oh wait, but that's kinda spoilers, so watch it after you finish Mulan?

Ooof. I don’t even have a problem about scaling walls nor the one about jumping high because that’s just part of Wuxia. 

But almost everything else, yeah. Oof.

Sigh. Basically yes, and more reasons why I didn’t really pay the Disney tax.

Also there's been like a fair amount of Chinese-based Mulan TV shows and films, and it's always been just oh hey, they know martial arts (wu gong), hence they definitely know qing gong. And the idea is the better you are, the better your qing gong is. Isn't that a better idea. Anyw, don't get me ranting on how qing gong is SO MUCH better than fucking chi.

I agree! It’s already right there in their faces, why they needed to have magical ‘Chi’ powers when qing gong is right there and it’s a skill. It also watered down Mulan as a character.

I feel the Chi was the only thing the writers could think to justify why they can run on walls. Would be better if they just went with the classic suspension of disbelief.

But it’s just plain wrong and also ffs it’s a movie, having a few running up walls things they can just chalk up to martial arts skill or as @anabsolutebrick​ mentions qing gong is Right. There. which is kind of like parkour. 

Also as the guardian review linked in this post, this is what Chi/Qi is: 

Perhaps most jarring is the decision made by the film’s four credited screenwriters to strip our heroine of any flaws, bestowing her instead with a mystical “force”. To do this they repurpose an element of Chinese culture known as Qi, which translates as “breath” or “air”. Philosophers describe it as a type of energy or living metabolism in all beings – though not a special, individual power. 

This is what happens when everyone in the production team is WHITE. US-Centric White People. Representation shouldn’t just stop at casting the actor but also hiring the people who can help people make the story culturally relevant.

There were also times when Guille called Val his little sister. Maybe it was just a term of endearment? I think Val is the youngest cause she’s the one who’s still in university.

Yeah, definitely what it seems like to me. 

@fuckyeahpikacha replied to your post: wait is guille the youngest? cause i thought Val…

I think when she says hermanito, she means little brother like a pet name rather than meaning younger brother

I guess we are all agreed then!

I like how in this post you're like "we need to get used to the slow pace of soaps" and in your other post you're all like "THIS IS ALL SO QUICK" lolol #callingyouout

Wow, Cha. Using my own words against me...cold.

🥺 do we need a designated safe place to meet in case of an emergency? like they used to teach us if there was a fire... know where you're going to meet up

WhatsApp group chat of mutuals? activate in case of emergency?

BlueSky?

Blogger/Blogspot? I actually think we could make blogger work if we needed to. you can follow blogs. remember old school twitter where you would just copy and paste and say RT? we could fucking do that guys, it could work

MUSIC SHUFFLE GAME

rules: shuffle your on repeat playlist and post the first 10 songs, then tag 10 friends to do the same

tagged by @jennamacaroni

I've had this screencap in my drafts since like feb 5th 😂 I, like an idiot, wanted to finish listening to the songs before I posted?? idk. they're good songs. you can tell which albums I was listening to—Rumors by Fleetwood Mac and Dancing with the Devil… the Art of Starting Over by Demi Lovato, and the wicked soundtrack. I like this more than I like my year end lists lol. and... Sweetheart by Jill Sobule, always. (spotify link) you gotta listen to the end tho lol

and Ballad of the Witches Road Sacred Chant Version? I mean, come on.

anyway 😂 welcome to my repeat, this was fun! thank's Jenna!!

oooo it's been a while since I've tagged people in nonsense!! who wants to play?? ANYONE who sees this, PLEASE consider yourself tagged if you want to play and tag me back when you post! but also 👀 can't resist tagging a few @gowalkyourself @fuckyeahpikacha @intextrovert @monochromeheartbeat @bat-poet @mad-cow-mama @skillzyo @aaajmachine @cripplemarchingbandblues @actuallyitsmisschanandlerbong @wisteriaonbarefeet @proudlyunicorn

edit to add: you don’t need to use spotify. you can get creative with whatever method you use for music, shuffle it, and share. or! you can go totally off book and just list off some recent favorites you’ve been listening to! (and you very much don’t need to screencap it. i think everyone else just kept hitting Next and they typed their list. this just seemed easier for me)
