rocky: shhh grace asleep now

grace: no, 'm awake

rocky: grace asleep now, command.

grace: I just wanted to say--

rocky: grace need sleep now, you always stupid when you try to speak at this time.

grace: I just wanted to say that if you're, I don't know, still a little mad or resentful about me trying to operate on your radiators and almost killing you that one time--

rocky: no no no, we talk about this before, rocky not mad. not happy about it, either, but understand. I live, is okay.

grace: yeah yeah, I remember, you were weirdly calm about it in a way that was a liiiittle concerning. so, yknow, if you were upset and holding something back to try 'n be nice--

rocky: rocky is not nice.

grace: okay not true. BUT, right, if you DID have some feelings that you weren't letting yourself vent, I was just thinking that, like, if you wanted to make it even and express some of your frustration, I would let--I mean, if you wanted to, and if you asked, if you thought you could get something out of it, like, either scientifically or emotionally or something, I wouldn't actually say "no" if you said that you wanted to. yknow. operate on me. like as mini-revenge.

rocky:

rocky: rocky no want "revenge." statement.

grace: aw, are you sure? 🥺

rocky:

grace:

rocky:

grace: ...I have been awake for, uh, twenty-two hours. sooo maybe we just forget I said any of that? maybe ignore all of that? ha ha. ha.

Okay not gonna cry over him constantly putting others before himself . Instead can we just point out shen yuan is such a hater he helped everyone except for Shang Qinghua

There are only two people in the world Shen Yuan will neglect:

1. Himself

To push him away during this moment would be like giving a young maiden -- one who'd finally worked up the courage to call and brokenheartedly weep to an older sister for comfort and encouragement -- a face-turning slap. It was really a bit cruel. (Chapter 11 in vol. 2 of the English translation)

this stands out to me because this is shortly after he finally realized binghe is attracted to him, while he's still grappling with the fact that he's "turned binghe gay." it's yet another example of sqq equating being gay with femininity -- he knows binghe is into men now, and thus begins him repeatedly referring to binghe's behavior as that of a maiden's

So yeah neurodivergent children do act a way

I thought they were going to switch back to Japanese long term after the episode opened with the Mongols speaking that, but nope, they’re committed to it, especially when it’s time to emphasize the cultural divide between the Persian locals and their invaders. This shit makes the linguistics/history degree in me so excited lol.
