hey hi! you mention f1 in your intro, favourite driver/teams? :)

-☆

OH MY GOD HELLO ANON!!! I NEVER get the chance to talk about f1 (yall following me for my current hyperfixation brief detour😭) ok SO I'm basic in the sense I love all the big names (Charles is so dear to my heart I wish that man ALL the best) I have beef with the entirety of the FIA n they should KNOW it god they handle their drivers so unfairly!! (so many of Max's penaltys are a JOKE!! even if u don't fw max they did him SO dirty!!) Daniel Ricardo was probably one of my FAVORITE racers I was SO sad to see him go😭 as far as TEAMS I don't have as many opinions on them as the racers themselves!!

Knitting a freehand bag and started wondering how often people even use patterns, anyway. So--how often do you use a pattern when you make things ? This include knitting/crochet/sewing/weaving/nalbinding/bobbin lace/tatting/etc but also things like woodworking, cooking, and baking. If you want to just pick the thing you do most often that's fine.

I personally do not use patterns as I find them far more confusing than just figuring out the construction of an item and simply making it. I do very occasionally browse ravelry for inspiration but have downloaded maybe 2. In the 5 or so years since I joined. And have followed exactly 1, which I modified every single aspect of. In my defense, dyslexia.

My personal 9/11 of the state of sharks rpf (incl. of fic posts narrativitzation everything etc) is that every time i see anythi f about paternal relationships its almost always macklin when EYE think klim kostin has way more interesting media uotes about his father except most of the meat is in russian articles so you gotta google translate them. Rick being a public figure and his son being a 1oa pick making them more famous than this ex highly ranked prospect that stopped being highly ranked like half a decade ago is my downfall

I'm looking for anyone sharing their experiences learning Chinese using comprehensible input and how many hours, what their progress was, what they learned to understand and say etc.

There was a guy Kevin who watched 2000 hours of cdramas, and before that did FSI Chinese and simple podcasts and... frankly he did not have much success. His comprehension after 2000 hours is worse than mine (after at most ~1000 hours study or reading, ~700 hours comprehensible input if we count shows I watched and more comprehensible stuff). His comprehension and speaking is worse than most people I've talked to and learners I've seen who are intermediate... maybe he's just not paying attention? That's all I can think. Like that he was maybe literally tuning out verbally what was being said and mostly only paying attention to visuals. Sort of like how when English speakers watch a show with english subtitles they just tune out most of the verbal language. Maybe he just tuned out the verbal language a lot of the time? Because his results were really bad... and then he moved blogs, and the newer blog doesn't exist. Despite the fact he did use FSI Chinese, took a beginner class, and watched Peppa Pig, so he should have had somewhat of a base to understand daily life modern cdramas and everyday language in everyday scenes... I would've expected some improvement in that area of understanding at a decent rate. Maybe he only watched old palace dramas??? Anyway I can't find his new blog as existing. So I can't determine if he ever had success... also the guy did not prioritize "comprehensible" input... he said at first he understood like 5% and just kept watching... (and again! Based on his beginner chinese knowledge from prior sources he should have understood at least 25% of a modern romance daily life drama! Unless he was only using dramas not set in the present???)

Truly I do not know how a person can make so little progress unless they're tuning out. Any traditional study learner I've seen has made more progress, any traditional study as a beginner (with the amount of experience he had) who then switched to reading and watching cdramas (and looking up words once in a while) made more progress! Progress I expected him to be able to make. (Any Refold japanese learner who only did anki for the basics, then immersed a lot, pretty much did what he did as they also had basics beforehand, and there's multiple successful Refold learners who rarely used anki past the beginner stage and rarely looked up words...)

The only other people I've seen use comprehensible input... one is on r/dreaminglanguages and he's only done 150 hours so far, that hes given an update on. He's making good progress though! Very similar progress to thai AUA and ALG students. But I'm now farther than him so I am on a road untravelled wishing to compare what I'm doing to someone who's already done it.

Pablo from Dreaming Spanish is studying Mandarin with comprehensible input. I found this video he shared. But I don't know spanish. So Im holding onto cognates with french and english and seeing how well his progress is going:

I'm trying to figure out how many hours hes studied so far, and what progress he's made in terms of things he can understand.

Anyway please send me links if you know of anyone who got farther!

it shouldnt ever be a question why someone blocks you. they dont like your opinions lol

Does the fact that DP now has an official canon continuation affect you while working on the comic

Like does the new canon stuff influence your own vision or has your vision for your reboot remained the same since you started?

Sorry it's taken so long to answer so I'll match with a long answer and update in my process, I'm so sorry lol

But no, an official canon continuation will not stop me from making the comic. And while I do own the new comic and plan on getting all the future official DP merch I can get my hands on, it wont effect my story in the slightest because I haven't read it. Plus I've already written my story and I'm very happy with it. I will someday read the new comic but not anytime soon, I'm just so happy it exists and that it's in my hands either way.

What might stop me (for a little bit at least) is a full on rebooted series, not a continuation/revival because the fandom has been around so long and we've all influenced each other in big or little ways. And since we're all playing in the same sandbox there's naturally some overlap. But this started as a pitch bible/proof of concept for a full on reboot of my own and if there's an active reboot airing I'd be very sad it wasn't mine (so silly I know lol but it's true).

What has stopped me is the a back and forth issue I have on the comic in general. I have found a style of comic I enjoy making, but I have gotten in my own head about it being stiff and bad. I know practice make progress and I'm getting more confident about it and also considering making it into a fic with art and slowly adapting it into a comic just so I can have some thing to post and put out there. But my iPad is dying and outside of sketches on paper I haven't been able to write or draw to the extent I'd like. I've been saving for a new one for a while now and about half way there but life happens and it takes a toll on my savings. So I'm trying to decide what's the best way to proceed and I have a lot of options and that's also a little overwhelming, which sounds silly typing out. But it's easy for me to feel guilt every time I try to commit to one game plan because all my best options rely on me getting a new iPad
