themesozoicsperm: A lot of stuff in Joel G’s ENA is inspired in peruvian culture, which makes sense since Joel himself is peruvian. I often see some of this stuff confusing foreigners so allow me to explain it.1) ENA “drunk form” is a Diablada DemonThis is one I see a lot of people mistaking for an “Oni”, a japanese demon-like creature. Is not, is inspired from a mask used in ceremonial Diablada dances in Perú.2) ENA wears a peruvian schoolgirl uniformAnother one I see people mistaking, in this case for a reference to Mariya Takeuchi outfit in Plastic Love. It is not, is just the typical uniform girls wear in Perú’s public schools.3) Turrón is a typical peruvian dessertA lot of people seem to find funny the kind of nonsensical “Turrón” scene in Temptation Stairway, but what is a Turrón really? Well is a typical latin american dessert you can find in many countries, but the one used in the short is no other than the peruvian version, Turrón de Doña Pepa. Is really delicious but as you can tell by the images you must eat it really moderately because is very high on sugar. -- source link
