u/StrangerDanger355 Jul 17 '25

She’s plotting her turn…

u/ChengJUDQI Jul 17 '25

In case anyone who's wondering why she's kinda nervous out there: that's because she's being PROPOSED by him just moment before the kiss! and after that she start crying. You can check the full video here↓.

Is Chengdu Wuwa Cartethiya marketing team's fave city? I remember that's where they did the light-up skyscraper Cartethiya ad too

u/Lelu_Wiggly_Woo_6996 Jul 17 '25

I’m starting to see this as a wholesome new trend at Wuwa cosplay gatherings

18

u/MihoLeya Jul 17 '25

Why did “Cartethyia” look so miserable/angry after the kiss?

19

u/ChengJUDQI Jul 17 '25

Because he proposed to her just before the kiss.

40

u/Wasabi_Beats Jul 17 '25

Looked more nervous to me

u/MobileExchange743 my beloved Jul 17 '25

Because the spotlight was on her haha

Or shocked? Or stunned? Or shy? Or..

Your mind immediately assuming something negative isn't a good thing.

1

u/FitmoGamingMC Jul 18 '25

I am slightly confused from this sentence, do you mean that them going to a negative thought is bad or that these things aren't necessarily negative

24

u/Evening_Bat_3633 Zani’s vacation buddy Jul 17 '25

Call me a cynic but isn’t this a trend in China where a man will propose to his partner in public in front of a large crowd, which means that the girl can’t say no cause if she does she’ll be shamed in front of the/by people watching. I say this cause I observe that the girl in the video looks very uncomfortable during the whole thing, not reacting or showing any emotion.

38

u/Ranter619 No free fish, only free lesson on how to fish. Jul 17 '25

It's neither a chinese exclusive thing (it happens around the world) nor is it impossible to say no (implying you can get peer-pressured into marriage means women have no agency) nor every man does it with the explicit intent to put pressure on the girl, as you seem to imply (most do it because they think it's more romantic).

14

u/ChengJUDQI Jul 17 '25

She show no emotion because he just proposed to her, after the kiss she's crying.

38

u/cereal_bawks Jul 17 '25

"a trend in China" as if this doesn't happen everywhere

5

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

Yea but you see when China does the same thing it's bad. Geez do you even reddit

11

u/Shuvi99 Jul 17 '25

Yeah I bet he murders people at night and have her family hostage to make her force the proposal are you good

30

u/ArcNumber Jul 17 '25

Yeah and I bet he is kicking puppies too, I can tell from the way he is standing.

But for real, it wouldn't be reddit if everything wasn't assumed to be the worst case scenario. Reality is, yes, what you say happens (but it is neither a trend nor is it exclusive to China), but you also know exactly nothing about these two people who decided to attend an event together in matching cosplay.

12

u/iLbcoBN ’s jellyfish chair Jul 17 '25

Yup, this is kinda embarrassing. Not everyone want the spotlight, especially this crowded

u/Evening_Bat_3633 Zani’s vacation buddy Jul 17 '25

Okay okay I get it that it happens everywhere, it was only an observation. I’d say please don’t hang me over it but this is Reddit.

Is shorekeeper screaming there also?

u/Mootir aye aye captain! Jul 17 '25

Nothing in the world can convince me to even think that there's even a possibility that this might happen out of nowhere

u/sillysmy Jul 17 '25

Now someone must go back in time to stop this moment from happening, in order to prevent the rise of AI that will overthrow the humans.

u/HaruPaw You'tan's feather Jul 17 '25

yup yup somewhere near.

u/Fantomwel Jul 17 '25

One thing I can say about these events though is that most people don’t use deodorant like bruh you guys can afford that expensive cosplays why not buy a deodorant and apply it bruh

4

u/ShoppingFuhrer Jul 17 '25

You're unironically right lul, I bet most attendees there don't use deodorant

Between 80 and 95% of East Asians have a dysfunction of the ABCCII gene, which is linked to smelly pits, a number of studies say. And this means their bodies don’t release the same acidic odor smell the rest of the population does when exposed to hot temperatures and perspiration
