Occasional Asian: The Wonton Diaries

What kind of Asian am I? My grandparents are Chinese and my parents are Taiwanese, so I'm Chaiwanese. I'm Chai, pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm fantastic with soy milk. Follow me on Twitter: @occasionalasian (All original content copyright (2014). All rights reserved.)

“team of people and there’s one girl” is literally the worst trope and I’m Tired of it

[hurleyquinnzel]

Some other awful tropes:

Team of people and there’s one girl and she’s the only one dressed sexy for literally no reason

Team of people and there’s one girl and she has an unnecessary romantic subplot with one of the men/a stupid love triangle

Team of people and there’s one girl and all the guys fight for her attention

Team of people and there’s one girl and she learned all of her “masculine” skills from her father and/or older brother(s)

Team of people and there was one girl but she died “for the plot to advance”

Team of people and there’s TWO girls but they’re jealous of eachother /hate eachother (bonus points if they hate eachother because they both like the same guy. Bonus bonus points if the guy is the team “captain”)

I love grandma activities… sleeping early, drinking tea, knitting, buying ugly sweaters and tacky clothing, gardening, feeding all the neighbourhood cats, sewing… Im all abt that!

I love doing my thing while someone else is in the room doing their thing. Like if you come over and you want to sit by the window and read while I sit on the floor drawing something and listening to a cd that would be very nice.

INTJ stereotype vs reality

Most people perception of an INTJ:

super smart, aloof and cold, could probably take over the world, ambitious and strategic

Me an actual INTJ:

*constant internal screaming*, has barely slept in the last week because my brain refuses to shut off, reads every book in skyrim just so I don’t miss out on any important info or lore, *thinks about my wasted potential and lack of a plan for the future and has a panic attack*

It’s totally okay to say “you know what, this isn’t making me happy” and to walk away from whatever or whoever is keeping you from the happiness you deserve

adults: record numbers of teens are depressed, we must find out why

teens: school is more stressful than ever, our parents screwed over the economy, the earth is on a path to total environmental destruction, and now we have to deal with actual fuckin nazis

adults: it's the iphones isn't it

people say “if you don’t lower your standards, you’re gonna end up spending your whole life alone!” like being a healthy, happy, financially independent single adult is actually worse than being stuck in an abusive and/or emotionally unfulfilling relationship with someone who isn’t willing/able to meet your needs. like no offense, but I think I’m gonna choose to be happy rather than throwing myself into a relationship just for the sake of being in a relationship.
