the Relationship Ambiguity Zone™️ is a beautiful place to be. safe place to put your characters. put all characters into Relationship Ambiguity Zone. is that guy your mentor or your dad? Ambiguous!!! are you friends or enemies? Ambiguous!!! is it romantic? is it platonic? is it sexual? Ambiguous!!!!!!! never categorize anything ever in the Relationship Ambiguity Zone. just make them fucking weird about each other.

My pie in the sky goal for learning Chinese is to read a classic poem in the original language and actually understand why it is beautiful. My croissant high above sea level goal is to read a paragraph of the trashiest pulp their literary tradition can offer me and actually understand why it’s stupid as hell (complimentary).

I keep reading English translations of classic Chinese poetry where the poems are introduced by a tremendously sincere translator saying something like, “the exquisite verse of [Poet] has endured through centuries for reasons self-evident to any who read it,” and then I’ll read it and unfortunately. the reasons are rarely self-evident.

Honestly if I knew it was my last day in the time loop I think I’d get kinda sad and nostalgic about it

We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don't have community or meaningful connection with others, so we're all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when I say this situation is "interesting", what I in fact mean is that it's "nightmarish and I wish I could wake up"
