Yep, it's true :)

THANK YOU!

I keep saying this but in China, Tushan Jing is irrelevant. Deng Wei may have brought some fans but the character itself isn't their favorite. Xiang Liu has always been featured on those lists for the most popular fictional character ever since his creation in 2013.

I have Tumblr but I didn't know this about Jing hahahaha how ridiculous. Thankfully I never see anything related to that nonentity in my feed. 

It's hard to tell what is actual popularity and what is water army / marketing in China.  But going by results, I think XL and Tan Jian Ci are doing very well, in comparison.

I don't visit Tumblr regularly, but I'm surprised that there isn't more Lost You Forever there.  I don't go looking for Jing stuff anywhere, but he does have fans in the #LYF tag, and it's the usual green flag stuff.

Bless whoever put this together ♥

Since I've hit an artist block and haven't been able to draw or make art for a year, I have been writing. Mostly poetry dedicated to Xiang Liu ... hahha. Here's one I wrote of late.

Beyond the Willow's shadow

Beyond the Willow's shadow,
I cowered,
Enveloped in the silver moonlight embrace,
He looks out to the deep blue sea,
And I see,
Within grasp, molasses taboo indulgences,
A taste palpable burnt,
I yearn,
Clasped tightly between golden stars grace,
He sights pass peircing through me,
And I see,
A mound, tears rained in mourn,
Hold my bossom in this hollowed space,
Just beyond the Willow's shadow.

Beautiful ♥

This needs a gif to accompany the mood

That is lovely!  Evocative.

One of the Prada ads / teasers have dropped and it is ... different.

I think this is the first time I've seen Tan Jian Ci in a more natural make up for a endorsement.  He looks like he might have actually got some sun.  lol

And for some reason, I'm getting a Party Worker vibe from this Prada outfit.

Thank you for sharing :-). I admired a poet's ability to convey a lot with often very few words.

I'm an utter disgrace when it comes to reading poetry. Now spoken words poetry, I fared much better in. There's something about a lovely voice and the rhythm of delivery that seems to help. Strangely enough, I do better with poems written in Vietnamese despite my English being much. Weird.

 Kokuto:


Exactly!  I don't think I've seen this expression before, and I love it!  I NEED naughty Tan Jian Ci.

Also, except for the official pics, these are the clearest pics I've seen from leaks.

Oh Gu Yun is naughty alright :-). I think TJC would be really amazing in this role. Some intern need to leak it already.

Tumblr is a strange one. There's a strong snowflake, social justice warrior streak to that place so the whole green flag thing is not surprising. But at the same time, this platform also has this fanatical fanning vibes to it as well. This is the home of Reylo, and that ship was hardly flying the green flag.

Not sure about those shorts!

Giving some serious XL vibes with that gaze ?

What is his title? Partner, ambassador?

Ambassador, I believe.

Yes.  I've spent many minutes being entrapped by that gaze in the Prada ad.  I call it "All my clothes fell off" gaze.
