Cruel Words

Kabukimono x gn!reader

You catch Kabukimono saying awful, nasty words while he was out on an errand. When you confront him about it, you learn a sad truth about the puppet.

cw: none, really.

. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

You are Kabukimono's love, the one he chose to entrust his heart to. The puppet was still a little confused about emotions, yet he knew his love for you was true. You met in Shakkei Pavillion, you had joined Niwa and the others the day they found him. Ever since then, Kabukimono always stood by your side, rain or shine, day and night.

Not that you minded, of course. Kabukimono is such a dear, always so eager to help with housework. And in turn, you taught him everything he wanted to know. To experience joy, deal with sadness, and most importantly, to empathize with others. It put a smile on your face, seeing him learning all these strange new things in the world with child-like wonder. As for him, well, he couldn't ask for a more patient and kind beloved.

One autumn day, Kabukimono watched you from the dining room of your shared home. You were making lunch, two bowls of unagi chazuke, which you knew was his favourite.

"Is it ready yet, [Name]?" Kabukimono asked, approaching from behind and leaning over your shoulder to watch. You giggled softly, turning to face him.

"No, not yet, I still need to cook the eels and brew the tea." You explained.

"I can help you! I can brew the tea while you cook the unagi." He looked up at you, an expectant look on his face just waiting for you to agree. Really now, how can you say no to such an adorable face?

"Alright," You pointed to the small bucket across the room. "We're out of water, so you'll have to get some at the well. Stay safe, okay?"

"I will, [Name]!" Kabukimono rushed over to the bucket, lifting it up and holding it close to his chest. You watched as he raced out of the house, making sure he was headed to the right direction before returning your attention to the kitchen stove.

. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

It had been a while since Kabukimono left to fetch water. You were beginning to get worried, looking out the window for any sign of him. Was he lost? No, he couldn't be. He's been there plenty of times to fetch you water. Were there lots of people? No, even if there was, he should've still returned minutes ago. Did he break the bucket? The well? No, that can't be it either...

Oh no.

Could it be he was attacked by Kairagi? Or treasure hoarders? Or rift wolves?

Without a second thought, you're already putting on your sandals at the entryway. You run to the well, where you find Kabukimono safe and sound. You breathe a big sigh of relief as you observe what the puppet was up to. He was pushing on the well's lever, which seemed to be stuck. Knowing his strength, however, you knew he was more likely struggling not to push too hard rather than pushing as hard as possible.

He hadn't noticed you yet, too preoccupied with his predicament. You decided to continue watching, to see if he could handle the problem on his own, or to stop him should he almost break the lever.

"Useless, pathetic..." You heard him mutter under his breath. That can't be right, perhaps you imagined him say that, no? That is, until he continued on. "Weak, unnecessary..."

"Kabukimono!" The poor puppet yelped loudly at the yell of his name. He turned around, looking like he'd seen a ghost. Upon realizing it was you, he immediately smiled and ran up to you.

"Sorry it's taking so long, the good-for-nothing well won't work." You frowned, making him confused. "Don't be sad, [Name], I'll get the water as soon as I can!"

"No, no... Kabukimono, look at me." You placed your hands on his shoulders, a stern expression on your face. "Who taught you those words?"

"What words?"

"Those words you just called the well. Useless, weak, pathetic, all those. Who taught them to you? Don't tell me it was Katsuragi..."

"No, I learned them from my creator." You paused, completely caught off-guard by that response. It dawned on you that he didn't fully grasp the meaning of those words, he more so repeated them much like a parrot, a downside to his immaturity. "She called me that, so I thought you call all bad things that."

"Oh, Kabukimono..." You sigh, taking him by the hand and sitting him down on a nearby large rock. "You're not a "bad thing." Okay? Don't ever think that. You're an amazing, wonderful person, and Niwa, Katsuragi, everyone in the village loves you and appreciates you. Especially me, I love you, and don't ever forget it." You placed a kiss on his cheek. "So don't say those words alot, okay? They're... Bad words. Cruel words. Saying them can make people upset if they think you're talking about them."

"But, I'm not saying it to people. I'm saying it to the well."

"I know, but still, It's not good to make saying them a habit. You could accidentally slip up and insult Katsuragi, or a child, or even me." You sit next to him, placing your hand on top his, rubbing circles on the back of his hand. "Instead of being mean and forceful on the well, why don't you try a different way? A more peaceful way."

You heard Kabukimono softly hum to himself, contemplating on his next move. He stood up and headed back to the well, with you following close behind. This time, he inspected the well's crank, fixing the lever that had gotten stuck. And just like that, it was up and running again, and he collected a bucketful of water, showing it to you with pride.

"I did it, [Name]!" You smiled and patted his head, Kabukimono easing into it with a few giggles.

"Good job! Now let's go home, our unagi chazuke will be cold if we wait any longer." He nodded and you placed a kiss to his cheek before you both headed for home.

. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

Bonus:

"[Name], what about 'shit'? Is that one of the bad words? I heard Katsuragi-san say it when he bumped into a tree by accident. Oh, and also 'fuck.'"

"..."

Needless to say, Katsuragi got quite the scolding later on. No one ruins the precious baby Kabukimono's innocence and gets away with it.

. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

I hope you guys enjoyed reading this, and I know I seem a little mean thinking Ei would've said those to Kunikuzushi/Kabukimono, but hear me out. I'm aware she had good intentions leaving him so that he would be free, but my friend and I headcanon that she would say things that are mean for the sake of him not getting emotionally attached to her, and in turn she wouldn't get attached either. It's a byproduct of her being a little emotionally detached, she wouldn't see it as a wrong thing to do, because in her eyes, without a bond between them he would've taken the "abandonment" better. But that's just what we think! Anyway, have a good day, afternoon or evening!

How the landfolk do their hair

Author's note: This, along with my previous short story, "Rose-Tinted Ego," are from an Azurido fanfic I started writing a couple of months ago. I'm not sure if I'll finish it (it's over 11k words long and I'm not even halfway done with what I planned), so I decided to post excerpts of a few of the parts I like the best for now!

Context: Over winter break, the Queen is hosting a gala and has specifically requested for the Rosehearts family to attend. Mrs. Rosehearts has come to NRC to collect Riddle, who she hasn't spoken to for months. Azul volunteers to come with Riddle, claiming that he would like to take the chance to learn magic from the perspective of a different member of the Great Seven. Is he coming for his own gain, or is he making an excuse because he is concerned for Riddle? Who knows? Mrs. Rosehearts agrees, pleased with the idea of another NRC student (one from a different dorm, at that) looking up to her son. At this point in the story, the three are about to set off.

One final note: Brief mention about Azul's dieting and Mrs. Rosehearts being strict about food. It's very mild, but I'd rather not make anyone uncomfortable, just in case.

Azul was nothing if not prepared for nearly every possible scenario. Although being dragged along on a whirlwind trip with his academic rival and his academic rival’s mom was not something he anticipated this winter, he still had some basic plans. “Floyd,” he said while collecting four of his best pairs of shoes, “You must keep everyone outside of my office. Don’t touch any of my personal belongings, or else I’ll make a big batch of unagi nigiri out of you.”

“You’re going to play at kingyo-chan’s house?” Floyd threw himself at the edge of Azul’s bed and began to bounce. “Without us?”

“What did I just say about touching my personal belongings?”

“Well, teeeeechnically, your bed’s the property of Night Raven College.”

“Oh, you want to be a little smarty-pants right now?” Sighing, he turned to Jade leaning against the door of his bedroom. “Jade, you’re in charge. Keep your brother in check, will you?”

Jade nodded. “That goes without saying.”

As he finished collecting his clothes, he retrieved a lengthy document from a locked drawer in his desk and gave it to Jade. It contained every single contingency plan for how to operate the dorm in his absence. There shouldn’t be much of a problem, given that most of the students were away for the break. Jade was fairly experienced as a vice-housewarden, so he knew that he was reliable. Floyd was…Floyd. If he felt bored, he could burn down the dorm for his own amusement. Azul hoped that he’d at least find students in other dorms, like Scarabia, to terrorize before such a dreadful thought crossed his mind.

After they had finished packing, Mrs. Rosehearts had immediately sent for another ferry out of Sage’s Island. It was seldom that such boats came to the island during the off-season, but for a woman with status, anything was possible. Realizing that the journey was long, Azul was almost going to mention the fact that they could easily teleport by magic mirror.

“Don’t,” Riddle grabbed his arm and whispered, “Or she’ll make me visit more often.”

The ferry had dropped them off at the Cite des Fleurs in the Shaftlands; from there, they took a first-class train all the way to the Queendom of Roses. The train was fast and impressive, traveling both on land and through a series of underwater tunnels. In the meantime, the passengers were served a complimentary dinner.

When the waiter approached Azul, he had said, “It is our deepest pride and greatest honor to serve the finest foods in all of the Shaftlands--please, be our guest!”

The hospitality was certainly memorable; the tableware was enchanted, and the train waitstaff cast spells to make the spoons and forks dance and sing. Throughout the whole affair, Azul was fiercely taking mental notes. Could they pull off something like this in the Mostro Lounge? The food, however, was abysmal, but that was his own doing. He had spotted a million lovely dishes on the menu, and ended up with the simplest salad known to man and merfolk. By all means, the ingredients were fresh and the dressing was well-made, but Azul had eaten plenty of salads every day, and they all tasted like nothing at this point.

“See,” Mrs. Rosehearts remarked, pointing to Azul, “he’s eating something nutritious.”

Riddle pushed around a chunk of aubergine in his ratatouille. His own meal was made of vegetables. How much more healthy was it supposed to get?

Although he kept silent, Mrs. Rosehearts continued to berate him. “Look at you, you’re using the wrong fork. That’s a salad fork, not a dinner fork! Have you forgotten your dining etiquette? And your meal simply has too much oil in it. You know what? I’m telling the waitstaff!”

Mrs. Rosehearts took Riddle’s plate and chased down one of the poor staff members as he made his way into the next train car. Riddle looked at Azul helplessly and said, “I could have sworn I picked up the right fork. See, look, my dinner fork is where my salad fork should be. Maybe something happened during the dinnertime show.”

He looked so helpless, like a boy who was lost to this world. For the millionth time that day, Azul surprised himself by speaking up. “You used the wrong fork, huh? You know, under the sea, we don’t really have forks, or spoons. We mostly eat things with our hands, fins, tentacles, by phagocytosis…you get the idea.”

“Really? How curious. Well, I suppose that’s the etiquette there.”

“Yes, that’s just how it is. I didn’t even have a chance to see how landfolk actually use forks until I immigrated to…erm, the land. I used to go to restaurants and treat forks like complimentary combs! I collected a few and would sometimes use them to comb my bangs like this," he gave an exaggerated demonstration of curling the ends of his seafoam-white hair. "Jade didn’t know any better and collected forks for me, but Floyd…oh, that sucker, he knew this whole time and didn’t say a word, no matter how many times people stared at me! He never bothered to say, 'hey Azul, that's not how the landfolk actually do their hair.' I would even sing to myself while sitting in front of the vanity…good grief.”

Riddle allowed himself a small smile. “Wow, my mother would see you a bit differently if she knew that.”

“Just a bit?”

“You’re right. She’d chuck you off this train if she could.”

They laughed together, just for a nice, long moment, until they grew self-aware. What were they doing here, two students from an elite school, who were constantly head-to-head on the exam leaderboards? They weren't even friends. Aside from discussing classwork once in a while and attending housewarden meetings, their paths seldom crossed. Why now did Azul have to be so involved in something so embarrassingly personal to Riddle, such as his family’s affairs?

#disney twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland #twst #azul ashengrotto #riddle rosehearts #azurido #floyd leech #jade leech #twst fic #if you have constructive criticism for my writing I would love to hear it!#couldn't help making some Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid references :)

Why does Mayu dislike Kokomo?

I wouldn't really say she dislikes Komomo so much as she's disappointed in Komomo, which is of course worse.

There are a few wrestlers in Stardom right now whose like, defining character trait is how much they LOVE WRESTLING, just as like, as a physical artform, the techniques, the matches, the fighting. That's not Komomo. Momo loves Stardom, specifically Stars, extra-specifically Stars from around 2018-19, when they were defined by Mayu/Arisa/Saki/Tam as the core of the unit. She idolizes that era of the unit a LOT - that's why she specifically requested to join Stars, even despite Tam and Unagi rolling out the reverse-psychology red carpet to try and invite her to Cosmic Angels.

But even out of those four, Saki is her #1, her bias, her babygirl. For a while she had this belief that Stars is SO GREAT that she would be able to bring back all the former members just by asking them, though she's pretty much gotten over that. But even with her Oedo Tai ways, Momo's love for Saki has not diminished in the slightest. She's uh. Maybe even a little into it.

Okay, maybe a lot into it.

In their 5 Star match, Saki said Momo could either have a free signed photobook, or she could have the two points from their match. Momo said "Easy, the signed photobook, no question. And then I'll just beat you anyway." Saki tried to make her give the photobook back once she actually pulled it off but it seemed like she just liked that too.

So anyway, despite clearly being the best wrestler of all time, Momo performs pretty poorly as far as actual results. She's not really a rookie any more, not that she's extremely experienced, but she's been wrestling for a few years and should kind of be doing better than she does; the idea is she basically loves Stardom too much to just focus on the fact that she's actually there now and should be trying to win.

So she teams with Mayu in Tag League this year. It's a dream come true for Momo and she is SO DETERMINED to make Mayu proud. Mayu is... supportive, basically saying she thinks Momo has potential, but lacks discipline, so she's not sure how it'll go. At one point she says "Komomo could be my best tag partner ever or my worst tag partner ever, that's up to her."

They do... okay? I'd say, better than you'd expect from a "one of the strongest people in the company and an underperforming rookie" team. But Mayu knows Momo's trying, and that's what counts. They do get some wins that are decent for them, but some disappointing losses too.

But their opponents on the last day are Team We Love ToSpo, Saki and Fukigen Death, and Momo shows up looking like this:

(In case you can't make it out, her extra gear all says "Saki Kashima" and "LOVE")

They actually win the match, thanks to Mayu "I definitely don't pay attention to or care about Saki Kashima" Iwatani pinning Saki with her own move, but Mayu is PISSED at Komomo for going into this match where she is supposed to be her tag partner completely decked out in Saki stan gear. Saki Kashima, who did betray her horribly. She says she's not taking it seriously enough, that the rest of Stars give her dirty looks for this stuff, that this is why Hazuki gave up on training her.

Komomo is gutted. She says this is who she is but she doesn't want to let Mayu down and doesn't want Stars to hate her, so she'll reflect on it and work really hard to make them proud. She enters Triangle Derby alongside Mayu and Hanan, and it's not quite clear whether she specifically asked for that to be their team, or if she's just happy with the team she was assigned. Hanan constantly assumes everything in Stars is great so she's happy as a clam. Mayu is pissed though, and while she seems to feel maybe a little bad for coming off so harsh after last time, she also REALLY doesn't want to deal with that shit again.

Idk if you've seen the gifs/clips, anon/readers, of Hazuki slapping the absolute shit out of Komomo in their match in December, but that's what it was about. Komomo was so excited to wrestle against Stars and got caught up doing the kuma dance with Koguma, and Hazuki slaps the daylights out of her not because she hates her or something, but because she's being a Stardom stan first and a wrestler second AGAIN.

So so far, that's been Komomo's story in Triangle Derby. She's trying SO, SO HARD to squash down the stan part of herself, and is managing to try really hard and wrestle seriously! They fought Saki's team, Gold Ship, in their very first match, Momo specifically volunteered to go first, AND tried to call out Saki to prove she would fight her seriously this time. (Saki ignored her, obviously, but once they were in the ring together Komomo did pull it off!) They also fought their Stars teammates again, and once again this time Momo took it very seriously instead of getting caught up like she did in the past. H&M's lost both times, but Hazuki said she could tell Momo was really trying to win and that's the part of her she loves to see.

But it hasn't translated to success. H&M's are the only team in the tournament, aside from Lollipop, Waka Tsukiyama's team, that haven't won a single match yet. And if you know who Waka is you know their goal is literally just to win one match, so that's a pretty pathetic comparison for the team that has Mayu in it.

And that being the nature of tournaments, that's where things are at now. We'll have to keep watching to see how things go for Mayu and Komomo. Personally, I really, really want Momo to fail at keeping her ultra stan aura down and absolutely explode on Mayu, brutally turning on her and at the same time finally getting the full, complete Stars experience. I'm kidding, mostly, but I do hope she leaves Stars. I think if the story ends up just being "she squashed down the part of herself that loves this more than anything and eventually started winning" that would be a major fucking bummer.

As for where she could go if things do shake out that way, I would accept pretty much anywhere. I think lots of people see her joining Oedo Tai to be with Saki, and I wouldn't complain about that at all. However, if I can be selfish and just pick one, well, there's one team that loves weirdoes who are too passionate about the things they care about, that she's teamed with before, that have her old friend with them, that even invited her to join them once.

I don't know how likely it might be, but there's not a shred of doubt in my mind as to where I hope she ends up.

Anyway thank you for reading, have some Komomo pics I love her so, so much that's my WIFE

#Stardom #joshi puroresu #Momo Kohgo #this ended up WAY longer than I expected lol add Komomo to the list of 'don't even get me started' ig #long post #my writing

Since requests are still open, could you please do an Itachi x Uekiya fanfic :). I love seeing a tough unapproachable person being swooned by someone who's basically the opposite of them.

yes omg!! i couldn't work on this for a while bc i was busy but oml i laid in bed thinking about this!! are we ready for some angst and comfort?

With enough force to make the surrounding bamboo tremble, Itachi tumbled backwards and hit the ground. Budo stood over him, shaking out his wrist. "I gotta hand it to you, Zametora-kun, your endurance and strength are incredible."

Itachi swiped his fist across his mouth to wipe off the blood from biting his cheek. "But?"

"But nothing. It's just a compliment."

Itachi jumped to his feet, jabbing his finger into Budo's chest. "Don't pretend like you're the bigger man, asshole. In your head, you're probably spouting bullshit about how I'm wasting my potential without martial arts."

"Nothing as crass as that. Just that you lack technique. Because of that, you shouldn't be so quick to criticize my club members." Budo gestured to Sho, who was watching the match with Unagi. Sho returned to Budo's side and the two of them left the Japanese garden. Itachi stood in one spot up until they left, staring down at the ground.

Unagi slowly approached him. "Hey, man, let's-"

"Don't fucking talk to me like we're pals," Itachi warned. "Get lost or I'll show you that brute strength Masuta was talking about."

Unagi bristled at the harsh words. "I can't wait for Rito-senpai to finish her training," he muttered before heading to the locker room. After a few minutes, Itachi slowly trudged out of the garden, but rather than turn left to get ready for the sports club meeting, he turned right towards the school's exit. He couldn't face his members in this disgrace. Especially Mantaro, who idolized Budo the way he did. He was embarrassed and enraged; why had Budo challenged him just for giving his club member a little smack talk? Sho needed to be taken down a peg, anyway. His ideals weren't realistic. Budo didn't need to demolish Itachi's pride for something like that, surely. He couldn't even take solace in accepting defeat; instead he'd gotten mad and antagonized his opponent. Even his own club member was sick of him. Things couldn't continue as normal; not for today, at least.

As he wallowed in his rage, he heard a gentle voice. "Zametora-kun? Is that you?" Itachi looked up to his right and saw Uekiya standing at the entrance to the gardening club, hugging a potted flower to her chest. When their eyes met, her face melted into a radiant smile. "It's so rare to see you around here, but it's a pleasant surprise. Is your club not meeting today?"

Itachi bared his teeth in a painful grimace. "Leave me alone."

Uekiya tilted her head, somehow unfazed. "Did something happen?"

"I said to-" Itachi interrupted himself when he caught sight of the plant in Uekiya's arm. "Shouldn't you be wearing gloves before handling a plant like that?"

Uekiya glanced between the flower and Itachi, a sparkle growing in her eyes. "So you know this flower?"

"It's a Japanese iris. Even touching it can hurt you."

Uekiya smiled brightly. "I never imagined you'd know so much about flowers! You're right, I probably should have put gloves on. People have been talking about a cat wandering around the school grounds, so I was in a rush to move it. It would be horrible if the cat chewed on it and got sick!" She eyed Itachi carefully. "Would you like to help me decide where to put it?"

Itachi scoffed and looked away. "As if I care what happens to a damn cat."

"Well, I'm going to move the plant regardless, but I need to pick a spot where it'll get enough sunlight and look good with the other plants. A second opinion never hurts with this kind of thing!"

Itachi glared down at the ground. He had no reason to play along with something silly like this. But he was also this close to punching something. He needed some way to soothe his nerves. His shoulders slumped as he sighed and turned to enter the gardening club.

"Oh, thank you!" Uekiya said enthusiastically. Itachi surveyed the club, taking stock of its layout. The other members were around, but after casting one glance in his direction, returned to their respective tasks. If they felt intimidated or repulsed or even amused by his presence, they didn't show it.

Over the next half hour, Uekiya and Itachi tried their best to find a spot for the iris, but instead wound up discussing all of the other plants conserved in the gardening club. Akademi's resources had given the club several challenging plants with which to test their cultivation skills; including the seeds of an incredibly rare Middlemist's Red. When they finally chose a place for the potted iris, Uekiya spoke up, "You know, you remind me a bit of this flower."

Itachi reacted immediately. "Are you seriously comparing me to this weak thing?"

Anyone else might have flinched, but Uekiya giggled as if Itachi had been joking. "Irises aren't weak! They're so well-guarded that you shouldn't even touch them, let alone consume them. It's hard to appreciate their beauty when they make it so hard to get close, but if you're brave enough, you can see all the details that make it special." Itachi stared down at Uekiya, who was gazing up at the blooming iris. "Do you know what irises mean in the language of flowers?"

"Uh... it's purple, so royalty, right?"

"That's right! But it also means respect." Uekiya beamed up at Itachi. "I deeply respect you, Zametora-kun. You're so devoted to improving yourself. But every now and then, I hope that you can give yourself some time to stop and smell the roses as well. You can always come here if you need to. After all, the roses are right over there!" Uekiya laughed at her own corny joke, but Itachi didn't say anything. He was too taken aback by her honest admiration and desire to cheer him up. She didn't judge him for liking flowers as a man, or for his thorny personality. He'd never felt so accepted by anyone, not even Asu Rito.

As Uekiya's laughter died down, Itachi spoke quietly. "I will... come back some time soon. Show me more flowers like this."

"I'd be happy to," Uekiya said with a soft smile.

"Uekiya-nee!" Himari called out. "We're all done here, so we're heading home. Don't stay too late!"

"Goodness," Uekiya exclaimed, "Is it that time already? I'd better lock up the shed and head home." Uekiya began fussing about the garden, leaving Itachi frozen in place.

"Um... can I help?" he awkwardly called out.

"That's alright, Zametora-kun! You can go home if you'd like."

But he didn't want to go home.

"I think I'll stay... maybe, uh... walk you home?" Uekiya stopped suddenly, turning to look at him in surprise. Itachi immediately backpedaled. "Because there's rumors about a psycho going around, you know?! If something happens to you, you can't keep your promise."

Uekiya smiled, her cheeks dusted with pink. "Thank you for your protection," she said brightly.

The journey home was awkward, but it was the start of many other offers to escort Uekiya home. After all, they both knew that all kinds of blossoms needed careful tending to.

Even blossoming feelings.

⭐ | COMMISSION I : Inazuma's Gordon Ramsay

"... If you're trying to make Dango Milk, this one failed to the point I can't tell if you're trying."

That was the first thing Kunimitsu said upon receiving the sample, and he couldn't tell if he made an honest mistake taking this commission without Navina.

He had decided to (against his better judgement) take the commissions for today, or most of them. The informant had thought of splitting it with him, but after yesterday, he decided not to and take most of the harder ones that would give them a headache.

This was one of them, and Kuni had second thoughts of revoking this commission if it weren't for the bonus of the food.

"Give me that," the wanderer said with a scoff, grabbing the sample before pulling out a few ingredients of his own.

"If you want to make it like how that guy does it, add in more of the taste of Dango than milk. That will make it taste less like it's just milk with new branding."

Despite the looks of concern to the restaurant owner, Wanderer's honest reviews were one that he didn't knew about Inazuman cuisine. There were some that were truly lacking, and he had all but told him to quit it while he's ahead.

Instead, he had offered something for him to work with— even if it's at the expense of being chewed out for his slights.

"As for the Unagi Chazuke, this tastes like the tea isn't even fucking tea. What are you thinking when you made this? Porridge?" he scowled, irate at the dish.

"You know what? Whatever. What ingredients did you use to make this thing?"

"Uh, eel meat, rice, salt, lampgr—"

"Lampgrass!?"

Now I see what the problem is. He can't cook for shit!

Standing up, he grabbed the bowl and stormed to the kitchen, yelling, "I'll cook the chazuke! You lot need to learn what it means to cook this dish to perfection."

"H-Hey, you can't come into the kitch—"

The owner stopped as he saw Kunimitsu take off his hat before preparing the ingredients. Brows furrowed, he saw the latter pull out the ingredients... While replacing Lampgrass with Seagrass.

"Hey, moron," he called out to the owner, a scowl on his face. "Come here. I'm teaching you how to make Shimi Chazuke. If you can't make this with the right ingredients, I'd question how you graduate with those skills."

After grilling the chef of his skills for a few hours, he had finally managed to make something worth of his name. Kunimitsu had judge him in it, but after tasting what he created, he seem to nod in satisfaction.

"Finally," he muttered, taking another bite of the chazuke. "Some good fucking food."

Seeing the look of relief from the chef, he finished it and looked over at the other dishes, and he could already tell that some were... Improved. Well, mostly from his rigorous teaching.

"Hmph. Some of them are decent, at least," he commented, looking over at the chef once more. "The Sashimi Platter is fine, but your knife-work needs more improvement on some of these."

Pointing at another, he continues, "And your Wakatakeni needs more improvement. Do you want your customers to choke on the seaweed you picked? And the bamboo shoots? It's almost like you don't understand how some of these dishes work without making your customers suffocate."

Grabbing a few recipes he bought (and some he changed to his own method), he handed it to the chef, looking rather tired after dealing with what happened.

"Take this. Make sure you follow the recipe here and actually learn. If your customer complains you cook like shit, you failed as a chef."

And before the chef can even protest, he gathered his things and the free meal he was promised— which was the Sakura Tempura they made— before leaving.

He did looked down at the tempura that was packed, his brows furrowed in thought. He remembered vaguely that one of them liked fried food.

Hah. What a shame, he thought, chuckling under his breath. His eyes did have a gleam to it, but it didn't look promising.

It's not like he'll get this from them anytime soon.

Journal Four

The CNY holidays felt like it flew by quick. Did I have the most eventful holiday? No, not really but it doesn't deter from the fact that I appreciate long breaks. Something about where I just don't have to think about going through the motions of life and just be; the break from it all is well cherished. It doesn't mean that the holidays were 100% uneventful though.

What was initially planned to be an Art Jam session ended up being a small gathering for dinner with close friends. While I do love the idea where you can relax and do art together, the company shared over a warm meal was still a welcoming experience (albeit a not so welcoming experience for my wallet but sue me they had unagi and I haven't had it in years).

The unagi was really good but I can't say I feel the same for the pasta it was paired with. The pasta itself was also pretty spicy so it was a good thing I ordered some honey milk to ease the heat for my palate. Would I go there again? Sure! They had tons of other food items I haven't really explored yet. Would I get the pasta again? Probably not. There was an unagi burger and I couldn't help but feel that maybe I should've ordered that in the first place. A note to myself for next time I guess should the opportunity arises.

It wasn't a full blown hangout but we had fun conversing and enjoying our meals, snuck some bites in of eachothers' dinners. Walking around just to take photos of each was also fun. I told myself I would update my Instagram more but are we surprised that I want feed to look in a particular order before I upload the set from this outing? Definitely not me. (Probably not some of my close friends if they're reading this blog though har har.)

I also went to my mom's hometown Ipoh just a few days after said outing. We had dinner with my aunt and cousin and the tom yum and lamb we're really good. We went mostly because my mom wanted to check in with her sister to see how well the progress for my cousin's wedding was doing. They didn't look like they were under too much stress so that was relief to see.

I didn't stay for the wedding itself but from what I saw on my cousin's Instagram account, it fit her retro aesthetic really nicely and her photos looked radiant. I wonder if I'll look like that if I ever get married.

Overall it was a pleasant break, though I do wish I took advantage of the time to do my own personal creative projects like oh I don't know, start scrapbooking even though I have been telling myself for years to start but never actually getting around to doing so. I also invited a friend to see the new Spy x Family movie but I'm pretty tight on money at the moment (thank you capitalism and your crippling chokehold on attracting me with your cute and aesthetic merchandising ways).

I hope the screening is still available early next month. Should I just watch it this coming week anyway? I feel like this blog is slowly becoming a food blog to be honest. Not that it's inherently a bad thing; it's just not quite me. Well you're definitely not finding out about the movie in this entry. 'Till next time my dear reader.

大家好! Where red meat is concerned, pork is mentioned more in this blog; my preferred red meat though, is duck, specifically roasted duck. Pork dishes are more accessible - many places sell them, which is why I eat pork more often - also, I love xiao long bao (soup dumplings) so... 😋 Once in awhile, the craving for my preferred red meat grows too strong and I dash to the nearest dining place for ya mian tang (duck noodle soup) with additional choy sum (Chinese flowering cabbage). After a satisfying meal of ya mian tang, it was time for guava juice.

Morning errands took me to a different part of the country; since I was there, might as well try the food. Their hawker centre was crowded and busy even on a Wednesday after most had started work. After searching for moderately healthy fare, I settled for jian cai yu pian mi fen tang (Chinese water spinach, sliced fish and vermicelli soup) since it was raining and soup is my comfort food. There were lots of veggies, the fish was tender and the clear broth was very tasty. My exploring mood took over, so after the meal, I headed to somewhere else and had soy bean drink instead of coffee.

I returned to the same hawker centre to try the other food stalls although I may not return that often since it's very out of the way. A meatless meal for me this time, comprising stewed fu pi (tofu skin) and tofu, fried tofu, stirfried cabbage with bean sprouts and carrot strips as well as stirfried okra and bee hoon (rice vermicelli). I've eaten better bee hoon, but it was still tasty and most importantly, moderately healthy. Star fruit and pear juice completed the meal. I may consider having more vegetarian meals since they taste pretty alright and can be very filling.

youtube

Grace had enough of drooling over photos of anago and unagi and asked me to take her to the restaurant; yes ma'am! She loved the thick ika (squid) sashimi slices as well as their unagi tamago donburi, but like Pa and me, she loved their anago donburi much more. Tender eel was simmered to feathery perfection and, without too much sauce, we tasted its natural freshness and fragrance. Grace ditched the car and we took the MRT together to and from the restaurant. She enjoyed the experience so much, she'll consider reducing her reliance on travelling by car in future.

youtube

How will I eat more vegetarian meals moving forward - I haven't thought about it but first and foremost, I hope to share 1 meal per post or at least once a week. The reason I'm willing to do this will be shared in the next post. If it all goes smoothly, the final goal is: 3 days' worth of meals will involve plant-based protein, 3 days' worth of meals will involve fish/seafood/eggs and 1 days' worth of meals will involve meat in any order. It will be a gradual process to give me time to get used to eating less fish and seafood, which I love; I'll also need time to tweak quantities since plant-based proteins usually lead to weight loss and I'm not looking to reduce my weight. 下次见！

Haru-chan！➕Shizuoka➕About Myself〜！Yumigeta Ako (23.07.01)

Good eveningー！

Today's blog is long！

👆A harmonious photo of Gettaa and Haru-san🫶

Thank you very much for all of your comments yesterday！

From rabbits to Getter Robo、to karaoke reading all of your stories was really fun！！

Today I'll talk about my hometown of Shizuoka and a bit more about myself〜✨

First up about my hometown！

Everyone、have you ever been to Shizuoka？？？

When you think of Shizuoka

There's tea、unagi pie、mikans、wasabi、Cocco…

There are so many delicious things♡‪🍵🍊

One that is particularly delicious is

The hamburg steak from Sawayaka Genkotsu！！！

It's reaaaaaally delicious❤️‍🔥

Eating it once makes you want to eat it 2、3 more times、、、That's how wonderful this hamburg steak is…✨

Please try it if you ever come to Shizuoka！

Then about eel pie！

Eel pies are made by a company called 《春華堂(Shunkado)》と！

春華堂

Shunkado…？

Harukado…？

The kanji are the same as Haru-chan's name！！！！

『A famous product from Yumigeta's hometown、is the 春華堂 eel pie』

You can feel the fateful connection of 17ki〜笑lol

It makes me kinda happy♡

Plus Shizuoka has a fairly low snowfall rate。Apparently some places barely get any at all！

I've only experienced snow 3 times in Shizuoka〜⛄️

I used to seriously not know anything about snow、

Sometimes me and my friends would get really excited going 「It's snowingー！」 when it was actually just dust floating in the air 笑lol

Of course now I know what it looks like〜！

｡oＯo｡.:♥:.｡oＯo｡.:♥:.｡oＯo｡.:♥｡oＯo｡.:♥:.

Next I'll talk about myself in more detail！

🧚🏻‍♀️Born on July 8th

🧚🏻‍♀️A type blood

🧚🏻‍♀️My top 5 anime songs are

「Akane Sasu」 (Natsume's Book of Friends Ending song)

「Ichiban no Takaramono」(Angel Beats!)

「You」 (Higurashi When They Cry)

「Hero too」 (Boku no Hero Academia)

「Lion」 (Macros F)

It's these！I have loa〜ds more！

🧚🏻‍♀️My favourite anime is

「Boku no Hero Academia」！

I love Jirou Kyoka-chan🎸

🧚🏻‍♀️I love cooking！

🧚‍♀️I'm often told that I look like I'd been in a sports club but I'm actually in the culture club…

🧚‍♀️I did Musical Theatre from kindergarten until 3rd grade！

I quit in 4th grade、because I started participating in regional travelling musicals！

That's about it！

Please let me know if there's anything else you want to ask about me！

I'll try and answer them in my next blog👍🏻

✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼

Now for today's 【Gettaa Life】！

Today I had a lesson with Inoue-san〜🐍

During our break we talked about our first impressions of each other！

To tell you the truth

Although we're really close now we didn't actually talk until the start of our training camp！

And each of our conversations only lasted about 5 seconds 笑lol

The reason we became friends is because I spilled jelly on the table and we cleaned it up together！

How nostalgic… and kinda emotional🥲

I'm glad that my one and only gen mate in the world is Inoue-san〜！

I hope we can become true partners to each other who can fight lots while still being really close！

What did I Getted today…

It's a bit different to the actual meaning of Gettaa Life

But today I Getted

「First Generation Two Shot」！

(The first one taken by one of us📸)

That's right、today is actually the first time that we took a photo together by ourselves！

The first step on our journey to becoming partners 笑lol

I'm glad we could take this photo♡

Please continue to support 17ki！

That's all！This has been 【Gettaa Life】！

Finally please let me make an announcement！

★Fan Club Member Limited Event★「Morning Musume。'23 New Member First FC Event～17ki Inoue Haruka・Yumigeta Ako～」 will be held！

Awww sure! I wasn't planning to but I'll make one for you guys 🥰 @lucigirl-katie @unagi-is-not-eel A little epilogue for this cause why not?!

For those without context:

<- Part 1

<- Part 2

<- Part 3

The Morning After

Lucifer wakes up as early as he can and rushes to your room immediately. He didn't even bother to change out of his night clothes - that's how desperate he is.

Of course, he facepalms as soon as he gets there. The rest of them are already up and bumbling about, outside your room.

"What is the meaning of this? Why are all of you crowding around here?"

All of them in their pajamas turn to look at him, judging silently. He was here too, just like the rest of them after all.

"You weren't the only person in MC's dream last night, Lucifer." Satan scoffed and pressed his ear to your door.

"I think I hear something. Footsteps! MC's awake!" Levi said excitedly.

"Oi MC! You awake?! Can we come in?" Mammon knocked on the door rapidly.

The door swung open and you appeared. Fresh out of bed, hair and clothes dishevelled with an expression of annoyance.

"I've been up since 6 thanks to your never ending bickering. I thought I'd sleep through it but nope." You yawned and tousled your own hair.

"Sorry MC, we just- we had to come see you!" Asmo piped in, before pulling you into a hug.

"Aww Asmo, you left your beauty sleep early just to come and see me? You guys know I literally live here with you- oof! Levi?!" You exclaimed as Levi hugged you from behind.

"Hey! Move aside, I'm MC's first, why are y'all holding them before me?!" Mammon complained.

"Again Mammon, noone else cares about that except you." Satan said, piling on the hug pile from the side. "Good morning, MC. Indulge our misbehavior just this once, okay?"

"Don't be silly, MC's always constantly indulging us." Belphie smiled holding you from the other side.

"Thank you, MC." Beel piled on right behind Belphie while Mammon growled and tried to take Asmo's place.

Lucifer just stood there, veins popping from his forehead, his arms crossed in front of him.

"I see we're doing group hugs this morning." You laughed. It was overwhelming yet it felt good to see everyone getting along even for a little while.

"Idiots. The whole lot of them." Lucifer muttered, trying to pull some of them off. "Let go of MC, all of you are suffocating them in there."

"Actually, you can join in Lucifer. It isn't so bad." You said with a cheery smile. His furrowed brows smoothened out and he quietly joined in.

It was your turn to cook breakfast today, and yet all of them were in the kitchen with you. Surprisingly they were getting along way better than usual.

"Guys, this is...isn't this too much food for breakfast? I doubt even Beel wants to eat this much just for one meal?" You noticed how much they cooked up.

"Didn't Lucifer tell ya? We're going on a picnic today." Mammon said, carrying a basket of drinks and cups. "Now grab that bag over there and let's go."

The journey was shorter than expected and the place was...wait what?!

You stared ahead at the green plains, with white flowers and wild grass scattered around in patches. A gentle river flowed by the side. Only sunshine was replaced by gleaming moonlight. The place from your dreams.

"This was Lilith's favorite place in the Celestial realm. Diavolo recreated it for Lucifer's sake." Beel said, taking the bag you were carrying. "You've been here before, right?"

You looked at him suprised. But he only gave you a knowing smile and walked ahead to where they were putting down a sheet on the grass. The exact place where you and Lilith sat.

Did he...did they all know?

"Yes. We know, MC. We were there last night." Satan appeared next to you. "And we are grateful."

You looked ahead again to see them all calling for you. You took Satan's outstretched hand and walked towards them. It was the happiest they'd ever looked.

And you just knew Lilith was there, dancing around in joy too.

#obey me #obey me fluff #obey me angst #obey me leviathan #obey me lucifer #obey me satan #obey me beel #obey me mammon #obey me belphie #obey me asmo #obey me imagine #obey me levi

I think the strongest evidence that Suki will not hate Azula is because she would have done the same to her if she was in her place, if not worse lol

The Warriors of Kyoshi:

Oyaji: [Voice-over.] "You three have some explaining to do."

The camera moves even further to the left, revealing the back of one of the woman dressed in green that ambushed the group earlier.

Suki: [Voice-over.] "And if you don't answer all our questions, we're throwing you back in the water with the Unagi."

[...]

Oyaji: [Cut to frontal view of Suki and Oyaji who angrily points at Aang while looking at Suki.] "Throw the impostor to the Unagi!"

Suki and the rest of her warriors immediately retract their metal fans from out of their belts and slid them open. Ready to counter any sudden attack, they threateningly start to move forward and surround the bound friends. Cut to a close shot of Katara as she leans forward in the ropes, glancing to her right where Aang is bound to the pole.

The purpose of Unagi are extinguishing fires and execution. (according to Avatar wiki)

In Kyoshi Island, children are being recruited for security, children even can be executed like we seen with Aang when they suspect the Gaang were Fire Nation spies. The Kyoshi Warriors alongside Suki take action with no hesitation.

So yes, it's true that Suki is unbothered by Azula's treatment or strategy, other than anger over defeat, but there's no grudge or resentment towards her at all which is consistent with the feelings she gives off in the show portrayal.

P.S and if you would accept that part of The Search as canon, Suki was shocked when Zuko decided to bring tea to his family. She told him "they're your prisoners, not your guests."

The same is true for the Fire Nation, too.

"If [Kuzon (a.k.a Aang)] acts up one more time, I'll have him sent to reform school—by which I mean the coal mines." -Headmaster, The Headband episode

Coal mines reform school, we are not talking about criminals but "disruptive" students. They're all minors.

Yandere Sim-quotes-shitpost

Hello!

I found some quotes on Tumblr and I thought some of them would fit the Yandere Simulator characters. Yeah...

Ayano and the Rivals

Taro: Remember when you said you weren't going to interfere with my love life?

Hanako: No. That doesn't sound like me at all.

------------------------------------

Ayano: You rude gardening tool!

Osana: ...Did you just indirectly call me a hoe?

------------------------------------

Amai: I'm having problems with a boy.

Ayano: Like "his dead body won't fit into your trunk" problems or "you like him" problems?

Amai: "I like him" problems.

Ayano: Too bad, I could have helped with the other one.

------------------------------------

Amai: Let's go out and get waffles! You like waffles, right?

Oka: [completely monotone, without even looking up] More than life itself.

------------------------------------

Kizana: You have beautiful eyes.

Taro: Thank you, they're really great at seeing things.

------------------------------------

Ayano: I love you.

Ayano: I love you as much as I hate Osana.

Taro: ...

Info-Chan: It means she loves you very, very much.

------------------------------------

Kizana: Compliment me.

Taro: Uh, you, you have eyes.

Kizana:

Kizana: [shrugs] I'll take it.

------------------------------------

Kizana: Out of my way, extras!

Taro: Stop calling people extras just because you don't know them!

------------------------------------

Hanako: I'm doomed!

Ayano: Well, you lived a good life, right?

Hanako: I'm only fourteen!

Ayano: I said good, not long.

------------------------------------

Ayano: I could kill you if I wanted to, Kina.

Muja: Yeah? So could a different person!

Ayano: ...

Muja: So could a dog!

Muja: So could a dedicated duck!

Muja: You aren't so special!

------------------------------------

Ayano: If I cut off my leg and swing it at your head, am I kicking you or hitting you?

Oka: You'll most likely mentally scar me more than anything else.

------------------------------------

Info-Chan and Ayano

Info-Chan: From now on, we fuck up everything together.

Ayano: Good.

------------------------------------

Info-Chan: [hacker voice] I'm in.

Ayano: I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to say 'hacker voice'.

------------------------------------

Ayano: I guess...maybe I'm just a bad person.

Info-Chan: No, you're not a bad person. You're a terrific person. You're my favorite person! But sometimes you can be a real motherfucker.

------------------------------------

Ayano: Destiny is calling!

Info-Chan: I wish destiny would lose our number.

------------------------------------

Info-Chan: Plot twist! You are your crush's crush.

Ayano: Unrealistic. Blocked.

------------------------------------

Info-Chan: Wha-- Ayano, what are you doing in my room, it's three in the morning--

Ayano: [urgently] Teach me how to use emojis.

------------------------------------

Info-Chan: God, I hate him.

Ayano: Me too.

Info-Chan: You have no idea who I'm talking about.

Ayano: Solidarity, partner.

------------------------------------

Info-Chan: Alright. We'll see if we can break in. But be subtle.

Ayano: Yeah, yeah. [proceeds to kick down the door dramatically]

Info-Chan: [sighs] That's not subtle.

------------------------------------

Info-Chan: My partner is very sorry and she didn't mean it.

Ayano: I'm very sorry.

Info-Chan: See?

Ayano: But I did mean it.

Info-Chan: AYANO!

------------------------------------

Ayano: How did you find me?

Info-Chan: Well, I saw the huge explosion and thought, "now, who could that be?"

------------------------------------

Ayano: Can you do me a weird favor without asking any questions?

Info-Chan: Isn't that the bedrock upon which our friendship was founded?

------------------------------------

Info-Chan: [putting on makeup] I need to look pretty for senpai.

Ayano: Who's your senpai?

Info-Chan: Myself.

------------------------------------

Midori being stupid and/or weird

Midori: A lot people want to kill me... I take great pride in that.

------------------------------------

Midori: Alright, let's go over the plan one more time. If one of us dies first, what will the other one do?

Mai: Locate the corpse and move the body so it looks like it's dabbing.

Midori: Exactly!

------------------------------------

Midori: What's up? I'm back.

Pippi: We all literally saw you die. You died. You were dead.

Midori: Death is a social construct.

------------------------------------

Kuu: You want a latte or a caramel macchiato?

Midori: I'm mature now. I only drink espresso shots.

Kuu: Why are your hands shaking?

Midori: This is my fifth one. I think I have a problem.

------------------------------------

Midori: What does the chef recommend?

Clerk: Miss, this is a McDonald's.

------------------------------------

Midori: You lying, cheating piece of shit! You're not the woman I married!

Mai: Then we'll get divorced, and I'm taking the pets!

Kuu: [slides the Monopoly board away from them] I think we should stop playing now.

------------------------------------

Midori: If literature is literally lit, wouldn't it be lit is lit lit?

Ayano: Just eat the goddamn waffles.

------------------------------------

Ryuto: It sounds like bones breaking.

Midoru: Bones? Hah! Where we're going, we don't need bones.

Ryuto: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!

------------------------------------

Midori: DON'T BE SORRY! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT AN ANGEL! YOU AT LEAST TRIED TO HELP US, WHICH WAS VERY SWEET OF YOU!!

Kuu: You're yelling kind things at me again and it is making me very confused.

------------------------------------

Midori: Look, guys, the hotel left us these little candies in the bathroom!

Midori: [eats one and starts gagging]

Midori: It was soap.

------------------------------------

Midori: The human caloric requirement is 1500 to 2500 depending on the person.

Midori: 1 gallon of gasoline contains enough calories to satisfy that requirement for 12400 to 20600 days, or 34 to 56.5 years.

Midori: Therefore, if I chug a gallon of gasoline, I won't need to eat for the rest of my life.

Kaga: ...

Kaga: ...Well, strictly speaking, you're absolutely correct.

------------------------------------

Ayano: Midori, you go cause a distraction!

Midori: Right!

[later]

Midori: [throwing raisins around] Raisins! Raisins! They used to be grapes!

------------------------------------

Midori: I'm the smartest, most skilled student in Akademi.

Ayano: Are you stuck in that candy machine?

Midori: I paid for my Rolos, I'm getting my Rolos!

------------------------------------

Ryuto: Midori has no survival or self-preservation instincts. I think he was made without them.

Pippi: That can't be true--

Ryuto: Hey Midori! Race you downstairs!

Midori: [jumps out the window]

------------------------------------

Midori: Can I ask you an important question?

Mai: Of course, what is it?

Midori: Do bees have eyelashes?

Mai:

Midori:

Mai: [pulls out his phone and opens Google]

------------------------------------

Midori: Welcome to my very first vlog, in which I try different hair products!

Midori: [sprays hairspray into her mouth]

Midori: Well, right off the bat, I can tell you this one isn't very good.

------------------------------------

Midori: I re-initialized the entire command structure, retaining all programmed abilities but deleting the supplementary preference architecture.

Gema: She turned it off and on again.

------------------------------------

Midori: Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite. Tonight. Imma fight. Till we see the sunlight. Tik Tok. On the clock. But the party don't stop.

Ayano, in the next room: Please behave like an adult for once.

------------------------------------

Osoro: I am gonna take you out.

Midori: Great! It's a date then!

Osoro: I MEANT THAT AS A THREAT--

Midori: See you at 6!

------------------------------------

Some random stuff with random characters

Efude: Look how cute these pens are!

Mai: That's gay, Efude.

Efude:

Efude: Mai, we have been dating-

------------------------------------

Riku: Is anyone else scared?

Kokona: Not really. I've already lived longer than I expected.

------------------------------------

Yaku: Hey, Homu! Wanna hear a chemistry joke?

Homu: ...

Yaku: ...Is that a no?

Homu: Sorry. Were you expecting a reaction?

Yaku:

Yaku: [starts to cry]

------------------------------------

Kaga: Just wanted to make sure my favorite hot mess is still alive. I don't need words, just a response of any sort. Okay, hope you're living!

Geiju: [GARBLED SCREAMING]

Kaga: That's sufficient!

------------------------------------

Budo: I sent good vibes your way. They're coming. There is nothing you can do to stop them.

Shin: ...That's the most threatening way I have ever been cheered up.

------------------------------------

Sumire: We're playing Scrabble. It's a nightmare.

Sakura: Scrabble? Scrabble's great.

Sumire: Not when you're playing with Meka, it's not. She puts words like "ephemeral". I put "dog".

------------------------------------

Kokona: Please turn on the lights.

Riku: I don't have to. You're the only light I need in my life.

Kokona: That's very sweet.

Kokona: But I can't see.

------------------------------------

Ryoba: [on the phone] Just snap his kneecaps and he'll talk. I'm at a parent-teacher conference.

Ryoba: Anyway, so Ayano is enjoying her visual art classes? That's great.

------------------------------------

Shoku: I've never smoked marijuana. I ate a brownie once at a party. It was intense. It was kinda indescribable, actually. I felt like I was floating.

Shoku: Turns out, there wasn't any pot in the brownie. It was just a really good brownie.

------------------------------------

Umeji: Here's a fun Christmas idea. Hang mistletoe, but instead of kissing, you have to FIGHT whoever else's under it.

Unagi: No, we're not doing that--

Umeji: Someone's halls are getting DECKED!

------------------------------------

Juku: I'll have you know that I can bench press over six million and ninety-two nanograms.

Mina: Juku, that's less than two pounds.

Juku: It sounded better the way I said it.

------------------------------------

Borupen: You have eye bags.

Supana: They're Gucci.

------------------------------------

Riku: So I hear you like bad boys.

Kokona: Not really.

Riku: Oh, thank god.

------------------------------------

Horo: I have a science headcanon.

Meka: Can't you just say "hypothesis" like a normal person?

Horo: So my science headcanon is...

------------------------------------

Supana: Sure, I don't get a healthy amount of sleep like SOME people.

Supana: But can they do THIS?!

Supana: [stands up and immediately blacks out]

------------------------------------

Yeah that's it.

I can't tell you any sources because I found them randomly on Tumblr.

I hope you enjoyed it!

大家好! I haven't taken photos during regular walks because the heat has been unbearable; that was until I lifted my head and was greeted by a gorgeous swathe of vibrant green. There were others also walking along the pavements or cycling, a nod to our nation's call to prepare for healthy aging. Whether it's grandparents pushing their grandkids in prams or adults on their bicycles, people are being more active and that's great. Plus, it feels good to be out in the sun for short periods, even if the weather is so bloody hot right now.

I'm usually on the lookout for healthier dining options for Pa, so we visited a little diner which serves unpolished rice teng zai juk (sampan congee with lean pork, cuttlefish and peanuts). I added fish slices to our bowls, plus Thai style tofu and dou miao (pea sprouts) for us to share. This congee was surprisingly good and the only way I'll eat whole grains; I find it much more palatable because it's moist. More importantly, Pa and I enjoyed a healthy meal together and strengthened father and daughter bonds. To wash all that down: freshly squeezed pineapple, green apple and lemon juice without added sugar.

WL and I caught up over unagi and anago and he fell so much in love with the tenderness of both types of fish, he announced his intention to visit again within a week! We also tried the restaurant's sashimi and OMG the thick slabs of ika were delicious. The chutoro, salmon and hotate were also very yummy. There're several more catch ups lined up because I'm taking a much-needed break and doing stuff I previously didn't have the time nor mental energy for. It's been fun so far and I'm enjoying every minute!

Tofu, whether firm or soft, as well as fu pi (tofu skin), are delicious and I happily eat them, and I don't mind tempeh once in awhile. But man, I don't like the starchy texture of legumes and lentils; no matter how wellness posts shove these nasty things down my throat, I won't eat them. They're similar to wholegrains to me - disgusting unless they're made to taste decent. Recently I came across a low sodium chickpea pack, tried it, didn't mind it and bought another pack for Pa to try. They're not yummy enough for me to eat as part of a main meal like tofu or fu pi, but as a snack, I certainly am able to down a handful at a time.

Pa used to press me to eat more legumes and lentils (yuck forever) but now he realises it's far more rewarding to reach a compromise rather than see me miserable eating what I hate. On my part, I WILL eat stuff I normally won't IF it's palatable. From there, we find common ground and bond because healthy and delicious foods are always a pleasure to talk about. This is win win and it improves family ties. 下次见!

大家好! LW and I caught up this week for the first time in 4 years. I was so thrilled to see him that I forgot to take photos of the Japanese restaurant and the succulent sashimi which was our first dish. It was a pity because we enjoyed the thick and fresh fish slices, but the torched salmon mentaiki sushi and unagi kabayaki we shared were also delicious AND I remembered to snap a pic before we tucked in. Here's some of the yum.

Auntie and I celebrated her birthday at her favourite restaurant which serves Cantonese cuisine. I went nuts over the chilled cucumber slices marinated in soy sauce and sesame oil, so refreshing to eat now that our weather is scorching. To go with rice, we ordered double boiled chicken soup with abalone, conpoy, winter melon and (云南火腿) Yunan ham and goji berries, 小笼包 (pork broth dumplings), Chinese spinach stirfried with garlic and a whole salt baked chicken. We finished it all! And had fragrant Illy coffee!

Inflation remains the hottest conversation topic. Coffee shops are cleaner and more modern now, but footfall has reduced at some of them. It used to be hard finding a seat at the coffee shop I photographed below. Not any more, not even during weekend lunchtime, which was the time I visited for a local iced coffee. In a sense, it's better for me since I don't need to squeeze with large crowds.

Over the weekend, I found Grace and Douglas sharing an extra large 卤面 (Hokkien braised noodles). They stopped buying from the duck noodle stall where shrinkflation is ridiculous. I shared with them videos which recently caught my eye - food bank hauls. The reason we're fascinated is the belief that most Americans are very wealthy. No shame visiting one though; these are very tough times.

We have a long weekend because Monday and Tuesday are public holidays AND I was on leave on Friday, which explains the food porn. I'm catching up with L, the expat friend from China and I'll share about it in the next post. On Wednesday, the office is welcoming everyone back with a MacDonald's breakfast! Although many of us accumulated savings during covid restrictions, some, like me, aren't in a hurry to spend right now, especially when the situation is so volatile. 下次见!

Hihi all except warmongers, 大家好! On Friday, I caught up with my very first boss over dinner. This year is a special one; it marked 2 decades since we worked together! To celebrate, I asked him to take me out for a candlelight dinner 😋 KP (his initials) is married and I know his wifey, so no biggie. He took me to Il Cielo, a Japanese fusion restaurant.

Gorgeous. On the left was the champagne he ordered for us. We had a great time taking sarcastic swipes at each other, all in the name of fun, of course. He irritated me, I complained to the wait staff who laughed at my expense, and vice versa. It was a delightful time, which the food made even more enjoyable.

The first was a trio of appetisers, burrata wrapped in prosciutto, topped with a wafer, mini wafer cones containing crab topped with ikura and foie gras macaroons which we injected with truffle oil.

The second was snapper topped with salsa, served with a frothy mint sauce.

The next was unagi topped with pasta al dente, as well as a mixture of caviar and ebiko, served on a wasabi-sauce coated plate. We swirled the pasta over the plate before eating.

Finally fish prepared in different ways - sashimi (easily the best), roasted on a leaf and panfried with crispy skin. There wasn't room for dessert; we were so stuffed! Now that new COVID-19 infections have decreased in our community, I feel safer venturing out from time to time. This coming week, I'll also catch up with Chris who was an ex colleague twice! Looking forward to that.

Onto geopolitical discussions from sources outside of western MSM. Forgiveness was touched on in this interesting exchange. However, one must consider this. It is only human to take a very long time to forgive, especially for civilians losing loved ones during war. Some may take their hatred to their graves and pass on the animosity to future generations. Can you blame them though, when the US invaded their countries under some flimsy pretext or another?

Before I go, just to address what is erroneously reported in several western MSM about President Xi's speech during the CPC's centenary celebrations. No, he doesn't intend to leave Westerners' skulls cracked and bleeding. 头破血流 is a Chinese idiom, which means 'resounding defeat'.

I learnt Mandarin for over 10 years during schooldays and am relearning it now. It's been over a year since I resumed studying it. This is how most who understand the language will interpret the speech, at least along these lines.

Any hostile foreign nations seeking to oppress or bully China will not succeed due to the iron will of 1.4 billion Chinese citizens (I'll add here, as well as many ethnic Chinese around the world), which, metaphorically, forms the steel wall. Anyone who attempts to subjugate China will meet with resounding defeat.

I nearly died from laughter when I watched several western MSMs reporting angrily about cracked, bleeding skulls. The twisting of the message is so bizarre, it's sad and funny at the same time. Go on and get riled, or get your people riled. Raise their stress and cortisol levels, damage their health and mental well-being. The rest of us are just very amused.

Or, if you're open-minded enough to want to understand China, coexist peacefully with Asia and get wealthier together, I hope this interpretation, which isn't simply a lousy literal translation of an otherwise very motivating speech for Chinese citizens, helps you.

Till the next time, 下次见!
