[x][SCS] There is no peace in emptiness, no content in stillness. Stagnation is death; act, change, move, think, and grow until the very end.
[x][TRF] Branches and trunks bend and sway, but the roots must remain unyielding. Retreat only so far and then no more.
[x][CDE] Do not slot Curious Diviners Eye

Aspen tree insight combo!

I refuse to limit where Ling Qi can find peace and contentment.

I'm conflicted, but I think that:

I don't really feel that CDE adds all that much to Ling Qi that I want. Contrast that to the 1st SCS insight which plays well into the journey motif that FVM started and TRF which seems to play well with the endings cycle that we got from FSS.

Huo Yuhao said:
On the other hand, further emphasizing these aspects of Ling Qi's domain might make Ling Qi turn a blind eye to the negative consequences of pain and struggle, both within herself and within her Home, due to excessively subscribing to the philosophy of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

There is another insight available that develops Ling Qi's domain in a new direction while still being relevant to Ling Qi's character and the current themes of her domain.

I was already leaning towards TRF2, but you definitely convinced me whole hog.

There is peace in music, art, and craft. That's enough.

Ling Qi is already so much both of the SCS Insights that being forced to pick is amusing as all hell. I'd much rather it be slotted than not.

Not sure about TRF.

Don't particularly care about CDE here, as expected.
