“I know my place. It is time you learned yours.”

I always found it rather odd that Mulan’s merchandise always revolved around her in the matchmaker’s dress. She sang a whole song about not fitting into society’s expectations of her, and that dress was one such symbol. In an ironic twist, we use that dress to market her today because of what we expect young girls should buy into, despite the fact that Mulan’s character is the complete opposite of what that dress represents.

So here is Mulan, finding her place as a soldier, riding with Khan into battle.

Mulan is the fifth female in my Disney Women series.

(Also much thanks to my friend Archer for taking the time to find some Han Dynasty armor reference for me!)

from “The Perfect Japanese Words You Need in Your Life”

Feelings Beyond Words

Japanese is filled with a lot of beautiful words, many that don’t have a direct English equivalent. To me, these words are very metaphoric in that they express those sometimes ineffable moments and indescribable feelings. These are words that resonate in mind, body, and soul. 

“…No one. Puts a muzzle. On Toothless.”

and he?? Sticks his foot out and KICKS

dont even know if the dream registered that much detail

ROTBTFD: Superheroes Comic (Intro)

I imagined that this would be the intro of a superhero feature film. An introduction to all the characters in the midst of an intense battle.
