Kingdom (2019)

“Once a slave, always a slave. Only the sword will set you free.”

Based on the bestselling manga series of the same name is the live-action adaptation of a historical film about the warring states of China during 475-221 BC. The tale follows two boys orphaned by war, Shin (Kento Yamazaki; Alice in Borderland) and Hyou (Ryo Yoshizawa; Gintama) who grow up as slaves.

They’re determined to one day break free and become the greatest army generals the world has ever seen! They’re working towards their dream but the now young men are suddenly separated when Hyou caught the attention of the Chancellor who summoned him to serve the Emperor.

Turns out, Hyou serves as a double for the Emperor due to his close resemblance. When he dies protecting the Emperor who was overthrown by his brother, Shin is determined to seek revenge to hunt the Emperor and the ones who killed Hyou which brings on a journey meeting several individuals.

Individuals such as a mountain girl named Ten (Kanna Hashimoto) who survives the unforgiving world by disguising as a boy and a mountain chieftain warrior (Masami Nagasawa) who commands the formidable mountain army that could turn the tide of the war depending on which side she serves.

I cannot believe I do not know about this movie until now. It’s definitely worth watching if you’re into historical fiction action films like Rurouni Kenshin, 47 Ronin and Red Cliff.

Masami Nagasawa (Shin Ultraman) is absolute badass warrior queen in this one. There is a sequel, Kingdom 2: To Distant Lands (2022) which features two new female warriors, Seino Nana (Kyō Kara Ore Wa!!) and Chihiro Yamamoto (Alice in Borderland).

Their onyx feathers glistened in the eerie light, woven in ebony nests, entwined and eternal.

Kunigami [国頭村], Okinawa, Japan

Legitimately can't explain what caused me to get just get really into this hetaliaAU that exists solely in my brain but I couldn't stop

At first it was just imagining like a Japanese woman in kimono in like 19th century New York and then I started thinking about how amazing fem japan is and like then ameripan came in and now I'm like losing it

#amepan #ameripan #nyo japan #hws japan #hws america #hetalia #hetalia fanart #historical hetalia #my art #no one gets nyo japan like me (i hate “canon” nyo japan and will rebuild her to be a complex character)#i did start thinking about how epic nyo japan would be when learning that like super pre history japan #like women were religious and social leaders #theres also that one chinese record of the kingdom of wei #which to be clear historical accuracy of thst is unclear but it does seem to link to modern day japan #and in the record its like “the people here saw male rulers were causing problems so now only women rule” and theres princess himiko #ANYWAY i could talk about my decisions on why i think japan depicted as a woman is best but i wont here #also its embarrassing posting hetalia on my main #it ferls like i need a secret account #suggestive cw

Magatama beads collection, great chart put together by author Hasihaniii. Those beads are probably familiar to all Tears of the Kindom players or Inuyasha fans ;)

Those comma shaped beads where used in prehistoric Japan, from Jômon to Yayoi and Kofun periods.

Nobody knows exactly what they were supposed to represent (a fang? a fetus? the moon? something else entirely?). We're simply certain that overtime, they became ritual objects - important enough that one is part of the 3 sacred treasures of Imperial Japan.

I wont translate the chart as it mainly details the shapes, periods, and locations where those artefacts where found :) It's great to see all the different shapes different places/eras came up with. I am especially partial to the weirdly-adorable-animal-looking Komochimagatama 子持勾玉!
