FINALLY! Huzzah!

Hachi is finally going to be born in the AU soon! Finally made a little story surrounding her birth, so we’ll hopefully get to see the little goober soon!

Few fun character notes:

• Just like Sheldon is hyper fixated on weapons, Hachi ends up loving dinosaurs to the same obsessive degree (like father, like daughter!)

• She eventually finds love with a shark boy named Mako (another idea I used from my older AU)

(No worries- He’s fine! ^_^💦)

• Since Pearl was adopted into the family before Hachi was born, Hachi’s got two big sisters to look after her 🥺❤️

(Hoping to post something about Hachi soon)

When contemporary novelists try to perfect the doomed romance trope, but Robi Thakur already wrote:

'তবু সে তো স্বপ্ন নয়,

সব-চেয়ে সত্য মোর, সেই মৃত্যুঞ্জয়,

সে আমার প্রেম।'

I Forget The Rules of This Game.

'one sided shesher kobita'

i gave you my copy of shesher kobita with little pencil annotates in it. i gave you a piece of literature dear to me and i expected you to give me your heart in return; an unfair trade. although i had put a piece of my heart in the pages of the book —my thoughts—, your eyes saw none of it, your heart read none of it.

plath writes in one of her earlier journal entries — "there is so much hurt in this game of searching for a companion, of testing, trying. And you realize suddenly that you forgot it was a game, and you turn away in tears."

and one day you returned the book, you never showed up again. yes, i forgot the rules of this game. and i forgot that you were good at.

April 2025 - Onion soup

I'm back after 6 years because I've located a recipe so outrageously good that it warrants sharing with all three of my readers! I've adapted it from this here recipe, so give that a read if you want exact measurements and technicalities - this text is more so that I have something to write about whilst procrastinating. So let's get into it!

You will need a simple enough mix of stuff - onions (the more the merrier, the amount is remarkably versatile), a buncha butter on which to cook, bay leaves and thyme (I get mine in packages from the family; at this point I have enough bay leaf to last us through the upcoming nuclear apocalypse, since my parents must have stripped that poor laurel tree bare), Worce-shesher-something sauce, a bit o' flour to thicken the thing, a bit o' white wine to deglaze your pot, optionally a bit of garlic, and beef stock (you can use veggie stock, still good). Don't forget toasted bread and some melty cheese for serving purposes - and be sure to only cook this when you have plenty of spare time, since you will need to be glued to the stove for an inordinate amount of stirring!

So, let's get started. Bust out your mandoline slicer and chop up all of these onions. You can probably use shallots instead, since they are sweeter and it would make sense that they take to caramelization better, but I've never tried it so I can't vouch for them. If you try it, let me know how it goes, since I am genuinely curious.

Now that you have all of your onions on one huge pile and your eyes are thoroughly red, it's time to melt your butter in your big-ass pot. Add all of them onions, throw in a bit of salt to draw out the water better, and cook that on medium-high, stirring every few minutes. Be very careful not to burn them, since that will ruin the entire thing and add an unappetizing bitterness to the soup. If you see something go dark brown and burnt-looking on the bottom of the pot, just switch to a new pot and continue.

As you're stirring, you will notice something magical that made me fall in love with this recipe. Your big pile of onions, as it cooks and shrinks, will slowly lose its pungency, and the sharp onion flavor will be replaced with a silky, buttery sweetness. Give the spoon an occasional lick as you're cooking - you will see that the spiciness is quickly gone and your onions are completely transformed to a lovely brown color. All of the volatile compounds that burn your eyes will evaporate away, and the sugars in the onion will break down and caramelize. That's onion caramelization for ya!

Once it reaches the point where you are genuinely afraid of burning it despite lowering the stove's temperature, and your stirring spoon tastes like butterscotch candy (Werther's Original for me), you will know it's soup time. Add a bit of garlic to fry for a few seconds, deglaze the thing with a splash of white wine, then add in a couple spoonfuls of flour. Fry that for a bit and gradually add in your stock so it incorporates well - don't add everything at once, it'll clump up. Then add in your bay leaf, your thyme sprigs, Worches-whatever sauce, and simmer that for a while. Salt and pepper, obviously.

Normally, this is where you would transfer the soup into fancy porcelain dishes, put some even fancier cheese on top, and broil it in the oven until everything is adequately decadent. And don't let me stop you, but personally, I never bought into that French stuff. I like to just make some cheese on toast and eat my soup out of a God damn plate instead of a le ramequin.

And there you have it - as well as the reason why I didn't put "French onion soup" as the title. Fully authentic it ain't, but damn if it isn't good. Don't worry, I get to be racist towards the French, since I live in Flanders.

Enjoy!

SHES HERE SHES HERE SHESHERE MYLAMPERT KWEYCHAIN ISHERE

[jun-hug]

OH FUCKKGGJV HG GUYS SHESHERE

FUCK ME bro I'm actually so mad at myself

so I'm in train waiting for departure and as the seat beside me was free naturally MOST DEVASTATINGLY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN JUST ask me if I mind. no I certainly didn't. And usually I wouldn't look twice at the person I'm madly fallen at the first look at in love with because I'm respectful (asocial). But As fate would have it, a week ago I decorated my phone case with handmade stickers including a rainbow version of junimo. As fate would have it SHE KNEW ABOUT STARDEW VALLEY AND tapped my shoulder just to say that to me and I almost died right then right there she's talking to me. I can't look her in her eyes longer than one fifth of a second but I know they're beautiful and now hold interest AS I SAy "ahahaaahaha yeah gonna play todaaay, made them stickers myself actually" very awkwardly. She looks like she's amazed???? as if. well I'm deep in my panic I had to make sure nothing I say is slurred (I failed) I laugh (awkwardly). THEN she says "my, you gotta open a business" - and now I will, angelic stranger, just because you said so. Then she says she loves playing too, especially Sebastian, and I agree cus Sebastian is in fact very nic nice BUT THEN MY NO BRAIN NO FILTER MOUTH says "now I'm playing Haley as love intresdsd" and she looks at me SHE LOOKS AT ME. I know I'm red as hell by that point and I can't take it anymore because if I stay any longer I'm going to become a puddle of blush and won't be able to utter no intelligible sound. I say I have to go it's my station (it's not, mines the next one) but with the last droplets of my courage I wish her a nice day and she said same to you and I went.

I got back home on foot and I'm still shaking and blushing.

I never got her name. And I'm probably not gonna meet her again ever and I'm about to think about this for the next two weeks.

Thank you for listening to my tragic social skills story.

হে ঐশ্বর্যবান তোমারে যা দিয়েছিনু সে তোমারই দান

In the summer of 2018 I was briefly seeing this boy for a month, it was purely ephemeral and definitely not meant to last. The day before he left for postgrad in the United Kingdom he handed me a copy of Rabindranath Tagore's Shesher Kobita and wrote this on the first page. I found it the other day while cleaning out my parents' basement and chuckled.
