During his Nars livestream the presenter asked XZ about fans discovering that they could see different images by shining a torch on the art that came with his album.
He confirmed that it was intended as a clever easter egg.

no srsly if your feed feels off check out this section. some massive overreaching in the filters going on here despite the fact my base settings are extremely permissive 💀
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

High Mountains Flowing Water (高山流水) wasn’t just music. It was soul recognition. When Bo Ya played the qin, only Zhong Ziqi could truly hear the peaks and rivers in each note. After Ziqi’s death, Bo Ya broke his instrument in grief, vowing never to play again. Their story gave rise to 1/2

10 years since XZ decided he was too hot to work in an office for bad pay and the people judging the first rounds of auditions for X-Fire evidently agreed.
(10 years ago, the first episode of X-Fire was recorded.
This is a fancam of XZ's performance of Cruel Moonlight for that ep.)

There's something wonderful and funny about having a fandom in law. Like, I don't go here, but my friend does, so now I know random shit about F1 teams or wrestlers or kpop groups
Then you see something about their brainworm and you bring it to them like a crow, like "I saw this and thought of you"
