okay so. I am a smart adult with many important responsibilities. I have good taste and care about things that matter. for this reason, I’ve been trying to identify where in cql canon wangxian manage to fuck.

because they definitely do; I like a good post-canon getting together fic as much as the next guy, but it’s just not realistic.

allow them. it’s already been so long.

(just like this goddamn post turned out to be, let’s do a cut)

Read this slow burn agitated me so much haha

Also, you can see WWX take off his belt outside the Jingshi in the snow scene so your theory have been pretty much proven.

finding out these pale wash Levis (vinted) are seemingly from pre-1976 and would be, in modern terms, extremely faded raw selvedge denim. In their time they were normal jeans, just survived to a time where their manufacturing methods are luxury craft and garbage is the norm. that is to say I got a piece of history for 20 pounds. gonna need to keep these well-repaired.

Can you explain more about how these jeans differ from those made today and why they're better?

These are selvedge denim, which uses a different and much more durable weaving technique. They're also likely raw denim, I.E, denim that doesn't go through any treatments (stonewashing etc) to render it softer and more palatable. Most jeans go through a lot of treatment pre-sale, and it takes years off their life. So raw denim tends to be more durable (and fade uniquely over time due to having more dye still on it) at the cost of being very rough and stiff until you break it in. New heavyweight raw denim can literally stand up on its own, it's so inflexible. Picture wearing cardboard for a week or two.

You can still get raw selvedge in the modern day, it's just considered something exceptional and expensive rather than like, a regular pair of jeans. Also worth mentioning: old jeans were unsanforized, meaning they were not washed before being sold. This makes sizing less intuitive, as they shrink more the first few washes. But it also meant if you sized correctly you could put them on, sit in a cold bath and let them shrink to fit your proportions, almost like having them tailored. This is also something you can get in the modern day, but very rare.

(if you mean why are they good beyond all that, they're probably good in other ways to last 50 years, but my knowledge isn't that advanced)

This answers my question perfectly. Thank you for the interesting information!

Wait are we called mammals after mammary glands? Are mammals named after tits???

ARE WE THE BOOBS CLASS?

We are. And we also named our galaxy after boob juice. Twice.

"milky way" is obviously milk, but the hidden part is that "galaxy" comes from the Greek γάλα (gála), meaning "milk".

It's the tit-goo path tit-goo-thing. We are very, very breast focused as a species.

Eukaryote (good-kernels) as opposed to prokaryotes(before-kernels). We are the Domain of Fortunate Cellular Nuclei.

Animalia (of the anima.) we are in the Kingdom of the Breathing, or the Air-Souled.

Of the Phylum (tribe or clan) Chordata (having a string). We are the Clan of the String, referencing the spinal cord.

Class Mammalia, of course. the division of the titties.

Order Primate, which is a bit stuck-up, but I suppose the people doing the naming get to pick. Primate is of course primary, or First/Highest. Interestingly, this is in the sense of it being a job; a primate is a bishop of Christianity. This is reflected in the medieval Scala Naturae, where “primate” is an office held by the “natural” or divinely appointed top being in each tier of existence. Seraphim are the primate angels; humans are the primate people; lions are the primate animals; oak trees are the primate plants; and diamonds are the primate minerals. Translating the intent here, we are the Order of Ordained Authority, which we share with other natural bosses such as lemurs.

Depending how you want to do this, we are also suborder Haplorhini, the dry-nosed. This is separated from wet-nosed apes.

After this we land in the repetition of Homina-homina-homina-homina where there are several classes that drill down ever further, all of them rooted in “hominid.” Everyone knows homo is “man, human” but the root of why it’s “man” is because it is first “earth”. Human means “earthling”, and is rooted in “not-divine.” We are the family, subfamily, tribe and genus of earthlings.

By the time you get to species we are very lonely indeed, with only one species in our genus. This is actually a terrifically lonely place, and in this we are “sapiens.” This doesn’t mean just “wise” but “being wise,” which is more of a duty than a descriptor.

When you put it in context: Domain of Fortunate Nuclei, Kingdom of the Air-Souled, Clan of the String, Class of Milky Boobs, Order of the Bosses, Family of Earthlings, Tribe of Earthlings, People of Earth, Earthlings, Thinking Earthlings.

The point of taxonomy does seem to be making oneself a box that excludes all others in order to feel properly lonely and alone in it; one’s place in the world defined until one is alone. however, zooming out a bit, it does make for some stirring company.
