Every time there are new pictures of Hudson I rejoice the first hour and then it is a kill-joy. The reason? Their awful "fans". Always, always, "fans" are analyzing, criticizing and creating bad vibe; doesn't matter if it is his friends, his gf, his groomer, his manager, etc. And this is every freaking time! Please, I just want to enjoy watching his face, I don't care if his friends or whoever is annoying, miserable, whatever. Why are we talking about unknown people!

[kizunayuemichaelis]

Hudson said that he and C are not the Olsen twins so we may never see them in another project again. But if there is one project they'd do together (musical, stage play, short film or whatever) my biggest wish is a CK joining campaign 😭😭 that one is the most I want for HudCon.

[kizunayuemichaelis]

My take on Hudson:

- he is messy and I love him. I don't like to poke around people's past, I like him NOW.

- he is rebellious, he will do whatever he wants. And since he doesn't want any haters on his IG, I bet he posts thru Aika. So all her pics are probably encouraged by him.

- he loves Connor, they are the best buddies and Hudson obviously looks up to him ("you always steal my things" 🤭). I think he has a platonic crush on him.

- he has a gf. For about half a decade probably. Not a PR stunt. I think he doesn't show much pda bc of the fandom. I think he names her and posts her pics to remind people not to rpf anymore, that he really has a gf for whom he cares about. But he must be aware that the girlies will not be happy if he shows too much affection and will "ruin the magic" ( I kid not, I've read several comments like this). So he really is in a tight spot but due to his personality, he will keep posting his gf in spite of the frenzy it creates and he will keep naming Connor.

- I think he overshares too much, but he is maybe very happy of his new stardom and can't help it. And since he is rebellious, maybe his PR team can't stop him.

- People really need to stop being so invested in his privacy. If he wants to hang out with messy friends, it is his choice. If he wants to use black shoes with white clothes, it is his choice. If he wants to smoke, it is his choice. You can comment and say "I hate his haircut" and move on. Not go and write dissertations over this friend or that publicist, over and over again.

Let him be and let him make his own choices!

My favorite photoshoot... look at how cute they are! 😍😍

[kizunayuemichaelis]

It is kinda amazing (and sad, very sad) that a new fandom is all sunshine and uwu at first: we are all happy and smiling and rooting for the guys to succeed. And then comes the unhinged imagination from fans and non-fans, rumors, and from cpf to being a solo fan and saying the craziest stuff about the other party; and social media (a.k.a, twitter) going from an escape-from-reality place to "good lord, what are the delulus saying now".

On one hand, HR fandom has gone faster downhill in that sense. On the other, at least HR fandom has another season and a more "open" audience (a.k.a, not the Chinese government behind the leads/drama), and their leads can still show up in public together and interact as they did at the beginning, unlike bjyx and tianziyu, who we are probably never gonna see them together again (happily chatting) so that only leaves us with crazy theories and wild love stories.

Tian Xu Ning as Chi Cheng Revenged Love, ep. 24

[kizunayuemichaelis]

So I've read Tian Xuning is shy and introvert in real life. Of course, I did not see any of that in the set of RL which makes me think he was the one I didn't know at all or could not read at all in all these bts. So professional, he was ChiCheng 98% of the times (2% for all the time his clumsiness came out 😂). I honestly though he was a social butterfly and a flirt... I am still 🤔 at the "shy? THAT guy?" 😂

I think many bts are not shown because he had chemistry with everyone. We could see only a bit of him & Zhan Xuan (ZX was such a bottom with TXN 🤭) and the chemistry??

Only one tiny scene btw TXN and LXC. No clips btw TXN and Yueyue actress. Nothing btw TXN and WS. Nothing of TXN with Gangzi. I bet we would have gone crazy with theories btw TXN and any of them if there were clips 🤭 One of the things I disliked in the drama was that CC had chemistry with all of them... it was like, he could start making out with any of them. I hated it, I am a fan of OTP. But for the bts? Ahh I love it and it is sad we could not see more of that 🥲

[echoes-of-a-memory]

Zheng Peng never forgot😂

[kizunayuemichaelis]

wow. just wow 😍 this must be the hottest bts clip. I mean, to see 1) Tian losing his coolness; 2) that MOAN; 3) Ziyu making him moan for once..

I am dead 😌

[kizunayuemichaelis]

Whenever I see the Director-jiejie happy, it makes me happy 😂

Not only she represents all of us.. she guided them so well and was having so much fun.

[kizunayuemichaelis]

The duality of this man... to think he was so shy that firsts days, even having a face that screamed "what did I get myself into?" the longer they were reading the crazy script 🤣

And now we are getting new bts videos every day where he manages to shock us every single time.. whether it is for a freaky thing (his enthusiasm for the bdsm toys) or for a super romantic gesture (every time he is so caring and patient with ZY) or for a ad-lib (like the eskimo kiss) or for his rational thinking (like the plotholes of that damn scene where he interrupts WSW's first initiated kiss). And for each of these scenes, he is never awkward nor insecure.. he oozes confidence and that makes him so sexy and manly.

The staff won the lottery when they chose him. I love how he knows his character and made him his own. That is a very important facet a BL actor needs to have... like a "he IS ChiCheng" or "no other actor could have played him".

[shijiujun]

Tian Xuning be like: Is Chi Cheng stupid!?!?!? He's such a scumbag?! Wang Shuo been gone 6 years not a few days what is he going on about, and treating Wei Wei so harshly cuz of that?!?! Zhan Xuan: ...Bruh do you even know how Guo Chengyu made it through these 6 years...

And this is why it can only be them!!!!! You can always count on them to feel for their characters especially Zhan Xuan with his one-sided Guo Chengyu friendship bromance for 6 years ;-;

That Damn Smile <3

[shijiujun]

Tian Xuning Logic: ❌ Sitting sidesaddle behind your co-star on a bicycle = Wayyyy too gay ✅ Mauling your bound co-star breathless with mouth, back and neck kisses over dozens of takes = Not gay

Kuromyu Masterpost

All right, hold onto your butts, people. By popular demand, here’s the full extent of everything that I have related to the various Kuroshitsuji Musicals. I’m linking this post on the sidebar of my blog as well, to be easily located.

 Any subtitles will be in .ass format (yes, I know, lol, etc. XDDD), which means that they will play automatically if they are in the same folder and have the same name as your video file. I recommend the VLC video player; it doesn’t work with Windows Media Player for some reason. Everything will have the correct file names when downloaded, and every subtitle file will have credits for the translations where I can manage.

Placing everything under a cut for easy editing purposes.

SUPER VOCAL

The best singing competition show. Ever.

I am impressed at the amount of talent in this show. 36 participants and all of them talented as hell. The only reason not everyone is a Principal at the end is merely because of confidence at the time of performing. Which is the only reason Zhou Shen, who has the voice of an angel, was a bit lackluster (it must have been the beginning of his career.. he was nervous most of the times, thank God for sweet Wang Xi who was always rooting for him 🥰).

The lead "actor" of this show is, no doubt, Ayunga. He performed flawlessly every song. The judges and the rest of the boys loved and admired him. Didn't matter if his French wasn't good, his harmonization compensated everything. The 2nd lead, but more or less in the 2nd half, was Zhen Yunglong. I love to see them interacting, the chemistry! And when they formed their group... ahhh, the mentors and their students 🥰 Both of them with the experience and confidence, guiding the youngsters, the "1975" team 🥰

And both enjoy performing so much! It is so much fun to see the singing together. And while not singing, they both enjoy watching the others, and how cute was them worrying for their children? (They deserved to win, tbh, but still, I loved that the professor invited the children to perform with him in his concert... isn't that the best??)

So yes, it is a joy to see the charm of YunCiFang 🥰

There is also a bit of a fight over Zhou Shen... Yuncifang wanted him but Wang Xi was adamant to have him 🤣 so it provided some fun moments:

Besides them, I became a huge fan of Wang Xi (that silky voice 🤤), Yu Di (always consistent in his performances... I love that he got a couple of jobs while the judges were scoring him 😄), Liao Jialin (I prefer his countertenor over Gao Tianhe), Wang Kai (a pro... he was just too competitive 😅), Li Qi, Cai Cai, Hong Zhiguang and Ma Jia and well, all of them actually. All of them very sweet, sensitive boys. The only one I didn't care, in spite of his huge talent, was Gao Tianhe 😅 such a diva.

My favorite performances:

- Bella Ciao

- L'amore si muove

- Les Rois du Monde

- The Sound of Silence

- Nei Blu, Dipinto Di Blu

- La Paloma

- I'll cover you (+ all the other duets btw Ayunga & ZYL. They improved so much since that infamous performance from their college days)

Now I am in the rabbit hole that is Super Vocal 🥲 I am happy this show open doors for them, and that musicals and opera are more popular now in China. These guys deserve every ovation they are surely getting today. I wish I could know more about their current professional lives and how did their tour went after the final. The ending had many tears, including from Yuncifang, and I admit I also shed some tears 🥺

I watched several high rated cdramas this year that are really good (Yanxi Palace, Minglan, Love & Destiny...). But there is one that is criminally underrated; it is like being a fan of a good Jdrama all over again. Few reviews and comments 😭  The drama is “My Treasure”, or 生活家

I loved almost everything about it, the leads, the dynamics between Qiu Dong Na (our very charming female lead) and her mother, her bosses, her enemy... basically, she has chemistry with everyone. What a amazing actress! I even love her physical look and her voice, so different from other Chinese actresses.

It is a very heartwarming drama, basically at first is a slice of life of a mother and daughter living happily with what little they have. The mother is a bit loud, but strong, and she adores her daughter, who equally loves her mother. Dong Na is a recent graduate CPA, and after quitting at her 1st job, she starts working with her former boss (she used to be his assistant for a couple of years). And the relationship between her and her boss, Gu Fei, is absolutely delightful! They both respect and care very much for each other, and with flashbacks from the years she was a student + his assistant, it is not hard to see their bond and how they rely on each other. It is no wonder they eventually realize they love each other... their dynamics were super sweet! I enjoyed so much every single conversation they had with each other.

 While I understand people would not like to watch this drama because of the age gap, in the drama she is around 22 and he is around 35, so the age gap is not very noticeable. And they both learn and scold each other, so there is never a power imbalance.

Super sweet and normal; one of my favorite Cdramas for sure.
