Today I told my mother "ohh, finally winter season is here" and after sometime I realized that I don't want this winter. I want 6 years old back winters. I want that winter where my whole family sit together on the terrace and eat tangerines. I want that winter where I do my homework under the clear sky while sitting on my favorite chair. And this reminds me of a "Alida Nugent" quote that is "You still crave lemonade, but the taste doesn't satisfy you as much as it used to. You still crave summer, but sometimes you mean summer, five years ago."

“Sometimes you meet someone you think is going to be a bigger part of your life than they actually end up being. And sometimes a person you think you’ll never see again becomes someone you can’t live without. The point is the universe has a funny way of throwing things together and in the end it’s not always up to you.”

History fans be like: "Yeah that's my scrimblo babygirl blorbo"
And the "babygirl" in question is a decaying, sad, middle aged man who's lived through the horrors of the world.

What does your regret taste like?

you examine yourself like studying a virus.
for days after, months - years, even - you torture yourself over small objects. times where you misspoke or interrupted with a joke when you should have listened. times when you didn't know how to show your support. times when you were louder, brassier, inappropriate for the situation. times when you were too quiet, shy, cold.
fucker. you constantly promise that next-time you'll do better. you will make sure every person you come in contact with leaves smiling. that they'll all feel loved and accepted and held. that you take care. other people do it! other people are actually good people; you're just cruel.
it feels like you are fighting a horrible little beetle. one of those parasites that control ants. one who comes up and wiggles into your brain and makes you a shameful ghost of a person. too spineless to ever be a demon. so what if you were having a bad day? you don't get to stumble. so what if you are overwhelmed? you don't need to make a scene.
all this time on the earth. you are still somehow convinced: the mistakes you make are more important than any other part of you. you still feel like you are wrestling a nature you do not understand; one that coils horribly inside of you. one that seeks to destroy, to undo.
you go home. you replay the moments where you weren't perfect. be better, you scold. do more. you are an accident. a train wreck. something to abhor.
the questions always ringing in your head: why did i do that? why do i slip? why can't i just fucking be normal? what if all i am is just ... this?

he xuan is much more of a standard tragic antagonist but i’m kicking my legs up in bed giggling thinking about him tbh. he’s iago plotting to take down the court from the inside with his carefully constructed scheme—but also he’s cady heron getting a pretty pretty makeover by the most popular girl in school. he and hua cheng are “not friends”—but they can do the best friend thing where they make eye contact across the room and one person starts yelling SHUT UP, SHUT THE FUCK UP while the other doubles over laughing. he’s such a formidable villain but he does not have a shred of dignity to speak of because the object of his revenge decided out of nowhere that they were besties, and he xuan went and fell in love with them

TGCF Characters' YouTube Channels
Yes, I stan the Hua Cheng & He Xuan & Yin Yu friendship(it's definitely canon fight me)
Xie Lian- Has a cooking-oriented YT channel with six subscribers(Hua Cheng, Feng Xin, Mu Qing, He Xuan, Yin Yu, and Shi Qingxuan). Hua Cheng subbed because it’s his precious dianxia, Fengqing subbed because Xie Lian is their best friend, He Xuan and Yin Yu subbed because Hua Cheng made them, and Shi Qingxuan subbed because he wants to be a good friend. Fengqing and Hua Cheng were used as taste testers at some point, which ended with the former two passing out and Hua Cheng saying that it’s good but a bit spicy. Xie Lian also occasionally posts vlogs of his volunteer work and recycling tips. He and Fengqing did a video together of them moving into their college dorm room, which ended with Xie Lian accidentally spilling milk all over the camera and then proclaiming it ‘fine’ after it short-circuited and burned him somehow. (Mu Qing forced him to get a new one. And also to go to the E.R.).
Hua Cheng- uploads vlogs that mainly focus on Xie Lian. Has a ton of subscribers and is basically famous at this point. Does reaction videos to Xie Lian’s channel and those turn into massive simp fests. Hua Cheng draws fanart for various fandoms and makes good playlists. He also does clothing hauls and takes over the room he shares with He Xuan and Yin Yu to try them on(and forces them to join him). He uploads videos of Yin Yu singing in the shower(not knowing that Hua Cheng and He Xuan can hear him) and there are bets going on in the comments on when he finds out that the walls are not soundproof. Watches YouTube at two a.m. without headphones and annoys his roommates to death. Makes He Xuan sleep in the bathroom whenever he complains about the noise.
Feng Xin- Martial arts videos and reaction videos to Hua Cheng’s simp fests with Mu Qing, which are the only videos where they agree on something. He also does challenges like ‘Spending the whole day with my friend’s sister ft. Xuan Zhen’ to get over his fear of women, but he and Mu Qing end up fighting during the whole thing. He plays Minecraft and Among Us with Mu Qing and ends up rage quitting.
        Mu Qing- Does videos where he tricks Feng Xin into going into Claire’s and Victoria’s Secret. Also posts makeup and fashion tutorials. All of Feng Xin’s and his viewers ship them and lots of people react to the videos they make together. Mu Qing’s computer history is literally just those videos. When Feng Xin finds out, Mu Qing throws his laptop across the room and it hits Xie Lian in the face. The resulting trip to the E.R. makes Feng Xin ‘forget about it’, but Mu Qing never lets Feng Xin borrow his computer again.
       Yin Yu- Is the cameraman for Hua Cheng’s videos. Basically no one knows his channel. He posts study tips and subliminals(which have to do with glowing up and people noticing you). He also does vlogs like ‘a day in my life as a college freshman’ and ‘flying to China for winter break ft. Taizi Dianxia and Qi Ying’. Most of those videos end with him running away from Quan Yizhen and getting saved(or not) by Hua Cheng and He Xuan. Yin Yu once did a dorm area redecoration vlog at Hua Cheng’s insistence, and the entire thing is just a montage of Hua Cheng calling him boring. He, Hua Cheng, and He Xuan have a joint channel which is devoted to hating on Fengqing and Quan Yizhen, but Yin Yu never checks it and so he doesn’t know about any of that. 
He Xuan- Posts fish care tutorial videos and book reviews, as well as how to get a dark academia/grunge aesthetic. He reacts to Hua Cheng’s simp fests(those videos involve a LOT of eye-rolling and grumpy insults), but also reacts to Fengqing’s videos doing the same thing and absolutely crucifies them for daring to speak badly about his friend food trade partner. He secretly watches all of Shi Qingxuan’s videos and posts supportive comments on a burner account dubbed ‘Ming Yi’. When Shi Qingxuan asks him if he’s Ming Yi, He Xuan denies everything and says that Ming Yi must be really stupid for watching all of Shi Qingxuan’s videos from start to finish. And only pausing once to throw something at Hua Cheng. No one could ever be THAT big a fan of Shi Qingxuan. He Xuan always uses headphones to watch videos because he doesn’t need Hua Cheng making fun of him. And he’s a considerate roommate.
Shi Qingxuan- Does makeup tutorials and makes fun playlists. Has a lot of school tips on how to make aesthetic notes and get lots of friends. Responds to almost every comment and takes suggestions. A lot of videos feature a grumpy He Xuan, and everyone ships them. Shi Qingxuan takes it as a joke to hide his true feelings, and He Xuan is panicking about whether Shi Qingxuan actually likes him or not. Shi Qingxuan also posts a lot of room redecoration and organization videos(in which He Xuan does all the work). There are tons of edits of them acting like a couple posted by other YouTubers.
Quan Yizhen- Videos of him fighting people and challenges like ‘Wushu but you can’t touch the target ft. Waning Moon Officer’ and ‘I didn’t touch the floor for 24 hours ft. Waning Moon Officer’, most of which end with Yin Yu having to go to the E.R. and Quan Yizhen apologizing. Most of his videos feature Yin Yu in some way, shape, or form. Hua Cheng and He Xuan have a burner account where they dislike all of Quan Yizhen’s videos and post comments about how he’s a simp(lmao like they have room to talk). Yin Yu tries to find out who’s behind it but never succeeds. Quan Yizhen doesn’t care because the comments don’t say anything bad about his shixiong. 
          Ling Wen: Book recommendations, as well as feminist icon videos. Does a lot of vlogs about her life featuring Pei Ming and Shi Wudu. Goes to pride rallies and makes videos about that. Collabs with Yushi Huang to play Would You Rather. They also go in corn mazes together and get lost. Everyone ships them in the comment section and Ling Wen does her best to hide those comments from Yushi Huang, who’s just confused at this point. 
        Shi Wudu: Is on the swim team and posts videos about his diet and exercise routine. Pei Ming is in almost every video of his and is often the cameraman who holds the camera backwards or upside down ‘on accident’. He does ‘anonymous reacts’ on burner accounts where he hates on He Xuan’s channel and calls him a creep. Everyone knows who it really is though, including He Xuan himself. Shi Wudu and He Xuan have a react war where they watch the other’s video reacting to their video and hate on it. Everyone’s placing bets on who’ll give in first.
Hua Cheng: He Xuan, it is three in the fucking morning. Why are you recording a video?
He Xuan: Shi Wudu just posted his stupid react to my reaction video. What am I going to do, NOT respond immediately? Now go away.
Yin Yu: *sitting up in bed* HE XUAN WE SHARE A ROOM THERE IS LITERALLY NOWHERE TO GO
Hua Cheng: He Xuan. Bathroom. Now.
He Xuan: *sighs and picks up laptop to go record in the bathroom* I HOPE YOU DIE
Alternatively:
Pei Ming: Shui-xiong, what are you doing up? It’s like four in the morning.
Shi Wudu: He Xuan just posted his react to my reaction video to his react. What am I going to do, NOT react to his garbage reaction video immediately? 
Ling Wen: *tired, sipping coffee* That would be a thought.
       Pei Ming: Takes lots of Buzzfeed quizzes. Does hair and beauty care regimen videos, often featuring Shi Wudu. Talks a lot about his ‘anonymous crush’ but everyone knows who it is. He ends up acquiring a child in the middle of the school year and posts about being a dad. People comment about problems they have(specifically romantic problems) and Pei Ming tries to give them advice. He, Ling Wen, and Shi Wudu have a joint channel where they do sarcastic reviews to TikTok trends. They also do mini movies where they make fun of Disney tropes.
     Qi Rong: Has a lot of Dead Dove: Do Not Eat on his channel, as well as conspiracy theories and horror movie reactions. Reacts to Xie Lian’s cooking videos and hates on them. Hua Cheng constantly reports his channel, but every time it gets shut down, Qi Rong makes a new one.
       Yushi Huang: Posts study vlogs, trying different aesthetic videos, or hair/ skin care or tutorials. Is always sponsored by either Starbucks or Bath and Body Works. Does a ton of climate change awareness videos and recycling videos with Xie Lian. Has collabed with everyone at some point. Has relaxing study rain audio music and gives motivation tips. Pei Ming and Shi Wudu always ‘accidentally’ walk in on the videos Yushi Huang and Ling Wen do together and make a ton of comments about how they’re ‘good friends’. Ling Wen edits out that footage on her end, but Yushi Huang keeps it in a folder on her computer. When Ling Wen discovers it, Yushi Huang has an extreme gay panic. Little do they know that Pei Ming and Shi Wudu set that whole thing up and filmed it all.
