stop worring about things you can't control, at the end of the day everything works out in your favor!

i don't have the screenshots on hand because this is just a thought i needed to let out after being woken up by my buildings fire alarm at 7am (i am in shambles, thanks for asking) but back at the start of canto 7 i was trying to figure out what in the Fuck hong lu meant by don quixote being 'the most lucid' of the sinners and eventually my read was that she's the one who's most clear on what she wants because hong lu brought up how her eyes are sparkling and the two times dante notes someone's eyes sparkling in that episode (?) were when don talks about saving all the people in la manchaland and when charon says she wants to eat candy at an amusement park, and also this would very nicely mirror the bit in the final sancho fight when dante ruminates about how so far they've been trying to help the sinners out of their issues by figuring out what they want and then promising it to them but with sancho she doesn't want anything because everything she's wanted as don quixote was part of that dream that she's now woken up from (especially with dulcinae talking at length about the difference between sancho and don's eyes)

but like..... there's one other thing about eyes that dante notices in that early episode

so i'm wondering if this is an idea that's gonna come back in canto 8, that dante's old tricks aren't going to work here either because hong lu just doesn't really want anything for himself when he's been living his whole life surrendering (hah) himself to being used by other people for their own goals

Not Canto VII beating it into our heads how immortality and power is inherently miserable without the other fixings that would lead a mortal life to joy as soon as Jia Xichun brings up how the Elders are searching for the cure to mortality

So I found this on Weibo and I couldn't stop laughing. This is incredibly niche but I feel the need to share and explain this to my friends on this side.

So the bottom half is the photos that we initially thought were the royal suitor photos before the movie came out, then realized it was in the texting montage, then confirmed by Matthew that this actually isn't Alex and Henry, it was Taylor and Nick chilling between takes.

NOW, the photo on top is a still from 1987 TV show adaptation of one of the four Chinese Classics: "The Dream of the Red Chamber". That is the main couple reading another classical Chinese novel (yes this is very meta) "Romance of the Western Chamber" together, and I think this book that they're reading is the first romance novel/love story to have the couple be in starkly different social standings yet be together in the end.

This isn't a case of parallel in the same sense as my posts putting firstprince and Rapunzel x Eugene or Simba x Nala or Jack x Rose together and finding similarities. In fact, the couple from Red Chamber is nothing like firstprince or Taylor and Nick, not even remotely close, and their relationship ended in tragedy: spoilers, the girl died of a broken heart and the boy lost the will to live and became a monk.

But the point here is that this pair? This is our culture's Romeo and Juliet, our Pyramus and Thisbe. This scene in particular, this imagery of them reading in the garden together, has the same significance as the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet. Like, if you ask a Chinese person for an imagery from classical literature that depicts love, this is the image most people will say.

AND SOMEHOW THIS PHOTO OF TAYLOR AND NICK THAT WE ALL THOUGHT WAS ALEX AND HENRY LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT

This is the most random connection and it's definitely a stretch but as someone who cried over the ship in the top half at the age of 11 I am so fucking amused by this comparison

2,4, and 7 for the oc asks! For the lovely Jia of course

Ah, thank you so much for these, Eve! 💖 I have a long time to ramble about her...

☀️ask game☀️

2) Who's your OCs best friend? How did they become best friends?

Jia's best friend is Lydia. Lydia grew up in Whiterun (I headcanon that she's Jarl Balgruuf's niece, daughter of his brother, Hrongar!), so I think she and Jia have known each other for a long time, since Jia grew up in Whiterun as well. But they became best friends when Lydia was officially appointed to be her housecarl by the Jarl. Lydia is a very happy and 'open' person, vibrant and full of life—I think she helped Jia lower her walls and be more carefree... she's the best influence Jia could ever have (she's also a fantastic warrior, so there's also that!). And Jia never treated her like a housecarl, she was too shy and awkward to ask her to do anything for her. So, they began having a mutual respect and fondness for one another, which grew into a very powerful friendship. I think, aside from Miraak and the Companions, she's the only person she could ever trust completely. No wonder they built Heljarchen Hall and now live there together! They truly are home mates...🤲

4) What song describes your OC and their partner/love interest?

OUGH I HAVE SEVERAL FOR JIA AND HER MIRAAK. I think the most prominent ones are two, though:

Inkpot Gods by The Amazing Devil

(I made a vow out to the dark "Please, let her live just one more day Cause she is so much more than all her scars And if she doesn't have the will But it seems the whole world does, I'll stay, because I will be the man my father never was, literally Miraak to Jia)

(And to those gods, I will speak bluntly "We've an accord, if you ever touch or harm him Please, rest assured that you might not fear a man But to a woman, by the end, you'll kneel and plea 'Cause I'm more than what my mum told me to be, literally Jia to Miraak)

2. Wolven Storm, Priscilla's Song from The Witcher 3

(I know not if fate would have us live as one Or if by love's blind chance we've been bound The wish I whispered, when it all began Did it forge a love you might never have found? Just the fact that either by something bigger and uncontrollable such as destiny or fate or by sheer luck, these two found and loved each other and still wouldn't change anything about how they felt... CLAWING ON MY KEYBOARD.)

7) Vice-Versa! If your OC is in the modern day, what fantasy class would they be? Would they be a different race?

Okay, since Jia is already in a fantasy setting, I will answer what she potentially would be in a modern one!

I really see her doing a job that involves getting around people a lot. I can see her working as a nurse or a midwife (I'm inclining towards the second), being by a doctor's side (but not fully a doctor as she's not a healer in her universe too, only an alchemist), and helping people in need. She'd be a very home-lover, so she'd like spending her free time tending her garden, watching movies, or reading her books (SHE'D LIVE IN A VERY SMALL HOUSE IN THE WOODS, AWAY FROM THE CITY'S NOISES, ALONGSIDE HER MIRAAK). She would go for a walk when it'd be sunny outside while drinking her hot coffee and relaxing in nature. She would also move around only with her bike; she'd hate driving a car because she wouldn't stand it when she made a mistake and the other drivers yelled at her...🥲

I'm giggling at the fact that my faves (jannik and jia) are so good with their backhands

Jannik's backhand down the line and Zii Jia's signature backhand smash

[marigoldwriter]

I mean, if Jia is mute, I can add a deaf character to my fic without any problems, right? It's a genuine question because maybe it's very inconvenient for some, even though the fanfic is mine (incredible, isn't it?

[jias-obs]

yes, i may be a pathetic obsessive loser but im just a girl 😔

[girlblogger-2007]

I wont stop until I become perfect just like her

[dio-the-thot-exterminator]

Jia, our metal princess, this is her loungewear outfit 💀

[back2bluesidex]

I looove angst i just know Slide is gonna give it us good.

Also like i can think of a thousand possibilities, what if she´s gettin an abortion and Yoongi learns after? o maybe the same day, he´s rushing, not really sure about his feeling but confesses there? What if he never learns about the pregnancy and meets her daughter (cus cmon Yoongi with a babygirl) years later, what if he´s only present as a father, dates Gyuri but ends up with OC at the end? ahhh im going inside with the possibilities!! Can´t wait

oh Jia! there are a ton of possibilities going round in my head too.

But I am deciding to go with something that will put Yoongi through a tough trial? let's see what happens. but I can give you a spoiler... She won't opt for an abortion.

Now we gotta see what our Mr. Min does when he finally gets the news.
