There is something so special to me about how everyone else in this picture is striking a fancy pose n shit and then there’s Tal and Travis dead in the middle both just kinda. standing there. (Menacingly, one might say)

I AM NOW THE PROUD OWNER OF A 400-PAGE LONG BOOK OF ACADEMIC ANALYSIS ABOUT MDZS (both the novel and CQL, as well as the wider danmei sphere, internet authorship, fan reactions in both CN and non-CN spheres, and so many more interesting things – there are photos of the contents list below) >:DDDD

I only got it this afternoon so have only read the (quite long?) excerpt available online and pages I came across while flipping through, but everything I've read so far is really interesting and well-written. If you're interested, it's promoted on the blog of @pumpkinpaix, where there are also chapter spotlights with comments from authors of each paper/chapter about them and about MDZS in general (which is how I found out about it, one came up in tumblr's 'based on this tag you follow...' recommendation), as well as FAQs (including where to buy it, though I did link that at the start). Alternatively, all posts about it are in the tag #catching chen qing ling!

I really recommend it, especially if content about MDZS interests you! and I promise I haven't been told to advertise this it's just something so so cool... a collection of academic work about MY FAVOURITE BOOK... and I know people do follow me for meta/analysis so this might be the sort of thing people looking at this blog will be interested in..?

Kitty inflation is through the roof! All these snoozers and kitties are way more expensive than they were a few mere weeks ago! Thoughts?

Mace Windu would've fucking loved graph theory. Legitimately. Math nerd in a modern AU. he's obsessed with finding graphs with higher toughness. he's gonna find a graph of toughness 3 if it kills him.

Alternatively he can be the Václav Chvátal of his world and introduce the concept itself

... DOES PAYU KNOW WHAT PAKIN IS DOING TO GRAPH??? BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO BE REALLY MAD AT MY MAN.

Not... really.

Like, he knows Graph has this obsession with Pakin and follows him around. Pakin confiscates Graph's superbike early on and gives it to Payu, telling him to destroy it for scrap.

Payu fixes it up, and when Pakin allows, he and Saifah give it back.

Graph is in several incidents, either because of his obsession with Pakin or Pakin's enemies, where his bike is left in various states of fucked up, Payu always fixes it.

He can see that Graph loves Pakin, he can tell when Pakin is softening, and Payu (and Saifah) explicitely goes out of his way to praise Graph when Pakin is nearby. To tell him he did a good job at driving lessons or whatnot, kind of a nudge to Pakin that he needs to reward the boy.

They're aware of Graph's crush, they're aware Pakin is blunt to the point of being an asshole to the kid, and they're helping puff up his ego a bit.

Graph is extremely comfortable with Payu and Saifah. He trusts them, and they only ever show him a friendly temperament.

But there is never any situation where they would be aware of the darl elements of his and Pakin's sexual relationship. Payu can tell they're together, but he never sees the ugliness of the early weeks of their relationship (again, sexually speaking).

A map of every single band on the Metal Archives as of March 1st of this year, using the same dataset I used for this site. Each individual dot represents a single band, and each line indicates that two bands have a member in common.

A closeup, showing the lines in a bit more detail.

There are around 177k bands on the Metal Archives, and, of them, about two-thirds can be connected to one another by common members.
