china_shop: Close-up of Da Qing looking conspiratorial (Guardian - Da Qing conspiratorial)
[personal profile] china_shop
[personal profile] trobadora already did a gorgeous Da Qing picspam; I want to focus on just one particular aspect of his character: talking to kittens!

Episode 14, 38:33 in an alley, being spied on by Cong Bo.

I told you many times, don't touch that rubbish. The cat is the most superior creature in the food chain. We should always maintain our elegance and pride. This way, people will come to ingratiate you.
我跟你们说了多少次了那么脏的垃圾少去碰猫 是食物链上最顶层的 我们要时候保持着优雅和骄傲这样才会有人类来献殷勤

Questions
  1. When Da Qing schools the alley kittens and asks them about Kunlun, does he expect them to understand him? Does he think he'll be able to make sense of their replies?

  2. Standing there in patched and worn overalls, he tells them cats should maintain their elegance and pride. What does he really mean by this principle?

  3. Does he talk to adult cats, too? If not, is it because he's ashamed of his language loss and doesn't want to lose face, or for some other reason?

  4. When Da Qing miaows at Shen Wei in the street in episode 34, is he speaking actual Cat? Maybe a single word or phrase he remembers without realising?

  5. If Da Qing used to speak Cat, does that mean Ya Qing can speak Crow and Fourth Uncle can speak Snake? Do you think Yashou treat their non-Yashou counterparts as lesser or just different? How do Flower Yashou feel about salad?

  6. Any other thoughts about Da Qing speaking Cat? Any fanworks showing him talking to kittens? Self-recs welcome!
