So I rewatched the first episode of Sagwa: The Chinese Cat for the first time since I was a kid and I broke down crying. Like yes itâs cheesy as hell, but I feel like I also suddenly understand myself. The show ran from when I was in preschool until first grade and looking back it had such a big impact on my life. I ended up going to China multiple times and if the pandemic hadnât happened I would be there right now on a language fellowship. (As it is, fingers crossed Iâll get to go to Taiwan come February.) I mean Iâm not saying I got a degree in East Asian studies and everything else because of Sagwa, but there was something about the show that helped me subconsciously fall in love with Chinese.
And I appreciate the show so much more as an adult whose spent years learning Chinese and about Chinese history. Like I could date the dynasty by the haircuts on the men (I mean the cue is distinctive but still.) The casual use of real chinese calligraphy and words.  Even just how the show emphasized that this was a province and there was a magistrate, when my child mind thought theyâd been talking about the emperor the entire time.  The villagers singing âYouâre my best friendâ to the magistrate was truly where I broke though. Itâs just so beautiful. (And I know the song they sing is a variant of the title song about Sagwa being my best friend, but that moment is still just wonderful)Â
But beyond that, Iâm just so touched by the messages of the show. Like thereâs a reason I clung to it as a kid. This episode talked about learning from our mistakes and how they donât always end in failure, as well as some posturing about not being mean to your siblings. But like this is episode 1 and I feel so happy. âTomorrowâs another day. And another adventure.â Â

Everyone knows that their doubts eat them inside.
Each relationship or friendship has ups and downs but that is life.
On the other hand doubts kill everything
they kill trust
and make you the weakest person
Okay, so, This is for a RP site that Iâm on; there a section where I have to write a few plots, but I couldnât just narrow it down to a few that would fit in the box, so Iâm giving everyone this long list. I hope you find one that you like.Â
PS - none of these prompts were written by me - I have gathered them from the far reaches of the interwebs. If you see one that you know is yours, let me know if you want specific credit, or to take it down.Â
