#BECAUSE I AM CHINESE.

[symphonxx]

I joined a RTC roleplay server and this is all the art I made for them!! If you’re wondering why there’s so many Ocean art, that’s because I’m Ocean!

For context, I drew Monique unintentionally and I guess she turned out less messy?

Then the little Ocean drawings were based on my call with the ppl who played Karnak, Mischa, Noel and Ricky, where we decided to voice act as our characters ( 2016 script ) XD Noel and Mischa were gay.

The one with Karnak was based on a three person roleplay where Ocean, Mischa, Virgil and Karnak became friends.

Trans masc Mischa 🤝 Trans fem Ocean ( confirmed by us both ), who are also scared of heights .

A funny situation where said four are on a shopping trip.

FUCKING ANGST CREATED BY BOTH MISCHA AND KARNAK. I CRIED.

Lastly, we all played UNO on a call and fucking lost to Karnak ( I won once ) Karnak was being ominous and shi XD

I love them all though /aff

Karnak was super cool ( but horrifying in said game of Uno )

When people say “Let's go get milk tea." nowadays it generally refers to getting some sort of beverage. It is not just limited to milk tea, but it could also refers to fruit tea, fruit juice, milk shakes, yogurts or even coffee. The most popular drink is Mixue’s lemon tea or bubble tea because they are generally the cheapest. Bubble tea with boba are not as common nowadays because I think they are not trendy anymore.

In the cities and especially around shopping districts, there are beverage shops in every corner. Competition is high so instead of coming out with new drinks frequently, accessories such as delivery bags, cup sleeves, straw wrappings and toys are released to stimulate purchase. As a result, there grows collectors who collects those limited release.

A word of caution:

This is a consumerism trap.

Milk tea are not healthy. Sugar is added when they are making the tea concentrate so even “no-added sugar” option does not guarantee no additional sugar in your tea.

Milk tea are highly caffeinated, sometimes even more than coffee.

Attention Western LMK fans: This is a public service announcement

when someone says “immortal” in the context of Chinese mythology they do NOT mean “can’t die”. They mean “can live forever”

Think of a mortals lifespan as a candle and an immortals lifespan as an infinitely long candle. The immortal candle can burn forever but it someone blows it out it still goes out. Now some immortal candles are inside a building so they don’t get hit by wind or rain and others are on a patio protected only from rain. It’s different depending on how powerful they are and how many immortalities are stacked

Sun Wukong is an infinitely long trick birthday candle that can blow out in theory but no one’s been strong enough to test that theory

hope this helps clear things up

one really interesting thing about the Sui siblings is that their sibling age order isn’t so much about biological age but more about when they first managed to separate themselves from Sui and therefore how comfortable they are in their own individual identity (i’m far from the first person to point out that the Sui siblings are basically the opposite of the seaborne/We Many) - Shuo, the oldest brother is so secure in himself that he’s able to create a whole identity entirely separate from Sui, which is how we get Chongyue The Very Human Guy. Ling is able to defeat the Sui Xiang in invitation to wine with ease simply because she sees it as a shadow of herself, as opposed to Nian who sees the siblings as shadows and dreams of Sui. Dusk, the second youngest of the siblings, is so scared of the existential threat that is Sui that she has hid herself in her paintings and refused to sleep for centuries just to hide from it

… which makes me really want to meet the 12th brother (the cook) because if that is where Dusk, the 11th’s head is at i cannot imagine he’s having a good time either

okay so.

i have seen a pattern lately and i am not gonna let it slide. i know that fancasts in general are a way bigger debate than they should be in this fandom, and i’ve loved the spike in diversity between them thats come up recently! i genuinely don’t care about fancasts or have any real faces in mind when i picture these characters, but if you like to, good on you.

here is where i have been very frustrated lately: some of y’all seem to really struggle understand that asian ethnicities are not interchangeable. its become a really popular (and very lovely!) hc to picture sirius and regulus as asian. i love to see it! but i have seen people throw together a korean and a vietnamese person and go: “ta-da! sirius and regulus!” i have seen them defend their choices to asian people by saying some variation of “it doesn’t matter” “they look similar enough” or even just straight-up “well, they’re both asian” and like. it makes my fucking blood boil.

it’s one thing if it’s an honest mistake. it is entirely another if an asian person calls you on it and you decide that it truly doesn’t matter to you.

i could get into the harm that the cross-race effect has, but really i just need to say that perpetuating the idea that all asians look the same is inherently problematic. if you are the kind of person to declare that you see no difference or that there is no difference between different asian ethnicities: you are promoting a long-standing racist ideology and i’m sick and fucking tired of seeing it.

i (again) genuinely do not care about fancasts. picture whenever you’d like as whomever you’d like! but the moment that you cross the line into “whatever they’re both close enough”, that is where i will take issue with it. if that’s an idea that you carry with you outside of fandom spaces: THAT is what the problem is.

japanese people, vietnamese people, chinese, korean, philippine, desi, north south east west fucking ALL OF US have deep and rich cultural backgrounds and distinct features that differentiate us and make us all beautifully unique.

it matters to people. it matters in characters. in the media. in life in general. don’t fucking erase that because you can’t differentiate. do not knowingly and willingly erase us.

either take the time to learn and recognize that or stay in your fucking lane.

Hello! I'm one of the many chinese-heritage anons you inspired to learn (more) chinese like 2-3 years ago. Just wanted to say I'm still chugging away at it and I come here periodically to renew my motivation. I can now, with a great deal of struggle and dictionary use, read novels meant for the 8-year old audience. This is vast progress from where I started (goodnight moon-level)! I'll make it to p大 one of these years.

Thanks for the continued inspiration!

anon!!! that IS a huge jump, considering that it's only been a few years!! I think this means that you're perfectly positioned to watch one of the best donghua ever made, the 1998 《西游记》 of my childhood??

haha that's neither here nor there — I am glad that my blog is a place you stop by on occasion still! considering that it is. well. all over the place. as I tend to be. please feel free to say hello and share any findings!

and as someone who has (nominally) made it to p大, let me just say that the dictionary use never ends... I had to read the first dozen chapters of 《残次品》 with my ereader in one hand and pleco clutched firmly in the other

was telling a friend about the double today and got to the part where jiang li stops xue fangfei from killing herself by saying she has to live because she can't get revenge if she's dead. and my friend was like wait what french novel does this remind me of? and i was like babe. it reminds you of the count of monte cristo. the double is better though.

I can’t believe I have to say this again.

But like.

Do not leave comments that bash on the actual show whilst ‘complimenting’ my fanworks. It does not make me happy at all IN FACT I really HATE it when people do that. 

I create stuff for this fandom because I adore the show with all its flaws and everything. I grew up with the show and I adore the characters so much. So when I receive comments or tags saying stuff like “Ugh if only the writers knew how to write like that” or “You should be in charge of canon cos canon is shit lol”, it just fucks up my mood and it makes me feel grossed out. 

There are millions of things out there to write or say to other people about their work without having to bring down canon and what the actual professionals have worked on.

Keep your gripes about the show off my work.

Oh, let me tell you, I am cooking ALL KINDS of GO2 meta right now but just a simple thought because a bitch is British, it's 1am, everyone's already said so much good shit and I cannot break my own soul any further today:

Aziraphale can speak every language on Earth except the language of love.

Nightbringer's Beast

Forcing myself to draw even though I feel terrible,, I had fun with this though!

Total time: roughly 5 hours

I used one layer basically the entire time, painting on one layer is a good way to get out of a bad headspace
