Happy Birthday Xiao Zhan!!!

March 2022, when I first saw The "Untamed" there was never turning back!! First of all, it was the search and research of Wei wuxian and Lan Zhan, then searching of fan fics and finally you tube, insta, twitter, Tumblr and what not!!!

I just wanted to analyse why it is so... Why you have become so important that it affects the day today life!! And the fact, that it's not only me but millions of people.. isn't it amazing and frightening at the same time..

Now let me dig more into it.. let me find the cause..

While searching videos on you tube , finding that you didn't have any support since the beginning, and you have started from the scratch.. it gives hope to people... Hope to survive the hardships of life!! Hope to fight against all odds and keep smiling!! Courage to keep going!! All of us have dreams but how many have the guts to be that stubborn to keep trying till you get it!! So you are the HOPE!!

In one of your videos, you were explaining about your struggle days, when you used public transport to travel..( Most of the common people , in Asian countries, still use the public transport to travel) you told how pathetic it was, that you were completely stuck to the glass window and you were drenched in sweat.. still you could find something to be happy about.. you could find the beauty in flowing river, the kids playing, the youth enjoying at the river bank.. how many of us have the same attitude.. to find something good in every adverse situation.. not to get affected by the present circumstances and always look up to our goals with never ending faith on ourselves.. How many of us have the feeling of Gratitude for the supreme or the Universe!! It's RARE, Xiao Zhan!! And so are you!!

I saw one of you earlier days videos, where you were taking part in some game activities, where you were eating potato chips as if it was your most favourite food and then recently I saw a video where you said that you have taken divorce from potato chips, and by looking at your recent photos, it's quite obvious too!! How many of us have the will power to let go of our favourite food or snacks and to fight against our own temptations!! "Strong Will power" makes you, "YOU ", the one and only" XIAO ZHAN".

The way you bow your head to show the honour, the way you join hands to give the respect, the genuine smile which you always carry makes you the person of another realm!!

I'm so happy that I found you!!

Keep shining 🌟🌟🌟

Keep becoming the North Star⭐

Just be the same always!!!

Happy Birthday Precious 🎈🎈🎂🎂

There's something so satisfying about the folding together of these corners of c-ent that I follow.

Ayunga and DLS are involved with the show WZC is on. I'm really hoping the wardrobe colour divide in the poster below means there will be two teams or something because I never knew I wanted Ayunga and DLS to be teammates on something but now that's all I want in life lol. Also for WZC to be on that team if that's what happens lol

I am not okay 😭

They showed off their DDU rings 😭😭😭

[wwx-lwj-ai-ni]

Out for a night-time roll. I love them so much hahaha

Yibo's little laugh/shrug when he sees Feng-ge 😂

[wwx-lwj-ai-ni]

Thinking about the new little brothers on Day Day Up and WYB's start there 5 years ago. (Yes this is my biweekly post where I get emotional about the DDU bros apparently lol)

Specifically, I'm thinking about the moment in the gif below where Feng-ge is being very much himself and little Yibo is sitting in the background smiling politely:

Just... that kid in 2016 had no idea he was even going to get picked for the show. He had no idea he was about to gain a second family.

2017

DISCLAIMER: THIS POST WAS MADE PRIOR TO ALLEGATIONS AGAINST QF WERE MADE PUBLIC. HIS MENTION IN THIS LIST IN NO WAY CONDONES WHAT HE HAS DONE. BELIEVE VICTIMS.

I really wish tumblr had a way to permanently delete posts but since it doesn't, I hope at least this message will be seen when it gets reblogged.

So to celebrate the new little brothers competition, here are some gifs of WYB and Feng-ge over the years since:

2018

2019

2020

2021

That 18 year old kid who smiled so politely in the background had no idea this much love and joy and fun was in his future.

And these are just a tiny fraction of the happy moments shared with just one person. There are really too many to count in this little found family.

I will never not be emotional about WYB and his DDU bros. Absolutely never. I could ramble on about them all day long, I'm sure.

Day Day Little Brothers/Tian Tian Xiao Xiong Di

Okay here we go! TTXXD is underway! (I don't have vip so I haven't watched the episode yet, just this intro clip)

"Yibo-gege" lol

There are 6 aspiring little brothers:

Of varying ages:

(First guy didn't say his age in this clip so I left the spot blank, 20, 18, 21, 23, & 22. Please note this is in order of them saying their ages, not in the same order they're introduced above)

Also the first three guys all have "Jié" in their name so I think this is a pun on "Tian Tian Xiong Di" saying "Tian Tian San Jie" instead lol

Also the little caption next to WYB smirking calls him "Wang Jie" (which he revealed on a previous episode was almost his name when he was born)

[wwx-lwj-ai-ni]

I'M EMOTIONAL. Wang Yibo is going to be a big brother. It's finally happening. I'm excited and a little sad but also proud of him because he's grown so much in the past 5 years. And he's going to be such a good role model and mentor.

I assumed before that it would start in the summer because the show has been doing special multi-ep things for the past few years, but for some reason it didn't fully click that it already was summer.

And here it is! The little brother competition! Which new face will join the family we love so much?

I've been watching the 2016 episodes lately when Yibo first started out in a group of other potential little brothers and it's surreal seeing him so shy around the men he now hugs on a regular basis. Who knew? Who really knew in January 2016 that that quiet polite boy would become one of the biggest stars and still return to Changsha every week to film DDU with his brothers?

Omg I'm rambling so much but I really have so many emotions about this that I can't even explain. We've known this was coming for months and yet I'm still not prepared. But I'm excited. I know they'll pick someone who fits in well.
