My Chinese #cql stan mum texted me today about where #LanSizhui's name is from - a saying that goes 思君不可追, 念君何时归.

Means roughly, thinking (思) of a gentleman/lord (君) but cannot pursue/chase/follow (追), missing (念) but (not knowing) when (何时) will return (归).

@3ysz_

of interest to you perhaps, hope I didn't butcher that
@yesterday_ying saw your breakdown of JL's name, and thought of this!
Which, damn, Wangji... that's some peak pining...
Just to clarify that’s missing as in “I miss you” not missing as in “lost and can’t be found”.

I mean, all his faces when he looks at NMJ (even when threatened with death) are just... ImageImageImageImage

So my Spotify randomly decided to show me this chinese pop song... 🤣 the chorus is adorable - “You are you are my little apple”. It’s upbeat and #wangxian as hell

One of the lyrics is “turn myself into a candle and light myself to give you light” askdjdkd

Why do a lot of translations/fanfics keep saying 'this one'? Never seen that in English subs/ translations in my life - is it something the ER translation does? What’s the chinese equivalent? I get 'this disciple' / ‘this gentleman’ 这名弟子/ 这位公子or another noun. I’m confused
@3ysz_ @fanyiyi33 @quigonejinn @yesterday_ying whoever else speaks Chinese
@soursoppi ?

what my #CQL stan mother thinks of different ships from #TheUntamed - a thread
#wangxian

1st time: "Why do these two keep staring at each other? Do they have a bromance? Why don't they tell each other?"

Now: "It's very hard to even find a really good friend, if you can find a 知己 zhiji (soulmate) like LWJ and WWX, does it matter if they are same gender?"
#xiyao

Insists it's canon and that they're madly in love. Pointed out the hand-touch scene at CR, the "er-ge, die together with me" scene at Guanyin Temple. "A-yao should just be good, don't do evil, elope with his Xichen and be happy"

Final Verdict: "LXC too good for ah yao"

I have a lot of emotions about my #CQL / #TheUntamed stan mother - a thread
First of all, she's a 60 something, chinese, conservative, boomer lady. Growing up, she was very anti-queer. She still doesn't know about me. I don't tell her. She's a lot like Madam Yu (and unfortunately I turned out somewhat like Jiang Cheng), so you can imagine my childhood.
I remember having an argument about whether being gay was inherent or a choice with her and the shouting match that ensued. She can tolerate them as a broad concept of "these are people who exist elsewhere" but in her own culture, community or family, that would be unacceptable.
