In the midst of all this amazing and highly anticipated Agatha hype; I feel it’s important to acknowledge another marvel character who also possessed intense homoerotic tension with her rival and neighbor,,, the og girl kisser herself,,, Dottie Underwood 💄

i will be using chinese words in MYATB gifsets cause i always deeply disliked subbers translating terms from asian languages to english ones (changing hyung/phi to brother is stupid, let the audience learn new cultural stuff and figure it out), so wanted to make a few notes in case there are people in the tag who haven't watched cdramas or read chinese novels before

guniang = young lady

gongzi = young gentleman

ge = older brother, man older than you (like thai phi)

jie = older sister, woman older than you

didi = younger brother, man younger than you

meimei = younger sister, woman younger than you

laoshi = teacher

if you want to use names of the character or an actor in a less formal and more affectionate way, you can double the last syllable, like Jin Xiaobao can be called Baobao. to make it pointed that the one you are referring to is cute/small/young, you can also use prefix "Xiao", like most chinese fans call Wang Yunkai as Xiaokai

example: i have been calling Li Le either Li-di (because he is younger than me, surname + younger brother) or Lele when talking about him to people cause full name feels too distanced and formal

you can read more about how to use chinese names in your speaking correctly, some suffixes and similar stuff here and here

'the average Macedonian soldier suffers one head injury per month' factoid actualy statistical error. average Macedonian soldier suffers 0 head injuries per month. Alexander the Great, who suffers 5 head injuries a day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

you know what really bothers me is that macmillian audio chose two white narrators to narrate nova and adrian in the renegade trilogy, two people of color. both rebecca soler and dan bittner are white. while i get that marissa meyer has probably a personal connection with soler (and soler does an amazing job with every book that she reads), but it’s really not that hard to pick two people of color narrators. like anne yatco, has narrated anime characters and is an actress or rebecca wang who is a voice actors. both are filipino-american voice actors. and then for adrian, brandon rubin who is jesper fahey’s voice in six of crows, and does an amazing job. or they could have had multiple narrators for the lunar chronicles including natalie naudus as cinder, ewan chung as kai, kamran r. khan for wolf, or gabrielle union for winter.

just remembered when patrick sold his house in la and people kept saying he must have moved back to chicago. i think everyone greatly overestimates the distance he and pete can be apart before they start shaking like nervous chihuahuas
