Eye lotion application

Apply thick eye cream before going to bed, then cover with a complete eye mask/steam eye mask to sleep Firstly, when combined with a comprehensive eye cream, such as VIIcode T2 Oxygen Eye Cream O2.2 version, it really has a particularly good effect on dark circles and fine lines. Then I will share with you my daily operation for reducing swelling. If you have swelling like me, you can try my method, which includes reducing swelling. Using frozen cotton swabs is a daily routine for me. I take out two medical cotton swabs and dip them into eye cream. Then, I put the swabs on plastic wrap and wrap them in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. The next morning, I will apply a warm towel around my eyes several times. Take out a cotton swab and apply eye cream with it first. Under my eyes, I apply it lightly, but due to swelling, I use a cotton swab to roll my eyelids and apply a little force to press them vertically downwards. It takes about 3 minutes for the swollen eye blisters to disappear by half. After this process, if I want to take care of my skin during the day, I will apply eye masks. If I want to apply makeup, I will apply it directly. At night, I just apply eye cream normally without using frozen cotton swabs. The way I apply eye cream is by point application. After spreading it evenly with my fingers, I will use some massage sticks to help the eye cream absorb better. I won't use particularly exaggerated force to pull and lift my eyes. I have also seen Fan Bingbing's care methods, and most of her care methods are in line with my approach. But her facial massage techniques are all very exaggerated, which is not very effective for me, so skincare is just borrowing the part that suits me from others, and not borrowing what cannot be borrowed. After the initial absorption of the eye cream, I will do some eye lifting exercises. The eye lifting part is very, very necessary. When I was in college, my makeup teacher told us that as long as we do eye lifting exercises every day, we will be at least much younger than our peers when we get older.

Fan Bingbing continues to be at Cannes and it continues to pay dividends. I am impressed at how well she does there. Not in the sense that it is unexpected but it does seem like every look manages to be out of the park every time. Those stairs at Cannes have seen some things, I could have just made this post pictures of her against those railings over the years and it would have been top flight. In my opinion at least. I suppose some people might disagree. As a matter of fact, I will say anyone who doesn't reblog this disagrees. Some people would say that will include the vast majority of the world and i would say you are right and people who reblog this are smarter and have better taste than anyone who doesn't reblog it. Some could argue with that but they'd have to reblog it to do so and I think they'd come to see things my way if they did. Anyway, she manages to look elegant and beautiful in a way that is really hard to articulate. Like... there is a grace to her that not a lot of people ever manage. I post a lot of very attractive women here but grace is it's own thing and she possesses it. So here she is. Today I want to fuck Fan Bingbing.

It Was "Not Easy" To Do Make-Up For Faye Wong (2023)

Jiamun Koh Celebrated Hong Kong-based Singaporean make-up artist Zing, who's known for creating unforgettable looks for Faye Wong, Sammi Cheng and Shu Qi, has all the tea to spill about these stars and who they are beneath all that foundation and blush.

In a recent interview with Chinese Youtuber AHA LOLO, Zing recalled how he first got into the beauty industry when he was just 19.

Zing would approach pretty girls at night clubs, asking if they were models and if they could let him do their make-up. He then worked for a Singaporean magazine before moving to Hong Kong in 1992 to chase his dreams.

Zing said he really wanted to be Sandy Lam's make-up artist at that time and his wish came true on his second visit to Hong Kong.

"It was for her concert, though honestly, I didn't do her make-up. All she asked me to do was her foundation and eyebrows, every thing else was done by her and she did such a great job. I picked up a lot of techniques watching her do her own make-up. It was magnificent," he said.

In 1993, Zing became Faye's make-up artist and he created some of her most iconic looks, including the 'sunburnt' look.

He was surprised by how well-received it was at that time as he thought it was just so-so.

He admitted that Faye was quite a challenge to do make-up for. "Beautiful people are not necessarily easy to paint," he said, adding that he had quite a hard time working with her in the early stages.

"It wasn't very successful. At that time I was too obsessed with my techniques and the idea of a "standard" kind of beauty. I was too hung up on doing things as a make-up artist instead of doing them as a person," he professed.

It turned out so bad that Faye said she would "never use [him as a make-up artist] again".

"In the end she still hired me again, right?," he laughed, adding that he and Faye slowly learnt how to work together after that incident.

AHA LOLO couldn't resist getting Zing to spill some tea, like, say, who looks the most different without make-up?

While he initially didn't want to reply the question, Zing eventually said: "Sammi Cheng looks very different. Carina Lau as well."

But no, he wasn't being mean.

"I never met Carina Lau in person before and only saw her with full make-up on in magazines and movies. People said she's gorgeous. I thought she was okay, until I did her make-up for the first time. She came barefaced. Wow, I got a shock. She was so beautiful. I needed to make sure my make-up could enhance her beauty," he said.

Zing said many female stars actually look better without make-up. What he does is to make sure they look better on camera.

Zing eventually became so influential, he even got to dictate whether Heavenly King Leon Lai, who was introduced to him by Faye, should or should not wear make-up for a performance.

Recalling how he told Leon that he had really good skin, and needed no make-up that day, Zing said: "I told him: "You need to trust my judgement, not the products I use. You hired me, not a bunch of cosmetics. Now it's up to me to decide if you need to wear make-up, or how much to use if necessary"."

And he would still get paid even if he decided that Leon didn't need make-up, by the way.

"Of course, the money is for my judgement, that's the real purpose of a make-up artist," he asserted.

Zing also lamented how many celebrities are looking increasingly similar to one another.

He thinks it all started with Fan Bingbing and how great she looks with bright and garish make-up.

"What I mind is everyone trying to look like her, so much so that at some point everyone looked the same. I don't think that was necessary."

He continued: "There was once I saw two huge signboards and two magazine covers. I saw Fan Bingbing and thought she was really gorgeous. Then I saw Angelababy and thought she was so pretty. In the end I realised both were actually Angelababy, she really didn't have to [follow Fan Bingbing]."
