Give me some handwriting practice!

[presumenothing]

Because yes, who even does anything off-keyboard these days… but all the same, probably good to not let my handwriting go down the drain completely! or further down than it already has LOL

So: come suggest some words or quotes you'd like to see handwritten! From Guardian or any other fandom/non-fandom sources, anything goes. The only criteria:

• Comment with the text and source if any (or provide a video link + timestamp if it's from subs),
• Not be longer than a few lines total, and
• Preferably in simplified, because I have, like, next to no experience writing traditional (but if you'd like to see me try then sure, I'm still game).

I'll write and add my own after work. (Which is being immensely uninteresting today, hence this to 解解闷 in an educational(?) manner…)

And of course, if you'd like have a go at writing too, feel free to join in! The more the merrier.

那就放马过来吧! 🏇

(pfah, I'm sure Shen Wei has learned some magical Dixing power to write level lines even on plain paper!! along with the neat blackboard writing, that's another one I don't have)

I do all right on both (thankfully, since I do write on blackboards regularly these days), but now I'm wondering whether I would when writing Chinese as well - currently my brain classifies that still as drawing more than writing (sigh)...

I haven't written Chinese on any board in… wow, I can't even estimate how long it's been. Writing characters any larger than my default size (蝇头细字 – there's another questionable idiom for you, how are fly heads relevant to small writing) is already challenging enough on paper without the sizes going all uneven.

This is still how my mom writes Chinese to this day, lmao. Which is why she doesn't…
