It’s me on: BJYX

Yellow peeps, how’s life? Happy Christmas by the way. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday amid the pandemic. Some of you must be questioning what is BJYX. Well to tell you, then I have to start from the bottom up. If you are a fan of The Untamed 《陈情令》a Chinese drama adapted from Mo Xiang Tong Xiu’s 《墨香铜臭》hits novel Mo Dao Zu Shi 《魔道祖师》then you would be familiar with three other adaptation, from Audio drama, comic 《漫画》and animation《动画》. This novel (along with her other novels) is categorised into BL (Boys’ Love) or commonly known as Yaoi in Japanese terms and the fan is referred as FUJOSHI. Aaah!! 😝

I was not a fan of this category since a lot of time I found Yaoi stories were too focused on “SEX” scene which is a big no no for me just because I prefer a softer story line that includes every aspect of their life; until I found this anime — Grand Master of Demonic Cultivation《魔道祖师动画》, basically the same title with the novel. I asked a friend if she knew anything about this animation, since it was my first time getting into Chinese animation that close enough to match the Japanese anime (she’s a wonderful artist, her works are amazing and she knows a lot about manhua/manga and anime). WOW! That was my first impression to its art, this 《魔道祖师动画》is really something. As I thought, she knew and she read the novel. Aha,.. PERFECT! I kind of disappointed when I learnt it’s BL; I was not a fan of it after all. But she convinced me to read the novel which then I found amazing, there are hints of romantic and “sensuality” in the last couple of chapter (if you are interested in the sex scene, skip the whole novel then read the extra part 😂). Let me put the translated work link here in case you are interested in reading it. For the manhua/manga, I read in Chinese from its official manhua app Kuai Kan Man Hua 《快看漫画》, but there are many unofficial translated works out there. Long story short, after the novel, she convinced me to watch the drama adaptation. Firstly, I never watch any live action drama/films that adapted from anime; however, I gave it an exception just because she told me the drama is at another level. Hmm… I thought if she said so, then let me give it a shot. And BAM!!! I fell in love to those two main characters. Duh!!! 🙄

Then, what is BJYX? This is a fandom of the main actors of The Untamed, Xiao Zhan 《肖战》and Wang Yi Bo 《王一博》. BJYX stands for Bo Jun Yi Xiao 《博君一肖》, originally written 《博君一笑》that literally translated into “to make someone smile”. However, the fandom is written 《博君一肖》by replacing 笑 into 肖, same pinyin (romanisation) but different character. Did you notice the character in Yi Bo’s name and BJYX? Yes, it’s the same character which is referring to Yi Bo and the Xiao character is referring to Xiao Zhan and we call ourselves turtles 🐢. Hahaha… Later you will find BJYXSZD — Bo Jun Yi Xiao Shi Zhen De 《博君一肖是真的》that literally translated BJYX is real. (Psst… I am smiling ear to ear writing this post). I used to refuse the thought that they are “privately involved” beyond a good friend. However, there are hundreds of videos showing their affectionate stares and body language which makes me in disbelief. I questioned my eyes for what I have seen; my heart told me that my eyes are not fooling me though. But look, I need to clarify something to avoid misleading: 1. I am proudly their fan; 2. I never confirm that they are real, at least not until they make their statement; 3. I am not pro nor against LGBTQ — they are human being who have the same rights; 4. Can’t I just ship them? If they eventually board the ship and sail, then let them be; 5. As their fan, I will support them and their works; 6. I just want them to have and maintain their good relationship (in any forms); 7. I am not going to write the AO3 scandals that led the boycott to Xiao Zhan, for me that’s still ridiculous!

I told my self whatever they did on the screen is business only and part of fan service, however their eyes can not lie. Their eyes tell everything we want to see and to hear. Hahaha… Oops 😅! Go watch The Untamed BTS videos and many other fan made videos and tell me what you saw. Many “coincidences” if you do not want to call it arranged and shared by these two. They have gained worldwide popularity after The Untamed 《陈情令》. I followed their Weibo too just because I can! This novel and its adaptation is a huge success from audio drama to manga to anime to live action and then this live action drama eventually held their fan meeting with concert in China and Thailand (not sure if there was in other countries too?). These two are exceptionally amazing in their skills; Xiao Zhan’s melodious voice and Yi Bo’s infectious dances. Aah, and before I forgot; I need to say, “You guys solo fans and black/anti fans stop spreading hates. Let us turtles 🐢 dream a sweet dream whilst running towards our own goals but you, please get a live.”

I did leave my expectation behind as I want to watch the first episode without any expectation. At least if it does not suit my preference, then I would not feel disappointed. So, I watched the first episode and then I ended up downloaded the whole episode (50 episodes in total). I started to crave more on the actors who portrayed Wei Ying 《魏婴》and Lan Zhan《蓝湛》— the main protagonist. Xiao Zhan《肖战》 and Wang Yi Bo《王一博》are the two actors who portrayed Wei Ying 《魏婴》 and Lan Zhan《蓝湛》. When I read the novel, I could not imagine anybody but Vic Zhou to play Lan Zhan; well he perfectly portrayed that icy cold Hua Ze Lei in Meteor Garden. Then I learnt this little Yi Bo could handle this icy cold character effortlessly amazed me. Months after the drama finished airing, unconsciously I am obsessed to these two. That Xiao Zhan《肖战》 and Wang Yi Bo《王一博》took offer my head and stay there rented free, unknowingly I became this BJYX fan. LOL…

Now I have board this ship along with other turtles but the ship has not sailed yet. I expect to see more candies in the future. Again, I like to see them together; I love their chemistry; I love them being sweet to each other; I love them for who they are. All I want is they maintain their good relationship (in any forms), if it is behind the screen then keep giving us more candies; so then we know that you two are alright.
