if jiang cheng, wei wuxian, lan wangji and lan xichen all got turned into rabbits and the juniors had to coparent them, jin ling would obviously take care of jiujiu-bun, lan sizhui would take care of bun-xian, lan jingyi would take care of bun-ji (so wangxian could stay together) and ouyang zizhen would take care of zewu-bun 🐰

I keep talking about catzai, but cat!chuuya...he'd be such a dapper little fellow, but also capable of organized chaos when he feels like it

Like, he has his particular toys that he enjoys playing with, and Dazai will dangle a fake mouse in front of Chuuya to no avail. Chuuya just stares then looks away and goes back to grooming himself or loafing around

He's not necessarily high maintenance, but he loves structure. If he doesn't have his food ready at 6 am sharp, he'll paw at Dazai's door and sit by it meowing until he wakes Dazai up. Or if the door's open, he'll hop onto the bed and rub his face against Dazai trying to wake him up. And if THAT doesn't work, he'll tickle Dazai's nose with his tail and force him awake with a sneeze

He's a bit of a toebitter (but only with Dazai and because Dazai's dramatic reactions to being nipped on the toes or fingers amuse Chuuya)

Chuuya will come looking for pets and chin scritches only when he wants them, but Dazai will catch that rare moment of hanging out on the couch and cat!chuuya hops up and curls up next to him to keep him company

He likes falling asleep to the motions of having his back stroked and can be a purring machine when he wants to be (before he passes out)

Doesn't get late night zoomies very often, but if he knows there's a critter in the house, he'll plant himself right by a wall and refuse to move from the spot waiting for his time to strike. If he's running through the halls, then he's chasing something, and Dazai doesn't know whether to laugh or cry that he has another mouse that got in

Cat!Chuuya would either be the type to make biscuits in the blankets while he's staring down Dazai to assert his feline dominance or will straight up make biscuits against Dazai because it's comforting and he gets to bother Dazai

’Pet Care’ as a part of He Xuan’s debts is so funny to me, like how many times during TGCF do you think Hua Cheng went “SHIT — I forgot to feed the fish.” Like sure he can send Yin Yu to go do it but just imagine that HE always feeds them, only him, no one else (he loves the fish, he’ll never admit it).

He would argue one dying would be ‘collateral’ for He Xuan’s growing debts (but how could he do that to HIS [not Blackwaters, HIS] fish?) Blackwater finally returning and seeing the fish all get super excited only to realise its Blackwater and getting upset. They have favourites and their favourite is Hua Cheng.

The way that bad tech just rules our lives has me feeling very stressed and hopeless. Everything we do now involves bad tech-- the new photo app update means you can't see the "people" section without adding it permanently to your one single photo page; this whole debacle with my zappos return; trying to track a package on my phone and the tracking link popped up a qr code to scan with my phone but it was the device I was using; the list goes on and on and on and on. And you are just in this sea of like, shitty tech and no humans and it ruling over everything you do, large and small, from trying to find a space heater to having your health care declined.

And like, obviously I do not approve of murder, a person getting murdered (assassinated??) on the streets of manhattan is and should be scary to me. But also, there is glee in SOMETHING bad happening in the face of a system where you are just completely helpless. We have so little recourse. Murder is bad!!! The idea of a "purge" is terrifying! but there is just nothing we can do to help get to a place where you feel like your opinion has an impact on the way you get to interact with the world. We essentially live in an technology oligarchy and yeah, it does feel good that SOMETHING happened. Even if our collective bloodlust is pretty upsetting in itself. It is also understandable.

Went to the Kopitiam Food Court at Sembawang MRT Station for an early dinner and decided to try this noodle stall I have not eaten from before. Picked the Premium Chicken Cutlet Noodle (特制鸡扒面) with black sauce and a side of Prawn Rolls (虾卷). Both dishes cost the same at S$5.50 each. The savoury and springy noodles were good though the chicken cutlet isn’t that premium at all. The same goes for the average tasting prawn rolls with barely prawn flavour in it.

my roommate hustled me out of the kitchen by starting to cook around me when i was MINUTES from being finished so i couldn’t take good pictures but i made one of my meal kit boxes: brussels sprout flatbreads. i added my own bacon & took the liberties of adding extra spices & balsamic to the honey drizzle, obviously

reminded again that kuro is the best blood bag. he really never runs out. there's no fear of taking too much. and it always tastes fresh, new- because it's always replenishing and renewing itself...

Itacho Sushi (板长寿司) is currently holding a Premium Hokkaido Scallop Festival with up to 30 per cent off their range of innovative scallop items. As a seafood lover, I can’t afford to miss this chance to savour the shellfishes. Heading to the branch at ION Orchard on a weekday morning to beat the peak lunch time crowd.

Flipping through the online menu via the tablet, I quickly zoomed in to the Scallop Sushi promotion page and started sending the items to the cart. Took a slightly longer time to decide which are the dishes I wanted as they all look equally delectable. In the meantime, scooped out a small spoonful of wasabi and poured soy sauce over it.

Didn’t have to wait for long before the first plate of sushi was served. From the left are two each of Roasted Salmon Skin Soya Sauce (S$1++ each) and Roasted Salmon Skin Soya Sauce with Cod Fish Caviar Mayo (S$1.20++ each) sushi. The salmon sushi were melt in the mouth soft and so yummy. If not because the restaurant limits each customer to just two pieces per type, I would have order it over and over again.

The three scallop sushi on the right side of the plate are Roasted Scallop Sushi (S$3.50++), Roasted Scallop with Black Truffle Sushi (S$3.90++) and Roasted Scallop with Cod Fish Caviar Sushi (S$3.70++). All three of the scallop items were so fresh and sweet tasting just like those I had in Hokkaido. The toppings on the two of the sushi enhanced the overall flavours to raise it up a notch.

The next plate I ordered is the 3 Kinds Scallop Sushi Set (S$5.80++). The scallops are un-torched and came with different toppings of tobiko mayo (seasoned flying fish roe), black truffle (paste form) and lobster salad with avocado. Again the raw scallops were just so yummy and the toppings complemented the whole package.

The last dish to be served is this Baked Scallop Spicy Salmon Mayo Egg with Rice (S$8.40++). A beautiful dish topped with six scallops, an egg and baked till golden brown. The creamy and spicy salmon mayonnaise completely covered the white rice underneath. The oozing egg yolk added a wholesome goodness to the rice dish. Even as I walked to the cashier to pay the bill, I am already planning on the next trip to try out the other dishes on the menu.

Source (guys, GUYS, it's her CN VA!!!). Oh my god, I'm feelings things. Literally yesterday, I was complaining in the tags on one of Kafka's posts how characters like Yelan are so incredibly subjected to being reduced to just a specific trait or two if most. And then I wake up to her Chinese VA having gotten people together to make this entire ode for Yelan's birthday, and it's gorgeous. The sheer passion she must have to have for the character as to have gotten this made, makes up for everything. It's passion, guys, passion will get me every single time. God, I'm going to have so much to analyze in this thing alone. AaaaAAAAAa. God, some have already translated a few lines, but I'm waiting on people getting the whole thing. But I just, happy birthday, my beloved Yelan who I'll never let go of.

Also, I'm sure this translation isn't perfect, but I managed to scrape together a little translation of part of the VA's description for the video on her Bilibili and it warms my heart:

"When I came up with the idea of "making a song for Night Orchid", I struggled with several options, and finally decided to make a piece with a national style tone, with Night Orchid's unique style, and hoping to incorporate elements of opera (a little personal preference). The character of Night Orchid especially poked me, and I wanted to express her backstory through the song, so I chose a more narrative theme, dividing the "past" and "present" of Night Orchid with the acquisition of the God's Eye (Vision)."
