Happy birthday to my best friend and favourite pookie! @theeiya
I’m so so grateful I get to have such a wonderful friend like you! Thanks for always supporting me and my craft! You’re the best and keep shining bright! Word cannot describe what an amazing person you are! Wish you many more happy years ahead! Amen!🙏
Dang this piece took way longer than I expected, hope you like it bestie!
Bingyi and Ying Long are so king x knight coded in my eyes. Like what do you mean you gave up your BONES to forge a sword that will protect him for the rest of his life. What do you mean you want him And trust only him. To wield you in his hand. That you have such absolute faith that he will bring the world back from the brink of pure chaos so you give yourself willingly. You make yourself his weapon to make sure his enemies can't harm him. And then keep protecting his legacy for generations.
How are people not insane about these two. The devotion of making yourself an extension of someone's arm... The underlying desire to be one with him. One flesh and bones.
Do you ever think about how Cloud Light is activated by tears. And how much it must've cut up Bingyi to use it. Knowing it was the last part of his lover that he could keep close. Knowing that Ying Long singlehandedly rebuilt the sky with his gift of creation, but the world only remembers him as the monster that tore it down and betrayed his best friend. Like a weapon is all that Ying Long could be. And a weapon is all that remains of him
First and foremost, rest in power to those who have to give up their lives to brutality of security forces. (At least 3 fatality) To those who are on the brink of live and dead and injured people, please know that our prayers are with you!
In international women's day, we should be celebrating this day instead we still have to grief again. As for today, we use Htamein (longyi, sarong) to protest against the dictatorship in many cities.
During last month and this, we see heroic women leading, participating and supporting the protests. Most of all, sacrificing their lives for us! Women have been on the front line, we had been brutally hit, unlawfully arrested, cruelly treated and drag out by the security forces but we have never back down. We never once said to the sons and daughters to not go to the protests. We never think twice to sacrifice to save others. We never surrender. We risk our all to fight against injustice. We never hesitate to give away our foods to the protesters. We are the first ones to participate in CDM. We are the ones leading the protests. We are the ones who are open to ideas and suggestions. We are fighting for equality for all and our democracy at the same time. We raised our three fingers when the protests pass-by. We never look away from injustice. As long as we live, the world will be a better place, kinder place, fairer place. We hold the power as much as the man. We are half of our population.
I want to not only honor the women who would be the role models of next generations but also the men who show solidarity and stand together to fight for humanity.
Today we use Htamein (longyi, salong) as our flag, our symbol for equality, to crash the patriarchy, to destroy the taboos! We are stronger together! We are not to be left behind! We are half the population! We play our roles!
I called out to those who believe women are less worthy, less spiritual power (bhone) than men - Shame on you!
No matter the genders, colors and beliefs, We Are Homo Sapiens! Equality for all is everyone's right!
Our Htamein ⚡ Our Flag ⚡ Our Victory
To the men who wear Htamein on their head, to show the people we are equal and Longyi did not make you less bhone (spiritual power) than those of women's. Thank you for showing your solidarity and humanity! Thank you for joining hands in fighting the long rooted patriarchy in our country!
Women and men wearing Htamein (longyi) on their head and body to show solidarity to equality for all!
