[paraintheworld]

Mandopop is neat

[mxystan]

recently revamped my "galaxy wangxian brainlist" all the way back from 2019. it's mostly mandopop. see below for annotations with references to specific lines from the novel, color coded for your convenience, because i truly went insane that summer

被遺忘的時光 - 蔡琴 (cover by sodagreen)

"Emperor's Smile! Hey, how about I give you a jar, and you pretend like you never saw me?"

Who is it knocking at my window? Who is it plucking at my strings?

梅西好朋友 – Crowd Lu

"Lan Zhan, let me ask you this: you really do find me vexing, don't you?"

And if we could become friends by the end of the week Like, the best of friends- Then we'll make sure the apocalypse never comes 'Cause it can't until I've taken you out to play!

Neptune - Sleeping at Last

"Wei Ying: you really are a vexing person."

I'm only honest when it rains  An open book, with a torn out page  And my inks run out  I wanna love you but I don't know how

羨雲 - HITA

"You don't know how to say it? Fine, then how about this. If you can't say it, then can you sing? Sing a song for me, alright?"

If I trade a lifetime of wanting for just a glance in return I'll not be bereft once this dream ends

還是會害怕失去你 - Enno Cheng

"Come back to Gusu with me."

You said nothing lasts forever But have you already forgotten? I'm still afraid of losing you

Transcontinental, 1:30 A.M. - Vienna Teng

"When we arrived, you were vacantly sitting on a rock within the cave. Wangji was holding your hand, transmitting spiritual energy to you, lowly murmuring to you the entire time."

Wait, don’t let this line go slack  I want to bring you back to where I know you  Oh, wait, don’t give up on this yet  I just want you to let you let me hold you

It Will Come Back - Hozier

"And from beginning to end, you only repeated a single phrase to him: Get lost!"

Don't let me in with with no intention to keep me Jesus Christ, don't be kind to me Honey, don't feed me, I will come back

玉仔的心 - Enno Cheng

To drink that which he had drunk, to suffer the hurts he'd suffered. To this day, this wound has scabbed over for 13 years.

Your unchanging desire drowns in the chaos of the city But you still hold onto your jade rabbit heart

何以歌 - Aki阿杰

A specific melody rose to the top of his mind. He calmed himself, and played that different phrase.

Thinking time has already forgotten me I am but a melancholy traveller on this earth But just who has left sentiment behind? The cold breeze that blows over the old city Once again resounds like summons from a flute And in this moment, just what is this song for?

Funny Little Frog - Belle & Sebastian

"How strange, that such a boring person could make me so happy!"

I had a conversation with you at night  It's a little one sided but that's alright I tell you in the kitchen about my day  You sit on the bed in the dark changing places  With the ghost that was there before you came  You've come to save my life again

Shrike – Hozier

"I remember now, Lan Zhan. Just like this. I... did carry you before."

I was hushed by your warmth, thus transformed By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn Remember me, love, when I'm reborn As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

Eric’s Song - Vienna Teng 

"Lan Zhan! Back then, at the cave of the Xuanwu of Slaughter, what was the name of that song you sang for me?"

Strange how I fit into you  There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease  Strange how you fit into me  A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs

月光備忘錄 - Crowd Lu

"If he catches me, I'll..."

Would you still indulge me in times of danger? You'll stay with me, quietly embracing me Truth lies in your hand holding onto my emptiness The moonlight protecting us as we sway to its rhythm

Pink in the Night - Mitski

"I adore you, love you, want you, can't bear to be without you, whatever you."

It's like a summer shower With every drop of rain singing "I love you, I love you, I love you!”

聽見下雨的聲音 - Jay Chou

Somewhere along the way, the soft rains had become a torrent. Outside of the Guanyin Temple, the lanterns had long been extinguished, drenching their surroundings in pitch black. Wei Wuxian could not make a sound. In the darkness, Lan Wangji had already drawn him into a fierce embrace, stopping his mouth.

So finally I hear the sound of rain And the world wakes up around me From the beginning, you've been within reach Quietly, steadily, you've been by my side

起風了 - 吳青峰

Just like before, Wei Wuxian smiled as he called to him, and he turned to look back. From that moment on, he could never have averted his eyes again.

And finally I've returned my youth to him Along with the midsummers played from my fingertips Every movement of our hearts gone with the wind

忘羨 – 吳恩，余夏

忘羨一曲遠，曲終人不散。

No matter when our song ends, let us not separate again.

[cinnamonest]

hello! can i ask which textbooks/books did you use to learn chinese? or was it something another? maybe, some kind of a special methodic? it would be nice if you could tell, but if not, it's okay!! have a nice day/evening <3

Ah well I recently completed my BA in Mandarin, so I was being taught directly in a university setting. However, we did use the Cheng & Tsui publisher's "Integrated Chinese" series. The only issue is that it's a bit pricey, like $70 USD which is actually surprisingly not expensive for a college textbook, but it is expensive generally speaking. As an alternative, there's a lot of free or cheaper resources, but to be honest I don't think I can assuredly attest to any of them since I haven't used any of the other ones, sorry, but I know usually there are google reviews available for textbooks as well.

For resources though, Pleco is a great resource. It has saved me a lot of time and grades.

Additionally, although of course it's best to try on your own, you'll inevitably make use of translation apps sometimes (and can be a good way to double-check, even if you worked out a sentence on your own). For this I would strongly recommend you use Yandex Translator and not Google translate. Google translate can listen to audio and transcribe it a bit better, but Yandex Translator gives more accurate text translations in my experience (especially as it more accurately recognizes some colloquial phrases, whereas Google translates them literally).

Study wise, I have a small dry erase board I would just drill characters with over and over, it really helps. Also try to learn radicals (small parts that make up bigger characters), as characters can be broken down into the same radicals, and it makes memorization a lot easier.

Finally immersion - I have a lot of Mandopop, Chinese dramas etc, I also have my phone's UI and my PS4's UI in simplified Chinese. Also, for the last two years, funny enough I've been using Genshin to study. I switch back and forth between English text with Chinese voiceover and Chinese text with English voiceover, or both in Chinese sometimes.

Hi Chu!!! I'm replying rn before I get busy again grrr

That's good to hear!! Will you be going on small trips or overseas?

AHAHHAHA LOVING HOW YOU'RE JUST CALLING HIM A PRICK 😭😭 And your bf definitely didn't know what he was getting you into... But you can blame him for making you start simping for Gojo! So he can't roll his eyes at Gojo anymore!

YEAH IT WAS TRAUMATIC 😭 And I guess you can get water shoes...? IDK I use those for kayaking and stuff but they cover your feet AHAHHA But how did your feet crash against rocks- Like were you walking in the water orr- And ouch How did it even get into your nails 😭😭😭

3.9?!??!?! lowkey jealous 😭 And unfortunately, I suck at presentations AHAHA Like I'm those type that must memorise their scripts or I'll start stuttering and pausing A LOT. Like I memorise my script but when I say it out I reword it at some parts... If I don't memorise and just Yolo it.... Eh I'll probably start crying AHAHA This is 1 reason why I ask myself if I joined the right course... But yes I will try! Idt I can get into a local Uni tho AHAHA cause most people only get in with a GPA of 3.7> and it's so scary...

Yeah agreed... For my friends, 4/5 of my friends including me love Taylor swift songs and Mandopop while my last friend likes k-pop... and like she always felt so left out... But both of us love anime so that's how I bond with her! She ended up ditching us for her boyfriend tho... She literally doesn't contact us anymore unless she has no one to go out with... So my mum put me on a ban and I can never go out with her again....... Reason cause she's a fake friend? Idk what do you think?

YAY yes do watch! You can read the webtoon too! It's a daily pass! AHAHAHA yes totally normal [I watched The marvels because of his one minute cameo] Oh really? how bad is the CGI 😭😭😭😭

AHHAHA THEY TRIED?!??! I'm just being laughed at cause I haven't been asked out/ asked someone out AHAHHAAHHAAH putting you up for sale 😭😭😭 Can't relate YET but I can somehow imagine it.... Omg serious?! Same omgomg! AHAHAH Don't worry babe I'm a southeast-Asian chinese and I don't know like half of those...

AHHAH It's a crystal from my crystal obsession phase when I was 16... YEAH By right it's for healing... But Idc I pray and manifest with it anyway!

Thankyou thankyouuuu! Aahah I'm not a fan of suffering from heatstroke in those stands either, but good things is my country didn't allow standing pens for her concert! So I guess no heatstroke?

YESS LUKE'S IS SO CUTE AND ANGSTY BUT GRRR I LIVE FOR ANGST DHHDHD How many are you from guaranteed SSR 😭😭 加油加油 I know you can do it! RIGHT This story got me HOOKED and you're so right ROSA 🤤🤤 She makes me question how I'm still straight...

I skipped past the main story for the S-chips ngl... I told myself I'll re-read it... But did I? I wonder...

ALSO I saw an ask about Love and deep space! Did you pre-reg? It looks so interesting!

Also I'm thinking of going off-anon soon cause I want to send pics but being anon doesn't allow me too grrr

-🪩

disco anonn!!🥹 sorry for the late reply i just went back from my vacation and i really want to answer you while sitting in front of my laptop :'))

i went to malaysia! it's just a little trip planned bc we haven't been on a trip lately and also visited penang to get checked up ehehe

the way he's now regretting it is so funny ahahahah🥹 like trying so many ways to make me face the truth (gojo's death) but i wouldn't have it and he's like 🤧🤧🤧

water shoes... the ones like frog's feet?🥹 omg it's too funny like imagine walking on the sand with that big of shoes😭 more like the rocks are hidden beyond the sand and i just stomped over it??😭 it's no better that my rubber sandals has these... holes? (gods i still don't understand why they made holes in it) which basically guarantees that sand would go through them😭😭😭😭 it looks like bathroom sandals ngl

ooh actually same!! during my uni days, i'd stutter a lot and blanked out in the middle of presentations🤧 HAHAHAH yolo it omg that's so relatable and yes, now... maybe i'm just in a mostly yolo mindset too but i just went with the flow, and spout everything in my head (the cons is that sometimes it's jumbled up a bit) but i learn that it's better that way rather than clamping up?🥹 keep fighting disco anon!! i'm rooting for you!! <3 i know it seems hard at first but what doesn't kill you will make us stronger! (or cry..... at most, but that's okay!!!)🥹

mandopop!!! omg i used to love taiwanese songs back then!!🥹 oh wait i got sidetracked... hmm, it's a bit hard to pinpoint but... well, i wouldn't immediately say that she's a fake friend... but more like, friend who only comes to you for convenience? i have a fair share of friends like this and there are two kinds of them: one, who is plainly fake it shows and two, who is still kind to you despite having drifted apart. personally, i wouldn't mind the second one though, because we can't exactly force being friends with someone...

SAME I WATCHED THE MARVELS FOR HIM but he only showed up for 2 minutes skaldjsa CGI's not that bad!!🥹 but in my eyes, the creature seems strange so...

THEY DID TRY ASKDASKDA i felt like a fruit put on sale honestly omg my aunt tried to set me up with her son's friend once (she said he had a stable job and is a nice, big catch etc) and what happened? nothing. the guy was so silent i was like talking to a brick wall and i couldn't say anything because ??? hello i'm way younger than you i don't have the audacity😭 ahahaha but seriously putting up daughters for sale is like a trend within chinese community or something?😭 everywhere i go, we always have similar stories regarding this adskdjalsd

i usually pray... using hands🥹 that's just because i'm lazy though ahahaha in the new years it's usually with incense and such

omg that's so convenient!!🥹 it would do wonders if only there's a regulation like that in my country too *sigh* did you have fun??

.............i give up again. i will make do with marius. BUT I WILL CATCH HIS FIREFIGHTER CARD THOOO OMG I WAS LIKE ADSAIDJASD WHEN I SAW IT I. MUST. GET. THAT. FIREFIGHTER. CARD !!!!!!!

AHAHAH i used to skip them too for schips🥹 but apparently they're so engaging! especially eps 6-8, i lit can't get away from my screen ahahaha

i did! but... honestly after playing it for two days now... it's not quite my style?? :')) it looks way too realistic... but not... uh, what i'm comfortable with? i prefer to keep playing otome with drawing styles rather than 3d one because i can't never get used to it asjdkajda do you pre register and download it? how are your thoughts so far?

it's okay to go off anon!! ahahah🥹 but wait i think i might know who you are....🤭

i’ve been secretly salty about why i haven’t seen anything about fighting man 我們戰鬥吧 on Tumblr until I realized that the version i’m watching on Youtube isn’t subbed in English and that’s probably why an English-based website isn’t interested :(

anyway the fact that eric chou got one (1) second of screen time on this ep is discrimination

[puddingcatbeans]

can i be nhs and send you a kpop song and get a mandopop in return? 👉👈 i was just listening to "SPY" by super junior (it's an utter meme of a song tbh i haven't read the lyrics but it's clown music it's really funny imo i love it 😂) and wanted to share it with someone and thought of you!! (also i love your writing and the return key; series!! also sometimes i see your #bean translates and it's so cool it inspires to want to do something similar thanks for sharing it with us!!!!)

omg yes!!!!! i’m watching the mv for that one rn and it’s a RIOT sldkjflsj it’s really interesting how the chorus is all clown music as you said but the rest of it is like... double oh seven...... out to get ya...... batman....... the choreo is very entertaining though, thank u for making me laugh!

in return i give you also an older song (11 years ago, according to yootubey... aiyah) called 要去高雄 (going to kaohsiung) by 宇宙人cosmospeople which is on my playlist because a) that’s my ma’s home city and b) it gives me hella summer vibes. also you can see their dorky decade-ago haircuts sdjkflsjd

i’m glad you like the au and my lil translating side project! it’s self-indulgent because i want to practise my chinese and share with you all that side of me; honestly, you should go for it, too! it’s quite fun!! thanks for dropping by :D

[amjustagirl]

Btw it's funny bc I came here to ask if you're a fellow SE Asian when I saw 'ISSIT' in your recent reblog! Then I scrolled down to see you answering an ask regarding Singlish and recognizing this slang/language when you're outside 😂 And good to know I'm not the only one with headcanons about ah beng Atsumu omg! I always associate him with Hokkien and Osamu with Cantonese or Teochew

Hello hello my fellow SEAsian!  Yes! I’m from Singapore, to be exact!

Goodness, this ah ma really revealed her inner market auntie hor. Whoops. 

omg yes if you’re interested, we have a SEA server for hq fans (run by the irrepressible @forgetou) where we scream about ah beng atsumu (food panda! Atsumu who rides his PMD blasting mandopop) and ah beng iwaizumi (gym trainer at anytime fitness) etc. 

Oh gosh, I’m Hokkein / Teochew myself! I absolutely can see the association - Atsumu is a little cruder and impatient and brash, so hokkein makes sense. I feel like Teochew would fit Osamu cos it’s so similar to Hokkein - yet different (my teochew grandma would argue that it’s more refined) but yes! 

Please, feel free to keep screaming at me! I’m so glad to see your ask in my inbox :)

i’ve been tagged by the ever-so-amazing @kidsarentallwrite , so thank you! love seeing your answers as always hahaha and am always thankful that you remember me for these games <3  1. Go to song when you need to get into the mood to write? sad songs. usually my favourite jay chou song, or some really sad hua chenyu pieces. but yea, always sad mandopop.  and then i write a funny scene right HAHAHAHA ok no not always (my recent snippet was following a sad hcy song and it is ... hm. is it sad? i don’t know.) 2. Dream director for a film/television adaption? taikaaaa yoooooo!!! shout out to my best boy i can’t wait to watch jojo rabbit!  edgar wright in the lines of the cornetto trilogy &/ scott pilgrim like man the cornetto trilogy was l i f e  stephen chow for the most ridiculous nonsensical situational comedy that takes place in my wip (i’m thinking the fish scene, yall know that elusive fish scene that i always name-drop but never go into specifics about - gimme that in the style of kungfu hustle’s strongest woman!) 3. If you ever saw your WIP go to stage, is more likely to be a play or a musical? musical. it’d be a very boring play since nothing happens, and it’s ridiculous enough for the characters to break out in random musical numbers and still be valid. on immediate thought i can imagine teng wailing into the night singing a song about a forlorn love while zhen throws a shoe at him and jun sings a bad back-up harmony and ren is just there in the corner, rubbing at his temples and shou will act the part of the audience on stage and cheer and throw flowers and wail equally loudly in tears of absolute astonishment and delight yes. 4. Favourite thing you’ve written? eh. in my wip, or in general???? honestly i can’t think of anything. sometimes when i’m re-reading my writing / drabbles / whatever, in hindsight im like ‘whoa i wrote that??’ and then i re-read it AGAIN and im like ‘ew, i wrote that?’ and the cycle repeats x100 my favourite thing from my wip so far though, i think i have an actual scene for that. it’s this scene after all of them listens to this story. they are really affected by it, though none of them show it, and the next day shou just goes wandering around the streets and has this sorta experience and  it’s written a little vague, a little dazed and confused but also really... hm. kinda magical-ish and surreal and i think it was written pretty ... nicely. yea. HAHA. (maybe i’ll let you read it someday *winks* HAHAHAHAHA) 5. Top five authors, go! ME.  jk hahahahahaha. do i mean just kidding or do i mean jkr? who knows?? okay in all seriousness i love leigh bardugo, i love marie lu, ofc i love my man rick riordan and my childhood hero roald dahl. the last one’s for grabs, who wants to throw their name into the hat?  6. Biggest influences to your writing? idk, a lot of things. music and musical scenery (as in, yknow, certain visualisations you get when listening to songs & its mood and atmosphere etc. also i was watching pavarotti the other day for work, yknow the film about italian opera tenor luciano pavarotti? and in that film they mentioned something pretty interesting, in that in italian opera they first write down the lyrics, and then only after do they compose music to go with the lyrics so that each music strand is as evocative of the feeling of the word as possible, and i think that’s really cool) humour, definitely. most of my OCs came about from a line of dialogue that i just needed them to say. yes they are all manifestations of words. isn’t that all characters?  but really. mostly just a sort of feeling. can’t really describe it. that’s why i have a hell of a difficult time getting inspirations huh? 7. What do you use more, first/second/third person? when i was younger i used to do first person, but now i can’t stand to do first person hahaha it’s just a little odd for me i need my third-person. sometimes i can’t really bear to read first-person either, at least since i’ve grown older. i don’t really know why, can’t pinpoint it. some first-persons are really good though. 8. What social media would your OCs have? uhhhh i’m not a big social media person, so i don’t really know. i’ve stopped using instagram since the beginning of this year, and it’s odd because people never remember that i don’t use instagram. it’s like a thing that everyone assumes that everyone has and uses, i guess -- it just can’t stick in their minds that i’m not anymore. just an interesting observation 9. Why do you write the genre you write? the more important question is, what is my genre? HAHAHA. okay i don’t know, i just like writing character and character interactions and i love introspective pieces (even though mine, arguably, isn’t particularly introspective since no one wants to think in that, tsk, typical humans) 10. Team Edward or Team Jacob? when i read the books i was a 100% team jacob, until he went and imprint on a newborn baby and i was like ew bro what’s wrong with you so i’m team no-one now. both sides are creepy, unfortunately. 11. What’s your guilty pleasure movie? no guilty pleasures! not ashamed of letting people know what films i enjoy watching HAHA  i am a very conventional film-viewer and i like commercial stuff with mass appeal. sue me. like even though i’m writing film reviews for my internship right now and you’d assume i’d be all art-house and stuff, but like, no that stuff takes up too much brain energy i like fun, mass-appeal commercial stuff that forces you to engage in it and use your brain, whether during / after the film. that’s why parasite is fking amazing and it’s my favourite film of this year. if you haven’t watched it, WHY THE HELL NOT?  tagging a few peeps at @coffehousecreations @bahay-kubo @insearchof-solace @kaigods @aslanwrites @bookenders @mvcreates @tenacious-scripturient @inexorableblob @focusdumbass questions under ‘read more’!

1. why did you choose writing as a medium instead of other artistic endeavours? 2. what language(s) would you love your wip to be translated into, and why? 3. how would you describe your own writing? 4. who do you look up to the most in the writeblr community, be it their energy or personality or writing? 5. give yourself three compliments in terms of your own writing ability! you deserve it!  6. how much does real-world events translate into your writing? 7. what is your all-time favourite film? 8. how would you rate your writeblr experience as of now? how has it differed from your prior expectations? 9. what trope / inspired scene do you want to put in your wip, but haven’t? 10. give us a summary of one of your earliest wips! 11. what do you enjoy reading most from another person’s writing? bonus question (for, ahem, personal reasons): have you watched parasite? why / why not? what do you think of it?
