Cool Stuff I Saw: July 2021

Hey everybody (i.e. myself). A LOT of stuff happened this month. Let's jump right into it.



Life

- I'm back to looking for polaroid printers. I looked up a few review articles. (Link 1) (Link 2)

- I was looking for cheaper display cases because all of the Rolife display cases are $40 regardless of size which doesn't seem right to me. My dad linked me to a few since he knew I was looking for them but they're all rather expensive. (Link 1) (Link 2)

- I took a professional development course on estate planning, which is new to me. Most of the examples used in the course assumed that a person was married and had kids, so I was curious about how an inheritance is split when there are no relatives. It seems that in my province, the authorities will try to seek out relatives, no matter how distant. (Link)

- The "A Bra that Fits" calculator. Based on this calculator I should be wearing a cup size up from what I am used to wearing but that doesn't sound right ^^;; I'm sure it's right, I just wouldn't be used to it probably. (Link)

Sports

The Olympics have begun!

- I wanted to rewatched Cheung Ka-long's fencing match where he won gold, but I had no idea how to watch fencing and had to read this guide super quick. (Link)

Video Games

- Cute Gengar latte art!!! (Link)

Internet

- This tweet says that lame and unfunny posts tend to correspond with life going well, and funny posts tend to correspond with life going not so well. (Link)

- This Twitter received a box of Suho and Kuroshitsuji merch and I thought it was cute. (Link)

- Someone recced my ChanLay space AU v.v This was my first Exo fic and it's one of my favourites to this day, so I'm super happy someone liked it that much. (Link)

Stationery

- Someone decorated a card case with stickers and I am in love v.v (Link)

Science

- I was reading Death's End, and the book mentioned a centrifugal governor. I had to look up what it was. (Link)

Chinese Culture

- Duanmu is a Chinese compound surname I hadn't heard of and was surprised to find that it is still in use. (Link)

- Somebody wrote a thread on written Cantonese. Basically, spoken Cantonese can be expressed in both standard written Chinese and written Cantonese. Written Cantonese is a very informal way of writing things, that has not been formalized nor codified, but if you can speak Cantonese and read in standard Chinese, you can probably read written Cantonese. (Link)

Western Entertainment

- I was looking up "that basketball song" that I know from the NBA video games and it turns out it's literally called "We're Playing Basketball." (Link)

Asian Entertainment

- SuLay boyfriends being dressed like twins ToT (Link)

- I'm watching Cherry Magic and I was looking the Chinese name for it. (Link)

Chinese Entertainment

I've written a few posts about how I'm personally handling the Kris Wu/Wu Yifan scandal but I will not link them here because I am trying to move on.

- Apparently WYF's been exposed by his own Fansite to have been creepy to girls since 2013, when he was still in Exo. (Link)

- A former WYF stan coming to terms with letting go. (Link)

- Dramapotatoe is keeping a page to summarize the happenings. I think it is updated as there is news. (Link)

On a lighter note:

- Huang Zitao loves the Young and Dangerous OST song 亂世巨星. Actually, a lot of young guys from China seem to love that song from what I've observed. (Link)

- Yixing unicorn fanart! >w< (Link)

- Yixing cleavage v.v (Link)

- YOUNG YIXING IN A MESH TANK TOP???? WHAT?? SINCE WHEN WAS HIS CHEST **THIS** PROMINENTLY SHAPED? (Link)

Korean Entertainment

- Junmyeon: Handsome vs. uwu showdown. (Link)

- I was talking to somebody about Junmyeon's bfs on H4U. (Link)

- Kimjuncotton IG posts. His photos are actually really pretty. I'm quite impressed. (Link)

- Seho stuff n things. (Link 1) (Link 2) (Link 3) (Link 4) (Link 5)

- Sehun fanart based on his appearance on the Devil Wears Jung Nam 2. (Link 1) (Link 2)

- Suho at the Idol Athletic Competition, with Chanyeol and Sehun supporting him. (Link)

- Gif of Obsession performance with a transition between Exo and X-Exo. (Link)

- Kyungsoo getting help from the fans in a game. (Link)

- Sehun in Berluti 2020 Paris Fashion Week. (Link)

- Junmyeon likes to share because when you share happiness, it doubles, and when you share suffering, it halves v.v (Link)

- Fanart of X-Suho writing a letter to Junmyeon, based on the old comic by Hark a Vagrant XP (Link)

- Two genres of scholar/writer Junmyeon X3 (Link)

- Young buff SeChan in tank tops. (Link)

- Sehun said that he had talked directly to CEOs of streaming companies to have Telephone released. I'm guessing he's actually very good at public speaking and being diplomatic. V. sexy. (Link)

- Adorable Yixing fanart v.v (Link 1) (Link 2)

- Kang Hodong giving Suho a give hug uwu (Link)

- Fanart of Junnoodle calling for questions ToT (Link)

- Chanyeol has all of the Exo figurines :o (Link)

- More fashion model Sehun. (Link)

- Junmyeon being a fidgeting cutie v.v (Link)

- British scooter LayHan. (Link)

- Fanart of little Junmyeonnie in a carrot patterned winter coat T_T (Link)

- Junmyeon holding Minseok's hand in the housewarming part of Minseok's H4U. Junmyeon is naturally just a touchy guy and Minseok just lets him, within reason of course X3 And it's just in Minseok's house! XD (Link)

- Early age Beachmyeon. Something about seeing a dude's nipples through their mesh tank top is soooo hot to me. I saw this photo and brain.exe ceased to function. (Link)

- I found a website with lots of Exo magazine scans. I think it's a Baekhyun fansite. It doesn't have a handy download all button but it's still great that it exists as a resource. (Link)

- Junmyeon's hands default to paws when they're idle. (Link)

- Exo fanart of Sehun wanting to join the teddy bear club with his teddy bear Junmyeon. (Link)

- Exo's old Sunny 10 advertisement. (Link)

- Suho's birthday selfies with each of the members. (Link)

- I'm pretty sure I've linked this before, but this Twitter user drew fanart of plushie Junmyeon in a carrot covered winter jacket and I can't stop thinking about it!!! (Link)

- Suho's patience being tested by Exo. (Link)

- This Twitter user says "The fact that minseok insists on calling hot men who are only older than him 1-2 months "hyung" is very telling of him." XD I love mathyung Minseok but him wanting to be cute for real (and not the aegyo stuff he does for show) is kind of cute haha. (Link)

- I didn't know that this shot of Kyungsoo in the boxers and socks was from his movie My Annoying Brother. (Link)

- I will never get over Junmyeon interacting with Yixing on his instagram live. Baekhyun and Jongin didn't talk to Yixing at all when he was on their lives v.v (Link)

- An old photo with Kai, Suho, and D.O. (Link)

- I actually had no idea the infamous Seho yacht photo was from a vacation they spent with Tao T_T I looked it up online to check and apparently that was a thing, which would make this photo rather old. (Link)

- This is a translation of the letter than Suho wrote to Chanyeol on Suho's Heart 4 U. It was actually rather warm. (Link)

- Apparently Junmyeon was an MC for one of Exo-SC's events! He looks very cute here X3 (Link)

- Apparently Kai drives a motorcycle sometimes (>( without a helmet!). People think it's hot but personally I think it's kind of cute? I know this is Kai on a motorcycle but the vibe I'm getting is Kai on a moped. (Link)

- This quote by Xiumin about Sehun explains exactly how I feel about Sehun. Sehun is adorable, but he also extremely handsome and classy. He's like a baby prince. And Xiumin says that he can see how much Sehun likes his hyungs and always wants Exo to be together T_T Xiumin asking "Sehun-ah, you know hyung's heart right?" is sooo cute. Xiumin also mentioned wanting to bring Sehun onto Drink With God so that he could brag about him. I've been thinking about this. If I had a little brother figure like Sehun, I would definitely want to parade him around being like "look at our sehunnie! isn't he polite and well-behaved? isn't he handsome?" I would want to spoil him and brag about him. (Link)

- There is a Mexican Olympian archer who is an Exo-L and a Bunnyzen, and someone drew Exo themed fanart for them X3 (Link)

- Junmyeon scoring a ten at the idol championships X3 I've never seen this angle before. (Link)

- Some cute KaiLay. (Link)

- Time to thirst over Sehun's waist. (Link)

- SeChen :3 (Link)

- Apparently fans used to bring flower crowns to Exo concerts because Jongin would wear them. That's so cute v.v (Link)

- I found the clip of Sehun holding the Exo light sticks with the most indifferent look on his face lol. Hopefully I can find it in gif form. (Link)

- Junmyeon doesn't mind acting in a nude scene if it makes sense in the script ^^;; Who even thinks of these questions lol. (Link)

- Junmyeon has been thanked in many of other SM artists' album acknowledgments. (Link)

- Don't know how true this is, but apparently Junmyeon was called Korea University of Arts' Cutie predebut because of his looks. (Link)

- Junmyeon just looked really cute in this studio photo. I wish I was as cute as effortlessly cute as him v.v (Link)

- Junmyeonnie looking so adorable for the lipstick swatches he did for a Chinese Nature Republic stream v.v (Link)

- Junmyeon can't see the results on a music show. Also note the Seho. (Link)

- Fanart of baby Suho and baby X-Suho playing pop-up pirate. (Link)
