    So apparently "a big watermelon, cut in half, half for me, half for you" is a tai chi meme, you can look it up it's actually very famous here, like this is how they explained the basics of the basics to newcomers, and at the same time it's how all the experts in Chinese cartoons and novels teach tai chi to modern tourists

    someone told me that in the Chinese version, "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" was pointed at the four houses, the first four Ravenclaw, the second for Gryffindor, the third floor Slytherin, and the fourth for Hufflepuff, as in these are the stereotypes of how they look at other people

    How is it that Dragon Ball Super is so bad at continuity that they have the entire team get got by some dude who is just able to perceive things at the speed of sound, like this setting just nerfed everyone to being subsonic wtf

    I think the last time these things made some amount of sense was in og dragonball. Even that had a suddenly light speed feat if I remember correctly.

    It still makes no sense that we just let Dr. Kuga live and walk away in Digimon Storytime, you know, like, dude almost destroyed the world with a super weapon, did took out the heart of your friend, did fatal experiments on a lot of people, wtf just let him walk?

    That one where the MC gets a Mastemon, isekais to other worlds, and steals the Twelve Talismans from Shendu, and that other stuff, is kind of nice

    If you think about it, Faerun/Toril/whatever DND canon settings and the Goblin Slayer world aren't really that different in terms of "deathworldness", but the Goblin Slayer world brought the unspoken rules to the forefront, which is that this is all just a giant boardgame of the gods, one bad dice means you're fucked. It's never played out in DND, some authors don't even acknowledge it, but it's actually the same.

    Today I learned,
    In Japanese surnames, "二" isn't as straightforward as in Chinese, it's sometimes pronounced in the manner of "it's longer down there", as this character for the number two is one short stroke over one long stroke, which is very lewd.

    lmao that bo only 80m can't even cover the costs even if he got all of that hahaha oh why did he pick last month to put it up

    That one Angewomon SI is really nice, but it kind of went off the rails after a while due to author being too focused on Digimon series alone despite being multiverse, and obsessed with NEO of all things in Digimon, and then depowering MC, then doing this entire lecture on "dimensional power levels" or whatever

    Look, I liked it better when it was two Angewomon lewding each other

    Oh, the story ended at only 500 chapters, it's an alright ending, I guess, readers kind of want more, but writer can't do more, serves him right btw, keeps nerfing the mc every two or three worlds, like what why

    still probably the best digimon si story I've read so far

    It's the lewd Angewomon that makes you think it's the best thus far

    Kind of like the idea of, you know, when you're doing isekai jump runs, one of them you land in a JRPG world, so you make a guild, and then when you pack up your guild and land in a wuxia world, you make a sect there instead

    Every time I go back to the Mummy movie with the Dragon Emperor, I get more disappointed and disgusted by it. Portraying the Emperor as a tyrant because he used military force for conquest, but that's what everyone did and still do. Ziyuan cheated on him for his lackey, even today, if you're the boss, your wife cheats on you with your driver, what do you do? Lmao turns into a DND tiamat, not a 龙, wtf is this shit

    I guess all of that doesn't matter that much, except that everything has been whitewashed, hollywoodized, and white saviored, idk, like, if they even had the basic respect for source materials, they'd have had more welcome, you know, like a white dude who says 你好 with a weird accent

    Sun Wukong's 72 transformations are not actually forms but 72 magical powers, but Bodhi offered him either 72 earthly transformations or 36 heavenly transformations, being a monkey, thinking the bigger number is better, he didn't realize that the latter 36 was more potent, but he was looking for immortality, which was in neither, but he didn't learn this lesson until much later, much like all life lessons

    You know the recurring problem that has always been minor but keeps growing with these idol dramas is that they're all dubbed, like, at first people made fun of the actors being unable to memorize lines and just kept saying "1231231" on set and then getting voiced over in post, actors not even speaking good mandarin, but these days, the voice actors don't even sound like the actors, like an aunt voicing a loli

    An easy measure of the quality of a wuxia fanfic writer is the Golden Basin scene, where the Songshan Sect people threaten Liu Zhengfeng with his family members to find Qu Yang. A shit writer would just fight them. A mid writer would bring out the Imperial Court to deter them. An okay writer would point out this is against the Jianghu rules; meaning they can kill their families too

    The Chinese entertainment stories where the MC goes over to California/Hollywood to make dollars and gain international fame to gain superiority in China always have the male MCs fuck/sell himself to various Democrat party leaders there, like as if by having them means easy access to Oscars or whatever, but if having connections alone is enough and talent/skill isn't needed, then Amy Schumer

    I feel like all the people writing Condor Heroes fanfics only watched the (one of the many iterations that became the) show, or even only watched the show-summary in short video form, instead of reading the books, because they all think Guo Jing is a "patriotic and selfless" hero

    but in the novel, it was Huang Rong, who was taught to be patriotic by her dad, who got them both killed in Xiangyang

    I just think, you know, if Imu looks like Princess Vivi, and they cast such an ugly Princess Vivi, then, in like twenty years when Netflix actually gets to current One Piece, they'll have to use such an ugly Imu

    People misunderstand Xuanwu Gate Incident, thinking that in ancient times you can use 800 soldiers to revolt and succeed the throne; back then everyone in power had fought beside Li Shimin for years, liken to his VC investors, and using 800 was all he needed to kill his brother, because it's like he already had the "senate" and "cabinet" on his side, he was just leaving his father some face
