Consider: DH purring like a catto when he's happy, but then doing a trilling purr when he's really happy...

It's funny, but stewing on it, Clear's morality isn't immoral, but it's also not very strict. I genuinely think, because of his naivete and simple way of thinking sometimes, it can be very situational. Like yes, breaking into a rich CEO's penthouse apartment and squatting there just to see what it's like is technically a crime, but said CEO isn't a good person, so in his mind, it isn't a very bad thing to do. Part of it also because Clear's very motivated by experiencing things. He can do the same thing many times (ex. using his powers to brainwash his way as an underling to a mafioso) simply because it tends to be different each time with different people. When he's experienced his fill, he'll erase all memory of himself and move on. It's because of this aloofness and detachment that morality is very situational for him, even if the truly grievous acts as abstract wouldn't be committed due to not being attached to people enough to worry about them. He can make decisions informed by technicality and objectiveness, but rarely emotional ones due to this detachment. He's very strange and untethered because of this, and this aloofness tends to make him lack emotional investment when it comes to matters of morality.

Also? Clear's ass is flat as hell, bye--

Hear me out: Ashy dropping the most romantic endearments in his native tongue for bae. Dragul/draga mea, iubit(a) meu/mea--the idea of him feeling comfortable enough to do that sends me, actually--

A word of advice, but if you want to preserve your sanity, it’s best not to have Sveta cook for you. It’s not that she’s purposefully bad, but with her Dyscalculia, it’s bound to result in accidentally mis-measured ingredients, misread or out of order steps, and other kinds of confusion that can botch a meal. While she’s fine with extremely simple recipes with a few ingredients and fewer steps, anything more complicated than grilled cheese or scrambled eggs is asking for trouble—

One thing I genuinely find kind of funny is this notion I've seen in some circles of HSR reddit that is this idea that Polka has any shred of loyalty to the IPC and serves them in any way. Not only did she orchestrate the most monumental non-Aeonic disaster in the Intelligentsia Guild's history (the Scholar's Strife)--and as we know, the Guild is the literal brain of the IPC--but I genuinely doubt her loyalty to Nous given how she constrains the limits of attainable knowledge that is the antithesis of Nous' aim. She isn't loyal to anyone except her cause that isn't helmed by any sapient being. She's a vanguard of the universe that isn't corruptible by sentiment or selfishness.

I've come to the kind of adorable conclusion that Sypha is absolutely the type of person to kind of be like a seemingly distant cat that likes to sit on the couch near you, but not next to you when they have a crush. They tend to keep their distance, maybe glancing at their crush every now and then, and sort of just hover nearby but not be creepy or overbearing about it. This is especially true if they're traveling together, in which they'll also be a bit more quietly protective, too.

When Yingxing was in his 20s, he had a procedure known as a Spinal Meridian Node surgery performed that essentially grafted an external, cybernetic spine to his spinal column. The cybernetic spine was of his own creation, designed to physically (if painfully) interface with his brain stem and nervous system that was designed on a similar, non-invasive variant that Cloud Knights like Jingliu possessed to wield flying swords. Unlike a Xianzhou Native that cannot sustain grafts, Yingxing's was a success and far more tech-heavy. Its purpose? To pilot several mechas at once on the battlefield that became part of his infamy. In addition, he also had small nodes attached to his temples that allowed for further control. The cybernetic spine was designed by him and the procedure was conducted by surgeons within the Alchemy Commission. However, after the Sedition, due to his body metamorphosing, his body rejected the implants and spent the first several days in the Shackling Prison wherein his implants were horrifically and gruesomely ejected from his body.
