Yue Qingyuan is a fun character because depending on what angle you look at him from, he is either surprisingly well-adjusted or surprisingly unhinged.

If you're looking at Yue Qingyuan, the composed, reasonable, ever-polite sect leader, you will probably be taken aback by how much of that is just smoke and mirrors. And not just like one layer, either, it's not simple like "beneath that smiling facade he's actually an ambitious asshole" or something, no, beneath the first layer of smoke and mirrors there is another one, and then another one, all piled up and twisted together over a core that is a terrified and starving child. He's like one of those old English pubs where the wood rot is so thorough that it's actually what's keeping the roof from collapsing.

But if you're looking at the former slave child who had to be the biggest, most responsible of a gang of neglected and traumatized urchins, who ran away to become a cultivator only to make a wrong choice that got his entire body and spirit taken apart and put back together again, only to lose the one relationship that mattered to him, then the fact that he's anything other than a weeping mess on the floor is genuinely impressive.

Why would you have a phone call on speaker phone in a jury selection room?

literary analysis being posited as this boring grueling penance that only miserable people insist on is very dumb as an idea but its even more dumb to me, the guy who gets so excited about it that he has to clap and pound his fists against the ground and walk in circles at a dizzying speed unbeknownst to man

God there's something about the idea that Hector was wearing Achilles's old armor when he faced him to die. when Achilles saw Hector he saw a mirror of himself, and he knew exactly where to aim

So I wore a green shirt and a black skirt today. I have hair that's brown with a reddish undertone.

One of my students told me I looked like the lucky charms mascot. 🫤

The TikTok algorithm is slowly feeding me a collection of catchy pop songs about women who fall in love with women who love men and I'm very ace but they're bops and stuck in my head.

My hair has gotten down to mid back length again. I haven't had a hair cut since April of 2022, in part because I'm too lazy and antisocial to try and find a new hair salon, and in part because I'm cheap and $100+ for a haircut is insane.

But NOTHING makes me want to chop all my hair off more than having to blowdry it. 😭 There's a reason I've been airdrying it and putting it up in claw clips since Christmas Break.

Sun Tzu is so fucking funny to me because for his time he was legitimately a brilliant tactician but a bunch of his insight is shit like "if you think you might lose, avoid doing that", "being outnumbered is bad generally", and "consider lying."
