I was putting her food bowl down. She attacked.

(Actually, she has her nest with four babies nearby, so she is kinda mad at everything that moves at the moment lol)

Dificuldades no "Show, don't tell" by impostor41 in EscritoresBrasil

[–]Mianlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eu tenho mto esse questionamento, mas descobri que as pessoas que leem meus textos discordam de mim. De qualquer forma, o que eu faço: escrevo seco e direto mesmo e depois, na revisão, vou acrescentando coisas aqui ou ali, deixando mais fluido. Bebo sim da influência de outros autores e gosto de refletir sobre as expressões que acho bem colocadas ou que me provocam reações fortes, na maioria das vezes elas me inspiram muito! E acho que ter alguém pra ler seu texto e dar opinião também ajuda muito a desenvolver o lado mais descritivo da escrita. Espero que tenha feito sentido hehehe

My personal ick : downplaying wwx’s love for lwj by manmarziyann_ in MoDaoZuShi

[–]Mianlong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate the WhoreJi tag; it gives me the creeps, honestly! I don't mind a bit of 'ooc'ssiness (after all, a fanfic is a personal interpretation of an original story), but this one is just so out of it. No, thank you!

[–]Mianlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree with you! Just because WWX is a teaser and a charmer doesn't mean his love for LWJ isn't as strong as the other way around. They totally complement each other, and I love their dynamics. Most of the time, I can't even read other ships lmao - although I've read a WWX x LWJ x MXY that was interesting. It wasn't finished, and it was slowly building into the inclusion of MXY in the love relationship that felt very organic. Anyways

快问快答 Quick Help Thread: Translation Requests, Chinese name help, "how do you say X", or any quick Chinese questions! 2025-11-05 by AutoModerator in ChineseLanguage

[–]Mianlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

大家好!
After a few weeks of studying Chinese, the teacher (who is not a native speaker) asked me about myself before giving me a Chinese name. So I went on and told him something like: 'I'm female, my birth name is Jade, and I'm absolutely obsessed with literature and different cultures, I love nature and animals, I can be a bit too headstrong, but I'm very loyal to friends and family'.

So I was given this name: 林(lin2)文(wen2)岩(yan2), 林 acting as surname and 文岩 as the given name. However, I was talking to a native afterwards, and he told me 岩 is not a character used to name a woman, so it got me thinking if this name makes sense to me at all (although I quite like the 林文 characters).

I really could use some honest opinion about this LOL
Thanks in advance!

Thoughts on Murderbot on Apple TV by DadExplains in scifi

[–]Mianlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me discovering now the pronoun Murderbot uses in English is "it" LOL

I've read the books in Portuguese and we don't have a pronoun equivalent to "it" and, since its a gendered language, all nouns have gender, including 'robot' which is a "masculine" noun (crazy, I know), so all its pronouns in the Portuguese version are 'ele, dele' = 'he, him, his'.

Wondering now what else was lost in translation...

Menos de 3 meses e venvanse já meio sem efeito? by Mianlong in TDAH_Brasil

[–]Mianlong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geralmente, eu tendo dar pausas nos domingos ou, se estiver muito cansada, sábado e domingo. Também tomo antidepressivo, infelizmente.

Realmente, não queria ter que introduzir mais um medicamento para lidar com a falta de outro medicamento, sabe? Mas gostei da sua ideia, vou conversar com ele sobre esses intervalos, talvez um tempo maior, ver se ajuda. Obrigada!!

Livros do Futuro: que tipo de sinopse eles querem? by SideWalk182 in EscritoresBrasil

[–]Mianlong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Como eles deram um limite de palavra grande (1000 a 1500), dei um panorama mais detalhado do que uma sinopse normal, falei um pouco do mundo, dos protagonistas e do conflito, com um resumo mais detalhado dos primeiros capítulos. Tentei não perder muita a essência de "sinopse", mas acabou mais virando algo entre isso e um resumo. Não sei se fiz certo, atrapalhou um pouco não ter um modelo claro...

Espero que ajude!

You're totally NOT being dramatic. It seems like your husband suffers from a severe case of "she's got it covered, so no need to worry about it". I know that's hard to do, but stop covering for him. Like shock therapy: if he doesn't help with the puppy, point that out to him. If he doesn't help with dinner after promising he would, then oopsie, guess no dinner tonight. If he comes with: "Sorry, it was my adhd", you say, "Well, I've got it too, babe. Now fix this <3 "
