nother dispatch is i forgot just HOW much gaeric is not a fan of you or your plans when you first meet. like he goes along with it bc irida asked him so niceys but he's very >:( the whole time. he doesn't like the idea of quelling avalugg when it hasn't actually done anything dangerous yet, and later irida also explains that he doesn't like the whole idea of the pearl clan engaging more with the other hisui factions, apparently having been reserved abt it "more than any of us [the pearl clan]." so that's like. another one who essentially shares calaba's position and might even be further along that line than she is. and then the actual non warden clan members doesn't seem to actually care? that much? abt frenzy quelling, or getting involved with the diamond clan and galaxy team, or any of that. they're too busy gossiping abt their leader with every stranger who wanders into their homes

something weird about going into the notes of some random casual douyin or otherwise chinese media post and seeing people's tags like "wow [thing] really is universal" or "i love how humans are the same everywhere" . like
i guess it's weird for me to remember that for many people china (tho this applies like. anywhere) is just some foreign, mysterious place that they don't think about often other than for Cultural Enrichment or to specifically compare it with their own culture or whatever (and i mean some people think of china for Other, Worse things but we don't have time to unpack all of that). when i think of china my brain just goes oh hey that's a part of me!! and i mean only half chinese and born in the us i don't even think of myself as very culturally chinese that often so i wonder how much different it would be if i actually lived there.
yet i guess all my apparent whitewashing just makes it even more jarring to think about just how much difference in thought process there has to be for That to be your immediate response. like i don't even know if it's really a bad thing or if it even bothers me at all outside of the initial confusion cause like obviously it's not meant rudely or anything
but tbh it kinda makes me wanna go no shit dude. what did you expect. "humans are the same everywhere" that's because "everywhere" is always right next door. i know the comment is born from like a wondrous "look how similar humans are across space and time" sentiment but it feels kind of alienating to look at someone as "ahh a man from a Foreign Land yet still a Human Being all the same" instead of just . some guy my sister's age with my old haircut and my mom's accent doing a bit for laughs
like it's just a funny video it doesn't need to be that deep
