Bunny Hop Into Spring!

It seems like we just shooed away the leprechauns of St. Paddy’s day, and now the Easter bunnies are already prancing across our doorsteps. Or at least the wild and wily kind. Bunnies are abound in my neighborhood, now that spring has sprung, and they are finding a buffet of fresh flowers to nosh on. While I go for my morning walk, just about everywhere I look there’s another little bunny nibbling on some grass, or sneaking under someone’s fence to get at their garden, or scurrying under the cover of a bush. Though the wild rabbits I saw in Ireland were huge, bigger than a cat! The adorable furry lumps of my local tromping grounds are much much smaller, no bigger than a guinea pig, these cute critters could be held in one hand, no problem.

And though in Western culture bunnies are seen as just cute and fluffy harbingers of spring, in Asian cultures they have a far more complex nature. In the zodiac, rabbits are the embodiment of kind gentleness and emotional intelligence. Though people born in the year of the rabbit are likely to be thoughtful and endearing friends, they aren’t the bravest of people and are unlikely to stick up for their friends or themselves. They struggle with balancing kindness with caution.

In Asian media like anime and manga, people that are depicted as bunny like are often bouncy, cheerful and sweet. There will almost always be a scene or two of their heads decorated with imagined or real rabbit ears. And in general, these people are very energetic and the main character might even become exhausted being around this character, but they are still well liked by everyone. On the flip side, these rabbit characters also often have a tragic past in which they still struggle with facing hard truths and defending themselves and other against bullies and injustices.

In the anime Fruits Basket, we meet Momiji, a cheerful, energetic, and a bit flippant half German boy of the Sohma family. Not surprisingly, he is also the rabbit zodiac animal of the family. Though when he is first introduced in the story, it appears that Momiji is just a happy, sweet, and kind boy, as the story progresses it becomes clear that he has experience a great deal of grief and heartache in his life.

In Momiji’s backstory arc, we learn that his own mother was horrified that her child was part of the family’s zodiac curse, and even tried to hurt herself she was so traumatized. In the end it was deemed better if she just forgot that Momiji even existed. And so his own mother chose to erase him from her mind. As kind as Momiji is, he still loves his family, even his mother, and instead chooses to put a smile on his face, and for much of the story turns away from the painful family relationships.

P.S. Hey! I know this is kind of a short post for me, but after my trip I’m kind of swamped at work, so this was all I could whip up in my scant free time. Sorry! I’ll try to write more in future posts!

The steroid injections I got in my back for sciatica last week seem to be slowly helping, I’m walking a lot more upright, but using muscles not used a lot in the past couple of months. Now these muscles are hurting, and I am thrilled at what that implies - I’m getting better. Still…

But a friend recommended #ginger #turmeric tea, and I didn’t have any turmeric, but I live on the edge of the “little Saigon” part of Arlington and went to one of the Asian markets there. Got some #tea, yummy!

Well, whaddyaknow. Turns out one can just walk up & buy a retail pass to "Otakon" here in Washington DC. Video games, speaking sessions, parades, panels, sessions. Cool! 😁

#otakon2024 #washingtondc #asianculture #cosplay

I stumbled upon a convention here in Washington DC called OTAKON, "A celebration of Asian popular culture".

It's apparently a really big deal. Lots & I mean, LOTS of cosplay. We showed up just in time for the pre-party I guess where they had audience participation sumo wrestling. 🤷

I know there’s never going to be a year where there’s the perfect version of what the Oscar’s turn out to be and the most deserving actor or category wins the award it should but this year is perhaps the the closest that will ever be so for me personally. This years Oscar’s were definitely the most emotionally invested that I’ve ever been no to mention ground breaking barrier wise. Congrats to all these amazing and well deserving winners! I loved this years Oscar’s and it went about 90% of the way I wanted to and I couldn’t be more proud of that. #oscars #theoscars #movies #movie #everythingeverywhereallatonce #eeaao #asianculture
