lan xichen is so fucking valid. it's been said before and better but he's not doing anything lan wangji isn't doing. they're both saying He Would Not Do That about their boyfriends, it's just that in lan xichen's case it turns out he actually would do that. not lan xichen's fault. he got unlucky. he made a choice just like lan wangji to trust and stand by his man and i guess you could make an argument that he was willfully ignorant but really what it comes down to is he knew jin guangyao was despised and undermined at every turn and he decided that he would presume innocence until proven guilty. just because jin guangyao did indeed get proven guilty doesn't mean it was wrong to presume him innocent in the interim.

This has been in the back of my mind lately

I bring sort of a 'peasants of the past were not as debased,uneducated and dirty as a lot of pesudo-medieval fiction makes them out to be but this new wave of attempting to sweep the very real indentured servitude, corporal ownership, poverty and lack of basic human rights under the rug isn't achieving what you think it's achieving' vibe to the party that people don't really like

'Frog and Toad ' by Arnold Lobel.

Doomed by the narrative nervous system

So many things would be better if doctors could just say “yeah that is a real problem but there isn’t much we can do to treat it so our only real recommendations are other things that raise your general health level to compensate”

instead they just say “thats normal” or “oh theres nothing wrong with you”. Because in their mind “it wont kill you and i cant fix it” means its not worth mentioning.

Affirm the problem doc, it wont kill you. Knowing that something just isnt the kind of thing doctors treat will save your patients so much time, money, and stress, all of which will improve their health.
