A little game…?

[presumenothing]

It's already TGIF where I am, so 我们来玩玩游戏吧！

Since languages are all about connections, and everyone sees different patterns in the chaos:

Post a bit of vocab below, and I (plus anyone else who wants to play!) will reply with other bits of vocab that feel related to it!

Any shape or size of vocab goes – whether a single character or an idiom, your favourite word or one you just learned.

If you're responding, feel free to add why these words seem related to you! "They're the same shape/sound", or "it's a valid answer to 接龙ing the above", or "it came up together in one line of this show"… anything goes! 放飞创意吧！

(What I really want is a Chinese space show set IN space, on a spaceship or something ...)

Same, I would love that! For movies there's The Wandering Earth, which apparently was hugely popular, but I watched it and really wanted to like it and... did not. :P

There's supposed to be a sequel out in January, though, so maybe its popularity will eventually lead to some shows with IN SPACE settings...

Oh, that reminds me that I've been wanting to watch The Wandering Earth for literal years! I was looking forward to it before it became available here, because the trailer looked super relevant to my interests - and then when it did, somehow I totally failed to actually watch it, LOL. *puts it at the top of the list*

Fingers crossed for IN SPACE as a new trend!

I'd love to hear your thoughts about it if you watch it! To be fair I did see it under less than ideal circumstances, so I may have been too hard on it. ;D It at least definitely has a lot of IN SPACE in it, and I did find the premise interesting even if wildly implausible. XD And the CGI is great!

Will do, absolutely! No idea when, but hopefully still this year. *g*
