If lwz is old man yaoi, I shudder to think what the rpf of aged politicians where I am and elsewhere should be called!

far be it from me in these unprecedented times to harsh the buzz. i only hold these facts in one hand, and gesture towards @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social and @sevenseasentertainment.com with the other, and wonder how well they sleep at night without ever making even one single official statement.

to the best of my knowledge, this is the FIRST western journalistic source to report 袁依楣 Yuan Yimei (MXTX) was in fact detained in 2019 for tax evasion ("非法經營罪"), imprisoned for 3 years, and paroled in 2021—there were HK articles but with dubious sources. i think we can now take this to be factual.

Istg! The qs really is wanting oomfs around. Also, I hadn't logged in here, I had to reset my pw and everything to get back in. 🙈

Btw, tried to call you around diwali, on the number I had during the litfest... Is it still the same?

All good. I'm still on that toxic app for cdrama etc stuff, though I can see it's more peaceful here.

I am sooo excited for this! Cherry Magic alum, dance...

Hello! You're still on *some* socmed! I've missed seeing you.

(Isn't this the one that has a ton of fanwars? So glad all that is skipped over here).

Qiao laoba! (Right? Isn't the image from The Bond?)

If I have brain space, I'll do a thread on how much The Rise of Phoenixes (drama, not novel) shares with Tianxia Gui Yuan's later (possibly last?) novel Ci Tian Jiao.

(Minus the - to me unnecessary - time travelling adversaries/displaced persons plot in CTJ).

Ah... Thanks for pointing out the tagging issue!

This is a rewatch, and I didn't think I'd be weeping again, but here I am! (And I lied, because ofc I haven't stopped watching 😭)

Reached ep 50 in TRoP and I think I have to stop because I can't bear to watch everything hurtle towards its tragic end. #cdrama #TRoP

timeline cleanse...

Chen Kun as Ning Yi in TRoP

The heart sutra in TRoP

I have feelings about actor Chen Kun playing Ning Yi writing a stack of the 心经 in TRoP. #cdrama #TRoP #heartsutra

The hazards of rewatching a drama - you can see the foreshadowing bright and clear. #TRoP #cdrama

It's been sooo long! I have to catch up with what everyone's up to.

Peeping in here after ages. Hello👋!

Translation is on the rough side. I was taken by surprise.)

The cold (where I am) is very welcome, so I'm enjoying that! Also been on a drama detox, so that's been *very* good for my eyes. ☺

I hope you can bring the colour in, kicking and screaming if necessary!

Hi again, everyone! How's 2025 going?
