Cheng Xiaoshi [ 程 小时 ] ✧

Ue holds his face in his hands as

1. a way to make himself come to terms with something.

(here he realises that he forgot that he kissed Mafuyu BAHA)

2. as a self-soothing technique whenever he's feeling vulnerable.

(This is where Akihiko asks him whether something happened between him and Mafuyu and he turns beetroot red BAHAHAHA)

AND GUESS WHAT?! THIS IS SO FREAKING CUTE LOL

He does the same to Mafuyu!

1. when he wants Mafuyu to come to terms with something.

(This is the scene where Ue's trying to get Mafuyu to write lyrics)

2. When he uses his own self-soothing technique to sooth and comfort Mafuyu when Mafuyu is in a vulnerable state.

(This is the scene where Mafuyu is sick and Ue asks Mafuyu if the song he sang last night was about heartbreak)

Which makes this scene below just THAT MUCH MORE TENDER 😭❤️🙏

Ue is trying to comfort Mafuyu while trying to say just how proud and how much he loves Mafuyu

🥺THIS SHIT IS TOO CUTE MY HEART IS ABOUT TO BURST🥺

Shiguang ( 时光) means time. Cheng Xiaoshi has the Shi ( 时) character, and that character alone can also mean time. Guang ( 光 ) alone, however, would mean light… 

It’s so indicative of them. Cheng Xiaoshi is one who frequently loses himself when going back in time, hence he gets the Shi character. And Lu Guang? Well, we all know he’s the light in Cheng Xiaoshi’s life.

THOU is the subject (Thou art…) THEE is the object (I look at thee) THY is for words beginning in a consonant (Thy dog) THINE is for words beginning in a vowel (Thine eyes)

Further to the PSA:

Thou/thee/thine is SINGULAR ONLY.

Verbs with “thou” end in -st or -est: thou canst, thou hast, thou dost, thou goest.  Exception: the verbs will, shall, are, and were, which add only -t: thou wilt, thou shalt, thou art, thou wert.

Only in the indicative, though – when saying how things are (“Thou hast a big nose”).  Not in the subjunctive, saying how things might be (“If thou go there…”) nor in the imperative, making instructions or requests (“Go thou there”).

The -eth or -th ending on verbs is EXACTLY EQUIVALENT TO THE -(e)s ENDING IN MODERN ENGLISH.

I go, thou goest, she goeth, we go, ye go, they go.

If you wouldn’t say “goes” in modern English, don’t say “goeth” in Shakespearean English.

“Goeth and getteth me a coffee” NO.  KILL IT WITH FIRE.

Usually with an imperative you put the pronoun immediately after the verb, at least once in the sentence (“Go thou” / “Go ye”).

YE is the subject (Ye are…).  YOU is the object.

Ye/you/your is both for PLURALS and for DEFERENCE, as vous in French.

This was written in Modern English.

This was writ in Elizabethan English.

Þis was ywritten in Middelenglisch.

Woo!

W-woo…
