Not a day goes by where I do not cry and hope I will also see My Chemical Romance in the flesh.

#cries in Asian #I mean I love all the content we're getting but sometimes I wonder if when will I experience the same exhilarating night #I am not going to cry. I am not going to cry. #MCR 2022

Y'all can mourn for Sand's baseball bat but I'm going to mourn for the loss of panicked Neo carrying his love interest in a bridal carry down a hallway.

This is not a replacement!

All the advertising I saw for Elemental:

Check out this wacky adventure between a fire person and a water person! A Tree Child Flirts with her! LOL! HEY LOOK CLOUD PEOPLE! *cartoon spring and honking noises*

Me: I don’t… want to watch that. Oh well, that’s fine.

Me actually watching it:

Oh wait, it’s a story of an immigrant family who come with nothing and build a community for themselves and their people and the weight of debt you feel to your parents who sacrificed for you to succeed but the way that that success sometimes isn’t what you want and how parental love can feel conditional when there’s a lack of clear communication and—

Me getting to the end: SHE BOWED AND HE BOWED BACK 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💦💧💦💧💦💧💦💧💦🌊🌊🌊🌊🚿🚿🚿

#elemental #elemental spoilers #listen fucking Disney being brought in to advertise and then take over Pixar was a FUCKING MISTAKE #but also the surprise was ok #It was layered #you had the racism #you have the prejudice #you have the rich kid but who’s family is in touch with their emotions #so he connects to people at an emotional level #you have the very ah Asian coded family who came with nothing but their blue fire and strong spirit #who build a place for themselves AND their community #you get the aging parents who want you to continue with their legacy #that heavy debt on their kid’s shoulders #but also get her missing the meaning of their love and effects on #just #I’m getting emotional thinking about it again #anyway #I made it through the movie and then cried at the bow #so Pixar wins another point for once again making me cry #it’s been a while but they get that one #oh also look at who directed it #this person does?? everything? voice acts animates and now directs? #what can’t they do? #also obviously no shame to anyone who does like whacky adventures with cartoon honking like those are totally fun and cool #I just wasn’t in the mood for that kind of thing at the moment

hidden agenda was made for the queer asian kids with emotionally distant parents: an essay

one of the reasons i watch asian bl is bc as an asian queer person, is rare to see stories like mine shown in media out here in the west. but shows like hidden agenda are the reason that i feel a little less alone in my experience.

in the last few episodes, we got to see zo’s need to make his mom proud. this need stemmed from her background in education but also with how disappointed she was when she found out he is gay. the scene in the car was such a, familiar experience for queer asian kids, who vow to never make their parent feel inadequate again. asian parents put so much pressure on their kids to “make them proud” but rarely ever say when they are.

but i really want to talk about joke. bc throughout this whole show, we hardly got to see joke’s story. he was always the solid rock that zo could count on to be there when he needed him. he gave zo advice when zo was questioning if his mom was proud of him. so for it to be revealed in the final episode, that he was struggling with the same need to “make his dad proud” was just.. so heartbreaking.

i took some screen caps to fully demonstrate how much i relate to the scene in part 3/4 where joke goes home to his family…

this. his dad hadn’t seen him in a while, and he had just mentioned the debate win. and he has to bring up how he is /finally/ not a disappointment. which has the undertone of “let’s see how long this lasts”. and this is something me and my brother have heard from our dad time and time again. even after all the things i’ve accomplished, it still feels.. temporary.

once again, his dad thinks he knows joke. but he clearly doesn’t. but to constantly be told that you’re “up to no good” is so.. tiring. it’s like being punished for smth that u didn’t even do.

and then the “L word”. love. asian parents have an especially difficult time saying they love their kids. maybe it’s a generational thing, maybe it’s bc they just don’t know how, but they usually show it in other ways. but the kid shouldn’t have to be okay with that. us kids just want to be told we are loved.

joke didn’t even give his dad a chance to think about what zo told him, because he’s used to being ignored. and this broke my heart. but i also saw myself. because i also know my dad is stubborn, and won’t change how he thinks.

but then, it’s when his own mom speaks up, he finally realizes what joke wants.

and then we have this admission. just like zo, all he wanted was to make his dad proud. (this is where i started crying like a little baby) asian kids live their whole lives for their parents. it’s how we are raised.

and then. his dad finally says the words that every asian kid wants to hear. (many of us go our whole lives never hearing them) — side note: joong’s performance here was crazy

#the hidden agenda was tee disguising this show as a cute uni show when it was really about queer asian kid trauma #hidden agenda #hidden agenda the series #hidden agenda series #i cried a lot #don’t ask how much #jokezo #give #joongdunk #their flowers #gmmtv #thai bl #thai bl series #bl series

Actually. One last thing. The copangda tf show also has. I feel like its FAIR TO SAY. A real. Slap some japanese aesthetics on these characters problem. [Two of them are from comics and. You know. American comics] and i wanna be able to say hey. This feels. Bad? The harsh samurai dude teacher gimmick. And. Hey maybe the woman looking like that. And her swords. AND being. [Child show] sex pested by the annoying dude. But like shes so cool and confident good humour rebuffing him. Is like. Also bad?

But also cause i dont know know where tf critical talk happened and u cant look it up cause all you get is movie stuff [for the dude. They did robot yellow face. Btw. In those movies] or comic fans who arent Misogynists fighting for their lives [cause. You know. 2013. Woman in comics] and its like yes. Okay. But i have this other concern?

#some shit #its not called cisformers #in my defense im in my bed now. just. phone. #copaganda show was. enjoyable. mostly. but i have. Several several grievances. #basially im wondering if someone gonna kill me for linking a wikipedia page on dragon lady trope or smth similar. #i was squinting at the note that like. wearing an asian headress is part of the trope. and the lady one being like. one of 3 tfs with a #'hairstyle' shaped helm. and its this specific pull. they name whag it is on her page. but like. why does she have a hair style at all.... #anyeay one of the other tfs with a hairstyle is THE ONE PESTING HER #and its Spikey gel tips. And hes voiced BY DAR.REN CRIS

I finally watched The Creator and holy shit why didn’t any of you tell me it was going to be that beautiful

#this movie was literally made for me #i’m a ml engineer #I research tech comms & censorship in asia and la #vietnamese language vietnamese people!!!! Thaii!! nepalese!! desi!!! #*cries* god i love being asian #Asians banding together to kill colonizing Americans ilysm #gareth edwards forever the movie maker of all time #we are going to gif the shit out of this #once I find out how to #the creator #this is the dream science fiction was made for #science fiction is not for taking from other cultures and putting white westerners in its place even when that's how it's been. #it's for telling a grave and distant future that is not so distant to deliberately expand your view of how the world works #INCLUDING outside the west and the united states #reclaiming the genre to the very culture that inspired it #And by not only showing the overpillaged overcolonized overpoached focus on southeast asia but also all of asia as a united front. #Imperialism is supported by xenophobia and racism so how else do you tell that story without casting nonwhite races & diverse nationalities #the movie said you just fucking can't! #and its apparently not even that hard with the film coming in at $80M to make (blue beetle cost $104M for comparison that's insane) #and to say 'American' so clearly and so many times oh is so *chefs kiss* #there's flaws but idgaf because they are insignificant compared to the story and themes that are so clearly and respectfully carried out #It's completely okay if you didn't know anything about southeast asia or asia in general #but when watching the movie don't you just understand that imperialism war violence are inherent evils #NOT because (a) other cultures are nice to look at and you can borrow it like through clothes dances food songs religion #(b) that we are pretty advanced and such intelligence shouldn't go to waste and perhaps be put to work #or (c) any other rationalized benefit for imperialists to put a price on a people or life #but by the simple fact that people are human and are hurting #and that the elusive concept of a soul and where we go when we die exist for everyone along with fears emotions and meaning surrounding it #it's about how we must protect these differences in meaning /because/ we are all the same

Parasocial relationship not in a "I know this actor best and I wanna date you" kinda way, but in an Asian Mom, "I hope you continue to stay employed/booked and busy" kinda way

#if there's anything that my asian mother instilled in me #it's the importance of keeping a job #so here we are #parasocial relationships #cries for myself in unemployment tho

A couple of my friends are getting into indie game making and in a future project they're naming a creature after me 🥺🥺

#personal #I made a joke about wanting to be immortalized via having my name spelled out on a plate of spaghetti #then mirza asked if I was smth from south; south-east or east-asian myth what would I be and I said manananggal no question #so they're gonna have one named after me cri
