We’ve dealt with mommy issues

Now it’s time to start dealing with daddy issues!

mei and miriam drawings (with having shorter hair for Miriam in mind)

And we danced all night

I’ve never met nobody, like you

This move may be cringe but it’s the good kinda cringe

I may not fully relate to Mei Mei’s experience, but damn if those emotional moments with her mom don’t smack me in the gut.

Anyways here’s the girls in their goofy poses

Some more Disney Modern AU headcanons because I forgot a few things.

Mostly about the Disney fairies, but also about other Disney characters!

Oh, and catch the references!

Fawn has a lot of animals in her house, which include (but not limited to) a raccoon named Gruff and a bunny named Judy (who’d eventually run away into the forest☹️).

Baymax is a Psychiatric Service dog, trained by Tadashi.

Bernie and Jin have gone to high school together back in China (they were in different grades).

Sox liked to play with water and fire for some reason…

Tinkerbell would eventually get together with Terence (after getting over Peter Pan of course😁).

Ian is a Spider-Man fan!

Mei, Ming and Jin definitely have gone to China for a vacation at least once!

Character Color Challenge: Red

Drew this up weeks ago and figured it was finally time to post it. Each character here means something me in some way, whether I just enjoy the media they’re from or they’ve influenced my art somehow. Figured that would make drawing this more fun and a touch more personal.

Hope y’all like it!

I broke down and made a kin list haha. These characters are the ones I really relate to and identify with haha.

Girls Age

A crossover parody of Ice Age (2002), Girls Age, featuring Mirabel Madrigal (Encanto) as Manny, Meilin "Mei" Lee (Turning Red) as Sid, and Raya (Raya and the Last Dragon) as Diego. SYNOPSIS: Long ago, in another time and another place, an epic story unfolds in a world of danger and beauty when three young lives collide. 15-year-old Mirabel, who lost her way in her family and became a depressed and cynical loner, meets 13-year-old Meilin "Mei" Lee, who can turn into a giant, red panda through strong emotions. And once the two find a young cub, they set out to return the baby. Joining them is an 18-year-old Raya, who grew into a lone and resilient warrior with a sly and scheming complex. The three girls are forced to become a trio of unlikely friends and heroines as they must now try to return the cub back to its family...until they learn some valuable life lessons, including the meaning of family, sisterhood, the beauty of friendship, forgiveness, and the true meaning of bond. Their courageous and sometimes crazy journey introduces them to a whole, new world full of wonder and danger. Over the course of their journey, the cub touched something deep within Mirabel, Mei, and Raya, bringing light into their lonely souls and making them a family as the girls bonded over the little cub while braving the deadly elements and dangers of the primeval world. Ultimately, Mirabel, Mei, and Raya build their own family...with each other. Girls Age is an epic adventure full of comedy and heart in the trope of Family of Choice and Perspective-Flip, the story of a trio of girls who became a family...by sticking together through impossible odds.

Turning Red Detail

Obviously, a lotta this is gonna go under a read more bc of spoilers, b u t-

A cute little thing I noticed in Turning Red.

So this is literally just in the hair. Notably, Mei has super red tinted hair before she gets her panda.

It's not as noticable until you look at her next to Ming in the temple:

Look at that difference! Mei's hair has a lot more red tones than Ming's, because her panda (even though not active), hasn't been locked away yet.

Skip to the end of the movie, and look at Mei's hair in the mirror in the spirit realm:

That red tint is gone. Because that would be her if she gave up her panda. Even more interesting is that it's clearly not just a weird quirk related to only Mei-Mei. If you look at Ming at the end of the film:

The red tint is in her hair! Same lighting as before! The reason is that even though her panda has been sealed away, she's accepted it. (Someone else, I sadly don't remember who, made a fantastic point that Ming's pendant/charm/sealing pendant being a Tamagatchi shows that she's noticing and healing her trauma, which is so cool to me.)

Something else that's interesting is that Ming's hair is one of the darker colors of her siblings, if not the darkest.

Chen and Ping are the only ones who have similar colors to Ming, Helen's is the next, while Lily and Grandmother Wu are the ones with the lighter, more red-ish hair. (Another thing to note is that Wu and Lily are the more confrontational of them all, which could easily be said that the more red in someone's hair after the ritual, the more "in touch" with the panda they are, and the more fiery.)

As for the rest of the family, since we only see Wu after the fact, I can't be sure if their hair's also more red than before, and Wu's doesn't seem to have changed, but I think the reason Ming's changed so much was because she was so against her own panda (debatably, rightfully so, given the size and damage it is shown to do), that she tried to entirely bleach it from her personality (for lack of better term). Which is why her hair has the least red compared to literally everyone else in the family at the beginning, but came away having more than her daughter did before her panda.

Anyways, it was just a silly little detail I noticed upon watching it again, and I loved it.

Turning Red: The Epilogue

Hello, it's your dear old friend, Samuel Whitacre here. It's been lots of months, and now I'm ready for my 12th blog called the epilogue of Turning Red. I really hope you love my new one.

(After the events of the movie, Mei Lee shows her mother, Ming, and her grandmother, Wu, how to eat cake with her claw.)

Grandma Wu: Whoa, that's incredible.

Mei Lee: You really think so?

Ming Lee: Yes, it's actually useful. Where'd you learn to eat cake with your own finger like that?

Mei Lee: Oh, I taught myself how back at Tyler's house during his party.

Grandma Wu: Oh, yes, I see. Could you show me and your mother how it works?

Mei Lee: Sure. I'll show you precisely how to eat cake with your finger in our panda forms.

Grandma Wu: Hmm. As you wish, Mei.
