no, but if you think about it, that line “a man who knows what he wants and he takes it” is insane.

does Ruben really think that? does he think Niall wanted Mona? or that he wanted to take away Ruben’s chance to be a dad? it’s still kinda twisted. he knows Niall is gay, and he knows that he doesn’t care about any of his kids at all. and he knows, to some extent, that Niall is just obsessed with Ruben in some way. or maybe it’s about Niall taking something away from Ruben himself. like, the last bits of his manhood, at least as Ruben sees it. i know that’s a possibility. but is Ruben that self-aware, to come this this conclusion?

it just doesn’t sit right with me. especially because he uses that phrase so insistently, more than once. he’s not stupid. he could’ve phrased it any other way. but it’s almost underlined. and the phrase “before you took what’s mine” is clearly not about his manhood. it’s about Mona and his child. but come on. he has to know Niall doesn’t give a fuck about any of that. and that it was always about Ruben. or am i giving him too much credit? i don’t know. this tiny part of the narrative between the prison scene and the barn scene, before the wedding, just won’t leave me alone. did Niall try at all to redeem himself? there are so many questions i don’t have answers to.

#i don’t think ruben gave niall a chance to explain himself after the confession - he cut him off cold turkey#even if it hurt him too i imagine he just could not even look at niall after that without trying to break the glass divider#the thing is niall knows what he wants - ruben- and he never does take it#because taking ruben has never been a ‘possibility’ in his mind#he can break up his marriage and gift him a kid but niall can’t TAKE him he can’t tell ruben he loves him Like That#not until he’s cornered in a barn and niall has nothing left to lose or hide or anything so he gives it up tells ruben the terrible truth#i feel like those lines are almost goading???#ruben has known niall has wanted him since - who knows maybe from the very start could see it in his eyes#because they’re his eyes too they’re reflections and the same and what’s in niall’s eyes are in ruben’s too#and ruben sees that niall isolated him - he took his wife he took his fatherhood he took his freedom#(but those are all things ruben did himself but they’re the same you know they share everything#what niall does is what ruben does is what niall does is what ruben does)#and niall is married and niall has two sons and ruben is - like richard gadd said he’s a ‘dying bull’ at the wedding#niall took ruben’s life but niall doesn’t want it because it’s not with ruben#and it’s just like university where ruben is telling niall they’re meant to share everything#that niall’s meant to have what ruben can’t he’s not meant to have anything without ruben#and we see that in those two years where ruben gives niall everything without niall even knowing#and we see that post-hospital where ruben and niall are again entrenched in each others lives like they’re teens sharing a bedroom again#niall can only have what ruben gives him that’s the natural order for ruben#and niall cannot have ruben because ruben couldn’t give him himself in that way#so niall took everything else - being married having sons a life and a family#that’s niall’s meant to share with ruben#but they never had that talk and they never got to share like they wanted to#and ruben never got the chance to give niall himself#and niall never got the chance to take what he really wanted

OP: Why couldn’t traditional Chinese Yinpiao银票/silver drafts be forged if they were merely slips of paper? (cr大明宝钞，渐越)

Traditional Chinese yinpiao/silver drafts were paper vouchers issued by private banks starting from the Song Dynasty(960–1279). People could exchange these slips for physical silver at bank branches across the country.

Silver drafts were made in multiple copies with matching serrated seal edges. One copy went to the customer and others stayed at the bank. All edges had to fit perfectly together to withdraw silver. The unique split edge marks were almost impossible to copy.

This mechanism is known as qifeng骑缝 (split-joint seal) in China. It first originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046–771 BC). The Rites of Zhou records that contracts were written on bamboo or wooden slips in duplicate. Notches and marks were carved in the middle before splitting the slips, with each party keeping one half. The two halves would be matched by their notches for verification.

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods (770–221 BC), this idea evolved into hufu虎符/tiger tally tokens. A military tally was split into two pieces with identical inscriptions carved along the split edge. Troops could only be deployed if the patterns and characters on both halves perfectly aligned, serving as a metal version of the split-joint anti-counterfeiting system.

The technology matured in the Tang Dynasty (618–907). Government documents and private contracts commonly used split-joint seals stamped across the dividing line. The Chinese character "hetong合同" (contract) was written across the middle before the paper was torn apart, so the complete characters would only appear when the two halves were put together. This split-coupon system was later adopted for Song Dynasty (960–1279) jiaozi paper money and yinpiao/silver drafts of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368–1912).

Official Song dynasty paper money (Jiaozi交子) was abolished in 1107. Private silver drafts issued by Qing-era piaohao票行 (ancient exchange banks) vanished completely in 1951, hit hard by modern banks and currency reforms. Nowadays silver drafts no longer circulate as currency. Their collectible value depends on their rarity and physical condition.

Split-joint seals (骑缝章qifengzhang)are still widely used on important paper documents in modern China, an anti-tampering technique passed down from ancient times. They are applied across the edge of multi-page contracts, bidding documents and official archives. If any page is removed or replaced, the broken seal pattern can prove the file has been altered.

Yo, GMMTV needs to start doing mandatory social media screens when hiring or run educational courses, because after seeing what Justin Moir has been reposting when he is still a child is terrifying. The boy is FIFTEEN YEARS OLD and apparently these are things he’s been reposting for the last few years? Like, he’s about to lose his career before it starts because people are not happy - and rightly so.

Putting someone who reposts misogynistic rhetoric, homophobia, transphobia in a BL, even as a support is just…what.

No doubt there will be a half-assed apology from GMMTV and he’ll either be let go (since it’s early days) or he’ll be kept in the background for a while (like Pawin).

Tbh I am both angry and sad about this. He’s just a child and has been brainwashed into this hateful way of thinking and I hope he made to do the work to deprogram this. But then at the same time I’m also angry that this is still a thing, a common thing, and that GMMTV have done nothing but make him delete the content.

Did he never stop to think that people would find out? Why even sign with the biggest BL company in your country if you don’t support the values? Again, I know he’s a kid but…ugh. Someone else could probably write this better. I’m just pissed off.

[dekaydk]

Well, guess I can remove When Oranges Fall from my upcoming watch list.

As to this kid, he can go hang with Joss and GMMTV can start a sub-channel devoted to rightwinger talent.

DO NOT MAKE EXCUSES like "he's just a kid." Demand genuine contrition and growth. Joss certainly hasn't shown any and he's continuing to get lead roles. (Deleting the evidence is neither apology nor contrition.)

Hopefully he grows up and learns how to love others instead of hating.

[shaneholeander]

I fully understand this isn’t everyone, but love the sect of m/m shippers who don’t want to be inserted into the relationship at all. dont want to fuck them, don’t want x/reader. this isn’t about me it’s about my boys being in situations and then fucking about it. I’m barely a fly on the wall im not even here.

You don’t have to admit you have an open wound if you close the wound before anyone sees it, yknow? but the fucking problem is people do nothing but talk about how much they hate open wounds around you and it’s like buddy I’m trying to close the thing before you see it. and then they get out the wound salt “just in case” like okay great. now there’s wound salt in my open wound that you keep saying you hate and don’t want to see. give me some fucking breathing room to close the wound then damn……… but they already know about the wound because you’ve been trying to close it for years. they weren’t speaking in hypotheticals. they know. and yuuuup there’s more wound salt

I’m not astrology but god I love Scorpio stereotypes. I like that the zodiac has a cartoon supervillain sign.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

sorry I can’t hang out today I have to plan a graveyard orgy ritual for my mystery cult. soon my dark purposes will be fulfilled. you know how it is with sinister puppetmasters… ah ha ha ha.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

“Scorpios are just popularly misunderstood! They’re not evil, they’re not sex maniacs, they’re not secretive manipulators with vindictive—”

GUARDS! consign this idiot to my scorpion pit. he’s trying to ruin my reputation. no not the regular scorpion pit the scorpion pit in which all the scorpions have boners. what?! well give them the arachnid viagra then. jesus christ. impossible to get good help around here.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

this has happened to me too (as an adult) and I’m always like??? do you have no survival instincts??? what kind of idiot just goes around announcing their enmity towards a class of person that 1.) cannot be identified on sight 2.) comprises roughly 10% of the population and 3.) they believe to be uniquely conniving, vindictive, secretive, manipulative, and prone to petty vengeance and intense grudges???

if you genuinely believe in astrology and think that Scorpios are Evil™️, I don’t think you want to get on their bad sides if you can help it. right? right??? I don’t get it! why make unnecessary enemies with people who haven’t even wronged you yet? why make unnecessary enemies with people who haven’t even wronged you yet and also have pits of boner scorpions? and why do they before you know who they are, thus allowing them to begin secretly plotting against you?!?!

anyway I did begin secretly plotting against him but that had little to do with our respective star signs

often you will see things online where you just have to be like "what a strange thing to say" or "i don't think that's true :)" to yourself and try to move on or you will lose your mind

[galloping-windmill]

saw moots posting so let me say it again. Everyone get more platonic NOW. RIGHT NOW. QUICK.

[galloping-windmill]

It is essential we all become more platonic . Let those freaks be bestest of friends let those characters hold hands and cuddle without any romance involved stop having couples gatekeep all affection I want everything to Stop being romantic I'm killing romance with my bare hands. Let two beings stand next to eachother without rushing to say "B-BUT.. LOOK AT THE WAY THEYRE LOOKING AT EACHOTHER! THERE'S NO-" yes there is a platonic explanation for it there always is one. The explanation is that theyre friembds. :]

[aroace-official]

NOT AN EXCLUSIVELY AROACE POST !!! There is a platonic explanation for people who aren't aspec as well! I love you platonic affection!!

[pangur-and-grim]

what I've learned from having other people edit my work is that I have a sick addiction to commas

[pangur-and-grim]

there have been four editing passes on my spider sex book, and each time they take away so many commas. no fresh commas are being added, this is just a continued culling. if you see a comma in the final book please understand that it survived so much
