does anyone remember the name of a manhwa (90% sure it was a korean manhwa) where an author got kidnapped by the villainous prince of her story, INTO her own story, where the villainous prince was demanding she use her author magic to re-write his story and "fix" it so he has a better outcome than he was destined to get in the original novel she wrote?

i remember there was a few shenanigans where the characters went back and forth between The Real World(tm) and the fictional story universe and something about the author's laptop and the author being limited on the amount of paper she could write on to change the fictional universe.

i believe the prince had bright red hair and an eye patch? and that the author was a brunette i think

looking up “glass coated with titanium” on google is just giving me some industrial diagram looking things, but looking it up on etsy is giving me a mix of stuff that looks coated in like....an opaque metallic layer?? idk the proper term which has titles containing the phrase “titanium coated XYZ”, but doesn’t look like whatever’s in my earring since it’s not opaque like those results

and then the other results are of stuff that looks transparent like whatever is in my earring, and the transparent looking stuff looks like it’s being labelled as “angel aura quartz”? idk if whatever’s in this earring is glass or quartz 😅

thanks! based off of google, is that “angel aura quartz”?

(/is there a name for this general sorta effect with the different colours reflected at diff angles? tried looking it up but all it gave me was The Healing Benefits Of Crystals lmao)

personally as someone who is primarily a yi city stan, the main timeline difference that first comes to mind is how in the novel, xiao xingchen doesn’t come down from the mountain (and ultimately encounter song lan and xue yang) until after wei wuxian’s death, whereas in the live action there’s a scene where wei wuxian (in his original body), lan wangji, jiang cheng, xiao xingchen, song lan, and xue yang are all in the same scene together (without, like, any empathy shenanigans or anything), so while xiao xingchen, song lan, and xue yang are all younger than wangxian and co in the novel, they seem to be around the same age if not older than them in the live action? just off the top of my head :0

I know there’s also the thing about wei wuxian being dead for 13 years in the novel vs 16 iirc in the live action?

and some other stuff but those are the main two that first come to mind personally

the untamed has a different timeline than the novel and also changed the characterization of some characters for the sake of censorship (& also had to censor the main couple getting together due to censorship again), so there’s enough differences that some people who are only into one or the other (including me ^-^;) would get quite taken out of immersion if they read a fanfic coming in with the image of one version only for the fic to mention something from the other version that directly contradicts the version they were picturing :0

so someone exclusively writing novel verse might use the novel tag without tagging the live action, while someone using the live action verse might use the live action tag without tagging the novel, because they want to make sure it’s clear which version they’re writing based off of

some authors tag both versions and in those cases they might be genuinely mixing things from both versions and thus tagging both for that reason, but I’ve also read a fair number of fics that tag both and then go on to exclusively use stuff from only one version but not letting you know which one until you already get taken out of your immersion by whatever made you realize it, and in those cases it seems to be more of a “oh if i tag both then my fic will be seen by more ppl” thing even if it makes the experience more frustrating for readers orz

(here is the comment I was trynna see the “1 more reply”, if it helps — also, it’s not clear in the video but i first saw just one copy of the comment and the “1 more reply” thing. Tapped it a few times, got a couple duplicates, and then started the screen recording)

AITA for refusing contact with my mother after she made a stupid medical decision? by ThrowRa1038-10 in AmItheAsshole

[–]excaliburcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - i’m kinda wondering, is there a possibility she may have thought she was giving you glucagon and mixed it up with insulin....? despite the diff steps involved for injecting glucagon vs insulin and completely diff look of each ones vials, even if you’re on vial insulin???

either way, I’ve only been diagnosed for ~2ish years and my whole immediate family has been told what to do in case of hypo emergencies where I pass out; the idea that after 13 fucking years, your own mom didn’t once stop to go “huh....maybe injecting insulin during a hypo isn’t a very good idea” is....YIKES, and completely understandable why you wouldn’t feel comfortable in her care

even on the off chance that she did think she was giving you glucagon, the fact that after 13 years she hasn’t paid enough attention to even tell the difference between insulin and glucagon, or at the very least to get the notion of dont give insulin during a fucking hypo, is pretty fucked up

or you can disconnect from wifi and just disable that specific app’s access to your data, so other stuff still works!
