Cool Stuff I Saw: March 2022

It's been a busy month v.v Next month will be even busier!



Politics

- I saw this video about a Ukrainian's views on the Russian invasion. It definitely reminded me that there are always nuances to major political events :S (Link)

History

- I was thinking of writing a murder mystery which is why I did some research on poison. I don't think murder mystery would fit the kind of story I want to write though. Will probably scrap that idea and start anew. (Link)

Chinese History

- I learned about the Pavilion of Prince Teng, which I found quite beautiful. It's been rebuilt many times, which I guess is why it looks relatively intact. (Link)

- I was researching some stuff about historical Chinese accounting practices. (Link)

- Doing some more research, this time on jazz in China. I'd heard a podcast episode about Whitey Smith but I'd forgotten his name and had to do some digging (Link 1) (Link 2)

Comics

- I saw a Moomin comic that I relate to heavily XD (Link)

Video Games

Fire Emblem

- I was double checking that DLC items in Fire Emblem games that are "only available once" means "once per playthrough" lol (Link)

Fire Emblem Fates

- After years of owning this game, I'm finally learning how to buy skills OTL (Link 1) (Link 2)

- Reddit user DonnyLamsonx recently put together an interesting series of posts discussing the gameplay characteristics of each of the child units from Fire Emblem Fates. (Link)

- Cake thoughts on Yixing's relationships v.v (Link)

- Yixing gets to join the Exo egg tray, though I think this is because of his role in Challenges at Midlife. (Link)

Chanyeol x Sehun x Suho

- Taonsil's thoughts on Sechanmyeon on Myeon's H4U. Even I do enjoy Seho, I agree that this was probably supposed to be a Suyeol event but they were too awkward together so they needed Sehun there to mediate and ease the tension. (Link)

Kai x Lay x Sehun

- Cake thoughts on Sekailay (Link)

Gender

- A thread about being a woman but not feeling like a woman. I relate to this, though not exactly in the way that OP feels. For me I do like being a woman, but I also don't feel included when some things are for "women." For me I think it's related to my lack of dating experience. I don't feel like a woman because I feel I've mostly been treated like a genderless adult and not an option. And I'm not saying that I need to be seen as a dating option to feel like a woman! I feel like a woman in other ways. But there are also other ways in which I can't possibly feel like one. (Link)
