Fallen petals in the middle of the stream

Since this week seems to be all about YouTueb videos, here's a song I found and enjoy:

Watch on YouTube

芒種 ("Grain in Beard"; 6th to 20th of June), sung by 趙方婧 Zhao Fangjing. The video is just clips of various actresses in period dress, but I'm getting a lot of femslash feels and, yes.

(I suspect the subs were done with google translate or equivalent. Ex:
Hanzi:
若佛說~~~~~（無牽無掛）
放下執著~~~~~（無相無色）

Subs:
Buddha said (be free of love)
let it go (be free of love)

EP can use a dictionary and knows some grammar:
As Buddha said (be carefree)
let go of attachments ([we're] colorless without each other)

...so, yeah. Some stuff might be inaccurate.)

Okay it's easier than I expected (!) and I have the first 6 minutes already. The timings are bullshit, but, hey, I think this should be done by the weekend? Anyway, the little disciple is Ye Xiaoqi and the cool and badass master is Xiao Rufeng. And the boob collision scene's music is even more !!! than I recalled from the first watchthrough!

Yaaaay I'm so excited, I'm glad it's going well! I'm certainly not going to complain about timings, as long as it's readable I'll just be grateful. boob collision scene, AHAH. Their dynamic is super cute, Ye Xiaoqi's giggle is infectious.

After I posted, I subbed up to 8:30. 60% done! Projected schedule: finish up translation on Thursday, get the timings and sanity checks done on Saturday. Xiao Rufeng/Ye Xiaoqi is such a wonderful ship.

I am hypedddd to squee about this ship over the weekend. Everything going well still?

[extrapenguin]

Yes! In fact, everything went better than expected on the back half, and the translation is done! I'm currently fixing the timings. Should be up within an hour?

[ratbones]

Omg yay, that's awesome!

[extrapenguin]

And done! Has a 480p .flv and a .srt file with only slightly dodgy subtitles. Come squee with me about Ye Xiaoqi colliding with Xiao Rufeng's boobs!

(I'll make an actual DW post about it soon)

Did and done! Aww, you have a new icon. This ship is unfairly adorable -- the noodle scene had me cooing out loud.
