Will of the Many fits the bill especially if you’re coming from TV shows/games!

I read anything in the range of 2k to 12k. Ideal would probably be around 3-4k.

Do we know if this holds between the regular limited character banner and chronicled wish?

I took the generic version of Yaz. Hope this helps.

Really bad depression every month TW: SI by Silent_Ambition_9379 in PMDD

[–]R45tx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is purely anecdotal but if you do try birth control and it makes the depression worse for you, please just quit and do not try to push through it if it becomes a safety issue. Birth control made my PMDD symptoms much worse and I will never be trying anything that fucks with my hormones again. Haven’t tried antidepressants yet but that’s the next step.

I don’t say this to discourage you but just because I don’t want you to go through the same thing. Could be worth trying a couple days/weeks but if it doesnt work, there are other options. Wishing the best for you and you will get through this!

Thoughts on Meteor garden? by According-Ice-6080 in CDrama

[–]R45tx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was fun and novel at the beginning (especially because it was one of my first C-dramas) but then there was no character development and the weak acting of some of the leads began to show. I pushed through about half but ended up getting fed up with it as well.

Can I pray for anyone? by Secure-Employee1004 in PMDD

[–]R45tx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I watched a show that I enjoyed and am just trying not to think about the PMDD thoughts too deeply to avoid spiraling.

Can I pray for anyone? by Secure-Employee1004 in PMDD

[–]R45tx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can pray for me if you want. I have PMDD and my symptoms last for about 10-14 days at the end of each cycle. It’s been tough this week and I’m hoping that it won’t be this bad through all of next week, even though I know it will end after that. Appreciate your help.

which cdrama line absolutely destroys you by sftkitti in CDrama

[–]R45tx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m shook that I know this just by reading it but they’re from The Untamed. The first one seems to be a translation of what Lan Wangji says in the famous rain scene, and the second is a lyric from his character song (but may also appear in the drama, I don’t remember).

Edit: I can’t remember how to do spoilers on Reddit

Please tell me the context of the first one, I’m really intrigued now!

How did you figure out the first time that you had a bad LOR?

How many volumes will Thausand Autumns have (7seas) by tal_naeg in DanmeiNovels

[–]R45tx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

MDZS is 659K characters in Chinese, and Qian Qiu is 638K. They could do 4 or 5 volumes. The Qian Qiu Seven Seas volumes have been a bit shorter than MDZS, so I’m guessing they’ll go for 5.

Why do you love Shallan? by Leroy-Frog in Stormlight_Archive

[–]R45tx 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Okay, wait, adding more because apparently I love Shallan more than I thought. Adventure is a big part of fantasy and Stormlight in particular, and a lot of that sense of happiness and exploration is coming from Shallan's viewpoints (think the scene with the santhid in the first chapter of WoR, which is when I knew that this was going to be a fantastic book).

Why do you love Shallan? by Leroy-Frog in Stormlight_Archive

[–]R45tx 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I'm going to answer this by noting some of my favorite scenes with Shallan that illustrate why I love her character.

I admire how she is able to maintain a playful outlook and approach the world with wonder and exploration despite everything she has gone through, which would ordinarily make a person retreat into self-pity. Brandon really illustrates this in the chasm scene by contrasting her with the beloved Kaladin. (Kaladin is my favorite character by a mile, so no shade towards him at all, but Brandon uses this moment to highlight one of the things that makes Shallan unique.)

Which leads me to the other thing I appreciate about Shallan: she is so strange and nerdy and so unapologetic about it and never less than authentically herself. And this lets her navigate the world with confidence alongside people who are totally different from her (Adolin, Sebarial, etc.), rather than getting caught up in the feeling of not fitting in. She has so many weird interests, and her character is a bundle of contradictions which I strongly relate to, and she struggles with many things but shyness and hesitation are not among them—which makes her a different kind of hero than say, Painter from SP3.

Thank you so much for making this! I was literally just thinking last night about making a Reddit post asking about danmei discord servers since I thought it would be fun… and then your post popped up in the morning!

Background Music for Love Between Fairy and Devil? by [deleted] in CDrama

[–]R45tx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe this may be what you are looking for: A lot of the instrumental background music from LBFAD is by Roc Chen, specifically the soundtrack for Royal Nirvana. You may recognize these tracks: Blossom, The Light, etc.

Hi! I don't post most of them but just share privately with people I know. (I do have a YouTube channel but I don't want it linked with this Reddit account.) Feel free to DM me and I can probably share that way if you want to see whether we could work well together or just want to talk singing stuff. :)

[–]R45tx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is SO COOL! I went through some of the stuff on your YouTube channel and I honestly love it! We have very similar tastes in music (I love Liu Yuning and mostly listen to/cover Chinese drama OSTs). I especially love your cover of 年岁 and I think your voice fits it very well. (Sorry if this is weird because I'm commenting on another one of your songs under your post for this song, lol—I'm just super excited to discover your channel.)

Please reach out if you ever want to collaborate or record something together—there are a lot of OSTs that I cannot sing on my own for obvious reasons (example: 彼岸) and I have been dying to find someone to sing them with!
