[pink-strawberry-kissess]

tumblr keeps exposing me cuz every time i get a notification it says “your crush is at it again” “mind-blowing post from your crush. they’re a favorite of yours, we’ve noticed ❤️”

and i be like WHO tf IS MY CRUSH??? i don’t even have a crush, and i click and it’s you😐

is me drunk anon.

i’m not sure if you talked about this before. you may have, and i have a feeling you did. i just don’t remember, but what are your hcs/theories for Ada’s back story and how she became a merc? (maybe you might want to do them FAQ shit lmao, hehe just a suggestion because i understand it can quiet get a bit tiring answering repetitive questions)

let’s get very deep with this. let’s not glide the surface of the water. i do believe that she started at a very young age. maybe around 9 or 10. and for this whole mercenary thing to work? there is no way she went to public school. was Ada born in China then gained US citizenship, or born in the US? i hc Ada’s parents as immigrants FOR SURE. maybe her family came to the US to escape economic hardships in China? maybe her parents are US citizens but her grandparents are immigrants? i’m only saying this because i believe it’s canon information that Ada is Chinese-American (and honestly i don’t remember seeing where Vietnamese came from), so she can’t be Australian or Canadian lmao

i would go on but this question is for u and not for me lol

k bye (YOU DRINK WATER too FAWK 🫵😤 and eat a something. u need reminding too 🖐️😌)

"they're a favourite of yours," YOU HAVE OTHER FAVOURITES????? >:((((((

im jks dfjkbfdjkssdjkfbskf

HIHIii

sdjkfjskfjksbfs honestly i have answered lots of things and i keep forgetting to link them to my masterlist and im also lazy

OKAYOKAOKAYOKAY so i think the "Ada is Chinese/American" has been a huge misinterpretation based on that one "Ada Wong facts" vid from ink ribbon? the video states that she's Chinese-American and for some reason I think people interpreted that as she's half Chinese / Half white. (i've always interpreted it as just she is Chinese AND lives in America and has grown up partially in America.

also for some reason it seems like Ada (to me) is the only fully asian character because jill has always supposed to be half japanese and they just COMPLETELY got rid of that imo. i refuse to acknowledge that she's half japanese considering they just don't do anything alluding to the fact that she is. she's always been modelled after white models too.

And also a lot of sites including capcom just state that's Ada's "of Chinese descent" and don't specify anything else.

ALSO capcom FUCKED UP REAL BAD IMO by modeling her with a WHITE PERSON'S FACE. ada, a chinese woman, should've NEVER been modelled after a white person. i know that for a bit of damnation? courtenay taylor stated that they modelled it a bit after her because of her face/voice???? but i don't know if it was confirmed, it was just from an interview and she wasn't even sure herself

i think because we have no idea for her backstory and there's no canon backstory there's so much to go on for DDDD: i just have so many thoughts about what kind of life she could've had.

god i just reread this and im rambling a lot just a lot of YAPPING

okay uh

i don't really think she was born in the states tbh. i do think her parents were immigrants or at least she had something that made her go to the states. i like the idea of her having to at least grow up a bit in the states (particularly in her teens) and that's also why i think she doesn't have an accent.

also YEAH i do know a lot of people who have come over from china or some part of asia and they RARELY lose their accent if they come over in their 20s. (most people have defined vocab at this point and unless they actively try to lose their accent or change their vocab, it tends to stay kinda the same. their english will get better, but i've also known people that lost a lot of their english after leaving uni for example) i've only see people lose their accent/never develop one if they have lived in america for 15+ years or grew up for a lot of their childhood/teen years

i know that's confirmation bias lol but considering ada's always had perfect american english, i (personally) can not headcanon that she moved into the states in her 20s. i think that she could've been in the states by the time she's like 7-11.

i'm not a huge headcanon-er of ada having siblings (particularly younger siblings.) also it being the 70s, (if her family complied with the law) she should not/would not have younger siblings (look up "one child law" if you're confused) i can see her having a younger friend that she "wanted as a sister"

i can maybe see ada having an older sibling, but i also hc that her family (similarly to leon and the rest of the re cast lol) have all lost their families in their entirety. (also i KNOW that the "leon lost his entire family" thing hasn't ever really been confirmed, it's just heavily headcanoned)

also

ada is not a chinese name. WONG is, but ada isn't. i've struggled with this and trying to find a reason for this lol other than it just being a fake name. iirc ada is a german name (from it's origins)

NYWAYS SORRY FOR YAPPING

THAT'S MY SECRET, I'M ALWAYS DRINKING WATER

hehe i go eat something sweet hehe :3

Instameet, Cokelat dan Hamzah Batik

7 Januari 2023

Instameet awal tahun yang kudatangi ngga awal-awal banget

Begitu tahu akan ada event ini langsung aku share ke @congferi yang memang sedang ada di Jogja. Kak Fer tertarik untuk ikut, dan kita agendakan ke sana beberapa hari sebelumnya. Kabar baiknya, kita dapat pinjaman kamera dari kantor kak Fer. Ngga tahu kantor yang mana wkwk tuh orang banyak kantornya dah. Kabar buruknya, kami sama-sama khawatir bakal kesiangan ke acara.

Dan beneran kejadian.

Aku udah set alarm padahal. Tapi ya bangun cuma buat matiian alarm. Sial. Ketika aku nyalain data dan cek hp, kak Fer chat aku apakah jadi pergi atau tidak. Aku iyakan lalu bergegaas mandi. Meski ternyata mandiku terhitung lama, kak Fer belum tiba ke kos untuk menjemput. Eh maksudku nebeng deng.

Akhirnya kami berangkat, dengan beberapa pikiran di kepalaku.

Dalam perjalanan sempat berdiskusi apakah akan tetap ke Alun-alun Kidul (lokasi Instameet) mengingat udah telat atau langsung ke sekitar Malioboro untuk beli oleh-oleh karena Fwr mau pulkam dan aku dipesani beli titipan. Persis yang dia tanyakan adalah apa yang aku pikirkan.

"Kita ke sana 30 menit, lalu beli oleh²" putus kak Fer kemudian. Aku setuju. Bagiku itu solusi bagus, dapat dua hal meski dikit², ya daripada ngga sama sekali. Toh Aku berniat silaturrahim sama @januarprasetiya dan @wisnuendraa kali ini. Rasa kepemilikanku pada Instagram beda jauh dengan dulu saat masih mendaku sebagai Instagrammer. Meski begitu aku tidak mau memutsu silaturrahim dengan mereka yang sudah kukenal. Toh ada kesempatan juga untukku kolaborasi dengan beberapa yang akan kutemui, sapa tahu jadi cuan atau jodoh. LOL

From Instameet to Instawed wkwk

Di grup sudah mulai acara huntingnya. Ada jeda keterlambatan kami sekitar satu jam. Beberapa sudah share lokasi di mana mereka jalan. Aku dan kak Fer agak bingung mau parkir di mana kalau sekitar Alun-alun Kidul. Akhirnya kami memutuskan untuk parkir di Pasar Ngasem dan menyusul teman-teman dengan berjalan. “Saya sih oke aja jalan, biar gerak” kata kak Fer.

Kamera yang dipinjami kantor itu Sony A6000. Yah mirrorless standar buat pemula lah ya haha. Sejak pertama kupegang, aku mulai memoto situasi dari jalan yang kujalani. Udah lama ngga motret landscape ternyata asik juga.

Kami mencari rombongan berpatokan dengan live location di grup WA. Kadang kelewat, kadang ngga yakin harus ke mana ahaha. Ketika ketemu rombongan, orang² udah beberapa ngaso, maklum karena sudah hampir sampai garis titik mulai. Beberapa memang masih hunting. Setidaknya itu yang kudengar dari @wildanrezki kenalan yang kutemui dan ternyata orang Wonosari. Dia menarik perhatian karena pakai payung yg langsung nyangkut di kepala. Aku pengen beli.

Aku paham kenapa tempat sekitar alun-alun dipilih. Banyak bangunan gaya lama. Dan orang bisa eksplor gang juga.

Teman baru yang sempat kenalan juga ada @vikisthadimas yang meminta kami in frame. Jujur aku malah bingung karena kok posisi dia ngambil rada kurang pas. Aku ngga paham dia mau take genre apa. Selesai foto dengan Viki, baru aku ketemu Wisnu.

Terus @zulfaenno yang jadi model foto, sekaligus foto terbaik dalam sesi Instameet kali ini. Awalnya kak Fer colek kalau bakal ada model gratis buat foto. Soalnya doi ada di depan kami dan sering berhenti buat foto. Ya iyalah aku memanfaatkan kesempatan untuk fotoin doi haha. Begitu terus sampai akhirnya sampai ke alun-alun. Ada beberapa foto yang sempat kuambil. Tapi secara keseluruhan, foto terbaik adalah foto doi. Sukak aseli. Sesuka itu kek “weh kepikiran ya aku moto kek gini”.

Sekitar 30an menit hunting dan tegur sapa, aku dan Fwr memutuskan lanjut Malioboro, setelah berpamitan dengan temen², mas @adityaagungm lalu @stefanusjessef yang baru ketemu hari ini secara langsung (hola broh 🖐️) dan @oktaffyani yang jauh² hadir dari Magelang. Sebenarnya masih ada sesi sharing tapi aku ngga ikut. Ya paling isinya itu-itu aja haha.

Kami belum sarapan. Jadi ketika nemu tempat lucu bernama Es Cokelat, mampirlah. Lupa haraganya berapa soalnya kak Fer yang bayarin. Kami pesan es cokelat ukuran medium, dan dapat gratis roti. Kami pesan rotinya dipanggang (nambah biaya). Tempatnya lucu. Ada dekorasi kertas harapan dan aku sempat abadikan beberapa foto.

Makanannya enak sih. Aseli. Rotinya pas gurihnya. Tekstur ada lembut dan renyah dikit. Cokelatnya enak menurutku. Tapi kalau kata kak Fer kemanisan. Iya emang tapi pie aku suka manis.

Selesai makan kami harus berjalan membakar kalori ke parkiran biar ngga kebanyakan gula.

Lalu kita ke Malioboro, dengan gantian aku yang nyetir.

Tujuan kami berbeda. Kak Fer ke Pasar Beringharjo. Aku ke Hamzah Batik. Kami parkir di masjid dekat pasar. Ini suasana yang bagus sebenarnya buat hunting street atau human interest. Tapi aku ngga begitu kebayang buat shoot jadi ya seadanya. Aku lebih suka merhatiin kegiatan orang-orang dan pilihan jajanan pasar yang ada. Mo beli kok ya pas bokek, takut khilaf banyak.

Hamzah Batik punya bau yang enggak enak di hidungku ngga tahu bau apa. Jadi aku ngga begitu betah. Cuma pas fokus cari pesanan Zil, jadi ngga kepikiran sih. Aku ikuti intruksinya di chat mengenai lokasi dan juga bentuk barangnya. Ada dua barang, satu ada, satu lagi stock kosong. Setelah kulaporkan ke petugas, katanya sih bisa restock langsung ke online store. Tapi aku memilih untuk menunggu jawaban Zil enaknya beli apa.

Aku memilih coba hunting di jalanan Malioboro. Kepikiran foto masjid biru tapi eh ya kok pas renov, malah rasido. Akhirnya cuma motoin orang berlalu-lalang. Sebenarnya ada beberapa foto bagus, tapi mau upload ke micro stock kok ya takut perlu izin. Menghadeh.

Setelah Zil memberikan jawaban, aku kembali ke lantai 2 Hamzah Batik. Aslinya masih langsung nunjukin foto tapi akhirnya kebeli juga. Aku pun membeli tali kait masker yang tiba-tiba aja inget butuh.

Kembali ke parkiran, dan nunggu kak Fer yang ternyata masih belum kelar belanja.
