This Is Really Good And Very Real. We Can't Take The Ggod And Leave The Bad Behind.

This is really good and very real. We can't take the ggod and leave the bad behind.

I'm not Asian, but ignoring the suffering they went through is ridiculous.

A large pair of unsettling eyes with ringed pink irises stare at a nude pink girl with straight black hair. She is clenched in its oversized white fist. Pink hands of various shades reach up from the bottom of the page. Text reads: [FETISHIZATION IS NOT REPRESENTATION IS NOT APPRECIATION IS NOT RESPECT]
A girl with light pink skin and black hair holds a pink glittery mask over her face. It is titled so a single weeping eye is visible. A thick black bar crosses the red background behind her. Text reads: [YOUR GLORIFICATION OF THE PALATEABLE AESTHETICS OF MY CULTURE IS NOT REVERENCE]
A chunky black silhouette stands against a pink background covered in images of singing kpop girl idols. Inside the figure, text reads: [AND EVEN AS YOU MEMORIZE THE PHONETICS OF YOUR FAVORITE KPOP CHORUS YOU STILL MISPRONOUNCE MY LAST NAME]
An assortment of Asian food on pink dishes is arranged on a black background, including shrimp tempura, chicken curry, gyoza, soup dumplings, pork katsu, white rice, miso soup, kimchi, tteokbokki, kimbap, sushi, and ramen. Text reads: [YOU ENJOY EATING OUR FOOD BUT YOU DENY US A SEAT AT THE TABLE.]
Two white silhouettes pose with a selfie stick against the Seoul skyline. White clouds and a plane stand in the pink sky. Below that, red fire consumes the background. Below that still, the background turns to black. Text reads: [YOU FANTASIZE THAT ASIAN COUNTRIES ARE A DREAMLAND YOU CAN ESCAPE TO… ALL THE WHILE IGNORING THE UGLY SCARS COLONIALISM HAS LEFT ON OUR HISTORIES… AND HOW WE ARE STILL PICKING UP THE PIECES IMPERIALISM HAS LEFT BEHIND]
A girl with flowing black hair and pink skin weeps into her hands. Her tears are blood, and the wind seems to blow cuts across her body. Text reads: [YOU SPEAK OVER OUR VOICES, BUT YOU ARE SILENT AS WE ARE HARASSED AND KILLED]
A white background is consumed by pink and reds at the bottom. Four black panels form a two-by-two grid, each of them showing a sexualized Asian girl drawn in red lines. The first, a girl in an Orientalist belly dancer costume; the second, a girl in a maid dress; the third, a schoolgirl in uniform; the fourth, in an oversexualized qipao with a slit along the thigh. Text reads: [GOD FORBID AN ASIAN PERSON EXISTS OUTSIDE OF YOUR IDEAL CONSUMMABLE PACKAGE: QUIET AND DEMURE AND POLITE AND CUTE]
A drawing of a girl with shoulder-length hair and a hanbok against a pink background. A black bar blocks out her eyes, white text on it reading: [I AM NOT YOUR ASIAN AMERICAN DOLL]

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

Giggling like a little girl because I'm watching Love last forever (Koi Wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made Mo) and she just saw Tendo again in the hospital but he doesn't remembers her.

The glory season 1

So, I started catching up on this drama and let me tell you something: If someone gave me the look Moon Dong-Eun gave me the look she gave Yeon-Jin, you can be sure that I would die on my spot. Melt, and beg for forgiveness. There is no way I'll get on her bad side.

DUTY AFTER SCHOOL EPISODE 10

DUTY AFTER SCHOOL EPISODE 10

I tried looking for something that said "Sad" but Tumblr was sending to get mental help. Not that I don't need it but I feel that everyone that has watched kdramas lately need therapy.

DUTY AFTER SCHOOL EPISODE 10

ANYWAY

Kdramas lately have really been trying to play with my mental health. It's slightly concerning but I must give a standing ovation to the actors and actresses, directors and producers of this Kdramas because it's been crazy.

The emotions portrayed in this episode have been wonderful. They exxplored trauma, how going into college/university can reduce a person into a position, and how fear can play with your mind.

I love how they also touched on the topic of adults being the ones that should protect us, but in the end, we end up protecting ourselves and each other. Hopefully, the new generation will have it easier and depend on us, the new adults.

The truth is that this kdrama is very realistic. Not the alien part, of course but definitely the war portion of the drama.

Fighting to have good grades, fighting to be the best, fighting to make everyone proud, fighting to leave our mark in the world and then being categorized as bad students and good students. It feels healing to see there is someone who realizes that being at war doesn't mean carrying a weapon but trying to achieve something while all eyes are on you.

The adults using the university to manipulate the teenagers felt raw and real. Because they do manipulate us somehow.

They know what our weaknesses are, and they use it against us. But I believe that we'll do better.

I believe that this generation will tell the next one that it's okay to fail.

I believe this generation will encourage the next one to be happy.

I believe this generation will heal traumas by helping the new generation grow up.

I feel we gave up on our dreams, but we shouldn't stop dreaming.

If we stop dreaming we'll become like them. Categorizing people by their grades, by their beauty, by what they want.

Let's keep dreaming healthily. Let's encourage one another to keep surviving, to keep living. Let's find the joy in life, the peace in the quietness, the gratefulness in the touch of the sun.

I know it's hard. I know sometimes it feels as if the war were pressing on us but we've made it this far. We can do it a little more.

For us. And for those that are coming next.

That's the reality of duty after school. Not the aliens of the war. But surviving even when the world is going against us.

Surviving the appearances.

Surviving.

Let's all survive together. Let's grow old together. Let's keep fighting.

For us.

For the ones coming.

For the ones that stopped fighting.

Let's never give up.

The good bad mother

When I tell you

THAT I KNEW IT

I AIN'T KIDDING

I FREAKING KNEW KANG-HO WANT'S EVIL!

I WROTE POSTS ABOUT IT (Check them out. Read me in my hysteria) AND DID SOMEBODY BELIEVE ME?

YEAH?

maybe

I don't know

But it doesn't matter beacuse I KNEW IT

It's like, everything I was talking about actually happened and I am extremely giddy because of it.

Kang-Ho is soooo freaking smart. Leaving clues for his mother and him to find? GENIOUS!!!

Do I believe there will be troucle because his mom burnt all of it? Maybe

Do I believe there was something in his prosecutor ID which he picked up before his mom could burn it all? I do.

Do I believe the last scene of the episode is going to bring problems for Kang-Ho? Most definitely. I'm still wondering if that was the baby's head of no. Whatever it was, we will find out soon.

Am I excited for tomorrow's episode? Yes I am.

Am I a masochist? Why, how did you know?

Am I giddy because my theories were correct? Yes I am.

Now let's cross out fingers and hope that the producers don't do a 360 with the twins and Kang-Ho.

See ya tomorrow!

The Good Bad Mother
