I find lots of people who are into Cdramas have what I can only describe as “celebrity brain”. They only really watch shows that have their fav actor, always want the character played by their fav to be the endgame romantic choice (even if it goes against character and theme), and seem to hinge their mental health on whether a show with their fav does Big Numbers. Fans of male actors tend to have misogyny problems too, but I think most people who run an account dedicated to a Chinese celeb could afford to take a step back and remember that they don’t actually know these people

Yes it's very stan culture centered. This is one of the reasons I like Cdrama tumblr better. It feels like it's more about actually enjoying the shows (and yes, sometimes the actors), then endless forced promotion, discussion of heat indexes, fan wars, etc.

People have their faves here, and they share news about them, pics of them, etc. They go out of their way to watch their dramas (or at least attempt to if they end up bad lol), and they're happy when they're successful or popular. They share info about accolades and awards.

But most don't make that their whole viewing experience. They aren't becoming keyboard warriors for some dude they don't know and will never know. They're here because they love dramas, not because they have an intense parasocial relationship with an actor or actress.

The way the Wang Yibo blackface discourse morphed from people rightfully calling him out, to the WYB super fans taking over the conversation and making it more about how antis are using it to hate on him is such a good example. Now discussion of it is rebuked with 'oh no don't give the 🐜 more fuel to hate him', and that sucks. I don't give a fuck about antis. I care that WYB did blackface in his movie, and that pisses me off!! They're over there like 'I know in my heart of hearts WYB could not be racist' as if they've ever been within the same wide vicinity of him in their entire life.

With the Dylan thing it's so wild to me because:

he is the male lead

he is the endgame romantic choice

They're pitting him against the female lead for what reason?? They're not rivals. It's giving misogyny, and the fact that they can't handle a woman standing on an equal level with him (she was first billing because she was more famous at the time, yes, but she's also just as much the lead. LBFAD is pretty balanced in that respect). She must be below; both the character and actress. She must be the less popular and important character!! We are going to restructure the narrative of Love Between Fairy and Devil in our minds so it's entirely DFQC's show.

This same person was complaining about the Xiao Lanhua being a goddess storyline because it makes her too important and makes DFQC 'pitiful' (totally out there to me; every other Cdrama fan I know eats it up when a man is pitiful). Like, people would not care about Dylan in LBFAD, and he certainly wouldn't be getting acting accolades, if he were cool all the time in it. It's the pitiful moments, the emotional moments, that make people love him.

It's not even just LBFAD though. I saw major Dylan fan accounts undermining Bai Lu and cropping her out of pics when promoting Only for Love.

I think Esther and XLH just get it worse, because let's be real, LBFAD is good, their chemistry was undeniable, the show was huge, and regardless of how close they are now (we have no idea), it's obvious they were really good friends when on set.

#cdrama blogging #anonymous #they also like to claim esther was a nepo hire for the role and wasn't the first choice #when in fact she very much was the first choice #and was the first of the two hired #oh and they say that her role was expanded for nepo reasons lol

Shout out to all artists who had to work without any strong direction or instruction.

I wish you a merry “the client likes it anyways”

#non mdzs #The real mood of this comic is:#AKA: you are in charge of designing a character but have only been given personality as a reference.#This was technically for a game dev meeting and I am part of a team rather than a contractor hired on.#But hey the anxiety going into this was still crazy high. I was playing a risky gambit.#Part two of this comic is me putting all those clowns on a powerpoint and presenting them in front of a few people.#Pointing at them and saying “Okay which clown do you like best? How can we sex up this clown more?”#I think I may be giving the impression that I’m more into clowns than I actually am. It just fit with the character okay!#I had to consult the REAL down-for-clowners for tips. Photos exchanged in the dark alleys of a discord server.#A hooded figure shakes their head at the first photo. Slowly nods as I add puffy sleeves. Nods furiously as I drop the neckline.#This clown still needs to marinate a bit more before I’m ready to present them to the wider world.#So stay tuned! They have become a delight to draw and develop!#Game dev diary #As this is part of that new arc in my life.#Can you tell I've been practicing with digital art a lot more? Boy have I ever! I'm getting stronger! And faster!

i needed to express a sentiment in the creative stylings of @dunmeshiminimumwage

#eliot posts #dunme #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi #sorry to put toshiro in the roll of shitty job interviewer lmao #but he was the best fit for ''guy that wants me to read their mind''#laios being my internal monologue here #i was on my THIRD interview of the day i was Dying #tho since the prev two interviews i had were for similar positions and told me their salaries outright at least i could use that number #(though tbh my work persona is more of a kabru. my customer service voice is unparalleled)#(at my first job even my coworkers thought i was sooo cheerful til i got too comfy and casually made a joke abt wanting to asphyxiate on a #plastic shopping bag like a sea turtle. in front of my sweet elderly coworker. oops!)#(also this job was during quarantine and after weeks of working together i took my mask off in front of one coworker for the first time #and she called like half the department over from their registers to look at how pretty i was??? prettyboy powers unmatched ig)#(also my first interview today went SO well i charmed that interviewer so good despite my lack of qualifications)#(she even complimented my social skills and said i seemed like the type who could get along well and make good conversation with anyone!)#(which is important bc i was interviewing for an elder care position. also old people especially tend to think i am a Delightful Young Lad)#(unless i accidentally make a morbid joke around them ig lmaooo. or. well. some of them like those too. but not that one coworker lol)#(if only that skill transferred over to actually making friends irl. my autistic ass has so few close irl connections)#(i hope my exceedingly short list of character references does not prevent me from getting hired)#AND ALSO my first job asked the same wage question and i said twelve dollars #and they were like all our new employees start at 7.75 #the union insists that we pay all new employees a whopping 50 cents above min wage. (we'd pay less if we could)#like dawg why did you ask that then??? if my answer did not matter at all???

The Thief // Recovery

I was gonna save these to post when we got an official date for the final RvB season but who knows when that'll be so I'll throw them here now! I've never posted much cosplay on here but seeing as how my peak RvB days were on Tumblr it feels fitting that I post these here first :)

One of the main reasons I even got into RvB in the first place was because of @euniysu's art, and I fell in love with the Guns for Hire AU the second I saw it. These designs became instant dream cosplays of mine (honestly all of them did) and it feels fitting that ten years later just as the series is ending, I finally make them. It's also a way to celebrate 10 years since I found Rooster Teeth and fell in love with RvB (and saw these designs!). I'm so so happy I finally got to do these cosplays and I absolutely can't wait to wear them again (I'm York here but I made both cosplays and I'll be wearing Wash at the ren faire this weekend! It's time traveler's weekend and I think I'm funny lol). I don't know what it is about cosplaying York but i felt so Gender as him and am so glad everything came out well :)

A million thank yous to @magicalvoltage for indulging me with this shoot and @cloudcrouton for taking pictures <3 Can't believe I finally got to do these cosplays with friends, even if y'all aren't into the show :)

Also I saw that Syn is gonna adapt the GFH AU into an original webcomic and I absolutely can't wait to see it!! I still love seeing and supporting Syn's art and y'all should def keep an eye out for it too!

Original AU: @euniysu Cosplays made by me York: me Wash: @magicalvoltage Pics: @cloudcrouton Delta and Epsilon keychains: LadybugGirl7 (etsy)

#rvb #red vs blue #rvb cosplay #red vs blue cosplay #rooster teeth #guns for hire au #york rvb #wash rvb #rooster teeth cosplay #cosplay #my cosplay #rvb york #rvb wash #i forgot how to type tags on this site #i still laugh at how small lauren looks in the cosplay and helmet a;fldkhg #i made wash for me so it is V Big on him lol #i bought some of syn's hades stuff a couple of years ago and i am furiously eyeing her current sale #Syn is genuinely one of my favorite artists of all time i beg u all to support her #i tried to recreate the initial post w wash and york and one of the fake screencaps she made with the first two pics

Yugi would spend his first Official Adult KaibaCorp Paycheck on some much needed basic repairs for the game shop and his second would go 100% entirely to dark magician girl waifu figures

#Yugi: and this is the max factory pop up parade figure in both the original and alternate color palette now obviously u can never beat the #original but i think the more muted color palette makes her look a biiiiit more mature and distinguished but that's just me haha #now this one here is the cu-poche figure by kotobukiya she is just sooooo cute!!! she ALSO comes in two different variants this one with her #spellbook and THIS one with the magic cylinder-#Kaiba: Yugi i have absolutely no business telling u how to manage ur finances but if i knew this is how you'd be spending the money i give u #i never would have even hired u in the first place #i'm looking thru yugi's dsod deck and there are sooooo many cute magician girls in here #And yet no silent magician!! Sad!!!

it's probably not healthy how often i imagine portland row years into the future, after the trio's talents have faded, where they no longer hunt ghosts together but they find other ways to pay the bills and never move out because they just love the little home they've made here, and lucy and lockwood are an actual couple and george simply tolerates it because he loves them individually so much and can't imagine life away from either of them, which is good because lucy and lockwood wouldn't have it any other way

i don't know if this is compatible with book canon in the long run, but thinking about it just. soothes my soul. it is everything i want for them

#lockwood and co #lockwood & co #lucy carlyle #anthony lockwood #george karim #george cubbins #locklyle #sometimes it's better to Not move on from what got you through your youth #also. ppl will meet locklyle out somewhere and then visit their house for the first time and be like 'who is this man'#and george will wave awkwardly wearing a giant rubber glove from where he is unclogging the sink drain #guests are like 'is he your hired help?' and they're like 'no that's our best friend'#'oh. how long is he staying with you?' 'no no he lives here'#locklyle kissing at the breakfast table and george being all 'must you do that in front of my eggs. i haven't even had a coffee yet'#'christ. i don't know why i put up with you two' [but everyone smiles bc they all know]#ANYWAY #i'm clearly very normal about this concept #*success

survival horror based au. guy who is haunted by a murder he didnt commit and guy who couldnt care less about all the murders he committed

#skeletxt #my art #honestly may fuse this with monster hunting au and make it into a survival horror based exterminator crew of sorts #ex. you got a zombie problem? you call these guys just like youd call a guy for roaches #merlin is comms guy. constantine is hints guy. dantes is the guy who shows up at the scene two hours late by blowing a hole into the wall #and leaves you cryptic notes and extra ammo in safe rooms while he does his own side objective for whoever hired everyone #asclepius you see between missions. he runs first aid and buffs your items/equipment depending on whatever weird monster parts you bring hi

Okay yes please on the Minthara’s servant in the underdark AU! Ramble your thoughts about it too me.

Okay SO SO!

Scenario A : we are also a drow

Not a member of her house but one who was given from another house. We are here to serve her and make sure all her needs are met, or maybe we were assigned as a house mage or a servant for another family memeber.

What matters is, she finds herself getting attached to us. And she knows how dangerous that is in drow culture, how much this weakness could be used against her.

She tries to forget us, to ignore us, or to even have us transferred to another house. She is in deep denial over her feelings

I'm imagining this as a slow burn princess/servant fanfic where Minthara goes through the 5 stages of grief. It's starts with her wanting to get rid of us or ignore us but ends with her defending us from someone. She fully embraces her feelings and doesn't want anything bad to happenen to us.

Scenario B : we are from the surface

Which probably means we got taken as a hostage or a slave, if we ever gain our freedom back it means we will have to earn it by blood.

Maybe she is the one who captures us. If you're an elf then you'll get the enemies to friends to lovers trope but expect a lot and I mean a lot of hatred from her at the start. It will be painful and filled with heartbreak and betrayal.

If you're any other race, she will be more respectful and tolerant of you. You're still below her but your mistakes will be forgiven more because you have the excuse of being ignorant and she'd be lying if she said she didn't find it endearing. You'll be more like a pet to her than a slave, she will be more protective and possessive of you. You'll both teach each other something as you try to overcome the huge cultural differences

Scenario C : we're a free person.

Could be a drow, could be a surface race. Doesn't really matter because you have fully earned your freedom and all of Menzoberranzan knows that. You still have to treat her with respect as a noble drow princess but nothing more.

Maybe you're a merchant or maybe you fun a coffee shop in the undercity. Whatever it is, you do this one thing that you find fulfilling and move on with your life.

The two of you meet by accident, or she finds your shop one day. Weirdly she feels relaxed there and starts frequenting it more and more. At least it's good for business to have a drow princess in your humble store.

Even if half the people who come there to see her are trying to murder her, you do put them in line because you'll have no drinks getting posioned while you're on the clock. Minthara notices and is moved. A romance slowly flourishes.

#i may or may have not daydreamed about this a lot a lot #there is Scenario D where you're a sex-worker and the two of you have this forbidden romance #there is scenario E where you meet her while she is on her first ever surface raid and you were the hired guide for her drow wagon #you see her sneer at the sun and other cute moments #Scenario F where you're a hot drow princess too and the two of you are rivals but your rivaly is just an act and you're in love #scenario G where you're a court musician or jester and fall in love with her #♡Minthara #♡fluff #♡MajestyMinthara

fuck any job interviewer that's like "so how much money do you expect to be paid for this position"

idk dawg??? as much as you're willing to give me??? don't make me play "do i lowball it and risk getting underpaid or highball it and risk not getting hired" mind games. i did not come here to play the fucking price is right. you're the one writing the paychecks here.

#eliot posts #i had THREE job interviews today #the first two were good and the interviewers told me outright about the pay and benefits packages #the third one interrogated me and made me play salary mind games #the second place pays Slightly better but the first place seems like a less grueling work environment #they both seemed really interested in hiring me but the first one seemed even more interested #my only struggle is looking for employee references bc i haven't had a job in Years
