Okay, I also have a scene - not fic, not plot, just scene - in my head of the Junior Quartet trying on Liusan's glasses like "Wow everything's so blurry!" And he's like "Yeah, I'm nearsighted and these correct my vision to normal. Like right now you're all just blobs of color to me. But if your vision is already normal, they have the opposite effect on you."

And then Sizhui puts them on and is like "Wait. You're supposed to be able to see individual leaves on trees? You're telling me you guys see like this all the time?"

Okay I know I'm incapable rn of shutting up about Brilliant Class 8 and Chen Liusan HOWEVER

In one of the episodes I watched today idr which, somewhere between 6-9, we got to see a class he was teaching for the first time and all the students were bored out of their skulls, little cartoon ghosts floating out of their heads, out of the classroom, and blowing away on the wind.

Y'all he is a teacher who genuinely LOVES the subject he's teaching. He's the math equivalent of the chemistry professor who on the first day of class goes "wanna see something cool", hops up on the desk, dips a rose in liquid nitrogen, and whips around to shatter it against the blackboard. (Yes, this is a very specific example.)

I don't really enjoy math, I don't know how to make it interesting. But a teacher who loves their subject and wants to share that love with their students would. And even if the students aren't as excited about it as the teacher, that energy is still contagious and it makes the learning process fun and engaging.

Liusan wouldn't be off in his own little world muttering to the blackboard while teaching, even though that's how he winds down in his personal time. Like I understand it as a comedy device but it's just not the way things work. He'd be engaged and engaging, at least once a day managing to create a feedback loop of sheer excitement with one or more of his students.

me, watching episode 1, seeing Liusan for the first time: ah, savant syndrome

me, watching episode 3, when Liusan mentions the number 3 being important: savant syndrome and number ocd?

me, watching episode 4, when Liusan infodumps for several minutes straight about why three is the best number and clearly still has more to say but has to leave for his class: autism. definitely autism. probably savant syndrome, too, but definitely autism

me, finding out "Liusan" is 六三 (6, 3): autism, and also trans and named himself after his special interest, as one does

me, watching the episode 4 bonus scene, when Liusan is so deep in the hyperfixation he doesn't realize he's been picked up and carried outside over the security guard's shoulder: yeah, okay, auDHD
