Good afternoon, everyone. I have created a space for r/BlasiansandBeyond and BlasiansandBeyond Discord.

These two groups are both safe spaces, and more of grasping difficult conversations about Western Standards, such as racism, and/or colorism for those who are mixed with Asian/Pacific Islander with Black, Latino/a background, South Asians, and many more that do exist but are shadowed by the main audience on how the world perceives us.

These groups are not meant to detract from here, but to provide further expansion and support.

For Discord: You must be 20 and up to join. I picked this age because in Japan, the legal age is 20. What may be okay for 18 (The legal age in most countries) will not be okay in Japan. This is also a place for serious discussions and will be treated with the utmost respect.

Discord link: Will be available for 7 days, and must go through verification in order to unlock all the channels.

I always believe the moment I was born I was still connected to the spiritual life but it was way to abnormal that it lasted when I was 6 years old. (Basically I was aware of my subconscious).

When I was three I would cry in my room, and there would by tiny people asking me “what was wrong?” Or they would have this concerning tone about me.

Around 4 through 5, there used to be a large deep voice like a father like sound. I remember being so spooked and I would hide but then the voice would be like “I can still see you”…the energy didn’t feel malicious but it had more of a “I’m watching you” or a “check up”.

Anyone been through this? I can go more into detail if anyone asked.

Good afternoon, everyone, and I hope all is well. Unfortunately, I had to make a new Discord account, which is princessPluto.

Basically, I can’t access my account because Apple (iCloud Keychain) isn't reading the Discord QR code for 2FA. I have tried everything with my Apple password to log in to my account, but I have had no luck due to two-step verification. Since then, I have talked to Discord Support, and as of now, they cannot revive an account, only to force-delete it.

-If you have Discord and you manually created your password, you are safe!

- If you used Apple to generate your password with Discord passkey, you are more likely to face problems if you are already logged out of your account or if you are trying to sign in on a desktop with the QR code given.

- Are backup codes given? Yes
- Do they work? Some users have reported that it has worked, while others say it doesn’t.

Bottom line, it’s a gamble.

So please, please…be careful.

Again, this is my experience, and I’m not the only one going through this. But please, just be careful. It would suck to have an account with all your communities and then, all of a sudden, be locked out.

My mom spoke Bisaya, and when I was little that was the first language she taught me. Unfortunately, when I started Kindergarten they noticed I wasn’t really engaged with my peers and knew that I had a hard time speaking in English. After my mom passed, I was pretty much with a speech therapist and learned English with them along with my other peers.

Is there a book or lessons I can get back too? It just feels wrong to learn another language but not the one that my mom spoke.

Thank you. ❤️

A year ago, I had an AP that I could not stop thinking about. It was actually the first time I went through the whole sleep paralysis and did not chicken out. In this realm, I felt like I was outside and it gave more of a surrealistic vibe. Hallways that would lead out to the open, metallic stairs that had engraved foreign writing...it almost kind of feel like I was in outdoor mall? Anyways...I met an older man that had a white beard and he was very kind. Someone that would be like a random neighbor....well I went up to him, because I wanted to ask a question about my life in the real world. I go up to him, and I was like "Hey I am so sorry...but can I ask you a question..I'm scared that I'm not allowed but I need to".

The old man, furrowed his eye brows with concerned and he was like "Yes...of course, don't be afraid." I then asked a personal question, and then he looks at me and all of a sudden his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and did a few head nods and then ends his phone conversation. He then looks at me at said "So getting off the phone, they said no, and would not work out."

For some odd reason, I don't know who he talked too and I don't even know who I talked too, but his response was so real...that the actual answer to my question, came true in real life.

So in reality...who was that? who was that on the phone? Was that person my spirit guide from the after life? I can't stop thinking about it.

So I don’t know if it’s the formula for most setting spray, but so far I have used TirTir Make up setting and Sephora Trans proof spray, and it has this weird lingering smell on my face.

The smell is described like “cooking oil”??
Is that normal? Anyone have any better recommendations besides those two products I mentioned?

So far, I like the show. It gives me a new perspective on how the Wives (Blues) treat the Plums vs how we saw them treat their Handmaids. It gives us a more complicated backstory of how the Plums see Gilead as their growing.

I do want to talk about Becka and how I perceive her.
I do believe that Becka is a Lesbian or a sapphic. The way she does not want to get married was an underlying way of “This is not what I’m attracted to…not only are they OLD, and it feels WRONG, but this is not what I want.” But because of the situation she is in, I don’t think she is that stupid to put herself in that.
Because she is still young, it’s very hard for her to explain her feelings safely.

I don’t think that Becka has a thing for Garth, but I do feel that she is comfortable with him due to age range, and it’s more of “At least you are attractive in my eyes, and I can bear with this.”

She wants to be close to Agnes at all times, but she has to know her boundaries.

I also want to point out that we also forget that these characters are teenagers who are going through hormones and not able to express themselves as Daisy would express herself.

Shunnamite, on the other hand, might be very well a late bloomer, but in Gilead, that would be deemed not normal, and I’m sure she might have a turning point too.

Agnes MIGHT still remember that she is Hannah. You can tell she is already having an identity crisis due to her being biracial and living with White parents again. I peeped the comment about her hair and about her first crush on Garth.

For Agnes/Hannah character…if you are a POC like me, I’m sure you guys can read between the lines and sense a lot of Microagression in that household, along with her selecting a husband.

However, I will say that the marriage selection wasn’t because of her beauty; it’s more than that. Agnes selection was due to power.
Agnes has more political power than her fake parents because of June’s reputation in Gilead, and Tuello knows of her through June, but, of course, Agnes is unaware, and for now, it’s best not to reveal it just yet.

However, I do believe Daisy might find out for herself or from Aunt Lydia and then reveal it to Agnes in the most reckless way. I feel like this might be the starting point of derealization for her and the rest of the girls.

And that’s all I have for this show.

Notes: We are talking about the show. We are not talking about the book. I have read the book, but it’s important to be flexible on how the writers have changed the story.

So I’m in my early 30s, and I’ve just been diagnosed with this type. To be honest, I’m lost and feel so out of place.
I wasn’t the poster child of having good grades and I was not accepted into gifted and talented program. While I dealt with severe trauma in my childhood, I had teachers that bet I wasn’t going to do well in my (now) life.

I think about the days where all my classmates had groups of friends, and I was just left out because they deemed me “Slow”.

The word “Slow”, has always stopped my tracks…even in my adult life. I feel like when I do engage or talk..I feel like they don’t take me seriously or my goals seriously.

I’ve spent my whole life in this maladaptive version of myself…I don’t know what is real or not.

If anyone can relate to this..let me know.

To the point.
This goes back to my first post here about Wasians and Unforgotten Blasians.

Happy AAPI month!!!

I created a group for us r/BlasiansandBeyond

:)

For starters, I want to talk about anyone who is half Asian in this group. This goes for Black/Asian, White/Asian, Latino/Asian, and other half Asians.

When we talk about biracials, we only talk about part White and we need to break that stigma..it’s not always part White.

Lately, I’ve been seeing a rise of Wasians claiming that “No one understands them” and basically being a poster child of biracials for Asians. Every topic of discussion has always been the center of “being mixed race is difficult no one understands me” but at the same time ignoring other half Asians…who are no where near White proximity.

I’m glad that Laufey is representing her Wasians side, but she is doing it the wrong way. Not once have I heard spoke out for us that are left behind due to colorism and Western Beauty standards.

So it makes me question, if she ever bothered asking Blasians, Lasians, or any non Asian/part Asian our experience. Because honestly we would’ve supported her. All of us could’ve educated everyone around the world that we do exist.

It’s just weird, how she only wants to include only Wasians and that’s it.

I’m not going to lie, yalls community is getting really weird and not in a good way.

Let’s keep it respectful because we need to have this conversation. Seriously.
