I translated a Chinese comic that I thought certain factions of Mastodon would enjoy.

Very much reminds me of the premise of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sacred_Book_of_the_Werewolf
@max @0xabad1dea smilarly, it reminds me of SCP-953. Although, being an SCP, it takes a more horrific tone.

@0xabad1dea Seems about right for a good portion of the crew around here!

my husband: "is it more Confucius?"

@max @0xabad1dea Jesus that Wikipedia page is terrible. It's not actually a proper article, it's a high-school 1-page essay about the book.

if a clown farts does it smell funny?@terribletowelie I agree that would strike Confucius dead if you subjected him to it, but I'm gonna encourage you to check out an idiomatic translation of Confucius (hey I have one right here, that I wrote) and to steer away from associating him with what happens when Chinese is translated hyper-literally with a dictionary https://xn--hmr.net/classicalchinese/analects/

@twinkle "Demoness in Disguise" (妖精的伪装) is the name of this specific short; there doesn't appear to be an overall series name for the artist's many shorts, they're just labeled as being by hands2.

@0xabad1dea how long did it take you to learn Classical Chinese, and did you start out knowing Mandarin already?

@0xabad1dea how long did it take you to learn Classical Chinese, and did you start out knowing Mandarin already?
@mikesiegel I started with standard Mandarin about four years ago and gradually migrated to being more interested in Classical. Most English resources about Classical assume you already have a working knowledge of modern Chinese, so I made a website https://xn--hmr.net/classicalchinese/ which is currently still pretty small but the long-term goal is to provide information on Classical on an "interested in ancient languages" basis rather than "interested in improving my Chinese" basis
