@asya @celli@octodon.social jealous of y’alls napping on public transport ability

@Betty @villainousfriend tfw you wanna wear ruffles but ruffles are too Girly so you must wear the overlapping rectangular flaps of shame instead

@villainousfriend also, i can’t believe none of the graverobbing shows/movies have been like “we’re following in the illustrious footsteps of Cao Cao”

@bright_helpings I assumed we just took “Bruxelles” and then bodged it to be more pronounceable in English. but now I’m curious! *goes to see if wiktionary has an etymology*

@villainousfriend @Forestofglory inns arent supposed to work like this! he thought he was safe!!!

@villainousfriend @Forestofglory I also feel like we’re due for a slight trope inversion—imagine WWX traveling with LWJ and babbling awkwardly when he realizes Lan money means they’re NOT going to be sleeping with six other strangers who can safely diffuse the sexual tension

@villainousfriend @lirazel @Forestofglory Song Lan probably has a lot of practice navigating those kinds of situations! But yeah probably the meaner characters to pick on with historical accuracy 😂

@villainousfriend @Forestofglory ha! i do think its reasonable for characters to have feelings about it, even when its something normalized by the culture they’re in—they’ll just be more hmm like how you might write someone overthinking getting to sit next to their crush you know? “I’m getting a lot more out of this proximity than is socially expected and I’m not sure the other person realizes, or if I even WANT them to realize” rather than “ohhh no beds, the most intrinsically horny place that I cannot help but think about fucking in”
