Y'know
if the original Code Geass came out today, a certain group of people would be absolutely losing their minds talking about how it was a "white savior" story. Said people would probably react to the question of "how is it a white savior story when 100% of the people involved in the production are Japanese?" by just calling the people saying it racist, before going right back to demanding everyone accept the latest Assassin's Creed game as being perfectly historically accurate and not at all an attempt to force Western expectations onto historical time periods where they simply don't work.
#code geass#code geass r2#lelouch lamperouge#lelouch vi britannia#lelouch of the rebellion#some people are wholly incapable of understanding that there are entire countries out there that aren't the US/Canada/Western Europe#and that they have their own agency to tell whatever stories they want completely independent of those other countries#well#unless it's China#but that's because China's an authoritarian hellhole dictatorship that wants to make 1984 a reality#but Certain People think that the only group capable of either having agency or removing it from others are Teh Whitez#so yeah

TOKYO -- A Japanese spacecraft touched down on the moon early Saturday, making Japan the fifth country to reach the lunar surface. But officials said they still needed to analyze the pinpoint accuracy of the landing.
Hitoshi Kuninaka, head of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, said they believe that rovers were launched and data were being transmitted back to Earth. But there could an issue with the power supply.
The Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM, landed at about 12:20 a.m. Tokyo time on Saturday (1520 GMT Friday). Japan follows the United States, the Soviet Union, China and India in reaching the moon.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
Japan’s spacecraft arrived on the surface of the moon early Saturday, but it wasn’t immediately clear if the landing was a success, because the Japanese space agency said it was still “checking its status.”
More details about the spacecraft, which is carrying no astronauts, would be given at a news conference, officials said. If the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM, landed successfully, Japan would become the fifth country to accomplish the feat after the United States, the Soviet Union, China and India.
SLIM came down onto the lunar surface at around 12:20 a.m. Tokyo time Saturday (1520 GMT Friday).
As the spacecraft descended, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's mission control said that everything was going as planned and later said that SLIM was on the lunar surface. But there was no mention of whether the landing was successful.
Mission control kept repeating that it was “checking its status" and that more information would be given at a news conference. It wasn't immediately clear when the news conference would start.
SLIM, nicknamed "the Moon Sniper," started its descent at midnight Saturday, and within 15 minutes it was down to about 10 kilometers (six miles) above the lunar surface, according to the space agency, which is known as JAXA.
At an altitude of five kilometers (three miles), the lander was in a vertical descent mode, then at 50 meters (165 feet) above the surface, SLIM was supposed to make a parallel movement to find a safe landing spot, JAXA said.
About a half-hour after its presumed landing, JAXA said that it was still checking the status of the lander.
SLIM, which was aiming to hit a very small target, is a lightweight spacecraft about the size of a passenger vehicle. It was using “pinpoint landing” technology that promises far greater control than any previous moon landing.
While most previous probes have used landing zones about 10 kilometers (six miles) wide, SLIM was aiming at a target of just 100 meters (330 feet).
The project was the fruit of two decades of work on precision technology by JAXA.
The mission's main goal is to test new landing technology that would allow moon missions to land “where we want to, rather than where it is easy to land,” JAXA has said. If the landing was a success, the spacecraft will seek clues about the origin of the moon, including analyzing minerals with a special camera.
The SLIM, equipped with a pad to cushion impact, was aiming to land near the Shioli crater, near a region covered in volcanic rock.
The closely watched mission came only 10 days after a moon mission by a U.S. private company failed when the spacecraft developed a fuel leak hours after the launch.
SLIM was launched on a Mitsubishi Heavy H2A rocket in September. It initially orbited Earth and entered lunar orbit on Dec. 25.
Japan hopes a success will help regain confidence for its space technology after a number of failures. A spacecraft designed by a Japanese company crashed during a lunar landing attempt in April, and a new flagship rocket failed its debut launch in March.
JAXA has a track record with difficult landings. Its Hayabusa2 spacecraft, launched in 2014, touched down twice on the 900-meter-long (3,000-foot-long) asteroid Ryugu, collecting samples that were returned to Earth.
Experts say a success of SLIM's pinpoint landing, especially on the moon, would raise Japan's profile in the global space technology race.
Takeshi Tsuchiya, aeronautics professor at the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo, said it was important to confirm the accuracy of landing on a targeted area for the future of moon explorations.
“It is necessary to show the world that Japan has the appropriate technology in order to be able to properly assert Japan's position in lunar development,” he said. The moon is important from the perspective of explorations of resources, and it can also be used as a base to go to other planets, like Mars, he said.
SLIM is carrying two small autonomous probes — lunar excursion vehicles LEV-1 and LEV-2, which will be released just before landing.
LEV-1, equipped with an antenna and a camera, is tasked with recording SLIM's landing. LEV-2, is a ball-shaped rover equipped with two cameras, developed by JAXA together with Sony, toymaker Tomy and Doshisha University.
JAXA will broadcast a livestream of the landing, while space fans will gather to watch the historic moment on a big screen at the agency's Sagamihara campus southwest of Tokyo.

Okay, one last post about Netflix's 3 Body Problem. I literally moved on (as in, I didn't bother finishing it), but today I saw a post on *** and some Chinese American saying the Ye Zhetai scene is the representation we need blah blah blah China could never. What triggered me the most about this is that the closest thing this person is to being Chinese is probably being born with the bloodline, probably never interacted with Chinese media. We are supposed to be in this together, and what are you talking about right now? There's a handful of Chinese diaspora out here who literally never bothered interacting with our culture (which is fine, nobody's business to tell them what to do), and then whenever America does any "representation," they are suddenly online! Sure, it would be nice if Western media started to be more diverse for us out here, but you literally can't rely on some white man to do it. You have to curate this experience for yourself if it's something you truly care about. There's no good excuse to not seek out things for yourself. The majority of the cdrama/cnovel fandom here on Tumblr (or Twitter) do not speak Chinese, but there are English subtitles on many official and fan-based platforms. Some non-Chinese danmei reader could probably tell you about censorship in China back to front better. Anyways, that's another can of worms.
Back to Ye Zhetai, I've already talked about it briefly here. It's not that deep, the scene exists to get people talking. It's all perfunctory, the banners are written in a Microsoft YaHei font (Microsoft invented this font in 2004), they do not care about the history behind it, it's to evoke a reaction in the West. Let's show this traumatic thing that happened in China, then segway all the world saving plot-line to England, is that clear now if that hasn't occurred to you yet??
There's a list of the media that stemmed from the Cultural Revolution on Wikipedia with one easy Google search. Did you really look? Did you watch and read everything on that list?? Is there really no Chinese representation apart from Netflix??? If it's not allowed in China, how could he ever write the book and publish it in China?? Did you even know about the speculation that Ye Zhetai is based on the real physicist Ye Qisun??
#third times the charm for three body - probably no more essays about this again i think ive covered everything within the 3 posts#3 body problem#three body#this is just not a good book to adapt to a western setting unless you change it to a western country revolution of some sort#which btw do exist idk why people act like china is the only one who went through a traumatic historical thing

Hmm. I have acquired a .obj file of a doll head that I was thinking about printing, but it is unclear to me what to do next or how much inconvenience or cost this would incur. All I have is a .obj file. I know less than nothing about 3d printing or modeling. I downloaded "Meshlab" to try and open and view it since google said this was a free program that could open .obj files but it gives an error so I don't even know how to open the thing : p
#the head was sculpted by a friend who has already printout out their own version#but theres enough of a language barrier that i don't want to hassle them with questions unless absolutely necessary#and also i assume any print service they used would be like. in china and not relevant to my needs lol

the rise of chinese BL content in the west has made people a) FAR too comfortable wearing traditional chinese clothing in the name of cosplay and/or insert character here """inspired""" outfits that are just vaguely robelike clothes with a sash and b) forget just how homophobic the people are and downright WEIRD some of the content actually is in china
#epitalk moment#idk like some of yall piss me off#when i went to momocon and saw someone cosplaying and it was straight up just a really bad setup of daoist robes?#half of u dont even know what a daoist priest really is please sit down#enjoy it but for the love of god#PLEASE stop cosplaying them unless you know how to actually wear it#this isnt like . aliexpress two-piece setup dawg people TODAY in china still wear these clothes#they do in fact have meaning#genshin impact has made you all so brain dead

ok but i'm playing through the operation anchorage dlc and i just wanna know if anybody's made a commentary on the way the simultation PEDDLES propaganda through its presentation and through the miscellaneous holotapes you find throughout the areas.
like. i'm sure somebody has. but this whole story of the lone, green soldier recording tapes home to his partner (re: molly) being implanted into a combat simulation... definitely giving "here's how we, the u.s. government, are going to train your hatred toward this specific minority group"
#txt#fallout 3#inb4 'yeah but china bad'-#listen to me. listen. me calling out propaganda is not me saying i support the fictional invasion of anchorage alaska#i am simply saying that it is an INTERESTING CHOICE to include this little side story in a *simulation*#bc if you're looking to evaluate combat efficacy... why bother with it? unless you're *also* rooting out those who may question your army#and their/their government's treatment of asians and asian-americans (lest we forget the uh. the camps. like the one in big mt-)#god i love me politics in games it's so yummy (positive)

Short little thing I typed up
“What is this?”
Yan turned over the small, see-through bag in his hands, brow furrowed as he looked at the contents.
“It’s a gift,” Houji said. “For Valentine’s Day.”
Yan looked up at him. “Isn’t that a western thing?”
“We have in Japan too.”
“Hm.” He opened the bag and pulled out a piece of chocolate. He glanced back over at Houji, eyes narrowed. “I can’t eat this.”
“It’s traditional.” Houji smiled. Yan muttered something under his breath, then sighed and put the chocolate back.
“Thank you,” he said begrudgingly.
“You have to pay me back next month.”
“Or I could kill you right here and now,” he said. Houji chuckled.
“Oh, could you?”
In response, he brought a hand up to Houji’s head and ruffled his hair. Houji narrowed his eyes.
“You are terrible,” he said, running his fingers through his hair, trying to brush the loose strands back into place.
“I’d have to be” — Yan smiled — “to put up with you.”
Houji paused for a moment. Finally, he pressed a kiss to Yan’s cheek.
“Happy Valentine’s Day,” he said. Yan turned away and closed his eyes.
“Happy Valentine’s Day.”
#my writing#maybe ooc but then again the characters have basically no personality in canon so who knows#anyway apparently valentine’s day is a thing in china but mostly among younger generations#and I don’t think yan would be concerned with that kind of stuff#but eh what do I know#not entirely sure how I feel about this but it exists#issue with writing yanhouji stuff for me is unless it’s after yan’s death or going really deep into the character’s motives#try as I might it just kinda reads like budget houtata#which it isn’t I swear it’s not (<- in denial)#I tried to incorporate little things about the characters and their motivations and stuff but idk if that came across#these tags are getting longer than the actual thing itself#anyway happy valentine’s day to all those who celebrate
