IT'S RIDICULOUS FUTURE BULLSHIT I TYPE SHIT DIRECTLY INTO THE WINDOW SOMETIMES
side note: oh my god how do babies have such cute feet?
they're so tiny and square and their toes are all the same length because they haven't walked on them ever it's somehow the cutest fucking thing I cannot
(I think it's because Baby Feet have just SUCH a specific look that only lasts the first few months, it's so specifically Baby)
A N Y W A Y
yes of course Popo did that on purpose and she was deeply amused about it
Was the storm a coincidence? There to facilitate Madam Yu's dramatic entrance? Madam Yu's method of transport? WHO CAN SAY
(me but I'm not going to)
(for real though she could not care less about flights diverted to Gusu, and lol at the Lan elders scrambling to prep a welcome for the French president with about one hour's notice)
some questions no-one has yet asked:
- What has Madam Yu being doing all this time?
how dare you question her how IMPERTINENT
- Who else is still alive?
do not go looking for the immortals you might find them
- just how good is Jordan's special hospital?
Ludicrously. Do you need to give an African elephant an MRI they are prepped for that and it has an extra-long table in case of giraffes
- So, like... sometimes animals get brought there from all over the world don't they?
absolutely. especially super valuable animals like members of endangered species with good genes and, like, the world's best racehorses
- What about blue whales?
VELITHYA I WILL SPILL COFFEE ON YOUR PILLOW AND IT WILL SMELL LIKE THAT FOREVER
no they cannot scan a blue fucking whale there are LIMITS
- So, Jordan attempting human medicine...
oh god please no she does not want to
- Do they seriously always sit Jordan and James next to each other?
Yes. Yes they do. Because everyone wants James to be Happy and At Ease because he Pleases Jiang Yanli and, like... he's a movie star? Between "you married JIANG YANLI like THE ACTUAL JIANG YANLI SHE'S RIGHT THERE" and "you are a WORLD FAMOUS MOVIE STAR" like, really a lot of people struggle to be Normal around him even before you factor in that he's Foreign and yet if you get the Yu to send Yu Ziyuan and her wife you have solved the Who Do We Sit Next To Jiang Yanli's Husband question because Yu Ziyuan's wife lives in his home town and is his cat's vet they know each other and she's married/maybe gay??/even if bisexual, extremely married/also she's known James since he was a toddler and has strong auntie vibes around him, her "on some level you are still five years old to me" energy is unmatched, they always seem happy to talk to each other and maybe show each other cat pictures, until everyone calms the fuck down about JIANG YANLI GOT MARRIED AGAIN the Yus are getting invited to events A LOT
- so how ready is Madam Yu for the modern world?
do you mean after she stopped by Popo's house to be like "so I'm thinking of rejoining the world" did Popo tell her "well I'll tell your kids to be ready for your arrival" and send her on to Lotus Pier or is she turning up with a smartphone and opinions about things that have previously been said in the family group chat?
that's not really the point
the question is: how ready is the modern world for Madam Yu?
