Too Hard To Draw! 😭

There is actually a second issue, and it is the character that friends want to see! The third issue is a character that has been requested many times and drawn many times. I think you can guess it hahaha

This is No9 like a little turntable of elements, but because I drew them with big heads, when they're placed normally, they stand upside down🤣

I don't mean any offense at all, but....

The Utopia of Friendship

They are like a puzzle, each collecting a part of the other, and repeatedly piecing together this piece of the world that belongs only to them on the road ahead.

I finished the painting intermittently after I knew that a new DVD was going to be released. I added some elements in the background that I personally think are more important to them. Anyway, I am looking forward to it! I also hope that there will be an official Chinese subtitled version.

The League of Gentlemen’s Christmas Special

April Fool's Day ended up feeling like watching Psychoville S2E07 (but not really).

Thank you @silverview for recording this moment!!!!!! LOVE YOU!!!!

Reece went out first and after quite a long time, Steve came! If it had been a little earlier, we could've seen their reaction together! 🥹 But I guess it's for the best—if only Reece got a gift and not Steve, that wouldn't have been fair.

I had a whole speech planned, but the moment I saw Reece, my brain went completely blank. No matter how many times I meet him, it's always the same 👉🏻👈🏻. I think I forgot to make eye contact again, but whatever, haha.

Reece actually started the dialogue himself before I even said anything! I saw him from afar, and in the cutest voice, he went: “YOU FOUND↗ IT!!!!!!!!!↘” ~ And then he really started flipping through the book right there in the precious SD time. → Realized it was totally blank. → 😨 (except my letter to him) When I suddenly snatched the book back from his hands. Reece: ?

Then someone behind asked him to sign, and as Reece moved on, I realized I hadn't gotten my own copy signed yet! But thankfully, the assistant had a moment of kindness and actually chased after Reece—who had already flown halfway through the queue—to get my signature. 🥹 Now this is officially my most treasured notebook!

(@batatadulce9: Shouldn’t the first line be “Dear diary, I met him AGAIN.”)

After we said goodbye to Steve (not really). I suddenly said, “Wait, did I just give Reece the wrong copy?” @silverview:“If you gave him the wrong one, you're basically Jeremy. Now you need to find him and get it back!” 🤣

All in all, Reece was way too nice—he didn't jump up and claw at me, just adorable as ever. I was feeling pretty emo this morning seeing the tour dates, thinking I'd never get to see Reece again and maybe I should just stop being a fan (?? There's a sense of being cheated, as I've been treating the end show in London as the last one, and I really want them to move on and write something new. And I think I've become too obsessed with him, and that's bad.). But after seeing how sweet he was at the SD, all is forgiven!

On the bus, Arin and I were saying that we have to work hard and stay here—who knows, maybe we'll even get to see the tour. Having that goal will keep us going! 🥹

P.S. I don't usually talk like this, my pitch isn't this high and I'm not this incoherent, but every time I see Reece I'm like this. 👉🏻👈🏻
