Hello, I really like your posts about hanfu. I'm glad to be able to learn this much about it. I wonder if you could answer 2 questions of mine. 1. Do you know of any other YouTube channels etc. that talk about hanfu / chinese culture, like Five thousand years or AvenueX.? 2. Is there a way to find all your posts/reblogs apart from your masterpost (since not everything is listed there). Any tags etc. like to different things. I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance & have a good day!

Hi, glad you like my hanfu posts, and thanks for the questions!

1. To be honest, I can’t think of good English-language Youtube channels that talk about hanfu besides the ones you mentioned (Five Thousand Years and AvenueX). If you’re open to Chinese-language channels though, I highly recommend the following for hanfu-related content: 1) Shiyin (some of her videos have English subtitles), 2) 小豆蔻儿, and 3) 老八捌. If any followers have more recs, please share!

2. Besides my Q&A Masterpost Part 1 and Part 2 that compile all of my replies to asks, I also have the following pages that contain links to various posts and resources:

About page - a “hanfu 101″ with links to primers & masterlists; I suggest all newcomers to hanfu take a look at it

Tags page - has links to common & useful tags (this is what you’re looking for)

Where to Buy Hanfu page - has links to reference posts and shop tags 

I recently updated these pages, so please check them out! (Note: you may need to be on desktop for the pages & links to work correctly).

Hope this helps! (image via)

He eyes her over the rim of his glass, a doubtful concern practically telegraphed across the table. Her violet eyes never leave off where she’s met his gaze, even when she takes a deep, shaky breath and poises the rim to her lips. Gutsy, he thinks. “Stubborn,” he says aloud, with a smirk like a dagger’s cut. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Her eyes narrow, and he watches the steel rise in her gaze, the taut of her shoulders born of the taunt. She’s predictably brimming with boldness now, and doesn’t even wait for the countdown he was ready to prepare her with before she’s tossing back the vile Galahdian moonshine like she hadn’t got sense. 

Nyx laughs when she splutters and grouses at the taste, and finishes his own just as quick to catch up. “Not bad, right?” he encourages, jumping up and rounding the table to join her. “Spicy. Like licking the Infernian’s balls, but worse. I assume.”

He bends down to gather her up roughly in his arms, hauling her away like a princess in the direction of the little clearing that serves for a dance floor whenever they manage to assemble a makeshift band. “Now you’re ready to dance like a Galahdian.”
