Xiran (No Longer Really Here)さんのイラストまとめ

in this scene Chien-Po and Yao weren't "muttering gibberish," but an actual Buddhist mantra, Nanwu emi tuofo 南无阿弥陀佛

if you've seen Journey to the West then you would've heard it coming outta Tang Seng's mouth

I appreciate them acknowledging that Chinese dragons are based on snakes, not lizards

but then they've also considered that Chinese dragons are creatures of water, not fire

GEORGE TAKEI!!!

Note: George Takei is dressed like a Daoist Immortal, so he has reason to let his hair down i guess. there were religious exemptions for the topknot rule lol

also forgot to bring this up earlier but LOOK AT MULAN COMMITTING THE ULTIMATE CHOPSTICK SIN

(Putting your chopsticks straight up like this in a bowl looked like the incense offering to the dead so you were basically cursing the person in front of you to die)

yes, it's accurate to put a whole comb in your hair as an accessory. hey, combs are a great way to hold a GREAT HAIRDO together

the kids' hairstyles are spot on. kids were allowed to have their hair cut because...well, it was their parents doing it for them lol

Folding screen and wooden bathtub are accurate!

BUT THIS ENTIRE MATCHMAKING SEQUENCE IS NOT

I find it very unrealistic that Mulan would have to go to the matchmaker's place, instead of the matchmaker coming to her house

COMPUTER,ENHANCE

The strings of chilis and garlic ARE very Chinese, but chilis weren't brought to China until the 1600s. Native Americans didn't spend thousands of years cultivating crops like it, potatoes, corn, and tomatoes just for us to pretend like they were there all along

About this, I don't think I've ever seen "punctual" listed as a feminine virtue in ancient china though lmaoo. Most of them were in the house 24/7. They ain't got anywhere to be.

The mechas in my book are inspired by East Asian myth creatures, so like

Nine-Tailed Fox: Kind of like a mechanical Renamon

Moon Rabbit: Mech bunny with a pestle weapon

Vermillion Bird: Mech phoenix lol

Headless Warrior: Mech Xing Tian https://t.co/a68LRbcmLO
