it's tag game tuesday wednesday THURSDAY. fandom edition, baby! thank you to our beloved @celestialmickey for kicking it off and for tagging me, and also to @energievie & @tanktopgallavich !! 💛💛

your name: jessie

your age: 33

your first fandom(s): i usually say supernatural, but fuck it, i think it was spartacus. i may have engaged with it in a very different way, but i was hyperfixated as hell. i went to my first and only fan conventions. by myself! i never want to go to fan conventions! so yeah. spartacus.

your current fandom(s): shameless, and to a lesser degree these days, supernatural

how did you first get into fandom? hyperfixated on a show, stumbled upon the fandom side of tumblr, did not make a tumblr but lurked a little bit, decided fic was cringey and that i didn't like reading it (it was a v small fandom with not a lot of quality content), hyperfixated on another show and decided to try reading fic again, had my entire world rocked to its core, made a blog, been around ever since.

how long have you been engaging with fandom spaces? like nine years?

how often do you read fanfics? i'd say every day, usually when i'm in bed.

top 3 characters from your current fandom(s): mickey milkovich, dean winchester, castiel.

have you ever written a fic for a fandom? if so, shout it out! i sure have!

have you ever drawn fanart for a fandom? if so, drop a link! nope!

share a personal headcanon that you feel very strongly about: mickey was thinking about yevgeny when he and ian had the parenthood conversation in 11x12.

you’re trying to convince a friend to get into your current fandom(s) with you. what episode, clip, or scene are you showing them? okay so i actually did this with one of my closest irl friends and she got...possibly more into supernatural than i am, and she reads destiel fic, and has had intense gallavich fic phases as well. and it was actually super easy lol. she just has the same kind of brain that i have, and i just had to tell her to watch the shows because i knew they'd fuck her up the same way they fucked me up. she saw my reaction after november 5th 2020 and wanted to know everything, so i told her everything, and she started watching spn the next day. i watched shameless a couple months later and lost my entire mind, and all i had to do was tell her that she NEEDED to watch it, and she started watching it right away. i think if i had to show her a specific scene though, it probably would've been mickey coming out in 4x11. iconic, legendary. she would've eaten that up even with no context. also special shoutout to this friend, because she's the person who taught me to not be embarrassed about being interested in fic, or fandom in general. i always thought she was so brave for being open about her hyperfixations in her everyday life, like for real lol. i still struggle with it, but i've gotten more open about it because of her.

and finally, what does fandom mean to you? a community of some of my best friends, and the place where i learned that i can actually be a creative person. i'm doing all kinds of fulfilling things with my life because of this space 🥹

tagging @howlinchickhowl @whatwouldmickeydo @gardenerian @gallawitchxx @heymrspatel @whatthebodygraspsnot @you-are-so-much-better-than-that @iansfreckles @squidyyy23 @auds-and-evens @mishervellous @7x10mickey @lalazeewrites and anyone else who wants to play 🖤🖤🖤

Love your game! Here’s Gabe and Naomi with pretty much the same numbers: 1,3, 4,5, 7,8,13.

1. When I think they became friends (if canon already hasn't showed how they became friends)

Despite what I've once written, when it comes to canon I really think they only met each other through Elena and their friendship happened gradually, though quite quickly, and you can see that they were already friendly with each other by Spellbound and I think they become real friends Blockheads.

3. A random headcanon I have of them

Once they became closer friends, they actually found out they have a lot in common and started to do stuff together outside of their jobs. In their case it's less about casual hanging out, but more about some projects of helping each other, like Gabe helping out at the port or that float they were doing with Marlena and Doña Paloma.

4. My favorite thing about them

How comfortable they are with each other (I'd say with Naomi it happens the fastest for Gabe) and from that comes their fantastic dynamic, how well they work together, their humour...

5. A scene I wish we had of them

I'd have to rewatch some episodes because we probably already had something like that, but picture this - Gabe (pre magic lessons) and Naomi taking on some magical foes and winning, by sheer power of teamwork, skill and strategy.

7. What makes me like their friendship

I'd say the same thing that is my favourite thing about them XD And since I'm a Gabe stan first and a person second, also the fact that we finally see Gabe being friendly with someone from the beginning (I'd say for Gabe theirs is the most "normal" friendship out of the Amigos). Also the fact that we get a lot of content for it in canon definitely helps, but it's not like non-canonicness of a dynamic has ever stopped me, but it helps, I can watch the show and just enjoy them, and not have to rely on the made up scenarios projecting on a 5zł projector in my brain.

8. Who I think is the ”crazier” one

Naomi, absolutely XD Though I don't know, neither of them seem very crazy to me, but I'd say that Naomi is more "daring" if anything.

13. What I think would have happened if they never met

Hmm okay now I'm stumped because in a way, nothing would change I think? I think they'd both be worse in some an ways and it'd take them longer to become a team (or well, maybe there even wouldn't be a team at all) but I lack any direct ways they influenced each other, like, I know there must be some, but I can't really see any now... If you or anyone have any thoughts about this please share them, I just know there has to be more to it...

And that would be it, thank you! I've now came to the conclusion that despite Gabe and Naomi having quite a lot of canon interactions, I don't really have a good grasp on them, I'll have to work on that...

This is going to be my first ever Tumblr post, but I just wanted to express how important the show Amphibia is to me as a Thai-American. I actually haven't seen many posts like this, so I thought I'd make my own.

If you've ever watched the show, you probably know that this character is Anne Boonchuy, and she's Thai. Like, actually Thai—not Japanese, Korean, or Chinese. Thai.

Again, I'm Thai-American, but my experience is a little different because I grew up in Japan—up until now (and for reference, I'm turning 17 tomorrow) I've spent at least 14 years of my life moving around U.S. naval bases in the area. As such, there was never a real shortage of Asian representation in my life; I was completely surrounded by it. But, because I was in Japan, it was almost always Japanese, and I'm not even talking about Japanese exposure in western media—just full on authentic Japanese content, and it was just really weird for me. I was Asian in an Asian country—so I belonged, right?—but the culture was different from the culture my mom taught. It was similar, so I felt at home, but it didn't exactly feel right, you know?

And even when I left Japan, I couldn't escape that feeling. I grew up really jealous of my Japanese friends that got to grow up where they belonged, speaking their own language and experiencing their own culture, and even my Filipino friends always had a million other Filipinos to share their heritage with; I was almost always the only Thai person around.

But when I moved to America for the first time, I thought it wouldn't matter anymore; I would be just like every other Anything-American, living in a place that was home but not really theirs. But as soon as I introduced myself and the other kids at my new school asked me where I was from, that was all I ever amounted to—the Japanese girl who wasn't even Japanese. They'd talk for ages about anime and ask me to teach them the language and tell them about everything that had to do with life in Japan, but as soon as I'd correct myself and say I was actually Thai and I didn't watch anime or know any Japanese, they'd completely deflate. Sure, they'd say a quick "oh, I love Thai food!" and it certainly wasn't their fault, but who I was didn't feel as meaningful anymore now that they didn't think I was Japanese.

And don't get me wrong, I loved living in Japan, and I enjoy talking about my experience there, but the thing is—no one in America actually cares about you or your Asian heritage if you're not Japanese (and, due to recent developments, Korean—thanks, k-pop). Being Thai didn't mean anything in America.

But I don't mean to override this post with my life story. The point is: I've always been exposed to Japanese culture, and while in Japan, I didn't really see much of western media until I actually moved onto the base (I usually lived off base) when I was around 8 or 9, except for the summers I spent at my paternal grandma's house in America—which is where I saw myself on the TV for the first time.

I remember it distinctly. I was sitting on the couch, eating breakfast, watching shows come and go on Disney Channel. My parents were still asleep, still jetlagged from the flight. Eventually, Suite Life on Deck comes on—and I was only partly familiar with the show, but I knew the characters from Suite Life—and, guys... they were in Thailand.

Until that point, I never knew that London Tipton, or Brenda Song, was Thai. No one in America was ever Thai—even then, as an 8 year old girl, I knew that as irrefutable fact—so how could I have known? But you don't know how excited, how happy, I was to have been proven wrong. And I found out in the TV show that London was just like me. Literally! The episode, Family Thais, took place on London's grandma's farm—and guys, my grandma has a farm! We were both mixed kids with American dads and a Thai mother and whose family had a farm. I grew up spending summers in Thailand, visiting Bangkok and Pattaya and our farm in Chaiyaphum—I have videos of me, as a baby, playing around in the farmhouse that my parents were building from the ground up at the time; Thailand, and our farm, was my childhood. And for the first time ever, outside of Thailand, outside of my family, I felt like my heritage was important—because of London. And I talked about it to everyone for ages.

Fast forward to now, I find out that Brenda Song, who played a pivotal Thai character in my childhood, is playing another Thai character for Disney. This is so important. I know it wasn't intentional, and I know that neither Brenda or the creator of Amphibia knew that they were both Thai at the start, but this is so important. I can't even articulate how important it is to me that Brenda Song, who was the first person to ever make me feel like being Thai was meaningful, can do that for kids much younger than I am, just like she did for me.

And guys, I'm like Anne too. We both have parents that work at a Thai restaurant. In her case, her parents actually own the restaurant, and in mine, my mom is a beloved and dedicated worker at this place called Thai Express. Outside of London and Anne, I've never seen myself on the screen like this, culture and all. And you don't know how happy I was to hear "larb" pronounced right. That whole "I larb you" scene in Spider-Man: Homecoming? Not their fault, but it bothered me a lot. But Brenda Song and Matt Braly? They are both doing everything right and I love and appreciate them both so, so much, and if they ever see this, I hope they know how grateful I am for them and their incredible work.

#amphibia #disney #thai #brenda song #matt braly #anne boonchuy #cartoon #asian representation #also im so sorry if im inarticulate #im not the best writer and i know i go off tangent but #this show is so important to me #brenda song is so important to me #thank you for reading this mess agsjsj
