Huang Juxiang (lit. fragrance of yellow chrysanthemums), Yamamoto Yueniang’s Peranakan mother and look-alike Enveloped in a mesmerizing atmosphere with a light touch of folk magic, Southeast Asian drama The Little Nyonya traces the story of its fairylike, Japanese-Peranakan heroine Yamamoto Yueniang from the 1930s to the present day. Its origins, however, began much earlier. Since the 10th…

More sculptures of dance attacks inspired by Ban Ji-eum's moves and the show's spotlight on Min Bok-jin's sculpture.

Human was shaking head as usual at the two-headed, three-legged zombies overpopulating their AI junkyard when it suddenly dawned on them that our perceptions of aestheticality and anatomy are not always valid. Oversized lumps and truncated limbs, for instance, are very much a part of our own reality. Although this insect artist did not intend to represent disability or real-life physical "deformities," some of the outcomes are all the same motivation to think about dancers who do not quite fit the mold.

Diffabled (Human is more uncomfortable with the adjective "disabled") arts practitioners would tell you that they are not some helpless, lowly class of denizens doomed to live on donations and empty kind words. They see the freedom to be more talented than even their "normal" colleagues they love and appreciate and can be more ebullient than anyone else, not least those not resolute in deciding for themselves what to do with their "complete" bodies.

Check out the previously inspired sculptures here if you've missed them.

A reminder to fellow writers:

Don't feel too guilty about loving a heroine you painstakingly created just because she's not a paragon of virtue. That's especially if you've thrown curses into the blazing Sun for her, and cried by her side at the edge of a dusk-lit world.

Necessity and Sufficiency

image

Even the most fervent critic of metaphysics must have pondered from time to time: what is the meaning of my existence to this world? Feeling hopeless about her prospects in grades-obsessed South Korea on the day of the college entrance examination, mathematically challenged highschooler Jang Dan-bi jumps into a rain puddle transporting her to a drought-stricken Joseon, where Sejong the Great…

Shrinkflated Reincarnation

The Busy Deaths of Death
soapver4.tumblr.com
Remake Idea: Death, clad in black feathers, twirls a pink rose glistening with mysterious dew between her long fingers: What's in a scene? T

ML: This is what I'm saying in the title: shrinkflated reincarnation!

Death: (In Park So-dam's sweet voice) The black math works fine. Let S be soul autonomy measured in fractions of its full possible extent.

S=½+¼+⅛+…, with new terms as good as 0 as the list goes on.

Multiply both sides by 2.

2S=1+½+¼+…=1+S

Subtract S from both sides.

S=1

Lo and behold, you enjoy full soul autonomy, beautifully split over infinite lifetimes in the remake. Next aggrieved soul.

ML: Send me back to my original show!

Warning: Viewers expressed discomfort with the extreme sadism in episode 5 of the original K-drama.

After A Long Career Passively (but Not Necessarily Bitterly) Hosting Characters' Romantic Moments Under

After a long career passively (but not necessarily bitterly) hosting characters' romantic moments under or in the vicinity of their canopies, what do trees want in their retirement lives?

What if their aged selves will have ideas of romance different from characters' ideas of romance and our expectations of old trees?

What if those with the requisite magical power have only stayed rooted all their lives because they don't want to be fan-less, threatened freaks?

In Calibration … "I'm Not Strange." (Jung) Other than That, Cheese In The Trap Is A Surrealist Drama

In Calibration … "I'm not strange." (Jung) Other than that, Cheese in the Trap is a surrealist drama which serves cheese-coated piano keys in a mouse trap, complete with a side dish of acrylic blood. Read this WordPress article to revisit the fascinating portrayal of human psychology that once kept viewers spellbound and made the recent turn of events doubly disappointing.
