**SPOILERS AHOY!***
Now that I've seen all of Douluo Continent, the natural progression must be... posting spoiler-y questions to dreamwidth? Writing something? Watching MDZSQ? I DON'T KNOW!
But it's Monday, and I'm here, so, questions first.
**********************
FOR REAL THIS TIME

Actually, to be fair, I'm not sure how much of a spoiler these are. Within the first two episodes the dad is like, 'hey, when soul beasts are 100,000 years old they can turn into humans, just dropping that knowledge out there in case it's relevant to your life, or the plot, you know how these things can happen.'
And I was like 'oh ho, so the mystery missing mom was a soul beast that turned into a human, gotcha.' (I am not cut out for complex political dramas. Basic fantasy foreshadowing is much more my speed.)
Here's the thing, though -- it wasn't until the final episode when my brain clicked to realize what that MEANT. Which is to say: Was Tang San's mom a plant? Because Xiao Wu's martial soul was a rabbit, and she was also a rabbit, and she got rabbit ears, and Tang San's mom's martial soul was a plant, so...((RIGHT?!?!))
Also within the first two episodes, there was the 'third person in however many years to have twin martial souls' comment. Which, my first reaction was of course 'who are the other two?' But after watching 40 episodes of people (usually adults) make sweeping declarative statements that turned out to be completely false (often immediately, which was hilarious), I am now more like 'uh huh, but how do you know that? did you ask everyone? because I don't think you asked everyone.'
I'm just saying, it didn't seem like Martial Soul Hall was really doing their due diligence in sussing these things out, and also there was no internet so it's not like information was really being shared that much? Apparently just moving to a remote village was a perfectly adequate way to disguise oneself, so I'm not totally convinced. (He didn't even change his name!)
QUESTION #3: That was an instagram joke, right? With the drawing a picture of the food and saying it was a new trend?
