One Dress a Day Challenge
Black and White October
Miss S / Ma Yili as Su Wenli
I love the unusual neckline on this dress! The sheer material in the yoke really sets off the lace around the edge of the neckline and makes it look almost like she's wearing a choker that is tied to the main part of the dress by the fastening. The material used for the body of the dress looks rather homespun, with plenty of texture, which contrasts interestingly with the lacy trim. Her shoes are very pretty too.
(Screencaps are from "Death by the Music Box" and "The Deadly Mill.")

The unique ethnic minority experience of seeing a vintage piece of traditional clothing of your culture on sale labelled as “ethnic-inspired” by a white reseller to a white audience, and then going absolutely feral bidding for it because you feel like you have to rescue it for your own culture.
#BAME#ethnic minority#the number of qipaos and cheongsam’s I’ve seen sold by white people using them as Halloween or sexualised outfits#with an ethnic twist apparently#i will use my disposable income to bring it safely back into my culture#even if it doesn’t fit me I can give it to someone else who will treasure it and respect it

Bi-Han x Fem!Reader - Arranged Marriage HCS (Part II)
A/N: AHHH finally. part dos. its really late cuz i lowkey forgot to set a timer for this to post soooooo my bad. anyways part 2 is also long so buckle up.
.·:*¨ ¨*:·..·:*¨ ¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨ ¨*:·..·:*¨ ¨*:·.
It's finally the day of the wedding, how will this go?:
- Today's the day. Bi-han's most dreaded event. The wedding.
- The preparations were hell. Maids and workers frantically running around, making sure everything was perfect. Bi-han hated it.
- He wanted to train today, but his father forbade him from it, as the preparation's would take up most of the day and, "He cant have the groom be late for his own wedding".
- Bi-han was in a sour mood all day, everyone in the venue avoided him like the plague in fear that they would be the next victim he would verbally attack.
- He just didn't understand. If this wedding's sole purpose was to seal in the alliance for good, why go all out? its not like its an actual normal wedding, it was just . . . so fucking stupid.
- After a few hours, the venue was complete. It was beautiful, various decorations such as flowers, table cloths and the altar arch were all a soft blueish green color combined with a clean white.
- The blue symbolizing the Lin Kuei, the green symbolizing your clan. If this was a real wedding, between two people who actually loved each other, Bi-han would have actually enjoyed it.
- Instead he was silently brooding in his dressing room, staring daggers into the person who was working around his outfit. He was fitted in a traditional blue long tang suit, embroidered with different gold and white accents.
- He looked in the mirror and briefly wondered what his mother would think; as he took in his appearance he actually saw some truth in Kuai Liang's statement; his mother, despite the real reason, would be proud of him getting married.
- He had barely heard the nervous worker exclaim he was done, and that it was almost time for the wedding to start.
- Standing at the altar, Bi-han felt like he's been waiting an eternity. He tried to look for his father and brothers in the crowd, but after seeing everyones eyes on him he immediately went back to looking at the wall.
- Finally, he saw you walking down the aisle. you had a veil (honggaitou) covering your face, and you wore a traditional sage green cheongsam.
- After taking your place in front of the altar, the officiant started the wedding ceremony. but Bi-han couldn't care less.
- He was too busy staring at your damned veil, and despite his personal vendetta against you, not seeing your face was just was just as annoying as seeing it.
- Finally the vows are over, and he has to lift up your veil.
- And there it was, your face. Your annoyingly beautiful face. You looked up at him as the veil lifted and he briefly wondered if you felt the same emotions he was feeling.
- You wore such a calm expression, it only served to make Bi-han angrier.
- You both bowed and walked off the altar, and just like that, the wedding was officially over.
- The next few hours were the banquet, the drinks, the food, etc. None of which Bi-han, or you for that matter, participated in.
- You both made a beeline to your respective bedrooms and stayed there the rest of the night.
.·:*¨ ¨*:·..·:*¨ ¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨ ¨*:·..·:*¨ ¨*:·.
Life as a married couple:
- The first few weeks after the wedding were painfully quiet, with you spending most of your time in the kitchen, the bedroom or the garden, and Bi-han training with his brothers, doing paperwork and shadowing his father.
- Until one night Bi-han came back from a particularly dangerous mission, and had cuts and wounds all over his body.
- He sat in your now shared bedroom, much to Bi-han's dismay, trying to stitch himself up.
- Unfortunately for Bi-han, he was not the best medic, and just kept injuring himself further. That's when you entered the bedroom and saw him stumbling and fiddling around with a needle.
- When you offered to help for the first time, he just told you off rather rudely. You considered just leaving him there, maybe he'd get a nasty infection from all the horrible stitching he's doing. But you're not that evil.
- So you stubbornly ask again and again, until Bi-han looks at you with a pointed look and begrudgingly hands over the needle.
- You stitch him up gracefully, with the upmost care. Bi-han didn't know how to react, feeling your soft hands practically gliding over his skin gave him goosebumps.
- He eventually just closed his eyes, and let you work quietly. You softly hummed as you continued working, something Bi-han found strangely comforting.
- After you were done, you set down the tools and looked at him with an expression he couldn't quite figure out.
- He finally realized what you were looking at, the cut on his cheek.
- You weren't staring at him just to stare, you were asking for permission.
- And Bi-han relented, letting you mend his face too. And he didn't know whether he regretted his decision or if he was thankful that you were there.
- If he thought the feeling of your hands on his arms was nice, the feeling of your hands on his face was next level.
- Bi-han felt . . . good. He admittedly loved the feeling, and enjoyed being taken care of by you.
- Suddenly you were done, and you retracted your hands from his face faster than he would've liked.
- But that simple act of kindness managed to change how Bi-han viewed you.
- He started eating your food and eating with you.
- You started accompanying him to his office, helping with some of the paperwork.
- He even started engaging in conversations with you. The more he learned about you the more he fell in love. Something Bi-han didn't actually think was possible for him.
- After months of dancing around each other's feelings, something unexpected happened.
- You were sitting down at your vanity when Bi-han entered the room. He was holding something.
- You looked up at him, then down at his hands. You asked him about what he was holding and he just told you to stand up and face him.
- And when you did, he opened his hands to reveal a stunning necklace. You were in awe and so surprised that he got you a gift your eyes welled up.
- You turned around and faced away from him, and he clipped the necklace on your neck. You looked in the mirror and you couldn't hold back your tears.
- You faced him again and thanked him, you had no idea Bi-han was capable of doing this.
- For a moment Bi-han looked at your tear-filled face and thought you looked beautiful while you cried too.
- You hugged him, and while it took Bi-han by surprise, he just pulled away and cupped your face.
- He expressed his gratitude for you, and as the man of a few words that he is, he just finished by kissing you.
- After pulling away and seeing you look so . . . elated, he realized maybe this whole arranged marriage thing wouldn't be so bad after all.
(2/2)

Venetiaan vs. Riester fashion🌷
(ft. model Yeseo and Cédric's imagination~)
Additional notes! :D
Venetiaan fashion:
Inspired by 16th-century Western aristocratic clothing (as confirmed by Sookym). Supporting that, both Losna and Werner have been shown wearing furs and robes!
Round cheongsam-like collars
Wide and flowy sleeves/arms/silhouette
Buttons are distinct from Riester's
Riester fashion:
19th?-century inspired
Suits, vests, button-ups! Neckties are in style since the collars permits it, unlike Venetiaan's high and round collars
Typically slim silhouettes for men (with the exception of cloaks and tailcoats)
(Honestly I just think of it as the typical RoFan webtoon visual fashion LMFAO)
This is just my interpretation haha, it's sorta what I gathered from the info given by Sookym in both in-novel and their notes! Distinct fashion/culture between Venetiaan and Riester has always been interesting to me, especially since Jesse (and Johann) have been noted to switch clothing styles once they become more concretely affiliated with the Riester Empire. (I tried giving Jesse more colourful/darker attires for his Venetiaan wardrobe like in my references pics, but his palette works best with whites/light colours so I couldn't bring myself to do it wkdhdkdksk)
When we first meet Johann, he is distinctly from Venetiaan, wearning its clothing and even greeting Jesse, the prince from said country, as "Your Highness" (which is what people from Riester call Cédric) rather than "prince-nim" (which is what they call Jesse, and what Jesse calls Cédric), displaying his nationality and the royal family whom he serves. He only begins dressing like a citizen of the Empire once he pledges his life and abilities to serve Empress Frédérique and become one of her people!
And as for Yeseo, he only begins to be dressed by his attendants in the attire of the Empire following his 'resurrection', and we can see more of this sort of shift when he goes from being addressed less as "prince-nim", and more as (마마—) "gungju-nim" (palace lord). There's also him eventually being referred to as the Moon of the Empire, instead of the Moon of the Holy Kingdom 🥹
I'm really fond of the webtoon because if there's one thing it does right, it is absolutely how it captures the lighthearted charm, atmosphere, and vibe of the original novel—though one thing im lowkey sad about is that the visual distinction between Venetiaan and Riester culture via clothing seems to have been lost :') It's a small detail on the surface, but it's actually a pretty significant and symbolic shift when Jesse gradually begins to be dressed less like "Prince Jesse Venetiaan", and more as "Marquis de Sérénité of Riester", the Palace Lord of Juliette :')) But of course, making a webtoon is hard work and I still immensely appreciate the artist's work nonetheless (btw I am eternally grateful for them giving Yeseo an ahoge/hair antenna, it is GENIUS chara design and so so so very cute, i love webtoon jesse so much hahajhsjh)

Nanea Mitchell is a half Scottish-American, half Native Hawaiian girl living in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1941 during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Her release was met with a lot of surprise. Going back to WW2, it seemed like AG was running out of history. But Nanea is pretty different than Molly. She covers the beginning of the war and the Pacific theater while Molly covers the end of the war and the European theater.
More than anything else, Nanea represents Native Hawaiians in the historical line. Being post BeForever, she only received two books. The two book format might seem to fit covering one event like Pearl Harbor better, but honestly, with Hawaiian history and culture and the beginning of WW2, there is SO MUCH to cover. I think the traditional six books for Nanea would be fantastic.
To start with, I’d like to see some before and after. Appropriating Pacific Islander culture was a major trend in the 1930s, and the Hawaiian tourism industry really took of. It would be interesting to see Nanea’s reaction to White actresses wearing sarongs and leis and poorly dancing the hula on the silver screen, or seeing sacred tikis reduced to cheap bar kitsch.
You can listen to or read the episode of the food history podcast Gastropod about tiki bars.
As far as the Pearl Harbor attack goes, one of the enduring and most fascinating parts of history is the normalcy that exists during crisis. My middle school orchestra performed at Disney World two weeks after 9/11 when people were still terrified of going into major tourist places for fear of attack. We visited Disney World in September every year and had the date scheduled in advance, we weren’t gonna let some fucking terrorists stop us. I’d love to see Nanea just being a kid in the middle of chaos.
And then there’s just the island’s history! There’s so many stories you could work out with Nanea just learning Hawaiian history!
Nanea’s style of blouse is called a tea-timer. It became popular in the mid-20th century after being appropriated from the Chinese cheongsam.
(SneakyTiki)
Her shorts are a sailor-inspired design called moku shorts, but I can’t find any information about their history.
(Ritual Vintage, credit @in-pleasant-company)
Her little necklace is made out of (imitation) celluloid and seashells.
(Garden Party Collection Vintage Jewelry)
Here’s a pretty great article about Native Hawaiian reaction to Nenea’s release.

One Dress a Day Challenge
Monochrome July
Daughter of Shanghai / Anna May Wong as Lan Ying Lin
This beautiful cheongsam (qipao) gets a lot of screentime, both with and without the fluffy white hooded cape. She also has a lovely beaded snood with little tassels in back.
I just saw this delightful movie for the first time! It's quite short, and it's available to watch for free here. Anna May Wong gets to play a heroic role, solving a mystery and catching the gangsters who killed her father, while having a romance with a dashing G-man.

@tianshiisdead help our post is blowing up
tbh the amount of tags ive seen being like "i learned something new" or expressing absolute shock at the normalization of what is essentially chinese raceplay in japanese fetish culture makes me quite happy we've had this discussion publically. because this is a subject that honestly isn't studied well but HAS history:
Desire Sung with a Lisp: Chinese Women Represented in Japanese Popular Songs During Wartime; thesis by Amane Kusai
The Allure of a Woman in Chinese Dress: Representation of the Other in Imperial Japan; chapter by Ikeda Shinobu
Politics, Art & Eroticism: The Female Impersonator as the National Cultural Symbol of Republican China [in the Imperial Japanese Worldview]; chapter by Catherine Vance Yeh
and is just... incredibly normalized, like beyond sexualized caricatures of chinese women in anime/manga. "cheongsam" is a whole category on japanese porno sites. (you can google it!)
but also the lack of awareness on this kind of aggrieves me because for me personally, the only discussion i've seen of intra-east asian fetishization on mainstream sms is like. regarding genshin's sexualization of the kimono or whatnot. it's a fair and valid critique and it is worth criticizing. the hegemony of white supremacy means that even the marginalized can reproduce white supremacist ideas against other marginalized people (it's like women who perpetuate patriarchy against other women). chinese media in general is no stranger to this, especially with it's depictions of inner asians, southeast asians, MENASA, and black folks.
but i would argue that the conversation about how japaneseness specifically is presented in chinese media takes place under a premise that ignores the reality of japan-china modern relations. there's absolutely very little recognition that in the contemporary era, japan is the largest east asian producer of culture. and as a consequence, china's pop culture is therefore heavily influenced by japanese pop culture.
i think it's unfair to accuse chinese media of japanese fetishization without recognizing this fact. unperfect example, but: it's not too different from the the fact that east asian makeup and fashion styles are popular in southeast asia. it would be bad faith to accuse southeast asians of fetishization without recognizing that east asian pop culture dominate a significant part of their media (though this doesn't excuse the fact that many seasian govts have a pretty bad history w their chinese minorities!). the fact this seems to be completely ignored indicates to me something metaphysical; there's a default guilt placed upon china wrt japan in spite of the historical-cultural facts. it's sinophobia ingrained into discursive "common sense".
on the contrary, japan's fetishization of chineseness, in it's current-day iteration, is based on racial hierarchy. maybe you could potentially make an argument that any pre-meiji objectification comes from the same place as mentioned earlier (with china being the historical lingua franca of east asia) ... but as it stands now, the casual sexualization of china comes from the imperial era which sees chinese people as an object to be dominated. if you read the sources i've listed and if you watch japanese imperial movies like Shina no Yoru and find similarities of how the Chinese female lead is portrayed to characters like Chun-Li, Ada Wong, Shampoo, etc. ... the literary legacies of japanese colonialism will reveal itself.
#not art#disk horse#rambling#you may have noticed even wrt the sources i provided that the majority of the authors are japanese. this is not a coincidence either.

WIBTA if I wore black for new years?
🧨🧧🧨🧧🧨 (emojis so I can recognise my ask)
Okay that title probably sounds absurd to tumblr but there's context for this. Basically chinese new year is coming up and my parents (48F and M) took me (17F) clothes shopping for a new cheongsam (traditional chinese clothes) to wear for the new year. And that would be fine but the colour of the clothes we wear, especially for big events like the new years is pretty important (eg. wearing red or gold to symbolise prosperity) but as time went on it's also become fashionable to have other colours of traditional attire like green, blue and stuff.
So while shopping for the new dress we tried many different types of cheongsam (and specifically tried MANY other colours other than black) but in the end we all felt like the black one looked best on me, so we decided to get that one. The thing is, it's taboo to wear black or white during new years. But my parents reasoned that since it's traditional clothing, and since it also has red accents, it's good enough for the new years, and I agreed.
The thing is though, my grandma (72F) doesn't agree. Like she was mad at us when we got home and I showed her the cheongsam and told me I'm not allowed to wear it for the new years. I was a bit bummed out by this cause I actually really liked the cheongsam but my parents were more mad about it than I am. My dad in particular was arguing about it with my grandma afterwards.
I mean, it's not like it's the end of the world if I didn't get to wear the cheongsam, but I feel like it'd be a bummer if I couldn't wear the outfit I bought specifically for the occasion just cause my grandma isn't happy that it's black. My parents told me I'm definitely allowed to wear it and they would help me deal with grandma later, but I don't know. Wibta if I broke tradition?
What are these acronyms?
