Lary| 29| Spa/ Eng/ Learning chinese| Hi!, I'm Lary, and I love danmei, fantasy novels in genral and videogames. My main fandoms are Erha, SVSSS, Devil Venerable Also Wants to know, Cult of the lamb, Ori and the Blind forest and Nu Carnival.
this line, friends, this line, is such a pet peeve for me and i guess it's just another example of lost in translation. in it's original Chinese, this line was so much more pitiful and so much more painful than it's English counterpart. like there's so much of mo ran's painful backstory laden behind it.
explanation and analysis under cut-
originally, 'shizun, please pay attention to me’ was;
'师尊，理理我吧‘ or 'shizun, lili wo ba’
'lili wo’ or '理理我’ has a nuance that you just can’t find in english.
the verb '理’ is- for the lack of better words- to acknowledge someone’s existence, and can be as simple as a glance.
it’s basically the action for atleast showing barest minimum- i repeat, the barest minimum - of respect and acknowledgement towards someone.
when this is paired with mo ran’s begging, it makes the whole situation even more pitiful, because mo ran’s pleading chu wanning to acknowledge his existence. his pure existence.
he’s not asking for anything more; because he’d never been shown anything more and doesn’t expect to be shown more.
like, up until that point, he’d been living on the streets with his mother. he at least had her then. but, following her death, he ended up in an entertainment house, living in the kitchens, having to fend for himself.
no one would have even cared about him or showed him anything more than the bare minimum of respect. he basically accepted what he was given. after a while, he would have expected nothing more and took this mentality with him to sisheng peak.
his asking for that bit of acknowledgement would have already been overstepping in his eyes and it’s actually so fucking sad.
“I love you.” His heart was trembling violently. “I love you, not the way a disciple loves his Shizun, but… I’m being bold, I… I love you.”
After a long pause, Chu Wanning finally said hoarsely,
“… I have a bad temper.”
“You’re very nice to me.”
“I, I’m old.”
“You look younger than me.”
“I’m so ugly…” “I’m not good-looking.”
“…”
“Not as beautiful as you.”
“Would you like to see my eyes?”
“Your eyes…?” Mo Ran’s gaze was gentle, reflecting the figure of a man in white. He said, “Did you see that? He’s the most beautiful person in the world.”
Chu Wanning glared at him. Although his heart was in turmoil, there was not much of an expression on his ice-cold face. Mo Ran gripped his palm, sweating profusely. He said softly, “I love you.”
How to turn off AI-scraping from your Word documents
Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.
If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.How to Turn off Word’s AI Access To Your Content
I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”:
File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”
If you do not absolutely need Word (for work or school or a functionality that exists literally nowhere else), just stop using it.
For a 1:1 Word replacement, I'd always recommend LibreOffice. There's also a version of OpenOffice still around, though it updates at a slower pace.
If you're a fiction writer and would like to switch to a dedicated novel writing software, the free options tend to be a bit limited. However, there is SmartEdit Writer, which looks a lit like a slimmed-down Scrivener (which is pretty much the writing app, but has a one-time cost).
Most people don't need Word. It's just what's familiar. And even there, LibreOffice is very similar in design. It will also generally read your Word docs out of the box. The switch really isn't hard, I promise.
Obi-Wan can find an invisible planet hidden by a devious Sith Lord, Anakin can’t find his ex-best friend on his own home planet while the guy is still using his own damn name.
I know we give Obi-wan a lot of shit for leaving Luke with his real surname but Anakin really is that stupid
I’d like to remind everyone again that it’s literally canon that Vader can’t step foot on Tatooine because the desert gets into his creaky old man robot joints and makes his suit break down
aka the sand is coarse, rough, irritating, and gets everywhere
okay but what if everyone was like ‘vader, kenobi’s on tattooine. he’s obviously on tattooine. he’s been there for years. he’s just right fucking there, we all know it.’ and vader is just desperately shaking down jedi like they’re magic eight-balls and he wants a better fortune. like ‘no i don’t like that try again’.
kenobi’s just sitting there in his pile of sand like a smug fucking bastard. he doesn’t need to hide jack shit. he went to the tattooine board of tourism and got them to print up flyers that say ‘COME TO TATTOOINE, WE HAVE SAND’ and luke is probably going to be safe until his midlife fucking crisis at this rate.
palpatine finds vader aimlessly checking behind pieces of furniture in some shitty space motel on kamino
those Madotsuki stickers I made a hot minute ago needed an updated follow up, I was planning on making just a few of these but I couldn't help myself, use these on messages, Snapchat, or Instagram stories, find them with the # “yumenikki”
