all random camera movements are the fault of my cat Kokochin

Every time someone tells me they're Chinese diaspora and my content helps them get more connected with their culture my chilly lil heart grows one size

"he was either a literal god or a feral child."

Tumblr OC's, basically

"My first girlfriend turned into the moon"


"That's rough buddy"

10:46 “Chinese family titles are very specific, you know exactly how you’re related and on which side of the family”
As a Hispanic, if we meet someone and hit it off they are automatically a ‘cousin’ half of our family members aren’t related 😂

I thought that Fei Fei leaving Bungee was another step in her learning to deal with her mother's death because Bungee was the last gift her mother gave her before she died.

The Ten Sons: What are you going to do about it?

"And since this is a kid's movie, it starts decimating your emotions right at the 6 minute mark." TOO. ACCURATE.

“Literal god or feral child” is the aesthetic I aspire to have.

This movie screenplay was written by a woman with cancer that died before the movie came out. She wrote it for her husband and daughter to cope with her passing. I cried when I saw the dedication message

“Oh yeah, she was your girl until she saw my three tiered stationary case.” i am WHEEZING

"If you lived thousands of years ago, and you had a lot of children, you’re going to have so many descendants"

Descendant of Henry VIII, can relate.

I’d love to see you talk about Kung Fu Panda since Chinese people actually say that it’s a GREAT example of Chinese culture

"GAY MOON LIONS"

This is our new queen.

Kokochin: *our* youtube career

"Thoughts of you are so difficult to bear, I wish I could be with you." Aside from the obvious romantic sentiment, I feel like this also very much applies in the context of grief and missing a departed loved one. Too real.

I love films like this and Book of Life, where you can tell it's someone having fun with stories they grew up on, and they're excited to celebrate their identity. Whereas the best-case scenario for white-people-retellings have more of a book report vibe, where they carefully display everything they've learned while researching the setting. (These can be good too Coco was fun please don't @ me.) There's such a tangible difference in storytelling and I just think that's neat.

Xiran: *tries to formally talk about a movie*
Their Cat: *cha cha real smooth*

The fact that this channel exists, and just kinda happened because you got so angry at the live action Mulan, makes me extremely happy.

As a Chinese adoptee in a while family. your videos on Chinese culture make me so happy. I’ve grown up struggling severely with my cultural identity, often feeling like I’m not Chinese enough. But these videos are so informative, I’m so grateful for them❤️
