I thought it was a general being-critical-of-everything kind of thing

I guess. Poor Zhao Yunlan!! Drama!Zhao Xinxi's "You've made me disappointed" and criticising his leadership is bad enough! :-(((

Yeah, I thought it meant he was only remembering the sweetness between them but not SW's anger and all the red flags.

Ah, thanks. I usually think of carrot-and-stick as a motivation strategy, so I wasn't sure.

LOL, I have entirely forgotten about it!

I don't remember exactly-exactly. But this pearl is like in Casino Royale when Q gave Bond a portable defribulator, lol. "Here, you're going to need this." (That might technically not be the right use of Chekhov's X, now I come to think of it.)

but inauspicious means inherently bad for others

I thought inauspicious just meant unlucky. So then whether it's changeable depends on how much luck is a law of nature that can be changed. Or is that like trying to make a rock have less gravity?

Maybe Daqing is just being an extra-fussy cat.

I think he is. skritches him :D :D :D

Maybe DQ is just used to being a cat, and he likes it like that (and the relationship dynamics it engenders).
