Cool Stuff I Saw: January 2024
Happy new year!
Current events
- I learned the term 'identity tourism,' which refers to adopting various identities but without really committing to it seriously. (Link)
Farming
- I was writing a fic where a character was a peach farmer so I did a lot of research on peach farming. (Life cycle of peach trees) (Annual cycle of peach trees) (Watering peach trees) (Pruning peach trees) (Gardening peaches, with pictures of peach trees through the seasons)
- Mulching (Link 1) (Link 2)
Environment
- In the fic I was writing the other main character was in charge of clouds, so I did a bit of metereological research too. (Link)
Chinese culture
- I looked up a poem that someone had recited by Zhuangzi. (Link)
- Did some research on Xiwangmu for the fic. (Link)
Internet
- A cute picrew for bread shaped cats :P (Link)
Languages
- A graphic with various Cantonese idioms. I had seen this on another website a while ago but that link no longer worked. Fortunately, a kind stranger found this new link. (Link)
Movies
- I had this video bookmarked for probably a couple of years lol. It's a Japanese documentary video on the Taiwanese directors Hou Hsiao-hisen and Edward Yang and how they try to show Taiwanese culture. (Link)
Original art
- Learned about this art style called Hedkandi. It reminds me a lot of MyScene Barbie art. (Link)
Travel
- Some articles that aren't necessarily anti-travel, but they're meant to encourage people from over-glorifying travel. (Travel is no cure for the mind) (The case against travel) (Think Less, Agnes - Rebuttal to the case against travel)
Video games
- Pokemon put out a cute video about cubone and snorlax friends in the winter <3 (Link)
- I heard a little while ago that China was planning to introduce policies to limit the predatory behaviour of gacha games. Apparently it's been quietly scrapped due to the stock value of some Chinese video game companies nosediving after the news. (Link)
Korean Entertainment
EXO
Baekhyun
- Baekhyun's Instagram Live where he sang to various songs :3 (Link)
NCT
Winwin
- NCT 127 reacting to baby Winwin pictures :3 (Link)
NCT 127
- A playlist of the 127s' individual playlist picks for 127 day 2022. I didn't listen to all of them but I appreciate the concept. Overlaying their playlists with slice of life footage gives the videos a bit of a lofi girl beats feel, though I imagine fiming for the guys would have been rather tedious. (Link)
NCT Dream
- I don't think I've seen this performance of Glitch Mode but that lag effect is super cool. (Link)
Jaemin
- Jaemin demonstrating what a surprised fan looks like (Link)
Jaemin x Jeno
- Stumbled upon a Nomin account so saw some cute clips. Here's when Jeno was demonstrating what the Nomin shoot during Go was like. (Link)
- Nomin cuddles during TDS2. (Link)
- UM! More TDS2 cuddles where Jaemin cradles Jeno's face and Jeno looks up at him with his puppy face (Link)
WayV
Hendery x Xiaojun
- A short little fanfic video where Dejun is introducing his crush Hendery to Sicheng and Sicheng doesn't really believe it because Hendery was being all goofy. (Link)
