#I'm seriously trying to be nice here

[jiangwanyinscatmom]

hi, ive only read SVSSS because i was waiting for 7Seas to release the rest of MDZS and TGCF and i’m now looking to read MDZS as the last volume will be released next month but i read that the translation for MDZS isn’t accurate or good or whatever idk? where would i find a better translation for MDZS? or is the 7Seas one decent?

Good evening anon!

The Sevenseas is passable, and I use that with little generosity as it does take a lot of needed nuance away if you are very very green with lore of cultivation and theology for intersection Buddhism, Doaism and Confucianism when it was translated to English. Personally I don't find it a good to pay for the price it asks for which is probably about 115-120 USD depending on vendors for all five volumes. If you don't mind more than the general lore that MDZS has, it reads fine. However there are many issues with lines messed up or omitted strangely that have not all been fixed as volume one has only gotten a second physical reprint I believe. As far as I'm aware, the digital copies have yet to be fixed (no I'm not biting at the bit at all over any of this and trying to remain neutrally polite).

Bluntly put, for my opinion, I found it to be a mediocre translation and the stepchild of the MXTX products Sevensea took on, and it is no more or less than the previous completed fan translation (mind you this one is liable and forgiven for mistakes given it was hobby and freely translated, edited by fans as well, and a 17 year old main translator, from a site that was used to japanese BL novels at the time, but I digress 🥴).

In terms of readability? Dialogue and imagery in Sevenseas is a lot cleaner and less awkward than the ExR one to me. The results are on par with each other with the end product and if you kind of... smoosh them together it probably would have been just fine, ironically.

I can't speak for Tian Guan Ci Fu, as I read it a whole once in standard mandarin, never finished the online Suika translation, and am still at a standstill with the beginning of volume 2 for Sevenseas lol. It may be best to speak with @mxtxfanatic for this one and opinion on how it reads in English.

There are no other complete translations, but I quite liked Taming Wangxian's when they used to post it. Personally, read that one to get a "cleaner" idea of what the start of MDZS should be and I guess continue from their stop point with Sevenseas.

Art for we're spitting off the edge of the world by Xenomorphic for the 2024 Star Wars Big Bang @swbigbang. It is an amazing Canon Divergence Fix-it fic from one of the most memorable moments of Andor onwards, with beautiful prose that fits the mood of the show so so well and will make you feel just as deeply for these characters. Please give it a read and heap some love on my team's amazing and hardworking author, they were such a delight to work with!❤️

I have a couple of questions concerning a giant bitch 

So number one I actually commissioned the giant piece of shit known as calcium cat and I’m wondering what I should do, should I commission another artist to remake it or redraw the thing myself so I can get rid of the old version?

Number two I want to make AU similar in ideas to one small dream so that people can still enjoy it without having anything to do with calcium cat but considering I’m genderfluid not trans I’m just not sure if that would be appropriate

Well first thing to remember is that you didn't know at the time you commissioned her she was a bigot.

It's completely up to you for what you want to do though. You can commission another artist or just draw it yourself.

Also you don't need to be trans to make an au like her's. (Even if it's as a "fuck you" or even if it includes characters being trans.)

Although if some people want a VERY cute alternative the @dadmareau is super cute!!!

someone please tell me why blue lock is consuming my entire brain.

i have made a short prologue for the fic. shinsei ayame is my new baby girl and i love him. he is my personal way of distributing justice against isagi for making niko cry and kuon for being an ass.

it's going to be slight yan / yan tendencies, probably just more obsessive love interests than considered normal but we can blame that on everyone being trapped in a football prison. i think it makes sense

anyways i'll probably post the prologue on friday? depending on how fast i finish writing the second chapter. i think it'll go pretty fast once i get into it i've already got notes on the first episode so

I'll stop posting wips eventually but it's been five days since I've said anything and I don't want anyone to think I'm dead/dying/stuck in a ditch and withering away, so here's 10% of the reason I disappeared (the duck is stuck in rendering hell) (and my little baby laptop is screaming at me every time I open up this file)

I might still be mostly lurking for a little bit so please be patient with me in the meantime 🙏🙏

[lululawrence]

I just want to say a quick thank you for all your incredible writing!!! I love coming across one of your fics because I know I'll love it. I've read so many, and loved ever single one.

THANK YOU

[miallurk]

In these days i realized i like art and writing and creating and shopping and taking walks and talking to people and cleaning and helping and studying and doing things but i'm just. too stressed, tired and burned out to do them. How great!

[lonesomedotmp3]

my parents are depressing me so bad I'm actually just shrouded in misery here. and I have no oneeeee to talk to about it it's so cool it's awesome

[fauna-and-floraa]

Felix and Chan actually getting to keep their occa aussiness will always be inherently funny to me, but also it is really cute.... makes me a lil :'')

[smilesobrien]

you can tell trans women are women bcuz as soon as one has an opinion that doesn't align with what's in vogue here comes someone to say she's just doing it for attention from men

[weepylucifer]

Remind me to at some point do something about that ficlet i have knocking around in my head where ulixes surprise-visits steban at his mom's place during semester break and steban gets extremely flustered about it
