people who don't study history will simply never understand the joy of reading historian beef. there's nothing like it

#when they're reviewing each other's work and they're just SHITTING ON IT????? wonderful #when you can tell the historian HATES whichever historical figure(s) they're writing about? incredible #one thing we must remember is that historians are just academic gossipers xx #what is JSTOR for if not to read the DRAMA #reading an absolutely SCATCHING rebuttal of an article on New England migration and honestly??? having a wonderful time #sometimes the history student just jumps out #history

every day i wish there had been a better solution for the qin su marriage problem.

in my fix-it fics i either have some other sect leader claim that he was actually madly in love with her this whole time and sweep her away for jgy's sake, have her mom confess earlier, make jgy decide to tell her for her own good and have them work together, or not give them a chance to meet and fall in love in the first place (i guess i could also make qin su have a miscarriage, but that's really sad and awful and not my preferred option at all), but all of those require tweaks to the circumstances, sometimes early on so they don't meet or jgy feels safe enough to talk with her or another confidant, or sometimes later like madam qin finding out they're pregnant before the marriage prep is too far along and telling one or both of them right away so they can make other arrangements.

with the situation being what it was, jgy didn't find out soon enough to do anything that wouldn't involve either marrying her anyway (and he didn't think telling her about it would do anything except make her upset and depressed) or leaving her essentially a ruined woman with no prospects and an illegitimate child who would inevitably grow up fatherless, which is pretty much exactly what his dad did to meng shi. this would be a crueler option than pretty much anything else, and given that he clearly still cares about her, he couldn't do that in good conscience. jgy tries his best to protect the people he loves, unless there is literally no other way for him to survive.

it's one more example of jgy being faced with a situation where the only choices are bad ones, and making the decision that he thinks will hurt the fewest number of people. metatextually, it's one more example of women in fiction being shoved aside and not given agency in their own lives, and getting killed off instead of surviving and growing as people like the male characters are allowed to do. it's just a tragic situation all around and i wish there had been something they could have done.

#the untamed #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #cql #chen qing ling #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #jin guangyao #qin su #mxtx #mo xiang tong xiu #yunmeng bee posts #this encapsulates the tragedy of jgy's life in a lot of ways imo #there's also the aspect of jin rusong - jgy believes there's a chance of him being born disabled in a way that would suggest incest #which would spell disaster for not only him‚ but also qin su and rusong himself #the few academic articles i was able to access (aka not behind a paywall) suggest that the penalty for incest in ancient china +#+ was public execution of both parties! jgy emphatically does not want that to happen to either himself or qin su!#now i don't know how likely it would be for jrs to have some kind of condition that would make people suspicious #(i've done some research on it bc i was curious‚ but it was either vague‚ behind a paywall‚ or too technical for me to understand haha)#but jgy is (justifiably!!) paranoid. people are already gossiping and speculating about him - this would ruin him‚ his wife‚ his child‚#and possibly his friends too #whether you believe he killed his son or not‚ you have to admit that letting qs carry him to term was an incredibly risky decision #and i think it was because he loved her. he wanted her to have the child she wanted.#if she couldn't have a husband who couldn't be around her without fear & distress‚ she would at least have her son. he wanted that for her.#it would have been so easy for him to slip her an abortifacient‚ or to smother the baby while he slept or give him poison #and blame it on the kid being fragile/the high death rate in children. i don't think they knew what sids was but sometimes babies just die #because he didn't kill rusong in utero or when he was a newborn‚ i find it unlikely that he arranged rusong's death years later #but everyone can have their own opinion on that i guess #again... if jgy was as awful as people seem to believe he is‚ he'd have just murdered his way out easily and survived the book!#his love is his downfall!!!

This. If I could fill my entire dashboard with just academic discourse, I would. Academic drama is the only thing that makes academics worth it some days

the semester hasnt even officially started yet and im already going insane over department drama. apparently the new department head has been using department funds to order himself designer satchel bags (while also trying to cut a very popular astronomy lab class due to "costs"), and told one of the secretaries that because she is the person primarily organizing the department picnic that SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO ANYONE AT THE PICNIC?? BECAUSE SHE'S TECHNICALLY WORKING??? like absolutely going feral can you imagine how this man treats service workers. anyways my friends and i are gonna go hang out with that secretary for the entire picnic bc we already liked her and enjoyed interacting with her and if new department head has a problem with it im gonna roast his silly little $300 designer leather satchel bags that he bought on department dime

#academic drama #academia #academics #dark academia #academic discourse #academic gossip #bc that's what it really is #and that's all that academics want #in the end
