so my reading addiction started to show when i talk with people my friends always look at me with that weird look "what she is talking about' because some analogies from the stories i read or simply some terms and concepts slip when i talk . like today, my mother was watching a series ... long story short, the mc made me seethe with anger. So i started telling her that she was a white lotus. pointing at the tv look look she is crying without any reason! omg why do they always forgive them though they are the ones at wrong! so i forget myself and made it my job to nag and explain everything she needed to know. lol mom was like: what white lotus? please let me enjoy my series. do you have moments like this when you bring your Chinese novels package out to the public? had you ever have a funny situation because of it? ( just wanna feel that i'm not the only one in this world)
Sometimes? I think? But it also happens with other vocab that pertains to only a certain community. I think I had to explain something I said from the fanfiction community that seemed so obvious and normal to me, but my husband had never heard of it. I can’t remember what the word was, though.
I have been known to use the terms “black belly” and “hug a fat tree” and I read more Japanese and Korean. I got them from manhua. So, you’re not alone...
No, fortunately for me I don't bring what I read into real life, you should probably read something else till you find new terms or something
Agreed Many times I want to use the phrases and idioms in cnovels but then I remember the other party won’t understand and I’m too lazy to explain so I let it be. It definitely fun talking in forum cuz everyone understands
I've found myself using "Can't see Mt. Tai" and occasionally black belly. But people seem to be able to figure out what black belly means on their own.
Totally! i need to start reading something else otherwise i will be a walking talking promotion... like go read cnovels so we can understand each other or something lol
yeah, especially with how many fandoms are created each time. lol we need to be always updates so we won't feel left behind.
There's a reason why "birds of a feather flock together." I'm anti-social so I don't talk to people.... I only type so I caught most of them and change them before I push send.
If you're saying too 'much' novels instead of too 'many' , you are clearly not reading too many novels. Maybe too much MTL.
Well I don't have that moments (not yet) but I stop watching TV series and stuff because I fell like it's same old serious mc got a power he made mistakes at last they get together but next season they again separate...
lol i know what you mean... this is why i always put myself in awkward situations and what's worst is that i press send then i verify what i typed
