It's wild that the whole global trend of gay-focused happy ending romance shows and movies has only been going on for *looks at calendar* a measly ten years!

Just ten years ago. 2014. That's when you get the discovery of a market for queer romance series and films with happy endings. That year the OG Love Sick in Thailand came out. Brazil puts out The Way He Looks, which deserves so much more credit than it receives for influencing the aeshtetics of the genre. Looking premieres on HBO, and although it had low ratings, it's an important touchstone. And, despite Nickelodeon’s censorship and shifting the program from tv to its website, the Legend of Korra confirms Korrasami in its season finale.

The next year, in 2015, we get Love Sick season 2, and China, pre-censorship laws has a few options: Happy Together (not the Wong Kar Wai one lol), Mr. X and I, and Falling In Love with a Rival. Canada, premieres Schitt's Creek. In the US, Steven Universe reveals Garnet as a romantic fusion between two female characters, and will proceed to just be so sapphic. Norwegian web series Skam premieres and sets up a gay protagonist for its third season, which will drop in 2016 and entirely change the global media landscape.

Then, 2016! This is the MOMENT. That aforementioned Skam season happens. Japan puts out the film version of Ossan's Love and anime series Yuri!!! on Ice. China has the impactful Addicted Heroine, which directly leads to increased censorship. The US has Moonlight come out and take home the Oscar. In Thailand, GMMTV enters the BL game and Thai BL explodes: Puppy Honey, SOTUS, Water Boyy, Make It Right, plus, the Thai Gay OK Bangkok, which, like its influence, Looking, is more in the queer tradition but introduces two dramatically important directors to the Thai BL industry, Aof and Jojo.

By 2017, Taiwan enters the game with its History series. Korea’s BL industry actually kicks off with Method and Long Time No See. Thailand’s got too many BLs to mention. Call Me By Your Name, though not a happy ending, makes a big splash that will send ripples through the whole genre, and God's Own Country offers a gruff counter-argument to problematic age differences and twink obsessions. This is also the year of Netflix reboot of One Day At a Time bringing some wlw to the screen, and the Disney Channel has a main character come out as ‘gay’ on Andi Mack ( I’m am ready to throw fists with anyone who thinks the Disney Channel aesthetic isn’t a part of current queer culture). And I'd be remiss not to mention the influential cult-following of chaotic web-series The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo: "Sometimes things that are expensive...are worse."

All this happened, and we hadn’t even gotten to Love, Simon, Elite, or ITSAY, yet.

Prior to all this there are some major precursors some of which signaled and primed a receptive market, others influenced the people who'd go on to create the QLs. Japan has a sputtering start in the 2010s with a few BL films (Takumi-Kun, Boys Love, and Jujoun Pure Heart). Most significantly in the American context, you have Glee, and its ending really makes way for the new era that can center gay young people in a world where queerness, due to easy access to digital information, is less novel to the characters. And the QL book and graphic novel landscape was way ahead of the television and film industries, directly creating many of the stories that the latter industries used.

There's plenty of the traditional queer media content (tragic melodramas and independent camp comedies) going on prior to and alongside QL, and there are some outlying queer romance films with happy endings that precede the era but feel very much akin to QL genre tropes and goals, many with a focus on postcolonial and multicultural perspectives (Saving Face, The Wedding Banquet, Big Eden, Maurice, My Beautiful Launderette, and Weekend). I don't mean to suggest that everything I’ve listed ought to be categorized as QL.

Rather, I want to point out how all of these new-era queer romance works are in a big queer global conversation together, in the creation of a new contemporary genre, a genre that has more capacity and thematic interest to include digital technology and normalize cross-cultural relationships than other genres (there's a reason fansubs and web platforms are so easily accepted and integrated to the proliferation of these series).

You're not too late to be part of the conversation. Imagine being alive in the 1960s and 70s and participating in the blossoming of the sci-fi genre. That flowering is where gay romance sits now. Join the party.

Southeast Asian Cuisine: Culinary Delights

Let’s go on a journey through Southeast Asian Cuisine, where each dish tells a story of tradition and flavor. This guide unveils the culinary treasures of Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and beyond. Southeast Asia serves hundreds of culinary delights for those wanting to try new foods and experience different tastes. Exploring the diverse cuisine in Southeast Asia allows people to better understand the history and people of the region. So, if you’re considering visiting the area any time soon, there are certain dishes you certainly will want to take advantage of! Let’s jump in and look at the highlights of some of the essential dishes in the region.

A Foodie’s Journey Through Southeast Asian Cuisine

Indonesia 

Indonesian cuisine is less famous than other regions like Thailand or China internationally (a situation the Economist attributes to varying factors like politics and prejudice). But there are incredible dishes using rich, flavorful ingredients and spices. An Indonesian staple is rice. It may be served steamed, slightly cooked, or wrapped in leaves. Other popular foods include soup, noodles, and dishes like Nasi Goreng and Rendang.

Rendang is a traditional Indonesian dish originating from Padang. It consists of tenderized beef marinated in coconut milk and traditional species. It certainly is a favorite among people visiting the region. Other notable mentions include satay lilit in Bali. This is a grilled minced meat dish seasoned with chili, lime, and lemongrass. Siomay, a street snack consisting of fish dumplings, sliced potatoes, cabbage, and tofu, topped with a tasty peanut sauce is also great.

The Philippines

Filipino cuisine is more like a fusion of various cultures and influences from Malay, China, and Spain. Some of the more popular choices for those visiting the region include Lechon (roast pig), a staple in Cebu. Don’t miss out on chicken inasal (a charcoal-grilled chicken dish). If you have the chance, enjoy the authentic version in Bacolod. Other tasty meals include adobo (which is marinated meat), and morcon (made from beef, poor, sausages, onions and eggs).

If you’re visiting Davao, take advantage of the opportunities to try durian. There’s also numerous varieties of durian fruit (consisting of candies, cake, flavored coffee, and more). If you are looking for a new taste sensation, the Philippines is definitely the right choice for you.

Southeast Asian Cuisine – Thailand 

The history of Thai food interweaves ingredients and cooking methods from various cultures. The result is a culinary experience that attracts people from around the world. If you’re looking to participate in it, Thai street food is a perfect choice. While visiting, definitely don’t miss out on the roadside stalls where you can try out some delicious options like moo ping (grilled pork), tom yum goong (hot and sour shrimp), Khao man gai (chicken and rice), Khao niao mamuang (sticky rice), grilled skewers and Pad Thai. Head out early in the morning if you want a comforting bowl of jok, a rice porridge featuring pork topped with ginger and onions. Street food allows for a truly immersive experience for those visiting Thailand and wanting to get a unique taste of their culture. 

If you want to explore Thailand, remember that each city and region features something unique. In Chiang Mai, stop and enjoy Khao Soi, a curry soup made with coconut milk served over egg noodles and topped with layered crispy fried noodles. Heading to Northeastern Thailand? Try Som Tam, a mash of tasty vegetables, Larb, and Nam Toke, and salads of meat, rice, lime, and fish sauce. Staying in the central region of Thailand? Well, many describe Bangkok as a “”food lover’s paradise, ” so don’t miss out on everything the city has to offer. If you’re heading South to the beautiful islands, try Sataw (prawns with a unique flavor), Massaman curry, or Khua Kling.

Vietnam

Southeast Asian Cuisine and Vietnam! If you’re traveling in Vietnam, you’ll encounter a range of dishes and flavors that change from North to South. Those in Sagon enjoy bánh xèo (crispy pancakes) rolled with greens and dipped in sweet-and-sour fish sauce, while Hai An Cao Lau noodles are a popular snack. Don’t miss out on the fantastic street food options like banh mi (a sandwich featuring pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, pork belly, pork floss, and cucumber) or pho (featuring flat rice noodles with beef or chicken cooked in a hearty stock, spiced with clove, and cinnamon and anise). 

Bánh Xèo, emerging from the Mekong Delta and popular in south and central Vietnam, features a batter made from coconut milk and rice. The filling contains pork, bean sprouts, and shrimp. If you still have room, try Che, a dessert sometimes served hot or cold and topped with fruits like bananas and longan. The unique combination of sauces, herbs, and spices creates a memorable experience that captures Vietnamese cuisine.

Singapore

We have to talk about Singapore if we are talking about Southeast Asian Cuisine. Singapore’s cuisine combines influences from China, Malay, and India. Some staples include Hainanese chicken rice and chili crab. Suppose you’re looking to check out some fine dining. In that case, several Michelin-star regional restaurants offer a promising taste sensation.

Laos

Laos’ amazing scenery and deep cultural legacy makes it a popular choice. The food is also worth trying out. Laotian cuisine is not as well known in the West. The dishes may seem simple, but it’s quite flavorful, frequently combining fermented pork and fish with chilies and fresh herbs (think mint, cilantro, makrut lime leaf, ginger, garlic, etc.).

Cambodia

When we talk about Southeast Asian Cuisine, we have to talk about Cambodia. The use of different herbs and spices, together with the addition of tropical fruits from the area, define the cuisine. The region’s most popular dishes include lok lak, a stir-fried beef dish; fish amok, which is fish made with banana leaves; and amok, a stew made with kroeung and fresh coconut milk. The cuisine of the area combines a variety of tastes, from spicy to sweet, to produce a flavor profile that is sure to please. You might want to try kangkep baob if you’re feeling more daring. It’s a frog that’s been roasted over hot coals packed with peanuts, chiles, pork, and different spices like garlic and lemongrass.

Southeast Asian Cuisine: A Feast for Foodies

Southeast Asian Cuisine is delicious. Whether you want to visit the numerous street vendors or immerse yourself in an exciting culinary experience by visiting a more upscale restaurant, you will be very content with Southeast Asian food. There are an infinite variety of flavors and dishes worth exploring. Hopefully, this article has pointed you toward some of the more popular ones you wouldn’t wouldn’t-would want to take advantage of.

Assess- week 1 Blog 1:Symbol

When it comes to Thai symbols, we have to mention the national emblem of Thailand, the Garuda. It is a human but with bird wings in the form of a golden-winged bird, which is a mythical half-human, half-bird figure.

In Hinduism, he is the mount of Lord Vishnu. But Garuda also plays an important role in Buddhist mythology, drawing on the role of the god in the Mahabharata. Buddhism does not see the goldfinch as an individual, but as a being: a huge, intelligent bird creature with certain human characteristics.

Why would Thailand, a Buddhist country, use a deity from Hinduism as its national emblem? Because Thailand has a long history of Hinduism and because Buddhism has a very close connection with Hinduism. Thailand's cultural roots are actually based on the fusion of Buddhism, Hinduism and animist religion.

（ Garuda on top of the government building in Bangkok）

Not only that, but Hinduism has played an important role in Thai royalty throughout the history of the country, and the ancient kings of Thailand believed in divine kingship and considered themselves to be the incarnation of the god Narayana. The symbol of Garuda was believed to protect people from evil and danger. He dispels negative spirits, black magic, evil spells and poisons.

Garuda is so common in Thailand that vehicles carrying the king are engraved with the golden-winged bird on the front. Many different styles of Garuda can be found in government buildings and royal temples in Thailand. Some private companies may also display the goldfinch on their emblems if they have received the honor of "Royal Appointment. More commonly, the Garuda is also found in Thai currency.

Thailand Culture Through Art and Architecture

Thailand, a country known for its rich heritage and diverse traditions, offers a fascinating insight into its culture through its art and architecture. The blend of historical influences and local traditions has shaped Thailand’s unique identity, making it one of the most captivating countries in Southeast Asia. In this article, we will explore how Thailand culture is reflected in its art and architectural masterpieces.

The Essence of Thailand Culture in Art

Thailand culture is intricately woven into the fabric of its artistic expressions. Traditional Thai art, including painting, sculpture, and dance, reflects the country’s deep religious roots, particularly in Buddhism. Thai art is known for its vivid colors, intricate designs, and spiritual symbolism. Religious themes dominate many artworks, as the country has a long history of Buddhist influence, and temples (or “wats”) often serve as galleries displaying masterpieces.

One of the most iconic art forms in Thailand culture is the “Rattanakosin” style of painting. These artworks typically depict mythological figures, scenes from Buddhist scriptures, and royal life. The use of gold leaf and bright, contrasting colors makes these paintings instantly recognizable. Many of these paintings adorn the walls of temples, showcasing how art and spirituality blend together in Thai culture.

Thailand Architecture: A Testament to Cultural Heritage

Just as Thai art tells the story of the nation, its architecture serves as a physical manifestation of Thailand culture. Thai architecture is most notably represented by the design of temples, palaces, and traditional homes. The intricate details of these structures speak volumes about the respect Thai people have for their cultural history.

The “wat” or Buddhist temple is an essential aspect of Thailand’s architectural heritage. These temples are often adorned with ornate carvings, golden spires, and elaborate murals that depict scenes from Thai mythology and Buddhist teachings. The Grand Palace in Bangkok is one of the most famous examples, showcasing royal Thai architecture with its gilded facades, expansive courtyards, and serene atmosphere. The style of architecture used in these temples and royal buildings combines influences from ancient Khmer, Sukhothai, and Ayutthaya traditions, all contributing to Thailand culture’s uniqueness.

In addition to temples, traditional Thai homes reflect the nation’s deep connection to nature. Thai homes, typically made from wood, are designed with a focus on open spaces and natural ventilation, in harmony with the tropical climate. The raised floors and sloped roofs are architectural features that protect against floods and provide shade, a testament to the practical aspects of Thai culture.

How Modern Thailand Integrates Traditional Art and Architecture

While traditional Thai art and architecture continue to thrive, modern Thailand also embraces contemporary influences. The country has seamlessly integrated modern elements into its architecture, creating a fusion that respects its heritage while embracing new technology and design trends.

Cities like Bangkok feature a stunning contrast between towering skyscrapers and traditional temples, symbolizing how Thailand culture has evolved without losing its roots. Contemporary art galleries, such as the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC), showcase how modern Thai artists are pushing boundaries while maintaining elements of their cultural heritage. In modern Thai art, the juxtaposition of the past and present reflects the country’s ability to adapt while holding on to its traditions.

The Role of Thailand Culture in Preserving Heritage

Efforts to preserve Thailand’s cultural heritage are critical in maintaining the significance of art and architecture. Various cultural initiatives and institutions, such as the Fine Arts Department of Thailand, work tirelessly to protect historical landmarks and promote traditional arts. These efforts ensure that future generations will continue to experience and appreciate the depth of Thailand culture.

Thailand culture is also preserved through festivals and cultural events that celebrate art and architecture. The annual Songkran festival, for instance, offers an opportunity for people to experience traditional art forms like dance, music, and puppet shows. These celebrations are a vibrant expression of Thai culture that continues to attract global attention, making the country a unique hub for cultural exchange.

Conclusion

Thailand culture is a remarkable blend of artistic and architectural traditions that continue to shape the identity of this beautiful country. From the intricate murals in its temples to the grand structures of the Grand Palace, every aspect of Thai art and architecture tells a story. The integration of modern elements with traditional designs showcases Thailand’s ability to evolve while honoring its cultural heritage. Whether it’s through its art, architecture, or festivals, Thailand culture offers a rich and diverse tapestry that continues to captivate the world. Through these expressions, the beauty of Thailand’s past and present is celebrated and preserved for future generations.
