★ — selfship kisses : an ask meme.
inspired by these two memes + a meme i saw on twitter! there are two ways to go about this specific ask meme: send me a number + a f/o (orr just a number if you prefer) and i'll create something based on the prompt, OR send me a f/o and i'll use a random number generator to randomize a prompt for them! either way, this ask meme is intended to encourage creativity in the form of art and writing. please practice reblog karma & feel free to tag me, the creator, in whatever you make!!

Bad FSYY English translation
The four-volume Library of Chinese Classics bilingual edition of Creation/Investiture of the Gods (Fengshen yanyi, c. 1620) published in 2000 is the only full-length translation of the story available in English. I've had a PDF of the entire set archived on my external blog since May of 2020. It is serviceable for the general reader, but it is not great for hobbyist researchers like myself.
I'd like to provide an example showing how it is not very accurate and/or comprehensive. Chapter 12 describes how young Nezha inadvertently causes havoc in the underwater realm when washing himself in a river with a powerful magic sash. This eventually leads to Li Gen (李艮), a yaksha water-spirit soldier, to attack him with an ax. Gu Zhizhong's (2000) translation reads:
Nezha, naked and empty-handed, dodged the vicious blow, raised his Universal Ring and struck Li Gen on the head. How could the Yaksha withstand the magic weapon from Fairy Primordial! His skull broke open and he fell dead on the river bank (Gu, 2000, vol. 1, p. 239).
However, the full Chinese reads:
Standing there naked, Nezha dodged the advancing warrior's attack and upraised the Universal Ring in his right hand. This treasure was originally bestowed by the Jade Emptiness Palace of Mt. Kunlun to the Perfected Man of the Grand Monad to secure the items of his Golden Light Cave. How could the yaksha withstand the magic weapon as it struck downward on his head? His brains exploded from the blow, and he fell dead on the shore. 哪吒正赤身站立,見夜叉來得勇猛,將身躲過,把右手套的乾坤圈望空中一舉。此寶原係崑崙山玉虛宮所賜太乙真人鎮金光洞之物,夜叉那裏經得起,那寶打將下來,正落��夜叉頭上,只打的腦漿迸流,即死於岸上。 (I don't consider myself a translator, so please forgive any errors.)
You can see that quite a bit of information was left out. This happens throughout the entire novel. This makes me angrier the more that I think about. Why even bother to translate something if you are only going to paraphrase or even skip over passages? It seems like a pointless enterprise.

Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (09/18/2023)
Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.
Overall:

Best character surnamed: Ji
Come and vote for the best characters with the same surname!*
What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!
*note, the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often there will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.
Propaganda is very welcome! If I’ve forgotten anyone, let me know in the notes.
This is part of a larger series of ‘best character with X surname’ polls’. The overview with ongoing polls, winners, and future polls can be found here

"Who can say if I've been changed for the better?"
(The first and second drawings show off more of their designs + chibi full body references since the initial full body refs I had were back when they were still Puyo OCs before deciding to make them their own thing instead.
Meanwhile, the third picture is in reference to Lotus and Maple drifting apart from each other, featuring their timeskip designs in the bottom row.)
More design/character notes:
Both Lotus and Maple’s hairstyles (mostly their bangs and upper hair spikes) are based on their respective plants (the lotus and the maple leaf), just upside down and exaggerated.
The timeskip design for Maple is very similar to his previous design with only a few adjustments (and a longer cloak that’s not shown here), since he’s the one still clinging onto the past, unlike Lotus. (It’s like watching your childhood best friend slowly gravitate towards other friend groups as time passes, while you stay the same.) This is ironic to the symbolism of the maple leaf, representing “change”, but it’s also known as a symbol for loyalty and strength/protection.
The gold flower symbols on Lotus have more detail to it since they’re the child of Wally (who’s in charge of the town they live in).
Lotus specializes in all elements of magic but prefers sticking to earth and water magic the most. Maple specializes in wind and fire magic but prefers not using it because he lives in a very flammable area and would rather not risk it (hence his sword).
( Anyways, this is for the OC brackets, run by @original-character-championship )
