Chapter 318
Is it disrespectful to compare a person to an animal?
It’s something I often think about seriously, and every time I arrive at the conclusion, it’s always “maybe yes, maybe no.”
If you compare someone to a pig, they’d obviously be offended. There’s a high chance they’ll think it’s because you’re calling them fat. Cows aren’t exactly a great comparison either.
When it comes to horses, they’re often compared to someone’s face, so that's out. And “dog” is similar. Just calling someone a dog generally «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» brings negative connotations. If you mean it affectionately, it's better to say “puppy,” or add “in terms of appearance” before the comparison.
Then, what about a hamster?
Hamsters are cute. Honestly, they’re adorable no matter what they do. Even if they bite your hand, their round little faces don’t change.
But... there’s also the vibe of them being greedy and eating a lot. Watching them stuff their cheeks and chew makes them seem a little foolish and greedy, even though it’s cute.
And right now, I couldn’t help but think of Mia as I looked at her.
How should I say it... She's a little greedy. Seeing her stuff her cheeks and chew made me think of a hamster.
But, come to think of it, I’m not sure if there are hamsters here. There could be, but maybe, just like other animals, these hamsters might use explosive magic or something.
Why explosive magic, you ask? Because that’s the vibe I get. When you see them stuff their cheeks with something, it looks like they might explode.
