Teamoth

✴️ Feng Xin suggesting to cure a whole epidemic by getting everyone into weightlifting.

✴️ Shi Wudu seeing his sibling acting up and going "Stop trying to touch a pregnant woman you cretin that is WEIRD and don't even try turning into woman, that wouldn't make it ANY less weird."

✴️ The play called "The Red Demon Torched the Temples of Thirty-Three Gods and the Heavens Could Do Fuck-all About It".

✴️ When Qi Rong got bored and immediately started catcalling women on the street.

✴️ E-ming, Rouye, and Fangxin hanging out at Xie Lian's house like two 6 year olds putting on a show for papa and an emo teenager playing genshin in the corner.

✴️ This particular illustration:

Let’s start with the word “abyss.” The Chinese phrase used here 无间 is a Buddhist term and actually means “hell,” and specifically 无间 is the deepest and most horrific level of hell within the “eight hells” of Buddhism. 无间 literally means “no interval” because those condemned to this level of hell suffer non-stop and without intervals, and the hell itself has “no interval” in the sense that it’s endless both spatially and temporally. In fact 无间 is a fitting term for Jun Wu because Jun Wu’s suffering is agonizing, incessant, and interminable, just like this hell. It’s no wonder that Jun Wu felt personally attacked when Xie Lian said this line in front of him.

As for the word “paradise,” the Chinese phrase is 桃源 which literally means “peach blossom spring.” “Peach blossom spring” is a reference to a famous short story of the same name by Tao Yuanming (365–427 AD) (I’ll link the full text of the story here for people who’re interested). It’s a fantastical story of a guy who, after going through a mysterious cave near a field of blossoming peach trees, stumbled upon a utopian society cut off from the outside world where everyone leads a happy and peaceful life, but where no one is aware of what’s going on in the world outside of their own small community. So 桃源 isn’t so much paradise in the Christian sense as an earthly paradise, or a utopia that people can retreat into to hide from the chaos and strife of the world.

Realizing that a species is imperiled has broad connotations, given that it tells us something about the plight of nature itself. It reminds us of the need to implement conservation measures and to protect the region of which the species is a part. But aside form the broader picture, species have intrinsic worth and are deserving of preservation. Surely an oddity such as C. vicinella cannot simply be allowed to vanish.

We should speak up on behalf of this little moth, not only because by so doing we would bolster conservation efforts now underway in Florida, [highlighting begins] but because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing. [end highlighting]

But is quaintness all that can be said on behalf of this moth? Does this insect not have hidden value beyond its overt appeal? Does not its silk and glue add, potentially, to its worth? Could these products not be unique in ways that could ultimately prove applicable?
