歌红人不红啊哥

every time i hear 姜sir act i'm immediately floored by how much RANGE one man can have with his voice alone

wdym we could've had high ponytail!lwj????

来人满身如练的月光 [...] 眼睛的颜色非常浅淡，仿若琉璃，让他的目光显得过于冷漠 / [lan wangji] is mantled in silken moonlight [...] the colour of his eyes is remarkably pale, like green beryls that glow golden in the light, making his gaze appear particularly cold 😭 how do u even compete w a guy that's described like this omg

hopefully i actually finish it this time lol

not the end of the cutsleeve story being a "jesting judgement" on why anal sex is wrong lmfaoo

yin shidan would die in the first three minutes of a horror movie

poor man’s really out here playing peekaboo with a CORPSE

oh boo he elides the variety of alternative names in his translation :((

好美丽的精神状态 “On many occasions, under the influence of wine, Liu Ling would be completely free and unrestrained, sometimes even removing his clothes and sitting stark naked in the middle of his room. Some people once saw him in this state and chided him for it. Ling retorted, ‘Heaven and earth are my pillars and roof, the rooms of my house are my jacket and trousers. What are you gentlemen doing in my trousers?’”

finally doing my assigned reading for once

“Dying in defense of [loyalty, freedom, honesty, hope, and love] is not a failure, but an expression of a life lived to the fullest. It is the affirmation that these virtues are so powerful, so important, that they insist on showing themselves even in (or perhaps especially) in an individual’s last moments.”

i need everyone who's not read the revised edition yet to go read the new gambling den scene so you understand why xie lian telling hua cheng "i have died beneath a flower*, but my heart is yet filled with its fragrance" just about KILLED ME

* ofc the grammar makes "i have died beneath hua [cheng]" possible too for those 头脑黄黄 ones out there lmfao

i'm so mf glad jjwxc added the para by para commenting feature now bc that means i get to see everyone lose their MINDS when xie lian says he wants hua cheng to "be with [him] for the night" if he wins their bet LMFAOOOO

if the revised edition is ever translated to english, i think 芳心 fangxin should be translated to "maidenheart" so that the joke in how hua cheng is gambling for the maidenheart sword that once belonged to xie lian is actually made clear lmfao 😂 别赌啦城主，他的芳心早就是你的了 (quit gambling, his maiden's heart has been yours for a long time)

"in a sense, then, the lord of the rings works like an ars moriendi—a guide to the art of dying well."

the way mxtx had to change 我不举 / i can't get it up to 我不行 / i'm unfit [for this activity] bc of censorship 😭

ooh i like this robot lore

how has it been centuries since robots were last seen by humanity and yet the language they use is exactly the same? are you seriously trying to tell me that the language they use (which is somehow the same across the entire continent) hasn't changed at all despite entire centuries having passed?

"Fifty percent of Panga’s single continent was designated for human use; the rest was left to nature, and the ocean was barely touched at all." this is so unrealistic i'm sorry WHAT.

"tea service wasn't anything arcane." chambers has clearly never heard anyone argue about which specific mineral springs in various specific regions from which they should draw water to brew tea to truly enhance the flavour lol

xie lian to his father-figure, the emperor of the heavens, the highest-ranked martial deity: i most certainly did not have any improper relations with the scourge of the heavens :D

(yes the innuendo is right there even in chinese xie lian WHY)

look if you didn't want to translate 机器猫 as doraemon did you HAVE to use "stuffed animals" instead

hang on how did 舞着拂尘 get translated as "swung dirt around in the air". it's a horsetail whisk, you know, that thing daoist priests are always carrying around in dramas?

finished the banyue arc! sort of. much to my disappointment, the racism is in fact just as bad in the novel as in the donghua 💀 also the way the chapters are split in the webnovel makes no sense? thank the gods i bought the paperback copy

so... is saying "the scenery's not half-bad" in a pit of ghost soldiers you single-handedly killed the new "the moon looks beautiful tonight"?

look i love the audiodrama with all my heart and 太康老师 (<33) does an incredible job but truly you do not get the full effect of hua cheng's whole "oh i got caught in a tornado? just an average tuesday. but hey gege's here :D" vibe until you read the novel

the real reason mxtx made hua cheng's colour scheme red/black/silver is because green would've made the 🍵 jokes too obvious
