Deeppurpleforest - Lilith

Photo of the spines of the 1990 set of "Journey to the West" books translated by W. F. Jenner. The confession text box reads: "Jttw is a deeply culturally important text, and i get that it's very Personally important to some people which is why adaptations (mostly lmk as of late bc of its comparably huge fandom) can frustrate people when it's not very faithfully adapted- but like. it's also a silly fucking book it doesn't take itself NEAR as seriously as some people take it. It's also a compilation of various folk stories gathered and skewed into the SPECIFIC PURPOSE of advocating for buddhism because- surprise surprise- books are written by humans with their own baises and political leanings and agendas, so to act like it's some super serious borderline sacred peice and not what amounts to a deeply influential story not unlike what the Mahaburata or the Illiad were to their respective cultures, which were gathered versions of folk stories but written down by HUMANS that existed with their own agendas and ideas of what messages these stories should have is inherently a losing battle. Wu Cheng'en was a human man writing about Enlightenment and why Buddhism rocks he did not exist without bias, and the sooner everyone comes to accept that the happier they'll be" jttwconfessions #232

I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.

Why have so many British comedians already passed away??? Like I can be looking at a clip from a few years ago and they looked healthy and not old at all, and then the next thing is seeing rip in the comments

为什么三国的cp那么多样化那么繁荣 甚至直男网文作者都带点认真地写过 但水浒就没有到如此程度呢?是太过masculine了吗?所以反而是男同作者会写那种同志风同人?

当然啦 只要发作起来就不可能只是外貌羞耻 而是对于整个人的存在价值和意义都完全否定 (之后还会装无辜说你怎么可能不自信 呵呵 我小学初中的经历记得清清楚楚 现在才慢慢学会听了也不往心里去)

本来是在遗憾错过了一部动画电影,想看看其他影院有没有排片,结果一打开常去的影院的网页,排在最前的一部赫然写着Revolution of Our Times,昨天和今天有放映,有“youtuber袁”的q&a,不过挂着红彤彤的sold out,上次在这家影院见到售罄还是Paprika门口贴着的告示。生怕错过了唯一的放映,赶紧去搜索了一下,幸好还是有挺多家影院在放映的,看到的包括PCC、Odeon、Genesis、Curzon、Everyman。我终于看了预告片,一个是只有英文字幕的,一个是中英文台版字幕,看的时候我都在哭。(gphone真算是很优秀的雪韵岭秀了吧)

Ok let me check in on them. Oh they are crying over the stock market.

One thing I found really interesting: I still hold the assumption that North Koreans are probably brainwashed and can be actually good people. But I can’t think the same about people in my country. Maybe it’s because I was bullied by them. My friends were bullied and threatened by them. And the saddest thing is people closest to me could be one of them.

I loved him at first sight. I have learned to love him more. I will love him until I die. I wish in next life I could still be in the same world which has his soul.
