Everyone wants to be sasunaru so bad. But you won’t. You’ll never be them.

"My wish was about you," Feng Xin says, and when Mu Qing does not immediately respond, he fixes his statement. "My wish was for you."

I'm really surprised the Pelican stans are eating S3's plot up like weren't you guys like the ones who act like RMB is the second coming of Christ??

Suddenly it's all "Ohmygod their story just got more interesting!!"

I'm here like:

i literally don't have any skin in this game but this urban legend makes me lose brain cells so i have to say something

every time i run into the Semen Is A Mind-Altering Drug Which Turns Women Into Brainless Drones theory... dear god... y'all deadass need to stop smoking whatever it is you're puffing on.

(1) the data this theory is based on comes from a single lab

(2) according to the same source, semen exposure increased performance on concentration and cognitive tasks

(3) anyone familiar with drug delivery knows it's VERY VERY hard for most chemicals to enter the brain from the rest of the bloodstream. dopamine (neurotransmitter crucial to motor function, reward learning and pleasure), for instance, cannot easily cross the blood-brain barrier. that's why we give Parkinson's patients the dopamine precursor L-dopa instead. nor does serotonin. the neurotransmitters in semen CANNOT 'TRAIN' WOMEN BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET FROM THE VAGINA TO THE BRAIN. crack open a physiology textbook i beg you

(4) i cannot find a link to the actual study. for obvious reasons, this is concerning for the veracity of the entire thing

(5) i found this abstract only, with no link to the full text. it's from 20 years ago, and only showed that semen exposure decreased depression and suicide attempts and another study which SUGGESTS that swallowing semen MIGHT decrease the risk of pre-eclampsia

(6) these guys also published stuff on semen causing menstrual synchrony, which we now agree doesn't exist. you can't drag up stuff from twenty years ago and act like it's current science

(7) papers from this lab also claim women 'become' lesbians because they hate men/were abused by men before puberty, and men abuse pregnant women because they're afraid of being cucked. still on board? are these takes you would also proudly parade around and uncritically parrot?

(8) they wrote a paper describing an experiment where they played with a dildo in a fleshlight and explained men being more aggressive during sex if they thought their female partner was cheating as using their dick as a sEmEn dISplaCeMent dEvICe, instead of the obvious explanation (anger). i'm not kidding.
