antithetical couplets

chinese couplets for tgcf/mdzs/svsss/2ha in that order (elaboration below):

仙花垂怜，川城倾谢

陈情一曲，忘羡无羁

秋霜垣断，洛水河绵

玉衡微晚墨夜燃，棠雨渐宁苍生渡。

elaboration

tgcf : huacheng x xielian

仙花垂怜，川城倾谢

xiānhuā chuílián, chuān chéng qīng xiè

Heavenly flowers empathise and shed mercy; entire rivers and cities bow down in gratitude.

mdzs : lwj x wwx

陈情一曲，忘羡无羁

chénqíng yī qū, wàngxiàn wú jī

I lay out my resentments and play a piece on Chenqing; I forget my covetings of the world and go out into the wild, untamed.

svsss : lbh x sqq

秋霜垣断，洛水河绵

qiūshuāng yuán duàn, luòshuǐ hé mián

In the autumn frost the walls fall down; in the Luo River the waters flow, unabating.

2ha : mo ran x cwn

玉衡微晚墨夜燃，棠雨渐宁苍生渡。

yùhéng wēi wǎn mòyè rán, tángyǔ jiàn níng cāngshēng dù

The Yuheng star, Alioth, of the Big Dipper dips slightly and burns in the ink-like night; the Haitang flowers rain, gradually calms, and ferries all mortals across the raging seas.

antithetical couplets, or alternatively, the lack thereof. these are known as 对仗 (duì zhàng) in chinese (similar to 对联 duì lián、对偶 duì ǒu you may have heard of), where the number of characters in each phrase are the same, while the position of the noun in the first part of the couplet equates the position of the noun in the second, the verb the verb, the adjective the adjective etc. there's also this thing called 平仄 (píng zè) in which the tonality of the first and second parts of the couplet has to be opposite (terrible explanation sorry for butchering it).

they aren't strictly 对仗 here. words like 绵 is more an adjective than a verb, while 断 is a verb. the 平仄 for the last one (2ha) should work alright, i didn't bother for the other four-char phrases.

Italicised words delineate main character-related words in chinese. It all began with Nirvana in Fire jingsu's "年景靖好，岁月长苏" (nián jǐng jìng hǎo, suì yuè cháng sū) which I loved to bits, and that led to me coming up with all these (very flawed) couplets stringing together character names and relevant things.

rough english translations. again i linked some of the words together in pinyin for easy understanding but officially they should be written apart.

reposted from ao3 on which i have not really written anything.

I had a crack idea that I was thinking of so you know in Dan is Klarion au I was imagining a au based off of that one where all of Danny's children are Klarion is like the robin thing for Batman it started off with Danielle when nabu insulted Danny as the Ghost King and Balance

Ever since Ellie decided that she needed to get back in blood so she made the chaotic antihero Klarion and and her suppose it familiar 'cat' Teekl the way to help out her mother and mess with Dr Fate/Nabu Teekl is actually a bear with an illusion on that makes him look like a cat in the human's eyes

Whatever since the anti-hero Klarion in The Phantom family has been passed down each of them giving their own flair to the persona of Klarion with a different animal every time that they had pretending to be a cat

Tell her to finally passed on to Dan it is an honorary sibling thing each of them has their own antihero name once they passed down the title of Klarion

Diana's query and takes after his father's style of dressing and his tickle is a phoenix

First of Thanks for the Ask! Inspirational as always! Helps with my writers block [insert awkward laugh]

Either way because this is split in two asks... you get two version! One focused on how it started and the other on the reveal! Though the might be some little Shorts... Also there is something really funny to me about a giant bear letting Illusionen into a cat... So Enjoy!

(BTW still thinking over the other ask... and working on it don't worry!)

------------------

Ellie huffed as Danny reprimanded her for her actions. She just huffed crossing her arms. She was just helping Danny. Her mom got a lot on his shoulders and she as the sort of oldest saw that the best. Sure technically Dan was older then her but, he shrunk down to kid level again and now she was the oldest.

Well if she ignored her other brothers but they were only saved recently and still in treatment with Frostbite. So she was the oldest. End of story.

"Ellie you can't just go off like that you know that messing with an Ancient is not-"

"Mom, That Nabu-Guy was being a pain in the a- " - "Ellie!" - "A PAIN, babbling on to much about Order here Order there. How keeping Balance means keeping Order and bla bla bla!" She cut in stopping her mom before he could go on another rant about the Ancients, she needed to treat with respect.

"He doesn't respect you, the Ancient of Balance! You are the literal Symbol of Balance between Life and Death! Aside from being the Ghost King. So of course I had to mess with the one HE mentors!" Ellie added huffing as she crossed her arms.

Danny pinched the bridge of his nose. "Ellie, you created an entire alternate persona!"

"Yea so?"

"You used an illusion spell on Fluffels!"

"And? Any good Anit-Hero needs a Mascot." Ellie shrugged once more looking up at her mom before looking over to Fluffels, her pet ghost grizzly that was pretty much double maybe even tripple her size and the fluffiest ghost grizzly you could find in the entire Ghost Zone, and the cutest.

Danny on the other hand groaned, wondering if he had done anything wrong while raising Danielle. Sure he had been a teen himself but good damit why the hell did Ellie decided messing with the Ancient of Order or rather his mentee was a good idea. "I am calling Jazz! You can explain to her what you were thinking!"

He was definitely to overworked and stressed to deal with Ellies mischievousness right now. Well she did call her alternate persona Klarion, Lord of Chaos. Nope! He was not dealing with this right now, so Danny did the sanest thing he could think of. Turning on his heel and walking away. Where to? Who cares maybe he would check in with his old man Clockwork and see what Ellie had actually been up to, instead of just reading through Nabu's complains.

Ellie on the other hand blinked watching her mom leave before calling after him. "Does that mean I have to stop, being Klarion?"

"Mom?!"

"MOM!"

------------------

"Well hello my lovely Amadillos! Long time not seen!"

Ellie shouted cheerfully as she twirled into appearing hair styled into a horn like form, black suit and she might have over done it a little with the black eyeliner but hey it was an iconic look wasn't it. She smirked as Fluffles growled which translated into a meow for the mortals before her thank to the illusion spell.

The mortal teen looked up at her surprised as she floated down her hand glowing with red ectoplasm (a color change from her usual green ectoplasm that had taken a while to learn from Pandora). Young Justice was currently transporting something of interest to her. Well of Interest for the Justice League, really but Doctor Fate was involved which meant Nabu was involved, which naturally meant she would get involved. It didn't hurt that she would also get to try to try some new tricks.

"You got something interesting there... and I want that." She grinned. Ellie didn't give them long before she acted using the new tricks she had learned.

"Woah! Hey there, watch the pointy and sharp thowies!" She laughed making a quick shield as she blocked some batarangs and arrows before blinking.

"Hey they look different. Robin, did you change equipment? Did you get a new haircut too?" She asked curious but didn't really receive an answer as they ignored her questions and shouted something about distracting her while the others continue the transportation. Still she bend down to pick one of them up twirling it between her fingers. "What gives didn't they have a different design before?"

In hindsight it was probably not a good idea to just abandon her original goal but Robin was making her curious. And she could always find a different way to mess with Nabu. Her mom had given her an indirect okay years ago anyway.

"Teekl!" She called out and only her eyes could see how Fluffles jumped at the call growling in response as he swatted away some of the more annoying Young Justice kids. To the mortals it probably looked like Teekl was using ectoplasm, or well magic, in their eyes.

She used that change to go up into Robins face smirking widely as she looked at the other more closely, trying to get a read on him. "You are different! You aren't the same Robin I meet before!"

She ducked in time avoid Superboy as she hopped back excited with a new idea for her family.

But first she would have to deal with the little chaos and mischief she was creating.

------------------

".....and that is how I learned that the Robin title is getting passed down. So I was thinking of doing the same!" Ellie broadly stated looking at all her younger siblings before her. "We all get pretty annoyed with the way Nabu treats Mom so there always has to be a Lord of Chaos to 'balance' Nabu out!"

She grinned at her siblings expecting the same kind of excitement she had and they didn't disappoint. Danny had been there for all of them, even going so far as in to find a way with Clockwork to save some of their lives. So of course they all would jump at the change to mess with the one Ancient that was badmouthing their Mother just because Balance didn't entitle Order the way they wanted.

After all Chaos was needed to Balance Order out.

This was going to be fun...

Teens Satosugu who go to a random fortune teller vendor because Gojo wanted to try it out for fun.

The teller begins with taking Gojo’s hand and reading his fate.

“Ah, young child, you have been born with not just one, but several special gifts. You have very far to go, yet your powers are unparalleled. Many will look up to you, like a god among men.” She pauses. “Be wary, for man eventually takes and takes more than what is given, and that just might be your ruin.”

She continues her spiel - which gets really dark - and Geto sits beside Gojo with a frown because this isn’t very encouraging, and he doesn’t like thinking about what could be Gojo’s end! 😠

On the other hand, Gojo is very intrigued.

Once the lady finishes Gojo's fortune, she turns her eyes to Geto, who puts his hands up like: “We’re not here for me-“

Except Gojo says to not be a wimp and grabs Geto’s hands with his own.

The fortune teller’s eyes idly take in the red string connecting the teens’ middle fingers...

Geto reluctantly lets Gojo put his hand on the table for the fortune teller to read.

Geto’s fortune is similarly eerie.

“Ah, another boy born with a special gift…but you don’t think it’s particularly special, right?”

“What!? Suguru, how could you think that?” Gojo whispers. Geto shushes him so the fortune teller can continue, going on about what it means to be strong - what it means to be a protector - and how failure will lead to a drastic outcome.

Understandably, Geto feels a knot form in the pit of his stomach.

But the knot quickly loosens when he feels Gojo’s arm wrap around his shoulders. A mopof fluffy white hair tickles Geto’s cheek as Gojo cuts in, “Lady, you’re making our futures seem very dark.”

Geto focuses on melting into Gojo’s touch.

The fortune teller admits that she only tells what she sees, and what she sees is two individuals with incredible potential and power, and who will admittedly face many challenges ahead.

“But, allow me to see both of your hands for a moment,” she requests. “I may have one more thing in store, if you wish.”

Gojo and Geto look at each other for a moment, then offer their hands - Geto’s right and Gojo’s left.

The fortune lady grasps both, making sure to discreetly brush against the loops of the string on their middle fingers.

Her eyes slightly widen.

The string - their bond - is strong, humming with spirited energy.

She regards the sight with awe, because-

This string can’t be more than a year old.

have i ever talked abt my personal pokemon mythos origin for giratina as arceus’ bile. ok well im doing it now

giratina is the bile built up and spat out after the creation of the universe. arceus loved this spontaneous and unplanned creation, but it was too violent and had to be sealed away. giratina now preforms as a sort of counterbalance to the universe from the distortion world. dialga and palkia are older, and were created when arceus severed two of its many arms. they sequestered themselves in other realms on their own terms, after seeing how their power could lead to terrible results. uxie mesprit and azelf were created after all this as a sort of safeguard against further destruction. they are some of the oldest pokemon to have not left the world for somewhere else

i think arceus loved giratina very much. it was an unplanned and chaotic being that it considered beautiful in its spontaneity, but could not come to terms with the destruction it wrought. the world was new, and all arceus could think to do was to seal it away. the shame this action brought to it was a big factor in arceus becoming a mostly absent god, not trusting itself to directly meddle in the world it created

#arceus #giratina #creation trio #pokemon #mythology #poke mythos #arceus loved its violent terrible child. and the actions it took against it caused it anguish #and so it left the world in the hands of three little fairies #and as the worlds natural processes created beasts and legends to populate the lands #the three little blue fates watch on in silence #most of these hcs predate legends arceus btw. these are homegrown from taking a mythology course and just really liking the sinnoh legends

i feel like based on his only environment (the fazbear frights attraction), springtrap would just 'think' someone placed horror/halloween decorations in him when he saw himself without his mask/head. like the only place he knows is decorated to hell, he cant remember anything about his person (or that he was/is one) or past, all he knows is that this is his place, there's tacky horror decor everywhere and he's somehow part of it- he knows nothing more, so the only dots he could potentially connect are these. bro thinks he is party city.

oh my fucking god you're a genius

#FUCK. PARTY CITY IS GOING TO KILL ME #he finds a halloween skeleton and he's like. holy shit. it's all coming together now #this is gonna cycle back to how the four og animatronics think humans are endoskeletons. head in my hands. god help me #the guy who orchestrated and created these robots and sealed the bodies within them. having the same fate of death in the suit #he made this world and now he's a part of it #GRABS YOU BY THE SHOULDERS #HE IS PARTY CITY #ask #fnaf #springtrap

Today I learned that deancasbenny is sometimes called destiny and God. I’ve never seen such a name for a ship that’s equally poetic as it is ironic. I would’ve called it poetic irony but that would wrongfully imply that they’re given what they deserved. It’s hauntingly beautiful.

#I fucking love naming things more beautiful ship names please #it’s such a clever little name that’s so packed with so much meaning #which I don’t think was even intended at all—no one really knew that god and destiny would’ve fucked them up back when it was created.#someone probably just thought “oh they’re destined together that’s cute <3”. they had no fucking idea.#but also it’s about how they each all tried to fight against their fates and what was “meant to be” in their own ways.#but ultimately still lost.#this might never be topped.#supernatural #spn #destiny #deancasbenny #destiel #deanbenny #casbenny #dean winchester #castiel #benny lafitte #purgaytory

I understand why adaptations use the idea that the Count is specifically drawn to Lucy and Mina (it explains the plot hole of how he ends up right where they are).

But, I find so much more tragedy in it being simply because Lucy has a condition that makes her vulnerable. The sleepwalking didn't start because of him; we know she's done it when she's stressed since she was a kid. And it isn't unusual for someone to sleepwalk to a familiar spot like the seat.

But that took her right to the grave where the Count was, and this time, it was at night.

#dracula daily #dracula #i just think there is something to the idea that just being more vulnerable than the average person creates the danger #not that he chose her for any fated or “romantic” reason

cnovel recs

A continuation of this post.

Is anyone perchance interested in more chinese web novel recs? I have been rather taken up by them last year, and have posted a number of reviews on another site.

link to recs: https://lycorxian.notion.site/49551e76236241f094d383eb206cc1c2

I haven't considered translating the reviews because the books are chiefly written in chinese yet to be translated (and goodness it's... taxing ploughing through your own terrible writing attempting to translate anything). However, if a rec list happens to interest you, that you would like to hone your chinese reading skills or are simply on the lookout for more cnovel recommendations, go ahead and have a go at these novels I recommended.

Links to the reviews are just at the rightmost part of the notion database (scroll down), they are in trad chi in consideration of the posting platform though it should simply be a matter of web browser translation to simplified chinese.

Thanks and enjoy!

I've decided the only valid answer to the question of "Could another Master have trained Anakin better/saved Anakin from Falling" is Jon Antilles.

This has absolutely nothing to do with any sort of personality differences between Jon Antilles and Obi-Wan or any belief that Jon Antilles would be a better teacher or has anything in particular in common with Anakin, and everything to do with the pure rage-fueled aneurysm that being Jon Antilles's Padawan would give to Palpatine as he tries to contact Anakin and is told for the 7th time now that Anakin and his Master were just declared dead again and no one's sure if it's stuck this time.

#star wars #obi-wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #jon antilles #sheev palpatine #the jedi aren't even TRYING to stonewall palpatine this time #this is just normal for jon antilles and nothing changed when he took on a padawan #palpatine keeps sending his agents after anakin and somehow they keep winding up dead #and worse: before they die they manage to leave behind yet another clue as to his entire plan #he has dooku send jango after them and they discover kamino and the clone army #palpatine sends dooku instead and they discover either sifo-dyas's fate or geonosis #palpatine finally goes himself and funnily enough the last planet they were seen on was malastare #but when he arrives the dugs tell him they're pretty sure the two jedi are dead and his rage creates a massive sinkhole #and what could be in that sinkhole you ask? it's a zillo beast with a metal chair!#jon and anakin were actually just off meditating for a few weeks nearby and come back when they feel a major shockwave in the force #neither of them are particularly pleased to have to make ANOTHER call to the council about a really weird mess that just happened

if you become a dungeons and daddies patron, you, too, can end up having sympathy for the most awful motherfucker in both campaigns! :)

#willy stampler #dungeons and daddies #dndads fanart #spoilers #dnddads spoilers #he's an unlikable tragedy huh #a monster made by his own hand and by the uncaring hand of fate #he mentioned in an episode he might be a sociopath and sociopathy is created via extreme trauma #guess we know what broke him
