How was the month? I'm FREE. FREE AS THE SECOND ICE CREAM IN A BUY ONE GET ONE DEAL. FREE AS A PIECE OF MINT CANDY IN A RESTARUANT. FREE AS THE FIRST CHECK-IN ITEM ON A FLIGHT — OR WAS THE PRICE MERELY INCLUDED IN THE TICKET? I SHALL OPEN MY ARMS AND BARE MY CHEST TO EMBRACE ALL THE MARVELS THIS WONDERFUL WORLD IS EVER SO KIND TO BESTOW UPON US. I SHALL TASTE EVERY RAINDROP THAT FALLS, HEAR EVERY BIRD THAT SINGS, AND FUCK EVERYTHING THAT MOVES. I. AM. FREE. Also I'm leaving for Xinjiang! Stuff…
网上看到很多人说到 EP4，也就是出题篇结束，读者就已经有了所有的线索，虽然大部分人都还得往下再看一两集才能自己解开。我当然是解不开的啦，但还有些想法和问题吧。主要是问题。想着先写下来，到时看完了后还能再回来看看自己说没说对，哈哈哈。 当然，本文有《海猫鸣泣之时》1 - 4 集的剧透！没看过的真的不要读啊！去看原作！可好看了！ 我是真觉得，至少在这个阶段，能“解开”谜题也是瞎猜歪打正着。要考虑到凶手有共犯，可能有很多个共犯，而且每一轮游戏的凶手和共犯都不一定一样，同一轮游戏内甚至都可能有不同的凶手（虽然明明看到有别人死了你还自顾自地执行自己的杀人计划还是有点骇人的但不能否定这个可能性），唯一能确定的是战人肯定永远不是凶手或共犯，不然没法玩了。而且八成也能假定没人死于自杀或意外，不然就没意思了。唯一能相信的只有红字和战人亲眼看到的东西，剩下的都能理解为贝阿朵在糊弄你。虽然这些魔法激光剑东西肯定有自己的意义，但我压根不知道有什么意义啊啊啊啊。 首先…
From here! What name do you go by online? Tofutush! How long have you been creating OCs? Since at least fourth grade. I used to make a ton of Warriors OCs, MLP OCs… basically any OC of a media I like. Where do you keep all the info on your OCs? In a notebook? On a website? Do you share your OC profiles or stories with anyone? *Points to header bar* My glorious TIR website. Do you consider yourself primarily a writer, artist, role-player, or something else? Artist primarily. Writer less so, but…
From here! Yes I am doing questionnaires again as if they actually help me understand myself… What's your name? How old are you? How would you describe yourself? Tofutush. 18+. I don't know how to describe myself except "paracosmist." What was your upbringing like? Well, both my parents are teachers, so take a guess. I think fairly well, actually. What are your hobbies? How do you like to spend your free time? I paracosm, and because of the paracosming I draw, code, and write! What kind of…
How was the month? It was… uneventful. "Event" as in things worth talking about. I met up with friends a couple times, and that was it. The days all blurred together until I lost track. Wanna get through July as quickly as possible too and be done with this. After July it's finally travel time! Stuff I did Finished House of Leaves! Suffice to say I didn't know what was going on at all. Stuff I want to do Artfight!
We went to watch Toy Story 5 today. Dad's suggestion. He was acting real nonchalant about it, but I could tell he was dying to go. He'd been a huge Disney and Pixar fan since he watched Lion King back in college, and his favorite series ever was Toy Story. Lion King was one of the first foreign movies China ever imported. And none of them broke-ass college students could afford a ticket, so they would group up in twos and threes to pool their money together and buy a single ticket. Then they'd…
How was the month? I got freed from school and went back home! But well, it's more like out of the frying pan and into the fire. I just need to survive the next two months, and then my mom and I will go to Hubei to pick up my dad from the metal-scrubbing competition and we'll all go to Xinjiang again! We toured around the north last year; this year we'll go to the south! To Qeshqer and stuff! (Qeshqer (قەشقەر) is more commonly spelled as "Kashgar," but since actually learning Uyghurche, it…
Welcome to part I-lost-count of Tofu's identity crisis. Today we will ponder, why is Tofu Tofu? This post took a long span of time to write, with me adding stuff on days I thought of stuff to add, so it may be quite disorganized. Something I noticed about me is that, I don't like describing myself as "I am something," and I prefer "I like doing something" instead. I am not an artist, but I like drawing. I am not a programmer, but I like coding. Maybe I just hate labeling myself. I am Tofu and I…
Book 16 time! I read the entire thing in one day. And well, I didn't like it. Spoilers ahead as usual! I already think that this was not planned ahead, so I'm not gonna ask continuity questions like "why did Darkstalker et al. never mention the LeafWing and BeetleWing tribes back then" or "how did none of the escaping Pantalan dragons get to Pyrrhia instead." Plus, the dragons had been shown to have extremely short long-term memory despite having written scrolls, so whatever. It does answer the…
Part 3 of my review of the entire Wings of Fire series. Same rules apply, spoilers ahead! The "prophecy at the start of a book" structure was really starting to wear off on here, because the prophecy didn't even appear until like book 4. They pulled out another continent with brand new dragon tribes for this. Everyone does that eventually I suppose, and it's often a trainwreck central, and this arc overall is indeed my least favorite (2 > 1 > 3 IMO), but it does house the book that's the…
Six countries, seven flags (the last one being Starcorp). I pulled most of these designs out of my ass, but I'd still like to talk about them, especially Bauhinia's. Bauhinia Bauhinia's flag, as you can well imagine, is inspired by Hong Kong's. But should you compare them, I'd still get mad because I'm a huge hypocrite. But the problem was, when I first drew it, it looks very ugly no matter what. It felt like the petals were just sticking out awkwardly, and I have no idea why. So I went back…
How was the month? A lot of unproductive panicking over the finals. I think I just had the worst period I've ever had. And it wasn't even painful. It wasn't. I just felt like shit. I took an ibuprofen pill right as it started so it didn't hurt at all, just an incessant background discomfort. But I felt like absolute shit. Maybe it's a conservation of pain, that if I don't experience it physically I need to experience it mentally. Or maybe my goldfish brain just doesn't remember the times when…
最近发现了搜狗输入法的一个功能：打 u，就能触发笔画输入。比如说，输入 u'hspn（u + 横竖撇捺），就能打出“木”。 但还没完！不仅是笔画，文字也是能叠加的。比如 u'mu'mu'mu（u + 木木木）就是“森”。 这样子，生僻字就好打多了，我也不用翻上几十页打我自己名字了。打 u'dzsd'qi（u + 点横折竖点 + qi），第一个出来的就是“祺”。 这个功能也藏得真深啊。之前拿到任何新设备时，第一件事就是让输入法记住我名字，但用这个功能的话就用不着了，第一个字就是我需要的。 最近我还自己整了个维语键盘。微软和搜狗的键盘布局是一样的，所以应该是有个什么规范吧，但这个规范我真是看不懂。估计有自己的逻辑，什么字母用得多，比如 ف 用 shift + F 打是个好选择，但 گ 用 shift + G 就让人摸不着头脑了。很多元音在第二排，F 是 ا，G 是 ە，H 是 ى，就很烦，而且最关键的是没有延长符。延长符在维语里，至少说在做闪卡时还是很重要的，毕竟所有动词都是词根，没有延长符看起来就比较怪。…
Part 2 of my review of the entire Wings of Fire series. Same rules apply, spoilers ahead! 6. Moon Rising (Moonwatcher) I was a bit worried there, about bringing the NightWing powers back immediately after saying they don't exist. Random ideas to further plot territory, but the author executed it extremely well (which is why I think she had this in mind way before.) One gripe I had was that I realized the author was literally just telling us about the characterization. Not Moon's mind-reading,…
I've had paracosms long before I knew what paracosms were. I couldn't remember most of them, but I do remember the previous one quite well. Maybe not that well. Um. Anyways. Basically, it's very Homestuck-pilled. LOL. Of course. So it's basically about these stick people going to school and doing shenanigans. They're mostly based on me and my classmates, with one signature character from their name being written on their otherwise empty faces, and I squish strokes around to represent emotion.…
