hymnheart birds, better known as "hymns", or "travel mount" birds, are a genus of bird derivative from todays common flocking birds of sky (doves), and the less common nightbirds.
during the days of prosperity, these birds were bred to be large and capable of carrying many passengers, as skypeople flight was not a common form of travel. similarly, it wasnt uncommon to find a smaller version of these birds (usually bred by hand, and not by known breeders), meant for single person travel, that was also often used in racing. these lesser travel mounts are known to have sparked the use of mantas for racing and speedy travel, as mantas were faster and smaller, and functionally better for the same uses.
in modern day, these birds are considered to be extinct. after great technological advantages like flying boats becoming mainstream, and soon after the modernization of 'caped' flight, hymns numbers had begun to dwindle due to simply no longer needing them for their main purpose. unlike hymn travel however, manta riding remained persistent as a practice, as the species was abundant, and did not need skypeople aid to continue to breed.
few individuals, like those of the nester families, continued to breed these birds, but eventually discontinued the practice as it became laborious and took too much time.

Man I’ve said it before but for as annoying as Leo can be to Hueso, it’s still abundantly clear that Leo has inadvertently done a lot for the man? Yeah, he’s gotten him into a fair share of hijinks, but at the end of each of those was a long standing problem in Hueso’s life solved just like that.
In particular, Hueso’s exile from the Hidden City and his feud with his brother are both solved through Leo’s intervention, and it’s also sweet that both of these issues’ respective episodes end with Hueso happy.

So not only does LWJ chop off JGY's arm for NO REASON since Jin Ling is already safe (JGY releases Jin Ling and shoves him away as Baxiapilled Wen Ning attacks), but chopping JGY's arm off ACTIVELY ENDANGERS JIN LING because what keeps Baxia's attention on Jin Ling isn't that Jin Ling and JGY figuratively share blood, it's that JGY's actual physical blood spattered on Jin Ling's robes when LWJ cut the arm off.
Pointed shot of WWX noticing Jin Ling's sleeve after Baxia turns:
Replay of JGY shoving Jin Ling away (from a different angle than before, which makes clear that JGY pushes JL clear before WWX gets to him):
Never-before-seen footage of LWJ cutting off JGY's arm and the spray of blood going everywhere:
So chopping off the arm was actively detrimental to JL's safety in this version! THANKS, HANGUANG-JUN!
