Jason being the easiest kid is super funny. Bruce looking at Jason and remembering Dick at 18: “we can work through this. He’ll come around if I don’t give up on.”

Bruce, watching over a freshly street-snatched Jason: Why is he so calm

Having Dick as the rambunctious, feral, and unhinged first child must've given him SO much whiplash once Jason entered the picture. Lil guy just vibed in his own world. Just reading books and doing schoolwork. Baby Jason hurt nobody.

Bruce will just be going over the ground rules of the manor, remembering all the chaos Dick brought upon the household.

Bruce: No swinging from the chandelier.

Jason: ?? I wasn't planning to?

Bruce: No murder.

Jason: What? That never even crossed my mind-

Bruce: And please, for the love of God, don't sneak out and try to beat up the nearest criminal on our block

Jason:

Jason: WHO is responsible for these rules being created??

Bruce will just come home from a long day of work. He's tired and just wants a nice, quiet evening, but he's subconsciously psyching himself up to prepare himself for the chaos he'll witness once he enters the manor

but then Jason's just quietly doing his own thing, maybe even helping Alfred with some chores, reading, or just lounging about in the manor. In general, just causing no trouble and Bruce just turns to Alfred, all worried like, "Is he sick? I don't think children are supposed to behave this way."

it doesnt need to be said but its genuinely so funny how at-the-hip charles and erik are in krakoa like they really had the green light- the OBLIGATION- to be as obnoxiously close to each other as possible and abused that right to the fullest extent

The Seraphim & The Concept of Self

I wonder who picked the Seraphim's outfits cause at first glance when you only look at S-Hawk and S-Snake it feels like there's a standard uniform. then you see the whole group and there's definitely some individuality going on; like S-Bear just wearing a mini kuma outfit, S-Shark with the gi, my man Moria got a little suspender situation going on over there. S-mingo wearing a whole ass hawain shirt. So there's definitely some variety though they all incorporate white in some way. And I wonder if maybe they got some input into what they wore one of the only acts of "free will" they were allowed was choosing whether they wore shorts or long pants which is as adorable as it is sad.

Because think about the implications that they are dressed to the taste of their adult counterparts, right down to how doffy and mihawk like to open their shirts (except for S-Snake which thank god) but yeah what if it wasn't an allowance of free will but a test to see just how deep DNA ran. If it could influence something as simple as choice of clothing, just another fact for Vega punk to marvel at.

Or maybe the clothes were chosen by one of the Vega punks (I can imagine Shaka doing it) or one of the other various lab assistants. And it's just another way to get them to embody the warlords, to reinforce who they were cloned to be, impressing on them that they are not their own people, their lives are not their own. They are already predetermined; from what powers they get, to what weapons they use, even down to what clothes they wear. Everything reinforces that they are not people, just "better" "stronger" versions of someone else.

Either way, and It might have not have been purposely meant that way because I'm pretty sure Vega punk doesn't really register them as human (which is weird cause he treats stussy very humanly and a whole other can of worms seeing as they seem to be aware and possess a personality to some capacity) it's another way of dehumanizing them, reducing them to the people they are meant to become. They have no "free will" no illusion of choice; they have a predetermined destiny, a pre-determined order, there was never any room for choice even down to the shirts on their back.

lanzhou's earring and the many things it symbolizes (mutual possession, control of one's own fate, and a love that will last)

the ch 75 scene of cean putting an earring on lanzhou's ear signifies many things. first of all is their acceptance of each other. cean wants lanzhou to be his jade, and lanzhou wants to be cean's. it's a symbol of possession for both of them. cean likes to tame wild horses and falcons, to make them HIS legs and HIS wings. he wanted to tame his desire, and now he's done that. shen lanzhou is HIS.

lanzhou wanted to forget, wanted to feel and think nothing else but the scent of the sun. he welcomes the overwhelming feeling of cean. for 5 years people have told him who he was. he's the traitor's son, he's the duanzhou beauty's son, he's the devil, he's a pawn. but this time, he's only xiao cean's.

recently i found out that the earring is actually a clip-on (another confirmation here too) and it's assumed that after leaving qudu, at some point lanzhou's ears was pierced (And i will fact-check this in 2027 once we have all 8 volumes LOL)

i'm going to talk about li jianting and fengquan too, because i think the significance of earrings for them is an important juxtaposition to what it means for lanzhou aside from his acceptance of his own feeling as well as cean's.

li jianting's ear was pierced in xiangyun villa, because she was being used as a commodity. she was being treated as an object, and the earring reminds her that she was never in control of her fate.

fengquan had a similar situation, his ear was pierced to mimic a nobleman during a time when he was being abused. he was also treated as an object, and time and time again he's reminded that his life will never be his own.

i don't think it's a coincidence that the 2 other characters aside from lanzhou to have a significant connection with earrings are characters who had wanted to control their own fate, too. the sad sad difference is that only lanzhou was able to do that.

the fact that the earring was a clip-on, something temporary that he could remove if he wanted to, highlights lanzhou's ability to decide what to do with it. unlike li jianting or fengquan, he has control over his fate.

at the end of book 3, lanzhou says this to fei sheng

"do you know why i agreed to wear an earring?" now the tl might change, and this point might not hold up if the wording is actually different hagkhgh, but for now i'll say lanzhou agreeing to wear an earring also points to him being in control of his fate. he CHOSE to wear an earring. and why did he do that?

"because I know someone would leave, and those who disappear amidst the heavy snow would never, ever come back again… except for cean."

another layer of meaning to the earring: lanzhou who had been afraid of once again loving only to lose that love, had committed to cean because he believed he would be different. he'll never experience the pain of losing love again with cean.

and if he really had his ear pierced eventually, i think it's just further proof of lanzhou's commitment, trust, and love for cean.

i just wanted to say to people that i have written with , have yet to and have still not interacted with ( i’m so sorry ) that if i am not meeting your expectations , i will take no offence if you unfollow. i have an awful tendency to not reach out because of shyness and on top of that i am . . . a terrible replier. and i am so sorry for that. since this is a critical year for me and it’s the first time i’ve faced full time employment , my speed has absolutely fallen but i have always been relatively slow. i also get so easily overwhelmed and forgetful so if i ever miss your messages or anything please don’t hesitate to prod me again i won’t find it as pestering as long as it’s a gentle reminder. thank you for understanding i love you all.
