Me: Joshie - Poo. Please make me something strong. . Joshie - Poo: Do you want to try Gunpowder Gin? I know you hate it says 'Oriental' on the bottle. I do, too. . Me: I find it funny that @fort_st_george even bought it in the first place, since it's a Japanese bar. . Joshie - Poo: That's probably why, so they can 'Oriental' it up all over the place and mock who ever had the nerve to put it on the bottle...just like I'm about to do right now. . Ube bitters, @calpico.usa and other magic gave birth to the St George Ice Tea aka 'The Spotlight'.. it was so delicious, so purple...and so 'Oriental' that Joshie-Poo used the light from his celly for drama. . #gin #calpico #ube #Seattle #fortstgeorge #internationaldistrict #barculture #cocktails #purple #japan (at Fort St George) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClzbSKHPjmk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I would love to ask about literally all of these BUT I’ll start with:

14, 21, 22, and 48! 💕

14: Something I like about my body

My hair is one of my favorite features. It’s a nice color (naturally) and very fluffy. It also grows pretty quickly.

21: My favorite food

It always changes depending on whatever is my ‘safe food’ of the month. This month it’s yogurt with vanilla almond granola and coconut shreds. Consistently I’ll love mac and cheese, cinnamon rolls, Nutella, sweet peppers, and most anything with coconut.

22: My favorite drink

Like food, it changes depending on what my safe drinks are for the month. This month it’s Calpico! But my consistent favorites would be the strawberry flavored Cirkul, the tropical green tea from Dutch Bros with an extra pump of coconut, and anything fruity really.

Bonus: my favorite alcoholic drink is the Moscow Mule, or any variations of it that involve it being a little more fruity (so far I’ve had raspberry and huckleberry).

48: Something I want to do before I die

Haha, this one is a loaded question. I’m not sure I ever developed a proper ‘bucket list’. I definitely want to visit a few places in Europe though. I’d love to see Scotland/Wales/England, any Nordic country, France, Spain, Italy, etc. I think I’d also add South Korea and Japan to that list. It’s in no particular order and I’d be fine if I only visited a few countries.

Questions via this post. Anyone, feel free to ask me more!

A3! Translation - Regional Tour Instablam Posts (Autumn Troupe)

Autumn was a little easier to do than Winter was... you’ll probably see why pretty quickly lol

Also, the like count on the posts seem to be completely random.  This isn’t important to the meanings of the posts, but I think it’s really funny that I’ve gotten Kazu posts with 0 likes lol

Also you can see here that I tried to vary the way they type out their tags in terms of capitalization and stuff!  That’s a purely stylistic choice on my part; there’s not much in the Japanese that implies for it to go either way

Notes:

1. This was 駅弁悩む (ekiben nayamu), which is literally “worry about the station bento,” but that sounded to me like he wasn’t sure if it would be good or not

2. Dotonbori is a popular tourist destination in Osaka!  Food is huge in Dotonbori, and Osaka in general, which you’ll see in a lot of the posts about it. The Running Man sign is an ad for Glico, the company responsible for Calpico/Calpis and Pocky!  The ad has been up since 1935.

3. Taichi says 好きやねん (sukiyanen) here, which is Kansai dialect for “love it”.  I normally don’t do anything funky with Kansai-ben, but if I didn’t it’d look like he was saying “I love Osaka. JK NO I DON’T” lmao so we had to do SOMETHING.  Shoutout to Moonlight for the simple suggestion!

4. Here Taichi uses the phrase 食い倒れ (kuidaore), which basically means “eat til you drop.  I had to change the TL a to “eat oneself to death” to make it sound ok, but it basically means the same thing, right? Omi’s “food binge” is also originally 食い倒れ

5. The standard tsukkomi retort in manzai as well

6. This was 新��最高 (Niigata saikou), with 最高 basically meaning “greatest.”  I let myself have a little fun as a treat lol

7. Another name for Fukuoka

I know that I never hit you hard enough for you to forget how to count now.. I know that for a fact. So you can't actually blame that on me.

So how is the show? What do you think of the show now? Tell me! I'm wanting to know. I have questions. So tell me what you think about it.

~

Exactly! That seemed out of character for the Mighty Warriors. And.. I know. That could've just been aesthetic for the music video. But if it's supposed to be an epilogue where Warriors do become Kuryu, then it confuses me that you would give them any weapons though. Like the old Kuryu, like Ryu, uses weapons. But none of the Warriors ever did.

And don't get me wrong. An attractive man in a suit is attractive... But they've never worn suits before with the exception of Ryu. Ryu's style was always more 'professional' compared to the style any Warriors do wear, and he always only ever wore black clothes. Nothing that was in a flashy vibrant style like everyone else in Warriors, mainly streetwear clothes rather than suits. With colors. The complete opposite to Ryu.

If Ryu's the new leader of Kuryu, I don't see him backing down from a fight with anyone.. Especially not from any 'street trash' like the Rude Boys. He'd rather die than not kill them if given the chance to. And so many characters like Nikaido are completely bitches who can't fight.

~

Strawberry Girls are stupid! If the girls do not know basic information about men, their personalities, their styles, or anything. Then this just so happens to be why they're single. Because they're so stupid to me.

The only way that Rocky could prevent Kizzy from cutting off his limb would be because women wouldn't want to be around a man, without his limbs. That's the only reason why they never cut off his hands too.

And they make sure there is always duplicate keys around just in case the situation calls for it. Because that would be bad if you lost the key at all. So the senior Rascals always have a key for this whole situation.

I don't know how insane Kato might be. And we know that Sakyo and Ukyo might be insane in a violent way, to some extent, but never on a same level as Hyuga is. And if they know how insane Hyuga is.. Now I am actually imagining how the Daruma newbies find out that Hyuga's family was one of the original families in Kuryu. How'd they act then.

~

So I might've figured out the fucking recipes for the cocktails that are in Club Heaven! And we were both right too.. Seriously. That's not any joke either. The menu I sent you from the High&Low festivals, back in the time when people celebrated the franchise for coming out then.

It lists the flavor for the White Rascals as a calpico. So I've researched calpico... A milky type of drink that comes in five flavors - the original, lychee, white peach, strawberry and mango flavors. And even certain flavors like original, lychee and peach are white colored. Strawberry is pink colored. And mango is orange colored. So now, I'm imaging their signature drink would be with the calpico as the very main ingredient.

They would use every flavor. But original, lychee and white peach end up being the main flavors.. Because white colors for White Rascals.

And! Despite calpico not being an alcoholic drink, that is frequently in alcoholic drinks in Asian (especially Japan). But, of course, one of the liqueurs that mix it with is vodka. And if you do look up some of those drinks.. Those drinks look like the Rascals drinks in different glasses.

~

So apparently some of my bands updated their appearances for their new albums. Apparently I can't look at pretty Asian men respectfully... My staring is somewhere in between respectfully and disrespectfully.

~

You said fifth time? Definitely more than five characters for me.

The only exception to a mafioso who wasn't abused might have really been Vincenzo. Like.. I'm not saying his past wasn't said. But he never was abused by his father. That's all I will say about his character.

Like the Shelby family (from Peaky Blinders) came from very abusive families. Rocky counts.. If though Rocky isn't technically a mafioso in the traditional sense. He's a gang leader who had an abusive father so that led to his mother and sister committing suicide. And others too.

Obviously. I know. Criminals become criminals because of the past in their lives.. But still though. Have criminals come from normal pasts - in the same way criminals also come from abusive pasts too. Do both equally. Because having an unsuspecting antagonist is so interesting. But, then again, you just might not emphasize with any of them then.

it’s so long! it’s like watching a movie every episode. i’m still neither here or there on it, but i do like vincenzo himself as a character. also i thought the flick scene was cute, stealing that idea for my daydreaming.

~

it kinda sucks to slip the warriors into kuryu aesthetics because it was interesting to have ryu among the warriors because he was so un-warrior-ish. he’s like, a rich kid! he wears fancy clothes! ans uses weapons! he’s the literal black sheep in the warriors. so he stands out when with the warriors. but then they crammed the warriors all into the kuryu fashion and it’s. wrong.

put the warriors back in their colours! and their cool streetwear! ryu can be the one in his fancy high fashion clothes. it’s about the duality!

i think it’d embarrass ryu to be beaten by the rude boys. so it should absolutely happen. one of the rude boys deserves to knock him on his ass.

~

i’m imagining rocky just trying to convince one of the golden bomber/smg guys to give him the spare key and kizzy being there like ‘don’t you dare give him the key’ because she’s trying to get something from him while he’s trapped. on one hand, rocky’s his boss. on the other, kizzy will make his life hell for defying her. lose lose situation.

~

oh! calpico! i’ve had calpico before. i could see that being made into an alcoholic drink. looks there are a lot of ones online, ones with like gin, vodka or sake. idk what alcohols are popular in japan.

i think i’d prefer the strawberry flavour tbh, even tho it’s not white. i’m not a big fan of lychee, i don’t mind peach tho.

~

it’s definitely a favourite backstory for writing characters you need to feel some kind of empathy for. like time to make you feel bad for this character! flip a coin, is it going to be abuse or dead family?

gotta find some new material for sad backstories.

Taste Test #4 Let's Try 3 Japanese Drinks  Our fourth taste-test of sodas we found at Galco's Old World Grocery, "Soda Pop Stop" (5702 York Blvd, Los Angeles, CA). This time, three drinks from Japan: Calpico - Original; Ramune - Original; and Strawberry Milk. 

[rou-luxe]

I'M BACK FROM THE FAIR 🔥🔥

the theme was japan, so I brought my pochita and paraded him everywhere 😭😭 there were a couple cosplayers here and there, I saw a really good gepard and silver wolf from a distance

there was a lot of hoyo merch... I got argenti for me and luocha for my sister

there were so many food vendors omg 😭😭 I got some yakisoba and shared with a friend. I brought extra water because there's a lot of walking, but they gave us free drinks anyway (like the calpico)

the drink in the cinnamoroll bottle is white peach flavor, and those two together were $14 USD. I'd say it's a pretty good price for a sturdy 500 mL bottle I get to keep

there was also a vendor with a twst section?! I only bought one thing from there (will save until christmas)

some vendors had free wheels!! I got some merch for free

last but not least!! I made a little alfons

it looks so bad 😭😭 I freehanded it

the friend melted it with an iron for me (to keep it together)

grateful for lil alfons hehgehgsh next time I visit them, I'll make a little elbert to match

I spent maybe $50 in total (including other things I didn't mention)

very nice day

got my palm read uhhh

positive energy

kind but stubborn

bright lavender aura

good financial future, multiple jobs

three guardian angels, four spirit something

this year is decent but next year will be better

NOT COOKED???
