the "when the anime has lore" post has reminded me of this colin trevorrow moment that i don't think anyone is more obsessed with than me, in which he pretends he independently invented the hero's cycle in the context of Book of Henry, and then calls himself a "story nerd"
![A screenshot from Xiaohongshu, written in Chinese and then translated to English. In English it reads: "Luigi [Magnione]'s image embodies the spirit of the scholar-officials in traditional Chinese culture. He establishes a heart for the universe, a destiny for the people, continues the lost teachings of the sages, and opens peace for all ages. To say I like him seems superficial; it is more of admiration. With his profound scholarship and distinguished family background, he is truly a pure member of the scholar-official class."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xv7kxtpqlizeeg4wr56jw7st/bafkreifffsbchyfzhaty45j4ylc57xxgee53o6ijso6klwixgselaozp3u)
