The scale of MXTX characters hand writing from Worst to Best

Hua Cheng: literally intelligible, those basically aren't even words any.

Wei wuxian: the equivalent of a sleep deprived adhd stem student notes right before an exam. Technically legible but only to him, people who know him really well.

Luo Binghe: it's good. Not outstanding but Nicely legible, pretty when it needs to be.

Shen Qingqiu: technically there's nothing wrong with his hand writing, but His writing is too modern for the Xianxia settings he's living in and although it's not too much of a problem it's definitely enough to make peoples eyebrow raise.

Xie Lian: stunningly beautiful calligraphy. Truly just art in written form.

Lan wangji: the most beautiful and technically perfect hand writing you have everything seen. Calligraphy teachers weap with joy when they see his writing.

#i dont know what this is #its just something that appeared in my mind #im not entirely sure how different modern Chinese handwriting would be from historical calligraphy #but based on my understanding of written language evolution as a rule i theres theres probably some noticable difference #which would trip up shen yuans modern ass #:P #mxtx characters #mxtx mdzs #mxtx #mxtx tgcf #mxtx svsss #hua cheng #wei wuxian #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #luo binghe #xie lian #lan wangji #scum villian self saving system #scum villain #mo dao zu shi #grand master of demonic cultivation #heaven official's blessing #tian guan ci fu #shit post

My handwriting in five languages

English | Burmese | Korean | Chinese | Japanese

I don't have the most beautiful handwriting but I love writing on paper with a pen!! my fav is black in because I feel cooler. The sentences are from books I had around.

my fav handwriting is definitely my Burmese handwriting. Look at those round things go!!!

my favorite language to practice writing in is Chinese. The hanzi (or kanji/hanja) feels so nice. It's like meditation

my favorite language to actually write things in is Korean. Maybe because now I'm fluent in a language other than Burmese and English. While writing long essays in Korean, I can FEEL my brain unlocking things.

least favorite language to write in is japanese. My brain has to switch gears from simplified chinese characters to traditional chinese characters to japanese chinese characters. maybe it'll get easier if I get to like N1 but right now, it's ugh. I love hiragana but I'm going to have an enemies to lovers arc with katakana. I can feel it.

i was drawing dirk, thought a bit too hard about chinese dirk, went to the chinese wiki and the chinese translation of hs to pick out how they translated prince of heart (心靈之王子) and destroyer of souls (靈魂的摧毀者) and this happened. i think the words took me longer than the actual drawing

#homestuck #dirk strider #prince of heart #artists on tumblr #torpor #mutuals who are more fluent in chinese than i am... please ignore this xx thanks #my chinese handwriting is ass i swear

There was a post that crossed my dash about the character for dream meng/mung6 (don't know which drama) but some dude got in trouble for using 14 strokes instead of the 13 stroke version of the character. Which got me thinking... I'm pretty sure I learned the 14 stroke version where it looks like grasshopper antennae on top instead of a bar.

So I decided to look it up while using both version for today's learning/practice. Using both a watercolor brush and a fountain pen with mini-bent nib today.

Parts:

grass hair

4

a hat

the 'going down' part of sunset (夕陽)

Apparently it's once again down to regional differences. The tufts of hair was used in HK and Taiwan (probably old gen only now) and is the older traditional version. The one where the hair is a whole piece is used in like... China and Japan.

So this makes me wonder why that character in that drama (idk what drama) was penalized for writing the word using a character style that would have been period appropriate in a costume drama? The connected crown is newer. :O

And now with Simplied, they grew a forest instead of hair, threw away the hat and let the sun set. So imagery-wise I'm getting.... dream = sun setting as a forest grows darker and darker. I kinda like that.

Bonus juk6gan2 肉緊 which I have been told is indeed outdated slang, so I'M BRINGING IT BACK. Cantonese for 'meat tight' = THE TENSION YOU FEEL WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH CUTE AGGRESSION.

However, if you reverse the order to 緊 肉 then it means "tight muscles". Like you haven't stretched enough and things are stiff. I have no idea if this is how it's used in mandarin. Feel free to let me know. not used this way in mandarin

Question: What's the use difference when both 夕 (alone) and 夕陽 ? Since both mean sunset...? Answered!

Re-watching the donghua of Thousand Autumns brings back all the feels. I once draw them before referencing the English translation book cover so now I wanna try doodle the donghua’s version of Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi!

So! I wanted to see if i could write in Japanese in a gothic-calligraphy-like hand.

(forgive the orange highlighter, it was the only chisel-tip writing ustensil on the entire floor)

epic reading below:

originally, this seemed like a challenge, for a few reasons:

English is very simple, so you are able to embellish a lot. Japanese is not, so you can't really embellish/if you do, they could be confused for other strokes and therefore other kanji.

Japanese has plenty of diagonal strokes, while English does not. And with the technique used in this sort of calligraphy, you can't really make them look very interesting.

And above all, In the english logo of Attack on Titan, they use a really cool gothic-like font, so i was interested to see how they did the Japanese logo, but it wasnt similar at all (not very interesting in its own sense either). Which made it seem like it's just not possible. Which made it more of a challenge. (also note that i have never watched or read aot):

Now, Japanese and English are two entirely different languages. Even just written in the blandest, most boring font with a ballpoint pen, they give off completely different vibes, aesthetically.

Typical/Traditional calligraphy for each also give off different vibes, though there are similarities:

However, some fonts/lettering/calligraphy can look pretty similar when effort is put in:

So, i decided to finally try it out for real today and totally not avoid my English assignment rather than simply attempting to doodle a word here or there half-heartedly.

also, i did do some embellishments, which may make it hard to read if you actually know Japanese, but it does that in English too so lol. I did refrain from doing too many, though.

So, to compare the Japanese to the English in the gothic font side by side, it'd look like this:

(i edited the colouring bc orange highlighter is just way to hard to read). Now, the Japanese is pretty unreadable compared to the English, but I figured that was in-part due to the English having space and lower+upper case, so i did another English version where everything is capitalized:

(i ran out of room and had to tape a second paper to it haha). But as you can see, pretty hard to read to (and it would be even harder without the spaces).

So Anyways, do you think the gothic Japanese gives off similar vibes to the English gothic?? how'd i do?

1, 4, 28, 38, 42

1.Do they have any crafting hobbies? Erina doesnt really stick to one craft long enough to be a hobby, will buy all the things needed to do knitting/needlefelt/sewing but then get distracted and leave it on the shelves LOL or get really invested in finishing ONE thing and then thats enough-- She does enjoy scrapbooking though!

4.Do they enjoy baking? LOL not really i mean its a lot of hassle and clean up which erina dislikes to dooo, also erina is not very skilled in it and tends to want to eyeball things then measure <3 is more of a, buys the pillsbury premade stuff to pop in the oven ^_^ lazy but yummy

28.Are they a #gamer? Erina likes games but not hardcore, likes mostly cozy/nintendo 4 the cuteness (grew up with pokemon and harvest moon type of kid) or narrative games that arent boxed into one genre... has a switch. not super into competitive gaming requiring a lot of skill LOL (is prone to malding lmao....) right now IM playing disco elysium so erina can also be playing disco elysium

38.What are their dreams like? Do they have any recurring dreams/nightmares? Hmmm it's a mixed bag, sometimes theyre wacky and make no sense where she is going from one place to another minecraft creative mode style weeee with scenarios changing every 5 seconds , other times its a lot of oh no im back in school because i have one class i never finished!! often she had dreams about receiving affection from people who are no longer in her life because of her loveless touch starvedness life and it would make her very sad... these transform into osomatsu love dreams eventually tho when they get close and they no longer become so bad

42.Can they speak multiple languages? If yes which all do they speak and why? Yesss erina can speak japanese mostly living in japan but is originally born in the US and goes back from time to time so she can speak english, and also is taiwanese ethnically, knows basic conversational in mandarin from living with her parents... erina not very good at it ,can mostly understand other people speaking
