Ooooooh

So so torn

Because I don't wear my sarongs often enough for them to get much wear-and-tear, I "can't" (stupid ocpd) cut up the fabric to stitch onto my jacket...

Hypothetically, I could try and find a similar material/pattern in the US, but my sarongs are actually from Cambodia, and thus would have more cultural meaning/importance...

*sobs* maybe one day

I wanna see more cultural punk outfits. I wanna see more punks adding their culture to their outfit. I think it would be a neat concept. Embracing your culture and who you are and saying that no one can take that away from you. Fuck racism and fuck anyone who thinks they can take away your culture. Put spikes on your hijab. Wear a black leather jacket with patches of African patterns on it. Punkify that Kilt. Embrace your culture and don’t let anyone take that away from you. Be punk and embrace who you are because you’re amazing.

Me, non-american, not living in america, hasn't even ever visited america, looking at the theories as to where Metropolis, Gotham, and Smallville probably is located:

I wonder if I've just leave my ongoing superbat fic as I am visibly confused in all the languages existed.

Tomarang

Lanjutan dari postingan Tomarang berikutnya. Berhubung saya sendiri masih capek pulang kerja di dunia nyata, jadi saya review singkat, padat, dan jelas saja ya.

The Sims 4 studio team who did research for For Rent EP definitely taking many references from Thailand and Malaysia.

Boat = Thailand.

Colourful diamond-shaped lanterns hanging on cafe = Vietnam. (It's not Chinese lantern, very different).

Gazebo Rooftop = Thailand.

Squat toilet = universal Southeast Asian "traditional" toilet. Actual Southeast Asian style throw the water using Gayung as water container to the toilet to flush the toilet.

Painting on The Screaming Gecko cafe, there is image of temple. It is Thai temple. Wat Phra Kaew.

NASI LEMAK, the famous national Malaysian dish, Finally EA updated the correct mesh. And adding Coconut Rice to the menu which is not accurate.

There is no such thing as "Coconut Rice" in Southeast Asian cuisine. I asked fellow Indonesian Sims player and real life people from Indonesia and Malaysia... They are confused and don't know what is "Coconut Rice."

Apologize from EA accepted. So far the complaint via Malaysian youtube influencer worked. The only interesting about this Nasi Lemak 3D model is the texture. Too realistic for The Sims 4 food. As it is more suitable for The Sims 3 food texture without looking too cartoon. I can easily recognize nasi, ikan teri, ayam, sambal, ketimun, kacang, dan telur.

Painting on cafe wall. Beer and... Tiger? What's EA trying to say... Is it Tiger Beer? Beer from Singapore?

Tiger Statue. In Indonesia, there are many Tiger statues displayed on the public street and in front of military building. There was "Cisewu Tiger Statue." from Indonesia became viral on internet, due to its funny-looking tiger statue looks like laughing.

Thailand Dragon fountain statue. Yes, dragon in Southeast Asia is depicted as water serpent creature. The color is right, Green and gold. Definitely not eyesore in red colour like The Sims 3 Shang Simla Chinese dragon statue.

Dragons have long symbolized power, creativity, heaven, and good fortune. Thai culture also believes that dragons have authority over bodies of water, rain, floods, and storms.

Wet Market = universal Southeast Asian market. There are always fresh fish, seafood, and chicken sold on the market stall.

Florence Finch

Florence Finch was born in 1915 in Santiago, Philippines. During World War II, Finch was involved with the Philippine resistance. While working for the Japanese-controlled Philippine Liquid Fuel Distribution Union, she diverted an estimated 250 gallons of fuel each week to the resistance. Finch also smuggled food and medicine to Allied prisoners of war. In 1944, the Japanese arrested her. Finch was interrogated, beaten, and tortured, and by the time her prison camp was liberated, she weighed only 80 pounds. She later moved to New York and enlisted in the Coast Guard Women's Reserve. When Finch's work during the war was discovered by her superiors, she became the first woman to receive the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Ribbon.

Florence Finch died in 2016 at the age of 101.

[makapatag]

got a new update up on my slick bladepunk dharmacore progression fantasy web serial.

THE KNIGHT VAGRANT is like if Dragonball had Maritime Asian aesthetics and overtly Buddhist themes.

maritime asia? think the Maritime Silk Road/Nirvana Route: from parts of South Arabia to India to SEAsia to South and East China to Japan to Korea,, the whole shebang of buddhism's extent. keep in mind its only really inspired by maritime asia: it's still a progression fantasy at its core. eventual god killing will ensue, but a god killing guided by enlightened compassion.

imagine if breath of the wild was built ground up from southeast asian aesthetics, ethics, and traditions. xianxia by way of southeast asian hindu-buddhist-animist esotery instead of only daoism

writing progression fantasy (think shonen anime, growing in power is the point) feels like home to me.

blurbs and shit ya'll:

TS4 - Nasi Lemak

D E C O R A T I O N

Nasi lemak is a dish originating in Malay cuisine that consists of fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk that is traditionally served with anchovies, cucumbers, peanuts, and boiled eggs. The dish is rounded up with the addition of a spicy chili paste called sambal.

Although originally invented as a breakfast dish, soon it surpassed its original purpose and became the Malaysian national dish which can be eaten at any time.

Not just me, from Indonesia which is neighbour country to Malaysia, who are annoyed at the inaccuracy. Malaysian Sims player has already complained about this. Read more on Reddit article below.

Feel sorry for the bad representation, Malaysian brothers & sisters 🙏
