Omg so in China "ruining a soldier's marriage" is a jailable crime but I just saw a case where a soldier wants to sue his wife for having an affair...except it's with a woman, so if he wants the charge to stick the state has to legally recognize same-sex relationships 😭😭
I highly, highly doubt it would happen or that the case would even go to court but IMAGINE if same-sex partnerships get recognized in China just so they can jail this woman for wrecking a soldier's home 😭😭😭

IMAGINE IF THIS WAS HOW IT HAPPENED
and yes if you mess around with a PLA soldier's spouse they WILL throw you in jail

article about it: scmp.com/news/people-cu…
A man in China has been sentenced to 10 months in prison for destroying a “military marriage” by dating and cohabiting with the wife of a serving People’s Liberation Army (PLA) soldier. China’s Criminal Law stipulates that anyone cohabiting or marrying another person knowing that he or she is the spouse of a PLA soldier will face imprisonment of up to three years. The punishment is so harsh because the state is obliged not only to give special protection to the marriage of a soldier but also to respect and protect the honour of serving members of the military, according to China’s Nationa...

Totally forgot cheese isn't really a thing in most of China and it's absolutely wild to read a thread full of people going "I thought cheese would be so delicious by the way Tom and Jerry ate it on TV but when I had it for real for the first time I was so disappointed : ("
Come to think of it I legit don't think my grandparents have ever tasted cheese
User 1: "It was a bit sour, with a very heavy taste and kept making me suspect if it'd gone bad. I thought the first time was a fluke, then I went to McDonald's and got a cheeseburger and confirmed that I do not like it" Image

So. Thread about the Zachary Ying audiobook:

Turns out my publisher got a Japanese VA to narrate it, which means ALL the Mandarin in it is wrong. I didn't find this out until after its release bc I was never sent samples of the audiobook in progress or any preview of it 1/9
I'm pretty annoyed bc when my publisher first sent me a list of four candidates to choose from, I instantly suspected they were all either Japanese or Korean, so I asked if any of them were native Mandarin speakers, bc there's a LOT in the book so that's rather important 2/9
My publisher assured me all the candidates can handle Mandarin, so I was like uhhh okay and just chose the voice that seemed most suitable for Zack 3/9

Biggest lie I ever believed about publishing was that it's a meritocracy and good books will inevitably get attention lol
Through the traditional means of entry to publishing, Iron Widow was judged as only having the potential to sell a few thousand copies 2/?
I am acutely aware that if I had never gotten mad at a Disney movie, the same text now hitting bestseller lists every week and being shortlisted for an unbelievable number of awards would've barely made a blip 3/?
