someone called my library at midnight asking for "lesbian Chinese cinema" so you can imagine why I'm here

happy to help! taiwan has much more lesbian cinema (that i’m aware of lol) compared to hong kong and mainland china, so if the patron considers taiwanese film to fall under the chinese film umbrella then they could watch spider lilies (2007), blue gate crossing (2002), three times (2005), what time is it there? (2001), or any number of other sapphic-themed taiwanese new wave films. if they’re just looking for mainland chinese or hong kong films the best i can think of are homoerotic films like peking opera blues (1986) or the big road (1934), since the vast majority of the mainland chinese and hong kong queer film i can think of is primarily or exclusively concerned with the experiences of gay and gnc men. if there are any specifically lesbian hong kong or mainland chinese films i’m not thinking of or not aware of i would love to learn about them!

You mention you had facts about Suklha awhile back XD love to hear about them please

Annoonn hii ♡♡♡ 🤩🤩

I do i do!! Heres a few Fun Facts ♡♡

Suklha likes to dress in brightly colored garments and thick layers, this is mainly because i was inspired by some centipedes who have vivid colours to warn predators they may be poisonous to eat!

Ive put Peking Operas as the main inspiration for Suklha's garments. This is because centipedes are known to move swiftly through almost leaves and rocks and more. To imagine an Opera actor who wears thick garments yet still moves so swiftly and naturally athletic without any problems is mesmerizing to me! I believe Suklha would be like that too!!

Part of Suklha's clothes are inspired by traditional Tibetan clothes, not fully but definitely some of it.

Suklha is inspired by Hundun! A faceless being in chinese mythology who is believed to be the central of primordial chaos. Actually, I wanted to make that fact as part of Suklha's story- so spoiler ig

Given the title "Bastard of Immortality" by the celestials, is also a reference to a chinese slang "Filthy egg". A small note to how Whatever is her origin, its most likely primordial enough to be connected to the cosmic egg

Suklha loves to riddle!!! So much! She might even deprive Wukong from any affection till he answered her correctly lmao

She has a sweet tooth!! And an iron stomach!! Which means she loves both sweet and spicy things, Shes eating best of both worlds fr fr. She doesn't like bland food though, like one look is enough to make her disagree from coming into a place.

Has a habit of taking too long to shower, her bodycare routine is like a wholeass scripture. She always smells good atleast.

The main reason why Suklha wore Yunjian (Cloud Collar) is because Wukong had enough of her indecent "chest exposure." (He's dramatic) Not because he's afraid, he believes if she isn't fully clothed, it'll give the sign that she's open for marriage. Now, monkey king does NOT like that. And such he always helps design her cloud collar from now on.

Suklha doesn't particularly like it. Made her broad ish shoulder looks bigger. But damn if she doesn't appreciate Wukong's effort to design one

The markings underneath Suklha's eyes are scars from her deal with some guardians in the underworld that went south. A permanent reminder to her that while she has more power, her own body and vessel still belongs to the world.

If you hurt Suklha enough, more Centipede like limbs and traits will show. She won't be able to keep her humanoid physique while being badly injured.

I have a habit to add more details to things i KNOW not many people will notice, but here is some things in their design.

Replica! Suklha. color palettes consist of White (Signify her death, since chinese people use white as a funeral garment), Purple (Signify her Immortality after death), Gold ( which is Wealth, power and prosperity, a symbol of her omnipotent strength also as a place of yellow is a representation of freedom and entering Buddhism), Red (Opposite of original, color to ward off evil, good luck, sign of happy ending), Gray (Wisdom, Calmness, unassumingness)

Original! Suklha, color palettes consist of Blue ( Strategic and thoughtful nature, calmness, security and trust), Gold ( wealth, power, Prosperity, Symbol of omnipotent strength) , Red (Makeup, Good luck) Gray (Wisdom, Calmness, unassumingness)

Original!Suklha has a much more realistic Centipede attributes in her tails and antennas, while Replica!Suklha is much more tamed. This is because the energy flowing through the vessel is different, one is dark energy and the other is new enlightened energy.
