#i can DO it

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

The phrase 'Someone ought to do something' was not, by itself, a helpful one. People who used it never added the rider 'and that someone is me'.

Newest Danmei Titles Licensed for EN from Haitang

Not sure if everyone heard the news yet but there is a new publisher Haitang in the US — they're the US branch of their chinese branch Cherry Apple, and Cherry Apple has been around for more than 5 years and licensed and printed plenty of simplfied CN danmei novels. Cherry Apple JUST announced its closure after they've cleared all the printing of their current on-hand licenses and they're known for their amazing covers.

So while Haitang (US) hasn't announced a PO, they've definitely got the expertise in the printing side of things. Everyone's pretty excited for their covers, because Cherry Apple had it down pat like no one else did.

The translators they've announced for their officially announced releases have been fan translating pretty long, and judging from their follow list some of the translators you currently know may also be on the roster.

Currently Officially Announced Titles:

嫁魔 Jiamo | Marrying a Demon (Translated by Lianyin, who was and is on Rose and Renaissance [VL], Nan Chan [Rosmei], QJJ [7S], Imperial Uncle [PFH] translations - highlighting cuz she's a friend LOL please support hahahaha)

魔尊也想知道 | Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

网恋翻车指南 | Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating

Other Titles They Have (Confirmed - Taken from their website before it was hidden, they're still updating the website before releasing, presumably when first PO is ready to go):

Also adding some of the cover previews they had on their site before it was hidden:

某某 Moumou | A Certain Someone

我行让我来 | ICDI - I Can Do It

薄雾(无限) | Mist Unlimited

不要在垃圾桶里捡男朋友 | Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin

从万米高空降临 | The Approach

浅蓝系列 | The Blue Dust Trilogy

[EDIT] NEW ONES JUST ANNOUNCED JAN. 11:

欲言难止 Boundless Utterance

五殿下还在受骗 His Highness the 5th Prince is Still Being Deceived

They're announcing every Saturday I believe - they'll be using their own distributor in the US to ship within US (open to Amazon etc. but primarily using own distributor for now) and working with distributors (seemingly the same ones as Rosmei so far) to get them to other regions, with more to be announced as weeks go.

You can follow them on their X/Twitter.

...why does this always happen to me?

i am so normal and can totally be trusted with drawing two fire emblem women in love

[taylortruther]

i can do it with a broken heart - i’m yours to keep and took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer and stood on the cliffside screaming, “give me a reason” and now i’m right down in it, all the years i’ve given is just shit we’re dividin’ up and our coming-of-age has come and gone and i had a marvelous time, i'd do it over and over and over again if i could and it was the end of a decade but the start of an age and i never wanna see you walk away, i’m still trying everything to get you looking at me and i shine so bright and is it enough?

I claw my way out of my lurker corner once more because I am obsessed with the whole “Don’t go running off with any Pirates or Smugglers while you’re gone” line.

This has to be foreshadowing.

Pleeeaaase let it be foreshadowing the appearance of one Hondo Ohnaka.

The shenanigans these two have the potential to unleash.

IMAGINE HONDO TRYING TO GIVE TECH DATING/LOVE ADVICE FOR PHEE??

Just, completely unprompted:

“What has you so down, my friend?”

“Other than the majority of my family believing me to be dead, and the fact that the fate of my missing brother is still unknown and he is likely trapped in a lab somewhere?”

“Ah, yes, other than that.”

“…Someone asked me to avoid running off with any other pirates or smugglers while I was gone - I am concerned this may disappoint her.”

“*Her*?” Intrigued noises “Difficulties of a love nature! Aha, for this let me provide some advice!”

“I would not call it-“

“Yes, yes, yes, but whatever you call it, there is affection there, no?”

Shenanigans ensue

I want all of the shenanigans

I feel like Tech would end up a little annoyed with Hondo but only because it’d be like looking into a more overtly chaotic version of himself, and then they’d get along in a way that feeds chaos into chaos and causes everyone around them the ultimate sort of concerned confusion.

Hunter & Echo: “I feel like we should separate them for the sake of our own sanities.”

Wrecker revels in the chaos.

Omega instigates more of it.

Crosshair snags some Mantell Mix and sits back for some decent entertainment that he’ll likely never admit to missing.

Phee knowing that this was both the best and worst possible pirate for him to run into for various reasons, and absolutely ribbing him for running off with another pirate/smuggler but “better late than dead” and their extroverted flirting/introverted intrigue can resume its sweet, sweet slow burn that lasts the majority of the season because Tech is coming back in the first few episodes but only after we get the glorious Phee backstory and badassery that should precede (and also continue after) this return.

My hopes for Season Three are so high.

Please. I am hoping!!

wip wednesday

releasing a snippet of the pynch zombie apocalypse au to try and hold myself accountable to actually finish it. (fun fact: i have tried this before and it did not work)

Adam glanced over to Ronan, asleep by the fire. He watched as the light flickered across Ronan’s face, the shadows dancing, and just for a second considered waking him. It seemed impossible to miss someone who slept mere inches away from you, but here was the proof with Adam’s heart caught in it like a vice. He didn’t wake Ronan, but in the quiet of the dawn, he thought that maybe he loved him.

remember when i thought i was going to finish this in time for last halloween? lmao. but maybe this one! the spirit is willing, the brain just needs a good talking to.

Getting a shitty grade after you studied 5 weeks isn't exactly what I expected but no panic, I'll take it again. ( Ofc I have done a little cry already)
