I’m gonna write a thing about why I feel like Yu Wu is a weaker novel than 2ha and, personally, less enjoyable, but I’ve lost the energy and just really want my Golden Terrace box to come in already…

he just really believes in her

the way the first time darcy tells elizabeth “i love you” it seems to spill out of him like he simply cannot contain it. and the second time he tells her “i love—i love—i love you” it’s as though his feelings are so strong that he can hardly put them into words

YAYAYAYYY UTOPIA :3 UTOPIA TIME!

rewatching sunny s1 just to feel something (manic hysteria over how blatantly Together charlie and dennis were)

Mark Pellegrino Appreciation V.VIII.MMXXIII

What’s Japan without sushi??? The place I went to had this as their signature sushi... a tuna roll smothered in wasabi OTL I don’t usually eat raw food, and I decided to try it out just because the waitress there highly recommended it. I also didn’t think there’d be that much wasabi when I ordered it, and it was REALLY FREAKING SPICY, especially the end piece you can see on the right lmao.

But despite the spiciness it was actually really good! The wasabi is meant to bring out the sweetness of the fresh tuna and it really did do its job haha. After a few bites, the heat actually died down... Or maybe my nose just completely cleared up from the amount of wasabi I consumed??? Alternating between pieces of the tuna roll and other sushi I ordered (like unagi (eel) and tamago (egg) made for an amazing meal for me though! Although the sushi chef almost passed out when I said I don’t eat the ginger slices LOL.

Don't forget to watch something positive before you go to sleep!

13 - Zhenniao

Zhenniao, often simply zhen, is a name given in many Chinese myths, annals, and poetry to poisonous birds that are said to have existed in what is now southern China. According to Eastern Jin scholar Guo Pu, two different kinds of birds were called zhen: a poisonous, snake-eating bird of prey, and a pheasant-like species—purportedly the one dwelling on Mount Yaobi—which preyed instead on malodorous bugs called fěi. From its very veins to the tips of its feathers, the zhen's body was said to be tainted with a poison of unparalleled potency, referred to as zhèndú. The zhen's feathers were often dipped into liquor to create a poisonous draught that was often used to carry out assassinations. Its meat, however, was said to be overtly toxic and gave off a gamy odor that rendered it inadequate for surreptitious use, and the zhen's excrement could dissolve stone.

Wild zhenniao were supposedly last seen in the Song dynasty when many farming Han Chinese moved to Guangdong and Guangxi. Humans are supposed to have killed them all. In 1992, an article was published in the journal Science reporting that the hooded pitohui of New Guinea has poisonous feathers; since then, a few other species of similarly poisonous birds have been discovered, most of which also gain their poison from their prey. A 2007 article published in China questioned whether or not the zhen could have really existed.
