Lan Xichen occasionally babysits A-Yuan and bullshits him with a very kind, straight face. Like Calvin's dad.
:Hey bofu, where do clouds come from?
: They are made in the bao steamer in our kitchen 😊.
: No wayyyy 😲.
: Hey bofu, where does the sun go in the evening?
: It goes to take a bath in the Yunmeng lotus ponds, then falls asleep on the lotus leaves.
: But then how does it come back here in cloud recess to rise in the morning?
: Overnight express delivery 😇.
: Bofu, is it true babies are dropped off by storks at their parents' doorstep?
: Well, many are. You, however, were dropped off by a rabbit 🙂.
: Was it because I was extra special?
: Yes. And you couldn't be sent by a stork anyway. You still get airsick on a sword, remember?

It's late at night and I'm really tired and consumed with thoughts of Solomon being such a...lonely existence. Alienated from humanity whom he continues to protect despite the way they treated him. Clinging to said humanity despite being told by almost everyone that he doesn't act "human-like" at all. Lacking social awareness because of his limited interactions with others.
Being forced to learn things on his own to survive, practically raising himself and filling in the gaps of his whole being by mimicking what he sees in others to feel even a semblance of what he thinks a person is and should be. Like a patched-up blanket with scraps of fabric he'd taken from different mosaics of people he made connections with over his long life. He's a reflection of humanity and what being a human is despite barely feeling like he was human in the first place.
An unwilling observer, wanting a place to belong in the very domain he protects. By that I mean he doesn't merely want to watch over others, but form connections with them. But because his experiences are hard to relate to, he's easily misunderstood. He's doomed to a life of people just barely tolerating him for being who he is. For being born the way he is.
I guess that's why I get even sadder when I see him smile. Had he learned to smile to be more approachable to others? To be more friendly? Did he become so accommodating and eager to please because of that? Why does it feel like he always seems like he's on the verge of giving up or had already given up even before he expressed his willingness to be closer to MC? His learned helplessness really hurts. He only fights back and shows anger and intense emotions when it's for the sake of others. He's incredibly attentive and thoughtful when it comes to others but could barely even prioritise himself.

i love how fraught and complicated discourse around various utena characters ‘dying’ is when anthy is literally stabbed to death eternally by a million swords imbued with human hatred. and then utena gets stabbed to death by them also. like. ‘death’ is incredibly interesting in rgu because most of the time it’s this ambiguous figurative thing that has interesting implications re: ohtori as a closed-off world one can escape. we are all trapped in our coffins. mamiya is the only named character with a grave. nemuro memorial hall functions as one all the same. ruka is implied to have died in the hospital— was he dead all along? who was the boy we saw for these two episodes? is this dead boy the same boy, or is this just another coincidence from the shadow girls, cutting like a knife? it’s heavily implied that akio and anthy murder kanae by poisoning her, adding to the previous implication that they were poisoning mr ohtori too, but there are no perceptible consequences of this. kanae’s absence is not felt. she’s fed an apple slice. what happens to the bodies? we know what happened to the 100 boys, but what about everyone else? and so on and so forth. ‘death’ is a tricky thing in utena, i think it’s constantly functioning on figurative and literal levels in very different ways for very different purposes. dios died. dios was dying. dios didn’t die. he grew up. etc etc
#what am i trying to say here?#idk! think about all of the pieces you have#dying is complicated in ohtori in countless different ways#and i find it boring to see so much ‘this character is dead and that’s it’ stuff#when death is used farrrrrrr more figuratively than some ppl give credit for#and i think the movie too does wonderful things with death#and what ‘dying’ really means#being disbelieved. being forgotten. being rejected. haunting despite this#much more interesting to think about wrt commentary on abusive relationships than it is#to think about what?? oh me when my brother died but plot twist he’s alive and can walk on this road all cool. like?????#akio doesn’t have the power to make himself revenant#he THINKS he does and he absolutely has power when he’s alive and he imbues that power with such meaning that it does live on after him#but ANTHY. anthy is the one struggling with herself and her feelings and the impact of trauma and abuse (that power!!) in aou#he’s dead? he died? she brought him back through her memories? or she’s left him (metaphorical death) and he’s haunting her??#all such interesting interpretations#i haven’t mentioned touga bc i don’t have the energy today. if dead and just illusion of others memories then why active. why awful#like in aou akio is only Obviously scummy when he’s alive. his illusory self is based upon anthy’s love for him#if anime!touga is nothing more than nanami/whoever’s memories of him before he died……. why does he actively choose to suck again and again#like nanami wouldn’t do that. unless it was meant to be a subconscious thing like ooo he’s dead all along but that’s not what her arc is#it’s not ‘he’s been dead all along’ literally or figuratively. it’s ‘he’s unsafe and i don’t want him’#sigh. once again i am asking people to think about nanami and touga’s dynamic through touga’s eyes#it’s so interesting to me how people forget to consider his motivations or feelings on ANYTHING#like sure his motivations and feelings are scummy but they’re interesting!!!!! they intrigue me!!!!#compel me even#anyway ignore how i said i didn’t have the energy for this and then typed it all out anyway#dais.txt

Haha what if the Prism was partially sentient except it was also evil and with Nine using it so much it not only sapped his energy but there was also something else. Something that was telling him that all he needs is more power and no one will hurt him again, hushing him and promising to protect him if he just does as it says, using his vulnerability to then crush him as something new takes shape
Something that was neither Tails nor Nine and something that only Sonic could destroy but couldn't bring himself to

I can't sleep so I'm just laying here in the dark thinking about how at least 3 different sets of "older brother raised younger brother and so the older one is both brother and parental guardian" sets of fictional characters have given be brainrot at different periods in my life.

"Liam IS Oasis" Noel Gallagher 2000
youtube
This is an intriguing interview, despite the interviewer being a bit pushy and overly critical. Noel starts off rather sombre and in low spirits, but surprise, surprise perks up when the topic comes round to Liam.
It's worth watching the whole video. Reading the transcript, Noel might come off as somewhat flippant but his tone is gentle throughout. You will want to hear him call Liam 'William'. Softly. Twice. And watch him smile afterwards.
17:40
Int: Did Liam make you stay with the band?
Noel: Only in the sense that he would never let me leave the band anyway because he would make me rejoin the band because he knows its easier for me to be in the band than have him on the phone at me twenty-four hours a day going, “Come on, let’s go back in the studio, write some songs, come on, let’s go on tour.” He just nags at you all the time. Even during that year off, after about six weeks he was on the phone saying, “Right, what’s going on,” and I’m saying, “Nothings going on,” "Well have you written any songs,” “No I don’t intend to write any songs for another 8 or 9 months.” He’s just like a hyper active little kid isn’t he. But he would annoy me back into the band if I ever left - just to shut him up.
When asked if he thought having Lennon had changed Liam:
Noel: [...]I’ve noticed a little tiny change but nothing major really…because he would love you, or the people at home out there in TV land to believe he’s the rock and roll monster. And he lives up to that. When he turns the key - or when he turns the handle to leave the house and go out into the public domain - he then becomes Liam Gallagher. When he’s at home I know for a fact he’s just…William. He’s just William.
Int: Is Liam still mad fer it
Noel: Oh yeah totally. If I have any length of time off I’ve got other things I could be doing. I could be remixing for people, I could be writing. All that Liam does is sing in the band. And when I say all I don’t mean to demean him in any way whatsoever but he’s not a writer. I can go out - I went on tour with Paul Weller for a few months, just like opening up for him and stuff and I can go play guitar on other people’s records - Liam doesn’t have that so all he’s got is to be in the band. That’s what justifies his existence. If I take six months off, to him, that’s a six month prison sentence. He’s got to stay in for six months.
Int: […] It’s not that bad is it, like he’s nothing without the band?
Noel: No I’m not saying that. I'm not saying he's nothing. He’s still a geezer and all that but what I’m saying is like I’ve got other things to do. Liam doesn’t like anybody else to go sing on anyone else’s album - he hates everyone. He even hates me. He’s not into producing or anything so… he is Oasis, do you know what I mean? So if I say I’m going off for a year, what’s he gonna do? He’ll just go down the pub for a year.
