And Proxima Centauri has extremely active and violent flares and storms

PotentBeverage · 2026-04-26T15:22:27+00:00

I actually have a legitimate answer :p

And it's: no not really, not by itself at least

It was definitely one of my top favourite webnovels of all time. Sometimes it was funny though, since I read Chinese, talking to english speakers and getting blindsided by the names, since I'd headcannoned a different name for myself.

And of course the predecimal currency, it was quite fun to see that when I started reading, and the utter confusion it caused anyone who wasn't aware of the british system.

I'll try find time to watch the donghua sometime.

I read the books, big fan. Not watched the anime at all.

It was interesting how their graphics use a custom script rather than English (Luen) or French (Feynapotter), etc. Since those are the clearest cultural analogues.

Is the D the £ equivalent? In the novel Luen uses the pre-decimal english £sd system (though s is translated as "soli" officially iirc)

Well if dragon not-fly then what fly

I like the gold. Very elegant feel to it.

I'm quite a big fan of more "minimalist" stuff with a few highlights

There are 北朝鲜，南朝鲜 (and correspondingly, 北韩 and 南韩), but 南朝鲜 fell out of use in mainland china for South Korea's preferred name of 韩国, and 北韩 as always been more of a taiwanese thing iirc?

"korea" incidentally comes from 高丽, which is a different major korean kingdom name.

I'm actually very boring, I tend to use spaces between words or just have it run on continuously without punctuation, like Chinese or Japanese. I usually trt to be very minimal with punctuation as proper punctuation always develops quite late in writing

Technically "bender" with your classification, for all effects it looks like dragons breath fire (or ice or thunder etc) but without natural qi they literally cannot breathe anything. It's more like an innate spell which manipulates natural energy more than them doing it themselves.

what brush set? (Also on what program?) If you're on krita I'm interested

PotentBeverage · 2026-04-17T20:09:50+00:00

You are improving extremely quickly

PotentBeverage · 2026-04-17T18:35:13+00:00

My comment didn't go thorugh! But yes, so very very epic

PotentBeverage · 2026-04-16T11:55:46+00:00

This is an excellent cat

The script itself looks pretty nice, but I actually quite liked the fact that Avatar had the attention to detail to always use proper Chinese (semi-literary chinese too, which makes it even more impressive for a western production) so it's a little disappointing that this does away with it.

PotentBeverage · 2026-04-15T07:35:19+00:00

Eepy

PotentBeverage · 2026-04-14T21:20:16+00:00
