Subbed cdramas on youtube
So, I know with the demise of Dramafever, people have been looking for where to watch subbed cdramas. There is always viki, of course, and they have a good selection, but surprisingly, youtube also has a bunch.
Here is what I found:
Huace Media Channel has a number of subbed cdramas, including An Oriental Odyssey, Meteor Butterfly Sword, The Taoism Grandmaster, the Great Protector and others.

I am sure there is more but these are the ones I know about.
Hey guys! This is important so please dont scroll past this.
Wafaa's old blog got shadowbanned, and its just yet another example of how far tumblr will go to silence palestinians when theyre already struggling to get by because of illness, starvation and the constant violence. It should alarm you just how frequent this is becoming with palestinian bloggers having to remake 3-4 times when theyre already living through the worst things imaginable.
If you don't know who she is, Wafaa Alnhal is a woman in her 40s who had left for Egypt a little after the occupation attacked for medical treatment. She has since been working hard to spread her campaign and evacuate her family who she had to leave behind in Gaza, despite her own ongoing struggle with her health issues and making rent.
Initially her goal for her gfm had been 35k, but recently she's had to raise it to 50k because her daughter has gotten hepatitis from the polluted water in Gaza. Her family is suffering- all 15 of them including 4 young children and a newborn baby- and they will have to live with the damage for the rest of their lives. It's taking its toll on Wafaa too, who's had to neglect her own health and wellbeing to raise funds for them.
She's made a new blog @wafs-posts and you all should follow her there to get updates from her on the situation directly. You should be listening to her instead of hearing this from me.
Her gfm is currently at 12k/50k
They still have a long way to go, so please dont let tumblrs censorship slow them down
Her campaign has been verified, and there is a raffle being conducted (by @/ibtisams) to raise funds for her campaign so please give it a look, and consider taking part there are some truly beautiful journals to be won.
Please follow the raffles for palestine account and take a look at the other artwork thats up for grabs too!

“What, you’re scared to admit to everyone that you’re the little spoon?”
“More like the entire city doesn’t need to know we’re doing this.”
“Still sounds like you don’t wanna say you’re the little spoon.”

An aye-write guide to Showing vs. Telling
I’ll bet that if you’ve ever taken an English class or a creative writing class, you’ll have come across the phrase “Show, don’t tell.” It’s pretty much a creative writing staple! Anton Chekov once said “ Don’t tell me the moon is shining. Show me the glint of light on broken glass.” In other words, showing should help you to create mental pictures in a reader’s head.
Showing helps readers bond with the characters, helps them experience the emotions and action more vividly, and helps immerse them in the world you have created. So “show, not tell” is definitely not bad advice - in certain circumstances. But it has its place. More on that later.
.-.-.
So How do I Show?
Dialogue
Thoughts/Feelings
Actions
Visual Details
So instead, of telling me “He was angry”, show me how his face face flushes red, how his throat tightens, how he slams his fist, how he raises his voice, how his jaw clenches, how he feels hot and prickly, how his breathing gets rapid, how his thoughts turn to static, etc.
Instead of telling me “The cafeteria was in chaos”, you could show me someone covered in food and slowly turning crimson, children rampaging under the feet of helpless adults, frenzied shouting, etc.
Handy Hint! Try to avoid phrases like “I heard”, “I felt”, “I smelled”, etc. These are still “telling words” (also known as filters) and may weaken your prose, as your readers could be taken out of the experience and you may lose their attention.
.-.-.
Is Showing Always The Right Thing to Do?
No! Showing is not always right and telling is not always wrong! It’s important to develop the skill and instinct to know when to use showing and when to use telling, as both can be appropriate in certain occasions.
So, “Show, don’t tell” becomes “Show versus tell”.
.-.-.
What is Showing and Telling?
Showing is “The grass caressed his feet and a smile softened his eyes. A hot puff of air brushed past his wrinkled cheek as the sky paled yellow, then crimson, and within a breath, electric indigo”
Telling is “The old man stood in the grass and relaxed as the sun went down.”
Both of these excerpts are perfectly acceptable to use in your writing! But both do different things, although their meanings are pretty much the same. The first example is immersive, sweeping, visual, engaging. The second example is much more pared back and functional. But both have their places in prose!
Telling is functional. Think about when you tell people things. You tell your children dinner is ready. The news reporter tells you there’s a drop in crime rates. Your best friend tells you she’ll be late because her car broke down on the way to yours. These are brief and mundane moments in everyday life.
So, do these deserve multiple paragraphs with sensory detail and action/feeling/thought for every little thing? Do you need to spend an entire paragraph agonising over a minor detail when there’s a sword dangling (physically or metaphorically) over your MC’s head? No. And I’ll explain why.
.-.-.
When To Use Telling
As before, telling is functional. It’s brief. It’s efficient. It gives a gist of a situation without getting bogged down in detail.
Showing is slow, rich, expansive, and most certainly not efficient!
Here’s an example of some telling:
“Years passed, and I thought of Emily less and less. I confined her to some dark dusty corner of my brain. I had to elbow my memories of her to the side. I was too busy with other things. Finishing school, then university a year later. Life was full and enjoyable. But then, one dark cold September night…”
You can’t show this example, unless you wanted to waste page after page of your MC waking up, going through everyday life, to get to the point your actual story started. If you do that, you will likely kill off any interest a reader would have in your novel and likely, your book itself.
.-.-.
Summing Up
Showing:
Should be used for anything dramatic
Uses thoughts, feelings, dialogue, action, and visual detail
Will likely be used more than telling
Telling:
Delivering factual information
Glossing over unnecessary details
Connecting scenes
Showing the passage of time
Adding backstory (not all at once!)
FIRE
"Someone! Please help!"
"Fire! Fire!"
"Call the firemen!"
"Aahhh!"
Fire.
Everywhere.
Screams and shrieks could be heard from miles away. They tried to extinguish the fire but there was no avail. In a few hours, everything gradually quiet down.
Not because they were saved but because they died.
Not even a single soul breathed after.
Left the world with unfinished business.

"Johnny!", Mark yelled from the opposite end of the hallway and ran towards his friend.
"Why didn't you wait for me?", he frowned.
Johnny gave him an annoyed look,
"I didn't wait for you? Man! I waited for you for freaking 30 minutes!", Johnny yelled. "And Rose even passed by. She offered to walk with me to the bus stop but I declined because I want to wait for you!"
"Oh... Sorry", Mark clasped his hands together while grinning.
"Erghh! I should have followed Rose!", Johnny exclaimed as he walked out of the door.
*
"Hey... Why haven't we reach the bus stop yet?", Mark asked Johnny. He shrugged.
"It's like we are walking in circles", Johnny replied with a frown.
"It's foggy too but it feels hot. Don't you think, Johnny?", Mark gave Johnny a worried look.
"And I should have followed Rose", Johnny glared at Mark and walked faster.
"Hey! Wait up!", Mark chased after Johnny.
*
"It's so hot.. I'm burning right now", Mark complained as he wiped his sweat. "Look my hair is ruined", he whined, pointing his wet hair to Johnny.
"Huh? You think I'm not hot? I waited for you for 30 minutes. Freaking half an hour! And here I am hearing you complaining about your damn hair!", Johnny yelled at Mark's face.
He was about to continue when Mark cut him off.
"I should have followed Rose", he said mockingly. "Go on! Leave me alone!", Mark yelled, turning to the opposite direction. "I'll find my way to that damn bus stop alone."
*
"How could he say that to me. I stayed up late last night to prepare his birthday card", Mark mumbled to himself.
"And why am I walking in circles? The fog is getting thicker it's getting hotter and I can't see a damn thing!", Mark stomped his feet and throw his bag to the ground. He sat down but immediately got up because the ground was hot.
"What the hell?!", he yelled.
Suddenly he heard distinct yelling.
"Help!"
"Help!""Fire!""Somebody help!"
Mark was horrified.
"What? Where's the fire?", he looked around.
Then, he saw a glint of light.
Suddenly, fire came towards him.
Mark ran as fast as he could but he realized that the fire had surrounded him. He coughed as he had swallowed so much smoke.
"If there's fire. Where's Johnny? Where's my other friends? Where's my family?",
Out of nowhere, Johnny came out of the blazing fire, unharmed.
"Jo-Johnny? How come you're fine? There's fire. You came out of the fire", Mark pointed at Johnny, confused. He looked around and rubbed his eyes.
There's still fire. He even pinched himself.
"This is not a dream. How come you're fine?", Mark frowned. Soot covered his face and he coughed.
"I'm not fine, Mark", Johnny said sadly. Suddenly, he melted.
His clothes burned. His eyes flowed out of its socket. He turned into a skeleton.
"I'm dead, Mark. So are you", the skeleton said and melted.
"What?! No...no...no.. This is not happening. I can't be dead!", Marked screamed, holding his head. He crouched down. It's hot but he didn't care. Then, he remembered.
*
"Huh? It's 2 in the morning already?", Mark said as he glanced at his watch. "Hmmm... never mind. I'm done with Johnny's birthday card. I hope he likes it", he smiled to himself.
"Hey... Why do I smell smoke?", he sniffed around. To his horrors, he saw a wood caught on fire fell down from above.
"Fi... Fire!", he screamed and ran outside his room.
"Mom! Dad! You there?!", he screamed for his parents but there was no response. He panicked and ran outside. Luckily, the front door of his house hasn't caught fire yet. He ran to the corridor and saw a swaying Johnny.
"Johnny! Johnny!", Mark ran to him and held him by the shoulder. "We're going to be fine", Mark assured Johnny although the both of them were already coughing badly.
"Mark, we're going to die", Johnny said weakly.
"No! We're going to survive!", Mark pulled Johnny up on his feet.
However, fate was cruel. A big ply of wood fell on top of them. The wood was to heavy on their weak bodies, they couldn't move. Johnny had embraced his sad fate but Mark kept chanting that they will survive.
"We'll survive. I'm sure the firemen will be here soon. They'll save us", Mark said.
"Just accept it, Mark", Johnny replied weakly.
"No, we're still young! We can't die! Don't worry, after this ends. You'll court Rose and I'll help Ten to get Lisa. We just need to wait for them to save us", he convinced Johnny.
But Johnny just sighed and closed his eyes.
"Hey, Johnny! Wake up! Wake up!", Mark slapped his friend so he could stay conscious but there was no avail, Johnny was dead.
As for Mark, he struggled to stay awake and kept on chanting he'll survive until his last breath.
*
"Oh my God! I'm dead", Mark whispered to himself and looked blankly at his surrounding. Fire.
Just fire.
*
"Sh**! The car broke down!", Doyoung exclaimed.
"I think we should go out and find some help", Jaehyun suggested.
"But this is no where!", Doyoung protested.
"It's worth a try", Jaehyun smiled.
Doyoung sighed but followed him anyway. After a few minutes of walking, they saw an old building. Before the both of them could say anything, someone greeted them.
"Hey, need some help?"
They turned around.
"I'm Mark", the guy introduced himself.
"And this is Johnny", he pointed at the tall guy beside him.
