This one is pissing me off because there’s cheese in it. I’m not sure there’s a period of Chinese dynastic history wherein the type of dudes likely to be having rap battles would also have been familiar with hard cheese. There’d be political fucking implications to that. Fermented dairy products were often seen as uncivilized foods, and were associated in particular with northern “barbarian” cuisine (see: <lactose intolerance in Eurasia>), whereas competitive poetry was viewed as a civilized and scholarly pastime appropriate to civil servants and courtiers. Mentioning cheese in a verse which also references the heavens could be seen as an effort to legitimize the presence of these dangerous foreign elements within Chinese society, and, thus, as seditious. If dairy were to become a common theme in rap battles, it might be viewed as a dangerous sign of poor morale and defeatist thinking among the literati. “Emperor, we have got to move the capital to the south. The scholars are rapping about cheese. It’s all falling apart.”

Dawn and Spike my favorite besties Dawn and Spike okay you can’t just give me a dynamic like theirs and expect me to be normal about them or not upset when you just drop it. Like okay so here is this notoriously evil guy, wretched little bastard man now we’re gonna drop a 14-year-old mystical kid on him like okay you’re on babysitting duty now you’re an older brother you’re literally a dad now. You are a rude crass punk creature of the night who wears steel toes and leather and smokes and drinks and screams bad influence but whoops guess you’re a girl dad now :/ And here’s this literal tween who writes in her dairy and wears pink jackets and bendy clips in her hair and she’s so cute but actually a little spooky and she likes to hang out with the self-proclaimed evil crypt-dwelling vampire and she likes to hear his gruesome little stories. Here is this early series former villain literal monster who takes exactly one look at this annoying sassy bubblegum little girl and says “okay, guess I have to kill anybody who even tries to lay a finger on her now”
