Maple for your ask meme ❤️

>>maple ➳ is there any good news you’ve gotten recently?<<

In terms of news, I think the best one I got lately is about my work schedule for 2023. Got told that I won't have to be shuffling around so much next year, so that's nice to know, but I'm still waiting on actual stipulations to be made on my contract to make it official.

Thanks for the ask, Wei!

Send me an ask

What's the point of having the Sarawat and Tine nendoroids if you can't put the heads on other dolls and dress them up like they're going on a date?

perks of having a salary: feeling more like a proper adult

downside: having to work for it and only being able to catch the moonlight chicken episodes much later

first day was such an emotional rollercoaster and then khaotung and this episode happened and i almost started bawling. great episode. my heart hurts.

now i’m just liking everything @.bengiyo posts, cackle about @.weilongfu’s brilliant post and cry over all the tags by @.isaksbestpillow

love watching a show and continously being stabbed

Summary:

When asked to marry, Crown Prince Wei Wuxian comes up with a most interesting criteria. Whoever plays for him, the correct song from his memories of his youth, he will marry. Many try, many fail. Until Second Prince Lan Wangji comes to take his turn.

Inspired by this idea by theleakypen on Tumblr.

please share some pics of the "super ugly"

Oh sure! There will be photos on the fundraiser page too, but here are two I just completed:

I don’t think they’re necessarily objectively ugly, but I took a look at the fabric and was like “this is for people who want to make a real statement.” I didn’t feel like I could get someone all excited about getting a nice mask and then send them one like these.

These look awesome

I’m pretty proud of them. Most have some little quirk or wrinkle or uneven seam, but by and large they look nice and people can’t tell there’s a crooked nose seam from more than 6 feet away :D

Do the cats love grill days?

They do! I come home COVERED in new smells, but the dominant smell is cooked meat, and they love that. Plus, usually after grilling I’m pretty tired. So once I put the food away, put the dirty dishes in the sink, and put away the grill bag, I sit on the sofa and they come sit in my lap and we all have a nice quiet afternoon together. I’m literally answering this with the laptop balanced on one knee while the cats curl up between my knees and enjoy the heat from the laptop fan blowing on them.

Would it have helped hold the wrenches in place if you wrapped the flat knot over the short end of the wrench? Then there'd be more than one contact point to hold them in the necklace?

I thought about it but I don’t think so -- I mean ultimately they are quite heavy pieces of metal being held by relatively narrow gauge fibers, with nothing to prevent them slipping through the loops. You could, instead of using glue, add something onto the ends of the metal, like a little ridge to stop them falling out, but they’d still slip around quite a bit. I think some E6000 at the neck of the wrench should do the trick the most effectively, anyhow.

H3MODC Thoughts

I haven't watched MODC and I probably never will becauuse the screenwriter obviously is either tone-deaf or does not care for the audience. Tragedies have their place. But BL is a romance subgenre, romances promise happily-ever-afters or at the very least happy-for-now. If you want to do a tragic romance, you have to foreshadow it and telecast that via the story. Don't pull a bait and switch.

The way people are reacting either the story was not built up properly or there was lack of proper character arcs. The premise of a character recalling how their first love changed them forever and beginning over after it ends tragically has a lot of potential.

Off the top of my head's here's two basic ways to do that plot and have it work better.

If similar impact is the goal, save about 3-5 episodes towards the end to show the Haoting going through the stages of grief and learning to move on. This gives you 15-17 episodes to get the same built up but ending isn't so cheap and female love interest doesn't feel like an afterthought. Of course foreshadowing Xi Gu's death clearly.

Alternatively, shift the story so it's about first loves and learning to move on from tragedy. Oops, I said two basic ways, I have a variants of this way.

Basic plot 2 A:

Dedicate the first half third to the high school romance and then the death is the climax of that arc.

Have the second third be about about Haoting going through the stages of grief and not dealing in the healthiest ways. The female love interest could be involved in this part but not at all in a romantic light. Making the decision to move on.

The last third is where he continues his recovery and gets to a point where he begins to spend more time with the female love interest and they slowly fall in love. Having Haoting being conflicted is good tension.

Basic Plot 2B:

Dedicate the first 10 episodes to the high school romance

Have only 1-3 episodes be about how the death wrecked him. End it with him deciding that he has to move on.

Use the rest of the episodes to build up the romance between the female love interest and recovery.

I would prefer either these either be framed at the start with either an obvious scene showing someone is dying/dead or one where Haoting is standing in front of grave and saying recollecting this as part of the moving on scene. When you jump to that part of the story in the chronological timeline, it ends with him either stating he's moving on or asking permission to marry someone else.

These plots keep all the tragedy but handle the death, recovering from grief, and finding love after tragedy better.

This will definitely appeal to a smaller audience from the onset but appealing to a niche audience is better than tricking your audience with an unearned plot twist.

okay I hope you can help me: I'm somewhat new to chinese drama as in I still don't understand all the way people call themselves or the nickname thing like Bing'er, Xiabo etc I was hoping you could help me and explain it to me or direct me to a site that explain in details because I'm down the mysterious lotus casebook hole and I have ideas for fic but i don't know what to use. Especially since my main idea is a girl!duobing fic. Would they call her A-bao ? please help if you can! thank you!

Hiya! Okay, I may make some mistakes on this so I’m tagging my cdrama moots to jump in for any input @sarah-yyy @romchat @rose-tinted-vision @weilongfu @dangermousie @killerandhealerqueen

To answer;

1. Yes, A’Bao (or Ah Bao or A-Bao, depending on your preferences, would be something they would call her

2. Think of Xiao- or A-, in front of someone’s name as kind of an endearment or a way to denote station/closeness.

3. Let’s use for example, Li LianHua; Li-gongzi (Young Master Li; how you respectfully call a son of a family; you can add an er-, san- to denote if the person is the second or third son and so on so forth), Li-shifu (Master Li; shifu is what you call your teacher)

4. Now, if we say for example Xiao Bao or A’Bao, Bao’er, that is what you would call someone you’re close to.

5. Xiao- is what I would call my younger cousins or siblings or a younger friend or someone younger than me, A- is what I would call a same age friend, -er is something I find either between parents and their kids or between couples. Though this could differ from situation to situation.

6. Further example, @dangermousie (fam, indulge me hehe) based on our interactions and mutuals status, I could call them Mousie-er or A’Mouse. In real life, I only use the A—. It’s too weird for me to use the other two, so personally, which one you use is very subjective in my opinion.

It’s rather simple and I know this wasn’t as in depth as it could be. But I hope it answered some basic questions at least.
