I canon reviewed The Untamed for my Baoshan Sanren/Lan Yi, and look, if the Yin Iron was forged by Xue Chonghai 100 years ago, how come Lan Yi is discovering it as if it were an old and ancient and forgotten thing also 100 years ago? And why is Lan Wangji calling her Ancestor instead of (great-)grandmother or something? She was the sect leader, he's the sect leader's little brother, he should know the actual relation! I understand that censorship happened, but surely at least the Xue Chonghai bits could've been over 100 years ago? 300, maybe? And Lan Yi and Baoshan Sanren over 100 years ago – or have Lan Wangji call her Aunty or something.

Somewhat relatedly, I wonder about the menstrual supplies of Dixing. Do they all use rags, or some cave moss, or is there a flourishing trade in smuggled pads and tampons? Did Zhu Jiu finance his operation by selling Tampax?

Unrelatedly, 音阙诗听's songs have been a good source of inspiration. In addition to 立春/start of spring inspiring Welcome, Spring (Guardian) last week, 芒种/grain in ear inspired Falling Flowers Reflected on the River (CQL) and 霜降/frost descends inspired today's Still on My Heart (MDZS). They'll release another one on the 19th, which I'll probably draw inspiration from, and there are a few other nice ones to lean on should inspiration run low.
