2 million people aren’t wrong

[sorreleater]

honestly some of y’all want a significant other so badly and can’t understand why you can’t find one, but have no sense of boundaries or healthy expectations of what a relationship is like. in a committed long-term partnership you get left on read, you wait for texts back, and you can forget about each other when you’re busy. sometimes you fall asleep without saying goodnight and sometimes you’re too caught up to text each other before 6pm. that’s how it is. thinking that you can’t be deeply, beautifully in love and still wait more than “1.75 hours” for a text back is such an unhealthy and unreasonable expectation of what love is, and you shouldn’t be in a relationship if you can’t allow the other person to exist on their own apart from you. if you’re projecting your anxieties and insecurities onto a partner who doesn’t even exist yet, then you aren’t ready for one.

Shang Chi Review (and Mythical Creature Review)

Just saw Shang-Chi! Really impressed me! Went in with medium expectations, thinking it would just be another Marvel punch out, maybe with some added first generation immigrant/daddy-angst vibes, but it surprised me. Tony Leung as Wenwu genuinely moved me, and more than once. Perhaps my favorite Marvel villain of all time.

Also was it just me, or did anyone else think Katy and Xu Xialing kind of had vibes? “Sorry Shawn, I’m dating your crimelord(?) sister now, I don’t make the rules,” is a vibe I think Awkwafina could pull off beautifully. Her friendship with Shang-Chi was very wholesome too, I loved the intimate trust there. Wuxia is a great look for Marvel, some of the best fight scenes they’ve ever done, more reliant on choreography and skill of the actors and doubles than a raw CGIfest (although there’s plenty of that goodness too).

Speaking of which let’s talk magical creatures!

Impressively, basically all the creatures of Talo were drawn from real myths (except, I think, for the villainous ones which I will leave unnamed here for spoilers’ sake). Which is fine, since I think they were supposed to have a not-of-this-world vibe anyways.

Some of the most famous: the Qilin (”weird horse”), Fenghuang (”bird on fire”), and Hulijing (nine tailed fox) all make appearances in Talo, although none of them exactly pitch in much. Come on guys! The Dragon is pulling her weight! As does the Shishi lion dog!

Morris is the most obscure of the bunch, but even he’s real, a Dijiang! 

Thought to be a manifestation of the primordial chaos that existed before the universe known as Hundun, the lack of a face coupled with six legs and four wings is meant to indicate that chaotic lack of direction. Also supposedly they love to sing and dance! The Hundun is also known as the primordial egg from which the universe hatches, which helps explain Morris’s pleasing round shape.

Truly, a creature that has seen things no mortal could even begin to comprehend, Morris might just be one of the oldest beings in the MCU!

Anyways, great movie, really pleasantly surprised me.

Chinese mythological creatures

I’ve watched Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings yesterday, and I really enjoyed it.

I don’t quite want to spoil it, yet there’s a little bit of context to the film’s third act I wish to provide, using information that already exists and is easily accessible on the internet with a quick google search.

You see, many cultures have their mythological animals. Chinese culture is no different.

Dragons, in Chinese mythology, are revered creatures. Powerful, wise, benevolent, noble, very much unlike the monstrous depictions in Western stories. They are long, serpentine in nature, and mostly have four limbs with hawk-like claws. Some have many animal-like forms like turtles and fish, but the most common depiction is that of being snake-like with four legs. They symbolize the sovereignty of emperors, are seen as lucky and good. They are one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. They live at the bottom of seas, rivers, lakes, or anywhere with water.

This is what they typically look like:

Next up, we have the qilin. A qilin is a mythological hooved chimerical creature with one horn. It is said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a sage or an illustrious ruler.

They look something like a Chinese unicorn, if you will. Something like this:

The Phoenix, the myths of which go back 4000+ years, signifies the just rule of the Emperor. An auspicious creature, it is associated with the sun, south, justice, obedience, and loyalty. It is also a peaceful creature.

This is what they look like:

There is another mythological animal, the huli jing, the fox spirit. The nine-tailed fox, among the most famous of the huli jing, is a shapeshifter, and can either be benevolent or malevolent.

Their most famous incarnations often look like this:

And then there is the dijiang, the patron god of mountains in Chinese mythology. Described as a round chubby sack and having six legs, four wings, and no face, it causes chaos and confusion wherever it goes. But hey, it enjoys song and dance. In some Chinese myths, the dijiang is said to be one of the deities created from the the final breath of Pan Gu, the mythological Creator of the World.

This is what a dijiang looks like:

Lastly, there is another mythological hybrid creature called the pixiu. Resembling what is basically a lion with wings, they are considered to be powerful protectors. They have a voracious appetites for exclusively gold, silver, and jewels, thereby being regarded by the Chinese as a very auspicious creature that draws cai qi, wealth, from all directions.

This is what a pixiu looks like:

I promise you, these bits of preexisting information about Chinese mythological animals are pretty relevant to the film.

While I already knew about the dragon, the phoenix, and the qilin, it wasn’t until later that I discovered just what the nine-tailed fox spirit, the pixiu, and the dijiang were.

Well, it isn’t very often that I learn something new about my culture. 😅

NO GOD PLEASE DONT LET THIS BE THE POST THAT MAKES ME TUMBLR FAMOUS

[aunnokokyuu]

i love when love is compared to religion in media like… there’s something so breathtaking about the way an author writes how someone will turn their back on god for their lover. reject the highest entity in the world because they love someone so much they make them a god. give up an eternity in heaven to live a decade in sin or whatever. especially false religion like ‘i’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies’ ‘religion’s in your lips even if it’s a false god we’d still worship this love’ how even a fake religion is more worthy of worship and devotion because the god is their lover……..

May your next period be light and end quickly

[plantain-emoji]

This is literally now my favorite post ever, because its become thousands of reblogs consisting of passing on good fortune. Meanwhile many of y’all added your own comments saying your thanks, and continuing the chain by adding your own little bit of wishful thinking. You are all wonderful.
