WHEN SANITY IS NOT HOME

MDZS Volume 4 Annotations

Part 10, pages 310 - end

This is it! The last of the annotations for this volume!

Another exhortation to read @boat-full-of-lotus-pods’s translation, and yet more clarifications to make the reading more comprehensible.

Yes, please read

And some more notes under the cut:

For those who watched The Untamed on Youtube and Netflix, here is the true ending we deserved. The same footage shown in a different order tells a completely new story.

As you may know, drama aired in Japan wouldn’t have to work around the same restrictions that the original version faced, so two guys getting their Happily Ever After isn’t going to get a show axed at the censorship board there. This is from the finale last night – what the show’s cast and crew would’ve wanted you to see.

Spoiler alert. Maybe a little late 😉

Article on Fan Culture in China

This newly published Vox article is one of the most accessible, most comprehensive overviews I've seen on fandom culture and the increasing government restrictions in China.

Will be of particular interest to new fans who are still trying to get their heads around these concepts, but also worth reading for those who are more familiar with these topics.

Here is Part 3 of my annotations of First Edition MDZS, Volume 1, pages 148 - 209

WangXian Phoenix Mountain Kiss Censored Panels?

Ok I don't know how official this is...if it's like that "leak" of WangXian's drunk kiss or just a really really good fanart, but these're SUPPOSEDLY the missing panels from WangXian's Phoenix Mountain kiss in chap 185 of the manhua that were chopped due to good old censorship.

It's so weird cuz I just read another danmei manhua that had their kiss intact and they even kinda showed a nonexplicit handjob, so if these are indeed official, I wish they wouldn't be so hard on MDZS.
