jiuyuan is yuri to me

Not only do i like to make plans, but i's also something i kind of have to do to picture the place and make it plausible and accurate - escpecially if i want to make a comic.

That plan fixes the mistakes i made for the lounge one i did last year. I still believe the lounge looks like this somewhat, but i picture it wider now, the room was too small. Making those plans i had to remember that a usual exy team can fit up to 30ish people in it, so common rooms had to be large, each locker room should be able to fit ~15 people and so forth.

Some AFTG sillies

Historically, a merchant clan could get very wealthy but still be stuck with extremely low social standing. The suppression of the merchant class was a pretty common theme throughout Chinese history, since they were for the most part regarded as societal leeches and potential threats to the Confucian social order. Merchants were often forbidden from entering into civil service and getting any kind of foothold among the ruling class (made up of the scholar caste and the aristocracy), and their influence and wealth was kept in check this way.

It’d shock nobody if even the most destitute of scholar clans looked down their noses at merchant families. Some would probably rather starve to death than have anything to do with them. You see a lot of historical narratives where a wealthy merchant would sponsor some poor peasant boy so he could study and sit in the imperial examinations, hopefully scoring high and gaining some kind of political office, transforming the fate his entire family (which would of course include one of the merchant’s daughters). You also see some stories where the peasant boys do a bit too well and go, actually I have better options now, thanks but bye 😅

on the contrary, you are displaying the things that can hurt or upset or trigger you to strangers on the internet just for what? an extra performative point? obviously I’m not gonna judge people who have these dnis on their blogs because it’s their blogs and what they do is not my business. so I apologize if this post sounds like I am being rude or judgmental or aggressive — sometimes I do have bitchy opinions on the concepts of Things people do, but not about the people who choose to do them. but yeah tbh I really think these dnis are about as useful as putting a “do not rob” sign in front of a bank or a “thief and intruder dni” sign in front of a house.
