Probably nothing to do with why every tv show for the past 30-50 years has been shows about police forensics being a perfect sexy superscience & an essential tool to lock in convictions of Criminal Genius Suspects and their Evil Lying Lawyers

A forensic handwriting expert once testified under oath open court that my client had signed a document. Which was impossible because my client had advanced Parkinson's disease and couldn't sign anything. The expert said Client must have been faking his illness because his analysis was foolproof.

wrote a thing on Tumblr about danmei translation #MDZS
Went down the rabbit hole of fandom discourse on danmei translation and saw this reddit comment that's probably representative of people's gripe with all the modern language used in MDZS: 
"It's good if you don't care about keeping it true to the original text. The problem with seven seas and the translation of this particular book is the editors.
Suika's translation is good, but then it gets edited and some wording changed because of localization and to make it sound more....American. Which is why WWX at times speaks modern words.
Localization is the bane of official translations."
It had me a bit confused though because if Wei Wuxian isn't supposed to sound "American", what's he supposed to sound like? A Victorian gentleman? An Elizabethan court jester? Just don't expect him to sound Chinese when you're already reading an English translation. 

WWX speaks modern words because that's what he does in the Chinese original - this is what I find fascinating about these Chinese internet fictions, which is that they're often an interesting blend of poetic literary/classical Chinese and modern day internet slangs and idiomatic humour. I grew up reading tons of serious literary fiction so I find this especially refreshing. One of the main goals for online fiction writers is to keep their readers engaged and hooked, and a story written entirely in literary Chinese would be too much of a slog that might make readers lose interest. This is why even in the works of authors like Meng Xi Shi who tend to use formal/literary language, there're still plenty of modern day slangs and quips strewn about. 
For me the best example of this blend of the classical and the slangy is probably 2ha. I think I once wrote a post that mentioned that Meatbun literally used the Chinese translation of the English idiom "carrot and stick" in 2ha which is set in fantasy ancient China.

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚
A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss. 

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”

I used a lot more acrylic inks on this one, letting the inks pour and run across the paper and then painting over the top of them once they dried. I really like the effect! "All That Will Grow" Watercolor, acrylic ink, gouache, and color pencils.

Digital black and white watercolor fanart comic for Grandmaster of demonic cultivation. Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian are standing in front of a yard post main story. They have their backs to the viewer, and Wei Wuxian has his hands behind his head.
In the yard in a pavilion there is Lan Wangji playing qin with Jin Ling and Lan Sizhui watching him.It's quiet between Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng. Then Wei Wuxian drops his hands, asking carefully, still staring ahead of himself.
Wei Wuxian: Do you ever... find it unsettling?Jiang Cheng turns his head slightly, his expression still hidden. The page is split into two frames, separating Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian's frame has an indent in the shape of Mo Xuanyu's body. Behind that indent there is Wei Wuxian in his original body, smiling mischievously and leaning towards Jiang Cheng.The page split horizontally into past and present frames, present Wei Wuxian's body is just a black silhouette, while past Wei Wuxian's is visible, his hand resting on Jiang Cheng's back.
Jiang Cheng's thoughts settle on the frames showing present Wei Wuxian's shape.
Jiang Cheng's thoughts: Wrong height. Wrong voice. Even the weight of your arm feels off to me.

And being pummelled by the media doesn't really hold the same weight that it would coming from your team, whether that's the players, the coaching staff, or management.

Sometimes! But mainly in the media, which isn't actually that much of a deterrent against poor behaviour or performance given the general state of hockey media. They aren't the whipping boy within the room or the org (except for when they are but that's not the norm).

Yes! The hockey players in this series are so real. One of the authors that I think gets closest to how they actually talk in private. And these versions of Shane and Ilya are compellingly imperfect. Shane is such a bitch in these fics and I love him.

I don't know whether only the star players or captains would have a whipping boy or if every member of the team would be the whipping boy for another player, but just think about how much that would deepen hockey's already fervent 'team first' culture?

You know the myth of whipping boys? Where princes had a boy who was raised alongside them and was punished for the prince's transgressions while the prince watched? It occurs to me that this is a perfect concept to bring to hockey RPF or Heated Rivalry fic because it's a natural extension of ferda.

This is pretty well known, but the Australian flag Sam Neill wore on his uniform in Event Horizon was designed at his request to show the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because he hoped in the future this is how it would actually look. A proper fucken ally in every way, this bloke.

The overall point here is that trans rights is actually an issue of bodily autonomy, and you can't attack transness as a concept without also hitting everyone else in the crossfire. Which is not to take the focus off trans people, because of course these rules *won't* be applied equally.

Re: “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” I always just use the original definition as coined by the creator, mostlyvalid on Tumblr, as the all fandom alternative to “HYDRA Trash Party”. ie. There will be no subversion or condemnation of the things tagged, proceed with caution
The "Dead Dove: Do Not Eat" tag would essentially be a "what it says on the tin" metatag, indicating "you see the tropes and concepts tagged here? they are going to appear in this fic. exactly as said. there will not necessarily be any subversion, authorial commentary condemning problematic aspects, or meditation on potential harm. this fic contains dead dove. if you proceed, you should expect to encounter it."
