I paid thousands of dollars only for my English professor to tell me that Emily Dickinson's "My Life - a Loaded Gun" isn't about a fucking gun.

Hi, I have an ask, if that's okay.

What is with the titles of the various gods in tgcf? Some of them seem to have titles they had as humans, like Xie Lian being "your highness the crown prince" and Pei Ming being "general". But Yin Yu and Quan Yizhen both seem to get "your highness" despite not having any title before ascending, while Feng Xin and Mu Qing get "general". Is there a rationale here that makes more sense in Chinese or is MXTX really playing a bit fast and loose with titles?

Hi! :) Xie Lian and Pei Ming did retain their titles as humans, and I think “your highness” is the title automatically conferred on someone if they ascend to be a god, so it’s more of a universal title among heaven officials and technically all of them can be called “your highness.” I think Feng Xin and Mu Qing are called “general” probably because when they were humans, they served in the Xianle royal household and should’ve had army ranks because they fought in the war; or it could be because they were Xie Lian’s deputy generals during Xie Lian’s first ascension. Whereas Yin Yu and Quan Yizhen were commoners with no military title before ascension, so they don’t get called “general” even when they’re also martial gods like Feng Xin and Mu Qing. But this is honestly my guess…

What I find interesting is that “highness” in Chinese kind of means the opposite of “highness” in English. “Highness” in English literally indicates a lofty position high above, whereas “highness” in Chinese, 殿下 (dianxia), literally means “under/beneath the palace.” 殿下 (dianxia) originally refers to the attendants of a royal family member serving under their palace. People of lower ranks who go to visit those royal family members couldn’t speak to the royals directly out of respect and deference, so they had to give their message to the attendants serving under the palace (dianxia) instead, and the attendants would inform the royal family members of the visitors’ business. So “dianxia”, which originally refers to the servants under the palace, gradually became a substitute title for the royal family members they serve (from the origin of this term you could see that ancient Chinese society was extremely hierarchical).

Feng Xin really needs to expand his vocabulary because he only knows how to curse in one way, like there’s a specific phrase he uses to curse at everything (“我操了”). And what’s funny is that Mu Qing started to use Feng Xin’s personal curse phrase whenever he’s about to lose his mind towards the end of the novel, it’s like “let me borrow your last brain cell Feng Xin because I have none left myself.”

🥺

for months i have been dying to write a devilman piece involving the four archangels and ryo but i have no idea what to do with them. i love the idea of ryo not only having michael as a sibling but gabriel, uriel, and raphael too, creating this really weird and tense family dynamic that gives ryo some wiggle room for interesting character development. like constantly getting metaphorically and literally bitchslapped by not one sibling but five (even though i don’t think raphael would actually do anything to ryo unless ordered by god; i’ve been imagining him as a big softie?)
