IT SURE WAS and i still need 3-5 business days to process it

ahhh right! i am in a specifically mo du/jitd one where two of the members have access to weibo etc. and we are being disgracefully well-fed, so…if you need a hookup lmk?

taught pan's labyrinth today and, DESPITE extensive content warnings, the undergrads were still all big-eyed: "…i thought this was a kid's movie!" me [hollow laughter]: okay let me explain you a thing about del toro

MUCH TO CONSIDER (i didn't remember that, about the flashbacks! but he definitely has it in the final boss battle?)

"gosh, remember when we could just commit heinous crimes with no repercussions…if only things could be like that again…"

…pls buckle in for a WILD RIDE MY FRIEND

no i can see it (would say more but spoilery)

i am BEGGING you to watch him starting at 2:10, i even queued it up for you (ruan nanzhu's idol career really takes off here) youtu.be/mjHsz1SBisg?...

see and for me it's truffle butter skfhfdfj

i bring you: zhiguang flying www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bDM...

sdksfjhd it's only the douyin hand dances, this man is a BEAST onstage

more blue ones maybe?

this is my roman empire

definitely a drag, and but also: plus side: you already know the difficult parts and most of the material! sometimes we all have to take another pass at something fr

(你懂的)

(ALSO hei xiazi has that sword by the end of sha hai, so i've always assumed there must be a missing scene there…?)

我的天哪 @sunriseverse.bsky.social and i were JUST talking about this. (me: does xiaoge spend the night at xin yue when he has official zhang things to do? or is zrs storing his clothes bc wu xie doesn't want them hanging around wushanju?)

as someone who also returned after a gap and now teaches, i can only say that the first semester back is simply…kinda rough. you're having to relearn expectations, study habits, how to do tasks, everything at once—give yourself a little grace if you can, because spring semester will be MUCH easier!
