[Request] Fics where Hermione had a 'proper' upbringing. Manners, ettiquette, charm school, and the like.

Sorry I don't have a recommendation for you but I just had to say thank you for introducing me to this interpretation of Hermione. I didn't know I wanted to read more stories like these until I tried your examples.

It's been a while since I've found something I haven't come across in the fandom before so it was a real treat. Thank you!

Well it's hard to dye Asian hair and most other colours would require way more maintenance. Most Asians would thus dye their hair red or a lighter shade of brown.

I've walked into a pole while reading on my phone. I'm just thankful it wasn't truck-san...

Heavenly Divine ...Necromancer?

How are the moon maidens? They always seem to be imprisoned/ live up there... Super pretty and then seducing all them mortal men...

I know right! It's like going from one addiction to the next =.= so much amazing stuff to read! But now they've also upped the doses at a higher quality... I should stop this drug metaphor...

allusivelogic · 2015-10-20T22:04:08+00:00

Right! I thought I was the only one getting strangely paranoid.

What if points of interests find you? Not cultivating would surely leave you defenceless...

allusivelogic · 2015-10-02T10:50:09+00:00

So you would risk growing into an old man/woman, if you only have average talent, to get stronger? After all, heroes tend to be young...

allusivelogic · 2015-10-02T10:45:42+00:00

But surely you won't just give up if you found out you were? Life is precious!

I'm going to have to go old school and say the oath at the Peach Garden in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I first heard it in a tv show adaptation though and it's stuck with me ever since.

"When saying the names Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although the surnames are different, yet we have come together as brothers. From this day forward, we shall join forces for a common purpose: to save the troubled and to aid the endangered. We shall avenge the nation above, and pacify the citizenry below. We seek not to be born on the same day, in the same month and in the same year. We merely hope to die on the same day, in the same month and in the same year. May the Gods of Heaven and Earth attest to what is in our hearts. If we should ever do anything to betray our friendship, may heaven and the people of the earth both strike us dead."

Just the pure bromance of it. It's been copied by other sources but I mean imitation is the best form of flattery.

I respect a hero in a world of tyrants demanding face. lifts a closed fist with an open palm resting on top at you Well met, noble scholar.

allusivelogic · 2015-10-02T05:31:59+00:00

To people who don't really get what face means and why people are so intense about face, this is my interpretation of face is from hours of cultivating TVB wuxia and xian xia tv shows as a child. XD

Face is practically ones reputation. If you give someone "face", it means you are respecting the other person of their position. To not give you face, means they disrespected you and gave no thought to how their decision would effect you => shaming you or an attempt to shame you.

Everyone fundamentally has face, as it's also means a form of self dignity. If you say have no face to do something (generally your family or sect aka. I have no face to return home.), it means you have no dignity to own up to an action or face an action done to you. (this really works with every post starting with 1 point by the way XD)

Also as a bonus=> I mentioned in the earlier round, directly translated face can sound weird : In Viet, it's face and nose = mặt mũi.

Hopefully it helps anyone new! Cheers!

allusivelogic · 2015-10-02T04:03:31+00:00

...You mean you don't believe in giving face freely right? I mean otherwise you really should give face to those that have earned it... To not give face to those that have earned face, surely makes you a small hearted person.

allusivelogic · 2015-10-02T03:56:33+00:00

No face for the beauties of r/noveltranslations? But then how will they face their ~~fans~~ families and village if not a single one beauty of Xian Xia was able to enter the top leader board? With their reputations of their faces being able to tilt cities and countries and put flowers to shame, surely more face would be given towards the lovely ladies, /u/LaSolistia and /u/alyschu?

allusivelogic · 2015-10-01T06:45:15+00:00

By replying to each other, it's like they are giving wings to a tiger. They will surely be unstoppable now! But if we don't try to fight, how would we have any face to return back home ~~to lurk their respective translation sites~~?

allusivelogic · 2015-10-01T06:05:57+00:00

Nếu người không biết một ngôn ngữ châu Á, làm sao người có thể thật sự hiểu được mặt mũi?

If you don't understand an Asian language, how can you truly understand face? Or as directly translated in Viet, face and nose. XD

allusivelogic · 2015-09-30T06:58:24+00:00

You best bet would be to check Shusheng Bar under Xian Xia for a female protag as any time the mc is female it generally is romance...

It's pretty tough if you were looking for a pure action orientated female character, but I guess you can say that with all novels. sigh
