There's so much to say about Xiao Zhan's new vlog! But mostly I'm just thrilled to see that he's able to wander around Beijing totally unbothered and relaxed... I love that for him. Of course I wondered who he's wandering around with... I mean, it's probably staff, but then I saw this:

Yeah, I know, Yibo hasn't been blond in forever, but the character on this guy's face is 帅, or shuai, meaning "handsome" and that made me go hmmmmm.

Right after this little graphic (which is already kind of sus because YBO just released a video that used the whole video game vibe too), Xiao Zhan and his companion are bickering about leg day.

It starts off with the faceless (and voice-altered guy) saying, 我收个声啊, or "I'll shut up, ah," and I went 👀

This doesn't sound like how a staff member would talk to a boss... and of course it made me think of all the times Xiao Zhan has told Yibo to shut up.

Then the mystery guy says, "'nian' 退了?"

Here I thought, "Why is 'nian' spelled out? What 'nian' is this? Is it 廿 as in Yibo's single, or is it 年腿 and this impudent staff member is teasing Xiao Zhan for having old legs?" Who would have the audacity to tease Xiao Zhan for having old legs? Huh, I wonder?

Xiao Zhan fires back, "练, lian 练! 练腿不是"nian"腿" (training, 'lian' training! Training legs is not 'nian' legs" to clarify that he said "lian" (practice or training) and not "nian" (and I'm guessing from his tone that he took it to mean a jab at his age haha).

I just love this, the bickering over word play, it feels very them to me (and I also feel very validated because I always feel like they're playing these games in their posts... and here we have XZS choosing to highlight this bit of word play between Xiao Zhan and his "staff").

I'm also reminded of the fake rumor about how Yibo will deliberately misunderstand things Xiao Zhan says and then run with it to get Xiao Zhan all riled up so they can make up later. 🫠

And then there's this exchange that feels soft and domestic to me:

"Shuai" guy says, "Leg training is so intense," and Xiao Zhan says, "you did leg training yesterday." Keep in mind that this was filmed in Beijing, and so I imagine this was filmed during that period when they were home together for an extended period (Xiao Zhan's hair is long but not that long yet) and they were getting to do things like work out together. And so of course Xiao Zhan would know if they did leg day the day before. 🥹

I mean, okay, maybe Xiao Zhan is just out with a buddy, and yes, he can have a close and teasing dynamic with his staff... but there's a lot packed in this little bit that just feels very Yibo to me.

The 帅 on the avatar's face? The age jab? The possible reference to 廿? The bickering?

Oh, and the fact that this was posted at 17:00 (together) and the video is 8:31 minutes long?

Part 2

Hi, anon! This is part of the series “evidence for bjyx” XD, since 3 anons asked related questions. Part 1 is linked here.

Disclaimer: fake, fake, fake.

This is also why I think some fans are getting carried away when they refuse to talk about these signs for fear it’s going to ‘hurt’ GGDD.

I’m sure doctors get this all the time. “Hey, can you take a look at this rash for me?” “Should I be worried about this mole?” “I’ve had this crick in my neck…”

I think there’s an instinctive desire to help out those we’re close to. Like, a huge part of the reason I design stuff for people I am close to (despite that they are always the worst clients) is because I can’t bear to think of them having an inferior design, or to think of them using a logo that doesn’t reflect an understanding of them as deep as the understanding I have of them.

So I think there’s a protectiveness baked into all of that. I think most designers would agree, we want to use our abilities and our insights about the people we care about to help them express whatever it is they want to express via the design. It seems clear GG did that with the suit. He put a lot of care and love into that design.

And I somewhat joke about ‘everyone asking for design’ in my previous comments, but the reality is I won’t do a design for people I don’t feel special toward. I’ve turned down countless family members and acquaintances, even when they were offering money.

Should we be glad that Yh is such a shitty company? Lol

And ya Cheng xiao and some other people in their company have logos too but it look way different. This is Cheng xiao’s:

I think this is zhou Yixuan

Meng meiqi

I think what gets me most about the panther that I’ve said before is how personal and detailed it looks (also for someone like dd, it’s surprisingly cute and adorable, not something a random designer would simply dare draw).

To simplify it enough for the application it's being used for. The original version would not have worked on the sleeve of that panther. That design had a lot of fine lines, and too much detail would have looked muddy and indistinct when scaled to the size that the design would likely be used. The thin lines cutting through the numbers would have looked awful. The updated version on the sleeve is also slightly more cartoonish to fit with the style of the illustration.

To revise it. Designers will often be asked to update a pre-existing logo, whether to modernize it, to adapt it to a client's changing preferences, or to change the tone of it as a brand is being refreshed.

It's not automatically dickish to tweak a logo that somebody else has designed. If the client no longer has a professional relationship with the original designer, their new designer would have free rein to do whatever they wanted with the logo. Because logos are such an integral part of everything a client does with their brand, the client will retain full copyright to the logo design and be free to have it altered as they wish. Any designer who doesn't ensure a client purchases and maintains that level of control over a logo doesn't have their client's best interests at heart.

Having said all of that, I think it is self-evident that GG did the Panther design. People can try to wash it all they want, but there's more than enough evidence to conclude that he did that design.

It closely matches his style of illustration

He already has established a design relationship with DD, and they are clearly still together, so there's zero reason why someone else would suddenly be brought into the mix.

The design is special, and feels very personal in tone as opposed to professional in tone. The illustrator clearly put a lot of DD (and AFAIAC, a lot of GG) into the design. It was lovingly crafted and reflects the level of care and skill GG has.

DD showed that thing off like it was a picture of the two of them together. Because it was. And it's the closest thing that he has to being able to share that with the world. The level of pride he took in that design was vastly out of proportion from his usual behavior in relation to his promotional materials. We saw the Valentine's post that he made when the suit was designed. The social media frenzy he went on over the panther design is like a massive escalation of that. It feels very personal.

Just as with the design for the suit, the design for the Panther is uncredited. No one on this fucking planet is going to go uncredited in designing something for Wang Yibo besides GG.

and yb after being shy or *cough*coward*cough* for a year, suddenly going in a full speed that in less than 2 months he and gg already spent time together off screen, with the whole 'same clothes' the next day? I mean it's possible, but. I still believe they become 'official' after the shooting ended. But yeah the question was how far the things go when it's filming or even before it. And don't forget, they USED EACH OTHER PHONE. Does persons who know e/o less than 6 months do that? IDEK 2/2

This is in response to a previous post. Fake, fan fiction, CPN.

BINGO. You hit the nail on the head. There’s no internally consistent logic to the idea that DD was too shy to hit GG up on WeChat, but amazingly had a full-on rapport by the first day of filming, and within no time was telling him he loved him in front of the entire crew (and by extension, the world).

DD would have had countless occasions/excuses to contact GG on WeChat after DDU.

“Saw your performance on (insert show here), was great!”

“Congrats on (insert event here).”

etc. etc.

A guy who is that into someone (and if you believe he was that shy, you believe he was that into GG), is going to find an excuse to chat. 100%. People who think otherwise can’t be thinking clearly. DD might be a reserved, shy guy in some scenarios, but he’s also someone who regularly has to meet new people as part of his career, who goes onstage regularly, who gets in front of cameras on a regular basis, who is quite often bold and outspoken.

Maybe you’re an introvert and you can relate to crippling shyness and just don’t see DD contacting GG on WeChat, but are you also able to get on a stage, get in front of a TV camera, go out onto a TV set and meet new people every week? All these things DD does as part of his daily life. He’s not as shy as all that.

And conversely, there would have been dozens of opportunities for GG to connect with DD, even just out of politeness (which we can all agree he has in abundance).

Hello. I am interested with your opinion. As lot of BJYX  stans said it must be love at first sight for yb and over the time for xz (which is supported by their interview i guess? and how yb remembers their first meeting in ttxs much more than xz does).  when do you think they made it official? as, not the flirting stage or will/won’t we anymore, but officially - seriously? imo i think there were some differences vibes between their interview during untamed and in 2019.

This is fake. Fan fiction. Total CPN. Enjoy.

1) 6/18/18 after their Japanese dinner date, dd was seen in almost head to toe the exact same outfit at the airport on 6/19 (with exception of the jacket and I can’t see the shoes.) If you’ve been to college, you know what it means when you see someone with the same outfit as the previous night, especially if you knew they had a date. He was also extra cheerful and “glowing” in his filming of Happy Camp the next day.

2) 6/22/18, gg posted a very interesting memo with an interesting song and kadian (full translation.) This memo was a comment respond to a post he posted in 2015, which said “Some words should be kept in your heart.” I think this makes sense that this is the moment gg started to confirm his feelings but he didn’t convey them to dd, at least not in person. 

3) GG not only said he found love after waking up from a dream, he said he met his love within the dream. I still firmly believe the dream = filming and being in the MDZS world.

4) DD seemed REALLY upset and mad at gg the last day of filming when they were taking the picture. Usually he would laugh if gg said or do something silly but that day, he seem to think everything gg did was “stupid.” I think maybe gg asked him to distant that day.

2. All yibo fans talking abt him talking abt an ex in ddu have conveniently forgotten what he said that day or how he never defined the gender of his ex, he told the other hosts that he went out someone for a while and ultimately broke up coz they didnt want to commit and wanted the relationship to be ambiguous and he didnt like being in a relationship like that so he was the one who broke up. 

3. I also think yibo asked for the wechat and wanted to contact him again. Maybe I'm over thinking everything but it seems so plausible. i also think that xz gave yibo the response he wanted for commiting to a job with xz when his fandom was hating him so much than. he risked alot just to be in the show with xz, we do know yibo is a go getter and isnt shy about going after what he wants (his whole team from sdc3 are a testament to that) 

This is in reference to a previous post. Fake, fan fiction, CPN.

I’m not at all familiar with this timeline/theory, but just based on what you’ve said it doesn’t really make a lot of sense to me. I think if they had dated before that DD would have been fine with asking for GG’s contact info. It also sounds out of character for GG to date an 18 year old for a while and then discard him.

I also don’t think that GG and DD’s relationship has the aura of an old rekindled flame (with all its accompanying baggage). Their connection gives off the very sweet, pure feeling of a new romance.

“Ten years in, The Social Network has held up infinitely better than the internet idealism running through so much of the criticism that was aimed at the film at the time… The film didn’t predict the role Facebook would play as a vector for misinformation and political manipulation and an incubator of conspiracy theories and extremist groups. It couldn’t foresee the degree to which the company would shape modern global life while attempting to avoid having to take any ownership over the unwanted consequences. What it did understand is that the desire to disrupt the establishment isn’t the same thing as the drive to build something better in its place.”

Many are still hungover due to the “Everyday is everyday” BTS clip from this morning, but I want to share a funny clip that I’m not sure everyone has seen, which has to do with the clip that confirmed xz designed the logos and graphics for wyb’s racing suit and official account mascot.

🐰 told 🦁, "you’re going to japan this time, i'm sure you’ll use pink eyeshadow again, and it's rosy," and then was hit 23 times by 🦁.

[ 180724 ] 🐰 is in shanghai while 🦁 was in japan

[ 180725 ] 🦁 posts this video of him showing off his eyeshadow

[ 190124 ] 🦁 was declared as the new brand ambassador of shu uemura

on the same day, 🐰 posts a story of him showing off his eyeshadow. looking at his angle, he’s obviously showing off his eye makeup, only one eye is painted on and the other is unfinished.

this is either part of their long distance signal system or just crazy coincidences...
