蓮花空行身染愛（Liân-hue Khong-hīng sin jiám ài）

Lotus Dakini Dyed in Love by Collage

又閣是彼个 無代無誌想著的形影 iū-koh sī hit ê, bô-tài-bô-tsì siūnn tio̍h ê hîng-iánn There it is again, that figure I remembered out of the blue 親像一陣風 吹落來 是春風少年 tshin-tshiūnn tsi̍t tsūn-hong, tshue loh lâi, sī tshun hong siáu-liân It came over me like a passing breeze - that unfettered youth 坐嘛是思念 坐袂牢 真無聊的思念 tsē mà-sī su-liām, tsē bē tiâu, tsin bô-liâu ê su-liām I sit here and reminisce, but it doesn’t linger - such a restless thought 倒咧眠床頂 予月娘 笑規个暗暝 tó leh bîn-tshn̂g tíng, hōo gue̍h-niû tshiò kui-ê àm-mî Laying on the bed, making the moon laugh until late into the night

我行過你的世界 guá kiânn-kuè lí ê sè-kài I’ve moved past your world 啥物我攏無愛 siánn-mih guá lóng bô ài And I don’t want anything 只想欲佇你心內（寫一條歌） tsí siūnn beh tī lí sim-lāi（siá tsi̍t tiâu kua） only your heart (to write a song)

車行過 *𪜶的期待 tshia kiânn-kuè in ê kî-thāi Cars passed by your expectations 這站閣無落來 tsit tsām koh bô loh-lâi And didn’t stop at this station 無想欲對誰交代（心內驚驚） bô siūnn beh tuì siáng kau-tài（sim-lāi kiann-kiann） Without offering an explanation (hearts unsteady)

想起我彼暗小可仔歹勢 siūnn-khí guá hit-àm sió-khuá-á pháinn-sè I realize I feel sorry about that night 予你揣著我 hōo lí tshuē-tio̍h guá I made you realize that I 規身軀藏無好勢的委屈 kui-sing-khu tshàng bô hó-sè ê uí-khut Can’t properly hide my misgivings

風 中的飛龍咧吼 hong-tiong ê pue-liông leh háu The dragon amidst the clouds is roaring 聲 聲予天搖地動 siann-siann hōo thinn-iô tē-tāng Causing the earth to shake 愛你的傳說寫佇頂懸 ài lí ê thuân-suat siá tī tíng-kuân The legend of our love is written in the sky 感情紲來愈飛愈懸 kám-tsîng sua-lâi lú-pue lú-kuân Feelings also grow the higher it flies

花 開佇你蹛的樓 hue khui-tī lí tuà ê lâu Flowers bloom at your doorstep 想 當時欲綴你走 siūnn tong-sî beh tuè lí tsáu Almost as if they intend to go with you 多情的雨崁著目睭 to-tsîng ê hōo kham tio̍h ba̍k-tsiu The passionate rain conceals your eyes 你的代誌講袂清楚 lí ê tài tsì kóng bē tshing-tshó Your affairs are can’t be told clearly*

看你行過千山萬水 khuànn lí kiânn-kuè tshian-san-bān-suí Watching you traverse a thousand mountains and ten thousand waters 手內薔薇微微仔芳 tshiú-lāi tshiông-bî bî-bî-á phang The rose at hand lightly fragrant 行踏輕鬆跤步的我 (恬恬佇遮攏無出聲) kiânn ta̍h khin-sang kha-pōo ê guá (tiām tiām tī tsia lóng bô tshut-siann) And I light on my feet (am here quietly, without a sound)

日子過一工閣一工 ji̍t-tsí kuè tsi̍t-kang koh tsi̍t-kang Days pass, one after another 你的一切攏猶未放 lí ê it tshè lóng iá-buē pàng And you still have not let it go 越頭欲揣過去的我 ua̍t thâu beh tshuē kuè-khì ê guá A turn of the head, and you want to find the departed me 煞來袂記家己的名 suah-lâi bē kì ka-kī ê miâ How could you have forgotten your own name

是我欲陪你流浪 sī guá beh puê lí liû-lōng It is I who wants to lead you astray 長路終點滿天花雨 tn̂g-lōo tsiong-tiám muá-thinn hue-ú At the end of the long road are clear skies, flowers, and rain 雺霧內底戇神 bông-bū lāi-té gōng-sîn Dazed in the middle of the fog 千年流轉你的世界 tshian-nî liû-tsuán lí ê sè-kài Your world is a cycle of death and rebirth* 自作多情的人 tsū-tsok-to-tsîng ê lâng Before a self indulgent person 眼前地獄家己揀的 gán-tsiân tē-ga̍k ka-kī kíng ê Is a hell of their own choosing 天上 地下 人間 thian-siōng, tē-hā, jîn-kan Above heaven, below hell -- the mortal world 四方妖孽請恁退下 sù-hong iau-gia̍t tshiánn lín thè-hā Quartet of demons*, please back down

這繁華世間 tse huân-hua sè-kan This prosperous world 眾生有情人 tsiòng-sing ū-tsîng-lâng Where everyone has loved ones 有情生煩惱（甘願受罪） ū-tsîng senn huân-ló（kam-guān siū-tsuē） As such are troubled (yet willing to suffer)

心狂閣火著 sim-kông koh hué-to̍h They set their hearts ablaze 明知會艱苦 bîng tsai ē kan-khóo Knowing it will one day bring unhappiness 千錯萬錯 （攏佮你無關） tshian-tshò-bān-tshò（lóng ka̍h lí bô-kuan） Tens of millions of faults  (all have nothing to do with you)

* - the original phrasing is in reference to concepts/phrasing that exist in reference to religion that I have only found information on in very formal Chinese, however I am not skilled enough to translate properly, as such the translation is lacking.

Is the Detention Netflix adaptation any good, because the game is very beloved to me and I am very wary of the show ruining it

[ID: A gifset containing four gifs of the interactive visual novel game Once Again.

Gif 1 shows two panels, with the right side of the screen displaying the text, “Memories of someone.” The left panel shows a black and white image of the back of the protagonist’s head, Sia, in the foreground. The background of the panel is uncovered from a black screen and shows a colored scene of a girl lying on a couch smoking with headphones on. A glitch texture is overlaid on the scene. 

Gif 2 shows two panels in color. The left panel shows the player moving a photo around in a tray of liquid in a red photography room to develop it. The right panel shows a hand selecting one of three rolls of film. 

Gif 3 shows two panels. The left one is in color and shows the female love interest looking through a camera. She focuses on Sia standing in tall grass and looking up at the sky at a sunset while the wind blows. The right panel is an image of the camera’s settings being adjusted to affect its focus.

Gif 4 shows two panels in black and white. The left one shows a timelapse of Sia laying on his bed as the sunlight from his window passes over him. The objects around his room move as he gets younger with each frame. The right panel shows a spinning clock.

i hardly ever do more than cursorily read the concrete avalanche newsletter entries once in a blue moon and click on stuff that catches my eye hoping it's to my liking (there's. so much music in each of them and i don't exactly like this word but, so not "accessible" it's like a pair of leather boots, you have to break it in) but this album's interesting at a first listen, might give it the tried and tested bathroom mirror at 11:30pm treatment tonight

#it's got gorgeous physical packaging too + lim giong <3 #(might reread the taiwanese indie scene chaoyang trap episode really found some gems in there) #.txt #music library

🌉👻 Just finished playing "The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation" and WOW, my heart is still racing! This Taiwanese horror game is a spine-chilling rollercoaster from start to finish. 😱 The eerie atmosphere and the storyline keep you on the edge of your seat.

Set on an ominous bridge where a curse looms, the game plunges you into a world of terror and mystery. The visuals are hauntingly beautiful, and the sound design is top-notch, making every creak and whisper send shivers down your spine. 👀💀

The puzzles in this game are as intense as they are brilliant. It’s not just about scares; it's about using your wits to survive the supernatural challenges lurking around every corner. And the lore behind the curse? Absolutely gripping!

If you're a horror game enthusiast or just love a good scare, "The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation" is a must-play. But fair warning: make sure to keep the lights on because this game is not for the faint of heart! 😬🎮

🎬 Just watched the Taiwanese horror film 'Invitation Only' and OMG, my heart can't handle it! 😱💔 This movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! 🔪💀

🌟 The cinematography was chef's kiss and the plot was intense! It's a rollercoaster of emotions, y'all! 🎢

🚪 The concept of an exclusive party invitation turning into a nightmare is just chilling. You'll be questioning every RSVP you ever made! 😳💌

💥 The scares were so well-executed, and the suspense, AHHH! I couldn't even! 👻

If you're a horror fan, or just love a good scare, 'Invitation Only' is a must-watch! Trust me, you won't be able to sleep after this one! 😵😴
