Helooo just wondering if ur planning on including bingge vs bingmei in future in syonr? :3

at the moment? Not really. I mean it's funny to compare syonr!Binghe to not only Bingge but also svsss!Bingmei, because syonr!Binghe has like.... an insanely different experience than those two even as a white lotus. Those two always strive for SQQ's approval, even when abused, all the way until the Abyss. Yes, even Bingge didn't give up until he was literally left for dead and kicked into a hell that even demons struggle to survive in.

syonr!Binghe meanwhile considers the man a grouchy and annoying in-law that he doesn't trust but also doesn't feel a desire to hurt, because for whatever reason his precious Yuan wants the bastard's approval. And even then, he does arguably trust SQQ to be Shizun and a peak lord, he just doesn't trust him with SY's emotional well-being because, quite frankly, SJ sucks at it.

So.... it would be fun, yes, but at the moment it's more fun to think about it than to write it? For me at least.

Funny story from the other night:

A dad came into my cafe with his 3 year old daughter.  He bought her a cookie and himself a coffee.  They sit down, and I go back to my pre-closing cleaning.  Three minutes later the dad walks up to the counter again, so I stop cleaning and walk over to greet him again.

As I’m in the middle of saying “hi” he cuts me off and says “Water.”

Not “Can I get a glass of water, please?” not “Where can I get water?” not even a confused “water?” like he’s not sure how to get water in this cafe.  Just a single word demand.

I work in silicon valley, so I’m kind of used to techies talking to me like I’m Siri or Alexa, but it still always drives me crazy when they do this.  Like, I don’t even care about the “please” anymore, I just want people to talk to me in complete sentences.  So I get the guy a cup of water, and he sits back down. 

As I’m about to go back to cleaning I hear his daughter go “Daddy, you did that WRONG.  You have to say ’CAN I have a glass of water PLEASE’”

My jaw hit the ground.  The dad suddenly became flustered and tried coming up with excuses “I-I said please…” “No you didn’t!” “Well she was busy…. I didn’t want to bother her…..” “You still got to be polite!”

When they were done eating the dad brought the dishes back to the counter and said “Thank you so much!” It’s amazing how fast someone’s manners can improve when a 3 year old calls them out.

Shout out to whoever is teaching that little girl manners, because you know it’s not her dad.  I hope she never stops calling rude people out.

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

OK here's another idea (as always feel free to disregard): children take a while to figure out how to word things politely and even to tell white lies. One of my relatives mentioned how she took her daughter to a clothing store and tried out a dress in front of her, and the girl said "That looks pretty!" And her mom was so flattered and praised her daughter for being kind. Then her daughter said, "Thanks! I was going to say that it makes you look fat, but then I remembered to be polite." LOL this reeks of Anya. Roasting Franky. Or Fiona. Or Twilight. Or Yuri. Or Damian. (Def not Yor cuz she's perfect)

it kinda reads like a calvin and hobbes comic

My biggest ick about kindle girlies on Book Tok is that, contrary to the idea of e readers, they glorify overconsumption. Why do you need 5 different e readers in the span of a year when they last YEARS?!

No one is doing it like Annie Leonhart.

5'0" war criminal. Homoerotic tension with her longtime prison guard. Occasionally turns into a 15 meter tall skinless monster that does judo. Daddy's girl in a depressing and violent way. Only smiles at inappropriate times. Pulled a cute twink boyfriend despite actively waging war on his country.
