Why didn't they make the new Indiana Jones movie be about Indy handing over the reins to a now adult Short Round instead?

I would 10000% watch a "Adult Short Round navigating both looking for artifacts in ancient ruins and ALSO navigating racism and prejudice from American museum owners and such while still being the tiny bastard fuck personality he had in Temple of Doom"

Get Ke Huy Quan in here! It could have been SO interesting and with many smaller themes and concepts in there! The first and 2nd Indiana Jones was already about Indy punching nazis! Have there be some or other through line about stuffy Museum owners in the 1950s have to deal with a Chinese man who is better at relic hunting than ANY of them have ever been and who also used to be Indiana Jones' getaway driver when he was 8. A mix of hyper intelligent, refined but also bastard-man energy!

THE STORY ALMOST WRITES ITSELF!

And don't do the whole "This is the Han Solo Movie" where it just exists to shoutout callbacks to the original Star Wars Trilogy. Actually ENGAGE with a story about a well educated through practice not schooling man be one of a dying breed of relic hunters who truly cares about history and the preservation of ancient cultures! Bring in that Post WW2 tension and bizarre global mental state!

Why didn't they just give us a Short Round movie and actually put effort into it????

i'm currently thinking about how, for so long, you couldn't be an asian on the screen unless you were a side character that was pretty much built on stereotypes. and there are standout asian actors, but i'm a teenager so legends who made a name for themselves are kinda before my time. but both michelle yeoh and ke huy quan are the embodiment of not giving up on your dreams. even if it takes a while, you're time will come, and in a way that honors yourself. every time i see another post or edit of their oscar wins, i tear up.

i didn't grow up watching asians on tv. my only likeness as a child used to be mulan, but people at school used to tell me i couldn't just pick her as my favorite disney movie because she's asian (which, kids are dumb and that reasoning is stupid and besides the fact the she was the only representation kid-me had, mulan had a great storyline and message and characters and soundtrack and it was and still is a really great movie). i remember seeing characters like mike chang from glee on tv, but he was a character always pushed to the side, and those shows always had a way of just mocking and reaffirming stereotypes.

i think about how sometimes the only space for asian women was so that they could be sexualized, or how there was even less room for asian men on the screen unless they fit a certain look. how asians had to become an image to get their space.

and in recent years, the representation for asians has increased, and i'm so thankful. i wish i had that when i was younger, but i'm glad to have it now. with movies like shang chi or crazy rich asians, we get to see how respecting and celebrating culture is significant, but it's also not an asian's entire identity. how we are still people with stories that deserve to have main characters.

i'm so happy that eeaao gave michelle yeoh and ke huy quan their space. how this door opened for them and asians to be seen and respected. how they inspire people to dream big. how it feels possible for big dreams to really and truly happen.

when i was a little girl, i was obsessed with superheroes, which led me to my obsession with the tv show agents of shield. and i adored melinda may, played by ming na wen, who was a bad*ss character. and her character revolved not around her culture (although culture was not ignored) but how even without it she is still a character with a complex history and development and personality.

it's nice to be living and experiencing an era where asians are getting their recognition. representation is so important because it reaches so many people and lets them know that somewhere out there, achieving the dream, even for someone who looks like us, is within our reach.

we finally get to exist in the mainstream. and for that, my inner child is so grateful.

I AM ASKING U ABOUT THE SYMBOLISM IN THE JENNY PATCHES

I am SO glad you asked :D please allow me to ramble for. way too long probably. (original post this is in reference to)

Let's start with Thief because that's the one that I nailed down the design for first. In this design: an hourglass almost out of time, a ring of three keys - a house key, a car key, and a skeleton key - and a compass keychain.

Jenny the Thief is the one who held the gate as long as she could before vanishing into the night, the one who traded in her old car for a custom Kawasaki to leave behind a no-longer-safe house (ring of keys). Thief is the one who didn't know her time was up until it had gone, the one who had to live through everything ending to understand how it happened (hourglass). When she left, it wasn't towards anywhere particular, just away from here, pick a direction and run (compass). Additional note for the skeleton key specifically: that one is mostly for me, because I wear a key like that on a necklace and I thought it fit nicely, but also it's for places and stories we can only guess at, events locked outside the scope of the narrative.

I had a lot more trouble nailing down the design for Warrior - it went through a few iterations. The original one had a sword and a pen: battles to fight and stories to tell. I talked with my friend Sunny @paladinboyfriend for a little while about it, bouncing around ideas; ey said something about Jenny being a bastion of hope glowing like a lighthouse, but burning too bright and consuming herself in the process, and I decided to go with a lighter as a modern analogue to that.

To me, Jenny the Warrior is the kind of person that everybody knows someone like - a couple years older than you and leagues more confident, a steadfast support who's always ready for anything and has just the tool for whatever problem arises ("also jenny is butch, so there's that" - Sunny). She's not an ancient hero, she's here and now, a warrior with a motorcycle and a leather jacket and a house where you can crash for as long as you need. So she gets a pocketknife instead of a sword and a lighter instead of a torch, tools for someone who protects and guides. A pen for countless unknown stories lived and told, for lines drawn and lines held for as long as she could. I added a carabiner attached to the knife (which, yes I know you wouldn't do that irl, it's about the design) because I felt like it filled out the design a little bit, and also, again, in my heart jenny is butch, and it felt like a nice little nod to that.

For both designs, I used the same flat color palette of gold, off-white, and a dark warm gray, since those are the general colors of the album color. I also used a thick and slightly textured brush for the lineart, because I like the slightly more flawed and organic feel it gave the pieces.

I think that's pretty much it, but I can probably come up with more to say about specific aspects of the designs if there's anything else you're curious about! thank you so much for asking and enabling my rambling about this set of drawings :D

My toxic trait really and truly is that I can’t for the life of me except blonde percy. Like taking an originally blonde character and making them Not Blonde? Prefect mwah continue please. The opposite? Dear god get it away

#for legal reasons this is a joke #I know why they didn’t dye Percy’s hair #but this will ALWAYS be a sticking point for me especially with percy #purely cause I was twelve with the understanding that he was a white boy but the fact that he had black hair #made me daydream of a world where he could be asian #like I’ll watch it but I don’t think I’ll be able to get into it as much #like I see gifsets of the new trailer and I’m just like :D until I see blonde percy and I go :| #but then I see Leah as annabeth and I go :D #which I get is 100% my problem #not taking a moral stance here just making a silly text post destined for two notes max #aa babbles #kes fears the blonde

HELP, I decided to watch "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once." Because I heard it was like Multiverse of Madness but better and now I'm fucking crying 🥴😭😭💔

Sat through two and a half hours watching my own cultural/generational trauma 🥹

Don't get me wrong, I LOVED IT 😍 It had a perfect balance of stupid, chaotic humour with thought provoking metaphors. Since no character was truly a villain because there is no villain nor hero. I loved that whatever life path Evelyn chose she could still utilise a skill from it (i.e. sign spinning).

However, I didn't know I was walking into a therapy session 🫠😶‍🌫️😖

if you told child-me that asians were in big, oscar-winning movies, and that they were the main characters, and they weren't ridiculed or sexualized or looked down on, i would be... well, a little confused because it sucks that this has to be a big deal in the first place, but overall really, really excited. my parents had jackie chan and the joy luck club, while i really only had mulan. but now we all have eeaao. aside from the deeper meanings and immigrant story we relate to, it was simply very cool for my parents to go, "is that the little boy from indiana jones? OMG THAT'S THE LITTLE ASIAN BOY FROM INDIANA JONES!"

it's great to have things come full circle :)
