well i've caught up on the double. which means i am depressed!!!! at least [redacted]'s death scene was homoerotic. (me fully weeping: at least this is being directly paralleled with a het lovers death scene. at least [other stuff i am redacting for spoilers but just trust me bro].) anyway to pass the time until 29 drops does anyone want to help me with a reference post i'm writing about the names of jiang li's family members? let's play a game called Name That Hanzi! wherein i give you an image of some hanzi and you give me text versions that i can copy and paste. i did my best but i hit a wall on this one. here's the image:
[ID: Screencap of Jiang Li from The Double showing her title card with her two names, Jiang Ruoyu and Jiang Li. The names are also displayed in hanzi. /end ID]
so far i've got 姜若雨 for jiang ruoyu on the left, but i'm not confident about those second and third characters (like those strokes are not even all in the right direction. but maybe it's the script?). and on the right we have 字 (zi, courtesy name), SOME CHARACTER THAT HAS STYMIED ME (help me studio audience), and 梨 (li).
(also sidenote is it just me who totally missed that she has a courtesy name? and that apparently it's li that is her courtesy name, and it's the other name, ruoyo, that no one ever uses? also sidenote of the sidenote the ruo character is the same one in her sister ruoyao's name. so maybe they have a generational name? their dad and his brothers all share a character as well (yuan, 元). their little brother bingji doesn't have ruo in his name though. so maybe not.)
#if viki had learn mode on for the double i would be unstoppable. UNSTOPPABLE#but i'm back to my old methods of like. brute force looking up radicals until i find one that looks kind of similar#i have [checks notes] 19 other questions i need to answer before this reference post will be complete but unfortunately#none of the others lend themselves well to Name That Hanzi so i don't know if it would be effective to ask for help with them#maybe if i can find a shot of someone saying whatever jiang yuanbai's court official title is i can find the chinese subs for it#and play name that hanzi. but also usually if i can find the chinese subs i can figure it out myself. it's just a question of finding#a timestamp and then actually having access to chinese subs for that episode. which so far i only know how to find for#episodes 1-3. so those are my two problems at the moment. not having timestamps or chinese subs#i could solve the timestamp problem if i did a rewatch lol but who has the time??? (pun unintended)#i might rewatch the first like 4 or 5 episodes though. because redacted's death was so depressing. i need a chaser#not that episodes 1-5 aren't also depressing. ugh. probably a bad plan then lol#the double#my posts
