Im Going To Try Out Being A Jonathan-appreciator On Main

while i do love watching old sci-fi and horror, it really does feel fifty fifty on either “omg this is the best thing ever, why is no one talking about it?” or “ah, this is the worst thing ever, i get why no one is talking about it”.

like i’ll be watching one thinking “this is actually relatively progressive for the time” the all of a sudden there’s a blatant disregard for women’s autonomy and/or consent.

i think more filmmakers should recreate old sci-fi, but like, not racist or sexist. ooo, and make it gay!

Ang Pau (红包) or Red Packet is a monetary gift given during holidays or for special occasions such as a wedding, a graduation, or the birth of a baby. Although the red envelope was popularised by Chinese traditions, other cultures also share similar traditional customs. The red packet is also called 压岁钱 (money that can suppress the demon) when given to children during Chinese New Year. This term, however, is now understood as “money given to children by their elders”.

Before stepping out of the house to visit relatives or friends this Lunar New Year, bring a pair of Mandarin Oranges (柑) with you. A traditional gift during Chinese New Year is the exchanging of a pair of mandarin oranges and the giving of red packet containing an even amount of money. Unmarried adults and children receive these red packets from married family members and friends in exchange of wishing them good health and fortune.

Pineapples are called “ong lai” in Hokkien and Cantonese, which literally translates to 旺来 or “fortune come”, hence their popularity during the CNY celebrations. It is considered lucky to have them during Chinese New Year and giving Pineapple Tarts (黄梨塔) as gifts symbolises good fortune and luck.

what a good day to remember that butch lesbians (ESPECIALLY trans, poc, and/or fat butch lesbians) aren’t fucking predatory

lantern launch for loi krathong at the temple of wat chai mongkol in thaliand’s chiang mai, and nearby mae jo university. the festival is celebrated every year on the full moon of the twelfth month of the thai lunar calendar, which falls this year on november 6. it is believed these illuminated lanterns, or khom loy, send a person’s bad luck and misfortune away into the air.

This this this this this this this this this!! Also having a less conventionally attractive guy (don’t get me wrong, Daniel is hot af) that looks somewhat like me getting love online is so empowering.

If Zemo were ever confirmed to be queer I would be overjoyed. It would mean the goddamn world to me.

I've just noticed that Zemo has become something like a power fantasy character for me.

he's short, with a soft body, and the more 'common' brown hair/eyes. he's also ~vaguely ethnic~ of a general Polish/Czech area like me (even if his ethnicity is made up)

and totally not anything like other mcu characters with their washboard abs and cutting cheekbones and buff arms. or at least none of the ones you're supposed to find sexy.

but Zemo's just so undeniably confident in everything he does it makes me feel giddy with second-hand power. like yeah, I too am not your conventional wet dream, but maybe can strut my love handles in a man's direction with the confidence of a baron who knows that they are the most fuckable thing in a gang with people who look like Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan.

like, damn.

I know he's not actually queer or anything but the thought of a character like that who is also possibly dealing with things like depression and mental illness that doesn't stem from dysphoria or homophobia?? I want more of it pls.

(basically what I'm saying is Zemo has hit classic Disney Villain level representation for me)

Good soup
