I’ve already gone on about how much I hate this wedding decor, but it’s just so bad. So bad. No matter what it’s trying to do, it’s failing.

This production still, however, is magical. It’s got the saturation set just right, so that Shen Wei’s suit matches the blue flowers, and Zhao Yunlan’s brown jacket and boots go so nicely with the wood and upholstery. It’s taken at such an angle that you can almost forget the tacky-ass balloons and streamers are there (though the less said about that rug, the better).

Shen Wei never sits down in the actual scene, so the seated, crossed-arms pose captured here is a particularly fine sulky treat. He has completely run out of lies to tell about his not being Little Black Riding Hood, and as such has given in to the last-resort tactic of invoking Jurassic Park dinosaur rules, declaring that if he can’t see Zhao Yunlan, Zhao Yunlan can’t see him. It’s not working.

It’s also amazing the way they embody their respective furniture choices. Shen Wei brings to the party all the formal fun of a brocade armchair pulled up too close to the coffee table. Zhao Yunlan is nothing if not a fringed couch.

Guardian fans, you should see this transcendent set of tags.

And @sketchy-scribs-n-doods​, you should know a) the name of the show is Guardian, b) they are boyfriends as much as Chinese censorship will allow them to be, c) you nailed like 95% of the dynamic right out of the gate, and d) the person Zhao Yunlan texts shit like that to at 1AM is his cat.

I saw an otter briefly hop on top of a babirusa at the zoo and when the stranger standing next to me heard my camera shutter click he turned to me with this look of immense relief, put his hand to his chest, and said in a dead serious tone “oh thank christ someone caught that on film”

Not the best photo but here it is for posterity

WAIIIT. THE NEW IN-DEVELOPMENT TUMBLR LAYOUT WITH COLLAPSED REBLOGS.

IT REMOVES "NOTES" ALTOGETHER AND SEPARATES EVERY INTERACTION LIKE ON OTHER WEBSITES

I DO NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL

Also it generally doesn't make sense at all. It shows the last reblog of the chain. Which means you only see someone's answer to something, without seeing what they're actually responding to.

This is such a weird change.

Being able to see the whole conversation is half the fun of this website!

So my girlfriend's girlfriend, (an Australian) and I (Murican) were talking about showers, and a bit of culture shock ensued, so now I'm making this poll. If you vote, please reblog with your answer and where you're from in the tags, I'm really curious if this is a culture thing, or if there's something else going on.
