buzzfeed a*popâs mukbang with steven lim: may 29, 2018
starting off the fb live with nothing for 10 minutes LEGGO
âeating my feed⌠where we eat the food i wna eat [and if you guys watch this enough buzzfeed will be paying for all of my meals until i die]â fair enough iâd support that
yes, a joy of drinking boba is always popping that wrap with your straw
when he says âkanpaiâ it sounds like âkan-baeâ which is adorable
i know that itâs hard for steven to try to interact with the audience in the mukbang (a vid broadcast where the host eats food while talking to ppl online)Â but heâs trying his darnedest!
he tongue-popped while cheers-ing with the camera CUTE
steven fact: heâs not fond of tomatoes or olives 0:
âwhy are there 300 ppl watching me eat lunch, you have better things to doâ shut up we love steven eat your food now
steven = abg (asian boba guy as opposed to asian bby girl)
âiâm a messy eaterâ dw steven i am too, the difference is you look cute, while i look like a gremlin shoveling food in my fat ass mouth
âiâm in new york rn, andrew lives in LA, heâs there with adamâŚ. and i dunno what they do in their free timeâ this was when i heard my heart audibly shatter lol !
next [viewer] goal is 500. if we hit that, i will.. run around buzzfeedâs office nakedâ steven pls
steven fact: he has a soft spot for hand rolls!! (âlook at this big juicy boiâ˘â)
jen ruggirello joined the ls and commented sth so i clicked on her profile and did some clicking around (and found some other buzzfeeders too, which was p cool)
âfave worth it adventure was sushiâ makes sense since it WAS his first worth it ep ever but was it just me who was disappointed with that answer? )â:
he tried to pull an adam and take a big ass bite but unfortunately that didnât work out (â:
 someone commented âthat was hotâ after he did that and he just went âuh.. noâ
âiâm gna describe to you in my most sultry voice what is in this sushiâ HM OK
*takes off lid, looks at camera* ââŚlidâ
âchopsticksâ
steven fact: he drinks super slowly (âyouâll see in every worth it episode that my cup? full. andrewâs cup? emptyâ
âthereâs sliced ginger [with the spicy tuna roll]! kinda looks like if you sliced a brain in halfâÂ
oh shit he just stuffed 3 pieces of sushi in his mouth jesus christ
âchubby bunnyâ
question asked: what is the next worth it episode?
âone of my favorite foods, itâs chinese, and it quacksâ
â⌠that wasnât a very good hintâ
âif my mom was watching, i would finish this in a heartbeatâ spoken like a true asian
âwould i do an unsolved video? yes???â
âlook.. no offense against ryan and shane? think about it. they sit in a room and argue at each other like an old married couple and they put together a powerpoint to share to the worldâ
STEVEN U ASS
âthe show is called unsolved and you guys donât solve stuffâ THATâS WHY ITâS CALLED UNSOLVED
âi would def do unsolved bc itâs very easy. what they do is very easyâ
iâm just⌠waiting for ryan and shane to fire back at this slander
âi was a chubby boy and that scarred me. so i work out after i eat, or i donât eat a lotâ :(
steven fact: heâs never??? been drunk in his life???
@cocktail epâŚ.. are you sure tho????
comment: wasa-BYE
âthat punâs a 6/10. sorry try harderâ
âmy chopsticks skills do not make my grandmother proudâ
comment: standrew is relationship goals
âstandrew???â *confused look* âactually i donât mind that, iâm before him. but he has more letters than i do. it should be stevandrew. stevedrewâ TH IS KI D
steven fact: his fave sushi roll is tuna!!
âfun fact about adam: he is the one who talks the most out of the 3 of us. when weâre on roadtrips heâs the one that keeps the conversation going. heâs rlly the glue that holds us all togetherâ well shit that got me shook asf
âdo i miss adam? âŚ.good question. next question. just kidding i do miss adamâ
âhereâs a sushi burp. you wna hear a burp asmr?â
âguadalupe says âur adorableâ. OK⌠LETâS TALK ABT THIS ONE FOR A SECOND. i never know what to say when ppl are like âur so⌠blank. ur so cute. ur so adorable.â how do i respond to that? what do i say? âthank you?â i dunno i just feel weird. i donât like complimentsâ awh steven you deserve so many compliments bc youâre gd amazing
ânoemi just sent me an emoji of a rabbit sending me kisses. what am i supposed to do with that??? i dunno. if you said sth like: steven i like ur jacket.. that would make me happyâ
part of me wants steven to know that he deserves all the gd love in the world but part of me also understands his discomfort with receiving compliments ;-;
âsarah said âmy friend has a crush on youâ. my friend has a crush on you tooâ
question: would you rather have an L-shaped couch or a friend?
âu know what would not leave u? what would be there to hold u at night? the couchâ
WAIT HEâS DOING A GIANT BOWL OF PHO NEXT WEEK??? FUCK YEAAAAAHHH LETâS GOOOOOOOO
heâs done stuffing his face now signing off after almost an hr of âYUM YUM TIMEâ (his words not mine)

The Worth It/Unsolved feud.
Bonus:
I'm trying to hold my laugh
Why you guys are all genius
heâs like âlisten here u fucker. I didnât go through the pain of figuring this out myself on camera for u to come here and ask me about this okâ
He's planning to kill me slowly and painfully
When Andrew said âso first of all, cheersâ my heart stopped beating for second and I was brought back in time to the pizza episode where he didnât wanna cheers pizza. Of course drinks and food are different but still it was really cute. weâve come so far
Life is an interesting thing.
that moment when your crush puts their arm around you and you try your best not to freak out
âDo not shove that in my face.â
Steven Lim Appreciation Post
ok so, recently Steven did this really lovely interview with this youtuber, Rowena Tsai, and honestly? this video is such a delight.Â
we get to see a calmer, more centered Steven and get his thoughts on life, the trajectory of his career up to this point, his dreams for the future, his love for his recently purchased water boiler and his spirit fruit among other things!!
seriously, go watch it and fall even more in love with Steven.
still, watching the video something that really stood out for me - and broke my heart a little bit - was just how hard he is on himself.Â
throughout the whole conversation it shows just how overly critical he tends to get about the content he creates and about himself and his own personality.
he mentions heâs going through a weird phase, dealing with fear and the pressure of having other peopleâs jobs relying on him and his own success.
so much so that the interviewer herself says that from that point on sheâd be asking questions about positive stuff so heâd feel better about himself and what heâs accomplished so far, and at the end of the video she urges the fans to leave positive and encouraging comments for Steven.
and thatâs exactly what this post is for: to extend Rowenaâs request.
guys, go to the video and leave a nice comment!Â
i constantly see on the worth it related tags how much yâall talk about the appreciation we got for him, his show, his personality, just how proud we are of him and how far heâs come, how the content he puts out have the ability to make our days a little better, or even the impact it has had in our own lives, being it because of the representation it provides or even because of the the things we learn, the people weâve connected with and the friends weâve made because of it⌠so how about we join forces and let him know? Â
honestly, heâs so good and works so hard and is so passionate and dedicated to using his platform to provide the asian representation in media he always wanted to see, trying to promote asian-american culture and asian-american creators as much as he can, as a content creator or as a speaker on college campuses (seriously, have yâall seen his instastory about the phò episode? this boyâs on a mission!) âŚso yeah, if anyone deserves love and encouragement and positivity is steven lim :)
letâs go provide it!Â
â
iâm tagging a few people i always see around the bfwi tags so you guys can help spread the word, if you want :)
@worthitupdates @fancybois @andrewilynyckyj @andrewsilnyckyj @moonmccoy @demonproofboi @stevenfact @lavab0y @adambianchi @stcndrews @buzzfeed-boys @softilnyckyj @worthitboys @transilnyckyj @andrewilnyckyjhateblog @mayanangel @en-sam-malas @adamstevenandrew @honeybeurreblanc @thepotatoherself @poiregourmande @stevenlimsâ
so like, i rambled on and on about this in the tags of this post but it was not enoughâ iâve been dragged deep into the steven/ryan rarepair hell, and i just canât take it anymore.
so, here, have some headcanons.
now, before you call for my head, hear me outâ
i donât ship them strictly romantically?
like you know when you have two people and they have this chemistry and they act this certain way around each other and you KNOW they had something in the past????
so like you ship them not as end game but strictly as exes or ex-almosts or whatever you just want them to have history????
steven/ryan is that ship
so like⌠steven is a pansexual hot mess
even bigger than eugene
no seriously, even zach agrees
it doesnât matter that he looks at steven as this lost puppy he just wants to coddle because heâs excited, shy, sunshine all the timeâ when zach says steven lim is an even bigger, gay hot mess than his goddamn chaotic neutral boyfriend, damnit he means it.
steven has so MANY crushes
like one every other week
he just really likes beautiful peopleâ and literally everyone at buzzfeed is beautiful.
and itâs like??????? there was one time he was hopelessly enamored by safiya and another time he had a HUGE thing for all four of the try guys (aside: he definitely started the âcalling ned fulmer dad/daddy every time you compliment himâ trend, you can fite me on this) and another time he had a crush on tyler, safiyaâs boyfriend, and another time he just really loved looking at evan, and another time he was waxing poetic about both kelseys, and another time he just really, really liked both ben and his girl friend.
listen. steven is a mess. he is a mess surrounded by gorgeous people. someone save him.
anyway. so he had a crush on ryan.
and literally all you have to do is watch his goddamn live streams on facebook to come to this conclusion
steven limâs actual reaction to ryan bergara shedding his shirt: HAVE YOU SEEN ANYTHING MORE GORGEOUS THAN THAT?????
goddamnit, steven, calm the fuck down you are on cAMERA
anyway, steven, when heâs comfortable enough around his crush, is super vocal about it. and he flirts. badly.
like so bad.
the entire office is stuck between perpetual second hand embarrassment and just absolute endearment
itâs like watching their little brother ask out his crush to prom
itâs⌠itâs a mess. steven is a mess.
but the thing is, ryan kinda liked the flirting.
he really liked the flirting.
so after the sneaker episode of worth it, he took steven out on a date.
and another one.
and another one.
and another one.
they went out for a total of four months.
and in those four months, exactly four things happened:Â
1) everyone avoided Shane, because jealous Shane is fucking terrifying,Â
2) everyone avoided Andrew, because the oh my god youâre jealous teasing always led to the inevitable iâve been pining after steven for fucking years so yes, iâm fucking jealousâ iâm so jealous i canât see straight hissing and itâs awkward for everyone involved,
3) everyone avoided Adam, because the man is just so stressed because his best friend is so stressed but Steven is also his best friend (he wonât admit it out loud) and Steven is kinda happy so heâs stuck in this push and pull between these two energies and it is exhausting,
and 4) steven and ryan fell in love and out of it really quickly
like, srsly, they got whiplash with how fast they went through the phases
at some point they were really into it, with ryan holding stevenâs hand and steven getting flustered and ryan kinda grinning and standing on his tip toes to kiss his red face
and there were moments of really heated 1-on-1 basketball matchesâ but letâs not get into that.
and, yeah, being around each other felt super nice and getting to wake up to each other on some days was super nice too
but like⌠their interests never did meld together much
soon, they started wanting to hang out more with other people than each other
and steven lost interest super fast because god ryan is such a fucking dork
by the time they reached the three month mark, they kinda felt like they were performing.
just⌠the giddy rush of feelings were no longer there. being together felt like an actual chore instead of a privilege. so. yeah.
lucky for them it kinda happened at the same time? and it happened in such a way that they recognized it in each otherâ so by the fourth month mark they looked at each other and came to the conclusion that they were just better off as friends.
and it was super lowkey. no fighting. no tears. maybe like one last make out session, but like, after that? nothing. no drama.
it was so quiet the people at the office thought they were still together.
and⌠well. they were kinda salty at each other for a month or so? like they didnât really ignore each other or vague about each other or rant about the other.
they recognized that it was a mistake and embraced it as an experience.
but⌠you know. they did miss each other and what they had.
they got over it though. steven sent ryan a meme (some really obscure one that, honestly, he doesnât even remember anymore) after about a month of their break up
and ryan started this super weird chat about the progression of memes from rage comics to the weird gen z humor that them millennial canât understand. they had this whole back and forth until 3 am.
and with that they were ok
they fucked with people a lot tho
like the amount of times they referred to each other as âmy exâ gave both shane and andrew a heart attack
âhi, iâm steven lim and this is my exââ
âhi, iâm ryan bergara, did you want to see my ex?â
âoh yeah, iâm just waiting for my ex to get here.â
they sometimes slip and still kiss each other on the cheek a lot just to fuck with kelsey d. and ned, because honestly those two were the most scandalized at the notion that you can still be good friends with your ex
(ryan made sure to kick steven out of his netflix account thoughâ literally the first thing ryan did the second they were done with each other)
the first time someone referred to them as boyfriends after the break up was at an office party and they casually, simultaneously replied:Â âoh we broke up a month agoâ
and, swear to god, andrew spit out his drink
shane left for a moment to get another drinkâ his poor heart just couldnât take anymore of it
a good thing about this little piece of history: they like to drag each other about it a lot.
âi hate you.â âYEAH BUT YOU DATED ME, SOââ âshut up ryan!â
âhey, have you finished those numbers yet?â âyeah. literally an hour ago.â âwow, that was fast.â âlike you in bed?â âoh for theâ FUCK YOU, STEVEN.â âyou already did.â
âguess who i am: oohhh, iâm going to hog the bathroom for an entire hour just so that my hair is perfect oh look at me and my silvery locks, oooohhh!â âguess who I am: oooohhh, look at me, i like to be shirtless almost all the time, and i have all these gym selfies i never post because i like looking at myself too muchâ watch me flex in front of the mirror every morning!â
another good thing: steven was the one who let shane know that ryan was versa af.
that was an interesting drunk, 3 am conversation. a week later ryan and shane finally got together.
steven and shane high-fived. ryan was visibly distraught.
another another good thing: when steven finally got his head outta his ass and realized that andrew is a pretty great guyâ but was too afraid to go for it because, hey, remember how that turned out (also he was kinda freaked because his crushes usually only last for about three weeks or so but with andrew it fucking persisted and itâs⌠it might be the real deal and he doesnât know how to handle it)???
anyway, ryan was the one who gave him the goddamnit steven, go for it! pep-talk.
it took a bit longer with andrew and steven because andrew has been crushing for so long and heâs seen steven sorta fall and then lose interest so many timesâ he doesnât want them to be anything like that.
but steven does prove to him little by little that he wants this so much more than the others and they do get together eventually.
steven and ryan stop kissing each other on the cheek thenâ but they do still refer to each other as exes.
theyâre labelled as âmy exâ on each otherâs phones.
tbh, theyâre beating a dead horse by this point.
but, whatever. they like to laugh about it.
(shout out to @honeybeurreblanc and another friend of mine (who i think doesnât want to be tagged but is an absolute angel nevertheless) for screaming about this the both of you are the best.)
This may be the headcanon I'll never forget
what are your fave standrew moments from the show?
top moment is the whole wine episode. like, legit the whole thing.
the beginning of the hot dog episode when stevenâs on the fire escape and andrew is just like âwtf dudeâ
the Hand-Flex and Heart Eyes in the bagel ep
âoh my god, are you about to propose?â
âso iâm second choice?â ââŚâŚ. youâre the best friend today.â
âitâs like my soul is flirting with the devil.â âeXACTLYâ
australia steak ep when andrew startled steven several times (why do u want your boy to drown, andrew?)
âis that what youâre like on real dates?â
the straw moment when they drank iced coffee in japan
âi love this taco as much as i love youâ the whole sequence
also âcan i feed you a biteâ and steven staring into the camera while nodding (and basically whenever andrew feeds steven hmmmm)
also when the last chef in the brunch episode thought they were a couple because steven went ultra heart-eyes at andrew while saying that the way to someoneâs heart is brunch
âdo your cute thing!â
âitâs like spicy soup. you love spicy soup.â ok
also whenever andrew is hyper-focused on steven and just stares at him when he talksÂ
steven yelling at andrew when he walked away and andrew stole the fries in the hot dog ep
the end of the super bowl ep
the ice cream eating in the super bowl ep
basically the whole damn super bowl ep
âthat guy right here, thatâs my boyâ
the second stop in the fried chicken episode, including âhot honeyâ and âandrew with the adjectivesâÂ
and âitâs like making love and i donât have any experience in this departmentâ âreally?!â immediate cut
âhow deep?â âkind of like your deep voiceâ immediate cut
whenever andrew really swears and steven goes âoh, shootâ or âhellâ it will never not get me
the Talk About Owning A Farm Together
eggplant and cucumber because i am 11 years old
an (unprofessional) birth chart for andrew and steven
 note: this is poor bc we donât have all info so it could be not true, but close enoughÂ
also sorry if this has been done before
ANDREW
birthday: may 23rd, 1990 (new jersey)
gemini sun (overall personality) / taurus moon (thoughts, inner workings of the mind) / aquarius rising (how they come across to others)
what this means: (briefly)
gemini sun: collecting + sharing information, adapt to different social settings and friends, clever and witty, many friends but not very intimate (at first), gain much specialized knowledge, opportunist
taurus moon: persevering, try to find safety and build comfort, strong willed, conservative, not really a risk taker, romantic, sentimental, reliable, people find them calmingÂ
aquarius rising: freedom loving, easy to be with but can be a loner, intellectual superiority, stubborn
for andrewâs i used cafeastrology.com and plugged in his birthday, time unknown and trenton, new jersey if youâd like a more in depth readingÂ
note: place of birth is unknown so i used the capital of the state they were born in
STEVENÂ
birthday: november 12th, 1990 (ohio)
scorpio sun (overall personality) / virgo moon (thoughts, inner workings of the mind) / aquarius rising (how they come across to others)
scorpio sun: determined, have their own mind, like to have power âbehind the scenesâ, patient, investigate life, energeticÂ
virgo moon: like to find security, want to be appreciated, like to be needed, (come across as) lacking self confidence, appreciate simplicity and not receiving as much attention, express affection in small and practical ways, shy with new people but once they know the person they are not shy, anything but shy really, humbleÂ
aquarius rising: individualistic, intellectual, curious, kind and likable
for stevenâs i used cafeastrology.com and plugged in his birthday, time unknown and columbus, ohio if youâd like a more in depth reading
note: place of birth is unknown so i used the capital of the state they were born in
note: i pulled whatever stood out most and relevant to their characteristics we see, i am in no way a professional, but if you (like i have) find truth in these statements, im glad to hear. feel free to ask me any questions.Â
below the read line i further analyzed how this would work in terms of relationships (and specifically in terms of standrew, hence why itâs an optional read)
