Miscellania

1. Apparently I tend to stand with my hands/fists on my hips a lot. One of my coworkers has started to call me out on "being Wonder Woman again", lol. I mean, said coworker also calls me out on "doing the :3 cat face again" which I have no idea what it means?

2. I am starting to pick up learning Korean again. It's kind of emotionally hard, for the same reasons I dropped it in the first place. It reminds me of my Roomate From Hell, but dammit, I shall persevere.

3. I'm working on a companion-piece of sorts to the Tanith watercolour. It's in a somewhat different style, though still watercolour, hopefully with ink highlights -- silver this time. Tanith and Joan of Arc. I think I could do worse, but also, you know what? I could definitely do a lot worse at drawing. I mean, I still need to take full stock of Inktober ~taught me~, but fuck it. Even if I'm not good at art, there was nothing there before and now there is something. And that's worth something.

Honestly I had to restart at the very beginning of learning the alphabet because I have a poor memory for languages I'm not using, but I will definitely take you up on it once I can make sentences!

Btw, have you seen Strong Girl Bong-soon / 힘쎈여자 도봉순 ?

[china_shop]

Ha, I understand. Good luck getting back up to speed! Fighting!

Yep. Why? :-)

[dhampyresa]

FIGHTING!

I wanted to ask what you thought of it. I hear it's really cute?

[china_shop]

Well, my Korean teacher loved it, so I did watch it, but I thought it was a giant mess. It had some really cute bits, but overall there are much better dramas out there, more worthy of your time, imho. (It's super-popular, though, so it's possible it just wasn't for me?)

[dhampyresa]

Thank you for the thoughts. Any kdramas in a similar genre you'd rec?

[china_shop]

Oh, I still haven't answered your 5 questions, have I? Sorry! (I wrote answers but didn't post them immediately, and then accidentally deleted them, and then ran out of steam. /o\)

I'm not sure which Kdramas you've already seen, but my annotated list is here, sorted into categories by how much I liked them. More than happy to answer further questions on any of them. :-)

[dhampyresa]

Thank you! <3

WW pose sounds awesome! If that's a male coworker being patronizing, he can suck it.

[dhampyresa]

Phrased it wrongly, lol. He's not being patronising, I just didn't believe him when he said I did it a lot.

Tbh I feel really cool when I do it now, because fuck yes I will stand around like Wonder Woman if I want to!

[kore]

OH, I see. LOL I was being fighty. You could get a t-shirt where she has the pose and double it up!

[dhampyresa]

Thank your being fighty on my behalf <3

That's an AMAZING idea, omg.

[bunn]

I'm seriously impressed you made it to the end of Inktober. I failed about 21st, though I'm sure that practice practice practice is the way to go.

Is the colleague that says you are Wonderwoman being an arse, or just joking?

[dhampyresa]

I had a severe hurdle around 2/3 of the way through too! Tbh, only passed it through force of will/spite.

Nah, just joking.

Love the drawing! I can't do art, so I'm always envious of people who can... Yay!

[dhampyresa]

Aw, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the art.
