Get to know me better meme thingy:
Tagged by @fenrhi (several days ago ;__; dw, I’m not dead, even if my queue is)
Favorite color: it’s probably a cliché, but I really can’t choose … I’m into vibrant reds and yellows rn because of a project I’m (supposed to be) working on, but my love of a color always depends on its relationship with at least one other color
Currently reading: Witch Hat Atelier (things are heating up in the Coco/Agott fandom), No Home (did anyone see that lovely animated promo from Korean Webtoon? I hoped for a hot sec that they were licensing it in English, but ig it’s just for an audio drama or smthn), various Webtoon titles I’m not super attached to yet
Last series I watched: The Boys (s1-2, still haven’t started s3). Somehow the edgy grimy Superheroes Bad show that tormented Tumblr users with an inescapable ad on the homepage a while back is … actually pretty good? I don’t love the show’s overall aesthetic (holy excessive color grading, Batman) and definitely had to avert my innocent virgin eyes during a couple particularly gross scenes, but the satire is really pointed and funny. Maybe it just caught me at a time when I’m feeling particularly disdainful towards superhero media and my country, idk.
Last movie I watched: The Others (2001), only bc I saw an interesting video essay about it. If you like vibey psychological horror without any blood/gore you’ll probably enjoy this film too
Currently working on: :/ stuff that I still feel isn’t good enough to inflict on the world, when I’m not just staring off into the middle distance and listening to Carly Rae Jepsen 5+ hours a day just to feel something
I will tag @hirazuki and @nomadicism :)

I need to get caught up on MXTX books - I'm on book 3 of MDZS (I know, horror, energies have been low)
But I love how MXTX writes her characters. Even when they are vile or villains, you find something to like.
Especially when the main heroes attempt to do something and it'll bite them in the ass later in life is just *chefs kiss*
With TGCF s2 freshly out, Xie Lian hiding the truth from the prince or taking the blame ended up biting him in the ass harder than he would've anticipated. I can understand why but at the same time WHY? (The prince deserves to know the truth, although it hurts)
Shen Yuan tries his hardest to change the life of Luo Binghe but this system that got him into that world is working against him. Example:
Shen Yuan: Oh, I can change this!
System: You have to do the thing:)
Shen Yuan: Are you kidding me?!
And in MDZS, Wei Wuxian embraces dark cultivation and the world supports him and enables him but when it no longer suits them, they start putting all the blame on him and refusing to take any accountability.
A lot of characters in these novels are morally gray and I love it - it gives them depth I rarely see in modern media - when they are in modern media, people can't handle them.

**Bulk Release** Copper Coins Audio Drama S2 Eps 9, 10, 10.6 and 11-END English Subbed
Hello everyone~~!! ^o^
Today’s announcement is very special~
We have a bulk release of 4 episodes!!
Copper Coins Audio Drama S2 Ep 9, 10, 10.6 (minitheatre- Black Bird) and 11 (last episode) are now available~~!!
Aand with this, we've finished subbing ALL episodes of both seasons of Copper Coins Audio Drama as well!!!
In other words, the story in audio drama format is now complete~! So, don't waste even a second! Join our server and grab the files and watch and hear this amazing story~! ^o^
*********
Thank you:
Translating and subtitling 2 whole seasons of this audio drama, with ~30-40 min per episode along with the ED songs, has been a huuuge task and a lot of people have been involved in making this possible. I wish to sincerely thank them all for helping me make this happen.
Firstly, nucleatedrbc, who introduced me to Mu Su Li's novel Copper Coins and also this AD of it and also translating a few of its episodes.
Translators- Luuna, radishtears, iarrod, Nez, Bread (from Suibian Subs).
From our group- fierychiffon, Nagi, yukirayu (for proofreading ep 11 and helping fetch CN subtitles)
Subtitlers who put in a lot of time and effort in timing all the lines to the audio - Heavel Hazel (Suibian Subs), Shinkisara and ghostvalley.
Lastly, I wish to especially thank our translator stormy for sticking with this project and providing translations for the entire of S2 and also many episodes of S1. Without her, we wouldn't have been able finish this AD.
There still are 3 minitheatres left of this audio drama that we are currently working on. We'll probably share them in another bulk release as soon as they get completed.
It has been a blast working on this audio drama and this story will always be very special for me because after MDZS, this was the story I read fully. Mu Su Li is a wonderful author and if you like stories which have adventure, historical setting, humorous characters and situations, little sprinkles of slice-of-life, drama and sweet moments all over, this story is definitely worth a try. There are lots of fun moments, lots of moments that make you think, lots of moments that can also make you sad. All in all, this story is a wonderful package of a journey of a proud, arrogant, but good at heart dragon, his encounter with a humble, quiet and compassionate monk and their journey together. Along the way, they make acquaintances who become very important over the course of their journey. Meetings are fated as is the case for them in this story.

I was going to make a case for a mdzs!tma au but then it came to me, tgcf!tma
Spoilers for both series under the cut. Major spoilers. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Xie Lian who is Jun Wu's version of Jonah Magnus's Jon. Someone puppeteered to be touched by ever major fear.
Xie Lian's The Buried? See Guoshi Fangxin being buried
Xie Lian's The Corruption? Human-Face disease
Xie Lian's The Dark? Not seeing the sun for a century would do it.
Xie Lian's The Desolation? When his temples and statues were destroyed, his legacy torn and burned.
Xie Lian's The End? He has truly been surrounded by so, so much death.
Xie Lian's The Eye? His very public fall from grace.
Xie Lian's The Flesh? Also Human Face disease! And all the other body horror he's seen in general.
Xie Lian's The Hunt? Bai Wuxiang chasing him down and swooping in when he's most vulnerable. Also just. His own monster of the week hunting.
Xie Lian's The Lonely? Remember when he said a malovent spirit tried to drive him mad and Xie Lian welcomed it because it was some company? Yeah.
Xie Lian's The Slaughter? "It hurts."
Xie Lian's The Spiral? The amount of times he has been made to doubt his own mind. (Re: When Xie Lian considered that Bai Wuxiang could be his own soul).
Xie Lian's The Stranger? Bai Wuxiang.
Xie Lian's The Vast? He's always made to feel insignificant.
Xie Lian's The Web? Once again, Bai fucking Wuxiang and Jun Wu.
Honorable mention to The Extinction being the human face disease (notably when XL was ready to unleash it)
I know that the fears back then were probably not as concrete as when tma is set but i just thought it was interesting! I could totally see a modern au of this too at the good old Magnus Institute. If Jonah Magnus takes over the body of a Chinese man is that him being lowkey racist?
Also when Jon went all paranoid in s2 and drove everyone away- XL after his first banishment. I can see it so clearly I swear.
Also, Hua Cheng was touched by the fears too;; right? Completely unintentionally. (Buried: Mount Tonglu, Corruption: Butterflies maybe? could also just he HFD again, Dark: He's probably spent years hidden in temples without a candle so he doesn't get caught, Desolation: 33 gods, End: He's died like;;; thrice? good enough, Eye: probably being bullied for his eye and wanting people to stop looking at him so he can disappear or how he could only watch as people drove a blade into xl's chest, Flesh: He tore his eye out and put in a sword for heaven's sake and just;;; ghost city vendors, Hunt: He's got that Prey turned Predator smugness, Lonely: Must I explain this., Slaughter: Tonglu probably but he's seen a lot more than that, Spiral: Def has been on the verge of going insane multiple times and doubting his memories, Stranger: ghosts shenanigans prolly, Vast: Falling at the parade, Web: he created his own trap for the 33 gods).
So this royally fucks up plans and boom love wins.
