Hi! I keep seeing hanfu robes with just one shoulder, usually for men. What's up with that? Is it a thing that actually existed?

Hi, thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply! 

Yes, the style of wearing hanfu robes with just one shoulder for men existed historically, during the Tang dynasty. As @beehunni62 wrote in this post: 

The specific trend of hanfu worn here was one used during the Tang Dynasty, specifically for archery and/or horse riding. It’s composed of a white silk round collar undershirt 圆领汗衫中衣, a jacket called a banbi 半臂, and a round collar robe 圓領袍.

The sleeve pertaining to the arm of the dominant hand was removed from the shoulder and tucked under the belt to allow for maximum mobility and comfort while shooting arrows or horse riding.

The trend created the opportunity for two or more different fabrics to be placed side by side showcasing an aesthetic contrast.

Please check out the post for a more detailed explanation with images.

Hope this helps! ^^

Getting to be a kid in Kiseki: Dear to Me

Thinking about Ai Di's (Eddie's) enthusiastic enrolling of Bai Zhongyi in the school's costume contest.

With Ai Di being brought up in the mob, he really didn't get to be a kid, do kid things. He was trained and honed to be a killer from an early age.

Even his one attempt at normalcy, celebrating his and Chen Yi's "birthday" together each year, he may have had at one time, but Chen Yi has apparently lost interest in that long ago. If 18/21 is the 4th time Chen Yi stood him up, then 14/17 was the last time they celebrated together.

I don't know how popular Halloween is for kids in Taiwan - I see from Wikipedia it's become popular there in recent years - but gang membership likely wouldn't have created a space for Ai Di to engage in that celebration.

So Ai Di voluntelling Bai Zhongyi to take part in the costume contest is as much about Ai Di getting to be a kid for once as it is about him building a relationship with Fan Jherui's partner or fitting in as a student.

And Ai Di goes full blast, dressing up as Little Red Riding Hood with Zhongyi as the wolf.

How sad that, like the interrupted birthdays, Ai Di doesn't get to follow it through to completion, having to leave suddenly in response to the news on his phone.

As for Bai Zhongyi, he was abused, then abandoned as a child. So I wonder how much childing he got to do.

I hope Eddie and Zhongyi get to be kids sometime before the series ends.

Still technically unfinished (need to stitch the fake collar in a lil bit - its currently held in place by magnets but it rides up too easily when the doll is moved. then gotta figure out how im gonna add the "fastenings" aka a ribbon bow that'll hide the place where the magnet is stitched in. and ofc still need a banbi (short-sleeve jacket kinda) on top to complete the look. and shoes...) buuuuut I've decided to start working on SQQ now. Because tbh Im already super happy with how Binghe looks 🥹
