Happy Lunar New Year or Chúc mừng năm mới! 🎆🎉🎊 Did you know that in Vietnam it's the year of the cat instead of the year of the rabbit? 🐈‍⬛🐰

In my webcomic, every main character is assigned to an animal and the animals of these two happen to be the rabbit and the cat! I also decided to make them vietnamese/mixed so it was fate to draw this :D

The clothes they are wearing are Áo dài btw, the traditional Vietnamese national garment! The laterns, peach blossoms and the kumquat fruits are very typical decorations for Tết (Vietamese Lunar New Years)!

Les origines du Nouvel An chinois fêté en occident depuis plusieurs décennies, le Nouvel An chinois est sans doute la fête la plus connue de l'Empire Céleste. À l'origine célébrée comme fête agricole, l'événement a beaucoup évolué depuis pour prendre sa forme actuelle de célébration du Nouvel An. À noter que la fête est aussi célébrée au Vietnam, sous le nom de fête du Têt

Unlike what the old folktale or Furuba would have you believe, there is a YEAR OF THE CAT, and we're in it.

You just have to be in Vietnam.

I'm lazy and didn't want to draw an áo dài from scratch, so you get this frankensteined monstrosity.

See some actually nicely drawn áo dài here--

Getting ready for Têt

(Vietnamese Lunar anew year) time to buy our peach blossom tree and kumquat tree. It’s Vietnams largest and most important Holiday. It’s like our New years, Christmas, thanksgiving, birthday, 4th of July and Easter all rolled into one 10 day long Holiday.It is very insulting to call Têt “Chinese new years”to Vietnamese. This is not Chinese new year. Kids get lucky money and family travel from all over to be together. It will be a very uncomfortable time of year for me. I will be in a rural village where many can’t read or write let alone know how ignorant they are towards the LGBTQ community. To save family face I must dress in a suite and pretend to be macho and masculine. I don’t speak the language, so I’m generally ignored due to the language barrier and forced to ignore a snake of a man the family is not related to by blood but claims to be Christian but does nothing but judge others and swindle people. It will take all my self control not to beat him to@a pulp if he tries to embarrass me as he always tries to do. Têt is a time to be happy and share with family yet every Têt he has judged me and told me I’m not Catholic because I don’t follow the cult he is in of false teachings. I pray for no issues, and hate having to visit an even more, ( but want will be happy to see family if they can behave themselves)ignorant place than I live. It’s like dealing with people from the Westboro church. I hate how terrible I’m treated by ignorant jealous

People here in Hanoi. The rest of the country no one cares. Calling any one LGBTQ mentslly Ill I’d technically illegal . It’s dissent against the government but some people are do dumb and stupid to realize they are breaking the law and make their country look Barbaric and uncivilized when they speak like that. Very few foreigners have returned to Vietnam compared to neighboring countries . People think most people in Hanoi are friendly because

They smile. But while they smile they insult you in Vietnamese’s the same time, it shocks them when they find out I understand what they just said. You could video record them saying it snd to save face they would still lie and say the camera made a mistake and they never said what was recorded. I really hate that about the culture of Hanoi. Thank goodness most of the youth are not so hateful but I get embarrassed at how babied adult kids are thstv will grow up to be helpless. At least mybdsughtersxarecstringvwomsn and girls and would never wine over such basic things. I’m so proud of them for that .
