Finally got this one shot up! I’ve been so busy with life for a while and I’ve really missed posting and consuming ratld content so I’m really happy to share this with you guys. :)
Last month I (illegally) watched Raya & the Last Dragon (because we don’t have Disney+.)
I don’t think I want to write again what I feel about Raya; as a Malaysian from Malaysia, one of Southeast Asia countries. But I’ll try my best to summarize.
This very quick sketch from last month, is my spite after watch it. :”) here just basic baju Melayu, one of Malay traditional clothes. On her head is tengkolok, on her waist is sampin.Srikandi means heroine/warrior woman. Why I chose this outfit? Well look at her fighting scenes and she’s gay to Namaari. I like her to wear masculine clothes. Hope I can explore more of THIS Raya I did when I have freetime.
The story is kinda okay, enjoyable, generic-ly normal IF we put SEA rep aside. The only good thing about Raya to me are FIGHT SCENES <3 and that homoerotic tension between Raya and Namaari.
Overall, aint pat Didknee’s back for doing the bare minimum there. Even the old concept arts looked like they’re more to East Asia than SEA. Mouse Corporate invest their money to R&D and this is what they produced??? If they didn’t market SEA rep so hard + media didn’t put Didknee on pedestal, then we’re still okay I guess. :/
OR, pick one of SEA countries’ fairytales and we’re hype regardless??? Each SEA countries have lots of diverse fairytales about princesses and deities???? (AND DONT LET ME START ON SISU DRAGON)
Oh welp, past is in the past.
With that, support Southeast Asian artists, writers, creatives & creators, y’alls. Support me. :) Besides Malaysia, if there’s other SEA countries’ version of Raya (Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, Timor-Leste, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, Brunei), go and support, reblog, support them.
Le prochain Disney va demeurer mystérieux pendant encore un bon moment puisque celui-ci a donc été repoussé de novembre à mars 2021 avec pour date française le 31 mars, soit quasi 3 semaines après les US et presque 1 an d’attente à partir d’aujourd’hui !! Mais je crois que ces nouvelles héroïnes méritent qu’on attende patiemment leur éveil…
I haven’t been on here in forever but I saw Raya and the Last Dragon last night and I have never shipped anything harder than Raya and Namaari have a nice day
