thnk u @air--so--sweet for pointing out the tua prop auction, i am obssessed so ofc im now writing up my own transcripts for stuff. i bet someone else has done this but i couldnt find it so here's my record of it:

this is from Reginald's red book in s1 (i presume the dates are written day/month/year as Reginald is english)

transcript:

"#00.01 Behaviour Part 4 -When given opportunity, he acts in accordance to my expectations, and to my instruction, and only to my expectation and instructions. Further experiments needed to figure out the extent of his blind loyalty. -Unknowable at this time if this productive for the cause or detrimental for the cause. 4/03/01 Conducted experiment in which I sent #00.01 to this woods to watch for threats. Not only did he not ask about said threats, he found ways to come up with his own possible threats. He stood watch in a weak, slight base camp from dawn until dusk, without asking if he should stay on overnight. He is still there. -Is it truly best to have the best follower be the leader??"

transcript:

"5/09/01 Another experiment conducted in which I gave #00.01 an unknowable mission, but this time had him try to lead the team in his cause. I instructed #00.01 to take the team and patrol the state beach. Up and down. Until the threat revealed itself. Within hours all members had referred to pursue mission on such little intel. #00.01 never stopped. Even after the pleading from #00.03. Whom usually shows an emotional weakness for. #00.03 Abilities Part 3 -Makes one wonder if she is all the Umbrella Academy really needs. -Her full potential makes the rest of the team look like an afterthought. -How can I convince her the team needs her? Confounded at not being able to capture a non-existent opponent flag. Their petty feud seems to know no bounds. But if the feud motivates #00.02 in a way to suceed in that types of scale, so be it. Work-load Capacity Ranking 1-#00.05 (negated by disregard for rules and safety) 2-#00.01 (enhanced by propensity to protect siblings) 3-#00.03 (strength in collaboration) 4-#00.06 (follower) 5-#00.04 (untapped and unfocused potential) 6-#00.02 (could be 1st or 6th depending on mood) Discipline Notes -Physical pain yields best results with males. -Emotional trauma yields best results with #00.03 and Klaus. Especially when inflicted on others. -Separation from group does not work on #00.02."

transcript:

"-Sensory Statistics -Visual - 21.4% -Auditory - 8.7% -Kinesthetic - 69.9% -Disorders -Likely tendency toward Oppositional Disorder (ODD) -Maternal family history of possible sociopathy (seems incongruent to dynamics with Seven; background research ongoing ref p.49) -Phobias -Darkness -Solitude -Binds Effective Behaviours Modification Techniques"

disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.

Image description for the original post and my addition are underneath the read more at the end.

Thank you for reading! Once again, image description for my images and OP’s images are under the cut.

Just like OP, I’m only one single person, so if anyone wants to correct me or add something I missed, then go for it. And further disclaimer, there are exceptions to everything I’ve said in this post, and it only applies to East and Southeast asian people who are either not mixed or white-mixed, as those are the hair types I’m most familiar with.

Also regarding hair, naturally curly hair absolutely is a thing in e/s/se Asia. Our hair runs the gamut from loose wavy curls to tight, kinky coiled hair.

Blonde or red hair and blue eyes are also possible in Maluku and Papua, due to genetic quirk that has nothing to do with having white heritage.

On to types of curly hair Asian people can have:

[A picture of Sandra Oh with a long, curly shag haircut, wearing a pink blouse against a white backdrop] Sandra Oh is a great example of an east Asia person with curly hair. She has wavy/curly hair.

[A picture of Aarti Sequeria, an Indian woman with medium skin tone, shoulder length medium curls, wearing a green blouse against a colorful background]

Curly hair is also common in south Asia. This is Aarti Sequeria, an Indian person with tighter curls.

Then we get to the tightest curls.

[Three pictures of young people from Maluku or Papua Indonesia. The first shows two boys in blue shirts with dark skin and curly hair. The boy on the left has loose, dark curls and the boy on the right has dark red-blonde tightly coiled curls. The second picture shows a child with very dark skin with red undertones. They have tightly curled dark red-orange hair. The last one shows a boy with dark brown skin, dark ash blonde hair, and dark grey eyes. He is not wearing a shirt. End description]

These are all people from Maluku and Papua in southeast Indonesia. This is their natural hair color and texture. Also note how warm their skin tone is. As a note, the reason these are all pictures of children is that more often than not, those with blonde hair as children will have their hair darken as they get older. Additionally, note how the roots are much darker than the ends. This is because most of the blonde hair comes from sun bleaching rather than it coming out of the scalp blonde.

My family is from Maluku and I have cousins with the same bright red hair, and both of their parents have dark brown/black hair. I also have family who have blue eyes, but both of their parents have brown eyes. So while it’s very, very uncommon, it is possible for an Asian person to be blonde. However, unless you are depicting someone from these areas, the blue eyes/blonde hair is still very much a don’t do this, especially if you are a white artist.

Rules: Share two truths and one lie about yourself, tag five people to guess your lie and to share their own, make sure to guess the lie of the person who tagged you!

Thank you @brokendoor16 and others for the tag in this one, the original thread is super long so I hope it’s okay I restarted it! And I think that your lie is the politics thing, you seem more like a journalism or environmentalism girlie, but of course I am but a mere mutual and am probably wrong. 🫶

My three!

Once when I was ten years old I was on a trip with my parents at the ocean and I was snorkeling in an off-shore coral reef and I almost had a head on collision with what I believe was either a lemon shark or a white tip reef shark

I have in fact crashed my car into mailboxes three separate times with three separate mailboxes

Before I transitioned, I looked so alike to JoJo Siwa that looking back on it it’s almost scary how alike we looked, minus the terrifyingly high ponytail

Thank you for the tag btw <3

UH

ONE AND TWO ARE TRUE. I'M PROBABLY WRONG BUT I LOVE SHARKS AND I CAN'T IMAGINE YOU LOOKING LIKE JOJO SIWA SO THERE YOU GO

OKEEEEE MY TURN

I have a slit in my eyebrow which is actually completely natural and is a scar I got when I was two and my sister bashed my squishy little skull against the metal edge of our fireplace.

I'm very good at playing piano and can play Rush E with my eyes closed.

The only time I've ever beaten someone at arm-wrestling was when I was nine and two weeks into a bad case of scarlet fever, like the true Victorian Child™ I am.

I already did that on three blogs and am starting to run out of wtf events to relate, so uhhh ig I'll be normal for once?

I designed a tarot deck that people can actually buy for a local LGBT event.

I have a custom made ring with "veni, vici, vetinari" engraved inside that I wear for exams.

Despite my...uh...education, the maximum damage I've done to someone is a sprained ankle. I'm still very sorry.

Anyway time to spend about half an hour trying to remember anything at all interesting that i have done in my life:

1. I’ve only lived in India and the UK, but I have an American accent for English

2. I almost drowned when I was 8 and took the biggest slide at a water park but the lifeguard saved me

3. I’ve performed as both a vocalist and instrumentalist in a national band competition

No pressure tags!!

I'm boring :(

I have big canine teeth (for me - my mouth is pretty small), and the gaps in my teeth kind of make them look vampiric.

My first broken bone was when I was 9, and I tried to catch basketballs my friend was rolling down a slide which ended with my pinky finger getting bent all the way back.

I really like the taste of grass.

okay I'm hoping the lie is number 3 because I'm going to be fairly concerned otherwise LOLL

I knew French when I was young

I love to write

I had braces when I was young

hehe this one might be tough!!

two truths and a lie:

I dated a girl and got too busy because of extracurriculars and then as soon as we break up we proceed to flirt constantly x2

my hands bleed when i play the drums

i write lots of poetry

GIVE IT UP FOR DAY 15
