I don't care what anybody says. The week between Christmas and New Year's is still Christmas time, and we should still listen to Christmas music and watch Christmas movies and bake Christmas cookies. Fight me.

AKEMI BELONGS TO @aka-lambda!

Merry Christmas, I'm so happy I met you! ❤️🌿🍒

“You should tell him, you know”

A young, high-pitched voice wormed its way through her thoughts, making her look away from the man’s distant shape to focus on the girl who stood next to her, her wide grin still visible on her cheeks even with the soft scarf around her neck.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about” she replied, her face suddenly hotter and redder despite the winter night’s chilly air, more self-conscious than she’d been just a few moments before.

The girl ignored her protests, huffing her breath over her gloved hands, her golden irises not really transfixed on their family, somehow lost and far away.

“You’re the luckiest among us all” she continued as Akemi had never spoken, rolling on her heels while the others’ screams and voices lightened up the atmosphere at the deserted temple.

Something uncomfortably similar to a pang of guilt clenched at the quirkless’ heart.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, as much as I love being in love, it’s not always as easy as I make it seem having my dear ones far away” Toga explained after staying silent for a bit, a sad sigh shaking her small figure. “Nor is knowing they probably hate me because of my love language” she added, her voice low and shy, almost a murmur. “I’m not the type to lose hope, and I’ll keep pursuing Izuku-kun and Ochacho-chan until they finally love me back, but waiting for a chance to even see them is so hard sometimes”

Akemi kept quiet, studying Himiko’s expression from the corner of her eye and hiding herself a little bit more in her own scarf, her rainbow tresses dangling softly around her.

“Sometimes I really envy you, Akemi-chan. And them, most of all” she added, pointing towards two lonely people in the distance with her chin. Even from their far away spot Hawks’ massive red wings were more than visible, quivering gently as Dabi’s long, warm fingers caressed through ruby feathers. The hero leaned in towards the arsonist, not minding their surroundings in the slightest as the two of them rang the bell and offered their prayers for New Year’s. The contact was barely there, but there was so much intimacy in that tiny gesture that Akemi had to turn her eyes from the couple, her chest tightening.

“I know Dabi-kun doesn’t trust Hawksie completely yet, but they’re still trying, every day, to be themselves around each other, to be real and truthful with each other despite their differences”. Another sigh. “What I’m trying to say is that you and Mister don’t have any of these problems. You’ve always fought for the same goal together, you don’t have to work on your trust issues with him to make sure he won’t betray you, and surely you won’t be on opposite sides of the battlefield when war comes, so what’s stopping you? Is it because you’re afraid of rejection?”.

Himiko furrowed her eyebrows, as Akemi found swallowing extremely hard, her pulse thundering in her own ears. “You’ll never know if it’s impossible if you don’t tell him, won’t you? Maybe he doesn’t reciprocate your feelings now, but that doesn’t mean you won’t ever be together. Maybe all he needs is a chance to look at you differently, men can be so oblivious sometimes!” she sounded exasperated now, but it was a good change from her rare dim mood. “Besides, I think the two of you would make a great couple! You’re both so funny, and you were both told your quirk - or lack thereof - was something to be ashamed of, something useless. Still, I would have never met Izuku-kun and Ochaco-chan last summer if it wasn’t for Mister, we wouldn’t have taken revenge on that Overhaul piece of shit for Big Sis Magne’s murder, and you were there too all along. You’re such a great support to us, Akemi-chan, and you’re family. Don’t ruin your chance at being happy, don’t let their voices convince you they were right about you, okay?”

There were so many thoughts in Akemi’s head she found herself unable to even open her mouth, so distracted by Toga’s words she didn’t even notice the girl crouching and moulding a snowball in her hands. “If you don’t wanna do it for yourself, do it for me, at least!” she chuckled once again, her expression now devoid of any trace of dreariness. “I love a good romance!”

And then, without another word, she flew towards her friends, shooting her snowball straight towards Jin’s face and smacking it right in the centre. Jin started chasing her right away, her laugh silver in the air as she jumped on Spinner’s shoulders and instructed him to run away from the man as her valiant chariot. The gecko loudly protested but humoured her anyway, and even Tomura was slightly smiling in the shadows, observing the scene next to an amused Atsuhiro. The sight of the magician made her gaze slip towards Dabi and Hawks again, but they weren't at the sanctuary anymore, probably distanced themselves from the group to have some privacy.

Himiko was right. Of course she was, so why couldn’t she bring herself to confess to the man she loved? Was she really such a coward? Frustrated, she trailed her eyes to Atsuhiro, and this time she found that Sako was already looking at her too, a smile on his mouth that grew wider when their irises met.

“Come over, c’mon” he mimed with his thin lips, gesturing for her to cross the snow field of the temple courtyard, and she graced him with the same mirthful expression. Maybe today wasn’t the day she confessed to Atsuhiro yet, but she wouldn’t be such a fool to waste a chance to stay beside him.

At some point, from the village at the base of the hill, a cascade of fireworks skyrocketed upwards, exploding in a myriad of colours across the dark, cloudy sky, and the League stopped their games to look at them. Toga and Jin darted to the front of the balcony, pointing at the lights with enthusiasm, Tomura and Spinner stayed in a corner, quiet but visibly relaxed while Dabi and Hawks joined them from behind, their fingers intertwined, one of the hero’s wings barely draped over the arsonist’s shoulders to keep him close.

“Happy New Year, Akemi” whispered a familiar voice near her, and she almost leaped from her skin, her cheeks as red as the fireworks. Atsuhiro was still looking at her, a delighted smile on his face, his eyes as gentle as his words.

Then and there, Akemi swore to herself she wouldn’t hide her feelings from him any longer. Maybe not tonight, but soon enough, before her heart collapsed from them.

“Happy New Year, Atsuhiro” she replied lightly, shy and joyful.

Yes, soon.

Discover the Wonders of Yuzu: A Household Speciality!

In the tapestry of Japanese culture, certain elements stand out like vivid brushstrokes on a canvas, weaving tales of tradition, symbolism, and sensory delights. Among these treasures is Yuzu, a citrus fruit cherished not only for its tangy flavour but also for its deep-rooted cultural significance. Join me on a journey to unravel the layers of meaning behind this humble yet remarkable fruit, as we explore its role in rituals, Japanese cuisine, and the collective soul of Japan.

You might know of the famous Yuzu-yu tradition that takes place in Japan. Where people enjoy a good Yuzu bath it is one of the famous practise that is followed and loved by the Japanese people but I am going to talk about the small traditions that occur in a normal household of any Japanese family involving Yuzu. These traditions are the reason why most of the Japanese respect and adore this little fruit that has so much to offer.

Yuzu is considered a symbol of Prosperity and Good Fortune although not in the same way as other symbols like the Japanese lucky cat (Maneki-Neko) or the pine tree (Matsu) but during New Year's celebrations Yuzu is often used as a decoration symbolizing freshness, vitality, and purification for the coming year. This shows the trust for Yuzu among the Japanese People. Yuzu branches are displayed in homes as well as public spaces. They are often arranged in vases or decorative containers, the green leaves and bright Yuzu fruit look elegant and enhance the festive ambience.

In many regions of Japan whenever a Yuzu dish is cooked in a household it is always shared with the neighbours symbolizing the affection, togetherness and common love for Yuzu among people. It is almost considered a small occasion if you get a Yuzu dish from your neighbours. After all who doesn't like a good Yuzu Marinade or Yuzu Sweet dish. Particularly during the Winter season, hot soups and stews with Yuzu Flavour are cherished. Made from yuzu zest and chilli peppers, Yuzu kosho is a spicy condiment, prepared in a Japanese household which is also commonly enjoyed during winter to add warmth and flavour to meals.

People in Japan also preserve Yuzu by making yuzu vinegar, yuzu marmalade, or drying yuzu peels for later use. Another inseparable part of the Japanese household is Yuzu-cha or Yuzu Tea. In Japan, Yuzu cha is made primarily from yuzu fruit, honey or sugar, and hot water. Optionally, additional ingredients like ginger or cinnamon may be added for extra flavour and warmth. It is a very refreshing drink consumed very often but this hot Yuzu cha is enjoyed by Japanese people, especially during cold winters. They take Yuzu-cha in small teacups or larger mugs, depending on personal preference and enjoy its flavour and warmth with comfort. Some people also like to have it chilled during warmer weather.

Yuzu is hence called a versatile ingredient and has a big role in the Culinary and Festive culture of Japan. It connects people to seasonal traditions and rituals. Yuzu has been getting immense love from households in Japan over the past so many years. Its flavour and exotic taste are deeply rooted in Japanese people's minds and its spectacle brings a feeling of homeness in their hearts. Overall, it is a cherished ingredient and cultural symbol deeply ingrained in Japanese culture.

Jesus man, relax.

#this was in response to me saying “lunar new year” on the rarity art #personal #delete later #what in insane nonproblem to get this angry about #i asked my parents (taiwanese immigrants) about this and they said we use either but prefer lunar new year #because it's inclusive to koreans and vietnamese people who celebrate on the same day #lunar new year is an umbrella term same as “happy holidays.” this person is basically getting mad i said happy holidays instead of #merry christmas.#my family and i identify more as taiwanese than chinese so. we're not gonna say chinese new year much anyways #i sent this to my mom btw and she replied with basically “die mad i guess.” love you ma #this literally doesn't matter anyways i could have said “chinese new year” to caption that post and it wouldn't have mattered #the only reason i didn't is because i plan on drawing another art including carol (coco pommel) who's korean and celebrates the same day #like. most people in china/taiwan don't care they just say “happy new year” cuz it's the fuckin new year. someone saying lunar new year is #not erasure it's not flattening asian identities into a monolith. it's just an umbrella term.#anyways happy lunar new year happy chinese new year happy tet happy spring festival happy seollal #like i cannot stress enough to you guys that these holidays are on the exact same day and celebrate basically the same exact thing.#this is not an issue.
