i don’t know why but i’m really amused by the winner of some ‘new kanji’ contest:

compare with the real kanji

座 (seat/gathering), but the two 人 (person) radicals have been moved from next to each other within the 土 (earth) radical to diagonally from each other, making this “social distance(d seating/gathering)”

This is hilarious, but to further the hilarity, I’d like to point to the fact that half of the “A rank” (runners up) for this contest also are related to 2020 epidemic jokes

First up we have:

Compare with 太

The original kanji means “to gain weight”. But it adds the コ “ko” and ロ “ro” katakana symbols at the top to represent the weight you gain while staying home due to the corona virus.

Then we have:

Compare with 会

The original kanjij means “meeting”, but the lower radical is changed to look more like a “Z” to represent Zoom meetings. Thus, the new kanji means “web meetings” or “zoom calls”

And of course another social distancing one:

Compare with 話

This means “to talk” or “chat”, but it’s changed simply to show the two radicals social distancing from one another as we should also while holding conversations nowadays.

At least we can have some fun language humor despite all of this!

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

Yin Yu: I'm having problems with a guy...

Hua Cheng: Like his dead body won't fit into your trunk kind of problems, or you like him kind of problems?

Yin Yu: I like him kind of problems.

He Xuan: Welp, you’re on your own. We could’ve helped with the first one.

Yin Yu: Why did I come to you guys for advice?

Quan Yizhen is the epitome of head empty, no thoughts. Hualian kissing? Yeah, that was definitely the necessary way to transfer spiritual powers. See, the divine statue became stronger! Buried in a wall? OMG SHIXIONG! Told to turn into a martial god sword? Sure, don’t know what’s going on but might as well. Jun Wu assigns the western domain to the martial god of the west? No idea why.
