Reading the book of MDZS for the first time and it’s so funny! I love that like Wei Wuxian is just “I was simply resurrected into the body of a homosexual and I, myself, am only having gay thoughts about how beautiful Lan Wangji is as part of the Bit™️ for I am so incredibly not gay” I love him he’s such an idiot

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

I just realised something. Jin Ling better get an expert matchmaker when he grows up. Lord, he's surrounded by the most rizzless people ever!
Who is this boy going to learn from? His dad, the martyr to chronic foot-in-mouth disease? Jiang Cheng, the man boycotted by all the matchmakers? Wei Wuxian, disaster gay? Lan Wangji, lord of let me bite you to tell you how I feel?

Playing semantics and being sappy about his Lan Zhan, he's really the character of all time

@mikkeneko Personally I wouldn't count them. While they do somewhat fit the basic description, 怪 is also a term that tends to suggest a "beastly/monstrous" form or nature. Spirits attached to objects are considered artefact spirits in typical Chinese beliefs, which don't count as creatures and are usually still treated as objects, often without sentience and don't have natural origin. Additionally, the sabers themselves were never alive, therefore they can't be dead, which is how the story defined the 怪 part. Besides, the sabers didn't ever become monstrous beings, they were just cultivated with resentful energies. They're still the same as the sword spirits like Suibian, which run on positive energies, just a different power source which happen to come with a few...murderous tendencies. Hope that explained it?
妖魔鬼怪 - In MDZS Context
A quick and easy guide to the “evil creature” classification as it is presented in MDZS & CQL, as explained by Wei WuXian and Lan QiRen in canon. Disclaimer: I don’t read a lot of wuxia/xianxia and if the genre covers this I wouldn’t know. I’m 100% basing this off MDZS and only MDZS lol.
To Note: All four individual characters carry negative connotations by default. 《妖魔鬼怪》as a whole refers to the creatures to be exterminated by the cultivators. There are more positive terms for more positive creatures (example: 仙 (xiān) meaning “fairy”) but those won’t be covered in this post. Also artefact spirits such as sword spirits will also not be covered as they seem to form their own category in the context of this story.
妖 (yāo) - Formed from living non-humans (plants and animals)
The XuanWu likely falls under this category, along with the giant evil snakes that show up a lot in the anime.
Non-MDZS examples could include things like fox spirits, bamboo spirits etc.
Things like mermaids, dryads and goblins (living but was never human) can be categorised here if seen as generally malicious
“妖” is commonly translated as “spirit” or “demon” (in a sense of being similar to Japanese yōkai) in English, but there’s not an exact translation
魔 (mó) - Formed from living humans
The “corpse puppets” from CQL would fall in this category, since the humans aren’t technically dead when they become “corpse puppets”. I don’t think there were any actual examples in the original MDZS itself though???
Non-MDZS examples could include things like the futakuchi-onna from Japanese folklore (two-mouthed woman), (evil) witches that dabble in “bad” magic etc.
“魔” itself CAN mean “demonic” and/or “evil” on its own (not always), so I’m assuming that in MDZS at least, “demons” are seen as human-based
“魔” is commonly translated as “demon” or “devil” in English, but can refer to a malicious magical being as it also as it also can mean “magic” depending on its use
鬼 (guǐ) - Formed from dead humans
Fierce corpses, water ghouls, and wandering ghosts such as Wei WuXian’s giggling ghost ladies and A-Qing’s spirit fall into this category
Specifically anything that becomes non-human from a human after they actually die
Non-MDZS examples could include things like jiangshi (Chinese zombie-vampire hopping ghost), hanged ghosts, pocong (Indonesian burial shroud ghost), basically anything ghost-like or zombie-like etc.
“鬼” is the easiest to translate to English, almost perfectly translating to “ghost”
怪 (guài) - Formed from dead non-humans (plants and animals)
No given examples in MDZS/CQL
Non-MDZS examples could include things like a haunted dead tree stump (suggested by Wei WuXian in canon), the inugami from Japanese folklore (vengeful spirit of a dead dog)
100% would not look human in its true form (disregarding shapeshifting abilities)
Probably usually violent and feral
“怪” is commonly translated as “monster”, and when used in a phrase would describe something “weird” at best, and “monstrous” at worst. E.g 妖怪 (yāo guài) - “Monstrous Spirit”, 魔怪 (mó guài) - “Monster Demon”

@ziseviolet @lookadreygon These are snow skin mooncakes, commonly called 冰皮月饼 (bīng pí yuè bîng)／雪皮月饼 (xuě pí yuè bîng) ! They're more of a sweeter, more modern take on a traditional mooncake (traditional ones are more of festival snacks or tea snacks) and they are more popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore than mainland China in my experience. The outer skin is made with glutinous rice flour that mimicks Japanese style mochi but thicker, and the filling is often lighter than the traditional ones, which are pretty dense and filling. They're often served cold as the more popular fillings include ice cream, fruit creams, or even jam, alongside the more traditional fillings of bean pastes. I've had some that were light lotus paste with chocolate. They're usually also smaller than traditional ones, and don't have as long a shelf life, and tbh are trickier to make. But they are lovely and if you get a chance you should try them!
