Planetary (GO!) by My Chem is my absolute top dancing song and I think it will always be. What a bop to me.

hello hello, it’s me again! (this is cherookue’s main lol) and i had a question!!
what are your boundaries for asks? such as, are we allowed to discuss nsfw topics, interact with the characters directly, etc? or would you prefer if asks only discussed the game and lore?
Hello Eden! (is it ok if I call you that) Thank you for your interest in the game, it means a lot!
Hmm my boundaries for asks... that's a tough one for me to articulate since all of this is very new to me - I can't say what I might not be uncomfortable with/good at until I give it a shot at least, so right now I'd say I'd welcome pretty much any kind of ask!
To go a bit more in detail, at the moment I would probably prefer asks about characters rather than for them in-character; I think I need to take more time to be more in-tune with them before I can try it myself - it looks fun when others do it! And naturally, asks about game and lore are more than welcome.
As for nsfw... full disclosure, I'm an ace creator and I'm personally not sure if I can do that aspect justice just yet asdfhgjkl. I'm fine working with suggestive content, but full-on nsfw is a different ballpark.
That's not to say I avoid it completely; I know plenty of ace creators who make amazing nsfw content, but I've always mostly looked into it for it's intimacy aspect, rather than the act itself, if you get my point? So, I haven't personally dabbled into that part yet, and I figured it's time to do some actual research on this end of things 😭
Honestly the 18+ tag is mainly for the suggestive and horror aspects, and to keep it open for the possibility I might add nsfw to it, since it's generally very popular in the yan community? But again, atm I have no clue if I'd be any good at it haha... as a hint, I guess I could say I like those fics where the authors write nsfw like it's poetry? Not exactly so but, it really brings out the kind of intimacy I enjoy, and there's a good chance when I try to write something, it will probably try to emulate that feeling as well.
In terms of asks, I could probably answer some general stuff, but nothing too explicit just yet? But at the same time, anyone is free to send in the asks anyways, I could probably set it aside as points for research regardless!
If anything makes me truly uncomfortable I'll make sure to tell you all, but I generally have a good...tolerance? For such things (idk what's the word to use here lol)
Sorry for rambling on, thank you for the ask!

Have you heard the band Foals?? i recently learned (five minutes ago lmao) that his lead singer is greek-english Yannis Philippakis, he was born in Karpathos, that's a curious fact to know :o
Check one of his songs if you want to check it lol they had good themes ngl.
youtube
I found another song of theirs I like! Yannis looks SO Greek with his face and his beard... I can't! 😂 He reminds me of so many guys I know or I've seen on the street. He is very talented, as well as the rest of the group! Give them a listen if you like, people!

Azris Week 2024 Master List
I knew I wanted to participate in @azrisweek this year but I think I went nuts. Tried to make sure I planned only one shots but a couple of things will be WIP. I have also decided that I hate everything I have ever written but you’re getting it anyway 🤣
Going through final edits the next couple days. Here's a rundown….
Ps… I’m the worst summarizer EVER…
⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄
Day 2: Familiars || Once Upon A Dream
14k words || READ ON AO3
Elain is nice, quiet and easy to be around. Azriel and his shadows find solace in her company. When her powers as seer become evident however, Azriel is forced to reckon with a familiar part of his past that is about to take on a whole new meaning.
⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄
Day 3: Contact || Between Us
9k words READ ON AO3
Physics and the Immortality of the Soul . The most ridiculous notion Azriel could have picked to build his career around. He had spent half a lifetime tasking himself with impossible questions which very few people took seriously. A strange nostalgia for things he didn’t understand manifested after a childhood accident. This set his life on a path that one day leads him to the front doors of a strange library full of precious and one of a kind books and an even stranger connection to someone completely unexpected. One of which might finally give him the answers he was seeking.
⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄
Day 4: Free Day || Just for Tonight
9k words READ ON AO3
New High Lords are extremely vulnerable. It’s a well known secret that as the new magic enters their bodies they have no more protection than a newborn. When Eris finds himself forced to take the throne, becoming completely helpless, he goes to the one place, and the one person he thinks may just save him.
⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄
Day 5: Slice of Life || The Trees Told Me About You
8k words READ ON AO3
A few months after their mating frenzy “activities” in the dirt of the Autumn Court. High Lord Eris finds himself drawn to the very woods he and his mate had shamelessly rolled around in. 
What he finds there shapes their lives forever.
This can be read independently but if you want additional context and did not read Kerosene, you can read the first half of this chapter
⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄
Day 6: Changes || When Even Moonlight Burns
Chapters 1 & 2 (WIP) || 10k words READ ON AO3
The long list of things Eris had found to be grateful for over the years, not so surprisingly, didn't exactly feature a quiet, unassuming existence. The thrill in what he was, demanded pride and exhibition, and gods was he good at playing that game. Well, he had been good at it. Now, as much as he loathed to admit it, there was an odd satisfaction to be found in the simplicity he had agreed to. Unfortunately, as Eris quickly finds out you can't always have the brutes you want... and eat them too.
⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄
Day 7: Solstice || What we Deserve
Chapters 1 & 2 (WIP) || 13k words READ ON AO3
Once upon a time, Eris thought that he and Azriel could be mates whose bond just hadn’t settled yet. It didn’t make sense for him to be so drawn to the male when they were at odds in every other way. It had to be the Mother, had to be fate. Now he knew for sure, it had been none of those things, only simple, stupid want. What happens when Azriel finally finds his mate but it isn't the the male he is already in love with?
If anyone would like to be tagged, please just ask! <3
Holla at ya boi if you want on or off the Azris tag train : @talibunny30 @iftheshoef1tz @born-to-riot @fell-in-luvs @fieldofdaisiies @aktrain @honeysuckle-daydreams13 @secret-third-thing @acourtofladydeath @pippsmcgee @youvereachedthenearest-lovergirl @baileybird71 @skyesayshi @yanny-77 @areyoudreaminof @unanswered-stars @futurehunt @ninthcircleofprythian @matrixsss @going-through-shit @c-starstuff-man0 @jules-writes-stories @the-darkestminds @krowiathemythologynerd @cauldronblssd @hieragalbatorixdottir @yourlazykitkat @hellolordling @climbthemountain2020

🥞 does this oc take good care of themselves?
🪨 if given a cool rock, what would this oc do with it?
For yanny bc they deserve a nice rock :)
🥞 - well, they try. it's hard for them to remember to sleep/eat/etc, especially early on, and they have a lot of trouble receiving and understanding their body's signals, so they often end up cranky or in pain without knowing why. Thankfully, as they get older, they're able to get more used to eating on a schedule and sleeping a normal amount.
🪨 -

[id: a simple, pixelated digital drawing of yanny, a pale demon with short horns and gray hair. their eyes are huge and sparkling and they stare at a shiny red rock they hold in their hands, saying "woa..." the rock is glowing slightly. end id.]

i think the most frustrating thing about this whole "exclusive fwb" discourse are the amount of people getting it wrong who don't even realize that there is an objectively correct answer that they're missing. they treat it like it's that blue/orange dress or the "laurel/yanni" thing, where some people just see the situation one way and other people see it a completely different way and both interpretations are equally valid. that is not the case here.
if you look at that screenshot (yes, even without the added context of the last blue text) and come to any conclusion other than "gray text is a straight man who wants regular and exclusive sex with a woman without any of the commitment or emotional responsibility that come with a labeled relationship", you are just wrong and need to get more life experience. and there's no shame in that, any more than there's shame in getting a question on a test wrong. but there is shame in getting any other answer and then arguing that you're right because actually the guy could be aromantic and at least he's communicating his (shitty) boundaries clearly. that's like getting a math question wrong and arguing with the professor that 2+2=3 instead of just taking the L.
setting aside the people who are just outright wrong, i am a bit concerned about how many people arrived at the correct conclusion only after seeing the additional context (where blue text mentions that they had told gray text specifically that they didn't want to be fwb). obviously that context makes the correct answer clearer, but you should still be able to arrive at that conclusion with just the info from the cropped screenshot. if you can't, that doesn't mean the way gray text was talking in the first screenshot would have been fine in a vacuum; it means you need to train and/or recalibrate your spidey senses that tip you off to this kind of stuff.

Mutuals pt.2 (Onyankopon x Black! Reader)
haii! im so sorry for taking literally forever to post this. i was so ready to get back into writing, but i started taking my classes full time (which i passed(^∇^)) but now i am getting ready for state and with three jobs... its a lot lol. but im ready to try to get back into it!
i also have Kofi if you ever wanted to support in other ways!
anywho, here ya go!
y/n is a little shy. when she moves back home, her friend mika tries to get her out the house. what better way than to meet mutuals?
(w.c. 2.6k)
warnings: none, language (if any)
__________
It’s Thursday. 
Today shouldn’t hold so much weight, but it did. Besides being the beautiful day before a weekend, it’s the day before Ony and I go on our first date.  
I can’t help but think about it every now and then. Receiving his texts throughout the day doesn’t help either. I've realized he’s much more of a subtle flirt than I would have thought, constantly catching me off guard. I smile and shake my head before looking away from my Apple watch to continue charting. 
I check the time and see it’s a little after seven o’clock. After filling in a few people on my floor and making sure everything is logged in, I go to my locker and grab my belongings. I make my way to the elevator and ride down to the first floor. As soon as I step off of the elevator, I get a phone call. 
Ony. 
I bite my lip to prevent myself from smiling too much before answering. 
“Hello?” 
“Hey, pretty girl,” I smile a little wider, “how was work?” 
“It was good. Walking to my car, now.” 
We make casual talk as I continue towards my car. Once I’m inside with my doors locked, I start my engine and begin making my way home. After a few minutes, Ony finally brings up the day I’ve been too nervous to ask about. 
“Mmm... you ready for tomorrow, mama?” 
My heart skips. 
“I, uhh, I am.” I try to sound as relaxed as possible. I can only hope he doesn’t hear how hesitant I sound. 
“What’s wrong? You don’t sound so sure.” 
Of course, he heard... 
“I’m sure... I just have a lot on my mind,” I explain softly. 
“You wanna talk about it?” Ony offers. 
I smile, "Just excited for tomorrow, ‘s all.” I can almost hear his smile in his ‘mhm.’ 
I assume that’s a fine enough answer because Ony doesn’t push the topic, opting to change the subject.  
After about a 10-minute drive, I finally made it back home. I grab all of my belongings and make my way towards the door, making sure to lock my car. I unlock the door to my apartment and walk in, making sure to lock it, as well. 
“You inside yet, mama?” I hear Ony’s voice mumble through my phone. 
“Yeah, I’m inside.” I walk to the island in the kitchen and put my bag on the counter before looking over at my buzzing phone.  
Ony is FaceTiming me.  
I answer the call and gently lean my phone against a nearby object on my counter so that he can see me. The call finally connects and I see Ony leaning back in his chair, fingers moving around on his controller as he plays the game. The corners of my lips slightly raise at the sight of him before I look away for a moment to place one hand on the counter and use the other to remove my shoes. 
“You look pretty, (N/N),” I hear him say over the speaker. 
  I couldn’t help but chuckle as I pick up my phone, shoes, and purse and walk to my bedroom. 
“You say that every time we're on the phone,” I mention with a tired yet teasing tone, “but thank you.” 
He ignores my initial statement and smiles, eyes returning to his TV screen, “You’re welcome.” 
The night goes on as it normally would; I change and sit on the phone with Yanni for a little over an hour before deciding it is time for me to take a shower and go to bed. 
When I wake up the next morning, it takes me a moment to become fully oriented. When I do, I can’t help but think about how the night could go. Ony and I can realize that being friends is what’s best; we could not like one another, or we could continue in pursuit of a relationship. Of course, I’m hoping for the latter, but only time will tell.  
After talking to God about my worries, I feel a little better and finally decide to get up and get ready, leaving my phone on its charger. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I walk into my room and look through my wardrobe for a dress that’s fancy enough for a dinner date but not overly obnoxious. Wanting to remain on the safe side, I decide on a long black, long-sleeved dress with some heels. Feeling content with my decision, I decide to pick up my phone to check any notifications. 
The very first one is from Ony. 
Ony: Good morning pretty girl. Ima be a little busier today so I won’t be able to talk much. Make sure you’re ready by 6. I’ll see you soon 
I smile before responding to his text, feeling slight butterflies in my tummy. I make sure to let him know I appreciate him telling me he’d be busy and that I’ll see him tonight. Checking the time, I decide to go ahead and grab some breakfast, opting for some fruit, feeling too nervous to eat too much. 
I try to talk myself down, trying not to get worked up over some guy.  
‘It’s just another date with another guy... it’s just another date with another guy... but it’s not.’ 
There's something about Onyan that makes me hope that what we have goes further than ‘just another date.’ Although we’ve only really been able to speak over the phone since we met, he seems to be more genuine than any other person who has tried to pursue me. Mikasa’s words continue to play in my mind as well. Knowing from a reliable source that he doesn’t mess around for fun also puts me a little at ease.  
I just need to relax and trust that no matter what happens, everything’s gonna be okay. 
~  
I sit in front of my vanity, applying any finishing touches I think I need. I stand and take in my appearance. A smile makes its way onto my lips as I reach to grab some perfume. I spray to my heart’s content before grabbing my purse and phone and walking to the living room. Again, I look in the large mirror at my reflection, feeling happy with how I look. Minutes pass before I hear a knock on my door. 
My heart drops to my stomach. I take a deep breath before walking to the door, unlocking and opening it. Once it’s open, I see Ony with a bouquet of light pink roses with white lilies. I give an endearing smile before hugging him. 
“Ony, these are beautiful. Thank you.” 
He carefully wraps his arms around me, a smile on his face as he responds, “You’re welcome, (N/N). I’m glad you like them.” 
I lean away before gently taking the bouquet from his grasp, my hand lightly brushing against his. I lead him inside for a moment while I carefully replace my older flowers with the newer ones. Once that’s done, I grab my purse. 
“You ready?” Ony glances up from his phone once he sees that I have my purse. 
I nod and watch as he smiles, taking in my outfit for the night.  
“You look beautiful, (Y/N).” He stands from the barstool he sat in while he waited and makes his way to me with his hand out.  
  I take my lower lip into my mouth to try to prevent me from smiling like an idiot, and it just barely works. My hand interlocks with his as I respond. “Thank you, and you look very handsome.”  
Which is true. Ony has on a solid black shirt with some loose black pants and white forces. He, of course, has his chain and studs on and a black and white bomber jacket. He bites his lip as he looks down at me for a moment.  
“Thank you, mama.”  I smile before looking at the ground. Ony let out a breathy chuckle at the way I couldn’t hold eye contact before leading us to his car. He leads me to the passenger’s side and opens the door for me. I give a soft thank you before sitting down and bringing my legs inside. When I get situated, he closes the door and makes his way to the driver's side before driving off.  
After 25 minutes, we make it to our restaurant. I know I haven’t been here before, so I don’t know what to expect. Ony parks and makes his way to my side to help me out. I place my hand in his while he leads us inside the restaurant. The host leads us to a secluded booth towards the back of the restaurant. We walk hand in hand until we reach the area, separating only to sit across from one another. Our host hands us our menus and tells us our waitress will be with us soon. 
I gently look through the menu, eyes slowly gazing over what all the restaurant has to offer. Ony, sitting across from me, can’t help but allow his eyes to gaze over me, only giving his menu half the attention since he already knows what he wants. He swiftly thinks of something to talk about and opens his mouth to speak. 
“Don’t hesitate to get anything you want, by the way. ” My eyes flicker up to his at the sound of his voice. I smile softly before briefly returning my eyes back to the menu. 
“I’ll keep that in mind, thank you.” 
Ony gently licks his lips before closing his menu completely and giving me his undivided attention. 
After that, conversation was nothing short of wonderful - Ony smoothly leading the us from one topic to another. I could feel my attraction for him grow the more he spoke to me in that soft, deep tone that I’ve grown used to. Due to me not being the best conversationalist, I was hesitant for this date, but it comes so naturally with him. As if he knows exactly what to say and when to say it. 
From childhood memories to stories about work to ranting about the group that we’ve grown to love so dearly. It felt as though we had known each other for years.
After ordering, it took us bit before our food was brought out to us. Even then we joke about how it got quiet when we started eating, knowing that the restaurant he picked was a good choice. We each took our time, slowly realizing that we didn’t want the night to end just yet. Even after Ony paid for our meal, we still stayed to talk for about another 30 minutes.  
After laughing at a joke he said, I turned my phone over on the table to check the time and sigh. 
“Ony, we should probably head out. It’s getting late.” 
He picks up his phone and gives a soft smile. 
“Yeah, you right... Alright, let’s go, pretty girl,” he directs softly before standing. 
 I scoot just a little before turning my legs to the outside of the booth where Ony was waiting with his hand outstretched. I gently place my hand in his and stand. 
“You got everything?” I turn to make sure I didn't drop anything before nodding.  
“Mhm, yeah. I’m good.” 
And with that, he leads us towards the exit. Once we get to his car, he opens the door for me before going to his side. I watch as he walks to his side, trying to hide the goofy grin that’s trying to make itself known.  
He finally sits down in the car before turning to look at me, narrowing his eyes slightly. 
“What?” he asks with a small grin. I shake my head before picking up my phone. 
“Nothing.” By the way I bit my lip to keep from smiling, I’m sure he knew it wasn’t ‘nothing,’ but he chose not to push. Opting for “whatever you say, (N/N.)” 
The drive to my house was mostly done so in peaceful silence. Other than the speakers and the occasional quip, we just enjoyed each other’s presence.  
After some time, Ony pulled into my apartment. He turned off his car and made his way to me. 
“Aww, such chivalry. Walking me to my door?” I quip once my hand is in his. 
He immediately smacks his lips before closing the door. “Mmcht, man gon’ on somewhere.” He couldn’t even finish the sentence without smiling, causing me to giggle. 
We make it to my door, and I turn to him with a sigh. 
“Thank you for agreeing to go out with me, (Y/N),” his voice low and clear.  
I lean my shoulder against the door and sleepily look him in his eyes. “Thank you for taking me out. I really had fun.” 
“Enough fun to want to do it again?” he asks, taking a step towards me. 
I look off to the side, hide my smile behind my hand before dropping it. “Yeah, Ony. Enough to want to do it again.” 
He looks down, a smile plastered on his face. 
Only a few moments passed before he looks back at me and takes another step forward. I tilt my head a little to the side before feeling him take my hand in his, standing directly in front of me. 
“I’m gonna be very honest, (Y/N) - I would really like to kiss you right now.” 
For some reason me being a little tired made me a little bold and I ask, “So why haven’t you?”  
A moment after those words left my mouth, Ony’s hand rests on my neck, his thumb, pointer, and ring finger gently grabbing my jaw to tilt my head upwards. He leans down and presses his soft lips onto mine. I don’t hesitate for a moment before meeting him halfway. Ony slides his other hand around my waist, pulling me in to completely close the space between us. My left hand slides to his wrist as he deepens the kiss.  
It felt too soon when he pulled away. I opened my eyes to see him looking intensely at me. I quickly shy away, opting to look at the ground, my hand gently rubbing the remnants of Ony from my lips as I try not to smile too hard. 
“Thank you again, Ony,” I mumble trying to keep my rapid heartbeat under control. 
Ony looked at me with an adorned look in his eyes.  
“You’re welcome, mama. Go get some rest, okay?”  
“You, too... Goodnight, Ony.”  
“Goodnight, (N/N).” 
---
It’s been three months since Ony and I have been dating, and it’s been amazing. He’s been amazing. He continues to show me just how caring and protective he is - genuine and fun. The way he never fails to make me smile (whether it be after a tough day at work, or I’m just feeling a little down) is something I didn’t realize I needed. 
‘I’m so glad I listened to Mika,’ is something I constantly think to myself. 
She was right when she told me that he would show me the type of person he is. 
And I couldn’t be happier. 
Ony and I are a little more comfortable with visiting each other's houses, opting to just stay in and relax most of the time. Each time we do, we learn so much about one another. From likes to dislikes to family and more. The more we spend time together, the more I can’t help but think about what it would be like to actually be in a committed relationship with him.  
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t try to shoo the thought away, but it’s so hard when Ony is... himself. Going above and beyond is not foreign to him. His emotional intelligence is evident through his desire for clear communication and his (surprising) amount of empathy.  
Gosh, he’s so wonderful. 
My thoughts are cut short by a soft *ping!*  I glance at my phone to see Ony’s name pop up. I bite back a smile before opening his message.
Yanni <3 : Be ready by 8. I got a surprise for you 
---
ah, please be nice. im still getting into the swing of things. i really hope you guys enjoyed this. please excuse any mistake!
i love you but Jesus loves you more. <3

Wang Yibo Bazaar January Issue feature article
Tumblr media
What do you hope to see from him when you pay attention to him?
Faced with a public figure does not speak, should we choose to remain silent and just observe and speculate, or should we continue to build a bridge of dialogue at eye level and continue to ask questions?
This is a question Wang Yibo asked us.
We are happy to receive and answer - to come calmly without presuppositions, to follow only the intuitive guidance of the moment, to eliminate biased thoughts, and to see him as a "person" first.
This is not an article written just to fill the page. Perhaps what I can tell you truthfully is that every word in it was written at the filming site of this work, and was typed word by word at a distance of less than 20 meters away from the person I was working on - Wang Yibo. It seems that this is necessary to ensure the immediacy and time-limited nature of this creation.
It is full of questions that may not be asked even if they sit down and face to face. Perhaps it is precisely because there is no need for conclusive or chaotic answers that these questions become more reckless, direct and useless.
In the end, not only did the answer no longer matter, but it became increasingly unclear who the question was addressed to.
Wang Yibo: What you see is what you get
Written by: Lu Yanni
In a huge room surrounded by cement, there are two small temporary spaces surrounded by black cloth: the larger one is a shooting room, and the other smaller one is a space where people can watch movies and rest at any time. There were some white folding chairs inside, which were only occasionally empty throughout the cover shoot.
For more than four hours, the only thing that never stopped here was the music - some of which were from the editor's private playlist, and some of which were specially requested by Wang Yibo. They may be psychedelic, light, noisy, or strange, difficult to classify and describe, but no matter what the style and rhythm of the music are, they are all consistent and uninterrupted.
Wang Yibo just kept his head down and said nothing, even sternly smiling, and immersed himself in doing what everyone who came to him wanted him to do. Are all similar jobs the same? Does every day of his life look exactly like the same day?
The music was so loud that people could jump inside. He remained silent, without saying a word. There was nothing but silence.
He squatted down, covering his face with his hands, and then his head. His hands messed up his hair.
He half-knelt until he gradually fell to the ground. He curled up into a ball. He looked up. He bent over and simply lay flat on the ground, one leg bent, the other leg also bent, and his hands spread out and stretched forward. He fell directly to the ground. He closed his eyes and rubbed his hands on the white floor paper.
He said nothing, nothing but silence. Where is he lying?

I suddenly thought of his name being screamed out by the crowd in that small southern town more than a thousand miles away half a month ago, and the moment of silence when the lights went out in theaters one after another in contrast to the noise. , he sat down in the seat that belonged to him for a short period of time, and could occasionally get a moment of calm and peaceful listening time in the dark.
What shape and color is the peace he needs? Does he need peace?
The stylist used a tool to curl the bangs on the wig to make them fly a little more, then sprayed them with moisture, pulled them up, and sprayed them with hairspray to make them look messy and branched. He closed his eyes and let it all happen. That's not his hair. What does that lock of hair have to do with him?
A group of people squatted there, surrounding him in the center. The umbrella-shaped light illuminated him, and all he could hear was the snapping of the shutter and the blinking of the flash at the same frequency. It was as if a group of people had discovered some rare plants in the mountains and were sampling them very quietly and carefully. He sat there, occupying only the size of a corner.
Is this a rare moment of relaxation for him? "Relaxation" - it's just our guess. How can one person experience what he is feeling moment by moment for another person? Whether it is one-way or two-way, how easy is it to "understand" between people?
He stood up again, covering his head with his hands, as if he had just hit something, or as if the fight had just ended.
He tilted his head back slightly and took a deep breath. Was it exhaustion? Or some other feeling?
The staff passed by and sighed softly: "The shooting was too intense!"
Looking back, Wang Yibo was curled up in a ball and lying on the ground again. The photographer asked his assistant for a tissue, and he caught himself sweating profusely.
Wang Yibo was still lying on the ground, his body stretched further.
Tumblr media
Reputation, what is it?
Is there anything else that can rival the vanity that comes with being in the spotlight?
If he were willing to give one thing in exchange for everything he has now, what would his answer be? What would your answer be?
Will prosperity last forever?
"I know why you wanna hate me! (I know why you wanna hate me!)" "
I know why you wanna hate me!"
The music has changed. Clothes changed. His body also seemed to be suddenly injected with a strength that would not be easily suppressed. Wearing a white vest, jeans, and chewing gum, Wang Yibo smiled, danced involuntarily to the music, and sang along, his voice getting louder and louder. The chorus was repeated once, twice, three times, four times...
"I know why you wanna hate me!"
"I know why you wanna hate me!"
He jumped up. His long arms and legs were swinging in the air.
Tumblr media
What kind of opportunities and luck are needed to eliminate other people’s prejudices against you or your own prejudices against others? Is this something that can be controlled by just relying on the rise and fall of one's own ideas?
The next picture is the cover picture. Everyone is working hard to get as high a score as possible. His silence then became deeper.
Someone was saying, "Let's not act like a cover photo shoot... just be normal." So everyone laughed together, trying to relieve some of the pressure and tension, but he remained silent.
What are we creating?
He was leaning on the sofa, looking lazily at the camera, suddenly closing his eyes and leaning on the back of the sofa. How can we know what he is thinking at this time? Does he really enjoy this? A question that doesn't expect an answer at all. Who am I talking to? Who am I asking? A tree, a piece of cream cake, a chair, a bolt of lightning?
On this blank screen, a new face and a new piece of clothing appear every month. What does he, who occupies the center of the screen, think about such rapid changes? Is there any panic? If not, then where is his panic? Does he think his panic has merit? Why do so many things have to be assigned so-called "value"? Who stipulates that people must prepare for a rainy day? Can't we make a decision after it rains? So what if it rains and it’s too late to make a decision? It's nothing more than getting soaked all over. It will be fine if the sun comes out the next day to dry it off.
Things seem to be getting a little more difficult.
"We have to get this cover picture out..."
"How about everyone disperse and stop crowding around him."
It's so hot in the room.
What else could he do? He couldn't go anywhere but stay where he was. Doesn't he want so many people surrounding him? Is he afraid of crowds? Didn't he live for the crowds and the attention of everyone? What does he want to live for? What do you hope to see from him when you pay attention to him?
If a little bit of the world is enough for him, how big is that "little bit"? What are the essentials?
There was a burst of cheers and applause, and everyone was very excited. He suddenly raised his arms in the slightly depressed atmosphere, and wow, the photo was finally "available".
“Well done!”
