Not sure of title

(If anyone cares, my browser had the display bug after I checked Giggly aka Madison's account and investigated a Tiktok account that she had mentioned via a retweet)

I was thinking of naming this post Zelda, but that made me think of Robin Williams's daughter with that name. (I recently saw an image somewhere in which Robin Williams had been made to look like Link, and maybe Zelda looked like his daughter with that name but I don't really know what she looks like, so there is a non-trivial cultural awareness of her name.)

The song P. Tchaikovsky - Pas de Deux ('The Nutcracker'), used in a montage of scenes from the Zelda franchise.

I have almost certainly never watched the entire Nutcracker sequence, as a film or otherwise. Simply put, it lacks an engaging story, and I believe the prince is killed when fighting the mice near the start, before being revived or something. My youngest sister's favorite movie is probably Amadeus, and in contrast to The Nutcracker I have seen the film Amadeus more than once.

I did learn the Russian Dance Trepak from the Nutcracker on piano once, and maybe another song from it, but most songs from it, including Pas de Deux, never particularly interested me.

I don't like to say this, but it is conceivable that someone who cares about me could have the logic, "it is good if more people care about me, the person writing on this weblog. If other people don't share this idea, then I (the person writing this) will contact more people, and some of them might be female, and some of the ones who are female might end up being attracted to me (the person writing this)." So if Giggly aka Madison does not like me, it shows that people causing delays is not helpful for me.

So about a Chirp Club post I won't bother to link; a quote of a post about the word 'parasocial', which got an order of magnitude more engagement than the original post itself and is apparently responsible for 80% of the original post's views by embedding it.

"A connection that someone feels between themselves and someone they do not know."

Interestingly, Wiktionary's definition,

"One-sided (especially of a relationship, as for example that between a celebrity and their audience or fans, whom they do not know)"

is saying that the celebrity has the parasocial relationship, rather than that the fans have the parasocial relationship.

Chinese version of Three Body, maybe the first episode. The detective asks the scientist if the female scientist whose casual photo he took was someone he knew, and then the detective corrects his question to state, "someone you did not know, but someone you wanted to know."

They did not know each other, but both knew the other existed. When the photo that started the story was taken, the female scientist saw that it was taken and who had taken it.

To state the obvious, it showed that the male scientist thought the female scientist was comfortable with having her picture taken, as she was an important person who received a lot of attention. Sometimes people are not comfortable with having their picture taken and they verbally object, or they ask to have the photo deleted (抖音街拍穿搭 _ Mejores Street Fashion China TikTok _ Tiktok China Thời Trang Đường Phố Ep.19 [JhrtW0iFKLs] at 2:47, +unrelated), but this did not happen.
