at any given point this week i am thinking about that one short where the person is doing beautiful chinese brush calligraphy but the voiceover is some fuckass guy going, in mandarin "EMPEROR, HE'S GAYYY YOUR SON IS GAY HE LIKES MEN BOTH YOUR SONS ARE GAY"

and whenever he says gay in english rather than tongxing or whatever the pinyin is, the brush just awkwardly scribbles "gay" in english rather than run the phonetics

i have the link to this but the account has no other calligraphy content so it's probably a douyin repost and i can't find the original for the life of me

吾皇啊！您兒是gay啊！ #轉發 #gay #彩虹友善

Making a type of xuan paper (宣纸; fine paper used for calligraphy/painting) with Yunnan safflower and fresh high mountain tea leaf inclusions. This is Yunlong paper (云龙皮纸), which is made mainly from paper mulberry bark, and is categorised as "semi-raw".

Xuan paper can be categorised into three types: raw (生; sheng1), semi-raw (半生半熟; ban4sheng1ban4shou2), and ripe (熟; shou2). Raw paper is unprocessed, so ink is easily absorbed, making it suitable for ink wash paintings and such, while ripe paper has potassium alum added, making it stiffer and much less absorbent, so suitable for brushwork requiring precision. Semi-raw is also processed, and is between raw and ripe in terms of absorbency.

how do you stick to a creative endeavour for more than 3 days at a time

lifelong depression has absolutely fried my brain everyone tells me "just do the thing you want to do and enjoy doing in order to improve at it" and i look at them like they're a fucking alien with unnatural powers

[boccher]

i tell them "you could not possibly understand how many times I've tried and failed to do that" then they look at me like I'm the alien. i guess i am the alien. living should not feel like such a burden to me
