They may be my favorite trad-modern fusion band since Jambinai!
This was the one I was specifically talking about. They’re singing about how politicians don’t keep their words, Mongols discriminating based on bloodline or province and the old ways of life being lost @lj-writes
Oh, SW nerds use it as a shorthand for “sequel trilogy,” as in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi (bleh), and the upcoming Episode IX. Your brain is suggesting some awesome crossover possibilities, though!

Yeahhh, I’ve been hearing CRA isn’t all that, too. A group of Asian-American women journalists went to see it together and were disgusted at how misogynistic it was. I also read it erased the non-Chinese (Malaysian and other SE Asian) population of Singapore. Its story beats are familiar to anyone who’s watched KDramas or soaps and I fucking hate KDramas so I’d probably hate it lol
Sorry to hijack your post, but there’s actually a fantastic art print like that GIF & you best 100% believe that my petty ass bought it 😂 The artist is Brett Bennett & his Instagram handle is @brettsartworld 😁
Nope, Koreans don’t name kids after real people. Fictional namesakes have been known to happen but I’m not named after anyone I know of, real or fictional. My parents chose my name based on its meaning.
2. When was the last time you cried?
Sometime last week while reading the end of The Stone Sky by N. K. Jemisin. I was a sobbing mess, man. (PLEASE EVERYONE READ THE BROKEN EARTH TRILOGY IT’S SO GOOD)
3. Do you have kids?
I am the mother of a two-year-old dental floss enthusiast. Why dental floss? Idk but he’s decided it’s the greatest thing ever.
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Yeah, when I’m annoyed. I should watch that with the kid, huh.
5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?
Whether they’re trustworthy, like would I want to spend time with them, do they seem compassionate and so on.
6. What’s your eye colour?
Dark brown, almost black. My hair and eyes are on the dark side, and it’s a point of pride. I’ve been told I would look better if I dyed my hair because hair this uniformly black isn’t considered fashionable, but I never have. I think it gives me a striking look!

Not currently. My family had dogs when I was growig up, but I’ve developed an allergy since and am even more severely allergic to cats
12. What sports do you play/have you played?
I played soccer as a teenager, once got an ankle injury when I was tackled by two girls bigger than me.
For those who are curious, this art is based on a video by Moth called The Source of the Rings, Gandalf, and Potential Inspirations (link) which argues Gandalf could be Chinese.
