This is my favorite little moment from the Jin x Wim cloud-watching meet cute because of, you guessed it, linguistic wordplay :D

After Wim says that he's going to get Phu's number from someone else, Jin says, "a tiger" referring to the cloud that they've been watching. But tiger/เสือ (listen here) sounds awfully close to nosy/เสือก (considered rude; listen here), which explains why Wim turned around with the quickness to ask for clarification because ain't no way he just heard his junior—who's pratically a stranger—call him nosy, right? However, after Jin elaborates while sporting that cheeky smile of his, Wim relaxes and picks up the game where they left off. Isn't language amazing?

a cool look at how stunts in acrobatic lion dance work underneath the lion & in context!

the world of competitive lion dance is no joke, with some teams training year round for the purpose of competing. additionally, competition-grade poles follow standards set by international regulations, which detail how far apart the poles should be, their height, the diameter of the footpads, and more.

dancers are judged on the overall shape of the lion, emotional expression, accurate portrayal of their submitted storylines, etc. each team starts out with a base score of 10, and judges evaluate which points to deduct from there over the course of the routine.

Genuinely don't know what it's called but there's a particular way of violating reality that doesn't work. For example, I am willing to accept an omegaverse university AU of nearly any fandom you care to name (except, for some reason, Sherlock, because I have an inexplicable hatred for unilock). However, a lot of Star Wars university AUs specifically fail on this aspect: they make Anakin an engineering PhD student and Obi-Wan something like literature or classics, and then they make Anakin his TA or GA.

You can't do that. Absolutely not. Anakin is unqualified for that and a university would not do it in any case. A university would literally hire a junior or senior undergraduate workstudy student to do as much of that work as possible first. They would do NOTHING other than do that and make the prof do all his own grading.

Is there a name for "I will accept [wild fantasy premise] but not [ordinary wrong thing]?" Please tell me there's a name for this. Probably someone who studies lit will know? I'm a systems person I don't know from lit theory just like Anakin
