All this trans!Nie Mingjue really makes me want some trans!Jiang Cheng, and if you want too, maybe him ending out pregnant instead of his core being melted, because if I remember correctly Wen Zhuli was honorable, so if Jiāng Cheng did get raped by one of his subordinates, I feel he’d try too limit Jiang Cheng’s suffering.
“It’s not that I’m especially opposed to an alliance by marriage, but who were you planning on having marry in?” Nie Mingjue asked Jiang Fengmian and Madame Yu politely.
They blinked at him.
“I think,” Madame Yu said dryly, after a few minutes, “that we were planning on A-Cheng marrying in. Women usually do.”
“But your son isn’t a woman,” Nie Mingjue said, which he thought was quite reasonable.
“I don’t have a son,” Jiang Fengmian said. “Only two daughters.”
Nie Mingjue frowned. “You have an older daughter and a younger son. Hasn’t he told you?”
“Ah, you mean – by Qinghe standards,” Jiang Fengmian said. He sounded uncomfortable with the idea, which made Nie Mingjue’s eyes narrow and Jiang Fengmian immediately drop the notion of saying something more along those lines. After all, Nie Mingjue himself was a man ‘by Qinghe standards’, as the other sect leader put it, and starting trouble with Qinghe wasn’t on the agenda for today. “Sect Leader Nie, I appreciate your concern, but my daughter –”
“Son.”
“My daughter is a woman. We don’t practice Qinghe ways here.”
“It doesn’t really matter what you practice in the Lotus Pier,” Nie Mingjue said. He was wearing his best pleasant smile, which most people said looked like he was about to start chopping people into pieces. It was, at the moment, a fair description. “From my perspective, with my Qinghe ways, you have a son, who is a man. However you wish to treat him or raise him is up to you, of course, and I’m still willing to arrange a marriage between him and Huaisang, to be maintained or cancelled at their will when they’re older, including a marriage in which Jiang Cheng marries into the Unclean Realm. But what I will not tolerate is Huaisang getting confused by being told on one hand that he has a wife and the other a husband. He’s very fragile after our father’s death; I’m sure you understand.”
Jiang Fengmian, who’d been about to protest, shut his mouth, his desire for Nie Mingjue not to bring up, yet again, the fact of his father’s murder at the hands of Wen Ruohan – a murder that would need to be answered for, one day – outweighing his desire to argue back.
It was a petty move, but Nie Mingjue was aware that he had very few cards to play against the older and more influential man, and that meant he had to use them all no matter how petty to get what he wanted.
Mostly, in this case, for Jiang Cheng to be treated the way he so obviously identified. The damage that could be done by people who didn’t understand this sort of thing was incalculable – it was worth sticking his nose into another family’s business, no matter how rude, to try to make a difference if he could.
There were long few minutes of silence, in which Nie Mingjue stood his (tenuous) ground and Jiang Fengmian considered possible responses that would result in even more awkwardness.
Just at the point that it was getting intolerable, Madame Yu snorted, a surprisingly inelegant sound for such a refined woman.
“Let him be a son and a husband, then,” she said, her voice a little waspish. “If he changes his mind later, he can resume being a daughter, and there will be no loss.”
It wasn’t exactly how Nie Mingjue had intended on settling Nie Huaisang’s marriage, but it seemed a worthwhile conclusion, even if Jiang Fengmian was clearly not entirely on board.
“Very well,” he said. “Are we agreed?”
The marriage was unofficially dissolved when the boys were twelve, if by ‘dissolved’ one meant that the entire Jiang sect had entirely forgotten that their young master had ever been a young mistress, even Jiang Fengmian. A casual comment to Madame Yu that she ought to consider finding someone to marry in to their sect so that the heir could be officially confirmed, rather than wasting him on a cutsleeve marriage out, was more than enough for the entire concept to be permanently misplaced.
(Not that he thought they would make a bad pair, but if that was the case they could always figure it out for themselves later on.)
As far as Nie Mingjue was concerned, that was the end of it.
And yet, years later, it was at Nie Mingjue’s tent in Heijan that Jiang Cheng came, a twisted expression on his face.
“I have a problem,” he said, and touched his stomach lightly in a place a little too far down to suggest a stomachache. “I don’t know what to do about it, and – when I was younger, Huaisang said – well. I thought you might have some insight.”
Nie Mingjue let Jiang Cheng into the tent and put up a silencing array behind him, the sort used to protect news delivered by the most important spies.
“I’m not sure what you want me to tell you,” he said honestly. “It’s not a problem I’ve encountered on a personal basis, if you understand my meaning. Do you want to keep it or not?”
Jiang Cheng settled down where Nie Mingjue led him, still grimacing. “I don’t know,” he said. “The idea of bearing a child for any one of them disgusts me beyond telling. But on the other hand, what did the child have to do with it? It seems unfair not to give it a chance to live.”
“It’s not a child yet,” Nie Mingjue pointed out. He could do math, and the fall of the Lotus Pier wasn’t that long ago. “There’s no way that it’s quickened this soon after. Right now, it’s a problem that can be eliminated with a bowl of medicine, if that’s what you want.”
“I know,” Jiang Cheng said. “I’m considering it. It’s only…on one hand, even if it’s not a child yet, it could be a child, if I let it. A Jiang child, with me as its father, and obviously my Jiang sect could use as many new members as possible, no matter what the other half of their biological origin. But on the other hand – wouldn’t it be irresponsible to carry a child now? I’m leading the Jiang sect’s efforts against the Wens, trying to avenge what they did to me, to my parents, to my sect, and a child would be a distraction from that…and Wei Wuxian, who might have helped me out, is still missing.”
Nie Mingjue didn’t comment on Wei Wuxian, even though he itched, as he often did, to remind Jiang Cheng that no matter how atrociously Jiang Fengmian had behaved – and no matter what the condition of his birth had been, legitimate and incorrectly categorized – he was the son and heir of the Jiang clan.
Not the child Jiang Fengmian had brought in and treated as if he’d been the son he’d never had.
(Really, Nie Mingjue didn’t understand places like Yunmeng. What was the point of not recognizing misaligned reincarnations like theirs? It wouldn’t make it any less true.)
“Depending on the way it affects you, you could be out in the fields for months still,” he said reasonably. “Certainly plenty of mothers in Qinghe don’t go into isolation until there’s only a few weeks left. And even if you aren’t, I can take charge on the battlefield while you consult on strategy from the backend, the same way you would if you’d been taken out of the field because of an injury – Lan Xichen is doing much the same thing, when he’s not acting as courier, and he’s doing it because he’s a terrible general rather than any logistical reason.”
“But it’s not an injury.”
Nie Mingjue frowned at him. “You’re making it very difficult to resist making some sort of pun about the Wen sect’s swords, Sect Leader Jiang, and I don’t even like that sort of crude humor.”
Jiang Cheng took a second to get it, then snorted. “I supposed you could say I got ‘stabbed’ a few times, yes.”
“Only a few times? They really are worthless dogs.”
And now Jiang Cheng was laughing, even though he was trying to stop himself. “That’s terrible, stop it…you know, I suppose, if you look at it from a certain perspective, I really am just suffering from – from post-stabbing complications.”
“Seems reasonable enough to me.” Nie Mingjue poured Jiang Cheng a cup of the tea that had already been cooling on his desk – a little rude, but better than wasting time making a new pot. “If you do decide to keep it, you can leave the child with Nie Huaisang once it’s born, if you like. He’s always liked children, and it’s not as if I’m going to let him get anywhere near a battlefield, now or ever.”
“Are you sure he’s not a woman?” Jiang Cheng asked. He sounded almost wistful, which suggested that the arranged marriage they’d set up so many years ago might even have a chance of resurrecting; Nie Mingjue would have to slip Nie Huaisang a hint. “With the fans and the birds and the pretty things –”
“He says he isn’t, and so he isn’t,” Nie Mingjue said with a sigh. “I admit it’d make it easier if he was. No one outside of Qinghe would question his below-average talent or his love of frivolities if he was a woman, however unfair that might be, and it’d make things easier for him.”
“You’d still yell at him to practice his saber.”
“Of course. What does saber have to do with gender?”
Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his head. “Thank you,” he said. “I still haven’t decided one way or another, but…it’s good to know there’s a way to do it, if I want, that doesn’t mean that – I’m not as brave as you. I don’t want people to know.”
“It’s not a matter of bravery,” Nie Mingjue said. “It’s common etiquette. Anyone who spends time thinking about another person’s genitals that isn’t planning on courting them is wasting their time.”
Jiang Cheng snickered. “No, I mean – people know about you, that you’re misaligned. You’ve never been shy about it.”
Nie Mingjue was pretty sure Jiang Cheng was thinking about the incident during a discussion conference some years back when he’d been shouting at Jin Guangshan over something or another – loud enough to be audible across half the city, it seemed, based on the number of people who talked about it afterwards – and ended the rant by telling the other sect leader to suck his non-existent dick.
“I’m not really a shy person,” he said dryly, and Jiang Cheng pressed his lips together in an evident attempt to avoid descending into giggles – he’s definitely thinking about the suck-my-dick comment. “Also, Qinghe is a bit more open about these things; it makes it easier, not having to explain exactly what it means or doesn’t mean. Don’t be too hard yourself.”
Jiang Cheng didn’t seem convinced, but nodded anyway.
“It’s not just that,” he said, though obviously it was, in some large part, that. Jiang Cheng’s complicated relationship with Wei Wuxian was proof of it, if nothing else. “It’s also – people can do math. I don’t want people thinking I’m weak, or a pushover.”
“No one who has seen you wield Zidian is likely to make that mistake,” Nie Mingjue said, but he could tell from the set of Jiang Cheng’s shoulders that that wasn’t enough. “It isn’t weakness, you know. Anyone can be captured, anyone can be tortured – some people will have to live without a leg or an arm, after what they suffered, and that’s the lucky ones that didn’t die. That’s all it ever is in war – just luck, good or bad. If I walked into a Wen ambush next week, I’d be as liable to complications from a Wen ‘stab’ as you, but it wouldn’t be because my strength wasn’t enough.”
“I guess,” Jiang Cheng said. “It’s just – if I kept the child, people would have to know, wouldn’t they?”
“Says who? If you retire from the battlefield due to complications from an injury for a few months, then the assumption will be that you found out that you got some poor girl pregnant and took on the child once you knew. If you do want people to know that you carried it, well, children come and go at their own speed.” Nie Mingjue shrugged. “Let some gossip overhear you talking about how you were already carrying the Lotus Pier’s next heir before any Wen set a foot on Yunmeng soil, and everyone will put together the rest. You know how it goes.”
“I suppose I do, at that.”
“Huaisang could probably put together a convincing story,” Nie Mingjue said. “He’s really very good at identifying every possible point in time and place where someone could be having sex, even if the actual personalities involved make it highly unlikely. And then he illustrates it, usually.”
Jiang Cheng was smiling, and his shoulders were straight again – his burdens lifted, however temporarily.
Good.
“Let me know what you decide,” Nie Mingjue said. “I know just enough about medicine to be able to mix you up what you need using just the medicine I already keep in my general collection, so no one would need to know, if that’s what you choose. And if you choose the other way, well, I have the medicines to help support that, too.”
“You keep that much medicine?”
“I’m not sure if you’ve heard about the tendency of the Qinghe Nie towards qi deviations –” Of course he had. Everyone had. “– but we have a habit of keeping an awful lot of medicine on hand.”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” Jiang Cheng said, and he was frowning a little, thoughtful, but not as stressed as he’d been earlier. “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it,” Nie Mingjue said. “Really, don’t. If I let it get out that I give advice, every misaligned sonofabitch that wants to get a promotion will start showing up at my door with problems that are really just an excuse to get a chat in with the sect leader, and then where will my troubles end?”
Jiang Cheng, who was dealing with similar problems, smirked. “That doesn’t seem like my problem. At least people know better than to ask anything of me.”
“That can change,” Nie Mingjue said threateningly. “I’ll get Huaisang on it; see what happens to your reputation then.”
Jiang Cheng held up his hands in surrender as he retreated.
Nie Mingjue wondered for a moment which way he’d pick, but then remembered that it wasn’t his business and also that there was a war on that needed his attention a bit more.
Personal problems could wait.

Oscar Niemeyer será a maior sede da 14ª Bienal de Curitiba
A 14ª Bienal Internacional de Arte Contemporânea de Curitiba: “Fronteiras em Aberto” será inaugurada oficialmente neste sábado (21), no Museu Oscar Niemeyer (MON). O maior museu de arte da América Latina é também a maior sede do evento, apresentando o trabalho de aproximadamente 100 artistas distribuídos entre as Salas 1, 2, 4, 9, 11, Espaço Araucária, Torre, Olho e Espaço Externo.
Excepcionalmente neste sábado, em razão da abertura da Bienal, a visitação ao MON será encerrada às 17h. A bilheteria fará a venda de ingressos até as 16h. A visitação às salas da Bienal, com entrada gratuita, terá início às 18h.
Com destaque à participação de artistas contemporâneos dos países do Brics (Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China e África do Sul), as obras expostas contam com curadoria de Adolfo Montejo Navas (Espanha), Tereza de Arruda (Brasil/Alemanha), Ernestine White-Mifetu (África do Sul), Gabriela Urtiaga (Argentina), Massimo Scaringella (Itália), Daniel Faust (Suíça), Esenija Bannan (Rússia), Lu Zhengyuan (China) e Li Xiangning (China).
“A Bienal é o conhecimento do novo e o revisionismo necessário. O olhar novo e o novo olhar. É um continente novo para quem precisa migrar em busca de novas inspirações. São 25 anos de reinvenção”, afirma o secretário estadual da Comunicação Social e da Cultura, Hudson José.
A diretora-presidente do Museu Oscar Niemeyer, Juliana Vosnika, diz que o MON, orgulhosamente, é um dos espaços oficiais do evento. “Aqui, exposições e atividades da Bienal não se limitam às paredes internas do prédio e vão além. O público se surpreende com instalações na área externa, performances ou propostas interativas no vão livre, além das significativas exposições nas salas oficiais”, explica.
Juliana afirma ainda que, como instituição, o Museu Oscar Niemeyer compartilha do mesmo objetivo da Bienal: extrapolar paredes e fronteiras. “O principal desafio do MON é estar cada vez mais próximo do público e incentivar a sociedade a fazer parte do cotidiano do Museu, o que o mantém vivo e dinâmico”.
Assim como a Bienal, o objetivo do Museu é transbordar arte e através dela atingir cada cidadão. “Olhamos para o futuro tendo a certeza do quanto ele depende do acesso à cultura. Parabéns, Bienal, por contribuir para manter as fronteiras sempre abertas por meio da arte”, diz Juliana.

The claim that Vietnamese inheritance patterns were bilateral and indicative of wider patterns of Southeast Asian women's autonomy or Vietnamese protonational uniqueness reflect major themes in the historiography on Vietnam. Past scholarship suggests that lawmakers of the Lê (1427-1783) and Mạc (1527-60) dynasties codified bilateral succession practices, attesting to the relative autonomy that Vietnamese women shared with their Southeast Asian counterparts. This essay challenges the claims of bilateralism and argues that Lê dynasty law, local custom, and legal practice preserved the principles of patrilineal succession. Though the language and adjudication of the law limited daughters' succession rights, ironically, these restrictions on their private rights enabled women to carve out spaces of authority in village economic and religious life. To avoid the transfer of their property to male relatives, some women instead transferred property to local institutions in order to lay claim over their personal property and to ensure the maintenance of their ancestral rites in perpetuity. In effect, rather than a system that elevated women's status, the property regime served as a site of contestation in which women could claim large economic and religious roles in local settings.
Tran, Nhung Tuyet. "Gender, Property, and the 'Autonomy Thesis' in Southeast Asia: The Endowment of Local Succession in Early Modern Vietnam." The Journal of Asian Studies, Vol. 67, No. 1 (Feb., 2008), pp. 43-72.
By characterizing Vietnamese women's property claims as reflective of a pro to feminist agenda, scholars mark them as signs of both tradition and modernity. The seemingly contradictory features can be understood as mutually reinforcing if we consider that by marking women's elevated legal status as a timeless feature of Vietnamese tradition, traditional Vietnamese law embodied the ideals of modernity (gender equality) long before other societies. Such a characterization of early modern Vietnamese society betrays a modern interpretation of five hundred-year-old sources. The sources reveal that state law, local structure, and customary regulations were not premised on equality between people but on a complex web of kinship networks and social obligations. In that society, one's property claims were predicated on gender, familial, and social position. By suggesting that the codification of women's property claims reflects a liberal, protofeminist agenda, scholars implicitly frame the discussion within Western narratives of modernization.
Within this framework, scholars have argued that children in early modern Vietnamese families inherited household property equally, regardless of gender (Nguyen and Ta 1987; Reid 1988; Ta 1984; Yu 1990). In addition, scholars suggest that the Le Code enshrined bilateral kinship practices by guaranteeing a daughter's claim to succeed her father (Haines 1976; Nguyen and Ta 1987; Yu 2000). In this context, succession was marked by the acceptance of "fire and incense" (huang hoa) property, the income from which could be used to maintain the spiritual offerings to one's departed parents. However, the available legal sources suggest that the prescriptive legal sources neither guaranteed daughters' claims to an equal share of household division nor codified long-standing patterns of bilateral succession. Rather, state regulations and local practice protected the property claims of sons according to the principles of patrilineal succession. Despite these restrictions, some women were able to lay claim over household property through clever strategies of succession.
[...]
The most convincing evidence contradicting the equal share claim involves a statute in the Book of Good Government that limited a daughter's property claims against her half-brother's claims. This is the only instance in which a regulation specified that a daughter should inherit a portion of the household property equal to that of her brother. The statute regulated the division of household property in the case of widow remarriage, providing hypothetical scenarios for the woman's children to inherit and divide her and her late husband's property. In one scenario, the statute specified the procedure if the woman conceived a son in the first marriage and a daughter in the second marriage. In that instance, "upon the latter husband's (hau phu) death, the 'fire and incense' property shall be returned to his daughter and cannot be returned to the first husband's son to succeed (tu)" (HDTCT, 55). The logic behind this provision is clear: The child of another man, the first husband's son, could not succeed the second husband. Allowing another man's son to succeed one's ancestral property would create disorder (loan) with respect to the ancestral offerings. Thus, the daughter might accept the fire and incense property and maintain the spiritual sacrifices for her father during her own lifetime, after which time she must return it to father's lineage. The statute continues, "As for the mother's property, [it] shall be divided in two, the first husband's son to receive one portion and the latter husband's daughter to receive one portion" (HDTCT, 55). Although the statute dictated that this daughter's share be equal to that of her brother's, when read with the previous clause, it specifically limited her claim to household property.

my anime boston recap
i told a few people i’d write this, so here. warning, it’s long as fuck.
rebecca black - friday
while waiting for artists’ alley to open, i sat in a corner and watched people go by and saw a group cosplaying the main characters from the extremely underrecognized game the arcana, which was awesome and i totally would have asked for a picture but i’m way too shy. even though i’ve asked cosplayers for pictures before but i seem to have regressed in that sense...
i also saw (and this happened throughout the con) a bunch of hot, fit, really thin girls, which made me feel gay (as expected) but also really envious and sad and insecure about my body. cause i wish i looked more like them.
i also saw two girls cosplaying snow halation!honoka and kotori from love live, and the honoka had a giant honk nesoberi that i totally envy, and then right afterward a hate na heartbeat!eli and nozomi came around the corner and they were the coolest. i wish i’d had the guts to ask them for a picture too.
finally i went to artists’ alley and i got to buy a print from one of my favorite persona 5 fan artists but unfortunately she didn’t have the postcard set i wanted to buy. BUT right across was another fan artist whose stuff i really like so i bought a BUNCH of her prints - one of each of the p5 girls for me, and an extra makoto for my friend - and she came over to thank me and we chatted a little and it was nice. i am fucking determined to befriend some of these people and now at least one of them knows who i am.
i went to a panel on “fandom as coping” presented by a social worker which was really cool. she talked about how even though she’s a social worker, she still went through a severely suicidal period this past year and survived because of yuri on ice. i left partway through because then she turned it over to the audience to share our stories and i didn’t need to hear from a bunch of people talking about bad things that had happened to them.
the next thing i went to, after hanging around the vendors for a while, was tara platt’s (mitsuru and elizabeth from persona 3) q&a. she was really cool, and i actually managed to ask her a question, which was which one she preferred. (she said she can’t choose a favorite, but had more fun with elizabeth.)
i went to a presentation by sunrise, the studio that made love live among other things, but it was boring and i left early again because they were talking about gundam and other action stuff i don’t care about.
i’d planned on going to johnny yong bosch’s (makoto from free, kitamura from toradora, yu and adachi from p4) q&a, but it had a hella long line and it was obvious i wasn’t going to get in since the room wasn’t going to accommodate that many people. so i went over to a panel greg ayres (kaoru from ouran, nagisa from free, monokuma from the danganronpa anime) was doing on “it gets better.” come to find out he is openly bi! and is good friends with his ex who’s a trans woman and confronted her family about misgendering her! he is my new fav ngl and a far cry from hikaru’s va whom i met at tora-con a few years ago and was kind of an ego. it was a conversation sort of panel and we talked about a lot of stuff around queerness and bullying. i had to leave that one early too, but wished i could have stayed for the whole thing. also, there was a girl across the aisle from me who mentioned she was trans, and at one point i happened to catch her looking at me, and i think she was checking me out! sadly, i did not run into her again.
the reason i had to leave early was to get johnny’s autograph. he was really cool and i totes wish i could’ve gone to his q&a. since i don’t actually have any free! or toradora! or p4 merch, i had him sign my p3/p5 dancing game since it did at least come with p4 dancing as a free download. he took his daughter with him to the con which i find adorable though i have to wonder how bored she was sitting there for an hour and a half while he signed autographs.
katy perry - last friday night
at this point, i had a couple hours to kill, so i walked out to newbury comics in the hopes they’d have the bananarama vinyl reissues from the british record store day. they didn’t (though weirdly they did have the shakespears sister one), but they had kacey musgraves’ golden hour on sale, and i’ve been waffling on buying that for ages, so i finally snapped it up. then i went back to the mall where the con (sort of) was and got some godiva ice cream, which was even more overpriced than you’d expect but still very good.
so my last agenda item for the day was yuri lowenthal’s (makoto/minato from p3, yosuke from p4) q&a, which tara crashed because they’re married, which i love because it means that mitsuru is irl the canon waifu. once again i managed to ask a question, which was which p3 girl he’d like to have minato end up with, which made everyone laugh, and of course he said “i want to preserve my marriage, so either mitsuru or elizabeth.”
then i went home and felt like death.
i don’t know any songs that have “saturday morning” in the title
i took an uber to the con for saturday because the T was being replaced with a shuttle bus and i decided i’d rather pay $17 each way for a 15-minute trip than $2.50 each way for a 90-minute trip.
i went to a panel on “idols in anime” that was kind of interesting but i didn’t take much away from it, other than that i should maybe watch revue starlight. but then i went to a panel on “diversity in the magical girl genre” that was really cool. it was hosted by a queer latina woman and she talked about racial, gender, sexual, and ability diversity. it was interesting because she has a very negative view of yuuki yuuna, which i can certainly understand but don’t really share. but it was a great panel and i feel like i learned a lot. one neat idea she had was that what comes across as queerbaiting (or whatever-baiting) to western audiences can be really progressive representation in japan, and vice versa.
after that i went to another panel on “magical girl fashion” and literally got up and left because i couldn’t stand how wrong the presenter was.
i’d missed out both days on the free autograph passes for yuri and tara, so i went to their paid session, which to make a long story short was an absolute fucking disaster, and i ended up making a complaint, during which i cried in front of the con’s assistant director. so there’s something i can check off my bucket list. i also met the director, who came over to reassure me they were fixing things and said, “i keep saying i need a machete to take off people’s heads this year.” so obviously i immediately liked her! in the end, i did get their autographs (on the same p3d/p5d game) for fifty fucking dollars... i’d been expecting more like thirty. and they didn’t even personalize them. sad trombone noise. they were nice though.
then i rushed over to the free autographs and saw kara edwards (chihiro in the danganronpa anime) and had her autograph a wall scroll i’d bought from a vendor. i wish i could’ve gone to her q&a because she seemed sweet.
and right after THAT, i got in line for tara sands (a bunch of pokemon) and had her sign a manga volume i bought for my friend. she was also awesome and i really wish i could have gone to her q&a because we had this exchange:
me: this is for my friend who’s a huge bulbasaur fan
sands: oh, you’re such a good friend!
me: i know. and i won’t let them forget it.
sands: [laughs] that’s good! keep it up, i like your style!
i then went to greg’s q&a, which was fun. he mentioned that while recording the audio commentary for ouran, caitlin glass (haruhi) and todd haberkorn (hikaru) got really uncomfortable during one of the twincest scenes and started talking about anything else they could so they wouldn’t have to talk about the twincest, and in the commentary you can just hear greg laugh a little because he’d made himself laugh by thinking of saying “i just think it’s hot” but kept himself from saying it out loud. the hero we deserve tbh.
whigfield - saturday night (i actually don’t like that song btw)
at this point, it was time for the 18+ panels to start, so i went to one where yuri, tara platt, lisa ortiz (idk her), and billy kametz (same) did in-character readings of various scripts. they did a couple of star wars ones which obviously did nothing for me, except that tara did bb-8 in a christopher walken voice, which was fucking hysterical. the other one i remember was lisa doing a southern belle voice narrating the notebook, with yuri as sasuke (i think) as noah, and billy as lelouch (?) as ally. but the best one, of course, was the last one, which was the iocane powder scene from the princess bride, performed by yuri as spider-cop (iirc) as the sicilian and tara as elizabeth as westley. it was AMAZING.
then i went to greg’s 18+ panel where he recounted risqué stories like when his mom wanted to watch an anime where his character has anal sex. i remember it being hilarious but unfortunately don’t remember any specifics other than him affectionately calling his lawyer the C-word and a story about beating up an asshat in the o’hare airport after asshat broke a jigglypuff ornament his friend made him.
blondie - sunday girl
so having stayed out past 11:30 for greg’s panel the night before, and forgetting to take melatonin before bed... i actually couldn’t wake up sunday morning so didn’t end up going back to the con at all. which was really sad and disappointing as it meant i missed getting greg’s autograph, a panel on autism in anime fandom, and the voice actor roundtable panel, all of which i really wanted. so after finally getting up at 2:30pm i spent the rest of the day super depressed and mad at myself and just sad and disappointed.
the end.

Hyperallergic: Eclipses, Comets, and Dragons in a 16th-Century Chinese Text, Available from Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller
A rich and finely illustrated manuscript entitled Yu zhi tian yuan yu li xiang yi fu [trans.: “Essay on the Astronomical & Meteorological Presages by Emperor Renzong of Ming Dynasty”] on paper with 878 vividly colored illustrations, 10 volumes, tall agenda format (360 x 190 mm.), original wrappers preserved in modern wrappers, modern stitching
The upcoming total eclipse has people in a frenzy — with airfares spiking to total eclipse zones and “eclipse sunglasses” selling out — but we’re far from the first ones to be fascinated by the obscuring of the sun’s rays. A 15th- to 16th-century Chinese manuscript compendium, currently available for purchase from Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, records prognostications related to astronomic phenomena, including the possible meanings of eclipses.
The compendium, entitled Yu zhi tian yuan yu li xiang yi fu (“Essay on the Astronomical & Meteorological Presages by Emperor Renzong of Ming Dynasty”) spans more than 800 pages and 10 volumes, with the pages filled with illustrations documenting these phenomena. Besides eclipses, the pages contain comets, fish rain, flames coming out of the earth, dragons in the sky, and the moving of mountains. More mundane entries can also be found, including the movement of the plants and the locations of constellations in the sky. Many of these illustrations depict pastoral landscapes marred by an impending cosmic calamity, while others seem prescient of the aesthetics of centuries later — one page, depicting “concentric haloes,” calls to mind the atomic diagrams and Op-art of the mid-20th century.
The manuscript was prepared for the Emperor Ming Renzong (or Chu Kao Chih or Zhu Gaochi) (1378–1425), and was intended for circulation among his high officials. Ming Renzong had a reign of only nine months, but was considered an enlightened leader who established a legacy of improvements in that short time. The prognostications on these pages were written by Zhu Xi (Zhu Wengong) (1130–1200), a thinker considered second only to Confucius in Chinese history, and other Confucian scholars.

Founded in 1978, Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller is based in New York City and offers books from the famous and canonical — in the past, they’ve sold first editions of texts by Aristotle, Copernicus, Darwin and Einstein, among others — to the unusual and esoteric.
Particularly fascinating are a set of diaries that chronicle the lives of four members of a prominent Bavarian family, among them a notorious libertine. Joseph von Chlingensberg auf Berg (May 26, 1777–May 24, 1830), the son of prominent lawyer Joseph Maria Bernhard von Chlingensberg (1749–1811).
Pages from the manuscript diaries of four members of the prominent Bavarian family Chlingensberg: Joseph Maria Bernhard von Chlingensberg (1749–1811), his son Joseph von Chlingensberg auf Berg (1777–1830), the younger Joseph’s wife Karoline von Chlingensberg, née Baroness von Asch (1789-1826), and their son Joseph von Chlingensberg (1808–37)
The younger Joseph recorded the last 30 years of his life in his diaries, often recording multiple entries in a single day. All details of his life are faithfully recorded — from the mundane goings-on of running a household, to his prodigious sexual escapades, which were coded in cipher. His exploits are recorded in pornographically crude language — yet he also had a sentimental side. “I had time to leisurely take my leave amid 100 kisses from the woman who is so eternally and unforgettably dear to my heart, and who alone could be my happiness on earth,” he wrote on September 7, 1807. (There are also plenty of diary entires that are not about kissing.)
