Made An Introductory Carrd To Liu Meitong!

I'll stick to my single-log bridge until it's dark

Yeah no I'm no longer a zhehan stan acc. There's no way the visits to Yasukuni Shrine and Nogi Shrine were purely coincidental.

For the folks who are detached from the intergenerational trauma of Japanese colonialism, here are some history facts from 1937-1945 World War 2 that personally impact my decision:

- The bataan death march. I have family who experienced this.

- The history of comfort women and girls: Grassroots activists from South Korea, China, and the Philippines are still fighting TO THIS DAY in order to get reparations for the enslaved women forced into prostitution. There were children who were kidnapped. Its too traumatizing to share more detail.

- Japanese occupation and bombing of my city from 1941-1945

There are multiple recent sources stating Zhehan's involvement in these insensitive acts and I cannot bring myself to believe he didn't know any better. Yes, people are sensitive to this news because we continue to mourn the events that occured less than 80 years ago. History may be of the past but the past impact our present day realities.

Whether or not you continue to support Zhehan is your choice. What I find disappointing about this discourse is the disrespect regarding Chinese people's anger. The context is heavy.

i miss him :(

♡ 6 COLORING PSDS FOR KPOP CONTENT CREATORS ♡

hi my friends! lately, i'm feeling our content creator community has been going through some challenges. for me, coming across a new resource can get me excited & inspired, so i wanted to offer a resource of my own to all of you - i can't do much as a still-fairly-new cc, but i am sharing 6 of my fully adjustable, made-from-scratch colorings (original is in the circle, with PSD on the outside for each example). i hope they may provide some inspiration to someone here.

credit is not necessary, & adjust these as much as you want! however, if you find these useful, i'd love if you would reblog so other ccs may also be able to find them. and i'd really love it if you would send or tag me in your creations so i can see !

download here // details on each PSD under the cut // feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

I LOVE YOU (bright-1) is a vibrance-boosting PSD for brightly lit scenes. it utilizes gradient maps to tone done magentas while maintaining warmth.

FEVER (gentle-1) is a warming PSD that utilizes levels & exposure layers to boost contrast, best for under-saturated scenes.

MIKROKOSMOS (natural-1) is a contrast-boosting, basic PSD. nothing too fancy here - use as a base or on its own for a slight boost!

CLOVER (warm-1) is a low-contrast, warm tone PSD best for bright & cool-toned scenes. adjust the gradient map or remove it for other types of lightings.

PUMA (glow-1) is a warming & enriching PSD for those washed out, cool-toned scenes. gradient maps & levels add depth & contrast.

CINEMA (gentle-1) is a no-frills PSD similar to MIKROKOSMOS, but with lower contrast to give more versatility and a natural glow to your scene.

i’d like lwj to be friends with more women but his options are fairly limited. i can’t imagine him being actually close with jyl because they’re too polite to each other. even when lwj is used to wwx being wwx i think he would see wwx tease jyl and be Shocked Scandalised, wei ying how could you torment your sister who has never done anything wrong in her life ever. good siblings-in-law but idk about close friends. there’s wen qing, and they have mutual respect and also of course gay lesbian solidarity, but also top requirement for lwj having a friend like this, surely, is that he can potentially get a second opinion on Feelings instead of just doing internal suffering. which you cannot discuss with the mildly terrifying best friend of the subject of said feelings. mianmian is a great option but really she can’t be expected to befriend every sect heir who is bad at expressing themselves socially, surely one is enough

In case no one told you growing up

Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.

If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)

Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.

You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)

Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.

Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.

To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.

Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.

Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.

If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.

Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.

After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.

Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.

Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

Happy Tears!

wei wuxian wanted to save everyone but lan wangji wanted to save /him/

i love wwx as much as the next person but never forget that he would use 3-in-1 shampoo. yes, he has gorgeous hair but he also 100% definitely absolutely uses 3-in-1,,, there’s no arguing this. the guy has a multi-purpose stone slab in his man-cave/bedroom/lair of angsty teenager cringiness,, that shit is his bed, his experiments table, the place where he teaches a-yuan to write and stuff, and like anything else he ever needs to do is done on the slab,, if lwj had ever come back to visit him a second time he would’ve walked into his cave and seen wwx and wq dissecting a corpse on the slab and they would’ve been like oh hey we’re trying to see if we can let wn eat again. like two hours later granny would have walked in and been like here’s lunch! and wwx would just floot floot and off the corpse walks back outside to chill with the other corpses and he takes the bowls from granny and puts them on the same slab that just had the corpse on it. now lwj is not squeamish by any means but like,, there is still blood on the slab,, a dead person was just lying there,, but wq and wwx are digging in already and he doesn’t wanna be rude so he just keeps quiet and pretends not to see the person-shaped bloodstain on the slab. when they finish lunch lwj looks around and is like hey i thought you slept here,,, where do you sleep? and when he turns around wwx is just enjoying a mid-afternoon nap on his bed (the slab),,, so yeah wwx uses 3-in-1 at the least,,, maybe even a 5-in-1 if we’re calling him out,,
