Hello everyone! This blog will be a fresh start for my writing journey.
I’m using this blog to share all the discoveries I’ve made with Southeast Asian History and pop culture. I’ve always felt alienated yet connected with my background. There are many times where I feel like I will never be fully understood by the community around me. But despite that, I have a deep desire to connect with the past, present and future of the ever evolving culture of the ASEAN diaspora.
I look forward to having many people come along! This will be a place where I try to consolidate all the research I will be doing for my novels.
My name is Jacinta and its nice to meet you ^^

The Seabling vs South Korean drama is actually fucking frying me and simultaneously giving me pleasure beyond measure. LIKE YES WE ARE WINNING THE INSULT WAR!!!! FINALLY!!!! Like these hoes call us JUNGLE ASIANS and we were raised to know that Korean ppl will automatically dislike us and view us as “lesser” because of our region, what we stand for, and how we look. My mama taught me from the age I could start dating that a korean man would never, EVER, go so low to marry me because of my status as an asean girlie. I was raised to believe myself better off just not getting involved with east asian people because we could fall in love but they’d never disgrace themselves by marrying me or even worse having a mixed child with one. Its lowkey insane ngl
