"Being rude is easy. It does not take any effort and is a sign of weakness and insecurity. Kindness shows great self-discipline and strong self-esteem. Being kind is not always easy when dealing with rude people. Kindness is a sign of a person who has done a lot of personal work and has come to a great self-understanding and wisdom. Choose to be kind over being right, and you’ll be right every time because kindness is a sign of strength." U.N. Owen.

Seeing the discussion around Master Sol being the only one from that ill-fated mission to stay on Coruscant is interesting. Indara, Kelnacca, and Torbin all ended up exiling themselves to far-flung worlds to atone for what happened.

Not Sol, though. He stayed. Which is certainly a choice. He, arguably, is the most culpable in the Brendok disaster. His inability to divest his feelings from the mission cost Osha and Mae greatly.

There is a good argument that Sol should not be anywhere near younglings after what happened, let alone still be in the Order.

I disagree. We immediately see his regret and guilt in the aftermath. He’s a changed man after that tragedy and the lessons he learned that night creates the Master Sol we see in present day.

Sol chooses to stay in Coruscant - not in denial of what happened, but in full acceptance of how horribly he messed up.

What’s the lesson he’s teaching to the younglings when we first meet him?

“Do not trust your eyes. Your eyes can deceive you.”

He would know best the importance of such advice. To always question what you see. To think before you act.

While the others seek penance in exile, Master Sol stays and does his best to pass on his knowledge - his failures and mistakes - to others, so they can learn to do better. Like a Jedi Master should.

The Odyssey would have been a lot shorter if Odysseus gave the Cyclops weed instead of wine.

“honor is not dead so long as he lives in the hearts of men”

“life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination”

“You are not worse for your association with the world, but it is better for its association with you”

Hilarious that in the literal first chapters of TSCIR, Yoohyun tries to lock up Yoojin (keyword being tries) and we all, collectively were like “unbelievable! How overprotective! How irrational! Violence!! He’s locking up his brother!! How inhumane”

And now it’s somehow become “SOMEONE SIT ON HIM. LOCK HIM UP! YOOJIN WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE BOMBS PUT THEM DOWN! STOP BLOWING STUFF UP AND PISSING OFF GODS YOOJINNN”

While Sung Hyunjae is just in the back handing him bombs.

The thing I love the most about the finale is how Zhuo Yichen vowed to roam the vast world to find Zhao Yuanzhou's soul, but it was ZYZ's soul who got to find him first at the end. This was such a testament about their love for each other.

"Bingyi once said that the most beautiful things in the world are false alarms and a reunion after a long separation. Having a friend (soulmate) who truly knows you, you'll have no regrets in life. Then I hope that when you reach the end, all your hardships will turn out to be false alarms and return after a long dream." - Ying Long

Liu Qingge, how many reps of various exercises do you think you could manage with Shen Qingqiu sitting on you as a weight?

What about the reverse?

Also for the sake of Shen Qingqiu's over all wellness and cultivation, what would you recommend he do physically (excercise plans, etc)? Perhaps even make him run through them until you're confident he can do them on his own. Since he tends to not understand when on Bai Zhan while training...

he could prolly do like 1000 pushups with sqq's weight on his back

sqq could prolly do like half of that

do you have a compilation of laios as a leader? i know chilchuck wants him to improve on this specifically but afaik his only few major misses was not realizing someone was trying to seduce him and causing everyone to call shuro the wrong name (recruiting him seems to be a net positive for the party tbh)

Would be hard to remember where those instances are in the manga but I have these from the daydream hour, Laios interactions with his team members and them giving him a score.

He's above average even for Chilchuck who is his biggest critic!

The issue Chilchuck means is that a leader should ideally be able to keep spirits high and resolve conflicts within the party, but Laios didn't even realize that was happening before they came to him and said it.

There's a reason why they keep following him tho, even tho he's not great with people skills he makes up with great skills in exploring the dungeon, he also cares a lot about the well being of his teammates and listens to what they need. I think this good nature compensates for the overall lack of social skills

From the sorbet episode it seems like Falin helped compensate for it too, helping him communicate with the others.

His second attempt at a pep talk before the dragon fight was also awkward

He's doing his best tho! That's also one of the things I love how his character <3

I just feel like he’d be Scared of them idk. Not that he’d let anyone know that
