shen qingqiu being unreasonable as always 😞 poor binghe

this clip was so novelwwx coded that I had to drag myself out of art-block to do this

Four Books in and no one working on Mo Dao Zu Shi official English release understands that Wei Wuxian doesn’t call his Cultivation Demonic but the Ghost Path.

This to me is just extreme incompetence at this point. I don’t know if it’s the translator or someone purposely changing it afterwards but either someone doesn’t know that Gui Dao and Mo Dao are two different words and that is important because the use of Mo Dao is meant to disparage Wei Wuxian in the story.

Or someone is purposely changing it back to Demonic Cultivation because they think it sounds cooler, because of the title of the novel (it’s meant to be a misnomer) I have no idea. Either way it’s completely wrong and completely misses the point why two different words are used throughout the story to refer to Wei Wuxian’s cultivation.

This isn’t a fan translation but an official translation and mistranslations like this are going to impact people’s understanding of the story.

THE PHALLOPLASTY SCAR IM SCREAMING ITS PERFECT

I know it's July I don't care don't look at me!!

I like that in The Ghost King's Bedtime Story extra Hua Cheng says, "the night we consummated our marriage" instead of "our wedding night." And even in the story Xie Lian is reading the consummation does not immediately follow the marriage. I like the thought that even once they were married they took a while to get there. And given the fact that there seem to be several truths woven through the creative liberties of the myth, I like that in the story it's the Scrap Immortal who initiates the consummation (albeit for duplicitous reasons, which I don't at all think actually happened). It's just very sweet that the implication is that they took their time, and when Xie Lian was ready he asked (probably just as adorkably as he did in the story) and Hua Cheng, naturally, said, "Of course."
