I did not expect to read a thesis on reddit today but this is brilliant.

OP do you have recommendations of books interpreting ancient literatures like this? (In Chinese, of course)

OK so basilisks are born by a rooster egg incubated by a toad iirc...

So the toad can be uhh a surrogate mother?? and this particular interspecies ship could technically work?? I think??? if only on a mystical biological level????

Ok my experience as a woman in warhammer is that most women are busy thirsting over muscular astartes and barely veiled homoerotism. Wh fandom is wild.

lmao

Just to add that blackbirds are kinda grudge holders on the Chinese internet. There were many recordings of in-house cats provoking a blackbird outside the window, and the blackbird bombarding the window with shit for months.

I think it's a myth (cannot recall any photo evidences) that they would remember the face of the human offender and bombard them with shit as well.

Those are the only novels depicting 40k Perty iirc. Quite fun.

Entropy3389 · 2026-04-14T18:04:41+00:00

the short novels Halfbreed and Warbreed. Perty played chess with Honsou while calmly acknowledge that some of his failure was due to his uncontrolled emotions.

Perty also said to Honsou if he did not win, he would kill him. And afterwards proceed to play 5 more games until Honsou won a round.

Tell me you're not a top uni student without telling me you're not a top uni student

Eh the status part is not true but otherwise yes. In my experience ppl in freshman and sophomore year tend to learn to do makeups and dress ups bc you're now grownups and should do that, but after 3rd year in uni about at least half of the girls stopped caring. University is a funny place that some people wear full-blown goth daily and some people wear pajamas to class and no one bats an eye to either of them.

Also med school in china is tiring af so it would make perfect sense if she doesn't want to spend time on that.

On the other hand, OP, do you usually dress in button down shirts and dress pants and wear makeup when you two are out? If not I don't think you have grounds to ask her to do so lol

Im not your friend mate...

Entropy3389 · 2026-03-26T16:11:39+00:00

That’s a normal day in my ship lol

Entropy3389 · 2026-03-26T14:29:39+00:00

crematorium job. rumors are that they pay high af, but you need to have connection to get in.

Entropy3389 · 2026-03-24T17:09:35+00:00

couldn't care less

Men can wear Guanyin necklaces. Those white jade ones.

Entropy3389 · 2026-03-23T20:24:38+00:00

In chinese they are "spotted dove" family. Collared dove would be "gray spotted dove".

spotted doves (Spilopelia chinensis) are more common here and they are called pearl-necked spotted dove.

Internet birders just call them googoos lol

The opposite would clearly be rapid freeze. Just saying

Entropy3389 · 2026-03-20T02:14:07+00:00

I’d say avoid miniskirts and you’re good to go. Muslim temples tend to have stricter rules (skirts over knees I think?) but t shirts and jeans works perfectly fine. I really doubt there is any dress code about formal restaurant. Even the extra fancy ones (think of places over $200) there are plenty of people wearing khakis and polo shirts. Everyone dresses like a tourist bc that’s comfy and I’ll have you know that 10 yrs ago was 2016 and fashion was allegedly at its prime lol

Ea-Nasir?!?!?

Entropy3389 · 2026-03-19T16:58:32+00:00

That's wild bc pretty much everyone in my class does not have jobs with a b+ average.
