Nezha in the Art School AU joins the school when the Traffic Light Trio are second years. He starts out with more classical painting before moving to metalworking and he and Xiaotian know each other. Although Xiaotian knows him mostly as "that one kid my Bàba had a fist fight with once" (long story). He and Bai He are friends once they meet and go on ghost hunts together.

If you were on bojack would you want to play a version of yourself or a new character. Also was it is too play a certain of yourself on big bang or is it liberating to an extent? <3

I would want to play a new character, but honestly I’d just announce the time and weather, if that’s all they’d let me do, because I love that show so much.

So generally I'm in 100% agreement with you on your political posts but this 18% number is bothering me. Are we getting there by taking amount of voters out of the entire population? Cause if so wouldn't democrats be roughly the same (probably slightly higher due to gerrymandering but still a low number.) I'm just not a huge fan of manipulating numbers in this way. Anyway hope you're doing well!

I got that number from a person who is smarter than me, who did the math. As I understand it, because each state sends 2 people to the Senate, regardless of their population, and because Mitch McConnell has done everything in his power to destroy the rights and silence the voices of the Senate minority (and the people they represent), the current Senate majority represents about 18% of the total population. So fewer than 1 in 5 people have an outsize, anti-democratic, fundamentally unfair sway over the laws and policies that affect the entire country.

Because Mitch McConnell runs the Senate like the House, and has thrown out rules, norms, traditions, and pretty much everything that has made the Senate a slow-moving, deliberative body (going all the way back to President Obama’s presidency), he has given tremendous power and control and influence to people who live in low-population states. That needs to change. I don’t know how it changes, but I think Mitch McConnell being removed from the Senate and sent into the center of the Sun would be a good place to start.
