I read "human life is irreplaceable" as "human life is replaceable" first and went, wow, who is using that one -- evil generals in dramas?

It made much more sense on reread
:)

[nnozomi]

oops, yeah, that would make a difference ;)

[scytale]

Please find me a chengyu that means basically that, so I know what the evil generals are saying. :)

[nnozomi]

I'll do my best! It feels like there should be one :)

[scytale]

If you are ever bored and want a challenge, I would like to request themed chengyu. :) Evil General chengyu! Chengyu featuring landscapes! Things a cat would say. :)

[nnozomi]

I will try! Once I finish going through the Guardian script we'll have like 500 to choose from, after all, and that's still just a drop in the bucket...
