That's....incredible. I guess since Y2K fashion is back, we'll see a gross resurgence of hair chopsticks and shirts with messages in "Chinese".

I thought my buddy that did that for awhile came up with it on their own or something. Then again, their interest was Japanese stuff, not Chinese, so maybe it was just a coincidence?

#3 heree: https://www.mic.com/articles/120779/here-are-the-cultural-appropriating-outfits-it-s-time-to-retire-for-good (lmao wow some of these outfits) I remember seeing this in Delias's catalogs and the like back in the late 90s. Claire's definitely sold "hair chopsticks" and I remember a Seventeen magazine blurbicle that recommended getting chopsticks from a Chinese restaurant for free instead of buying hair sticks. I guess it's more the weird "Asian" aesthetic that accompanies it. (Disclaimer: I know hair sticks and chopsticks are not the same thing and that hair sticks are found in many cultures, but I definitely remember seeing these when there was a rise in weird Asian appropriation fashion, like the aforementioned weird "Asian character" shirts and mandarin-collar dresses. Which you only ever saw modeled by blonde white models. And they were for sure called "hair chopsticks" on packaging sometimes.) Fleta Mcgurn fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Feb 2, 2022 |

McGavin posted:Tigers are so hard to draw that Canada didn't even bother. This is what we got for Year of the Pig though: Forgive the stupid question: But what is this characters name? In the English Dub of Monkey, (the coolest TV version of Journey to the West), his name was "Pigsy". But that surely can't be his real name. Just as Monkey's real name was Sun WuKong. And whichever kind heart answers this stupid question, I would also like to know the real name of the character I knew as "Sandy", (the kappa). I again apologize for my ignorance, and laziness in not just looking this poo poo up.

BrigadierSensible posted:Forgive the stupid question: Zhu Bajie, which translates out to something like "Pig of the Eight Prohibitions." The other is Sha Wujing, which comes out to "Sand Aware of Purity." In both cases the first character is just "pig" and "sand," and the last two characters are some Buddhist principle or other (since they were given those names by Guanying when they agreed to become disciples of Tangzang.) So yeah, "Pigsy" and "Sandy" honestly aren't far off. (Incidentally calling someone "Zhu Bajie" is still a common way for someone to be accused of laziness, gluttony, etc.) Edit: It should be no surprise that Pigsy breaks almost every one of the Eight Prohibitions along Journey to the West.

Zhu Bajie rules because like 50% of the times the crew gets in trouble in Journey to the West, it's because of Bajie chasing booze, food, or pussy. The remainder is demons trying to eat Xuanzhang, or Wukong losing his poo poo and murdering randos I honestly forget what Wujing does, if anything. Probably just sighs and curses his fate to be bound to these lunatics.

Tupperwarez posted:I honestly forget what Wujing does, if anything. Probably just sighs and curses his fate to be bound to these lunatics. Wujing's thing is basically being the reliable, steady one who does his job, keeps on keeping on, and never freaks out or throws a hissy fit like the other two prima donnas. A fair number of times the other two will suggest "Whelp, that's it, pack it in, we're done" after Tangzang gets his rear end kidnapped AGAIN and Wujing is usually the one going "No, no, this is important guys, we gotta keep trying." He's also usually the one guarding the luggage while the other two are off swanning around being big old heroes/idiots, and being a water demon he tends to show up a lot when the monster of the week is water-based, but the story structure being what it is this usually means "Tries to lure the demon to the surface so Wukong can beat the crap out of him only for it to fail when the demon freaks out about how strong Wukong is and proceeds to never leave the water again" or else "fights the demon to a standstill but can't do anything else until Wukong figures out some cunning plan." I don't recall off the top of my head a scenario in which Wujing ever goes and solves (or for that matter causes) the problem through his own strength, he's pretty much always a supporting character. So yeah, not that surprising that it's easy to forget that he exists. I like him, though, he's kind of the pillar of the group in his own soft-spoken way.
