dasmimsWhile I slowly start feeling at home in this corner of the internet, I haven't quite figured out how it all works. What to post about, what comments are appreciated, how to interact with communities etc. (am I overthinking this? probably. welcome to my head).
Thought of the Week:
I've discovered, once again, that when Germans find each other in an English speaking context, even if they start talking about a topic like German grammar or a crime show that's the German equivalent of Doctor Who (as in everyone has seen it at some point and it's running for ~50 years), we will stick to English. Not necessarily 'cause there might be people around for the conversation, who don't understand German, but rather because it would be weird.
What I haven't quite figured out yet is, why is it weird? Switching languages mid conversation is not that odd in multilingual spaces. English for a good part seems to be the lingua franca of the internet, so maybe that's it?
Here is a fic idea I had but don't feel like writing - feel free to use it:
The Untamed/Mdzs The Martian Fusion
This was inspired by another post (forgot by who, I'll link it if I find it) about Wei Wuxian working at Granny Wen's farm and my first thought was "He does have Botany Powers. You know, like Mark Watney."
Now this could be a) Wei Wuxian being left behind on Mars and essentially going through his Burial Grounds phase with some potatoes or b) let's change it up a bit and there already was a little colony on Mary and when the research team gets the order to leave because of the storm and leave the colonists behind, Wei Wuxian just can't.
With both options the Wen Clan or Jin Guangshan could be an antagonist, trying to save resources instead of wasting them on Wei Wuxian (and the others).

The potential indeed.l

I’d never be able to feel sad if I could see that smile every day…”
Hey uhhh someone out there who wants to write this? *puppyeyes*
(I’ve been thinking if there could be another setting for this, but nothing really seems like it would be thisinaccessible for a rescue without doing a whole lot of world building… T_T)
