minjae must feel the weight of the world on his shoulders i swear, do you know what it’s like being one of the only players in the world of your ethnicity to play on the big stage? to have this feeling of not only representing your nation, but your entire continent? players like sonny and minjae go through so much turmoil because if they have a bad day it’s not just about them, it’s about their race. because the people they represent are invisible in football. because the leagues they come from are dismissed by even the most progressive football fan as ‘lesser.’ they had to work thrice as hard as your average footballer and have gone through such a specific kind of racism that is often erased and seen as invalid because they’re asian. every kick of the ball they take is so precious to me because they defied the odds, they let the words roll off their backs, they gave people hope that they can be visible in football. and yet they will always go through that same vile racism until we talk about the specific racism that asian players face as underrepresented people in world football instead of brushing it under the rug because they’re not part of your club.

Listen, I don't know how other people get into zodiac and astrology stuff, but, for me? I got shown the Chinese zodiac as a young child and told that everyone is categorized by it as one of these twelve animals. And when I asked which one I was? I get told, "The Dragon."

And like.

What are you supposed to do after hearing something like that?

Not care about this stuff?

That's not how small children work.

JTTW Chapter 36 Thoughts

Chapter 36 for the @journeythroughjourneytothewest Reading Group!

We’ve got creatures galore this time around!

Why can’t you give us the slice of life, huh? Why can’t you, the people want to read fluff too! I know I’d love to.

So as I’m attempting to keep track of the passage of time stated in the text there seems to have been a timeskip of multiple years. The changing of seasons up until last chapter only indicated around one and a half years passing, so either Tang Sanzang is exaggerating and only half a year to one year passes, so definitely one Winter since the narration mentioned frost, or it’s really been a couple of years.

Deer, deer, deer! No fallow deer, those are muntjac deer in the Chinese Original. Cute in the silliest way.

River deer basically yes, our lovely goofy Chinese Water Deer.

Now hold it! Those are not wolves! In the Chinese Original they are either Dholes or a kind of jackal. All three are in the family of Canidae. The wolf shares the Canis genus with jackals, while dholes and jackals are of the same tribe Canini.

I’m leaning more towards Cuon Alpinus so Dholes, which range throughout Asia and are also called Red Wolf or Mountain Wolf, but that might also be personal bias for I watched the Wild Kratts episode on them.

They are really social even more so than wolves and just overall very sweet. However they are classed as endangered!

They also come in a fluffy variant.

Jackals are really neat too though, here it might specifically be the Canis Aureus commonly known as Golden Jackal, which are native to Eurasia.

From Anthony C. Yu’s notes I concur the Vajra-guardians definitely do not look like cherubs neither the modern version nor the biblically accurate one. But they might be somewhat similar in function! Cherubim are assigned to protect special places as one of their jobs, so that guardian function might be the similarity that led to the comparison.

Tang Sanzang getting pouty is so endearing, much more than any ‘scared of demon’ instance.

Though in my opinion the monastery should have been able to kick out those guys that were causing needless trouble over multiple years. Give aid to fellow people yes, but if they knowingly and wilfully act out like that they rescind their right to stay.

Again with the property damage, Sun Wukong might have already cut down on violence against people, but no door is safe from him still.

Dragon for December's sticker club, since 2024's gonna be the year of the dragon 🐉 I'll be sending the physical stickers out, along with the Spy n Weenie zines, over the weekend! Check ko-fi for the high res image downloads!

This design is based on a Liu Song dynasty winged dragon. I wanted my design to reference something more stylized than the standard mustached Chinese dragon, more like the lanky deer that its horns are based off of.

Visit to china is enriching me bigly with 2 giant ass badges of honor (one of which I'll give away to my mom because I haven't actually yet read MZDS. I am starting out slow with being a TGCF fan first. (I know most people think this progression is insane but. I like immortal characters and gods and doom and tragedy and pain. Ok?))
