    in truth, Daluo Jinxian is just something made up by people on the internet trying to do power levels, they're just orthodox immortals, whereas Taiyi Jinxian are just unorthodox, and Dajue Jinxian are buddhist, and they're all just kinda parallel in power in mythology

    However, "Demeter" isn't as good as "Ceres", after all, one sounds like "the meter", and that doesn't sound like a good thing at all, and the other sounds like a cute girl, despite her being a mommy milky

    I don't understand why everyone says "Fuck irodori and fakku" but the nature of humanity is to repeat what other people say, so I'll say it too

    you can check out the series 猎冰, which is more breaking bad than breaking bad

    mainly because apparently the protagonist is based off of a real person, like that dude actually exists apparently

    Yeah, the guy is a real person, only went to middle school, self-taught chemistry, became a chem teacher, had these weird nationalistic principles of "let's sell to the foreigners only to avenge the opium wars", only was caught because some underlings wanted to make some quick cash and stole some goods and sold domestically

    had a wife and three kids who didn't know anything, but also had a mistress on the side who helped him with stuff, no "Jessie" though, was moving like 12 tons a day or something, the show is basically just recreating what actually happened, but you know, it's pretty good

    madara's fire extinguish whatever giant wave jutsu seems deadly, but it's a momentary thing, because you know, it's just a spray of fire, right, but if it was like, water or earth, I think that would be far more devastating, I mean, like, even after the move is used, you'd still have your 200 meter wide 50 meter tall tsunami wave fucking over everything

    For example, there was that one tribulation where an arhat went to test a meritorious king, but he kept taking the donations from people who needed it, so the king tossed him out and soaked him in a river for 3 days, so the arhat sent a famine to the kingdom, and his pet lion went and killed the king, transformed into the king, and fucked the king's wife while the king's corpse soaked in a pond for 3 years

    I guess that might be why a certain Tripitaka was extra tasty...

    If you think about it, Journey to the West is kinda like Grimm's fairy tales, you know, with how brutal and bloody the originals are compared to adaptions
    d.fish
    I mean, that wasn't the only thing censored, right?

    Tripitaka got killed and eaten by Sandy nine times in nine previous reincarnations, and Sandy tied those nine skulls into a necklace around his neck, right?

    But in the cartoons or the shows, you only see like, you know, beads or some shit

    It's weird that it's a chinese saying that "some people are born in rome and some people never reach rome" to talk about the inequality of birth, or is there a different origin? I can't tell because I'm stupid

    For some reason I don't remember seeing the parts of Journey to the West where that dude murders the dragon king of the river and then the dragon king's ghost goes and haunts li shimin to death, but people say it's there

    mandela effect or censorship?

    so you know the ultimate villain in stephen chow's kung fu hustle, the guy who said in the world of martial arts speed determines the winner, so anyway he does that toad kung fu, right, so apparently that's from like the sequel of the return of the condor heroes, there's a villain in there named ouyang feng, who's kinda an asshole rapist murderer good guy, anyway he uses a toad skill too

    so they made a Chinese version of breaking bad and it's actually really good like it's it might not be as, you know, well acted, because it takes a lot of cues from source material, but it's more complicated and delves deeper into the south east asian trade, and it's... dirtier and grittier too

    I think the main difference between this series and the American breaking bad is that in this version the guy has a full head of hair, he's savvy and smooth and capable of charming anyone despite being middle-aged, well-connected and capable of managing a giant business empire based on drugs, and well educated in all sorts of information so that he's never caught off guard or caught flat footed

    I mean, they both tell different stories. If you just say it plain like that it's obvious since there is more to it when you have "circumstances" and thus it's more interesting plus people like for there to always be a reason for stuff to happen even if some stuff is just random. Something something Paarthurnax struggling with the circumstances of ones birth.

    It's weird that "Horcrux" is translated as "魂器", when the literal definition of the words is "soul device", which kind of makes sense but not really since whore crusts are more like soul containers or whatever, right, but you know, "魂器" is used in a lot of other medias and settings, especially the ones with soul stuff or "soul" stuff, you know the kinda fantasy magic that just gets labeled "soul" without any reason
    d.fish
    I think what's interesting about this kind of "multiple settings SI'd at the same time by one MC" type thing is that you could, instead of a "know all" or "know none" scenario, you could have the MC be familiar with some settings, and unfamiliar with others, for example if MC only knows anime but not games, or movies and not anime, etc. in this way you can mix "invincible genre" with "exploration genre"

    If you think about it, mortals being puppets of the gods is apt enough, if this world is a simulation and the ones outside determining fate are players, then the little npcs inside the simulation are puppets, or whatever

    basically danmachi

    I just don't understand why Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid is so well know in a sort of cult following way in China, like every isekai story that is a multiverse has like a one in ten chance of having the MC come here to take a flower
    d.fish
    "I want to be the King of Pirates", but in Chinese, you know, "我是要成为海贼王的男人" can also be translated as "I want to be the Pirate King's man", or perhaps "I want to marry the Pirate King"
