I love how this came up in a whole other thread, and now it came up here again. :D
Haha, right? Everything's connected, LOL.
So maybe it's not about interacting with people, maybe it's just about Shen Wei not being able to judge if other people follow the right conventions.
I guess? I think you'd need to be able to judge that to some degree to "navigate social situations with ease", wouldn't you? Idk, maybe I'm being too literal about this.
Good poitn that he doesn't have experience with family, though.
"*grumbles* I want him to be into it because it's Shen Wei's hair, because of what it means to him to see Shen Wei like that, not because he's into this sort of thing in general!"
Oh, I saw this the opposite way - I took the "whether or not that was true of Zhao Yunlan" as 'he has no idea if he would like anyone else's long hair, but he sure loves Shen Wei's long hair'.
I'd much prefer that reading! But "a flawless example of the kind of thing he was into" makes it sound like the opposite to me. Idk.
Yepppp. :D This is why when you said something to the effect of 'I don't understand why he did what he did', I was like 'he doesn't either'. ;D
Glad to know that, yeah! It was so confusing. (And still is, but not as much, now that the narrative has drawn attention to it and I know more is forthcoming.)
xD :D :D That's a fantastic terrible pun. :D

It's because of the life/death, right/wrong etc. speech that both his father and Shennong made. :)
Oh right, duh, that wasn't exactly a subtle callback, LOL. Yet it had totally slipped my mind!
Ahhhh, this is so sweet?? ♡♡♡! (And also really fun - Weilan from SID outsider POV is my catnip. xD)
Yeah, agreed, I'm sorry that's not in the official version!
I love this scene so much, thank you for sharing! But I'd definitely keep the part where he lists all of his favorite people by name in the official translation. :D ♡ (But now I want Shen Wei to also be listed there!)
100% agreed on all of this!
They could keep both parts imo, because I really love the caressing. :D
Yeah, good point, just slip the iconic line back in and we're good! *g*
Oh wow, I like this, that's a really powerful statement, and 100% true imo. And not only he says all of it to Shen Wei, he's also a lot more certain about it! I can see how it's too early for that.
Yeah, and like you say, in the conversation with Shennong's bowl, too - too much, too clearly, too certain, too soon. Some of these edits definitely make sense to me, even when others don't. *g*
no subject
