You've poated Jade corn ornaments twice now (maybe more, and I've missed it). Why are they a thing? They seem to be really well done, and I had always viewed Jade as being a gem with cultural significance.

　

During the Ming and Qing dynasties in China it was popular to carve jade into vegetable- or fruit-shaped ornaments, the most famous artwork being the 翠玉白菜Jadeite Cabbage and 东坡���形石Dongpo Meat-shaped Stone, 白菜baicai/cabbage is a common carving subject because of its resonance with '菜cài=财cái=wealth' in the Chinese context. Chinese call these ornaments 文玩wenwan in general, meaning fine collectible traditional handicrafts, especially suitable for playing and appreciating in the hand. I feel like the contemporary jade or other gemstone ornaments continues this tradition with further innovation. Young people prefer ornaments made in richer mineral materials and brighter colors (light colors are more popular), and the themes are also diverse, not limited to traditional ones. I guess in young peoples' aesthetic, the jade corn is lovely in shape and roasted corn is a popular street food in china. Other contemporary pieces that young people like to collect include various other shapes, such as jade rabbits, 貔貅pixiu(mythical creature that brings fortune and wards off evil), 龙long(chinese dragon),  calabash, grape, fish, butterfly, crabs, flowers, guanyin, metteyya, the twelve shengxiao, and so on, some more traditional, some more contemporary. It's quite fun.

In addition, the Chinese believe that 玉yù/jade is spiritual(the Chinese word 玉yù actually refers to more than just jade, it can refer to jade-like stones in general but let's put it this way), so the Chinese have the habit of "nurturing jade", meaning that if you wear and play with your jade jewellery/ornaments by hand for a long time (the act of playing with it is called "盘pán"), it will become smoother and accumulate more lustre, bringing you a good energy field in daily life, thus you will have more luck. The Chinese also consider that if the jade ornament has been 开光kāi guāng (blessed by eminent 道士daoshi/daoist priest or blessed by eminent bhiksu or bhikkhunī/buddhist monks or nuns, usually with ceremonial process of chantting/intoning incantations), they will also help to protect you from mishaps and even disasters. Many Chinese women have the habit of wearing jade bracelets or red string weaved jade ornaments (jade bracelets are the type of smooth circular or beads bracelets).

翠玉白菜Jadeite Cabbage and 东坡肉形石Dongpo Meat-shaped Stone are as follows.

favorite fics for mlb? any ship :> (if u have the time to compile some recs, tysm)

FINE here’s a few. I’m reccing a few things that made me feel crazy when I read them. You’ve finally worn me down….. don’t get mad if uve already read them okay :(

a waste of good bed sheets by icingsugar

in this one, ladynoir are fwb but in that VERY careful way where ladybug gets hyper aware when he touches her outside of bed and it makes her flinch and it makes him Stop and one day when she realizes she IS MADLY IN LOVE WITH HIM and wants to kiss him all the time and hug him a lot. He doesn’t believe her. killed me. sorry for describing it in such a spoilery way but I didn’t say I was a GOOD fic reccer

what’s written in the stars by agrestenoir

i’ve never read the time traveler’s wife. this is based on that book and it’s epic!! i love jumping back and forth between like. timelines…? it’s very cool and epic to me. like some cursed soulmates link where it feels like they can never REALLY be together but also they are Dot Dot Dot

Eating (nothing but) Affection by crownedcrusader

eating disorder tw!! but ya this is about attention eating. kitty can’t eat unless someone’s watching… it was just so :((((( but also so cute. ladybug giving chat stuff to eat bc she’s so worried about him but not realizing that he needed HER TO BE THERE to eat killed me

supercut by LNC

ok ik it’s prob crazy and stupid to rec a fic that’s like got a gazillion kudos already. also i think this is post reveal? i genuinely am not sure. every time I reread this i get some sort of amnesia after where i just cannot tell u exactly what it’s about just that i go WOOOOOO!!! YIPPEEEEEE!!!! once im done. and since ur coming to ME out of all people for fic recs (YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN IM JUST LIKE REALLY BAD AT THIS I WILL TRY AND GET BETTER FOR U GUYS THO) im gonna have to assume ur some virgin to this fandom and instead of going to the hot fandom chads with experience u come knocking on the door of someone who’s had sex once. ok terrible analogy also im really sorry for saying anything im saying in conjunction to a really good one shot

comfort food by Reiaji

marinette teaches adrien how to cook and gives him chinese food and baked goods to try!! Reiaji is i think very evidently awesome and most people know that but this meant a lot to me as a chinese person :) also i will admit i have SLIGHT beef w what marinette cooked for her simple dinner. i get that it was simple but i just think dougan and baicai (bokchoy) is a bit mid. SORRY ik it’s not the point. egg drop soup and egg tarts are epic tho.

OKIE that’s it for today!! i have more but i will save those for when i get more fic rec requests. thank u anon for trusting my fic taste buds 🩷

@meihuasmight asked :

Do any of your muses have a special nickname you give them in your head?

What are J.GY's favorite things to do?

:3 (for the question meme) - send me questions about my character (accepting, pls specify <3)

Oh my god, so many. It's like a unique christening for my muse to gain a nickname in my head. Some of it is just the canon nickname (Xiao Jiu for F.eng J.iu!!!!!!!!!!!!! A-Yu for X.ue Y.u!!!) or the popular chinese fandom variant which is usually a homonym or a meme (86 for B.ai L.iu, Er Jie Jie (lmao) for C.hengze, Cabbage for B.ai C.houfei (Da Baicai...the funniest name I done heard in a drama in YEARS), Yaomei for A-Yao, Fafa and Lian Lian for H.ualian, etc. etc.) but sometimes it's just what's fun to say in mandarin haha (my ocs esp have this. jin si is the obvious "jin si que" or canary, tang tang is "tang tang xiao gu liang~" or 糖糖小姑凉~ which is 5 whole words, not a proper noun, and not at all shortened but????? and xueqing is "xue bao" which is coincidentally the chinese name of...............................o.laf the snowman).

A-Yao likes to read, quite a bit. He reads extensively and in many genres, but he just...never gets the time to properly curl up with a book. Cleaning and other house chores is a relaxing activity for him when he chooses to do it. If he's particularly stressed sometimes he will Deep Clean (tm) if he has the time. I think he does rather enjoy and dabble in the entertainment arts (tm) (music and dancing) as well, but for the obvious reasons they are kind of tainted for him. But this is the whole reason I have a ballet verse for him, so it deserves a mention 😂I think he also enjoys messing with the ancient arts (tm) of perfumery and spices, which back then would have intersected a little with medicine and herbology, probably dabbled a tiny bit in architecture, and is also a decently strong interior designer. Anyway, he also enjoys playing chess, especially if the opponent is someone he wants to get to know. He also enjoys maths (i'm already saying 'ick' in my own head, sorry yao yao).. He definitely...doesn't like to be anything but occupied, honestly.

Located in the historic centre of #Shenyang, an expansive metropolis in northeastern China, LOVIVO Gallery stands out against the age-old environs thanks to its futuristic, high tech-inflected interior design. Commissioned by a technology company to design a gallery space and employee lounge within their office building, Shenyang-based architecture practice BAICAI Design have drawn inspiration from the paradigm shifting potential that high-tech companies promise to create a series of spaces that defy expectations. Combining the idea of the matrix with the concepts of infinity, weightlessness and ambiguity, the architects have dematerialised the spatial experience urging visitors to explore the premises and by extension think about the infinite possibilities that the future holds.
