latest manhua chapter perfectly explains why i get mildly annoyed when someone refers to cheng xiaoshi and lu guang (as individuals) as time agents.

i know its bcs of translation, but time agents sounds so official and like, no? these 2 dudes arent agents. agents are cool black suits or combat gear with big agencies behind them. MIB type of stuff.

these 2 dudes are fresh graduates running a side hustle for some extra money. they aint agents. theyre the furthest thing from agents. get it straight.

After taking a break from Al Pacino movies, I've now watched "Chinese Coffee". Of course it made me sad, like most of the other films before ^^' I swear, the scene with the Photo Booth almost made me cry. No but I actually really liked it. I love these bottle episody kinds of movies. I would probably have to watch it again to really grasp all of the themes though. But the characters were very interesting! I was also surprised to find out through the ending credits that it was directed by Al Pacino as well. I think he did a really good job. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of flash backs but here the juxtaposition between the past (maybe even the book?) and the present worked for me. It helped that they were always really short. This sounds so bad but I'm also kind of glad that the women weren't really characters in the present. Obviously not because they're women (don't take it out of context please ^^') but because -for me at least- romance plots can derail an otherwise interesting character study and make it more flat and convoluted. That's actually the reason I dislike the latter part of "The Defiant Ones" (1958). The beginning is very well paced and interesting and then it just gets so slow and looses focus, in my opinion :(

i've been doing research to figure out a good name for zuko's ship and i FOUND one!! after like an hour and a half of looking up chinese ship naming conventions and finding and scrolling through the wikipedia page for a list of ships of the chinese navy, i found the perfect one! yangwei (揚威 - traditional chinese; trans. "show of force") was a ship in the imperial chinese navy active from 1881-1894. the whole "show of force" thing is very zuko, very fire nation. BUT the thing that sealed the deal for me was discovering that while yangwei is pronounced yáng wēi for this meaning, if pronounced with the different intonation of yáng wěi, it can mean "impotence". the fact that zuko was assigned his own ship that was outdated was already insulting, but if he was given a ship that, while having different characters than "impotent", could sound similar to that?? ough, that's too good to pass up
