that in the Chinese version of Disney’s Mulan, the fake name she gives is “Ping”, but her family name “Fa” in English is “Hua” in Chinese, therefore her full name is “Hua Ping”, which is literally “Flower Vase”, and that’s why Shang is so bewildered because it’s a silly name.

but OP how could you not tell them the best part

“hua ping”/flower vase is chinese slang for “camp gay”

my cat i swear tries to rush to get on the bed right as i’m tossing the topsheet over and i think  he likes the feeling of having it thrown over him but honestly his reaction is so fuckin weird that idk

his eyes get HUGE 

i stuck my head under with him playfully to tap my fingers on the bed and get him to play back but all he did was look at me like O______O and then moved his mouth like he was gonna meow but instead just kinda went :[  ]

i think maybe he gets excited by the movement of a big flappy thing and wants to be involved, but then he discovers that he has entered an alternate dimension where he is engulfed in an endless jersey knit void 

and he just hasn’t made the connection between action and consequence

i know ive talked about this before but we literally have no reason not to bring the original gay flag made in the 70s by gilbert baker back to regular use!

the pink stripe was simply taken away because pink fabric was too expensive to mass reproduce at the time, and the turquoise stripe was taken away for a really odd reason: for the harvey milk remembrance parade in 1979, they wanted three stripes on each side of the street and didn’t want it to be asymmetrical, so they did away with the turquoise stripe. like, they could have fixed it in some other way without removing a whole stripe, but eh whatever history’s history.

the pink originally symbolized sex and the turquoise was for magic/art and it would just be really cool if we could bring both the stripes back into regular use again since there wasn’t any significance behind the removal of the stripes and we’re perfectly capable of mass producing flags with all the stripes again!

if anyone is interested, in 2017, shortly before he died, gilbert baker added a 9th stripe in lavender to represent diversity, partly in response to trump’s election. while i dont expect it to gain any kind of widespread usage, it is an interesting fact!
