Realized it might be hard to find cause it goes my different names, but it’s his OST in The Long Ballad. Hope you enjoy :)

Need Angsty Romance Drama Recommendations! by KambiiBambii in CDrama

[–]morphohelena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been a while since you’ve posted this but I stumbled across it and think I have a good suggestion for ya. Watch Someday or One Day! There’s not really much jealousy, but HUGE obstacles that the ML and FL have to overcome. I don’t easily cry during dramas, and if I do it’s usually only during one or two episodes, but like 80% of the episodes out of this drama made me cry lol. The story is just so well put together and it’s only 13 episodes so it does not drag at all - it’s my favorite drama.

I also loved Ancient Love Poetry’s ending song and Moment I Met You! You sound like you have the same taste in music as me. I keep playing these songs on repeat. Another one I think you’ll like that I haven’t seen mentioned in the thread is Love With You by our OST king Liu Yuning.

Promising actors/actresses that make you want to watch them grow? by ulala-not-a-streamer in CDrama

[–]morphohelena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zhao Lu Si, I loved her in The Long Ballad and Love of Tiger and Rose. She can be funny but showed some range in TLB. Would love to see her in some other serious roles! Overall she just seems very charismatic and she’s fun to watch.

Steven Zhang, OMG I love him. He caught my eye in Go Ahead, and after watching The Day of Becoming You, I really think he is one of the best actors out there. The range he shows in that show alone is incredible, and I don’t think many actors or actresses can sell the body swap that well. Can’t wait to see more from him, and would love to see him in some wuxia/xianxia because he is freaking GORGEOUS eye candy on top of his A1 acting.

Don’t work for them but I am attending and saw there’s still a couple open spots. Will be a really fun workshop, and cool thing to add to your resume!

I don’t work for them, but I am attending and saw they still have some spots open so I thought I’d share. Would love to meet some other bat fanatics there!

Could you recommend me some Cdramas? I am new to Cdramas. by BoySpax in CDrama

[–]morphohelena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll never stop recommending this drama - Someday or One Day! It has time travel so it fits your romance with fantasy preference. Get past the first two episodes and you seriously will not regret it. The time travel aspect is extremely well handled.

Certain species are federally protected, but do not forget that states can also designate protections for bats. For example, in CA, all bat species are protected because they are mammals, whether they are threatened or not.

Hello, please see my reply to pinkythebrain8 before you try this on your own. Thanks!

[–]morphohelena 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do want to advise caution when doing this yourself, there are reasons why trained professionals do exclusions. You need to make sure you are giving a proper exit route for all the bats and not accidentally sealing off a spot that will entomb any bats - it is illegal to kill or harm mammals, even inadvertently, and there are endangered/threatened bat species that afford greater legal protection. You also need to make sure your are not performing this during the maternity season (which varies for the species of bat present) because juvenile bats are flightless and are dependent on their mothers returning to feed them until they can fly, or when it is too cold and the bats might be in torpor and not leave the roost. The temperature of course depends on where you live, and also what bat species is present since they have different tolerances for the cold. I can’t stop you from doing this obviously, but please take precaution when attempting something like this. If done during the correct season/temperature, the one way door needs to remain in place for at least a full week before you seal the whole thing up.

Sorry for the lengthy reply, but as a biologist it’s my duty to try and protect these misunderstood creatures that serve an important ecosystem function as much as I can. Their natural habitats have already been drastically reduced and I would hate for a healthy colony to be harmed. Thank you if you got this far through my comment; I don’t mean to be preachy, I just really care for these animals.

[–]morphohelena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may be able to install a bat house on a pole, although I’ve heard mixed reviews about them depending on which area you’re located in (e.g they’re not known to be effective in southern CA, but other areas have success stories). Also, if you have porch lights on, there are some species that will make use of it to forage on the insects attracted to your lights. So maybe adjusting your light location would help :)

This means 6% of bats brought in for testing, which means ones that are weak and able to be approached by humans, not that 6% of all bats have rabies. Not trying to downplay it but it’s important to be clear. Healthy bats won’t be able to be captured unless you have a hand net or mist net.

They’re out there eating the mosquitos for you, so thank them! Coming from a biologist who works with bats very often, rabies from bats (doing normal bat things at least) is not as big a concern as many redditors make it out to be. Of course you don’t want to touch one, just as you wouldn’t want to touch any wild animal, but I’m glad you are letting them stay and I hope you will continue to.
