Monday Recommends and Nail Art: Dragons and Cats

This week, I watched Raya and the Last Dragon on Disney+.

The Disney Fandom Wiki explains part of why I loved it:

The setting of Raya and the Last Dragon takes inspiration from Southeast Asian cultures and regions. The titular dragon, Sisu, is modeled after the Nāga, a serpentine race found in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. To respectfully pay tribute to the region, the studio established a Southeast Asia Story Trust—a coalition of specialists of various fields, including visual anthropology, linguistics, botany, choreography, architecture, and martial arts.

Also, voices by Daniel Dae Kim, Benedict Wong, Sandra Oh, and my beloved Akwafina.

I did Halloween nails this week: Very dark brown standing in for black, Coconut standing in for white, and orange as itself. I did a matte finish, and did shiny black over the black matte for the Black Flame Candle.

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

    Ooooh! I like this Raya. I wonder if I can watch it on Youtube. Thanks, Marian. I LOVE that both the ‘villain’ and the ‘hero’ are female. We haven’t had kickarse females since Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton. Oh, except for Furiosa, but that was Aussie and we’re good like that. 😀

      Makes me wish we had trick-or-treaters, but we’re too far back on an unlighted drive.
