Looks like I may be heading back to Ocala Comic Con and cosplaying as Sanji Again. Luffy, Usopp and Brook will be there. https://www.ocalacomiccon.com/guests

Been replaying The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Wanted to refresh myself before starting Tears of the Kingdom. This game is still so amazing and beautiful 7 years later. Easily still among the best open world games out there. ♡

It seemed to work for Jared. So... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-aJ83eb2BQ

One thing I found interesting during my time in Asia is seeing just how significant Dragons, or Long in Chinese. In the west there is a degree of stereotyping and orientalism with Asians and Dragons. But seeing this creature carved into so many stones, temples and everything in-between throughout so many ancient and modern constructs makes it clear what a sacred animal the Dragon is throughout the East. In Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, there are Dragons everywhere. And I am excluding the Lunar New Year displays I saw. I am just referring to local tales, temples, ancient art pieces, modern buildings, ect. Tales of dragons becoming islands to defend a nation's waters, being divine teachers and emperors descended from a dragon's bloodlines has been an educational experience. It is very clear why the Eastern Dragon has become one of the most recognized and powerful of mythological creatures.

Seriously though. This is why Evangelion was one of my first gateway anime sucking me into this space. I was taking bible studies around this time period and recognized a few of these references when watching the show for the first time. Some high caliber writing and art in this series.
