Did I buy osmanthus candy just so is have it as I (re)read GOLDEN TERRACE v2? And then fold and make a brown paper bag to best display the candy and stage (hee) this little photoshoot?

Maybe 😆

#YanFu #GoldenTerrace 🦢💌🏹
The cover of v2 of Cang Wu Bin Bai's GOLDEN TERRACE rests on a chambray blue cloth, a paper bag filled with osmanthus candy. One unwrapped candy rests to the right of the cover. The cover of v2 of Cang Wu Bin Bai's GOLDEN TERRACE rests on a chambray blue cloth, a paper bag filled with osmanthus candy sits to the right of the cover Soon, the bag of crisps was empty. He fished a waterskin from his bag, gulped a few large mouthfuls, and complained, "What the hell? So damn salty." It was, of course, Fu Shen. To days ago, he and Yan Xiaohan had parted ways outside of Jing Prefecture City. After traveling two li, He had deliberately doubled back just to flirt outside the inn. While he was buying the osmanthus candy he had so covertly slipped to Yan Xiaohan, he'd seen the sesame crisps and impulsively bought them, intending to snack along the way. Thinking about it now, he didn't really like sweets. Three to five months could pass before he'd eat any kind of confection. He had bought the crisps purely because he was lured in by the aroma of the osmanthus candy. From v2 of GOLDEN TERRACE by Cang Wu Bin Bai Except from Cang Wu Bin Bai's GOLDEN TERRACE, v2 Yan Xiaohan nodded absolutely. As soon as he mounted his horse, he quietly opened the purse. It was full of crystal-clear osmanthus candy. *Didn't he go southwest?!* In broad daylight, they had engaged in such a secretive exchange. It really.... * It really made a man unsure how to properly love him.*

In Chapter 29 of Golden Terrace, Yan Xiaohan made fun of Fu Shen for keeping ducks in a flower garden because it's considered vulgar and disrupts the picturesque view. The author explained in a note at the end of the chapter that Yan Xiaohan's comment was taken from a book written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin where Li made a list of things that he considered to be crass and tasteless. I translated Li Shangyin's list below - this is what one of the GOATs of classical Chinese poetry thought you shouldn't do if you want to have great taste like him: 1. being raucous in the serene pine woods 2. getting over-sentimental and crying when admiring beautiful flowers 3. setting up your mat (the equivalent of picnic blanket) on grounds covered by green moss 4. cutting off the branches of a willow tree 5. stringing up your washing line among flowers to dry your undies 6. carrying heavy bags to a spring trip 7. tethering your horse to a beautifully shaped rock 8. lighting a torch in moonlight 9. a great military general with a commanding presence walking down a street instead of travelling on his horse 10. building a tall tower in front of a beautiful mountain 11. growing random vegetables in an orchard 12. keeping chickens and ducks under a garden trellis covered with flowers

about danmei prose #goldenterrace #mxtx #2ha
Anonymous asked: Okay, I've been curious about this for a while now, but seeing your post about Golden Terrace reminded me: how do the danmei you've read so far come off in the original Chinese? From the English, Golden Terrace (my personal favorite, ngl) comes off as relatively flowery, while MXTX works are much more straightforward and Erha is...well, it's purple prose, but in a fun way, lol. But as someone who's done translations with other languages I know that that doesn't necessarily mean anything for the original. Golden Terrace is pretty flowery (but not overly so), and it's intelligent prose because it's not flowery for flowery's sake, the literary embellishments actually serve thematic and emotional purpose. For example, the line I quoted in the other post - "the sky was like a great void that could never be filled" - is symbolic of how if Fu Shen and Yan Xiaohan decide to walk out of each other's lives, that absence will leave a great hole in both their hearts that will never be filled. (I checked the English translation of this line in the Peach Flower House edition and regrettably the symbolism would probably be lost on English readers, because it's translated as "the sky was like an enormous cave.") Regarding MXTX, it's not your fault at all anon but I'm kinda tired of defending MXTX from accusations calling her prose easy or simple. It's not more straightforward or simpler than other danmei prose, it's really an issue with the translations. MXTX's three books actually all have different styles of prose - MDZS's language is closest to classical Chinese and reads the most elegant, flowery, and serious; SVSSS's language is pure fun and very dialogic, like MXTX is directly talking to the readers; TGCF is a whimsical black comedy, the language is casual and witty. Meatbun is an interesting one because she can be pretty inconsistent, some of her writing makes me go "wow this is so so beautiful like I just looked into a kaleidoscope🤩", while other parts of her writing make me go "wait are these words allowed to be in the same phrase and are these phrases allowed to be in the same sentence?🤔" She's not a rigorous writer so it can go from genius to dubious real quick. That said I do love 2ha to bits so it's a flaw that I can easily overlook.

#WIPWednesday is (somewhat unexpectedly) this snippet of YanFu Paralympics AU that I wrote on my phone during a quarterly all-staff meeting this morning

#GoldenTerrace
"They're going to try to make you the face of the games. They think it will make them look better, after what happened." "Yeah, I am aware." "And you're alright with it?" "Do I have any choice? If it gets attention to the games, it's a good thing, right?" "Not if you don't even make the team." "Excuse me?" YXH shrugs. "You're a rising star, but you're still new, and there are only so many spots on the team." "Is that a threat?" That makes YXH laugh. "It's the truth." "How is this even your business?" "I'm managing the games, aren't I?" "You're a civil servant, you're making sure buses go and the right bribes get paid. Leave the sports to the athletes." "It's my business if we use you in advertising and you're not even any good." "What do you even know about it?" "Well, your stick handling is immature, for one thing. And you're still building your balance on your sled. You're at a disadvantage to the amputees anyway, so you have to be even better than them. Will you get there by the games? I'm not convinced." Fu Shen just stares at him for a long moment. "Fuck you." YXH just shrugs again. "Okay."

Having an ereader I can scribble on is so important for my deep reading practice.

Photo of my ereader: a passage from Golden Terrace, ending with: “On the fifteenth of the first month, Yan Xiaohan received return gifts from Yanzhou. The true gifts were also mixed into a big heap of northern specialties: they were a pair of deerskins, and a...” The end of that sentence is highlighted on the screen, but also blanked out on the photo. Under it is the all-caps annotation, “AAAAH!”

If anyone needed an example of just how far machine translation is from being good - the only two bits of this that are correct are 'is good' and 'the left'.

(it can't handle mixed languages, basic fandom slang, or that this was posted along with an image and thus refers to the left *person*)
Screenshot of a tweet by @sanhowaxie. The original text reads "黄金台はいいぞ〜 恶名昭彰权臣攻（严宵寒）X威名赫赫将军受（傅深） 左が攻めです。 #黄金台 #GOLDENTERRACE" This is followed by an auto translation from Japanese by Google, which reads "Golden stand is good~ Kenna Akiaki's military attack (严yoikan) The left side is attacking. #黄金台 #GOLDENTERRACE"

Just on the train thinking about how in a year Golden Terrace will be in print again and until then we'll be getting to see the cover. And preorder. And new fans will find it. And there may be more fanart (and how happy it makes my heart that there is fanart)

So. Yay!
