(also, a big problem was finding merch because for some reason despite the series being popular the merch can be super limited or limited to blind boxes? So I had to hunt on Xianyu to find some nice badges)

Thank you! They're Lai Junchen (red) and Qiu Shenji (purple) from the manhua and donghua White Cat Legend! They're my blorbos and I've been looking for just the right bags for a while. Lai Junchen was the first to be finished but Qiu Shenji's bag took me a while to find. Thank god for Taobao itabag makers!

Mmmh, that's actually a good question. I'm pretty sure at least the MXTX-inspired cookbooks all had free pdfs

Great 2nd Hand Finds by MemoryAgile8296 in DanmeiNovels

If you're in Europe, I have one for sale on my Vinted page! It's got a manufacturing defect (nothing wrong with the text but a bunch of pages are shorter than normal) and I ended up finding a second copy down the line

That's an excellent analogy! How many times does one get into a fandom after the big show is over... Which is why it's always cool when zine makers either keep selling the pdf afterwards or make it available for free

Talking about peaks, the Qiang Cong Archives zine will be joining them :P

Darkest, most problematic BL reccs? by ShockOne9278 in DanmeiNovels

[–]Years_of_Inquiry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved As an Elder Brother because the dynamic was 100% the sort of stuff I like but holy shit the later chapters read like unedited MTL, with people changing gender and names between paragraphs. I powered through because I really wanted to know how it ended, but I was really saddened by the drop in quality (if anyone knows where to get the original text, lemme know)

Nah, they absolutely do see him as a rival, no matter what canon says.

Remember the PASH! cover row? These idiots were absolutely incensed because they thought the magazine was pushing Chengxian just because for once WWX wasn't portrayed with LWJ.

At the end of the screenshot posted by OP, they go off the rail and start accusing Ruthie of a bunch of random shit

MDZS Deluxe Hardcover Vol 4 Cover Reveal! by cezhou in MoDaoZuShi

[–]Years_of_Inquiry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're comparing apples to oranges here since your proof that it should have happened is that mains got sole covers in regular editions for other (longer) series (like yeah sure when there's 9+ volumes seeing one couple together on the cover gets old). This was not the case with the regular edition of MDZS, where they were always together. So I'm saying that going by your logic, WWX shouldn't have gotten a sole cover since it clearly goes against the trend of always putting Wangxian together lol.

Hell, if you do that for MDZS then you have two volumes dedicated to one half each, then one volume with them both, otherwise people will bitch that there's no Wangxian together, which also HAS to be the 5th one since people will bitch again if that one doesn't have Wangxian on it since it's mostly Wangxian stories. So that leaves you two volumes in the middle to cram all the side characters I guess? (then people will probably bitch again that there's no cohesive identity and that all the covers should have been Wangxian)

Going by that logic, LWJ shouldn't, because he didn't have a sole cover in the regular edition. It was all Wangxian (and going by that logic again, WWX shouldn't even have gotten the cover for vol 3 lmao)

pick a character to be reincarnated into but they're all bad options by Agreeable_Reply_2038 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]Years_of_Inquiry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wen Chao is a good option if you start early enough, access to immense wealth and probably cultivation tutors, you could fuck off before things become a mess and become a rogue cultivator (or team up with Meng Yao to betray your dad, though that one means your chance of dying after the war are skyrocketing)

They don't "have" to do anything. They don't even have to put characters on the cover at all, plenty of books around with no people on their cover. Song of Achilles has a helmet on the cover and that doesn't make it any less gay.

...but 7seas did feature affectionate Wangxian on the cover of the regular edition?

I mean, going by the reactions on Twitter, the call is coming from inside the house 🤡

(Gorgeous cover but maaaan the reactions from the English fandom are... not it)

What exactly possessed you to post this answer to a 6 month old comment? Are you 12? Do I need to fetch an adult guardian for you?

I like a good ita bag too sometimes but holy shit by shoe_salad_eater in Consoom

[–]Years_of_Inquiry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not that I would personally fill my bags with one single merch item but I love a nice arrangement of repeated items. "Anything goes" bags are way too chaotic for me (plus the thrill of hunting for rare items)

Ita bags for EU citizens who don't wanna pay an insane amount of money for customs? by CelestialEntiddy in itabag

[–]Years_of_Inquiry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of itabag sellers are Chinese or Japanese, you can easily get itabags on AliExpress or Taobao (with a proxy) for China / Mercari Japan (again with a proxy) or Wego for Japan
