Omg BaekYeol making a come back too~

 

I'm so excited for their comeback. 

Good music with a bonus of Baekyeol.

[..............]

Can I ask if anyone ships Baekyeol romantically or as a bro/best friends/ ship. 

 

I ship them romantically, hehehehe

 

Also, do you guys read fanfiction, and what's you favorite genre/au?

[..............]

I write fanfiction.

 

haha then I've most likely read yours. I started writing a fanfic but it wasn't for baekyeol though. I'll get to writing about them eventually. Can I ask the titles of some that you've written?

[..............]

Makes the two of us here. 

I love angst fics the best. The masterpieces which are 10080 and Baby's Breath will forever be my faves. How about you? Recommend me some!

 

Let's all be on the watchout for our precious BaekYeol moments. They have been very subtle and ninja-like recently so we must keep our eyes wide and open.

I have read so much fanfic, mostly Baekyeol. I have a lot so I will compile them soon with my favorites. I used to read a lot of angst, but recently my heart cannot take it. 

 

 

Annyeoooooooong!~ ^_^ hi, I'm a new member here and I specially made an account because of this thread teehee

It's always nice to meet new people who share the same interests and such with you.

I hope we could all be good friends and if you could suggest me some fanfics I'd be grateful :D

Please continue to share chanbaek/baekyeol interactions and etc. they make me happy for an unknown reason ))

Let's keep this thread alive <3

Hwaiting!!

Welcome to the thread.   I'm going to compile a list of the baekyeol fanfics I've read. It'll take a while though since I've read so much.

 

I want to know what aspect of their relationship people love the most. I love the playful nature of their relationship. It never ceases to make me smile.

Did I make sense with what I just said? AH, NVM. ChanBaek is ChanBaek. I am not being biased or delulu but if you ask me, they are the most pleasing EXO pairing visually and the chemistry is just akdsjalkdjadjaks. They are just there standing, not doing anything but there is this aura or electricity or tension or whatever you wanna call it that you can feel between them and that's what makes them stand out.

I totally agree with your statement here. I realized that chanbaek do not engage in excessive skin-ship and the likes, yet they're so loved. They can just be standing next to each other, but I'll be spazzing. They have this beautiful chemistry and this sexy tension which amplifies the beauty of each interaction.

I love their subtlety, but I hope they can do some fan service here and there. 

 

Yehet. Gomawo )

To that. Haha :D i love that too, another thing about them is that even though they fight a lot (according to some facts i've read), they always find a way to resolve the problem and make up i also love the fact that their "relationship" or whatnot has undergone (i think) through different stages, i think that they are more mature now

 

Their's really "something" that would make you love their tandem may it be friendship or etc :D <3

I love how you put relationship in quotes because sometimes you don't know what to call them;sometimes just calling them best friends is not enough. I live for their friendly banter and just the friendship, that alone is enough for this ship to be one of the best.

Yes, their relationship has matured and I think its as a result of them maturing individually. And also I think its a natural process in any relationship. This quote really explains what I'm trying to say:

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Bruce Lee

 

 

So talks of fight do not really deter me because it is a catalyst for a strong relationship.

[..............]

>well, the quote puts drama xD haha

Wow, Bruce Lee is a true genius and I could say the same to you

Imagine my surprise when I realized that Bruce Lee said it; I didn't know that he was so deep. Haha I'm flattered . It was your excellent posts that brought about such a response anyway. 

 

 

Hey guysssssss I'm Stale.

I decided to visit this thread because I love BAEKYEOL

They are my original OTP and no matter what ppl say I still ship them and think

they are still BFF. I ship them romantically and as friends 

 

 

 

Welcome. This ship will never sink no matter what others say. They are the best of both worlds; they can be shipped romantically and or as BFFs.

 

 

 

 

My thoughts exactly. They do not have to get involved in too much skinship, they can just stand side by side and that beautiful chemistry and sexy tension (just like how you said) between them is enough to make the people around them feel how perfect they are together. This kind of "tension" and "aura" that they exude is quite rare in K-Pop pairings imo because most couples in the K-Pop scene involve lots and lots of fanservice and skinship. I mean, I'm not being delulu or something but that's what ChanBaek is about: CHEMISTRY. Besides the fact of course that they are the most visually compatible among all the other 65 EXO pairings. 

 

I love how you worded your first paragraph. It perfectly describes our precious duo. â™¡

 

 

 

 

YES! Oh My Goodness! This is exactly how I feel. I became a baekyeol shipper because of that chemistry, not just because of how visually appealing they are together, which they are. The height difference and all that good stuff is just a bonus.

 

I'm guessing that Baekhyun is your ultimate bias since you ship him with mostly everyone. Likewise, Jongup is my ultimate Bias and I ship him with everyone in B.A.P. It's just something that comes with having a ultimate Bias.

[..............]

baekyeol is perf! the true OTP do any of yall have any good baekyeol tumblr blogs to recommend? need more beakyeol on my dash!

From the list of blogs I follow, fybaekyeol, baekyeol, baekyeolfanfics, baekyeol-fics, jingyeolbaeks, let-talk-baekyeol  , eggyeol-loves-baekon, chanyeolismysexualfantasy, baeyeolprompts, thingsbaekyeolwould, and sincerely-baekhyun, to some extent, fill my dash with baekyeol related things. Some of these blogs are not strictly baekyeol, but they're good enough.

 

The best place to find baekyeol things is in the baekyeol tag I've noticed.

[..............]

Well, they can say all they want. People tend to insist that a certain ship already "sank" in order for their ship to be given more attention and stuff. Well, BaekYeol is BaekYeol and we all know where we're at. 

 

Exactly! The undeniable chemistry >>>>>>>>>>>

 

Anyway, yes. Baekhyun is my ultimate bias and I do "ship" him with most of the other members BUT BaekYeol/ChanBaek is different. It will always be different with them. They will always be different and they will always be miles ahead of the other Baek pairings. Like for example, I enjoy BaekSoo and BaekChen's relationships and antics but that's pretty much it. As for BaekYeol, there's this certain unexplainable thing and reason within me that I cannot quite express why they are comfortably sitting on top. Sorry I don't know how to word it but I think you get me, right? 

 

This is a fail post, sorry. orz

I get so annoyed when people insist that a certain ship has died. But it's okay because we know what baekyeol has, and they're missing out on a great ship. 

I understand what you mean. I enjoy all the other ships to some extent; on a superficial level, but Baekyeol has a deeper meaning to me. Probably because it's not an easy ship, but I ship that requires your attention, time, and detective skills. I blame it on the sexy tension.

[..............]

 

Gurrrrrl, you sure know your BaekYeo. HIGH FIVE! 

Now I'm considering making a comeback to tumblr. My thirst for them just never goes out. I keep on asking and craving for more and more and more.

 

Tumblr is where it's at. I also made a twitter account just for searching tweets with Chanbaek or Baekyeol. That's where I get all of my updates. But there's also some whinny fans always crying about how they miss Baekyeol, like they ever left , and some haters. But nothing you can't handle.

[..............]

Hi guys! Another Baekyeol shipper here. It's good to see the thread being more alive lately! Until now I was actually more active in the gay thread since Baekhyun is my bias and he was and is discussed there pretty often, but I'm actually tired of the attitudes of some people over there. People who never tried to looked deeper into Baekyeol, yet they dis the idea of them having feelings for each other so easily. Or post things such as "Baekhyun doesn't pay attention to Chanyeol anymore", or "Chanyeol only interact with Baekhyun for the sake of cameras". I mean, what a load of bs. Sorry, I had to went a little.

 

Anyway, Baekyeol is the OTP for me, and epitome of soulmates. I'm not a person who is a shipper in general (or I wasn't until Exo), and it took me years to feel like I've finally found something special again. To me, the relationship between Baekyeol although sometimes difficult is so genuine and beautiful. I love how subtle they are, and how they can convey so much by looks and body language alone. That's not so common. Like you've said, thy have undeniable chemistry together.

 

 

 

 

Yay you came to this thread  . Welcome. Haha, I had to make a post in that thread also when they started to attack Chanyeol. One thing I've realized is that the people who talk bad about them do not really follow them. Here's my post:

I was thinking to let the talk about Chanyeol slide, but I decided to give my take on it also. Chanyeol and also Baekhyun, to some extent, have the most haters in exo so when you stan them you come across such statements of their "fake personalities" often, much often than one would like. I think much of that conversation stems from the fact that many people do not understand them, and also that they have these unrealistic expectations of their idols.

In exo, these two have the most talkative and outgoing personalities among a group of reserved and or introverted people, which makes their personality much more obvious/apparent. They used their boisterous personalities to engage the audience and to make exok much more interesting on camera. Whether it is laughing loudly or talking a lot, it was to keep the group from having awkward silences since no one else was willing to talk. I guess it can annoy some people if they were not interested in these two and only came for other members.

 

What really drove home the talk of their "fake personalities", was the secretnoona posts and post by "saesangs" and or "ex-trainies" who talked about Chan and Baek being "fake". These posts will always talk about how they are not nice and paint them as having malicious intentions. Posts like that initially can influence your opinion of others. and those who were already annoyed with them used it as validation for their dislike. So whenever they laughed or did anything on camera it will be, "oh look at how hard he's laughing, so fake".

 

It comes down to people not understanding their personalities. Chanyeol is the most misunderstood person in kpop(I think that I'm exaggerating). He is sensitive, and unsure, and caring. He just does not like awkward situations, or situations when no one is talking on camera. He laughs exaggeratedly for entertainment purposes, and also really, that's how he laughs. He is such a sensitive individual and does not want to show himself to people. Can you really fault him for wanting to keep some of himself from camera? I don't know how "laughing exaggeratedly" for entertainment purposes makes someone fake.

 

Same for Baekhyun, even those who profess to paying attention to him do not really understand him. They don't see him looking lost and lonely sometimes, and how Chanyeol is sometimes his pillar.

 

It can't really be helped since most people take things at face value and are easily influenced. Just like they have people who dislike them, they have many more who love them.

I'm really happy that people are coming back tot his thread. 

 

@stale_cereal I am excited for you to post your thoughts. 

 

 

I couldn't help but laugh at that chanyeolismysexualfantasy tag. I already search that for myself but I'll be sure to search it for Chanbaek specific things in future. 

Her blog is not strictly Baekyeol, but she gifs precious Chanbaek moments. I reblog everything she gifs, haha.

[..............]

. 

The Baekyeol thread has seen a flurry of activity lately! :o) :o) :o)

 

 

 

I really enjoyed reading your post about the contradictory double standards that the public has with Baekyeol's personalities. I, (along with other Chanyeol Stans) expressed our thoughts about Chanyeol's happy virus image here. In contrast to your passionate post (passion, which I wish I had more of ) I kind of pussy-footed tip-toed around the subject, because at this point I've resigned myself to a defeatist attitude towards the whole situation. 

 

You hit home with writing about how they engage the audience. Alongside making the group more entertaining, they help showcase a lightheartedness and accessibility to Exo as a group. They may lead the discussions, but they always let each member have their fair go (sometimes with playful, generally harmless teasing). Sometimes highlighting things about members which were probably unique to the fandom at the time (i.e Baekhyun's choices and reasons for most handsome in Weekly Idol).

 

In the end, even if Baekyeol merely serve as a catalyst for reactions-- all of that footage can be used by fans to better understand all the members (even the quiet ones), particularly in variety. Because realistically, who is actually going to be genuinely happy/comfortable/in their element in such a staged situation that is idol life?

 

Becoming/acting introverted is the most natural reaction to this situation. And yes, this feeling is easily related to by the audience=who may view it as 'genuine'. But I personally appreciate that Baekyeol, along with other louder members actively help break down this barrier--to at least give us fans a glimpse into how Exo's entire group dynamic works. Sure, at times it's exaggerated...but doesn't that come from a place of genuine motivation to please or to make the atmosphere happier/less awkward as you said?

 

Mehhhhhh.....*shrugs, gives up and remains defensive fetus position again*

 

 

 

 

I have taken on a resigned stance, I won't say defeated, because people will believe whatever they want to believe. At the end of the day, it's their personal issues and it shouldn't bother baekyeol stans too much

 

Here's some of my favorite Baekyeol pictures and gifs:

 

 

 

I find these gifs so freaking sexy. Baekhyun looks so nice in the second gif, I love that look on him.

 

I love this gif because they look so young in it, and it just warms my heart.

 

 

 

 

 I love Yeol's gaze here.I like this picture for many reasons. HANDS

 

This picture has a very special place in my heart

Love this and every single gif and pic from Idol  Olympics. Playful

 

This makes me happy 

I'm getting carried away. I should stop this soon. 

 

 

This is the last ones I promise

one more

Seeing them looking so serious invokes some weird happy feelings in me. 

To be continued...

Disclaimer: None of these gifs and photos are mine, they are used just for entertainment purposes.

 

 

 

For those who don't know, you can find many chanbaek gifs and photos here: http://huati.weibo.com/45831?type=mining&filter=mining. I think you will be prompted to make an account, but it is really simple. Just use google translate or any other translating tool for navigating the website. This site is really awesome because the chinese fandom has gifs and photos that the international fandom does not have. 

[..............]

Chanyeol's mom is really cool and so laid back. She knows that people are shipping her son with his closest friend, yet she's so calm about it. Probably she doesn't understand the extent to which they are shipped, like the smut fanfics and all the jazz. I'm not really surprised at the news because she has chanbaek pictures in her restaurant. I think she even has that iconic baekyeol incident at smtown oh her wall collage. I'll find those pics. She's an interesting woman though.

I love it. I was spazzing early in the morning, but I needed to sleep. So much feels!!!!! I am so excited for this comeback because I want more of this. I need more of this. And the way they were laughing is so contagious. I'm so happy right now.

[..............]

Awww, I love that Chanyeol's family likes Baekhyun. It makes shipping them together even sweeter. Yoora called Baekhyun one of her favorite people.    

 

 

Edit: Never mind this is not her. Seriously, you don't even know who to trust.

Yep. I saw that (I was so happy btw) so I decided to edit my post. Haha :D

Mybad )

Nah it's okay. It's not even much. I guess we were so starved that any tiny moment is so cute to us. 

[..............]

Yes, I think I remember Chanyeol saying those. I love the one where it says Baekhyun's moaning is Chanyeol's cue to sleep. God. 

 

 

They held hands at the end. Am I right? Am I really seeing this? GET READY EVERYONE. Ship is sailing! 

Where Where?? I don't see it.

[..............]

Has anyone posted this?? 

 

Chanyeol commented on Baek's IG update.

 

I"m spazzing right now. I am so ready for the Chanbaek.

 

----------

Guys, since it is awards picture change this season, does anyone want to change the BAekyeol Badge? I really dislike the badge with so much passion and I wonder if anyone feels the same.

[..............]

Are we even sure about this? I posted in on my blog and some anon pointed out to me that it's rcal_pcy and nor real_pcy...

 

 

 

I love this photo too. Although it's photoshoped.

 

Sorry to be a party pooper guys, but I would rather know the truth than believe in something that is not real.

Seriously, I don't even know what to believe in this fandom anymore. There are so many trolls.

 

----------------

I love these photos:   

 

 

 

edit: There are so many photos circulating in the fandom that sometimes one does not know what is real or photoshopped. We don't want to believe in what isn't "real".

Edited May 9, 2014 by jongup_leejoon

[..............]

Nah, it wasn't your fault baby. Our fandom is just abundant with trolls. If I saw it, even though it may seem fake, I'd still immediately post it here. 

DIscussions are still the best so it would really be a nice topic tbh. 

 

 

I love them too! Have we found our new badge photo? 

Anyway, post away, jongup_leejoon! Hurry up 'til you reach 100 so you can request! 

Yes. I'm gonna start posting everywhere. I want to get this badge so badly.

[..............]

Hey guys, I sought help from Yen (THANK YOU BBâ¤) so that we can have a preview on how that picture might look like once it becomes an official badge,

 

Here's what it looks like:

 

 

It looks great! My only comment would be the lighting tho. I think we had the edited/tumblr version already so let's try to search for the original photo.

God, I'm excited for this new badge photo thingy.  

I really like the second one. Follow this link to original photo: http://fybaekyeol.tumblr.com/tagged/gq-magazine 

This picture is really perfect because it really captures the essence of chanbaek, well at least the playful side.

[..............]

Is this real? I think that it is. it says 140510 on fybaekyeol, so I'll just post it.

 

[..............]

What is with the influx of Baekyeol moments; I don't know how to deal.

I love it when they talk about each other.
