“Something’s Crawling In My House. It Slithers On My Floors And Smirks In My Walls, It Reaches Out

I don’t think people realise how easy it is to feel ugly when you’re South East Asian.

I know so many popular East Asian bloggers, who always get so many notes because of how elegant and refined and. Pale. They are. Those are standards most of us can never achieve. I’ve never seen a selfie set of a southeast Asian girl break 1k: but I’ve seen plenty, and I mean plenty of pale East Asians break 3k easy.

I know East Asian bloggers who go on about racism against East Asians and act like it’s universal. I know some who will talk about East Asian racism but never breathe a word about racism against southeast Asians.

I know East Asian bloggers who literally don’t follow any South East Asians. The ones who say that it doesn’t matter because “we’re all East Asian!” Technically. Or those who act like we’re a different breed and a different species.

I wonder if most East Asians know that their beauty standards get passed down to our countries. I wonder if they know how it hurts a lot of us.

So I’m giving a shoutout to every southeast Asian girl. Every one of you,if us, deserves to feel pretty.

I’m talking about the Indonesian gals with broad noses. The Malay girls who wear Tudung and are mocked. Chinese Singaporeans who are still not “Chinese enough” for mainlanders. Filipino girls who feel guilty about their curly or frizzy hair. Indian Singaporeans who are feel like they need to be pale to be worth something ( you don’t). Thai girls who are told their country is only good for farming rice. Myanmar girls who get asked mockingly if they’re domestic workers. Even if you are, there is no shame in that. Every Cambodian girl who felt bad about having thick lips. I know I left a lot of people out, and I’m sorry. But if you’re reading this and haven’t seen yourself here - you are just as worthy and my spirit and strength and good wishes are with you

You are all beautiful. Every single one of you. We are all beautiful. It’s hard to see it and it’s hard to feel it sometimes but we are. You are. Every one of you. Pride to our people!

gonna tell my kids that this is true love

Nico and Will seeing Alex and Magnus on a date while they’re on a quest, a concept 🥺 💕

The Pevensies are growing

The Narnians know their young kings and queens are just that- young. They’re children, and although they are far beyond their age in maturity and wisdom, they are in tiny bodies that aren’t done growing yet. 

Maybe Lucy, queen of Narnia, loses teeth (I think I read somewhere that Georgie lost some teeth during filming?). Shortly after she becomes queen, she’s seen missing her two front teeth. She has to request for her royal portrait to be done showing her WITH teeth. 

Maybe Edmund has growing pains. Not like, the mental burden of growing up and having responsibility thrust on him all at once- although that is true too. Like, the physical pains you get when you’re growing a lot and everything hurts. And he can’t sleep at night. And Mrs. Beaver has some sort of miracle concoction that helps the pain. And she bakes him cookies because she feels so bad for him.

Maybe Susan hits a growth spurt where literally nothing fit her. Suddenly she has to get an entire new wardrobe because she’s three inches taller than she was during this season last year. Her dressmakers realize that from now on she and Lucy’s dresses need to be made so that they can be lengthened, or else the young queens will be outgrowing gowns after only wearing them once. 

Maybe Peter is hungry literally all the time. He is growing rapidly, like the rest, and ate meals with his siblings, but is down in the kitchens multiple times a day for snacks. The cooks start preparing nice snacks for him because they pity this Growing Boy and know he doesn’t have a whole lot of time in between training and ruling a country to search around for food.

Maybe Oreius secretly takes special measures to make sure the kids still get to be kids. He lets Peter and Edmund laugh and joke and goof off during practice, because he knows they are serious far too often. He trains Susan and Lucy in archery, but gives them a longer break than usual when he sees them making flower crowns and laughing. On the first snow day, he brings a few friends to ambush them with snowballs outside Cair Paravel. 

Maybe Mrs. Beaver worries about them all growing up too fast. She sneaks them sweets when court life is particularly stressful. She bakes cookies with them in the kitchen at Christmas time, even when the cooks protest that they should just make them for them. When Susan mentions Lucy had a stuffed dog back in England, Mrs. Beaver sews her a new one without hesitation. 

Maybe all four Pevensies begin studying Narnian history, but their tutors realize they all still need help in literature- they are too young to already know the vocabulary of royal documents. 

Maybe Lucy comes to court with bare feet. Maybe she gets scared of the dark, and needs a footstool for her throne because she’s too short. Maybe Edmund gets freckles in the summer, and is always tapping his fingers or bouncing his knees because he has too much energy to sit still at court. Maybe Susan bonds with Mrs. Beaver because she needs a motherly figure. Maybe Peter learns local Narnian sports because he misses those of England. 

Maybe the Narnians realized that their kings and queens were only children. And maybe, as charming as the Pevensies were, the Narnians learned to love all the things that made them children. 

what do you think about the percy top/bottom question? this is what’s important

Im gonna use the words submissive/dominant really since it’s really more accurate to what I’m referring to.

I feel like in the beginning of their relationship Annabeth would be the one calling the shots. But the moment Percy gets his confidence we knows its over for her. “Don’t I get a kiss for luck?”

A lot of the flirting in their relationship is based on teasing/competitiveness/rivalry so I feel like that energy would without a doubt translate over. I feel like they would both enjoy being dominate or submissive but I’d say overall it would probably lean towards Percy more often being dominate cause the energy of the lines “the sea doesn’t like to be restrained” really has a nice connotation here and Annabeth 100% percent is like “Oh yeah I’m dominant” until she gets held down once. 

Also that anon that was like Annabeth has “bratty sub energy” is right, don’t deny it.

Edmund: “Lu, do you think that caterpillars know that they’ll become butterflies?”

Lucy: “Or maybe they are just going about their lives wondering just why they’re making this sticky blanket around themselves?”

Susan: “It’s 3am you two: Go. To. Sleep!”

……

Peter: *sitting up* “but do they know?!”

Edmund and Lucy: “Exactly!”

Nico: Get in the halloween spirit and make a ghost!

Leo: That's called murder and last I heard it was illegal.
