看到英文博主defend西游电影镜头抄袭 感觉真的很奇怪….. 这算不算一种皈依者狂热

我看此地没人敢改编翻唱《不一样又怎样》吧。这首歌因着歌手的关系影响力很大，但其实几乎同时期有一首《蓝田金婚》，侧写热望但也清冽凌厉，几乎剑指基督教保守思维禁锢（更符合香港文化背景）。另一首能够比肩的是《光天化日》。说林夕同志歌写的少的人都怎么回事？

Ok ok so I have no idea if your still interested in the titanic but I NEED to know how Harold bride handled lighttolers rumors about jacks death

HANDLED?? hahahhaaaa no he moved to Scotland and lived there quietly as i remember he didn’t handle anything and then suddenly in 1936 he dropped this banger—-

but this article is not about Jack’s death mostly it’s just about Lightoller being a moron with dementia or something..

"It was my impulse, whenever I found myself alone, to remove my coat, rip off my tie, loosen my collar and roll up my sleeves- a gesture aspiring not merely to comfort but, in a more symbolic sense, to freedom. The Duchess likes to describe this process as my 'Striptease act.'"

-Edward, Duke of Windsor in Windsor Revisited (page 152)

Tbh it seems to me tlog has both good and bad gay characters, but the lesbian and transgender characters are just lacking and flat. There is Pauline, but she also genuinely loves and marries Mickey and has a complex relationship with Ross. (I have more thoughts on her that need to be organized). So this actually reminds me how important it is to have representation in the creative industries.

Of course inside no 9 is not homophobic🙄. But I’m not so sure about transphobic, I’ve had concerns since the character Barbara in tlog.

发现一个规律，中国人好感普京，会写普京梦女/梦男文和抹布普京文，俄国人好感普京，会写普京攻，还有各种泽连斯基受的文（攻不只普京），俄国人写不写梦女/梦男文我就不知道了。（我最近这是都看了些啥啊

这三样好像都跟horror有关哦（不过tlw本身好像不是恐怖风格）

Me, staring at the "Nezha is eternally 12/Nezha is often depicted as a kid so he's just a kid and nothing else" crowd: man, have you heard of Child Manjushri a.k.a. Wenshu Tongzi

(This is totally not an excuse for me to find cool statue pictures and talk iconography)

So, here is Bodhisattva Manjushri in his standard "graceful aristocratic prince" form, riding his azure lion. The statue in the picture doesn't have it, but oftentimes, he'll also be holding a flaming sword that symbolizes wisdom's ability to cut through ignorance and delusions.

This is "Holy Old Monk Manjushri", a variant that I came across a few times while temple-touring, but couldn't find many good online pictures of. It seemed like a thing that was popular around Mt. Wutai, based on the "Buddha-palita met Old Man Manjushri" tale. Sometimes his BFF Samantabhadra is depicted as an old man too, for matching purposes.

And this is Child Manjushri, with his five hair buns, often worshipped in an esoteric context. On Mt. Wutai, there are five major temples atop five peaks, each worshipping a different form of Manjushri, and the "middle peak" temple has a Child Manjushri in their main hall. Like, it's far from the most common variant, but neither is it this super obscure form that no longer enjoys active worship.

Lastly, just for fun: this is Yamantaka, a guardian deity/Wisdom King, who, in Tibetan Buddhism, is believed to be Manjushri's wrathful form.

If you wouldn't call Manjushri "the eternal child Bodhisattva" just because he has a child form, why would you say Nezha is an eternal child when he, too, has both child and adult forms?

Even though Nezha's child form is vastly more popular and well-known than Child Manjushri, I think my point still stands: A deity is capable of having multiple manifestations, of varying ages and appearances, each fulfilling a particular function and niche——none of which is the "One True Form TM", just different clothes they wear based on occasions and audiences.

To stretch the analogy a little, Manjushri's child form is the formal dress he puts on before attending a religious event, while Nezha's child form is the lotus T-shirt he wears a lot while appearing on TV, to the point it becomes his most iconic attire.

This doesn't mean he only has a single shirt, for goodness sake, and using his child form as evidence for the "eternal child" claim is like saying Nezha's only allowed to wear that one shirt and nothing else.

Just realized the timing of signing of the Declaration probably overlapped with the AIDS crisis.
