Welcome to My Corner

☕ #AprilKofiRun25 Day 04 for @sleepyssnail! ✨

It's very amusing even as Shang Qinghua is clearly not hurt he still looks cowed. And Shen Jiu is thoughtful, leaving his Shidi to get beaten by a small child

The next day the kids barely break soil before Shen Jiu is like: "That one" pointing at Shen Yuan

Everyone is surprised and pleased with his decision he leaves and in a frantic bit of panic Shang Qinghua nabs Luo Binghe

Which leads to Shen Yuan repeatedly stealing Luo Binghe and when questioned he says "he belongs on Qing Jing, not with that man"

Shen Qingqiu is delighted by the spite and joins Shen Yuan in trying to get Luo Binghe to switch to Qing Jing but Luo Binghe actually quite likes An Ding and Shang Qinghua who ruffles his hair and personally taught him to read.

(Shang Qinghua just wants to not die)

Anyway Shen Qingqiu secretly delights in Shen's sassy and snarky ways but he's also bad with children so he's like "fascinating." *pokes Shen Yuan with a long stick*

Ming Fan tries to bully Shen Yuan and gets called a "forgettable cannon fodder" and "ant boy" and immediately deflates and cries

Mobei picks up on the half demon brat hears the explanation and how Shang Qinghua keeps referring to this kid as his Son and is just:

Mobei lightly smacks Shang Qinghua once in front of Luo Binghe who is already calling Shang Qinghua A-die and Luo Binghe yells at him about how Shang Qinghua hates being hit and it's bad and he hates him.

Mobei: humans don't like hitting?

Binghe: NO!

Mobei: oh shit. Okay um what do humans like?

Binghe: A-die likes noodles!

Mobei: ...I can work with this

He eventually wins over Binghe and gets Shang Qinghua to understand that they should marry for the sake of the child

Neither comment on the fact that a marriage of convenience doesn't require fucking even as they do it everywhere

Because of the fucking they get sloppy and Shang Qinghua is outed as a traitor before the conference and Mobei plucks him and Luo Binghe right out of the confrontation scene like "never talk to my husband and son ever again" and Shen Yuan who was slowly coming to the realisation that maybe he wasn't 100% straight is Distraught that his crush best friend is gone

And Luo Binghe is very upset that his crush is far away

The day Shen Yuan listened to Yue Qingyuan doing his best to be non offensive and said "Do you even have a personality or a spine?" He was richly rewarded

He's also actually a good disciple and good with the younger children but he is mainly there for Shen Qingqiu's entertainment

Until the brat turns it on him

They get into a screaming match and Shen Jiu is going to have this kid whipped and Shen Yuan yells something that cuts just enough and gets him SO MAD that he stops using corporal punishment out of spite

And once he realises he's been played it's too late because if he switches back he's lost even worse

Shen Yuan has to insult poor Yue Qingyuan at least 3 more times to get back in Shen Jiu's good graces

at some point he's like "well if you think you can do so much better with them, why don't you handle it, huh???" and expects shen yuan to cave and start hitting the other kids within like a day. is shocked and appalled when shen yuan is actually a good teacher for little kiddos? but then realizes that he has successfully pawned off his least favorite work on someone else and is like... maybe i'll just make him head disciple and let him do all the stuff i hate?

and shen yuan does it, moaning and grumbling internally all the way, because if he doesn't do it, then this scum villain will go back to fucking everything up and get their entire sect razed to the ground! so!

(shang qinghua in the background: man, luo binghe's not even on your peak, you don't have to do all that work...

enough.

(more doodles under the cut)

In the above thread, Dr. Glaucomflecken identified the glasses in the image, and attempted to, visually, establish the diopter value, that is to say, the level of correction given by the lens. Diopters are usually given without a listed unit. So when the doctor declared "she's a -1 maybe a -1.5" he was saying "the corrective lenses in the image appear to have a corrective factor of -1 diopters, meaning the individual is nearsighted to such a degree." He was excited to be able to identify the power of glasses lens from a photo, which is a very unique skill showing that one is very excited about the field of vision and corrective lenses.

In the early twenty-first century, people also rate photos of people (especially women) on a scale from 1 to 10 based on attractiveness. It's a very intentionally objectifying and dehumanizing practice, often intentionally "skewing" the otherwise arbitrary numbers for some agenda, such as lowering their victim's self esteem.

A negative 1 or negative 1.5 would be ridiculously and outrageously low, to the point where there is no positive interpretation of a person making such an already creepy statement on social media. It would be a mean spirited remark.
