Jumpscare!

Well actually yes! This IS the answer to your confusion on why chicken chop isn't in the actual Western menu. It might look Western itself but it's actually from Malaysia. Kinda why isn't nonexistent in the West but there's it in kopitiam menus


Like many mouthwatering kopitiam staples, chicken chop was created by the Hainanese. During the second wave of Chinese migration to Southeast Asia beginning in the 19th century, immigrants from southern China flocked to the region in droves seeking their fortune.

In British Malaya and Singapore, the Hokkiens from Fujian and the Cantonese, Teochews and Hakka from Guangdong were the first to settle, eventually dominating the lucrative tin mining and plantation sectors.

The Hainanese, from the southernmost Chinese province of Hainan (literally, “south of the sea”), were relative latecomers, and so were shut out of key economic sectors by the other Chinese dialect groups.

Because of this, many Hainanese ended up as domestic helpers in British and Peranakan Chinese households or as kitchen hands and cooks at British military bases, ships, restaurants and hotels during the colonial period.

This was for the "Cursed" prompt, but I realized I procastinated too much on this drawing and decided to show it without considering it as a Joltober entry anyway. Just an excuse to show some lore for the Colourful World collection

Happy Malaysia Day! Apologies for the late post because Game Jolt acts VERY SLOWLY when I'm attempting to post something.

But there's nothing much to tell today so let's learn history!

Learn more about Malaysia's formation below.

Oh yeah btw i drew this version after finding out Mizz apparently voiced Apex out of all things in an animated series dub...? I mean not exactly as Apex but kinda based on what I know about him

Who fucking cares, he already fall victim into getting AI generated. I'm drawing something based on ts

Saint Peacekeeper. The left one is before the war, in which he was known as "Mediator of Knowledge", and the right one is his current appearance.

Jiwa Merdeka

Several speeches, announcements and notes for Malaysian Central community specifically. Might change overtime.

MLS Fanlore Drop 2 + art (since the first one blew up and the way the actual lore is shown pmo)

What motivated Saint Peacekeeper to stopping the war is not only true unity, but a spark of hope he sees in redemption of something he never intend to start.
