i spent 10 minutes scanning ceara's following list on instagram to see if i could spy any potential gawyns, you know, as one does of a sunday, and ngl i did spy a potential gawyn! i cannot emphasize enough the fact that i have 0 actual evidence to support it and that you should not trust me in any way - i'm purely going by Vibes here. (and by the fact that ceara follows him, as does donal but donal was liking posts of his back in like 2019 so i doubt WOT is how they know each other. and by the fact that he has 0 posted or tagged pics between late april-early august 2023 aka when the bulk of s3 was filming. but other than that i have 0 evidence!)
and so there's a 99% chance i'm wrong in which case i am prepared to accept the shame of having public evidence of my clownery, but i had to make this post in case of the 1% chance i end up being right and needing public evidence of my prophetic abilities and my gawyn-spotting abilities. can the leakers PLEASE just take pity on me, i'm obviously losing my wits over here djkfg

So I finally decided to sit down and tackle Set Me Free (超度我) by FloruitShow, aka the most recent holder of the coveted 'oh I love this song but it's fucking untranslatable' spot in my brain, also a song I can confidently recommend by saying I can almost guarantee you've never heard anything like it before. Give it a listen! I promise you won't regret it
Note: the reason this song is such a pain in the ass is because the chorus consists almost entirely of quotes directly from the Diamond Sutra, so translated lines in bold are lines I took from this translation, with some help from this site. Usually I take pride in saying translations by me but let's just say translating the Diamond Sutra is... a bit beyond me
超度我 - Set Me Free
来不及
There's no time left
最后一句想你来不及让你知道
No time left to tell you one last 'I miss you'
再也回不去
We can't ever return
那个有彩虹出现的下午
To that afternoon when the rainbow appeared
再也感受不到你温度
I won't ever feel your warmth again
如果你留我在梦里
If you could leave me in my dreams
我会放弃呼吸
I will give up my breath
请 超度我
Please, set me free
若以色见我以音声求我
If one sees me in form, if one seeks me in sound
是人行邪道 不 不能见如来
He practices a deviant way and cannot, cannot see the Tathāgata
一切有为法 如梦幻泡影
All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows
如露亦如电 应作如是观
Like dew drops and lightning flashes, contemplate them thus
非空非有 亦空亦有
Present yet absent, existent yet non-existent
不生法相 无所住
Do not conceive of Dharmas, have a mind of no abode
非空非有 亦空亦有
Present yet absent, existent yet non-existent
不生法相 无所住
Do not conceive of Dharmas, have a mind of no abode
对不起
I'm sorry
不经意就在你的影子里活下去
It's so easy to live on in your shadow
我不在意
But I don't mind
不过是白日梦里一瞬息
It's just a moment in a daydream
为何还起念动心
Why does my heart still stir?
怪你名字太熟悉
It's all because your name is so familiar
当我是一花一叶一春木
If I could be a flower, a leaf, a spring sapling
可否回到世界之初
Could we return to the beginning of it all?
请 超度我
Please, set me free
若以色见我以音声求我
If one sees me in form, if one seeks me in sound
是人行邪道 不 不能见如来
He practices a deviant way and cannot, cannot see the Tathāgata
一切有为法 如梦幻泡影
All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows
如露亦如电 应作如是观
Like dew drops and lightning flashes, contemplate them thus
非空非有 亦空亦有
Present yet absent, existent yet non-existent
不生法相 无所住
Do not conceive of Dharmas, have a mind of no abode
非空非有 亦空亦有
Present yet absent, existent yet non-existent
不生法相 无所住
Do not conceive of Dharmas, have a mind of no abode
我的执念 万千千千
My obsessions, hundreds of thousands
放不下地 放不下天
I can't let go of the earth, I can't let go of the sky
我把红线折折剪剪
I cut and fold at the red string
落入凡间镜重圆
I fall to the mortal realm to seek reunion

Eh fuck it. I'll just make The Discourse Post and just not have it be a fucking text essay.
One of my biggest issues with TME/TMA discourse is how much its based on assigning who is affected by oppression, in ways that are just FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG ACTUALLY.
If your method of analyzing oppression is built on a premise where you if you met the author of "I Am A Transwoman. I Am In The Closet. I Am Not Coming Out." you would look her directly in the eyes and say "You aren't the target of transmisogyny, actually" then quite frankly... your method of analysis sucks shit.
My OTHER big issue is... every fucking post about it sounds like this fucking tweet tbh.
Yeah, I'm sure that the dickhead looking to curbstomp someone who falls outside of gender norms entering a public restroom, is gonna go "Oh! You are a tranny with LADY PARTS! My mistake!"
