latest manhua chapter perfectly explains why i get mildly annoyed when someone refers to cheng xiaoshi and lu guang (as individuals) as time agents.
i know its bcs of translation, but time agents sounds so official and like, no? these 2 dudes arent agents. agents are cool black suits or combat gear with big agencies behind them. MIB type of stuff.
these 2 dudes are fresh graduates running a side hustle for some extra money. they aint agents. theyre the furthest thing from agents. get it straight.

When my nephew was four, a friend of the family passed away. The man was in his 90s and died of natural causes, and we were going to the funeral. We sat my nephew down and explained who this was, and that he had passed away, and now we were going to a sort of quiet party to celebrate him, and that there he might see the gentleman in the casket, and he might be very still, because he had died, but that everything was alright.
My nephew contemplated this calmly for a few minutes, and then said, "I think he will be very flat."
What.
It turns out that at age four, my nephew's only real context for death was roadkill, which he frequently pointed out while we were driving. He therefore believed that the only way anyone died was getting run over by a car.

Alfred: I am afraid I have some bad news. Earlier today, I received a notice that the arranged marriage between Master Bruce and Lady Madeline had not been voided like Master Thomas had once hoped.
Bruce: Wait I was in a arriage marriage?
Alfred ignored Bruce: There was an error in the process, and his engagement was passed to the next generation. Now that Mrs.Fenton's children are of age, one must wed into the Waynes, or the Waynes' assets are turned over to the Fentons.
Bruce: WHAT?!
Alfred: I understand that none of you would commit so I took the liberity of rolling a muilti-faced dice. Congratulations Master Jason, your fience, Mister Fetnon will arrive tomarrow.
Jason :HUH!? BUT I'M LEGALLY DEAD!
Alfred: Yes, which is why Mister Fenton accepted, believing he wouldn't have to commit. What a surprise this will be for him.
Tim: Thanks for taking one for the team, Jay.
Dick: Yeah, the rest of us nepo-babbies appreciate it.
Damian: We shall forever remember this bravery and sacrifice.

i think sometimes 'jane austen girly' jason todd would try and screw with damian after getting particularly agitated by his never-ending formality, and just start matching it in every conversation.
he turns into a walking shakespeare play until damian himself gets annoyed at the way he's being spoken to and tones it down.

the fanon that dick was awful to his successors — being abusive to jason or mean to tim — is very funny to me because he categorically handled being replaced better than either of them did
