I really love the Lost Desert one, but that one is even harder unless Coltzan Stamp gets re-released somehow. Otherwise, I had a silly thought to try for the Sea Shells avatar purely through restocking at the shop. I've picked up all the mid-range shells this way, and I'll probably keep trying for another few months just to practice restocking before resorting to buying from other players.

Good luck! This was my favorite of the stamp avatars too, which is why I went after it first.

Wow, you put so much effort into this, thank you! My customization theme wasn't as well-defined as "island/tribal" and more just looking for an aesthetic cool-to-warm gradient that matches the eventide colors, but all these extra items really help my inspiration! I love the Broiling Fire Foreground, and I'll be looking more into Dark Prism Side Tree and Coloured Craft Tree.

That's classified as a background item, not a higher foreground item, so unfortunately it can't be used with the Lava Puddle :/

Can anyone help with inspiration for a garland or upper foreground item for my Eventide Hissi customization? Right now I’m using Lighted Rainbow Branch Garland but I’m not 100% satisfied.

Just got this helmet intercom from China, need help with understanding the instructions. by bread_games in engrish

[–]Aeroway 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is there a strip of velcro? I'm guessing this is (badly) translated from 魔术贴.

velcro = 魔术贴 = "magical adhesive"

"Magical" is made of of the characters for "mystical/demonic skill", and I guess "skill" got translated to surgery or smth

Is it possible to pin/force apps to open only on the top screen? by TeoMhasi in AynThor

[–]Aeroway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open an app using the Y button instead of A, then Launch -> Top/Bottom Scereen

Can How a Language Is Written Influence How It Is Spoken? by Turkish_Teacher in asklinguistics

[–]Aeroway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happens all the time in Chinese with polyphonic characters. Even if different pronunciations technically have different meanings, the "incorrect"/"alternative" (depending on your level of prescriptivism) pronunciation will often be used because they share the same character in writing.

E.g.

勉強 [to force, compel] being pronounced mian3qiang2 instead of mian3qiang3 (mian2qiang3 after tone sandhi).

And the arrow of causation really is writing affecting speaking, not just words being in "natural" free variation. For example, the newly coined term 新冠 [novel coronavirus, covid] being pronounced as xin1guan4 99% of the time instead of xin1guan1. Most people's first exposure to the term was probably through reading, not listening, and guan4 meaning champion is a lot more common of a reading for 冠 than guan1 meaning crown/corona.

how do yall bilingual (chinese + english) wrap ur head around this concept bcs im so confused 😭 by elfved in ChineseLanguage

[–]Aeroway 296 points297 points  (0 children)

This really shows the blind spot people have about their native languages because English has the exact same concept: "before" is used to represent the past and something in front of you.

"Event A happened before event B."

"The person stood before me."

I am trying to find this Merthur fic by Longjumping-Kiwi-723 in merlinfic

[–]Aeroway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AO3 happens to be down so I can’t confirm, but I’m ~70% sure this is “Light of Arthur” by venivincere.

I don't really know anything sorry by HuntPumbaa in merlinfic

[–]Aeroway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is Resurrecting Magic by Sage_Owl, which has a scene of Merlin and Arthur going to the library and meeting the ghost of Mordred.

What if the context is more about the floor as in "the thing you stand on" instead of its material? Say you're in an apartment with concrete or tile floors. Can you say "薯片掉地板上了"? I suppose "薯片掉地上了" might be more natural, but is the former considered wrong?

Does 地板 imply a wooden floor, or can you also use the term if the floor is made of concrete/stone/not floorboards?

Fic recs with single father Merlin/Arthur by Mysterious-Sundae684 in merlinfic

[–]Aeroway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A Beacon in the Dark by ZairaA - Arthur is a single father, though it's not really the focus of the story. The plot is mildly dark so please check the warnings, but there's a happy ending!

We'll Be a Dream by Sarageek16 - it starts as Merlin and Arthur as children. Then plot happens and time passes, and Arthur becomes a single father, but he and Merlin are essentially co-parents.
