adoreI just saw something so gorgeous. YouTube decided to recommend me a c-pop performance amongst all the k-pop in my feed, and oh gosh this was jaw-dropping.
I spent the first 30 seconds of the video thinking Liu Yu is animated because he looks too ethereal to be real. He's also charmingly expressive. Friends and dwenizens who enjoy period/costume c-drama, I think you'd really dig this. His long hair! His flowy robes!
There's a part of the performance where the swishing of his robes veiled his face in a beautiful accident (or was it by design?), and the cheering of the fangirls in the crowd at that moment made me smile. Another portion of the song where the cheers are particularly loud are when he raises the veil of his dancer (who's also the stand-in/self-insert for the love interest) with the tip of his fan, to smile into her eyes (and steal her heart, no doubt). The ending was lovely too, with her holding his fan edge and walking with him as though he'd offered her his hand. He's using the fan in the place of skinship and for some reason that's SO hot to me.
Someone in the comments said 'elegance of a noble with the playfulness of a youth' and that's absolute BARS.
That's peak.

Setting context for the second treat. I don't usually enjoy white man handsome (because the jaw shape, physique, mannerisms etc. in men favoured by Western media tends to make them look and seem like Johnny Bravo, who was child Mynah's first ick). But it turns out that fan edits to Lana Del Rey songs are a good way to discover men who are of the Caucasian persuasion, chosen by Western media to fill screens, and yet still get away with being beautiful. Often I feel something, and even when I don't, nine times out of ten I see the appeal.
This made me feel something.
I haven't read the book nor have I seen this movie, but I definitely Felt Something and I think it stands beautifully on its own, as some fan-made pieces do. And I definitely had a crush on this version of Dorian, tragic in the way you'll be if you're forever stuck in the post-adolescent angst of your mid-twenties.
Bonus: I saw an edit of young Leo DiCaprio in Romeo and Juliet to Lana Del Rey's "West Coast" and it's pretty cool. And I finally get the appeal lol! When I saw clips of later him, like in Titanic or Gatsby, I just couldn't see what all the fuss was about.Maybe Leo dates under 25 year olds because he peaked at 25 and can't get over that lol
Better yet, look at Erika Linder cosplaying young Romeo-and-Juliet era Leo DiCaprio.
