Challenge #11
In your own space, Interact with someone. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Well that's one I can mark finished already :P I've definitely done More Interaction™️ here in the past two weeks since arriving to DW compared to my usual month across… everywhere else added together?
So I guess this is mostly a note to say hi (again!) to everyone I've met so far both in Guardian and general fandom, plus a very enthusiastic thanks for all the A++ comments on my gif post for Snowflake and also me losing my marbles over Zhou Shen because I <3 him a normal amount. (And may or may not be planning to do another instalment of that later today – what else are weekends for, right?)
Also a shoutout to everyone over at ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
guardian_learning for providing excuses to think far too much about language than is strictly necessary or reasonable. Consider this an open invite for anyone learning Mandarin to come throw your language cooties at me whenever (with the caveat that I'm definitely not Mainland-standard on vocab or grammar but still good enough overall), which will hopefully tempt my brain back into semi-formal Japanese learning at some point.
Or drop a track you're listening or most recently listened to! That's Mika's Elle me dit for me:

Date: 2022-01-22 02:26 pm (UTC)Oh I like this! I don't know much of Dessa's music aside from the Night Vale stuff, should rectify that…

Date: 2022-01-22 05:53 am (UTC)As for recent tracks... if you'll excuse the explicit title/lyrics: KING BITCH by Queen Bee has been on repeat here lately. It didn't quite stick on me when originally released, but now it's a menace, lmao. Also mild content warning as the MV itself features the lead vocalist (Avu-chan) and another actor (Akihisa Shiono) beating each other up in a way that carries a suggestive undertone.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-22 02:39 pm (UTC)Oh that MV is gorgeous! I don't mind the title, though it does remind me of when Porno Graffitti did the theme for Movie 19 and I was like "uhh okay gonna save the artist name in katakana so nobody questions what this track is" LOL.
Also I'm not sure why the song itself reminded me of this パラジクロロベンゼン cover right away… they're not actually alike? Inexplicable brain associations much.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-23 07:00 am (UTC)And oooh, thank you for this cover! They may not be super alike, but I do feel like there might be something similar in the cadence of the lyrics, hm hm

Date: 2022-01-22 06:41 am (UTC)My current track is "Drought" by Vienna Teng! I've been listening to it on repeat and thinking of what good fic titles it would make.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-22 02:43 pm (UTC)Mysterious, but a fun start to the year at least haha. And I am definitely seeing fic title material in this!

Date: 2022-01-22 07:48 pm (UTC)I'm currently listening to this Korean surf pop band: https://music.saysue.me/album/where-we-were-together. It's very chill background music.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-23 07:03 am (UTC)I've also not seen Guardian, but that comm looks cool! I appreciate a different way to practice vocab daily.
The current posts aren't really Guardian-specific anyway, so feel free to drop by! It's been fun discussing words even though I'm not on the learning side of things.
And I'm always in need of chill background sounds, saving that to listen later when I have my headphones :D

Date: 2022-01-23 08:48 pm (UTC)(Already edited to say: I'm currently on the hunt for idioms that Zhao Yunlan might use that don't make sense to Shen Wei, aka ones that aren't logically understandable...)
no subject
Date: 2022-01-23 11:32 pm (UTC)My language thoughts are far more vague nebulousness variety but go ahead!
And there are definitely more fitting sayings than this but I just woke up and the mental image of Shen Wei responding to 解铃还须系铃人 with "no actually with a sufficiently sharp blade you can cut anything Zhao Yunlan why are you laughing" is unreasonably funny to me.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-23 11:46 pm (UTC)This is supposed to be a light, happy fic, to counteract all the language angst from the previous one, so, you know, I basically just want some funny idiom shenanigans XD
no subject
Date: 2022-01-24 12:28 am (UTC)OKAY SINCE YOU ASKED sorry in advance for not linking definitions on this one because I'm scrolling one-handedly through a list on the train and copying out anything that made me hmm/lol/have relevant feelings (edit: ……which turns out is much more than expected)
On the other hand Shen Wei would probably have Strong Agreement Feelings about the various soulmate/fate-related sayings (有缘千里来相会，无缘对面不相识 anyone?)
no subject
Date: 2022-01-24 11:44 pm (UTC)I'm definitely going to be using a couple of these (I am still snort-laughing about the meat pies falling from heaven) and will, of course, credit you for the inspiration. Thank you so much for taking the time to throw these at me and have Guardian thoughts at the same time <3
no subject
Date: 2022-01-25 03:09 am (UTC)'TWAS A GREAT QUESTION no matter what everyone else on the train thought of me snickering at a vocab list XD
I look forward to seeing whatever comes of these! Meat pies included. Honestly I always forget that one's a real saying even after seeing the dictionary entry for it…
