Firefly character banners

[locker_monster]

I think the smartest thing I ever did in university was try to learn a new language, that language being Chinese. Then, after three years' worth of courses, I promptly forgot everything, which has to be the stupidest thing I've done. Use it or lose it, right?

Well, what better way to use my forgotten Chinese than with some Firefly banners! One for each character with an appropriate quote for each. The quotes are probably horribly translated in Chinese, the only ones I'm really sure about are Jayne's and Zoe's, but the average person isn't going to know, right? ;-)

I'm not rightly sure what you'd used these for, but they were fun to make:

I've been learning Mandarin by watching "Ni Hao Kai-Lan," also learning about feelings and sharing. :)

I used to watch Kai-Lan. They should seriously use it as a teaching tool for adults wanting to learn Chinese. It's more entertaining than learning it from a book. :-)

Kai-Lan rocks. My kids love it and so do I.

Use 'em however you please. :-) It was good fun trying to find the right quote for each character.

these are awesome. mind if i take the "misbehave" for my info screen?

[locker-monster.livejournal.com]

Go right ahead. I guess I should have mentioned these are snaggable. :-)

[evil-girraffe.livejournal.com]

Sweet! Snagged the Jayne/River ones :D

[locker-monster.livejournal.com]

I'm quite fond of the Jayne one. The Chinese is accurately translated in that one and Jayne looks like such a bad ass. :-D

These are absolutely gorgeous!

Oooh, pretties!!!

Thanks!

Stole a bunch. No idea what I'll use 'em for either, but they were shiny and I wanted them.

[locker-monster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wasn't really sure what you could use them for. People seem to be putting them in their profiles. *shrug* I just had fun making them. :-)

[annabella.livejournal.com]

Pretties! Thank you!

[locker-monster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was a fun excuse to browse through Serenity screencaps. ;-)

[sandypawozbun.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this. :)

Borrowed Aim to Misbehave for my journal.

[locker-monster.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :-) Enjoy Mal misbehaving. Wait, that didn't come out right...

[utkari02.livejournal.com]

Lovely! I saved them all. :D

[locker-monster.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

These are so pretty!! And kudos to you for learning Chinese, I understand it's the single most difficult language for a native English speaker to learn. Rather intimidating to me since I struggle with French.

[locker-monster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, Chinese is a tough language. I also had issues learning French, but at least with French the letters are all the same. With Chinese, all you have are characters that don't look like the word at all.

Mal, Zoe and Wash had to be saved. *g* I'm not sure where they'll be used but I'll definitely credit when I do.

[krawling-khaos.livejournal.com]

Oooh shiny! These are really cool... me likey. Nabbed Mal for me profile. Will credit your awesomeness, for true. Spank you! ^-^

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

These are amazing. Saving all of them (and I'll probably pop one up on my userinfo with credit...the hard part is deciding which one).
