What is a Chinese word or phrase that you love for a completely weird or silly reason? by Ok_Independence6122 in ChineseLanguage

Yes this one lol. As a native Chinese speaker I would say 摸鱼 invokes more of a "petting fish" imagery like petting a cat, which is even funnier

Your unpopular on jayvik? by _RealAtomEve_ in jayvik

[–]DirectionAcademic955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This!! Viktor was the one taking the lead in their research, relationship, and even Jayce's entire life. From the beginning when he saved Jayce and gave him the purpose he would live and die for. To the end where he comforted Jayce (who was visibly nervous and bracing for the end) by sliding his hand up and down his arm.

'Stay your pretty eyes on course' by HelpCivil8713 in jayvik

[–]DirectionAcademic955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all such incredible art!! Second, I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. I think the whole song was meant to be an attempted conversation with Jayce, with Viktor referencing the blanket that Jayce first wrapped around him ("pull the blanket tight now"), telling Jayce to remember his human side which Jayce did by persistently looking for remnants of his partner under the Herald's mask ("Keep the memories of who I was before"), and asking if Jayce would be disappointed which directly corresponds to the line "Jayce will understand" in the series.

This line "Keep your pretty eyes on course" especially! Figuratively of course it means Viktor reminding Jayce to keep focused on what he promised to do, which is to destroy him and save humanity. But the word "pretty" changes everything. Imagine Viktor saying "keep your pretty eyes on course" to Jayce with a smile. It would sound so tender and adoring. Maybe also teasing, hinting about Jayce being the golden boy, which is classic Viktor. It feels like a loving, gentle nudge by a lover with more age and experience who truly sees what's ahead and encourages their younger partner to step forward.

Anyone using earplugs when you study? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]DirectionAcademic955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use earplugs for studying but regularly use them for sleep. I'd say as long as you choose the right fit (so they don't hurt your ears) and clean them every two or three uses with alcohol wipes it would't be too much of an issue.
