#Kazakh stuff

[shadowetienne]

darling, since you are part kazakh, happy Nauryz! wishing you to be happy and in good health! 🌿☀️🌼 (i really enjoy your blog <3)

Thank you! The Kazakh part of my heritage is something that I've been getting the chance to connect to more as an adult, so this is really sweet, and also something where I'm like, "oh it never even occurred to me that someone would think to give me wishes for one of the big important holidays from that" and it's really sweet of you.

I appreciate you a lot for including me in this! I am having a little trouble articulating the feelings this is giving me, but like, big sincere ones.

Thank you!

Happy Nauryz! I wish you to be happy and in good health as well!

5 character prompts i got in a concept design class. i drew a little old kazakh lady (already had the reference material) a murder robot who's been converted into a robot nanny, a renaissance era teen girl inventor, ted gillman attorney at law, and the Ryu of a fighting game i made up about drag queen martial artists

[weirdqueerleftistunity]

no matter the fandom i will draw queer characters in dresses as is my divine duty... sorry this didnt turn out very good, im super tired so it definitely wasnt wise to attempt to draw these two in intricate outfits. i really like outfit swaps when the characters swap cultural dress, its the cutest thing to me- tho somehow im the worst researcher in the world so finding references is so difficult and i mess it up every time. you understand the vision though.

the expression I could eat a horse never rings as true as it does in Kazakhstan:D

Our national dish(or at least the traditional version of it) beshparamaq is literally horse meat with bread(not the bread you think) and some onions.

It looks like this:

It is really delicious. Of course it depends on how you cooked and the quality of meat, but when it hits it SLAPS.

You usually eat it with hands. Also sometimes it is served with a head of the animal, and the head of the hose gives different parts of it to those who need it the most. Like eyes for someone who sees bad, or ears for someone who is losing their hearing.(or brains for you/j)

Why do people say that Tianshou is angsty? #Web Drama Zang Hai Hua# #NPSS explains Tianshou# [Video] 

1508

Q: I want to know if there are two forces of Tianshou, both good and bad sides respectively: Gate guarding Tianshou (good) and Lu God's Tianshou (bad). 

A: You're a little smart.

1509

Q: Shu, if little Zhang Qiling was in a tomb one second and transmigrated into his Yucun self the next second with his feet in the same foot bath as Wu Xie’s, what would his first sentence be?

A: A demon!

1510

Q: I will watch Zang Hai Hua for you… Don’t stop answering, okay…

A: I’m still persevering.

1511

Q: A-Bing, did you know that Zang Hai Hua will stop updating for 3 days? Do you still want your Heat Index or not! (T/N: Heat Index is the ranking/ trending-ness of a drama.)

A: I’m not the boss. It’s not my decision to make!

1537

Q: Hello, Xu-laoshi. Since you said that you won’t be writing “Yucun Biji” anymore (If there’s going to be 9 more Yucun Biji published, then you don’t have to read this post because Yucun Biji is my favorite out of the entire series), can I beg you for an Altay Biji? I wish to see the Iron Triangle’s nomadic life: Menyouping riding a motorcycle to Ürümqi to buy stuff (could also go from a summer ranch to some village). Wu Xie would be in charge of raising cats and dogs and chickens and goats and cows. Pangzi would be in charge of steaming lamb and barbecuing lamb chop. When they don’t want to herd the animals anymore, they can plant sunflowers. Wu Xie can use his architectural talents and build underground houses and learn a few Kazakh words…  

A: I’ve been to Altay. The life there is like the original series and not Yucun.

1540

Q: Laoshi, Sir, Genius Writer, do you know how amazing the Flowery Night you wrote is? How did you do it? Are you Team Experience or Team Imagination? Has a beautiful god descended in the middle of the night and kissed the keyboard you wrote Flowery Night on?

A: Those who understand Flowery Night are experts.

1553 Q: I just took a nap and Shu got online. With the drama updates on hold for three days, will you chat with us for three days?

A: On and off, I guess. I’m deathly busy. I want to cry.

1554

Q: Sanshu, Sanshu, what is the one thing that Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi did that angered the other the most? Please tell me.

A: That would be enough for ten books.

1858

Q: Would there be one day where the Iron Triangle gets poisoned after eating some unknown mushrooms?

A: It would if Xiaoge isn’t around.

1858

Q: Shu, would there be updates for Queen’s Banquet? Approximately when would the updates start? Wu Xie is about to go moldy being stuck in that hole.

A: Soon. I need to pick a good desk.

1900

Q: Sanshu, Sanshu, does Wu Xie have any children appropriate de-stressing methods? The kind that can be broadcasted.

A: Standing in the rain?

20240903

0509

Q: The cat didn’t survive but if the cat did survive, would Xiaohua keep it? Or would he give it to Xiazi to raise?

A: Xiaohua wouldn’t interfere with the cat’s karma.

0510

Q: Shu, I really went to Louwailou to eat their West Lake Vinegar Fish during 817. The taste was unforgettable… The restaurant was full of Daomis. Do you have anything you would like to say to the Daomis who have been violently beaten up by the Vinegar Fish?

A: I’ve heard that every fish that was made into a Vinegar Fish has died in vain?

1259

Q: No updates for three days, you could say that this is a version of Three Days in Silence.

A: You sure know how to meme…

and here's part two if today's double update! we've caught up to 3rd September now! hooray! and this is 120 posts (less than 120 questions)... theres... an amount to go... but! whittling! making progress! yay!

[luneariaa]

Hi there! I hope you're doing great! Could you write hc of ash lynx x fem reader? Which reader is exactly like gus fring in breaking bad. She is kind to people close to her but not with people like dino. She looks innocent and cute but not inside.

Sorry it's long. Please take your time. Thanks!!

HIII-!! 💜 thank you so much dear anon, hoping you are too! 💛🌻 you're fine,, and this is the first Ash req that i received actually,, (o´▽`o) ✨

honestly, i'm not too familiar with breaking bad, but did some quick research on the charac and stuff,, also, this is my first hc type of post so i hope this is alright! ( oh and Ash might be ooc here as well,, ) and i may have stray too far.. XD LMAO THIS TURNED OUT TO BE LONG AND OFF TOPIC AS IT PROGRESSES MY BAD--

also tagging : @bagelbanana and @r-e-m-i !! i've seen you both commenting on my old Ash post bef 💜🌻

- dividers by @/cafekitsune!! 🌻

to start with, your looks could deceive most people. some would assume that you're just a cute, regular girl roaming down the streets, when in fact, you weren't.

so this leads to some guys ( or so ) flirting and trying to make a move on you. as disgusting as you find them, you had to agree in a oh-so-sweet manner, giving them a certain location as to where to find you.

of course, when they arrived there expecting for some sort of a 'date' with you, they're receiving their dead end instead.

guys like that don't deserve any mercy, or that's how you have it personally set within your own mind. ( totally not projecting )

but also i think since you can't just carry a gun with you all the time, you instead carry some sort of a small switchblade.

i imagined that you, despite your quite young age ( maybe around 16-17 or so ), are able to manage your own restaurant, to which originally was owned by your father, who is a drug dealer of some sort. your mother is unknown.

because of how successful your father's business is with the drugs, you became the main target of the ones who planned to take down your father.

due to how busy he is, he wasn't that close to you. so you were left to fend mostly by your own.

he did train you a bit for some time, but eventually, he let a certain Kazakh professional assassin; Blanca to train you instead.

and i feel like Blanca lowkey wants to go a bit softer at you during training, and of course, you didn't want any of that honestly. your relationship with him is pretty alright, and you both pretty much respected each other at some point.

and there you met Ash himself, when Blanca was also assigned to train him by Dino Golzine.

okay so, i'd like to think that at first, you and Ash are quite skeptical towards one another. not being too familiar still.

but that changes over time, of course.

it started by that one, random sunny day; you and Ash accidentally arrived early at the private training grounds where Blanca was supposed to train you both.

the two of you ended up conversing with each other-- Ash being the one who possibly initiates the convo first.

perhaps it started with a compliment. maybe the brand new shoes that you're wearing? the view; weather? or even just random small talks. it's still an effort nonetheless.

you're highly aware of the current reputation he holds as the gang leader of the city. it doesn't faze you much, as long as he remains nice to you.

and because of this, you sometimes do heard about Dino himself. back then, you didn't really pay any mind, but did recall that one time where your father said that he did some sort of a drug business with him etc..

but by the way he is regarded, you feel downright disgusted. selfish, ruthless even. but is well aware not someone to be provoked on.

so despite all of that, you remain well-mannered in a way. for the time being, that is. ( unless something or he crosses the line )

but i can't deny the fact that i imagined that you might be finding yourself doing the side-eye at him while he speaks with others; even having the urge to throw some insults or sarcastic remarks at him. but refrain from doing so just yet.

you hate him so so much because of what he did to Ash too.

overall, you despised people like Dino for existing on the surface of the Earth.

SOME BONUSES ( bc lowkey low on idea rn HAHA ) :-

Shorter seemed like he would probably flirt with you at times, but you just laughed it off because it's like a normal thing now.

but Ash def isn't impressed.

knowing how long you and Ash have been training with each other, he silently grew fond and protective of you, despite you can handle yourself fine. i mean, you did manage a whole restaurant by yourself, after all.

oh and yes, Eiji's a precious boy!! you would 1000000% get along with him! <3

but be careful when hanging out around Eiji every so often; Ash might've steal you away from him. ( totally not jealous at all )

all of them def will hang out on your restaurant often when they're able to! 💛

also, random but i can see Ash is the type of guy to let his arm rest around your shoulders; doesn't matter while you're sitting or even standing. he would still do it out of habit.

i couldn't think of a proper confession or anything further romance related rn, but he will 1000000% take you out for a ride on his bike pretty often, especially during late nights <33

stargazing together?? heck yes!!

sometimes you just wanted to join Ash in whatever mission thingy or stuff he has to do or so; and of course, he would agree, but still deep down worried about your safety in general. ( maybe at some times, he would straight up refuse your offer. )

[libraryleopard]

decided to revisit the bingo that @kazz-brekker and i made in advance of s2 of interview with the vampire before i watch episode five tomorrow.

thoughts on things i have crossed off:

multilingual armand: speaks french and mentions he speaks other languages (french, italian, hindi?, english). still curious about him speaking kazakh in season 1! i wonder if that's a language he picked up during his time enslaved? i started going down an internet rabbit hole of researching stuff like the khivan slave trade but that is perhaps something better suited for examining after the season finishes airing.

lestat hallucination: actually didn't expect there would be that much but it's been interesting! however now i am ready for louis and armand to develop their own special hellish issues without lestat literally hovering over their shoulders.

lestat backstory flashback: more of an armand flashback but i'm counting it.

arson: they burnt down the mansion during the first group hun + foreshadowing for the theater burning has been heavily dropped already.

human rashid turns up: and he looks very fed-up with his bosses tbh.

african american expat communities: some discussion of being african american in midcentury france in episode 2.

daniel challenges armand's narrative: "disregard" had me screaming at the tv

armand quotes shakespeare: simply did not think they would let a season pass without having shakespearean actor assad zaman quote shakespeare and i was right!

lestat's wolfkiller cloak: wearing it during his confrontation with armand in the street.

nicki flashback: and he did not have a good time. rip.

biased armand flashback: and HOW!

french colonialism: mention of france colonizing algeria and also quang + tuan pham being from vietnam when it was a french colony.

some of these are probably not happening (james baldwin namedrop, josephine baker cameo), two are almost definitely not but i don't regret wishing for them (armand ate marius, bricktop williams comes back) and some i think will play out during the rest of the season so i'm just waiting to see how that shakes out (bi/gay daniel, claudia is queer)

[arom-antix]

Yuri!!! On Cards collaboration!

So, I know I've been pretty inactive recently, at least in posting my own art but for good reason! In the Yuri on the Web Discord server artists and writers alike have all collaborated to illustrate a deck of cards and write stories for each of them. And as a resident artist myself, I couldn't not take the opportunity to draw for this project UuU

Oh and if anyone was wondering, yes, I am to blame for inflicting this giant project onto the server BUT I REGRET NOTHING AND NEITHER WILL YOU IF YOU CHECK OUT EVERYONE ELSE'S WORKS. Trust me, they are amazing! The masterpost can be found here!

GIANT thanks to @lines-on-ice and @yaoiconnoisseur for helping so much and being amazing co-administrators and basically making this entire thing possible! You really saved me from my own overambition XD

The guidelines for this project can be found on the Yuri!!! On Cards blog as can the masterpost with all the links to everything. All the art that gets posted to Tumblr will also be reblogged by the blog.

With all that said, here's the actual art I made! (Break for those who don't want their dash to die UuU)

Okay, I lied. First, I'd heavily recommend for you to check out the guideline posts, both the general and artists' and even the writers' if you're up to it to get a grasp of the perimeters of this project. There's also some vague lore and AU stuff about the whole thing to find which will give you context for why the art looks the way it does to a certain extent.

You can also just jump right in and take everything as I ramble about it which, I mean, I won't stop you, the guideline posts aren't short. I will not blame you. You can still just look at the art. If that's your choice, go on ahead!

First up!

Ace of the Kingdom Otabek, The Deep Shadow

Being of the Kingdom of Diamonds, he's skillful and sharp. He moves quietly as a shadow and is just as mysterious.

Okay, I can't comment much on how he actually is, you'll have find that out by reading his fic(let?). They were supposed to be ficlets but as writers tend to do, none of us could manage that so take "ficlet" with a big grain of salt for every written work.

I've, by the way, not read any of the ficlets for this project beside my own so I'll get to experience the reveal with y'all and I'm gonna perish waiting.

Anyway, about the art. The yellow of course comes from the Kingdom of Diamonds' designated colour. As for the outfit, it's based on this handsome fellow I found who's supposed to be a Kazakh archer which I thought fit Otabek's whole shadow thing perfectly (and Writingfromtheshadow's fic Equivalent Exchange has me in an iron grip and I don't want to be released).

If there are any Kazakhs in the audience, you are free to laugh at me for any inaccuracies or missteps, I am but a humble little not-Kazakh, I don't expect to have gotten it all right UuU

Next up!

King Yuuri, Wanderer of Dreams

The ruler of his realm, he is as the mind flows. Kind and benevolent yet of fickle thoughts, the spirals of the subconscious are ones he both masters and bows to.

Again, gonna be waiting for his fic with everyone else but like. It's Yuuri. Anxiety is kind of a given.

In terms of art, I don't know if you can tell but this was where I started writing my will because oh my stars, what did I get myself into. If you follow me or my art, you'll know that I don't draw lineless. Like ever. And apparently I decided this project on a deadline that others were depending on me making look nice was the place to go all out.

And the worst part is that I'm not even mad at it so I have no argument to not do it again.

Anyway, the blue is from the designated colour of spades and yes, you've guessed right as to why this colour was picked for this suit. I'm predictable, leave me alone. As for the rest, the outfit is inspired by traditional Japanese dress that the Internet told me about (again, Japanese may laugh at me all they want UuU Your culture is very cool but also there was so much info, I hope I got it at least a bit right).

Also I spent like eight hours looking at hanakotoba for this and I've never been this happy about a decision I regretted so much while I was having to draw that many flowers. And you know I had to include The Gay Flower^(TM).

The Japanese iris is now Yuuri's btw.

All the flowers used are: Japanese irises, Jasmine flowers, Forget-me-nots, cherry blossoms, white roses, green carnations and blue roses (Viktor's flower. Read: I am predictable).

And finally!

Queen Minako, Tamer of Minds

Of the Realm of Dreams, she sees your fears, the snares laid by the subconscious and, strict and blunt as she is, she clears a path for the motivated and lets no potential go to waste.

Again, haven't read a word of the fic.

This one was by far the one that I made the fastest and I would've loved to do more with it but like deadlines. I'm gracefully skipping over the fact that I set the deadline and am fully to blame for being late.

But, as with Yuuri, blue is for spades. And since I wanted her to have a leotard but still match Yuuri and make her outfit look even slightly Japanese inspired, sheer fabric to the rescue! With cherry blossoms, of course, because CSP had the pattern preinstalled UuU

And I don't know if it worked but I tried to make her hair both look like her signature style, traditional Japanese hairstyles I found on the good ol' Interwebs and then kind of a spade by having that middle stick be the stem and the hair the spade's butt.

Also this probably goes without saying but the ranks of the characters are just titles. Yuuri is not married to Minako, she is just the Queen and he the King, don't worry.

Again, a BIG thank you to everyone who also participated, it was so fun to work together on this and see everyone's progress! Nic and Lil, you're amazing, thank you so much for everything you've done for this!

And to everyone who's made it this far, thank you for sticking around and please go check out all the other art and the ficlets! I promise it's worth it!

To the Wonder (2024) Ep 2

ok lets goo 2nd ep rewatch!

yap yap yap, where is the washboard eh?? all those bottles of beer and no washboard...

I really like the nightime scenes, filmed during dusk/dawn probably so it can actually show on camera, but looks like how night looks once your eyes get used to it.

Actually this type of death is quite common on cold places as alcohol makes you drowsy and because freezing is not "painful" you dont wake up so you comppletly freeze.

kept the bed broken, and this may seem like a basic continuity thing, but most productions dont even care enough to do that.

The conversation about taking the trail vs taking the highway is so familiar to me. And most people when they hear about it assume its about the dificulty of it when its not, its about confort and hability. Sometimes the trail is easier and faster, but you have to know and want to do it; while anyone can take the highway.

One of the moments that i refered to on my last post when i said that i think they rewrote her to be more city-like for the viewer to relate because how are you from a village and dont know how to handle a guard dog hahaha

the way i have been on both sides of this situation xd

damn no wonder they couldnt get the washboards, this man bought them all

I was kind of surprised when they talked about the hunting prohibition and the animal protection stuff being rural china in the early 2000s. I dont know if i will elavorate my thoughts on that

You can tell when Batay speaks with another kazakh that he sounds different and after learning that its yushi it does sound like his words are more scattered instead of a continuous flow. Then again pretty nice still, he does use intonation something beginners struggle with, but maybe beause mandarin is a tonal language its easier for them than it is between romance and germanic. Also im not 100% sure but he seems to be puting an accent when speaking mandarin.

I love the village chief because he is the type of old man that answers to your questions with a saying that you dont fully understand and then walks away holding his hands on his back.

they managed to include in this drama an average tumblr user with their blorbo

(also i dont recognise the man so i dont know if it suposed to be a reference or not)

simple yet nice shot, the angle helps with the ceremonial intention

Poor girl, fengxia was really setting wengxiu up. When one goes back to the village first thing is always updating on the community! or in this case introducing.

this scene is whack 😭 why the arrows askjfbsk

the differences between wengxiu who does not consider se has a "home" but lives where it would be considered her home, and granma who has a very clear home but has not being there in forever ( fengxia was born on another place) and has no links to it anymore.

ok that was end of ep 2. things are picking up from now on yey!

[random-kazakh-stuff]

There is a term in kazakh language and kazakh culture called tör.

Basically it is the furthest seat from the door in a room and is given to the most respected or oldest person or a person of the occasion(for example birthday girl). If you come as guests to a kazakh person then by tradition at least one of you should sit there.

The entire concept stems from yurts, and their cultural structure(i may make a post about this later), but also from the fact that guest culture is kinda a big deal here, and that being welcoming is one of the main characteristics that people will tell about Kazakhstani people.

There is even a little story about it:

Once upon a time a bai(rich guy basically) was out on a hunt. He spotted a beautiful saiga so he and his servants gave chase. They were chasing after it for an entire day, but just before they could catch it saiga burst into the yurt of a commoner and sat on tör. The bai demanded from a commoner to let him kill the saiga but the commoner refused as it was his guest, and was sitting on the tör. So the bai left as he too knew that the commoner could not let harm come to his guest.

End of story.

Saiga for reference:
