Silly 兔年 puns! Courtesy of Zhu Yilong’s studio and my friends A-Pei and Yu-jie.
嗨皮兔哟 (this one just needs to be read aloud)
钱兔似锦 (original version: 前途似锦, all good things ahead)
扬眉兔气 (original version: 扬眉吐气, a big relief, a weight off your shoulders)
宏兔大志 (original version: 宏图大志, big plans for the future)
兔飞猛进 (original version: 猪飞猛进 (? I suppose around here it should be 朱飞猛进), driving forward bullheadedly)
好事成兔 (original version: 好事成双, good things come in twos, omigod this is a BILINGUAL pun, I love it. Also, irrelevantly to 兔, there’s apparently an ice cream shop in Taiwan called 好事成霜)

那新年第一周，大家都好好享受好好生活，注意点健康～

You and me both, this kind of thing is THE BEST. :D

Isn't it? Worth learning another language for the puns alone... :)

I'm very behind on everything, especially here. I'm looking forward to catching up. Eventually.

In the meantime, via this Tumblr post, I found out that Bai Yu writes classical Chinese poetry and here's one:
石径埋火种，风卷尘飞扬。
上行路漫漫，山高天地长。
芭绿别春意，斯人何处去。
沙流金石停，吾心忆此方。

The posts will be there when you're ready for them! No hurry.

oh my goodness. That's AMAZING (as is the description of his childhood home in that post), 谢谢！

All the rabbit puns! <3

🐰 <3 (oh, I learned the word for "pun" the other day too, it's 谐音)

OMG the puns are the best. I'll only be able to remember the last one, because it's the only one where I know all the characters already - *and* its bilingualness immediately gives it double points.

Also, "all good things come with frosting" is an amazing name. :D

I know! I love it!

I used to know this--Taiwan actually has three words for ice cream, one is 冰淇淋 like normal ice cream, and then there's 霜淇淋 which is like, frozen yogurt? I think? and then there's another one that's Taiwan-specific, I think for shaved ice, 剉冰 tsua-ping or 刨冰 baobing, which I just had to look up ;) So the "frosting" ice cream store is definitely using 霜 from 霜淇淋 🍦
