The weekly chat posts are intended for just that, chatting among each other. What are you currently watching? Reading? What actor/idol are you currently following? What are you looking forward to? Are you busy writing, creating art? Or did you have no time at all for anything, and are bemoaning that fact?

Whatever it is, talk to us about it here. Tell us what you liked or didn't like, and if you want to talk about spoilery things, please hide them under either of these codes:

Welcome to Topic Tuesday! Right away I want to stress that discussion posts are always welcome to the community, you don't have to wait until a Topic Tuesday rolls around, and then maybe be disappointed by the current topic of discussion. Whenever you want to talk about something, please simply make a separate entry to this comm, no matter the week, the time, or the topic. All right? *g*

The topic I picked for today is Favorite mom/dad characters. This is another prompt that was suggested to me on a post I made on Bluesky, asking for ideas. Do you have favourite mom/dad characters in c-ent? If yes, who are they? Tell us all about them!

As usual, if you want to talk about spoilers, please use one of these codes to hide them.

This isn't directly C-ent related, but yesterday I visited the Hong Kong Palace Museum (a partner museum of the Beijing Palace Museum in the Forbidden City), and thought I'd post about it here. It just opened in 2022. There are nine galleries, seven of which were filled with displays from Chinese history, mostly things from the imperial palace. The vast majority of the items on display were from the Qing Dynasty, mainly from the time of Qianlong's reign (1736-1795). But there were also some displays from earlier reigns and earlier dynasties, and even one display of pottery dating back as far as 4,000 years.

( To connect this at least slightly to Cnovels/Cdramas... )

Anyway, I thought I'd share some of what's on display. This is nowhere near everything, just a selection; there are hundreds and hundreds of objects in the galleries. (Er, also apologies for the low quality. My phone is old and the museum has very low lighting. :P)

( Museum exterior )

( Entering the Forbidden City )

( Life and Art in the Forbidden City )

( The Art of Armaments: Qing Dynasty Military Collection )

And moving backwards in history:

( Ming Dynasty Ceramic Treasures from the Palace Museum, 1368-1644. )

And the last gallery I visited, ( the Founding Donations gallery, which had some even older items on display. )

( A couple of scenery shots outside. )

(I'm not sure how best to tag this! Let me know. :)

Wishlist Wednesdays are intended as a catch-all for anything you'd like to ask for in a casual, low-stress setting. No need to create a separate entry to the comm (although you are always welcome to do that, too), just leave a comment with your request right here under this entry.

It can be anything. Are you looking for icons of a specific drama or actor? Do you need a beta for your fic? Do you want to know where to buy merchandise of something? You can ask for recs of any kind (fanfic, drama, novel, music, whatever), or even leave specific fic prompts that others might be able to fill. Or whatever else that you can think of. Right now we're still kinda experimenting with this format, after all.

Feel free to discuss wishes/requests in the comments. And if you want to fill a request, feel free to do so right in the comments, too, or make a separate entry to the comm.

And please also check out the previous entries!

Multiple wishes/requests are definitely all right, just post a new top level comment for each. It would make it easier for people who might be interested in helping you out. The only thing I'd suggest for now is that you hide possible spoilers in the usual ways:
