hi! what was gong zishang's pun regarding yue gongzi? is it the bit about the matchmaking god? i watched with english subtitles so subtleties are lost in translation. Thanks in advance!

Yes! The matchmaking god thing. In Chinese mythology the god of matchmaking and love is called 月老 (Yue Lao) - with the characters that mean "Moon" (月 Yue) and "Old" (老 Lao) because he's said to be an old man who lives on the moon.

So when 月公子 (Yue-gongzi) was first introduced I think Gong Zishang first calls him "Yue-gege" (Older Brother Yue) and he says something like "It's possible that I'm much older than your older brother"

Then she says "月公子 (Yue-gongzi) looks even younger than Jin Fan... how could you be old (老 lao)? If you keep insisting that you're old, then I'll have to call you 月老 (Yue Lao)"

It's just... such a dumb pun on his name and also a fantastically stupid pickup line and it made me laugh so much.

#asks #tokumusume #i hope i explained that in a coherent way #my journey to you had a few of these dumb name puns and i loved every single one #the other notable one that made me cackle being “don't call me yu-gongzi... call me gong ziyu”#mild spoilers in the following tags #also interestingly when he said Yue as in the romantic moon #he said Yue as in “风花雪月” (Feng Hua Xue Yue) which is a saying that means romance or a love affair - literally “Wind Flower Snow Moon”#and of course as we find out later those are the families of the back hill #it's a nice foreshadowing that there's a fourth one missing bc you only ever meet 花 Hua (flower) 雪 Xue (snow) and 月 Yue (moon)#so the whole time you're kinda like wait shouldn't there be a 风 Feng (wind)? when do we meet him?#which is also sort of a pun because the “feng” 锋 in Wufeng 无锋 is a homonym for 风 so it could also be read as 无风 or “without wind”#is that why a-yun learned the feng family secret martial arts at wufeng??? idk i don't think that was ever fully explained #this drama played with language a LOT and i loved it #my journey to you

You said ji fa is your son but he's my boyfriend, are u my in-law?? 😤 (rip byk, at least you were tasty)

Oops i just realized "that's my son" is the line ji chang says in that scene, i thought you were babying ji fa 😭😭😭

No, you were right the first time, I was babyfying Ji Fa 😂 He's Ji Chang's son, but he's also my son! We can be family 😂

(I read up on Bo Yikao because I was so sad about him. Apparently in the novel, Ji Chang throws up the bits of Bo Yikao and they turn into rabbits that live with Chang'e on the moon 😭 I take that as the "better" ending that he deserved 😭)

#answering stuff #tokumusume

Most cursed animal fact of all time. Any animal. Something that makes every other cursed fact look blessed.

when a whale dies far out at sea, usually the sharks show up within a few hours. they and other scavengers then strip the calorie-dense blubber off the carcass in a showstopper bonanza until the body loses buoyancy and sinks to the bottom of the ocean, where an entire community of specialized dead whale scavengers have a bonanza of their own! this kind of event is called a “whale fall” and it forms the basis of entire deep-sea ecosystems.

but sometimes, for whatever reason, the scavengers never show up and the carcass doesn’t sink. when this happens, the whale carcass just bobs around and rots until it gets so nasty that its bones just kind of fall out of it and sink by themselves. what we’re left with at that point is just a gross smear of rancid whale goop floating around on the surface.

usually these grossnasty glop piles will just disintegrate but occasionally one will wash up on shore in a sickawful pile called a Globster. usually at this point someone will find this enormous smelly blob pile and call the media, which will declare that NO BONES, SEA MONSTERS ARE REAL! for the next however long until a real news issue comes up. people will poke the Globster with sticks and take selfies.

but really, it’s just a dead whale.

/post/650747991885561856 is from the Chinese drama The Untamed (it's on Netflix). The character is a necromancer who uses the flute to control corpses. Also, no one plays the flute correctly in Chinese dramas lol

Thank you so much for letting me know as well as thanks for letting me know where to watch it, it looks really really good!!

(Hardly any media gets flute playing right but they were the closest I've seen so that's 100% impressive)
