Fangirl first and foremost. This is a multi-fandom blog. I will reblog anything that amuses me. My tombstone will probably read Killed by feels. LLD sideblog: Spacemonkeyluvn

Certificate and star map showing the location of Merthur <3

I did actually buy it, in case anyone was wondering. I know it’s just a name in a book and not something recognized by scientists and the universe world at large. But it’s for me. It’s for fandom. And it’s for one of the most powerful love stories I’ve ever seen.

This is the original post, btw.

Part one of the arts and crafts I’ve made that were inspired by Gong Jun & Zhang Zhehan. They’ve inspired me to create outside of my comfort zone but also try things I’ve wanted to do for ages.

I had my own stickers and pins made for the first time. I made my own suncatcher decal. I made a flip book of The Hug. I made faux neon signs of their signatures.

[warpedinside]

First time doing embroidery by hand. Learned a few things but I’m mostly happy with it. And of course my first project is JunZhe themed. It’s supposed to be their rings engraved with 51129 😊

A post about how a shit stain waste of space @ajawrites @bookshop attacked fans of Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan in an article she wrote for @vox, and then went on to slander and defame Zhang Zhehan in an attempt to get the only article published about his cancellation by CAPA retracted.

Here's the context: On June 6, 2022, @vox published an article written by @ajawrites @bookshop claiming that fans of Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan are "conspiracy theorists". In it, she makes all types of claims defaming myself and the entire JunZhe fandom (both here and in China) for being a conspiracy theorist because we do not believe Zhang Zhehan's Instagram account is controlled by him. For those who don't know, Instagram fraud is rampant and there have been several Chinese celebrities who have been the victim of this. Zhang Zhehan's solo fans encouraged the reposting of this article and defended it because they somehow believe that Zhang Zhehan would "comeback" on an international platform before his name is cleared in China (another story for another day).

On June 14, 2022, less than one week after the publication of that article, The China Story published an article about why Zhang Zhehan was cancelled, and specifically that a non-governmental organization called the China Association of Performing Arts (CAPA) was behind the cancellation, not the Chinese government. It also described the efforts made by Li Xuezheng, a famous government-affiliated director, to clear his name. To my knowledge, this is the only story in the world to shine a light on CAPA's role in Zhang Zhehan's cancellation.

After this article was published, @ajawrites @bookshop wrote a long email to the China Story on June 18, 2022 seeking that the article be retracted. She claimed she had done "research" which showed that the article was part of a conspiracy theory (false), that Zhang Zhehan's family was linked to Japan (false), that Zhang Zhehan was cancelled by the government (false), that CAPA wasn't involved (false), and that all those who believe they are are "conspiracy theorists" (false). She repeats anti talking points to smear Zhang Zhehan in an attempt to obtain a retraction of the article.

Yes, they attempted to get the only article in the world that described CAPA in a negative light retracted.

We have a copy of the email. Here are some excerpts of her own words.

Here's @ajawrites @bookshop insinuating that Zhang Zhehan was banned by the government, when it has been proven on multiple occasions that the government did not ban Zhang Zhehan.

A writer who cannot even get this fact right does not deserve to be called a writer or a thinking human being.

Here's @ajawrites @bookshop claiming that Zhang Zhehan has family ties to Japan, which is FALSE.

Zhang Zhehan himself stated in his interview with Li Xuezheng on January 1, 2022 (seven months before this email) that this was not true. Yet, @ajawrites @bookshop continued to spread this smear to the editors of The China Story.

How does someone who is too lazy to confirm facts become a "culture writer" for @vox?

Here's @ajawrites @bookshop claiming that their "research" shows that the public genuinely hated Zhang Zhehan. They claim that Zhang Zhehan was not cancelled by bad actors, but rather by the "public".

They ignore all the proof and statements that what happened was due to malicious competition and monopoly. All of this was readily available, had @ajawrites @bookshop actually done diligent research. Li Xuezheng had, after all, talked about it for weeks at the end of 2021 and early 2022.

But of course @ajawrites @bookshop knows better! They know better than even Chinese people! They even know that CAPA is a government organization, when CAPA itself said that it is not government and does not represent government.

Pretty rich for white journalist @ajawrites @bookshop to claim that when Li Xuezheng, a renowned government affiliated film director, says that Zhang Zhehan's cancellation was not done by the Chinese government but instead by CAPA, he is spouting a "conspiracy theory".

@vox is this the sinophobic journalism that your publication now publishes?

Here's @ajawrites @bookshop defending CAPA by stating that it is not to blame for Zhang Zhehan's censorship from all media platforms in China.

Except they failed to read the multiple media reports indicating that CAPA had allied itself with multiple media platforms to ban those it deems "immoral". These media resources includes a western outlet, Reuters. Basic due diligence would have unearthed this, but it appears neither @ajawrites @bookshop or @vox care about the facts.

Here's @ajawrites @bookshop suggesting (as a white foreign writer with zero access to his case), that it is "unlikely" that Zhang Zhehan's investigation would go anywhere, that he can't come back, that he is "already back".

These are clear anti talking points easily found on Chinese social media.

Of particular note is that @ajawrites @bookshop claims that these conclusions are a result of their "research". Yes in their own words, in 2020 they were just learning Chinese. With their level of genius, I bet they're far from being a beginner.

Yet, this is the type of "expert" that @vox employs to write about Chinese fan culture.

The article in China Story is one of the only published articles in the world that details how Zhang Zhehan was cancelled by CAPA, not the Chinese government. Yet @ajawrites @bookshop, great friend to Zhang Zhehan solo fans asked for a retraction.

Yes, we have the email. They actually did.

Who has incentive to take down an article that speaks negatively about CAPA? Who has incentive to water down statements negative to CAPA? Who has incentive to perpetuate smears against Zhang Zhehan internationally?

Who better to manipulate than a lazy and dumb writer like @ajawrites @bookshop

I do wonder how @vox and its advertisers feels about @ajawrites @bookshop spreading slander about a Chinese celebrity and his fandom? I wonder if @vox even bothers with basic fact-checking? I wonder if @vox is okay with one of its writers contacting another publication in an attempt to supports their biased views?

To the Zhang Zhehan fans (Zhang Sanjian believers) who have fawned at the feet of @ajawrites @bookshop: good to know that you support those who defend CAPA, the organization that cancelled Zhang Zhehan.

And one last thing to @ajawrites @bookshop: only a shit stain waste of space would write an article about a celebrity to gain a following in his fandom while actually despising him, believing the smears against him, and thinking he's a t******.

We call people like you blood sucking vampires.

Stay in fandom long enough, often enough and you will probably encounter Aja Romano at some point. If you haven’t, consider yourself lucky; they have been stirring shit in fandom for over a decade.

Aja’s latest stint started last year, when they wrote an article for Vox detailing how fans of Zhang Zhehan and Gong Jun - often known as JunZhe fans - were delusional conspiracy theorists for believing Zhang Zhehan, unjustly slandered August 2021 and effectively silenced on CN social media, was not the one behind the Instagram account formally run by him. (It’s a long story and I suggest going to catch up at @bizarrequazar masterposts).

Well, there is far more to the story and @bluebirdmuppet has outlined the scathing details on Twitter.

I have some choice words that cannot be spoken in polite company, so I shall simply use the line that many have iterated before:

If you side with Aja, you are on the wrong side.

[brilcrist]

Aja Romano @bookshop @ajawrites

You fcking heartless monster!!!

You call yourself a journalist but what you did is defamation, borderline criminal act!!! Wang Yibo dont deserve such a nasty fan like you!

I hope Zhang Zhehan sue you and Voxmedia for those horrible thing you did, you disgusting twat!!!

New Year Celebration and Giveaway!

A-Han is here to hand out good luck and fortune! To welcome the Year of the Rabbit, Four Seasons Figthusiast is holding a giveaway of all kinds of Word of Honor, Wenzhou, and Junzhe merch. Read on, noble figthusiasts!

I'm putting the fine print up first:

You don't need to be interested in the actors beyond Word of Honor, but no either Gong Jun or Zhang Zhehan antis and no ZSJ followers.

If you want to be part of this giveaway, go ahead and give this post a ❤️, and you'll be included. No need to follow me, but all previous followers (I've screenshot-ed my list just now) will get double entries as a thank you.

As a special thank you, my top 3 active followers per my dashboard are already winners, if you choose to participate, I'll message you for your choice of prizes.

Giveaway starts right now and ends Friday morning 1/20/2023 at 9am Pacific Standard Time.

On 1/20 I'll select 5 winners, and they can pick from the prizes in the order that they win. There are multiples of some prizes, and any prizes not given away will be given away in the future!

US based only except for the Fig Pre-Order prize, which is international only. If you are international and win you will default to this prize.

Items marked as brand new are indeed brand new, others were purchased from a previous owner from Xianyu, and all in good shape.

P R I Z E S. . .

PRIZE 1: RealGe Be Bright All-In Set (brand new). I uploaded my warehouse photo from SB since they already have a flat lay, but this is in fact stateside. Includes the photobook, mini photobook, shikishi art board; flash drive with 6+ hours of behind the scenes footage, keychain, plastic tumbler, photocards, and a little mini projector thing:

Prize 2: Spring Autumn Dreams Word of Honor / Junzhe Photo Book (from XY), together with the Official SHL Concert Gift Box contents (brand new from XY): includes tote bag, folding fan, and 2021 calendar given away to SHL concert attendees. Yes, the calendar is hopelessly out of date, but the photos are meant to be turned into postcards. No box, unfortunately, it didn't survive the overseas trip:

Prize 3: Wenzhou Hairpin figs, as seen in this post (brand new), can be sent with or without the spicy artwork box:

Prize 4: Plush kitten and puppy Junzhe 7cm Dolls / keychains (brand new and un-Rua-ed [don't have their faces mushed to the shape of your choice yet]):

Prize 5: Tanghulu Niuniu fig, as seen in this post (brand new):

Prize 6: Be Strong fig, as seen in this post (brand new),

NOTE If you pick either Zhehan fig and (naturally) want a Junjun to go with him, I have some options I'll message the winners about.

Prize 7: Doreamon figs as seen in this post, picture included but no frame (from XY):

Prize 8: Weiyang Photobook set All-In (except missing the figs, ironic I know, the seller didn't send them). Does include the snowglobe. Brand new(ish) but missing some cellophane packaging. Includes photobook, big wall hanging, flash drive with footage, mini PBs, standees, luggage tag, slogans, postcards, cards:

Prize 9: Wenzhou cut-paper plug-in lamp (brand new but plugged in to confirm it works, actual pic below), plus tote bag and Wenzhou silk scarf (both brand new, just unfolded to show the designs) plus a bunch of other assorted Wenzhou photos and postcards / stickers / paper goods (not shown):

Prize 10: Hydrangea Photobook set All-In, includes pajamas size medium (can send without the PJs as well), standees, clips, keychains, cards, stickers, portable chopsticks/spoon set with case, 2022 calendar (also hopelessly outdated, but you'll have the pics!), ceramic cup, and photobook, all brand new except for the photobook:

And last, but definitely not least:

Pre-order Fig (International Only): I felt bad that all my merch is stateside, and international shipping is prohibitively expensive for big items. So, you get your choice of any fig or fig set that are currently available for pre-order (there's some really good ones!). I'll send the winner a list of these figs.

Please note any pre-order can be expected to take months to be produced. I will direct ship these to your address from the SB warehouse when they are ready.

Alternatively, if there's an existing fig you really want off Xianyu we can talk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for reading! Feel free to leave any notes about any prizes you're excited about!

I'm looking forward to folks getting some fun merch - good luck!
