Free-For-All Friday

Time for free for all Friday, a day for random chit-chat!

Do you want to talk about the other novels you are reading or find a read-along partner? Practice your Chinese? Request for fics? Ask for beta readers? Just talk about your day?

Go right ahead!

Right now I don't have the spoons to make a new post but I subbed a few bonus scenes (Luo Yiguo-related) from the Modu/Silent Reading audio drama and posted them here. Technically an old work that I just retrieved from Twitter then cross-posted on Youtube, but the video-editing/effects are new. XD

Otherwise I'm still neck-deep in Justice in the Dark and had a cool learning moment about an idiom (since the show is being aired in Japan and therefore hardsubbed in Japanese):

Chinese: 狗急跳牆 (a cornered dog will jump over the wall)

Japanese translation: 窮鼠猫を噛む (a cornered rat will bite the cat)
