#stereothypes

[pink-strawberry-kissess]

Soft One: Mom can I get a playstation? Plaease!!!

Ada: How about you Play-some piano.

IMO Ada as a parent would show some asian parent stereothypes. And I also think she did force one of her kids to play the piano. Mabie even Ada herself can play the piano and she tought them herself saving money instead of paying for a piano teacher, as a spy you never know what you are going to do, you have to adapt, or mabie she just had a passion for muisc. What do you thik heart? Do you think is possible or she has some other stereothypes that are not the piano or she has none? Hope I made my point

sorry i ranted about racism and stereotypes

jdsbfjksd I feel like Leon would say that more than Ada would sjkdbfdskj

I have a very mixed idea on their parenting styles. lots of mixes of traditional and newer styles and mostly because i think some of the inherentness of their age would show. they're born in the 70s, brought up in the 80s. they're not going to have the same parenting styles as someone who grew up in the 2000s

i think ada would want their kids to dedicate their time to learning skills and bettering themselves and she would pride herself on any "talent" their kids have. leon would want them to have fun and be kids but at the same time realize that they do need to be in an environment where they feel safe and have the ability to flourish.

they both coddle them in different aspects but also spoil them in others. but they're also STRICT in various aspects also

they argue sometimes on how to parent. they're not the best at gentle parenting and can even be extremely strict at times but they grow up knowing that something about their parents was always different. hc that at some point when their kids are like 7, ada or leon has enemies that realizes they have kids and have come to .... collect?? make things even??? :)

i think that since we have no idea on ada's background we'll never know if she grew up rich or poor, on the street or surrounded by family. in china (or escaping someplace) or in the states. that can DRASTICALLY change how we interpret her childhood and how she sees what parenting and being a parent is like

i think it would be nice if she steered away from some stereotypes like piano, music, ballet, maths. like things that are so rooted in just CHINESE SMART YOUNG GIRL but if they can be approached in a tactful manner, i think that it's fine.

it's all in a manner of how you approach it, and i think that's also why it's so important to have someone like lily gao be the voice of ada because we have this idea of what ada wong is, but we (not me though, I'm asian) don't have the ideas of what living as an asian person is.

the entire issue with stereotyping ada as the sexy spy dragon lady is because yes, it's all inherently racist, BUT if we have someone that can pivot it in another direction so that it's empowering, i think that's SO MUCH BETTER.

i don't WANT another white person depict ada in any way. i think that it's important to have her be properly represented and in a way that's respectful and just faithful. a white person, no matter how educated they are, will never fully truly understand or be able to place themselves into a life they've never lived. even if we're talking about stereotypes or just racism they've experienced- there's all the tiny things that you don't see from not growing up in that life and experiencing it in your lifetime. i've even thought about how ada would approach microaggressions or even if other kids are racist to their kids.

but like something about, "bitch in the red dress," feels OKAY because i don't really associate og re4 ada as "this is a chinese woman" because otherwise i'd feel like ??? REALLY FUCKING OFFENDED? DO YOU GET ME THOUGH

anyways yeah i also like the idea of ada breaking certain stereotypes that have been thrust on to her because she's been playing this idea of what ada wong is. i just have a lot of FEELINGS about this fkbsjf

also sorry this was about parenting and i raNTED lmao

[thankyouforthememoriesworld]

If a player is good looking and doesn't be Griner or wear outfit like Taurasi,Horston and Cloud or be out as DiJonai...people will think she is hetero or will ask she is gay?She has a boyfriend? Too much stereothype. You see Marine be lesbian/queer and not Gabby, really?

I said at first lol, it didn't take me long to see her rainbow

My point of view on random characters from different franchises I follow.

Hello people! I decided to create this little format, that talks about my general point of view on random characters that I want to share with you! Point of view comprehends various opinions about certain aspects and (occasionally, maybe) some headcanons. Hope you're gonna like it!

Today's character: Joker (aka The Man™)

I love this character and you probably already got it, but today I decided to show why I like this man.

Let's start with saying that Book!Joker and Movie!Joker are two completely different people, both absolutely beautiful characters.

Book!Joker is a 19 years old cold, morally grey and antimilitarist highschooler/marine with a passion for theater, psychology and journalism. He's a cold and calculating debater and analist (he's an ENTP after all). This traits are usually not parts of the stereothypical traits of the role he has (the so-called "Poge", a role that during the Vietnam's war could be considered as a simple burocrat, not a direct fighter in first line. Them and the fighters, the Grunts, people like Animal Mother for example, kind of hated each other, this explains the scene in the pagoda where him and Joker are dissing each other like talentless freestyle rappers), and this makes him somehow "special".

Ok maybe not special but certainly different from all the others.

Book!Joker has a wonderful friendship with Rafter Man, something like a "father-son" thrope.

He also managed to create some homoherotic tention with Animal Mother by the end of the book but that's not important.

Movie!Joker is kinda more "cinematic".

He's more himbo: funny, smart, sarcastic and, well.

He's Matthew Modine after all, guys, come on, he's kinda like that by himself.

Movie!Joker is a breath of fresh air, compared to the other Lusthogs.

He's still fighting his own wars, together with his mates, but he takes it with philosophy and irony, knowing exactly everything that's behind this war and how useless and lives-wasting is (in fact he's absolutely against all authorities, just like Book!Joker), making him way more aware than the others.

Both Joker's versions are a perfect representation of a disillusioned guy who's disappointed by his own country's inefficiency and arrogance.

(Which is how I lowkey feel against my own country but anyway.)

And this is why I like him.

"No, sir. We bomb this people, then we photograph them. My stories are paper bullets fired into the fat black heart of Communism. I've fought to make the world safe for hypocrisy. We've met the enemy and he's us. War is good business - invest your son. Vietnam means never having to say you're sorry. Arbeit Macht Frei. [...] I write that the Nam is an Euroasian El Dorado populated by a cute, primitive but determined people. War is a noisy breakfast food. War is fun to eat. War can give you better checkups. War cures cancer - permanently. I don't kill. I write. Grunts kill; I only watch. I'm only young Dr. Goebbels. I'm not a sergeant. Sir."

Myths about Poland and Poles

It’s time. Let me explain you some things. I hope this post will be a nice Polish culture lesson.

I asked some foreign friends what they think about Poland and Polish people, what had they thought before going there, how it was different at the end, etc. And also I added what I usually hear and drives me crazy 🤦‍

1. Temperature

Polish person: “It’s cold” ; Foreigner: “but you’re from Poland..”

And what? I’m Polish and I don’t feel cold? Aha. I think this is the most annoying answer which I hear a loooooot of times.

People have really bad image of Polish climate especially when they haven’t stayed there for longer time. So we have 4 seasons (+ 2 transitional ones).

early spring - March and April when the weather is going crazy. One day is snowing and -10⁰C, another day sunny and +15⁰C. You never know :D So if you go to Poland that time - be prepared for that, take different kind of clothes.

spring - May - first storms, during Juwenalia always rains, but the first week last years was really sunny and warm - perfect for Polish barbecue opening season :D

summer - may be hot as f.ck or colder and rainy. Many storms especially in August. Nights are much colder than days. But - surprise- temperature around 30⁰C is normal. And because the nights are colder you can sleep well - you won’t melt in your bed.

autumn - colder nights, leafs are brown, it may be really beautiful. More rainy days but still can be sunny.

early winter - October/November - crazy like early spring - may snow, may rain, may be sunny. You feel the winter in the air.

winter - yes it’s cold, but outside. Inside the buildings - it’s warm - surprise. For example I don’t have special pyjamas for winter nights because in my room is around 20⁰C. You go outside you put winter jacket and boots on. May be even -20⁰C (omg wow omg) but then you enter the house and t-shirt is enough. For example in Spain - I’m dying. Winter in Barcelona and in the flat for 3 months 12⁰C - IN THE FLAT. I opened the windows to put some warm air. In Valencia maybe not that drastic (probably it depends on the flat as well) but still I slept with 1 duvet, 2 blankets and the warmest pyjama ever xDDD So please, don’t tell that I’m from Poland and 12⁰C in the room should be perfect. Please.

So in Poland it’s like from minus extreme to plus extreme - variety! I think I like it, I just don’t like that the weather changes immediately. But the most important - inside the buildings - nooooo extreme. It’s pleasantly. So please don’t say to Poles that we should be used to the cold temperature. It’s personal not national thing, I love when is warm and I’m “more ok” with the summer in Valencia than Valencianos (they should be used to that hot no? XD exactly).

2. Music

“Omg la polaca knows reggaeton songs”

“OMG there is Polish reggaeton” 

Ok. Music is a difficult topic. But yyy yes, in Poland they use to play reggaeton (fortunately or unfortunately). For example - in Warsaw and Krakow there are clubs: Teatro Cubano - where there is only reggaeton and some latino rhythms. So if you love to dance to this kind of music, don’t worry, you will find a perfect club for you. 

I really like Polish music, especially now I think it’s really good one. But I like others as well, I have Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, even one German song in my playlists because - why not - variety! And reggaeton I like for the energy and dancing rhythms. Also I like it as a “culture”, for me it’s interesting and fascinating - I can talk about it hours! :D

3. The look

“Polish people are blond with blue eyes” XDDDD hehehehehehhehehehehehhehe

I’M NOT BLOND - first thing to note. The sun in Spain makes my hair lighter but still is not blond. In Poland there are different types of hair and skin. We are not so white. And blue eyes are not thaaaat common. Brown, green, blue, grey - but also not that brown like Spanish ;) AAAAAND - surprise - we can be tan! Wow! xD There are people who have really white skin and the sun changes it to red, but mostly Poles are tan in summer and even I would say that we love to be morenitos ;) What is funny for me (here we have the Spanish myth) that I’m more tan than many Spaniards. So let’s repair the myths: Poles may be tan in summer Spaniards are not tan at all (the Latinos yes - but also not always!).

4. Location

OK. It’s geographic lesson time.

What I heard once: “For me everything what is on the right from Germany is RUSSIA” omg. Where is my patience. omg. Please, think before saying shits like that. It hurts.

We are not that small in Europe. We have 7 neighbors, OWN language which is not Russian (it’s juuuust a liiiiittle bit similar, like some words). I can understand somehow Slovaks and Czechs but Russians - few words. AND IMPORTANT - we have Latin alphabet! Not Cyrillic like Russia. We are Slavic countries, our language is from Slavic family, Slavs love each other (in their way of love ;* ) but each of us is different and we exist, we are not Russia - note that in your head.

5. Religiousness

This is difficult topic. Yes, we are mostly Catholics and we don’t hide it. But not everybody. Many people are very religious - and I respect that. It’s kind of beauty, traditions and everything. It builds the culture. The problem appears when someone forces others to own rights. When religious is an argument in the politic world. And this I agree - in Poland we have a problem with that. But when you visit Poland don’t show your aversion to the religion. Respect it and be curious - then you can discover many nice things, interesting traditions and some kind of passion. I love to talk about our traditions and you can see it in my posts about Christmas and Easter.

6. Safety

This is more region problem than country problem. I mean, everywhere you go - you can meet bad people. In Kraków there were “bad times” but it was long time ago. When I was living there I felt really safe. Many times I came back alone and I’ve never had a strange/dangerous situation. And I always passed so many police during the night. So I think in big cities the government cares about the security. 

Just don’t enter any places where you can meet pseudo-fans of football and don’t scream any football team name. This I see still as a problem in Poland. But I don’s say that going to the matches is a bad idea.

7. Food

This I’m writing thanks to the opinions of those who visited Poland and tried Polish cuisine. So what I heard, that some Erasmus were afraid about the food, that it may be a bad quality and not tasty, but theeeen - surprise! - Where are you from? - from Poland - oooo soplica!!!! (ok, this is not food) - żurek! - pancakes - placki ziemniaczane! - PIEROOOOOGI <3 

So if you haven’t visited Poland yet, you haven't tried Polish cuisine - be prepared 😋😋😋

And you have me to ask before!

8. Language

Hehe Ok, it’s not the easiest language in the world. But it’s not an impossible one! So if you are planning to spend in Poland even only few days it’s nice to use: - dzień dobry - good morning - dziękuję - thank you - przepraszam - I’m sorry/excuse me - proszę - please/you’re welcome - do widzenia - goodbye - dobranoc - good night

Poles will appreciate a lot! We love when someone is trying to say something, and we know that it’s not easy. 

And! I know some people who stayed to live in Poland and their Polish is - wow! So as you see, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE ;)

9. Character

Hmmm I heard that some of you were afraid that Poles won’t be friendly but then again surprise. Well, I think we are nice people xD We are for sure hospitable. There is always a bottle of vodka and some cookies for a casual visit.

English is not our native language, more and more people can speak it but still not all (well like in other countries). But we won’t leave you without helping you when you ask. Gesticulating, speaking slower and louder (because this changes everything xD) - there is always a way to communicate and express yourself. 

So smile and don’t be afraid of us, especially me, I don’t bite! :D

Meme to sum up

10. Famous Poles

I think you may know many but even you don’t realize that. So let me remind you or introduce you Poles who have changed the world.

- Robert Lewandowski - football player in Bayern Monachium

- Jakub Błaszczykowski - was a football player in Borussia Dortmund

- Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikołaj Kopernik) - Heliocentrism, stopped the sun, moved the Earth ;)

- Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin - composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era

- Marie Skłodowska Curie - (note: her first surname is Polish. And in many places they skip it -.-) - physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person and the only woman to win the Nobel prize twice, and the only person to win the Nobel Prize in two different scientific fields

- Tadeusz Kościuszko - military engineer, statesman, and military leader who became a national hero in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and the United States.

- Pope John Paul II - Karol Wojtyła - the first non-Italian pope since the 16th-century, the second longest-serving pope in modern history, one of the most travelled world leaders in history, visiting 129 countries during his pontificate. Etc, etc. We are really proud of him and you can see that - everywhere there is his name, a looot of monuments etc.

- Lech Wałęsa - statesman, dissident, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who served as the first democratically-elected President of Poland.

- Andrzej Wajda - film and theater director. Recipient of an Honorary Oscar, the Palme d'Or, as well as Honorary Golden Lion and Honorary Golden Bear Awards.

- Roman Polański - film director, producer, writer, and actor. There was a quite big scandal with him - no comment.

- Robert Kubica - he became the first and only Polish driver to compete in Formula One.

- Anja Rubik - supermodel, activist, philanthropist, and businesswoman.

- Adam Małysz - former ski jumper and rally driver, one of the most successful athletes in the history of the sport.

- Wisława Szymborska - poet, essayist, translator and recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature.

- Robert Korzeniowski - the best walker in the world, he won 4 gold medals at the Olympics (Atlanta, Sydney and Athens).

- Izabella Scorupco - actress, singer, and model. She is perhaps best known for having played Bond girl Natalya Simonova in the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye. 

- Justyna (Justi, JB) Biel - Polish butterfly with Latin blood, author of this (and the other) blog. Known by you, one day by others as well.   

and much much more!

11. Alcohol

Yes, I know, I shouldn’t forget about the most important - vodka. Yes we drink it, yes, on the parties, birthdays, etc. Yes, shots. We drink shot of vodka and then one/two/many sips of juice/coke/water/etc.

But come on, I don’t get why it horrifies you. Like vodka is 40%, rum, whisky, gin - all which you drink is also 40% and for me has even worse taste (especially gin, uff please don’t offer me that, never). Or tequila! Madre mía.

We don’t drink vodka with the dinner, like many people do with wine. Wine is also kind of alcohol I would like to remind.

And yes, we love beer a lot. And normal glass of beer is 0.5l - we don’t have smaller ones.

So, I hope... since now when I ask you to drink vodka on the before party - please, don’t be afraid and drink it with me, I’ll appreciate it! 

Ok. I think that’s all. I hope that since now your image of Poles and Poland is much better - the correct one. Here you have everything in one picture xDD

Im actually possitively surprised by jackson’s portrayal of the dwarves in The Hobbit; they are majestic, strong, stubborn…very tolkienish. But not without their flaws. And though sometimes I see them portrayed as walking-talking-scotish-stereothypes it’s better than being only a comic relief like Gimli on lotr, there, i said it🤷‍♀️

Sinopsis from Myreadingmanga

Soutarou Inugami is a shy and reserved high schooler interested in anime and manga. Although content with his lot in life, Soutarou also wouldn’t mind having a fateful encounter with a cute girl someday. Lucky for him, he comes home from school one day to find a girl sitting at his doorstep who he’s never seen before, but who happens to have the same red earrings as Meguru Satoi, a cool and good-looking guy at his school.

What does Xante like about his disaster dunmer?

OH MAN Ok, still have to figure out how they met and how did everything go, but definitely what Xante likes about Revus is:

He’s very smart and interested in the same things as him such as magic, Dunmer history, archaeology, creatures, weird niche instruments nobody cares about… Xante is just very happy that he met someone that shares his interests!

Despite his Telvanni origins, Revus is a bit of an oddball and doesn’t exactly fit in the Telvanni sorcerer stereothype. This is something that Xante relates to a lot, and makes him feel closer to Revus. Xante too comes from a powerful and important lineage but was always considered the weird one when he grew up, and to know that there is someone that knows how it feels like, the expectations, having to live up your family’s name�� these are all feelings that they share, and make Xante feel understood and like he can truly be himself.

He’s VERY CUTE. His smile?? His little quirks and gestures he does when he’s talking or deep in thought? Adorable

He’s just very easy to talk to. His down to earth attitude and eccentric yet bubbly personality make it easier for Xante to come out from his shell and let go of his tension! 

Even his pessimism is rather sweet, it just makes him want to cheer him up and make him happy again.

So basically he’s REALLY CRUSHING

Dear comrades,

My Czech friend is - how to say - slightly crazzy, but in a good way! That is fantastic and funny! She loves Slovak brothers, Slovakia, Slovak culture, food, language as well! She has been visiting mainly Vysoke Tatry (High Tatras) with her daddy each summer since her childhood untill she blinded, when she was 15. My Czech friend was born in Czechoslovakia in 1985 and she is proud to it! Her daddy helped to his Slovak colleagues to start a business in Kosice and Handlova. BTW, She have no problem with Slovak language, even with tricky aspects like "želva" and "Korytnačka", "borůvka" and "čučurietka", "velbloud" and "ťava"" and so on! 

Well, That is 100 % fantastic: Slovaks are crazzy, but in a good way. I think, Czechs are the same! She guess, our Slavic brothers and sisters are used to wear socks in sandals, LOL! She is, for example, not sure, if our Slavic brothers and sisters in Poland, Ukrajine, Russia etc., are also used to draw / paint "rhombus" with "line" inside and lines all around as a - how to say in English - graphic illustration for intimate body part of woman / girll. She realised, almost each nation uses some "tags" for that. She even purchassed funny book about Czech republic, Czech nation, stereothypes etc. for her friend in The USA and there was special chapter about this iconic tag. You can see this "rhombus" elsewhere is possible to draw / paint. Mainly teens find it funny, of course! And mainly non - Slavic visitors, turists, students etc. are slightly confused, what is  that supposed to mean?Well, You know - teens are teens elsewhere on this nice world!

Your acad. Valera

So i was called a "basic bitch lesbian" by one of my friends because I'm a walking stereotype. Which one of your Lexa's is a stereothypical lesbian?

I mean probably all of them honestly? FFAU might be the most stereotypical like “useless lesbian” but not necessarily “basic bitch lesbian” lol

[hetapeep41]

I just watched the old guard and damn i love the Joe x Nicky pairing, they arent in your face we're gay or stereothypical, but are a badass couple who happend to have the same gender.

Elantris by Brandon Sanderson

After reading, and falling in love with, Brandon Sanderson’s series “Mistborn” and “The Sormlight Archive” I decided to give his debut novel a go. And I definitely don’t regret that choice. First of all, I really appreciate that it’s only one book. Nothing more. While I love epic fantasy series, the number of books in them (Wheel of time I’m looking at you) can be a little bit overwhelming. Reading a fantasy book that’s not really a part of larger series felt refreshing. Even though the whole story is “crammed” into one book it doesn’t feel forced in any way. The plot is cleverly built with all the arcs nicely tied together. If you love fantasy you should read this, maybe while waiting for your favourite series to finally get a continuation. If don’t love fantasy it may be a good start. 

*Now comes the part where I discuss the plot more closely, so if you don’t want to know anything about the history before reading I suggest you stop now. I won’t write any huge spoilers though so no need to be afraid to carry on*

The first thing that made me keep reading the book was its premise. It’s one of the more interesting ones I’ve seen in a long time. The Elantris, city inhabitated by almost godlike creatures, has fallen. The Elantrians have changed into monsters. In the begining of the book we get the POV of the one of the people who has just turned in such a monster. Not only his probably one of my favourite characters, everything about city itself and its inhabitants is extremely intresting in my opinion. The way the fallen Elantrians function, with the pain of even the smallest bruises and cuts staying with them forever, slowly accumulating and driving them insane. The always present hunger, even though they don’t need food to survive, cause as many characters like to remind us “they’re already dead”. The misterious slime covering the once amazing city. And, finally, the magic itself. The mystery behind it. Why has it suddenly stopped working? How exactly did it work? The questions haunt Raoden (and the reader aswell) while he’s trying to find a way to survive in this dangerous city crammed with madmen.

Like that wasn’t enough Sanderson spoils us with another amazing arc of the city outside Elantris, the capital of Arelon. The story starts with two very imporant personas arriving to the city, which will soon become the field of their political battle. First one, princess Sarene of Teod is a widow of the Arelon’s prince (or “the man she has never met” again amazing premise and concept), she arrived to Arelon to get married only to find her betrothed dead, and acually already married to her. The second “guest” is Hrathen, high priest of Fjordell Empire. His mission is simple, to convert the Arelon to Fjorden religion in order to gain control over it peacefully. And Sarene is not going to let him do that. Through the pages of the book we observe their battle of wits, their amazing strategies and ways to deal with obstacles. It’s even more intresting, because Arelon’s political situation isn’t really a one of a stable country, people mostly hate the king and his system, so there can be seen signs of revolution scattered across the capital. It is truly a captivative story, in which every detail is relevant to the plot.

The only thing that wasn’t perfect in this book, were the characters. They didn’t feel 100% real, like they do in any other Sanderson’s novel. Let me get this straight, they weren’t bad, but for me, they didn’t have that special feel to them. Raoden was great, but he’s a little bit too perfect, although one might argue that it was author’s intention to create him that way. Sarene and her strong, feministic (not sure if thet’s a word, but well) in a way personality was also cool but annoying from time to time, falling in the stereothype. I can argue that Hrathen was probably the most original and intresting one. A priest who is guided mostly by logic is something unique I think. Plus, it’s always nice to see things from the invader’s point of view. Most of the secondary characters (with few notable exceptions such as Galladon, Karata, Roial and Dilaf) were kind of unmemorable and flat. Still I’m not saying they were horrible, just not as perfect as I know they could be. With amazing premise and general idea for the plot and the world characters were only great. 

My rating: 8/10 

In general I give this book a solid 8 out of ten, because it’s a good-written fantasy novel. Wordbuilding and plot design are top-notch, while characters could use a little work with them. Still the novel is intresting and gives you that just one more chapter feel. And I could write another book on how great it is it’s just one book not a series. You should definitely read it. 

P.S. just a quick side note I really love the Aons, the alphabet system similar to hieroglyphs in its concept. At the end of the book there are drawings of it, and they’re so pretty and I want to quickly adress the back cover of the book, which in my edition has hilarious text on it. It’s supposed to foreshadow the story, but it’s amazingly absurd once you read first 50 pages

Prohibited now Accepted

Teresa Castro Traslaviña

When I was younger and I tried to start into anime world, y parents were super stricted, they never let me watch anie, so in my childhood I had not the oportinity to see Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Dragon ball, or any of those series that were very common to watch every weekend morning. I just have some memories of random scenes from Yu-Gi-Oh and Doraemon but my parents always catched me and switched the TV, saying those cartoons were so violent and better watch Tom and Jerry or something else (ironic, isn’t it?).

I started to draw some kind of manga/anime style because it really cautivated me, the colors, the creativity, the esteticals and stuff, when my parents catched my draws, the prohibited me to keep drawing in that way (yay such a good choice to raise a kid) but it couldn’t stop me! When I started to get more access to internet Istarted to dig again into manga/anime culture, I remember I watched anie in secret, at school or at home, pretending doing homework, I started to love anime (for many reasons that I don’t wanna explain right now) I remember to stay awake until 4 am in a weekday watching anime under my blankets (those crazy days) and that’s how my love grew bigger and stonger.

I don’t remember how or when exactly, I started to talk about anime, watching it frecuently and not hiding it from my parents, they though it was a phase or something (?) then, one day with my boyfriend of that moment, we put a Ghibli movie on living room’s TV and mom started to watch it with us and she loved it! Then was with dad, was with “Tonari no Totoro” when he accepted and liked anime world, now he calls me Mononoke Hime >_<. Later, I started to not just play Ghibli movies but anime too, like Hataraku Saibou because both of them work in the heath area, I felt good bcause finally I could break my parent’s stereothypes and stigmas about anime and show them how beautiful and wide is the world and why I’m in love with it.
