canada's hockey game :) (another collab between me and my partner)
Pirichu UWU? also Iceland x Asia ik u don't like it I just wanna hear slander LOL (understand if ur not comfortable tho!)
Pirichu is unfathomably based. Two insane femboys who wear cat ears as they terrorise Spain is canon to me now. They probably like, twitch stream meow offs.
Their actual historical relationship which I find interesting:
They've have had a relationship since the 10th century when Chinese traders and settlers came to the Philippines. The Philippines was known as "Land of Gold" or Ma-i and was an important trading partner for China.
Then, the 13th century (mwahaha) , the Philippines joined the Yuan Dynasty's maritime trade network, linking China with Southeast Asia, India, and the Middle East.
Chinese traders settled in the Philippines during this time.
There's more about trade with the Philippines and China here!
In the 16th century, the Spanish ruled the Philippines for over 300 years (writhing in pain at the thought of it...) . Chinese people kept coming to the Philippines as traders and workers, but there were conflicts with the Spanish. The Spanish and Chinese communities had tension, which led to violent conflicts and anti-Chinese campaigns.
Spain has uhhh. Fantasised about invading and colonising Ming dynasty China in the past which is hilarious because Ming dynasty China was pretty strong? The Spanish genuinely believed they could waltz in and just. Take it lol. Even now there's quite a few Spaniards who keep thinking "oh if only we colonised China."
So I hc that China and the Philippines bully the crap out of Spain together LMAO. Based as hell.
Edit: Oh I forgor the Iceland part LMAO anyways I think Iceland should be banned from interacting with Asians (jk kakssk but why tf was he shoehorned into the ASEAN strip. Also... Hongice NEVER made sense to me)
Everything is ok and they have nice rest and have each other ππ€ππ€ππ€

The funny sibling post
How did the cat tank arc make you like torisai?? Isn't that the chapter where Toritsuka literally betrays him and doesn't believe in him at all, until Saiki shows how unconditionally kind he is despite the betrayal?? And then he still says he has a shitty personality afterward...
saiki will diss toritsuka as much as he wants, will drone over and over how the author should just go ahead and kill off what's obviously deadweightβyet when the chance for precisely that comes, he still risks life and limb to keep this nuisance safe... and toritsuka will whine and whinge abt saiki-san's hardass rules but he still thinks of him as a god?? "our god has returned!!"βi think that's what he cheered when saiki's powers came back, lol? he clearly worships saiki as some super powerful entity/deity, yet he still has the audacity to beg him for dumbass pervert favors... i've never witnessed this breed of worshipper before... fascinating specimen.Β
their relationship has a sort of an "enemies to lovers" flavor, except in this case it's more like "haters to enemies to haters again with a tad bit more understanding for each other". at this point, toritsuka mayyy be saiki's closest confidant? arguably the one who knows saiki the best! (subconsciously. he's too dumb to consciously realize it.) he'll likely be one of the first people saiki turns to whenever he needs help, which sucks because toritsuka is sorta useless, power and personality-wise HAHAHA
also toritsuka is probably the only (non-familial) person saiki is so flat-out MEAN to! it's hilarious!! yknow how romantic partners are supposed to bring the best out of each other? Not Happening Here. in the slimy presence of toritsuka, saiki is at his most honest but also his worst. toritsuka is the antithesis to the emotional support puppies zookeepers will pair anxious cheetahs with; he's more like........................
yeah. he's the lice in saiki's fur. plainly speaking, he's a pest!!!
also toritsuka's betrayal was sorta necessary in my opinion, because this guy's too damn dumb to learn a lesson the normal way. he absolutely needs to be put into Situations in order to walk away with at least a teeny tiny sliver of character growth. and i definitely credit a huge part of his betrayal to kusuke's psychological warfare. pitting a super-human cambridge genius against a sub-human highschool dumbass... poor, pathetic toritsuka never stood a chance!! still, the resentment he'd been harboring definitely also contributed to his backstabbing. howeveeer, now that he's seen firsthand saiki's affection for him, that resentment has vanished! he's been shaken to his core!! the worship has been amplified to the MAX!!!
lastly, i just think it's hopelessly hideously HYSTERICAL to have the world's worst womanizer fall in love with a man!! and have the world's most sexless guy fall in love with a future sex offender!!! they're so fundamentally incompatible it loops back around to being compatible?! it's a real comedy. tragedy. tragicomedy. (saiki and toritsuka would doubtlessly view it as a tragedy)
lastly-lastly: height difference. that is all.
thanks sending for this ask! it let me think (<< very rare) and put into words why i actually like torisai besides "hehehe hater x hater". writing all of this made me like it even more!! but i think this may have made you despise it more? oops. my tastes are strange and off-putting. i mean, kusuke is literally my favorite saiki character, after saiki himself... that's gotta tell you something.
