Since it seems like there are a lot of new turtles around, and since it is the anniversary of one of the most iconic GGDD experiences of all time, I will encourage everyone who hasn't yet seen it to check out this priceless episode. And those who have already seen it, let me assure you that a rewatch will definitely brighten up your day.
There's few things cuter than figs holding dolls! This set in particular is super, super adorable.
The inspiration for this is the interview for Zhang Zhehan and Gong Jun's joint Happy Camp appearance to promote Word of Honor.
They're checking out their character's official Rua 10cm dolls!
These two, I swear. I love everything to do with Happy Camp so much!
...and so does everyone else, based on my entire shelf of Happy Camp figs! And more are still on the way.
These two cuddled their dolls all the way across the ocean, arriving safe and sound.
And here they are! Looking super, super cute. I absolutely love the poses here, with Junjun holding his doll in both hands (like the picture) and Zhehan holding his out in his palms.
I was able to prop up these figs to take the first pics, but there was no way these two were going to be able to stand up on their own. These figs are heavy! Since they are unbalanced they would definitely fall over. They got glued down immediately.
I was trying to think of the best way to say, there's a lot going on with Zhehan's pants, but I can't quite figure it out. I think we need a pic of what Zhehan is wearing.
Ah yes, these ones! I swear they almost look like overalls. Anyway, the fig maker did a great job adding in the extra design elements of these jeans (that's a good way to say it!).
I like the detail in the shoes too, which we now can compare to the full-length pics (sorry they're not better quality).
I will tell you that until these figs, I never realized either of them had anything on the backs of their shirts. In fact, looking at the pictures and various videos I still don't see the image on the back of Gong Jun's shirt except for this one video:
And there it is, sure enough. Ahaha, hearing Junjun mutter, Wo de tian never fails to put a smile on my face!
The slightly stockier "fat body" style is super cute - makes these already adorable figures even more so!
The fig maker did such a nice job here with the tiniest of details, like the colors on the shirts.
I love how they did Zhehan's spiky short hair here!
Too, too cute! I'll get a close up in there of the dolls for you:
The scale on these dolls are tiny. They did a good job making them look like the Rua dolls - I'm impressed they got the detail they did!
These figs look like they should stand up well with those nice wide feet.
Zhehan being a little bit shorter makes him even cuter!
I'm really happy the dolls are attached to their hands and I did not have to try to wrangle the dolls into their hands. Zhehan's doll would have been ok but I do not even want to try to imagine trying to wedge Junjun's doll in his hands.
A+ for these figs! I am just so charmed by them. I have another set of figs with dolls on order, but they are still in production. Still, I'm looking forward to them!
Happy Camp's own JunZhe video edit, yes, THEY DID THIS. They used those FAN EDITED WenZhou pics, + called zzh maomao, called out ZZH's fascination with GJ's sweaty neck and gave us a WARNING. I watch this everytime I need a pick me up.
noteable timestamps:
3:10 - "singing and dancing isn't important, meeting a soulmate is."
3:17 - Look at Junjun's sweat
3:34 - ZH takes off the sticker from GJ's back. That sticker is normally on their pants to hide the brand. How did it get from their pants to his back? HOW
4:04 - the way ZH just flops over when he tries to sit
4:30 - the maomao stalks his prey
6:15 - "he's definitely a solo fan" - gougou takes revenge
6:36 - "every time Lao Wen turns back, A-Xu is always behind him" - THIS EDITING TEAM ASKDLFASD
6:55 - "Looking at you being cute, I'll be strange together with you." - ZZH had a stye in his eye before filming (he posted this on his weibo xD this man has no shame), and GJ headshot him with pink powder to the face at the end. He noticed ZH wiping his face and eyes, and ran over and asked, "Did I hurt you earlier?"
ZH: No no.
GJ: Are you okay? (puppy eyes)
7:55 - GJ solves the game for ZH bc he thinks he's so smart, and the video team edited in: "Isn't it so easy? Hurry up and praise me ;-;"
And ZH's FACE AS HE LOOKS AT HIS BEAUTIFUL LAOGONG, "There's still a card left, are you playing solo??"
8:18 - At the end, ZH calls him a puppy and GJ is like, why am I on there??? And ZH just looks at him, oh, my sweet summer pupper.
GG's expression when DD got hurt by his necklace on the game show really reminds me of WWX's expression when he sees LWJ's whip scars (ep33). Upset spilling into anger and worry. 💛
Anon is talking about when DD's neck was scratched by the ox necklace during the filming of Happy Camp.
Fake, fan fiction, CPN.
Here's a video discussing that incident (just a reminder that the video is CPN, and the lip reading is unconfirmed).

Yeah, GG's reaction was pretty striking. A lot of emotions crossed his face in just a flash of a second or two, and the way he and DD interacted in that moment betrayed a more intimate connection between them than just friends. GG wasn't just acting with concern, but there was also an element of scolding to it, which implied he had a proprietary interest in the whole situation - in DD, and in the necklace. The fact that DD immediately relented is a bit out of character for how he interacts with other people, and shows his special connection to GG.
This is just one example of why it's not advisable for them to be seen interacting in public, because they simply can't help themselves. Their connection just spills out and becomes very obvious.
I've never actually compared the moment in Happy Camp to the moment in The Untamed. It does have some hilarious similarities. Surely someone has to do a video edit bringing those two moments together... 😅
