IRL Nyanko-sensei (he would be a calico? tortoiseshell?)

Leroy doesn’t have sufficient neck fluff to make a good reference.. so I was looking at photos of Maru and Shiro

it is really cute and kind of sad how he goes from ‘wooooo my toy!!’ to ‘aaaaaaaaaa what is this get it away from me’ in like five seconds flat

ps. the ball of yarn is not his toy.. it fell out of my cupboard. I wouldn’t let him actually play with yarn because he’s so crazy when he plays I imagine he could get tangled in it so tight it might actually hurt him :(

praying, hard

ETA: thank you for the tags!

I went back to the office with the haircut of a teenage schoolboy from the 1990s and none of my bosses seem to mind. Shoulda shaved the sides higher

Endure anything for long enough and it will eventually end

I can no longer tell if this message is meant to be hopeful or sad

As great as Ravages is… I will concede that Ma Chou and Ma Dai are at their cutest in Dynasty Warriors

letealeaf:

I really like RoTK, and while I agree that it does make Shu very favorable and paint Cao Cao as a villain, it leaves room for other interpretation too - just subtle. I rant a bit, but it comes from all the class analyzing of the book. >_<

I think readers can always interpret it differently, it’s just been quite a while since I read the novel and I’ve read up a little on actual events since, so that’s the overriding impression I have. I understand why the Ming government wouldn’t have supported a book that was sympathetic towards a Han traitor! But to be fair, I don’t know how much of this is also influenced by the movies and TV adaptations I watched before/after reading..

charmian:

Although I have to kind of say that SINCE Ravages of Time is so revisionist that it actually enhances it to have read the novel (the Moss Roberts translation is good, but there is also a free one on the internet!) or to have played Dynasty Warriors (which is actually a fairly conventional interpretation in many respects, at least as the chara personalities go, although wtf with Zhang He).

But everyone should STILL read Ravages of Time. XD

I have had zero success convincing people to read RoT so this is an extremely good point! Also yea it is fun getting shocked by how amazingly RoT twists and turns things you always thought were quite straightforward in the novel.

My brother randomly started playing DW7 and ended up unlocking everything and finishing the entire game for me so I think that is probably the most.. fun way.. to get into 3K. But I am echoing the ‘wtf with Zhang He’
