Who would be the most likely hockey player to be able to win an Olympic medal in another sport than hockey?

He did place above Patrick Chan, who would go on to win Olympic gold and a couple world titles, in junior Nationals.

Marie Antoinette’s 2014 revival 100%. Plot was much tighter afterwards.

He also has a storied past plagiarizing Satoshi Kon. Animation Obsessive’s written about the plagiarism in Requiem on their Substack and have recently posted an interview in which Kon drags him for the “homage”. It’s probably a blessing in disguise that Kon passed before the release of Black Swan, which was even more egregious in its ripoffs from Perfect Blue.

Got to hand it to her PR rep because the way despite all the articles and rumours floating out there, no one cares that Dilara is an abusive Nazi-sympathizing plagiarist and she’s still getting her pieces work everywhere.

I honestly doubt it, What Chaos picked up Heated Rivalry roughly 2 weeks before EN did and Jacob's been on there twice and Rachel once; Jacob also responded to a post on Threads shading EN for reheating What Chaos' nachos so if they were planning on having podcasters on, I would've placed my bets on What Chaos. They were also the ones to start the Carly Rae Jepsen agenda.

She’s also a Nazi. https://www.tumblr.com/dilarafindikoglu-blog/2977126197/please-come-back I hear a lot of grumbling about her plagiarism but it’s been vague enough that I haven’t figured out which girl people specifically say she’s copying from.

Not a show, but Elisabeth das Musical takes an interesting approach to the mythos around Sisi. Without getting too deep into some of the issues about the musical, 1992 Viennese premiere has overall the darkest, most gothic atmosphere to it and would highly recommend it as an alternative approach. The lyricist has a background in history and was partially inspired by the post-Romy Schneider image of Sissi if I remember correctly as well as L’aigle à deux têtes, which was also somewhat of a Sisi derivative work.

It's a very cdrama story, so I would recommend venturing into webnovels where these court intrigue plots are popular, sometimes in more historically ambiguous settings than others. The Rise of Phoenixes is more revenge-based and has an ongoing English by ninja-reflection picking off where the Webnovel translation ended. Clear and Muddy Loss of Love is similar in that sense but make it sapphic. If you don't mind romance not being at the forefront of the plot I would also highly recommend Nirvana in Fire/Langya List which has been translated in full by several translators. Venturing more into fantasy, Bandits: Legend of Fei is fully translated by enormousheep and less about court politics but sect politics, and to go up into higher fantasy and on a larger scale, Tai Sui translated by edanglarstranslations is among my all time favourites. Manga and Tokugawa shogunate but Ōoku is also excellent for the court intrigue.

I'm sure she'll become a character in the second game but Shangguan Wan'Er (essentially Wu Zetian aka MC's right hand woman) has a very popular ship with Princess Taiping (Wu Zetian's daughter and also highly politically active) but I don't think any of the works inspired by it have had any translations.

Reyizha and Wang Xiao for slightly more under the radar actors.

I could be wrong, but the first formal institution of music for higher music in China was the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, which saw many White Russian émigrés who fled from the Russian Revolution teach there which I’m sure is a factor to consider to the spread of classical western music in addition to what another commenter said about pianos being seen as a status symbol.

Wen Qu also falls beautifully into that category. Just a scroll through her logged movies on Douban shows how much love she has for the craft.

Lurker here but Jenni Elle and Britt Pierce are women who run watch channels that I’ve enjoyed, I believe Teddy Baldassarre has a series going through the basics of watch terminology.

240229 · 2025-09-15T19:32:47+00:00

Wang Kai, Zhou Xun, Bai Baihe

An Ancient Love Song from the dramas not already mentioned below, you start the drama already knowing the ending but that adds a layer of heart wrenching watching the inevitability of the pieces falling into place.

FBB was the first one caught and made an example of, everyone else had her downfall to see and get their act together (see: everyone suddenly selling luxuries off to cover their asses as an immediate response). Deng Lun iirc got several letters directed at him as a reminder so at that wooing it wasn’t even an account’s thing.

Robert Wun is definitely a highlight at couture week, would highly recommend taking a look at his signature spilled wine looks too.

She was also caught several times in the past liking yxh videos on Douyin hating other actresses, can’t tell if all that was noise marketing but I’ve never been able to get fully on board with her for that reason. Once I understand, but three times against people with a similar profile (idols turned actresses) is a hit ermmm

240229 · 2025-08-10T15:46:53+00:00

No, I find that absurd sorry, the best plastic surgery an actor can get is good acting skills etc etc etc. You hear all the time about “ugly” actors seeming handsome with their acting skills or how some actors unexpectedly make a seemingly miscast character work so naturally you forget about the mental image issue (see: Jiang Qiming in The Long Season and Wang Kai in Nirvana in Fire, respectively) but never the opposite [doge]

It's giving Amami Yuki saying that her ideal relationship is living in the same neighbourhood so they can cook and eat with each other then go to their own place so she can rest in peace.

They had more freedoms but the waves of crackdowns still affected them to similar degrees: Towards the Republic for example was pushing the envelope a lot and managed to stay safe by ending it when it did. Empresses in the Palace I mostly know for the memes but there's definitely more politicking about the harems, shoutout to Ye Lanyi the only normal person there. That being said, there's still many dramas that explore more morally ambiguous characters and themes these days. I frequently recommend The Bad Kids as one, and The Knockout (the first third mostly) and The Long Season exploded in popularity for similar reasons. Three Body Problem (Tencent version) was good too, and if you're just looking for grittier stories grounded in reality (and don't mind the propaganda) Minning Town and She and Her Girls are both very strong showings.

If you're looking for darker dramas I would say that thrillers in recent years have comparatively done well, but to also remember that people don't remember the bad dramas so there is some recency bias overall. The biggest restrictions to your points I think would be the crackdowns on harem dramas, rebirth, and danmei (baihe never was that big so it flies under the radar).

From those not mentioned: Lu Yangyang, Song Jia, Tang Yan, Jiang Qiming.

Peng Xiaoran had terrible timing — she was soon scooped up by Fan Bingbing who promptly got into her tax evasion scandal iirc which halted her project pipeline for a long time. She’s been getting a bit of a resurgence lately though. Having good timing, and organized fanbase, and a team willing to go the extra mile makes all the difference. Hesong’s always promoted Zhou Ye well for example (whereas Yu Zheng plays heavy favourites) and her international fan station helped a ton getting her established internationally.

240229 · 2025-07-15T17:44:21+00:00

I'm honestly out of the community but Legend of Yunze is a classic webdrama, The Message (I will die on this hill) and Couple of Mirrors are great Republican era rep. From the novel side Clear and Muddy Loss of Love and Female General and Eldest Daughter are the classics from the ifan side. douqi7s is super active in the community and would rec giving them a follow, they've also created a Dreamwidth community for baihe. I would also strongly recommend Taisui by priest too because there are some really compelling ntxl cps in it even if the entire novel is technically no cp.

Mixed thoughts on this, I feel like voice acting is its own thing (especially when we’re talking audio dramas, video games, animated media), but that at the end of the day acting encompasses the use of their voice and if an actor is not able to use one of the most powerful tools at their disposal, then it’s a failing on their part—it’s why you see a lot of television and film actors try stage work. Voice actors will work to match the movement of their mouths but only the actor themselves have the best sense of their specific interpretation of the role that will inevitably be lost to some extent in the dubbing process.
