"it's so easy with chatGPT" maybe you should try to do things that are hard so you will also feel good about doing a hard thing on your own. Maybe you should spend 4 hours on writing a letter and 20 minutes on scrolling your phone and not the other way around

— please, have mercy! chapter 6

“Why not just run away with him? Escape your fates together,” The calm voice asked. Kaveh could see it. Him and Alhaitham, living their remaining days away in a foreign country. They’d probably bring Dehya along, she was the veteran traveler after all. They would eat foods with names that they struggled to pronounce, see sights unseen in their modern world, probably meet people that would never scheme against their lives.

They would escape their fates but Kaveh knows that as long as he stays by Alhaitham side, he would only tempt said fate back to claim Alhaitham’s life.

— please, have mercy! chapter 5

"My beloved consort,” Alhaitham says, resting his chin against the back of his hand, “You can stare as much as you want.” The other's soft, teasing tone tickled Kaveh's ears. He stood up, rubbing both of his ears, “I'll go and wash up for bed.” “Want me to join? You'll probably see more if I did.” continue reading...

— please, have mercy! chapter 4

The Prince's words were elusive in Kaveh's ears. The only thing he could hear is Alhaitham's footsteps nearing him. Kaveh guessed it would be out of his character to meet Alhaitham halfway, especially after he had acted that he was in love with the prince. But before he knew it, Kaveh was running towards Alhaitham.

— please, have mercy! chapter 3

The Empress Dowager sneered, her hackles raised at this display of questioning her authority. She waved her hand to the guards, “What are you waiting for?!” The guards pushed forward. Kaveh hears Alhaitham’s breath hitch, like all the air was punched out of him. He then looked at Alhaitham, reaching out a hand to reassure him, but was interrupted when the latter suddenly stood up. “Mother!” Alhaitham's voice echoed. His action and word seemed to have struck the guards, causing them to back away from Kaveh.

— please, have mercy! chapter 2

Alhaitham took the hint and walked towards Kaveh. He leaned in and cradled Kaveh's cheek, “My love, you won't betray me like that, right?” Kaveh sighs coquettishly, “Your Majesty, the entirety of Celestia knows that my heart is reserved for you only. If you don't trust me, they can stand as my witnesses!”  Alhaitham laughs deeply, “How can I not trust you? All those I don't trust, are all buried.”  continue reading...

— please, have mercy! chapter 1

Kaveh gulps before replying, “How… are… you…?” He spoke the words in the Teyvatian language. In this era of Sumeru where Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was the one worshipped, all of the nations spoke in their own languages. It was only after Lesser Lord Kusanali became its new archon that the Teyvatian language was developed to be Teyvat’s universal language. Only those from the Modern world would understand Kaveh's words. The Emperor suddenly sits up and turns his upper body towards Kaveh. Kaveh gulps, an incessant buzzing remains in his head. The Emperor let out a small laugh but it was more like a relieved sigh. “I'm fine,” he answered in Teyvatian, “And you?” or; Kaveh transmigrated in a book about transmigration, and through Lesser Lord Kusanali's mercy, he found himself with a companion in tow.

I have so many thoughts rn about Ao Bing and Nezha. Specifically, the fact that, by virtue of choosing to love and care for the other, Nezha and Ao Bing have already saved each other from their own worst fates.

Specifically in context of the 1979 version of them, which gave me brain worms from this tweet. First of all, absolutely KILLER fanart. I'm aware people have likely already made these connections and they aren't new, but I just have to ramble.

Trigger warning: mentions of suicide (1979 Nezha) + gore (1979 Ao Bing):

I know Nezha 2019/2025 had already started off with different premises, specifically being that neither Ao Guang nor Li Jing are pieces of shit. So, we don't really have the plot of Nezha being forced to commit suicide, nor of Ao Bing not giving a shit about human life and having his tendons pulled out as retribution by Nezha. But, we do know the general lines of how Nezha's story usually plays out. Nezha dies and is reborn as a lotus. Ao Bing dies, as punishment for the atrocities he's committed. That doesn't really change all that much, from how I understand it. And it didn't necessarily change in Nezha 2019 either. Nezha and Ao Bing both still die.

The difference is that they saved each other from it being tragic.

Ao Bing does try to do something awful. His motivation for attempting to bury Chentang pass was somewhat understandable, because he was given an impossible choice between the village or the destruction of his species. But he still does it. And Nezha stops him. But even though Ao Bing tried to kill everyone, Nezha chose not to strike the final blow because he cares about Ao Bing. Keep in mind, at this point while they do know they are each half of the chaos pearl, they didn't have their memories until the lightning strike, so they hadn't known each other that long. But Ao Bing was still the first person outside of Nezha's family (or in the case of taiyi, someone assigned to him by heaven), to actually offer him friendship and understanding and comfort. Ao Bing gave him hope. Their fates as adversaries changed in the moment Nezha chose not to go through with the strike, which is why I adore the shot of Nezha stopping his attack to point his spear at Ao Bing's dragon form. It's like a message is being sent - this is where it could've ended. This is where they could've fallen back into the lines fate had carved for them to follow. But they didn't. It makes Nezha yelling about fighting fate until the end in their ensuing conversation even more significant.

And because Nezha chose not to hurt Ao Bing when he could've, when he would've arguably had a right to, Ao Bing chose him right back. He put himself in the line of fire to save Nezha from the heavenly retribution, because Nezha in turn, gave him hope too. A human that never showed him any sort of prejudice for being a dragon, that cared about him enough to spare his life, that showed him exactly how it's possible to defy fate, both in regaining control of his demonic powers and, unknown to Ao Bing, saving Ao Bing in this iteration of their story. And in doing so, Ao Bing also saves Nezha from a tragic fate of dying alone as a sacrifice for the good of others. As Shen Gongbao pointed out very clearly, Ao Bing's mission could've been accomplished if he had simply let Nezha die. Nezha's been told for the entirety of the movie by everyone outside of his family that the world would be better off with him dead. But instead Ao Bing had decided in that moment that Nezha was worth more to him than what the world had assigned him as - a necessary loss for the good of everyone else.

And then both Ao Bing and Nezha were reborn as lotuses in the second movie by Taiyi. Together.

They changed fate, merely by choosing to love each other. They're each other's salvation. I am actually losing my mind.

Translating the last line of Ne Zha 2 (2025)

When Ao Bing asks Ne Zha how he knew he'd come back, Ne Zha says something that I think might be the perfect ending line.

因为我们都太年轻，不知天高地厚

Yin wei wo men dou tai nian qing, bu zhi tian gao di hou

I think the theatre I watched translated this as "Because we're both too young. Too young to fear."

Honestly, this translation is pretty good! It's touching and impactful.

Bu zhi tian gao di hou, 不知天高地厚, is a saying that is used to refer to someone that is arrogant or foolish and doesn't understand the power or cruelty of the world.

It means: To know not how high the heavens stretch, nor how deep the earth goes.

Usually it is used to admonish someone, usually an elder scolding someone younger that they're overly confident or idealistic, and don't know anything about the realities of what's out there.

Ne Zha and Ao Bing have both technically lived thousands of years. They were originally the Chaos Pearl, so they've witnessed a lot. They do, in fact, know how unfair the world is, and have seen the heavens and the earth.

However, since their bodies and minds are still young, it's especially impactful for Ne Zha to say this to refer to himself and Ao Bing. Essentially, he is saying that despite them both understanding the cruelty and unfairness of the world, they still choose to be young and foolish.

It's not that they're arrogant and overconfident. It's that they understand they have little chance, but they must fight anyway. They are choosing to be young and wild, choosing their three year old naïveté over their thousands of years as the Chaos Pearl.

IDK, it really got to me.
