Damn, that Singaporean hunk is so hot. Any chance I can be a Singaporean twunk/twink to accompany him on his vacation? I could use a break from my nursing job.

Thanks for your booking with FWK Vacations. Good luck with your Singaporean hunk!

You wake up with a gasp, your nose filled with the musky stench of a man’s sweaty armpit. Without thinking, you start to lick, and you hear a deep moan from above you as you slide your wide tongue through the greasy pit hair.

After a few moments, your roomie lifts himself off you, grinning down as beads of sweat drop from his hair onto your lithe chest. It might be nice and cool in your apartment, you remember, but the heat on the streets of Singapore is inescapable.

“Thanks for the tongue bath,” your roomie says in his Singapore-tinged prep school accent, and you wriggle deeper into the sheets at the sound of his voice. “Now we’re ready to head out for the night.” He swaggers out your bedroom door to get dressed.

You lever yourself out of bed, savouring the musky flavour still filling your mouth. You can’t wait to make out with some guy at the club tonight and share the taste. With your boyish mixed race features and toned, twunky body, you know it’s just a matter of time. If you get lucky, you and your roommate will both pull tonight and you can have a sexy, sweaty foursome on your big bed later!

Enjoy your vacation!

[pookietsunoda]

Saw this post abt Alonso getting accidentally electrocuted and thinking he was 14 (as well as this tag on a reblog)

what if... the whole grid accidentally got struck by some deus ex machina non fatal zap that gave them temporary amnesia and they all became convinced they were 14 for a day? Here is what I think would happen:

First off, they're all so hyped about being F1 drivers and get excited about the dumbest shit (phone games, wheel guns, tire blankets)

Max and Charles fight each other over the Inchident

George is starstruck by the fact that Alex is an F1 racer (bc Alex was his karting hero growing up) but Alex didn't become friends with George until he was 15, so he has no idea who George is, which is Humiliating to fragile teenage George.

Half of them can't speak English fluently yet. Only the younger ones (Oscar, Franco, etc) know that google translate exists and they help massively in the linguistic problems.

Unclear whether or not Pierre and Esteban are besties or enemies, or both. They are one of those things, and they're insane about it because they're teenagers. Lance and Esteban are probably like Normal friends though.

Lewis is like "where tf is Nico" and finds adult Nico. Lewis is super pumped to hear that they both made it to F1, were teammates and won WDCs, Lewis is an F1 GOAT, and that Nico married his childhood crush. (Their life trajectories literally sound like what a kid imagines their future to be like.) And Nico is like "hey we actually had a falling out" and Lewis is like "that's crazy man, how would we stop being friends? You want some frosties?"

Immediate Spanish speaker clique between Fernando, Carlos, Checo, and Franco. They are shook that THE Fernando Alonso wants to be besties with them (especially Carlos since Fernando is his hero).

KMag and Hulk are probably friends since this is pre Suck My Balls and they're friends now so, their energies align I guess.

Being 14 year olds who find out they're rich and famous, they all want to escape into the real world and take joyrides in the expensive cars they own/ drink alcohol/ see strippers/ buy crazy stuff and their team staff is like OH NO WE CAN'T LET THEM ESCAPE (Thus ensues comedy gold of the team staff chasing kids who have the bodies of professional athletes around the track and trying to contain them)

If in Singapore, Yuki and Zhou manage to escape because they are 2 East Asians wearing designer and F1 merch and they blend in with the fans. (As a disguise, they swap team shirts and put on surgical masks and people are like "Is that Zhou Guanyu?" "Nah why would Zhou be wearing a Yuki shirt?") Word gets out in the drivers whatsapp that they escaped and they immediately get bombarded with requests for what to buy for the rest of the paddock. They cannot rly understand each other but Zhou can get around Sgp pretty easily bc a lot of people there speak Mandarin. He has to stop Yuki from breaking at least five Singaporean laws. They stuff themselves at hawker stands and have a great field trip but then get recognized and have to make an emergency getaway on a stolen electric scooter. They do get Lewis his Frosties.

Lewis doesn't know he's a vegan and almost ruins his reputation by being spotted by paparazzi eating Frosties with non vegan milk. Also gives himself a nasty stomachache.

Despite being told not to tell other people about the mass amnesia, Max and Lance both call their dads. Lawrence is like "My poor son! I will get the experts to look into this right away!" Jos is like "idc if you don't remember how to drive the car, you're gonna do it or I'll disown you." Daniel and Lando grab the phone and tell Jos he's a meanie and also was a shit F1 driver, then hang up.

George finds chewing gum at the bottom of someone's bag and starts spiraling, convinced that the Singaporean police are going to arrest and execute them all for possessing illegal items.

Lord of the Flies scenario where George and Oscar are trying to organize everyone to make sure they don't accidentally hurt themselves, whereas Lando, Fernando, KMag, Daniel, and a few others are just trying to have a good time and cause chaos. Bottas and Alex and a third group are just like quietly messing around in the back.

They come to a truce in order to organize a GPDA strike because they have been banned from leaving the track until they regain their memories. They barricade themselves in someone's garage and have a sleepover on the floor with lots of candy and games. Lewis finds a guitar and plays Wonderwall.

They wake up the next day extremely confused (but remembering everything) and race as normal LOL

[orchidsangel]

what are your thoughts on the short lived live action netflix winx show queen?

i personally couldn’t get past the outfits 😔

I loooooove questions like this that let me ramble about my interests outside of dc, also sorry it took so long to post. I hope you're still around to see it <33

Okay, so I vividly remember when the news that a live-action Winx was coming, and everybody was soooooo stoked (including me), and there was the craziest surge of fancast tweets ever. Like, I literally fought with someone on Twitter who fancasted Madelaine Petsch as Bloom, and I was like...well, no! Either way, the role went to Abigail Cowen, who actually plays Dorcas in 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina', which is a part of the Riverdale universe that Madelaine Petsch is also in because, well, she's in Riverdale. And then K-pop stans were fighting over whether or not Twice's Momo or Blackpink's Lisa would be a better Musa; it was just a crazy day. Understandably so; it's always a big deal when beloved animated shows are adapted into something more real. I personally was jumping for joy.

And then the promo pics were released, and everybody very quickly went, "wtf?" (including me)

Good god, those outfits were so fucking awful. No, they weren't, actually, they were pretty normal, but when you take into account the source content, it was actually pretty fucking bad. That was only a part of the outrage, though; a lot of it came from the whitewashing of Flora's character, which actually wasn't whitewashing but a completely new character named "Terra." Which. Is so...! they ended up introducing Flora later, but I feel like that was due in part to the outrage because, similarly to Bratz, Winx was partially so popular due to its diverse range of characters and cutting out the Latina character to replace her with a white one with the EXACT SAME POWERS is absurd.

Also, they whitewashed Musa, a fully Chinese character. The actress that plays her is part Singaporean, which, yes, is Asian, but they're not interchangeable. Even crazier is she's mostly European and very white-passing, so it's like, uhhhhh.

I do love the dark-skin representation with Aisha, tho, like they ate that ONE thing.

Okay, so now for MY thoughts. I don't hate the show, not in the slightest. I only watched season 1, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and the only reason I didn't watch s2 is because when it came out, I didn't have the steam to watch something entirely new, and I ended up just forgetting about it. I don't think the show is bad; I just think that when you remember the name it's attached to, it becomes very, very bleak in comparison to its source material.

There's been a very big trend within the past ten or so years where big media companies are "rebooting" childhood favorites but with darker and more mature plots, which was cool the first couple of times, like Riverdale s1, absolute gold (before it devolved into whatever tf it became) and the early seasons of chilling adventures of Sabrina. It was something new and fresh like Twin Peaks meets your beloved animated characters from when you were kids, but it very quickly started to feel like it was an easy way to gain an audience. Fate: The Winx Saga could've been something good had it not been attached to the Winx brand. But then it would've run the risk of failing (which it did anyway) instead of being an overnight smash hit solely because of the namesake. Even if people hate watched it, those are still views, and those company execs get their paychecks.

Like I said, I'd have no qualms about it if it was an original series, and oftentimes I forgot that it wasn't one. But that's the problem, it wasn't.

Making live-action versions of cartoons will always prove to be difficult because those cartoons aren't necessarily meant to translate into real life; that's the whole point. They're not real. They're different and original and have special powers, unrealistic proportions, and weird stances!! When those cartoons are made into life action shows, they try to make them as natural as possible bc, duh, a real person doing those things would look dumb as hell, but also, those shows were enjoyed because of all of those little things that don't translate well in real life. At least that's why I enjoyed them.

I feel like I'd be doing a disservice to even compare the shows because, in my head, they're not even remotely similar. Like it was beyond "making it darker," it really was just an entire show; there was even some continuity between the Archie comics and the bizarre acid trip that was Riverdale. I know I probably sound like a broken record saying how drastically different it was, but the laundry list of differences is so insanely long.

I've rewatched the original Winx many, many times. I know the pilot episode like the back of my hand and all of the major plot points of the first few seasons (bc I abandoned it once that 3d animation came into play). I supposed this is how people who watch movie adaptations of books feel, pointing out details that are "minor" but don't feel minor when you know the source material so well.

Here's a list of differences I can think of off the top of my head from the first season alone because I didn't watch the second in its entirety, so this is just from my understanding:

alfea is in Solaria, which...ughhh, don't piss me off. It's located in Magix in the OG series, along with the Cloud Tower (school for witches) and the Red Fountain (school for specialists), which, btw, were both axed as far as I know.

Witches are kinda sorta a thing? Instead of witches going to a whole different school and having their own unique powers, they live in hiding and are called blood witches because they blood bend.

There are no Trix, just Beatrix. Who is a fairy and an annoying evil one at that?

They are all British. Everyone is British. I don't understand why Bloom is the token American. I don't understand why she is the sole American to go to that school; it doesn't make sense to me in the slightest. Like, if it's a school for all fairies, then...why? And if it was only for British fairies, then...why?

Sky and Stella date, there is so Brandon; in fact, most of the specialists have been axed. (Helia plz come back to me, bae. I took you for granted last time)

Obviously, there's no flora until season 2...which. Don't pmo.

Ummm, the whole "the burned plot"? Which is interesting, I'll admit.

No transformations except that weak ass one they had in s2 that I saw on Twitter and closed the app in a fit of rage

Stella is a bitch?????? She's literally the definition of a girl's best friend, fashion icon, willing to die for the people she loves, and big golden retriever energy. And they just. They made her so awful. She does have a redemption arc, but it's just so...

I can't think of any more off the top of my head, but those are the ones that really stuck with me well over a year after I've seen it.

so what does this mean? This means...well, idk what this means. Like I said previously, the show, if it was standalone, would be absolutely fire i think, but the moment they attached the Winx name to it, it suddenly had really big shoes to fill, and it just couldn't do it, not with those major changes. So many beloved aspects of the original show were taken out for a bunch of new things to be added in, making it feel like something completely new.

If the show wasn't advertised as a Winx show and someone approached me saying, "Hey, ro, if you like Winx, you'll like this show because it's like a darker, more mature version of it." I'd be interested. But the moment it became "Hey, ro, have you seen the new winx show?" it became something else, something with expectations, which often doesn't fare well for live adaptations.

Sorry, this got so long, and sorry I took so long to post it. I hope this jargon made sense, I got carried away.

tldr: I fw it when I forget it's Winx

Hi! Just wanted to drop in and get to learn a bit more about your 🧠

3. Would you rather Transform other people or change yourself?

4. What got you interested in TF?

9. All good TFs need to have…

27. If you could transform one person into anything you wanted, who would you change and into what?

36. Magic or science?

37. Favorite thing to TF into?

Thanks!

I'm sure you want to be inside my brain 😏

3: I would transform myself and others, the thought of two of us taking over some hot jocks or super straight guys.

4: I was quite sporty at school and managed to have a spare changing room key. Let's say I spent endless nights enjoying my football / soccer team clothes as I had a crush on one of the guys. His scent sent me wild!

9: A great personality and willing to have fun with people, you never know who you can meet on here. There's two guys who I absolute loved but gone into thin air.

An Australian and a Singaporean. I miss those two dearly and still be here for them when they return.

27: I would change them into a pair of Nikr Air Force 1s that has been worn perfectly by the right person. They be trapped as the same shape, look, scent forever no matter what plus when I wear them, they can connect to my nervous system and feel the love. Plus it makes me turn young.

36: both, science is more fun!!

37: Into my amazing followers on here, I would enjoy being them for the day and get horny reading my stories by using their conscious 🤭

I love these questions btw 😘😘😘 Stories will be returning soon.

The drama about politicians wanting to deport the tiktok CEO (back to china) is so funny like guys ik he looks like an evil (redacted) but he's literally Singaporean he's your ally calm tf down 💀😭

[cometchasr]

so there's this worldbuilding/book project called terra firma, it's on reddit. they have a discord, where others also share their worlds. unlike them mine is literally fanfic of terra firma. i have two: one that acts a lot more like how kaiserreich is to vanilla HOI4 (basically a whole new world) and one that's like BNW to TNO (slight changes).

we have:

Terra Firma: The Red Eagle and its prequel Terra Firma: Red Star Rising. Basically if you look at the canon TF map you'll see that Russia is split and fascist. This is basically a wholesome Soviet Union timeline where Russia is absolutely not split. In fact they're a world power now. A very powerful socialist state very keen on interspace cooperation and whatnot.

Terra Firma: The Lion City. A Singapore-centric story. How has it changed? How has the collapse of China and the radicalisation of Southeast Asia affected it? What about India's rise? And deep down, the fabric of society. It is unravelling. The once-fiercely protected status quo of racial peace has been broken by the introduction of the other species: or will it be strengthened? Can Singapore weather the Age of Absurdism? This one is very fun because I live here. I will see what changes: it will be so familiar but not. Marina Bay, land of tourist attractions still stands, but other things have changed. The MRT is bigger and better than ever, cars sidelined in the eternal chase of a green city. Yishun has actually become a safe place to live. To a Singaporean it would seem very familiar: MRT, GbtB, MBS, Orchard, it's there. But at the same time, cars aren't here anymore, no Takashimaya, nuclear power, Siloso Beach is changed, restaurants are moving out. Singapore is different. It even feels different: the way people act, move. Welcome to 2068.

Kappa Quartet Review

Rating: 3.9/5 ⭐️

This review is going to be really short but this book is my underground-indie-I'm way better than you-nobody else knows about this-I think I like this little life-my little secret book. I bought this one in 2020 the day after Covid reached Singapore and my mum told me something about needing to read more advanced books so I can do better at english and I was in year 9(?) at the time this was going on... so this book was definitely way too advanced for me back then TT

In all seriousness though I do understand this book better now and I like to do a yearly read with this because of how good of a book this is.

I've given this book a .9 instead of just a 3 or a 4 because of the fact that it's quite forgettable for me 💀 which is why I have to reread it every year and can't provide a synopsis in my own words and spoiler warning this time. It's still a great book but if you're not giving it 110% of your concentration it's going to be a bit of a difficult read in my opinion. But, this is coming from someone who has a low attention span and only binges things if I'm seriously hooked (which is a really hard thing to do sometimes).

In general, I really enjoyed how this book is basically a collection of short stories of sorts, each chapter involving a character that is linked to another character to the next or previous chapter, and they all play a role in each others' lives. And it's really interesting to see the different perspectives on life between both kappas (Japanese mythical creature) and humans. Plus the tea is really hot and crazy in this book at times.

Settings are really vividly described and so clear in this novel which is really great. I prefer it when I'm given more specific descriptors on where characters are and what they're doing, because I'm not what they call a free thinker when it comes to these kinds of novels that involve sort of everyday, "common" settings (if we ignore the fact that Kappas are a part of the story for just one second).

What is also really cool was the combination of Singaporean and Japanese culture throughout the novel. Daryl Qilin Yam absolutely cooked tf up with this one because the way that he integrates both cultures between the short stories set in Japan and Singapore respectively, and with the characters of respective ethnicities was really unique in my opinion.

To wrap it up, I'm going to have to reread this one once when it's rainy weather so I can refresh myself and hopefully edit and update this review, but if you like whimsical stories that are quirky and get your brain working a little then you should for sure pick up this book.

Thanks for reading <3

Hey there, my country sucks rn and I’m tired of working a 9-5 in this freezing cold. Can I get a vacation as a Singaporean hunk?

Thanks for your booking with FWK Vacations. We hope you enjoy Singapore!

You wake up in the shade of a huge tree. Past the canopy, you can see the metal branches of the Supertrees, and even in the shade, you’re pouring sweat. You sit up and take off your sweat-stained shirt, exchanging it with the tank top in your gym duffel.

As you jog out of the garden, you see people turn to look at you. You know you give off a distinctive, spicy musk as you sweat in the extreme humidity, but it’s not like the government’s banned smelling bad… yet. A couple of cute little fashion boys taking Instagram pictures watch avidly as you wipe down your sweaty face with the hem of your shirt. You give them a superior smirk, hoping they’ll show up at the gym later.

Speaking of the gym, the monsoon’s gonna start soon, and you spend the hours of daily rain pumping up your muscles. You can’t wait to drive everyone else out of the free weights area with your Singaporean musk.

Enjoy your vacation!

Btw there were so many middle-aged people in my theater for Crazy Rich Asians and random middle-aged non-Asian men who are basically your normal, everyday dads (several of whom seemed to have come together which was the FUNNIEST and cutest thing to see). Okay, there were a bunch of young guys in their 20s and 30s who came too with their guy friends and it was great. I expected the audience to be nearly all Asian and mostly groups of women in their 20s and 30s and older women because that’s your demographic for romcoms, so this was an experience.

[lapeaudelamemoire]

I swear... you do not want as many heritage cultures to keep up with as I do, and you do not want to fall in love with as many people from different cultures as I do.

[nostuntmanneeded]

I have to admit being ignorant as well about CA. I am Asian but to be really honest, I'm not THAT offended about her Asian night post....at least not so much as to hate her to the core. I do try to understand why others are offended though. However, she has not done any recently, so I don't know how to feel about that. // Hi, I appreciate you admitting that you are not entirely familar about CA or not finding the post that offensive and this might seem like I'm attacking the anon who sent this but I'm not lol. I'm Asian (my mom is half Indonesian and Filipino and my dad is Japanese) and I was born and raised in Queens before moving to Toronto during my senior year then to Valencia for my studies before moving back home here in Indonesia with my parents and to say that I am damn grateful that I was able to move here to Jakarta when COVID broke out because my time in Canada was pretty much okay given that 'Canadian' is more of a nationality instead of a race/ethnicity just like 'Singaporean' and is a very diverse country so I didn't have that much issue with racism there but the racism I had witnessed and endured when I was in the US and Spain was traumatizing. The tasteless "Asian jokes" that everybody (includinh teachers) at school found hilarious and harmless was exhausting and so was being stereotyped and excluded and don't even get me started with the bigotry. The way white people so casually throw insults about Asians being cheap, low class, filthy++ is disgusting, like leave us tf alone we're not the ones who had toilet paper issues here when COVID started because we actually clean our asses with water (go ahead and get triggered Im not even sorry for this I'm so done lol) 🤷‍♀️ Also it's so damn hard to find a job regardless of how impressive your resumé is and when you do, respect seems to be non-existent. Most of my family works in healthcare particularly as nurses/medtechs and lmao boy do superiors love to make Asian employees who picks up the slack of their lazy and sloppy ass white employees as their punching bag and not to mention patients who are so damn appalled by Asians that they refuse to assistance from them 🤩 Studying in Spain wasn't any better, kids in my class were apparently so proud for colonizing the Philippines for over 300 years and found Filipinos stupid, weak and pathetic and also for some reason thought that every single citizen in the PH were dirt poor and uneducated 🙃 I have never seen anyone dress up as an "American" or a "Spaniard" for Halloween/costume parties and I would ask why buy the answer is obvious: it's stupid and it's not a real costume because it's a damn ethnicity. So why shouldn't this principle be applied to people of color? I remember a tip that was sent months ago and the gist was that you're only supposed to host game and movie nights, no one ever hosts an 'American Night' or 'British Night' because it's stupid as hell and is a clear proof how objectifying and dehumanizing the whole Asian night bullshit was. News Flash: Asians are people and Asians have their own unique sacred cultures and that's that. They are not articles of amusement and aesthetic. Appreciation my ass, white people don't get to indulge on the culture of the very same people they treat with so much inferiority and abuse taking into account that they either actively contributing or fully complicit to racial injustice and the oppression of people or color. There might not have been any recent reports about them actively participating in racism and cultural appropriation but never forget about how the violence against Asians spiked last year and yet this aSiAn NiGhT people didn't bother to show any sympathy/support for the Stop Asian Hate movement. And that is fucking repulsive as fuck. 👊🎤

Thank you, anon, for sharing your story!

It's stories like these that really educate people and give others a different perspective.

I think that we should start looking at cultural appropriation as disrespectful rather than offensive. It can offend people, but it doesn't have to offend everyone. (And even if one person if offended, it's still wrong.)

But it still is disrespectful. It's not OK to take a culture that isn't your own and act like you know everything about it and that you're a part of it.

行管病毒 Xīnguān bìngdú

Or in other words, Coronavirus/Covid-19

So basically any country you live in is being affected by the novel coronavirus, even the ones that haven’t announced any official cases of the virus.

As a caring blog should, we thought we’d put out a few things to know about 新馆病毒, and a few things about illness/sickness related Chinese Vocab. (Because we are a Language blog and it wouldn’t be fair to do a post without language stuff in it)

First off : info about the virus as we know it now

It’s highly contagious because it passes as a regular cold to those of younger age/without pre-existing conditions. If you have a cold, please, please stay home. Don’t risk it.

Avoid crowds over 200+ people, and don’t stay in closed off areas for extended amounts of time.

There is no cure or vaccine at the moment, and we’d all appreciate it if the crazies would stop making shit up. (Some evangelist in America says Silver Solution cures it. Like what ???)

It has a 2% death rate. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be worried about it. In terms of 190,000 people, 2% is a lot. That’s 2 out of every 100 to die.

Wash you hands basically all the time, but don’t overbuy supplies like sanitizer, or fucking toilet paper?? Who tf thinks “oh a pandemic. Better buy all the fucking toilet paper” we legit don’t understand this logic. If you overbuy, you’re stealing it away from other people who actually need it.

Travel should be nessesary only. Most companies have shut down all work-related non-essential travel by now (at least in the U.S.). Even if your not going somewhere with cases already, it’s still a risk for you and the people who live there.

And finally, “Don’t be racist. That’s just generally good advice.” ~Our Savior, John Oliver, on Last Week Tonight. A Singaporean college student was attacked in Britain over this virus and it’s just getting ridiculous. Chinese or Asian descent people don’t automatically have coronavirus, and how would beating them up help?

There is probably more stuff, but these are the main things. If there’s anything to add, tell us and we’ll be happy to add it.

And now, the language part:

生病 shēngbìng sick

咳嗽 késòu Cough

发烧 Fāshāo Fever

医生 yīshēng Doctor

医院 yīyuàn Hospital

新馆病毒 Xīnguānbíngdù Covid-19

好不好？ hǎo bù hǎo? Are you okay?

你生病了吗？nǐ shēngbìng le ma? Are you sick?

你需要帮了吗？ nǐ xūyào bāngle ma? Do you need help?

我病了。 wǒ bìngle. I am sick.

我咳嗽。 wǒ késòu. I have a cough.

我发烧了。 wǒ fāshāo le. I have a fever.
