Goodness; forgot to post this on Monday since I started a new job, but Day One of Asia Comic Expo 2025!

Dressed up as Tighnari for the occasion, and had a wonderful time walking the con floor, buying new stuff for my friends and I, as well as taking photos with others (The first two photos were taken by minexe.isdeceased on Instagram)!

Katsuya Terada also had a Special Exhibition during the event, and I took a few photos of some of the artworks he had displayed during the event, including this piece he drew live for Day One!

(I also bought his sketchbook compilation, SKETCH, and he drew a lil' grim skull doodle along with his signature; it's pretty neat!)

While the Hunter's Path did suffer a bit of an accident during the convention (that acrylic panel will be the death of me, but at least it didn't snap at the connection point this time) overall it was a great experience for what's effectively my cosplay swan song (until I settle my routine with my new job, that is)!

Godzilla vs. Cthulhu is finally happening... as a convention-exclusive comic. Jonathan Maberry is writing and Bruno Abdias is illustrating. CMON will distribute it at San Diego Comic Con, GenCon, unspecified European location(s), and CMON Expo Asia 2024, along with a Godzilla miniature for their Cthulhu: Death May Die game. Someone had better scan this thing; in the meantime, I'll just have to re-read the C.L. Werner rendition.

Hi, I'm also not the original asakiku anon, but regarding Japan and China fics, I recommend downloading the Asia edition of the following historical hetalia zine. The artists/writers are predominantly Asian and other POC. There’re multiple entries about Japan and China’s relationships with other Asians, listed chronologically below. A number explore Japanese imperialism really well too.

Zine link: hwsrazzledazzle(dot)itch(dot)io/hwsrazzledazzle02

versailles, 1919: comic touching on china and japan’s historical relationship and sino-japanese tensions after WWI.  

a bird’s eye view of the taiwan expo: art and fic exploring japanese colonialism in the 1930s, features taiwan, japan and south korea.

1942: japan focused-fic, character exploration about propaganda, nationalism and imperialism after the battle of midway.

wild: poem written from mongolia’s perspective in the 1960s but with references to china’s influence on her history.

the long spring: fic about china and manchuria/the qing dynasty. alternates between 1970s china and older flashbacks over the centuries.

letter from india to china: india reflecting on his relationship with china over the 20th century on the eve of the new millennium.

I encourage you and anyone else to also read the contributors' historical footnotes, to understand their characterization of Yao and Kiku and why it differs from how western fandom often overemphasizes them being soft, shy, cute, or emotionally-repressed/stunted next to more expressive white characters. I get that most ppl incl you aren’t ill-intentioned and are maybe thinking it makes Kiku (or Yao) endearing. But some tropes that are innocuous for white characters are condescending and inappropriate for fics where Yao and Kiku represent old nations. Because they stem from harmful, historical orientalist stereotypes that simplify, fetishize and infantilize east asians in very problematic ways to be love interests for white characters, and this was a distinct problem with how Kiku was depicted in SPE.

Additionally, intra-Asian relationships are important to providing more holistic characterization, because another issue is when i) historical hetalia fics make Japan or China disproportionately trusting or devoted to a white fave, while minimizing irl racism/imperialism they faced from said Western country in the interests of romance ii) while downplaying or omitting intra-Asian relationships that were in reality equally or far more important to Japan and China to center whiteness. As a Sino fan, I ship Asian+Western characters too (Eng/chu, Ame/pan), so I'm not against that. What I mean is being mindful, acknowledging unequal dynamics/grievances that did affect ties between that Asian and Western country as challenges the characters have to work through (or fail to do so, with consequences), and also visibly integrating Yao and Kiku's important relationships with other Asians into their characterization. Just as I’m sure few England fans would dispute France’s importance to England, even if Fruk isn’t their OTP, and would include him as a character in an England fic. I hope this all makes sense.

Thank you for the link and the additional context and explanation! It absolutely does make sense, thank you for taking the time to explain and send over, I really appreciate it.
