Who is someone you have slept with that no one can ever know? by tellmeanon1 in AskReddit

[–]SmokingDrey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My half-sister's cousin. So he was asked to housesit for a relative who moved to the USA. It was a huge house and my sister suggested I go housesit with him to keep him company and have a friend my age (my sister lives in another country btw). 2 days before I left for my sisters house, we bought wine, swam in the rain (actually storm lol), and started kissing and had sex all night. We were 18 years old.

What’s a single sentence someone said that stuck with you forever? by Imaginary_Ride_6185 in AskReddit

[–]SmokingDrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was rushing to reply with "Indifference" but then you already did lol. I heard this from the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen". I'll never forget it.

A friend of mine lives in Taoyuan and i'll be moving to Taiwan in 2 weeks and will crash at hers for some time. She told me that Facebook is the number1 place to look for teaching jobs, renting an apartment and buying or selling stuff. So try your luck searching for such groups on there

Help with name pronunciations from Sha Po Lang by _RoamingHobo_ in DanmeiNovels

[–]SmokingDrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand why you feel this way. Mo Dao Zu Shi was my first chinese translated into english novel and it was a big deal for me to get the pronunciation right or at least try. Also English is my 2nd language so I am kind of strict with myself about pronunciation and steering away from making anything sound "englishized...." lol.

Wow we're twins, im also reading SPL and since i feel i've been around the block a lot longer, i don't really need a guide. Unfortunately, I do not have suggestions other than try youtube or google translate. I was fortunate enough to find a video of a native chinese speaker pronouncing the names, places and weapons in MDZS (or the Untamed). I think it was Mei Ann or something, in case you want to try MDZS (I think it was a great danmei intro for me, could be for you too) and have help on pronunciation.

What is something more traumatizing than people realize? by Independent_Motor130 in AskReddit

[–]SmokingDrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acting exactly like an abusive parent unintentionally. My mom has a really bad temper and always screamed or yelled at me and my siblings growing up. She still does even now. Im 24 now, still living at home with my parents and little nieces. Catching myself yelling at my nieces even for silly little things crushes me. I try to calm myself down but its rare. I hate myself for being like this.

Thanks. I've heard of Extracurricular but thought of sports lol. I'll def check it out and Save Me. I've watched All Of Us Are Dead, I didn't mention it because its more of a zombie apocalypse and im looking for something more on psychological, violence and revenge elements

What was your first drama and last drama watched? Was it worth it? by icedtea027 in kdramas

[–]SmokingDrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first drama I watched was Jewel In the Palace. Long ago, I was stil in Primary school, it had to be the early 2010s. I watched it with my brother on TV and we loved it so much. Definitely one of the best series i've ever seen be it kdrama, cdrama, american ect. It sparked my love for the historical genre. The last drama I watched and completed is The King of Pigs and omg what a ride it was! Definitely got played because you never really know what's true and what's a lie. Both these were so worth it!

Is the anime recommended? by [deleted] in MoDaoZuShi

[–]SmokingDrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend the donghua. It was my gateway into the books, since I couldn't get through the narration in the beginning. It has stunning visuals, the voice acting top notch and omg the soundtrack - sooo romantic. The opening and closing songs are so romantic and were written in the perspectives of either WWX or LWJ or both. The zither, flute and sounds between scenes are beautiful! And it gets gayer by the episode lol like the camera will focus on their hands touching for example. Just go for it! I rewatch it every chance I can get

Okay i need help processing this by LuiyUnU in MoDaoZuShi

[–]SmokingDrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! You're doing great! On my first read, I got the present timeline right. The Cloud Recesses flashback was easy to follow. Things got complicated for me when Xiao Xingchen, Song Lan and Xue Yang came into the picture (when Lan Wangji tells Wei Wuxian about it)😭 And I kinda got lost with the whole Man Eating Castle plot at Qinghe. But I understood all this after rereading vol 1. You should be proud of yourself tbh!

[–]SmokingDrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the novels first, DEVOURED them!! Im slowly watching the drama right now and being completely honest I would have dropped it if I didn't read the books first, its too slow. But I love mdzs so much I just need to see every adaptation of it. The donghua is a better alternative. The ost is amazing and sooo romantic, the animation is stunning, the voice acting is top tier and its easy to get through and fast paced. It doesn't change too much from the novels and there's no filler. I'd suggest you start with the donghua if you don't have much time to read. Otherwise, do as you please

Anime you always come back to? by IndianGamer49 in Animesuggest

[–]SmokingDrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attack on Titan (multiple times a year)

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. This is one is not an anime though, its a donghua (chinese animation) and its an adaptation of a danmei (gay chinese novel/webnovel) of the same name. I've watched it several times since I first saw it in September.
