So with the announcement of Takara-kun and Amagi-kun and both the leads of My love mix-up involvement on it, do you think Japan will enter the Thai real of BL with more than one couple in a series or do you think they will be showing up just as a cameo? Regardless I'm super excited about this one 😳
Tumblr media
I mean they have done movie series with the same couple like Takumi-kun. Weren't DaiMao the origin of the "pair combo naming" idea? Also I got very exciting when Izuka Kenta (Pornographer series) showed up as the “other man” in Absolute BL 2. Because it was all a crossover joke. So Japan isn’t above this tactic, especially if they can be tricky with it. 
Tumblr media
Will they pair brand like Thailand, I don't think so. That's not really Japan's style.
But then I would have said it wasn't Korea's either until Kim Ji Woong and Yoon Seo Bin come on the scene (Kissable Lips), rumored to be doing another BL together, and prone to appearing on insta and such using the old Thai co-branding tactics. Although, they don't have a co-name yet, do they? If they do... times really are a changing. And there was that time when TayKung and ShinWoo (Light on Me) showed up in some rando het drama. 
Right now it's Taiwan who has focused in on cameos to most.
But no one is going at any of this as hard as Thailand.
All that to say, while it might be fun, I don’t think Takara-kun and Amagi-kun and it’s guest appearance rumors heralds a trend. That said, I can’t wait to see it if it happens.

sometimes researching for avatar redesigns has you 6 layers deep into the Japan's Meiji era allies wiki
#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk#like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions#while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized#but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama#and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction#i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me#anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa#and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan#ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places#and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls#i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show#they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation#theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets#back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame#plus over done#it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan#but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions#also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island#from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference#and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading#and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references#cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on#i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand#i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix#god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china”#my brother in christ red is also important in japan#red is important in like many many asian cultures#i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches#like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan#but a lot of those comes from china in some way

some people are apparently convinced that Jos Verstappen is ""trying to destroy Red Bull"" and is behind the Horner-gate because it was first in the Dutch press and other things happening with Red Bull at the moment. I don't understand why he would try to do that or even want do that 🤷‍♀️

mana prefers sweet things; unfortunately, her stomach can't handle foods with lots of sugar ( ie. baked goods, cakes, etc. ) or rich foods...which is why her go-to is jello, as it's sweet but also mostly fruit juice. her favorite flavor would be coconut...and she will take any coconut candies off ur hands too if you are offering :)

Something unremittingly bleak about a goddamn country starting "crisis actor" conspiracy theories to deny their crimes. A term invented to deny the deaths of children at Sandy Hook in 2012 is now used to deny the deaths of children in Gaza in 2023.
As the community note says, this isn't a crisis actor. This is a guy who posts on Instagram. A influencer who posts videos online of breaking events...is seen at a lot of breaking events. To Israel, this is a sign of a conspiracy. In fact, some of those images aren't even him, or aren't even related to Palestine at all; one image included in other posts targeting Saleh Aljafarawi is a Halloween costume from Thailand. That article says "pro-Israeli accounts" tweeted this, but it's the literal, official Twitter account of Israel posting this shit, next to their comedy sketches that somehow make trans people the punchline bc fascists only have one joke the whole world wide I guess
Like. It's not new for a government to deny the reality of its atrocities. It is new for that government to outright use a conspiracy theory term devised by Alex fucking Jones, or to, when called on doing so, defend it as a "meme" (also bizarre to see hardcore Zionists use a term crafted for especially antisemitic conspiracy theories). Everything rancid about the world in 2023 congealed into a single tweet, right here
