Argh, sorry about the formatting fail. /o\

Live broadcasts are hard to control, though, especially the kind where people can call in.

True, but if it's known there are consequences, they kind of control themselves to some extent? (I guess I'm wondering how authoritarian Haixing is. It can't be explicitly democratic -- I can't imagine the censors would allow that? But are we supposed to think it's pretty relaxed/liberal, for all that?)

YES!!!!!! Seriously, I'm so delighted to discover this particular thematic mirroring :D

\o/!! :D

I'm not sure when it changed, but at some point before the first time he went to Dixing and didn't bother to change at all, not before he went through the passage, not when he entered the palace and talked to officials, just ... not at all.

It must be psychologically connected to the reveal in Haixing somehow, I think? Hm.

(I love him Envoying in a suit, but I would really REALLY love seeing him Professoring in his robes!)

Yes! *eyes several WIPs that meet this criteria, to a greater or lesser extent* ;-p
