Ahh... It's been one year already since I was able to experience something very exciting in this fandom: the release of YiZhan's Dragon Boat date video.
To celebrate this landmark, I will compile here some of the many things that happened on that day (June 18th) during the shooting.
Brace yourselves, and here we go!
Bonus: the next day, the BTS is filled with GG being hyper and happy. 😏
Whereas WYB has the whole same-clothing-at-the-airport-as-the-day-before saga, and his unusual happiness during the Happy Camp recording.
Bonus 2?: Okay. *Breathe in. Breathe out.* Only now I noticed that WYB was wearing dangling earrings (on both sides!) on the date. 😩 I love him with earrings!!!!! The boy really went all out to be beautiful to his GG. 😌
Bonus 3: After Dragon Boat, DD stays away from shooting CQL for a week, until June 25th unless you think they secretly met on June 22nd (and GG's mood visibly sours on the BTS as the days go by), and when they reunite, this is the first scene of the BTS. 🥹

Poor Castlereagh. Even on his birthday he doesn't get to feel like he was the most important of the three major men born in 1769. 18 June 1815 was probably the last birthday he celebrated without it being overshadowed by Waterloo celebrations.
“Perhaps Anastasia Nicolaevna would have grown up the prettiest of the sisters. Her features were regular and finely cut. She had fair hair, fine eyes, with impish laughter in their depths, and dark eyebrows that nearly met. These combined to make the youngest Grand Duchess quite unlike any of her sisters.
She had a type of her own and was more like her mother's than her father's family. She was rather short even at seventeen, and was, then decidedly fat, but it was the fatness of youth. She would have outgrown it, as had her sister Marie.
Anastasia Nicolaevna was the originator of all mischief, and was as witty and amusing as she was lazy at her lessons. She was quick and observant, with a keen sense of humour, and was the only one of the sisters who never knew the meaning of shyness. Even as a baby she had entertained grave old men, who were her neighbors at table, with her astonishing remarks.”
