Paperchase和tfl联名出的东西也太可爱了吧

昨晚做梦，我竟然成了一个patriot，不过爱的是福尔摩沙......

可能是因为看到眼球新一期的标题但没点进去看

好像另一个梦是发现其实他还一直在写专栏

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.

战争开始前网上有俄罗斯人讨拍，英文评论一片拥抱，那时我说我不清楚俄罗斯人，但我能确信的是“人民都反战”至少不适用于我的故土。当时我心里想到的还是小岛，从没预料到开战后真的立刻示范给我看。

想起了《旁观他人之痛》，竟然已是2020 的歌。我那时听完崩溃，不敢点收藏，或许是潜意识想忘掉这首歌吧。我的愧疚感和被原谅都是凿壁偷光。现在听还是崩溃。19之后我偷偷地渐渐地光明正大地顺理成章地把我的无力和惭愧踢到一边埋了起来。今天看了半部Olga，却总是想起香港，为什么啊为什么啊为什么香港看不到任何希望。片尾有2020年美丽的基辅。

还是要夸一夸作词人欲龙，喜欢研究林夕，也真有林夕之风（这首不是最明显）。

眼球用简体字看着好怪 是字体的问题吗

林青霞演白素贞怎么看起来还是像贾宝玉😂

其实这边虽然比较少比较慢但也有在改，比如阿尔茨海默病，但有好些人就喜欢把抱残守缺当作文化自信

《点解》曲子原唱原来是PSB……

到底有没有一家ktv歌单里面有《心甘命抵》，我已经从6月忍到现在了

忍不住想说这就是中国影响力

I keep seeing fic with words censored in the body of the fic like so: c*nt, f*gg*t, q-slur (seriously, come on), r*pe, *nc*st. I even saw a fic where someone was described as “sitting next to his unalived body” which was so absurd it made me laugh.

I’ve seen this trend in tags as well, which would be ACTIVELY FUCKING DANGEROUS if AO3 tag wranglers weren’t literal, actual angels who make sure that “rape” and “r*pe” (and all such transpositions) are treated like the same tag.

AO3 isn’t TikTok. Tag accurately and completely for your fic themes so people can search AND filter. Use the correct words in your fic content so people who use blacklist extensions can actually benefit from the tools that protect them.

If you don’t feel comfortable using a word without censoring it, then don’t use that word at all. Maybe consider why you’re even writing something that contains that theme.

Sincerely,

An actual real life rape and incest survivor who has actual fucking PTSD and really doesn’t want to have to stop reading fic for my ship because people think a god damn asterisk is going to somehow save people like me from being triggered.
