I love the author Jorge Luis Borges. He seemed to write about stuff like he was on acid, but what he wrote always turned out to be mind-boggling and lyrical in ways that challenge a reader's conceptions of reality. I always wish an artist would adapt one of his insane stories to a manga or better yet, a webtoon with full color pages...
Borges once wrote about a man called Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who had a daydream in 1797 on a summer day in a farm town near the British town of Exmoor. He'd just begun to read a non-fiction history book, when he fell asleep almost immediately. The section he'd read just before nodding off described a man from ancient Persia called Kubla Khan. Kubla Khan was an Ottoman Emperor made famous in the West by Marco Polo (who traveled from Europe to Asia between 1271 to 1295 AD). In Samuel's dream, the words on the pages of his book began to sprout and grow like a living thing. Asleep, he saw realistic, vivid images of Kubla Khan's magnificent palace along with words describing them. After a couple of hours, he woke up and was completely, utterly sure that in his dream he'd created an extraordinary, detailed 300-line poem called "Kubla Khan" (persumably Kubla was an important character in Samuel's dream - this is important!). He tried to write the poem down, but his smartphone buzzedd with a tweet (lol that part's not true). While he was writing, someone interrupted him, and when he tried to finish writing down the poem, all he had left were vague images that made only 50 lines but were nonetheless very beautiful. He called it "Kubla Khan; or, A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment."
Now let's talk about what's in the poem, Kubla Khan and his palace, who was a very real person. Years after Samuel lived, translators discovered some information about Kubla that Samuel had never known, and nobody in Europe could have known until the early 19th century. Kubla (remember, he was a real person) had done something strange, that makes sense to me but may scare you. You're about to hear something like a ghost story, except these ghosts lived and probably are still out there, doing something strange in someone else's dream (or dreams), as if they themselves are unceasing poems that will continue to hop from person to person until the end of time (please god, do not let t be like Being John Malcovich).
Remember I just said that Samuel dreamed of Kubla (who lived in the late 13th century) and he wrote his dream-poem in 1797 AD (the late 18th century). That was published in 1816 AD (the 19th century). Then, about 2 decades after he published Kubla Khan, Europeans got a hold of the translation of an ancient Persian book called Compendium of Histories by Rashid al-Din. The Compendium of (Persian) Histories was published in the 14th century (1300-1400 AD). There are only small bits of the Compendium left, but there is a certain line written by a descendant of Kublai (the Persian spelling of Kubla), Ghazan Mahmud. It reads, "East of Shang-tu, Kublai Khan built a palace according to a plan he had seen in a dream and retained in his memory." There is absolutely no evidence to show that Samuel could have ever told Ghazan or Rashid to write or publish that. There is also no evidence to show that Kubla and Samuel knew each other.
However, IF one built a palace shown to him in a dream, and his descendant later writes that he actually did it, AND another person made a poem about that palace, including the actual name of that person who dreamed of and built the palace, it makes logical sense to say that at some point Real-Kubla and Real-Samuel did cross paths in perhaps something like Dream-Persia. Now who came back from Dream-Persia -- was it the Dream or Real Kubla, the Dream or Real Samuel? Because, how can one dream of oneself in a dream, without anyone being a counterpart to you in a Dream-Land? Perhaps, Dream and Real Persia are exactly the same, but mirror images of each other?
Basically, the story written by Borges was based on historical fact and uses his creativity to highlight how sometimes dreams can mess with reality. I personally wish I could see a badass webtoon based on this story, in which Samuel meets Kubla in a dream (maybe BL, maybe not hehehe) and Kubla is so impressed by Samuel that he makes some changes to his life in the real world when he wakes up....this is a little like an isekai but not really? Kudos to those who have read the story I'm referring to, I think you can find it in Borges: A Reader but I forget...

What have you been writing lately? Currently I have over 230+ pages of origin story for my OC that I've been obsessed with.
The thing is we are arguing on how do people notice your zippers open, like do they purposely look or it was just a glimpse or an accident not intentional at all.
So me and my cousin like-
:BITCH WHY ARE YOU JUDGING PEOPLES KINDNESS THEY EVEN HELPED YOU FROM PUBLIC EMBARRASSMENT.
:WELL YOU NEVER KNOW, IF THEY ARE JUST KIND OF PERVERTS WHO SECRETLY LOOK DOWN, IT DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION TOO YOU KNOW!

Jamie held the leather belt in his hand stretching it out to intimidate the poor guy tied to a chair. Tears streamed down his face, His body was shaking. The poor man was fearing the worst.
Make your own ending to the story. Will the man be saved? Or will he suffer a fate worse than death?

my family knows I'm pansexual and they are fine with it but when my sister came out as bi my parents said she was offending the LGBTQ+ community for wanting to be bisexual like how does that make sense and then they said at least she was half straight so she was somewhat normal. But they allow me to be pansexual I don't understand like pls explain.

Just write any thing that you hate/don't like in ML/male character.
I am so tired of seeing black hair and blue eyes male characters. There are way to many guys with black hair blue eyes (oh and don't forget they're always arrogant). I'm generalising it a lot don't be mad at me please

If you think aging up characters that are MINORS just to sexualize them is okay, dni. you're gross as fuck and I could go on and on about the stuff I would do to stay away from a shitty person like you.
Is there a manga/hwa/hua everyone like but you hate/don't like it?
I don't like "suddenly became a princess one day" (─.─||).
I read the novel and it's so good, but the manhwa made it way to dramatic and just changed almost everything (the plot) after Claude lost his memories... I haven't read it in a while so maybe what I'm saying is irrelevant tho (٥↼_↼)

Just some things that you don't like when reading a historical manhwa/Ga/hua
I'm gonna start :
In manhwas where the Mc reincarnated as the villainess/ an extra (anything, but the FL of the novel), I really hate it when they say shit like "he can't like me" "he's meant to be with the FL". I get where they're coming from, but it's lowkey disrespectful to the ML. He likes her and all (he confessed, show her how much he appreciates her etc) and she just invalidate his emotions "because it's not meant to be". Unless that's the setting of the story (like she can't change her fate), I find that so annoying.

so if you WANT to support authors from stories that you like then try this yall. so if the story is on lezhin then you can go to tempmail.org and it gives you temporary email addresses.
so you use that to make a new account for lezhin. and as yall know lezhin gives you 5 coins for free when it's a new account. so your able to buy a new chapter or whatever. and then you'd make a new account if you want to read another chapter
the process it somewhat tiring but it's worth it well at least to me. that's how i'm reading a man of virtue
