Okay this one isn't really part of The Horrors but I NEEDED to save it in some opera related playlist <333

Lmaoooo I forgot about that loser <3

oooooh drama!!!

They had a concert in Bergamo (one of the towns that registred the most COVID-19 cases and deaths) and the members of the chorus performed with a surgical mask. This originated a series of posts and comments in the group with people negating the existence of an epidemic and saying it’s a tool that the political class is using to establish a dictatorship (🙄); or that wearing face masks is dangerous because it makes you breathe too much carbon dioxide and you can die for it (weird, doctors, nurses, etc. wear it regularly and don’t die).

that sucks!!! maybe the over 50 rule only applied for that brief period of time after our lives were mostly farming/hard labor and before they became this stressful….

Who knows? People definitely still act like the over 50 rule is pretty much a fact, but of all the people I’ve known who have had shingles, only one of them was over 50 when they got it.

I had chicken pox really mild when I was little, so I’ve kind of always known this was probably gonna happen eventually.

is there anything that can be done about it? :<

Not sure. I came down with shingles so things are just kind of lousy overall. I was given some painkillers, but I don’t know how much they’re really helping. 

thank you! I am, of course, a giant lesbian myself so I was a little sad about how few GL novels there are (and how few of those I actually want to read)...I was thinking about really studying the xianxia genre later and writing a few of my own though! <3

Ahh very cool! I’m in the same boat, there’s so little, it’s painful ;; 

The only other baihe novels I’ve read so far are The General’s Manor Young Concubine Survival Report (which overall as just okay but had a couple good moments) and what little has been translated of Mei Ren Jian (so far similar characterization to wangxian)

A few others I’ve found so far but have not read are My Disciple Wants to Tease Me Everyday, which looks maybe promising, and Demon Sword Maiden and Dragon’s Bloodline, both of which I’m hesitant to try because they’re about men transmigrating as women and I’m worried that they’ll turn out to just be fetish fuel.
