so glad you asked now i can finally dump all the info i gathered for a good reason
during the LNY stream, a few minutes? after they revealed the biker chen skin they dropped this along with my jaw: a collab with the Nanyue King Museum that lasted not even 2 weeks lol (prob because LNY started from the 10th this year aka everything closes)
tl;dr historical museum/mausoleum in guangzhou (the closest china has to HK) with a lot of artifacts, and the collab highlights a few
the original PV for it if you want to hear some guy say how the tiger hook perfectly covers up the broken part of the jade dragon ornament and it looks like theyre fighting like a certain two and that they complement each other
i typed out a transcript so i could tl it and the lin commentary in..due time also here's a vlog from bili to live vicariously through
what lin commentary you ask. incidentally i also saw people asking 'why is Lin even in this the PV just kept mentioning tigers and dragons' well ok remember how her profile mentions she's a Yanese art history nerd enthusiast... there are qr codes on-site you can scan that will being you to a microsite? and they got her CN VA to narrate the descriptions!!! with comments!!!!!! here's a quick TL i did the other day as an example
so yea... she's basically the tour guide 🥹🥹🥹
chenswire and linchen photospots, why did they put swire all by her lonesome at the mausoleum
so. they had a small merch lineup for those who couldnt make it (half/ 3/4 body acrylic stands like the mooncake collab) but there is also a notebook....
WITH CONCEPT ART? OF THE OUTFITS INSIDE... they mention it in the video but they incorporated the artifacts into the design which is so so cool (their outfit silhouettes? are also based on tang-dynasty clothes iirc) BUT ALSO SEE... CHEN WITH PANTS.... i think she could lose one of the twintails but that's not important here so yeah cool historical-fantasy outfit with baggy pants vs cop outfit with funny tied up shirt and skin tight pants... no contest
(This is not an ask if you don’t mind me dumping my thoughts here 🙏)
TIL that the way everyone (who’s close to her) calls chen are different from one another which I find fascinating and cute…
Swire: 阿陈、扑街龙、疯龙etc (ofc Missy with the most nicknames 🫵)
Hoshi: 老陈
Lin：陈晖洁
Bagpipe：陈陈 (Fiona’s so bold… I love her sm)
Fumizuki: 小陈
Wei&Rat king&talulah: 晖洁
Kids in lungmen slum/downtown: 陈姐姐/龙姐姐
Other: 陈sir、陈警司、陈小姐…
Wonder if hg’s gonna add more…
(nodding intensely) wow thanks for collating this
Technically not a nickname but Swire also has 姓陈的 and uses 老陈 when she and Hoshi are talking about Chen in Dossoles which probably means nothing in the grand scheme of things but this little tidbit is just stuck in my head for some reason
