Hello you mrs. busy mom of a little booger honey nut cheerio lefty eyebag 😅

Good morning. I hope you slept well and got enough rest for another busy day. How are you?

Yeah, I made spaghetti, and it didn't make me upsetti hahahahaha but my headache is still here. I don't know why it's not going away, although it's not as bad.

Kansas is okay. I only really like it for the lego place ahaha oh fun fact, it had jack in the box and that was my first time ever having it. I didn't enjoy it though. They also had steak n shake, a place I thought was only in GA. Since my time was limited there, I didn't get to go.

Do you like roller coasters that have the water in the end? It'd be funny if Emily gets older and tells you that roller coasters are boring hahahahah or watch, she will be able to ride the extreme ones but then you can't anymore 😩

Ah yes! How can I forget the crispy pork or as we call it, lechon. And the BBQ skewers, I miss those too! I think I also forgot to mention the street foods, like fish balls, tempura, banana q (which is plantain with brown sugar). Maybe I will bring an empty suitcase and just bring back frozen packages of all these 🤣

Aw you worry about me? That's sweet of you. I'll definitely keep you posted about what is going on 😌

Ah I see... so just a small family dinner during your birthday? Yeah, we also eat noodles on our birthdays. Since I don't know how to make the noodles my family makes, I always just have spaghetti. 😅

I'm not sure what I would do 🤔

Question, so if you don't like someone you just keep quiet and be nice to them?

Hello corn-punn righty curious eyebag!

Em n i actually slept in until almost 10am. Lol. So it means no nap for her. Hahaha. Last night i finally cleaned more and did all the laundry. I just need to fold more clothes. N of course the toys r messy again from the little booger.lol.

I did 20hours fasting today 😅. N i just finished eating.

Oh n guess what?? I finished pt. 4 of The Monsters Within! Yay! I just need to proof read it again n check if it needs to be added with something else or not.

Ah okay,, did u make it with meatballs too? Im glad u r not upsetti with ur spaghetti. Haha.

Im sorry about ur headache. R u feeling better today?

Ah i see. So when u first moved to the U.S you moved to Kansas? Kansas City has a very good bbq place that i really like. It's called Joe's Bbq i think. I love it so much. I never been there but ordered it online sometimes

Yeah i do like it but not really big fan of it because it always gets me wet n i dont like my shoes get wet. I love my shoes 😅🤣 n it gross me out walking around at the park with wet socks n shoes.

Yess the lechon n the bbq skewers r so yummy. There is this supermarket in CA n it sells mostly philipinos stuff n food.. n u also love their crispy chicken skin. With the red sweet, tangy vinagret chilli sauce they have.

Oh yeah, food street always so tasty n different. But sometimes the hygines is doubted. To be honest, after i moved here n everytime i visit indonesia n eat the streetfood sometimes got me sick. Lol. I think the imune system n the strenght of my stomach changed after living here for a while.lol. thats why i usually eat homemade cooking in first week before i start eating the street food. It helps me avoiding the stomach ache.😅

Wow that banana n brown sugar sounds delicious.

Haha thats actually what i usuallt do when it's time to go back here from indonesia. It's full with jars of spicy chillie, some indonesian instant food and snacks.lol.

Yes i'm a sweet lefty eyebag..😎 lol. Yeah if u want to, pls keep me updated.😊

I tried to do the same noodle tradition on birthdays. N on em's first bday party i tried to have something noddly.. but since all the family members r white so i adjust it with his familt pasta salad recipe n change it from fussili to angel hair pasta 😅

Speaking of family, sometimes i feel like Gloria in modern family when im with his family. Because i'm the only asian /non-white in his family. His whole family n the in laws r either blonde or brunette with blue eyes or grey or green eyes 😅 n of course im the shortest among them 🤣🤣

Well if i dont like someone, i will try to stay quite n try to still being nice to them but mostly i will avoid being around them especiallly if i really really dislike someone because i know sometines i wont be ablr to take it n cant hide my dislike. 😅 but if that person keep poking me then i wont stay quite. What about u?

Next question?

Cheerio!

If you had to teach a class, what would you teach?: History. It’s my favorite subject, and I’d much rather teach something I’m passionate about then be stuck at something I hate or worse, suck at.

Do you ever get room service when staying in hotels?: Uh, it depends. If it’s a luxury hotel, I typically avoid room service unless it’s really the only choice and there are no nearby restaurants, because they overcharge stuff through the fucking roof. Two weeks ago we held an event at this hotel and I was in charge of ordering room service for our talents, and my eyes damn near bulged out when I saw that they priced their salads at P600. Really? For like...leaves? Then the pastas were at the P800-P900 range. It was ridiculous and it was annoying to see.

But anyway, I do get room service every now and then – overall, it’s easier than venturing outside to find places to eat. I just have to agree with the cost range first before I decide to make a call, lol.

Who knows you better than anyone else?: My best friends.

Would you ever want to go to Brazil?: Sure! Like I said on a recent survey, there isn’t a place I would say no to visiting.

When did you last get into an argument?: It wasn’t an argument per se but last week my mom called me out and asked me to delete the FB story I had posted that day, which was of my very angry middle finger directed towards a tarp of our current president that I saw while driving. I didn’t feel like getting confrontational so I just ignored her message lol.

How did your parents meet each other?: They were both kitchen crew at the same workplace.

What profession do you think is the most under-appreciated?: Teachers. < This is good. Also nurses.

Are there any medical conditions that run in your family?: Hypertension is the main one, I think.

Have you ever drawn on someone while they were sleeping?: Nah.

What was going on in your life two months ago?: Nothing much. It was just business at usual – two months isn’t that long a time ago.

Would you ever want to live a nomadic lifestyle?: I can’t do that.

Does time really heal all wounds? Or is that just a trivial saying?: Not always, but with some things. < Yes, definitely not applicable for every scenario. There could be things that happened years ago but still feel freshly painful every time you think about it, as if it took place only yesterday.

In your opinion, what is the most toxic personality trait?: Dependency.

What band has the best guitar solos?: I’m not a big listener of rock and similar genres so I wouldn’t be a credible source for this...

Where is your favorite place to take a nap?: My bed, the living room couch, or my car.

Would you rather lose all your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?: I hate this or that questions like this where you lose either way.

Who is the biggest jerk you've ever met?: A former religion teacher of mine. Funny, no? Teaching about Jesus when he’s the biggest fucking asshole I’ve ever come across. Certainly doesn’t help the agenda.

Have you ever swerved off the road to avoid hitting an animal?: Once, when we were en route to Batangas. There was a clearly distressed dog who suddenly charged towards the highway.

What's a charity you would never donate to?: I haven’t given this much thought.

When did you last check your car's oil level?: Hahahahah I never do. My dad takes care of that.

What's a tradition you hope never dies out?: Halloween costumes.

Have you ever grown your own herbs?: Nope.

Do you have any exes you'd consider dating again?: Nope.

What sort of things/tasks do you do on a weekly basis?: Treating my family is something I try to do at least once a week.

Do you read the nutrition labels on the packaged food you buy?: No.

What were some of your favorite classes you took in high school?: History and biology.

“Neki kar dariya me daal”

(Do good to somebody and forget, never expect anything in return…..automatically u will get it back some day……some way…..that u never expected)

I have heard this proverb but never known that one day I will become an example of this proverb in a very filmy way.

Some 10 years back I used to stay in PG…my office was hardly 500m from my PG. Every day I used to go to my office by walk….in the middle of the way, one of the biggest hospital of that city was there. I was very happy with my job, office…..then one day I have been shifted to a project in which for some operational requirement, twice in a week…. I need to travel to our another office which was nearly 65 km from my PG. Whenever I need to go to my far office I used to tell to my office they used to book cab….they used to provide cab details etc….I used to do my work …..and mostly I come back late night as it was far….and traffic was also too much…..that far office was about 35 km from the main road….the path was in between some village….some time while coming back no road light used to be there…..anways the cab driver is being provide by our office so I wasn’t bothering so much….he will take care like dat was my attitude…..while coming back I used to sleep in the cab….it was far and I used to be tired also. It was that day…December month ….it only my 5th visit to my far office….till dat time I wasn’t so much familiar of the path after the main road….it was nearly 7pm when we started from my far office…..bcz of some operational requirement I stayed late dat day…..anyways we started at 7….it was so dark….no road light was there….but our car light was sufficient……and road side some houses were visible…..very dim light was coming from them….I told the driver open the window…very nice air ……some small shop were also visible….i was feeling sleepy…..I was about to sleep but….suddenly our car stopped….I aksed ….what happen bhaiya…..he replied …don’t know madam, suddenly it got stopped, I will check….I told..ok…..I saw outside it was dark…..after sometime driver told me ….madam you be inside the car…..he closed the windows also…. I will just check if some mechanic shop is there or if somebody can help…..I told ok….I was acting bold outside…..but actually I was so scared from inside….nearly 20 min passed the driver didn’t come back…I called him many times but he didn’t pick the call…..very bad thoughts started coming in my mind…..whether really some problem is there in the car….where the driver gone…..why he is not coming back…..I was so much scared…I was feeling to pee….not able to control….mind wasn’t working ….whom to contact…I tried to call some of my friend….some of my friend picked also….but they couldn’t understand……may be my network was weak ….I messaged to many of my friends about the situation….dat somebody may reply or call back…..I wasn’t able to control…wanted to pee…..I thought I will pee and immediately I will come inside the car…..I saw near far if it is safe to go out…..from the nereby housed light… I felt dat I can come out…..I came out…..after finishing…..When I stood I felt somebody is behind me…..and I didn’t dare to turn back…..I didn’t think for a fraction of second and started running…..my heart sound I was able to listen…..some hot air was coming out my ears….I started running towards the village house….to ask help……I don’t remember how much I ran…..I don’t know whether really somebody was there……or driver would have come back…I don’t know….my mind was going through so many thoughts…and actually I was crying….i was seeing houses but not knocking thinking that whether some women will be inside or only men will be there….I did’t have any idea of this area……slowly I started seeing more houses.…more lights……I got some hope….people were there….I was feeling safe…..suddenly I remember I left my purse….phone ….everything I left in the car….I don’t know where is the car parked…..i don’t remember from which direction I came. Then I saw a shop in which a lady was selling…..some snacks…..all were closing their shops…..I went to the lady…..All people there was turning back and seeing me…..obviously I was a stranger for them….I asked that lady…..Aunty do u have phone…..I want to call somebody….I told I don’t have money….I was talking then I realized Aunty could understand only there local language…..I asked her …Hindi or English…..Then see called one nearby boy….I was explaining the things to the boy….may he was in hurry….or don’t want to get involve in some stranger’s problem……he locked his shop and left…..I saw Aunty also started packing…..I told Aunty what is the time….She saw in her phone it was 8.50pm….I asked Aunty plz give me phone…..maybe she understood….she gave me phone….but I only remember my own number & my father number, who was in my native…..I called my number if driver would have come, maybe he will pick the call….he didn’t pick then I called my father….then I got the info that balance is insufficient to make the call….I was losing hope….what to do….I moved from there….all were closing shops….before that I should ask help…..next shop I asked about the auto stand or bus stand…..that old man has given me direction for auto stand…..I asked him if he can with me….he didn’t respond……only told the direction that this way I may get auto……I was about to leave from there ….suddenly from the next shop….one man was there……he greeted me with a big smile and he was looking very happy & surprised…he acted as he knows me……”Namshate madam…..kaisa hain?” Aap idhar kya kar raha hai madam….kisi ke ghar pe aaya hai kya….ghar jao madam….idhar ab sab band hone ka……ye lo madam….aapka paisa….mai bhoola nai madam….aap phir mila hi nai…..he gave me 2000rs….and he was giving me so many blessings…..I was very happy to take the money bcz at that time I was really a beggar…..but who is he…..he was may be of 45-50 age……after taking money I felt as directly God has come to help me…..why he gave me 2000rs…..whether everything is real…..what is happening……whether this man is genuine….shall I believe him…..I was trying to remember that whom I have given 2000rs…..I couldn’t …..anyways I have money I should leave now….may be this man has misunderstood me for someone else…..I don’t have mind or time to think about this man…..it was going to be 9.30pm….almost all shops closed……I was still scared and feeling very unsafe but at the same time I was brave and conscious also. The man was also closing shop…..I was simply standing and thinking whether I shold ask help from him….shall I explain everything to him…..again he asked “kya hua madam…..aap ghar jao madam…..kiske ghar me aaya aap….idhar ham sabko janta…..ye mera gaon….idhar he janam liya hai….bolo kiske ghar aaya aap”…..I didn’t tell anything that I am lost here….I only asked that …..can you come with me to the auto stand or bus stand……? He turned back to me…..Itna raat ko kidhar jayaga madam…..why this man is asking so many questions….again he started ….subah me jao madam…..chalo mai aapke sath aat kiske ghar jana aapko…..I was only willing to get an auto…..I started in the way to auto stand…..the old man has told…..dat man also started coming behind me…..I started running…..that man also stared running…..madam….ooo madam….ruko itna raat ko kidhar jana aapko bolo madam…..I was not able to run much…..dat man came behind me…. I wasn’t able to run now…..I was getting sacred….this man was scaring me…..I told him dat I will manage by myself….you plz go….but he still coming behind me…..I was getting angry….suddenly I saw a big bamboo stick I took dat and threatened him dat don’t come behind me….don’t think dat I will give you any favor and I am not going to give you money also…..get lost from here…… Dat man was suddenly looking little sad…..aap kya baat kiya madam….hamko kuchh nai chahiye….aap itna raat ko akela jara iske liye mai puchha……aap mere ko help kiya so mai aapko aisa akela nai choor sakta…..by that time I was so much irritated…..I shouted hey don’t do so much drama….and get lost from here…..what help ha?? He told aap iss (told name of the hospital) hospital ke paas rahta hai na madam……I was surprised…..yes….how you know dat….he told the exact location….slowly I calm down….we both started walking toward the auto stand…..I told him I want to go to the same place plz find an auto for me….he told…..ekdum madam……he came with me to the auto stand and talked to the auto person ….in start they were not willing to go so much far in this much night…..but he told to the auto person…. ye mera daughter hai…..ye jidhar bole udhar isko drop kar do….then one auto person got agree to drop me…. Auto started then I asked auto person to stop for some time….I told that man in few days I will return his money…..he told ye aapka hi paisa hai madam…..aapko yaad nahi kya…..I told no may be u have misunderstood me for someone else……he laughed….bahut duniya aur log dekha hai madam….aadmi pahchanane me galti nahi karta mai…. With curiosity I asked….what help I did to you?? He told…..some 1 year back he was in a very need for money ….his son & wife both were hospitalized in that hospital…he was asking help from people…..no body was listening to him….people were not giving even 5 rupees….suddenly I came and kept 2000rs in his hand and left…..I told you so much thank madam….bahut der tak mai aapko dekhta raha….jaise God aaye ho……aap uss din bhi same kapda pahna tha madam. After some time the auto started …..I started recollecting my memories…..but I could not remember any such event……and if I would have given also……may be 2000rs note I would have misunderstood for 100 and given….hahahahah…and as today I have become beggar….may be that day he would have become beggar…..anyways I was feeling little relaxed….all these paths were known to me….I was going in the correct path….The auto wala dropped me to my destination. Next day I came to know dat my cab driver has fallen down in big dig….he lost his phone there….his leg was fractured…..village people have admitted him to the hospital… It was so filmy…..next day I reported the event in my office…..they have given official mail…dat for any work in our far office….we should go early….and we should start before 2pm in any case. In the next visit to my far office….I told the cab driver to find that man shop…..we found….I saw him from inside the car…..but I could not remember anything dat I would have seen him anytime near the hospital.

Last spring in Finland I attended a course “German for those who are going to have an exchange year”. They told us about the stages which one usually goes through during an exchange. As far as I remember, the stages were roughly somewhat like this: firstly one views everything and everyone better than in their home country and everything is super interesting and fun. This basically means that the everyday life hasn’t kicked in yet. The next one is getting annoyed at everything and everybody. Comparing the country to your home country and maybe even feeling like it would have been a better idea to just stay home. After this comes the stage of adaptation where one gets used to customs and stops comparing everything to one’s home country. Last phase is coming back to home country and seeing it in a new way. And of course telling stories of the exchange year to friends and family until they are bored to death.

I remember thinking two things when we were taught about this. Firstly, who the hell would go through a phase of hating the country they go to? It seemed so irrational. The second thing was “Now that I’ve heard about this stuff, I can rise above it and use my brain and self-knowledge to avoid it. Yeah... As you might guess, it did not happen. I admit, during last few weeks I have spend a huge amount of my time wallowing in “WHY DO YOU DO THIS LIKE THIS” “Why can’t you do it in the right way” “What the hell is wrong with Germans!”. Mostly my frustrations have been related to my university. The mornings I am usually in a good mood. I drink my coffee, get ready (I have started to care more about what I wear and how I look like now that I am in Berlin hahaha) and go to school. All in all it takes me around 45 minutes to get from my home to university which includes walking, tram and S-Bahn. The way there and back are usually my favorite bits of the day. I enjoy watching people, traveling through Berlin in S-Bahn and listening to music. On the way back from university the people in public transport are usually going to pubs or parties so it’s nice to see happy and lively faces. I try not to overwhelm myself with school even though I feel like I need to be constantly studying to keep up. The thing is, even though the courses seem a bit challenging, partly because I am not used to academic English and partly because I am studying in a new study field, I find all of them interesting and genuinely think they are useful. I think I will shortly find a balance because now I feel super drained after every day and still feel like I have the “responsibility” to do fun things and go to places whenever I am not studying. It’s like a freshman year all over again.

So, what has happened after the last post? Quite a lot. I was on a Wanderlust trip to Dresden in October. We also visited a famous bridge (Bastei) in Saxony. The views and the scenery were incredible! Dresden was also very cozy and historical city. It was a lot smaller than I expected. We only had a few hours to browse through the city but we could easily reach the most important sights by just walking. On the bus we opened bottles of wines we got from Lidl and played some car games with the people who sat around me. I suggested searching “questions to get to know each other” so on the few hour way back we just simply shared our biggest secrets and fears as if we had been knowing for a long time. The french boy sitting in front of me got interested as I mentioned we are throwing a sitting here, so he wanted to help. We formed a committee of 5 people for a sittning, planned it in a cafe and contacted international office. Their response was rather dry and due to International office organizing a similar event in December, we decided to postpone the sittning and start planning it again in January.

Wanderlust trip was good because everything was already planned and sorted out for us. We just had to be on time to catch the bus. I already booked another wanderlust trip to Magdeburg in December. They have a Christmas market there. I also want to see the city that was my other option to have an exchange year in. By the way, I am super glad I ended up choosing Berlin over Magdeburg.

The next day me, the Austrian girl who sat next to me on the bus and her friend went to see a light show in the city centre. There is this light festival held in Berlin where they project things onto famous buildings and monuments. The one projected on Brandenburg gate left me speechless. They projected things like collapsing of the wall, JFK’s speech and techno culture of today’s Berlin.

One Friday evening my friend, my roommate and her friends decided to go to a burlesque show. The bar was super fancy as was the show. I just couldn’t get my eyes of the woman who performed. She danced to a remix of Britney Spears’ Toxic so naturally I had to ask her after the show if she liked Britney Spears. She said they only picked it because they needed something that people would recognize but at the same time something that isn’t the actual song. :( She was amazing tho.

In October I also went to see Prinz Pi live at Columbiahalle. I’ve never been to this venue before and it was so cozy! Man the concert just got better and better and I just had goosebumps for like half of the show. At the encore Prinz Pi said something in the lines of “You know.. The next place I go to.. You don’t want me to tell the audience that the audience of Berlin was dull? Go crazy then!” and I have never seen an audience getting so hyped during a song (”Gib dem Affen Zucker”). I got inspired of this so I already booked a ticket for Sido’s Christmas show in Columbiahalle. Actually I tried to go to his normal tour’s concert which is actually today, but I thought too long and it got sold out. People were asking 200€ per ticket (the original was around 45€) so I gave up. Then I decided to go to his christmas show but AGAIN thought too long because they are held in 20.-22.12. and I needed to sort out my flights to Finland first. But one day I decided to go to eventim’s page to see if someone was selling their ticket (they were, but overprized again) and I saw that there was one original ticket on sale even though it was sold out before. Someone had cancelled their ticket and some forces of the universe told me to refresh that page at a right moment. So now I have my ticket and just can not wait for it!

In the beginning of November I went to Prague to see my friend. The train ride was only 19 euros and I could easily do my homework and watch Kotikatu there. Priorities were sorted out! I navigated to Revnice where we went to a local brewery and shared things about our lives. The beer was the best beer I have ever had in my life which is sad because I literally can’t get it anywhere else than from there. Damn brewery! The next day we played board games, ate well and went swimming. My friend introduced me to a new thing: putting honey in a coffee. At first I doomed the though: ew, who the hell does that? Honey belongs to tea, not coffee. Then I tasted it and... it was delicious. It is yet to discover if it because of the honey or their super fancy coffee maker. Then we went to the brewery again and played a Czech card game called “bang”. I think I got the gist of it and even won the game once. On our last day we were just sightseeing and went to a concert together. The songs were translated to me and for a moment I felt super ambitious to learn Czech. I don’t want to miss out on funny songs just because I don’t know the language!

Last weekend there was a celebration in Berlin due to it being 30 years from the fall of Berlin wall. It was a bit similar to the light festival. We were out with friends two nights in a row and found a super cute place in Prenzlauer berg: Houdini. They have Indian food and cheap cocktails. We continued the evening to this living room looking place that was connected to a Späti. The Späti-drinking culture is something that is missing from Finland. Here Spätis are these small shops that mostly sell drinks (beer, soda, water, cider and so on) and candy.They are open late which is actually where the name Späti (Spätkauf = late shopping) comes from. There are often benches and tables where people can enjoy their drinks which are cheaper than in normal pubs of course. The Späti man asks if the beer is to be enjoyed in the living room and adds a small fee if it is. And there’s a bottle opener on the counter. Everything is sorted out so in my opinion Späti-drinking is a good way to go out and get drunk with small budget.

Yesterday we had an excursion with my German class. We went to Berlinische Galerie which is a museum of contemporary art. They had an exhibition of Bauhaus, the art/design/architecture Academy in pre-WWII Germany that affected modern design and architecture. We were walking around and filling up a worksheet the teacher gave us. I enjoyed it so much and everything seemed so pleasing to the eye.

Afterwards we went to a open stage event which was basically a talent show. There were 10 acts of which everyone had 10 minutes to convince the audience who voted for a winner. We also had beer and wine counter there naturally. My favorite was this one dude in tight ballet outfit who preformed a circus act which was funny and impressive at he same time. His background music was swan lake but the dude sang along in a terrible way which made it less serious. Then he juggled with 6 balls and every time he messed up, he cried out in a dramatic way. Then at the end of the show he turned his back to the audience and we could see he was digging something from his crotch and then he turned around and swiped of sweat from his face with a pile of tissues he had as a crotch-filler the whole time. The tipsy audience laughed so much that the winner was pretty much clear at that point. The dude who went after him performed a horrible keyboard improvisation and his face screamed “ I am sorry to be here, I just want to flee!” hahahahah. The act that came second was funny as well, they performed “Let it go” but with a German translation, the google translate type of translation. Conclusion is: the audience wants to laugh at talent shows, not see real talent.

On top of all the events I have also been attending the hiphop dance class I think I told about. The teacher is super funny (and hot :D) and the dancing is so intensive and so much fun! I look terrible, though but it’s not the main point here. I might continue this hobby when I get back to Finland.

Now I have to start packing my things because I am going to Szczechin (Poland). I heard it is a city where Berliners go to shop because it is cheaper there. I feel like this trip can be either a massive success or a terrible flop. Time shows...

Oh dear, we have a Joker as our Prime Minister… Farewell, he says to Camberwell. MummyGeek seems to like him – because he jokes a lot (in an attempt to be serious at the same time)… And then I thought, the Joker PM sounds like Mr Stingy when he becomes too excited about a topic. [MY SERIOUS FACE IS ON 😠 ].

Monday 8th April 2019

Late-ish start to the morning. I slept quite well, and didn’t want to get up so early to be honest. Went down to breakfast, and the staff lady was behind the back cleaning… She probably thought I was Japanese… There wasn’t much that I liked, or some of the foods look as if they were there for a tiny while… But the coffee was great, too bad it was in a small cup.

After breakfast, I handed my room key in to get it cleaned and to get my breakfast ticket for the next day, I took a bus, walked a bit and then rushed for the boat to my next tourist destination, Miyajima. The people selling the tickets got me confused when I was buying my tickets because I didn’t know what time I was going to return… so in the end I did buy an open return ticket for ¥3600. This route is great if you don’t want to take the overcrowded JR Ferry.

Website: https://www.aqua-net-h.co.jp/en/heritage/route.html

Arrived in Miyajima after an hour on the boat… You’re allowed to be on the upper deck for a few moments to take pictures, but you need to go back to your seat as soon as they arrive to the shores.

Best thing about being to the tourist sites early is seeing the sites without too many people around… I think even the deer were happy to see humans about to feed them…

First thing when arriving to Miyajima is to walk to the famous floating tori gate. This is one of the tourist sites I have always wanted to go to!!!! I have been dreaming of going there for a long time. 😍😍😍

I walked around the island after being awed by a tori gate in the ocean… The old town was spectacular with all the cherry blossoms in bloom.

I ended up going through the route to the Aquarium as there wasn’t a lot of people about. I felt a little lonesome in the town…

And then I saw THIS lovely staircase… it looks like a familiar scene in an animé or manga… or maybe not… just looked so pretty from where I was standing. I even bowed at the shrine at the bottom of the staircase to pay my respects.

More walking and then back around I go.

Now I started returning back to the ferry… almost spent two or three hours at the island… it’s not fun when there’s no-one with you to look around.

Then I saw this and took a picture of this funny ad. “Deer Love Beer!?”… LOL!!!

I saw a stand earlier selling curry bread with oysters inside. So I bought two, they were quite cheap… I ate them whilst looking out at the sea. Food moment!! 😋😋😋 They were amazing!

And then back to Central Hiroshima I go… Back on the boat… This time it wasn’t crowded. It’s always best to go back before everyone else decides to do the same thing. LOL!

Now back in Hiroshima, I decided to go and take a small walk along the riverside to ease away my bumpy ride back.

I went around the shopping district… I could have bought a lot of things, but I decided to keep my money in my purse… I love Dragon Ball, so I had to take a picture of Goku.

Back to the hotel I go…

I think I went around another back street around the hotel area, I saw a convenience store, so I bought wasabi crisps, sushi and black coffee before dinner… I think I started watching Korean shows on my phone for the rest of the afternoon. 😅

And local dinner… Okonomiyaki Hiroshima style… This place is directly across the street from the hotel. Don’t think they are open on Sundays.

The Hiroshima style is totally different. The food is layered rather than mixed like the Tokyo style. Pretty good stuff.

In the end, the cook gave me the bill price… Think he thought I was Japanese too. My brain was kind of scattered, and I had forgotten all my Japanese numbers at that point. Hahaha…. I think it was around ¥1500 … around there more or less. Think the owner and residents realised I was a tourist. Hahahahah. At least they tried to talk to me in English. Kekekeke.

Address: Smile Okonomiyaki, 2-10 Kanayamacho, Naka Ward, Hiroshima, 730-0022, Japan

Spent the rest of the evening watching Korean stuff… and making sure I went to bed early for the next destination!

End of Day 10.

Visiting #Miyajima is a must. Eating #okonomiyaki is a must! Lost in #Japan, Memoirs of a Geek: Day 10 – Miyajima and Hiroshima Style Okonomiyaki Oh dear, we have a Joker as our Prime Minister... Farewell, he says to Camberwell. MummyGeek seems to like him - because he jokes a lot (in an attempt to be serious at the same time)...

How old were you when you first got your period? 11.

Would you rather read or write poetry? I'd rather read it. I'm not good at creative writing, nor do I enjoy it.

Do you care what others think about you? Generally, no. I only care about what my closest loved ones think of me. The people who truly know me.

Are you usually a bad speller? No.

Legacy from New Boyz has a sexy voice, amirite? ??

Have you ever visited the site AMIRITE.com? No.

Do you save your shoe boxes? No.

Do you use a purse or backpack at school? I used a backpack up til college, then I used my flight bag and sometimes a business-y tote bag for my classes that weren't at the university airport.

Do your parents buy you everything you NEED or are you independent? I haven't been financially dependent on my parents in about 8-9 years.

Do you have to force a smile when you see certain people you dislike? I guess it depends on who the person is? Ex: I'll still force a smile around my sister-in-law's conceited-as-hell brother and sister-in-law, because they're my brother's in-laws and I'd never not be polite and courteous towards them even though I think they're insufferably stuck-up. On the other hand, I've had a few rude, loud, and very un-neighborly neighbors in the past, and I never smiled at them or pretended to like them.

Do you own your own white board complete w/ dry erase markers & and eraser? No.

Does the room you're in have a lamp? Yes, there are two lamps in here.

Have you ever slapped a girl's ass? No.

Right now, do you wish a certain person would just go die in a ditch? Well I'm not the type of person to wish death upon people, but let's be real, the world would be a better place if Trump died in a ditch.

How many t-shirts do you own? Estimate if you don't know for sure. Probably around 8 or 9.

What's your favorite Owl City song... besides Fireflies? I don't like any of their songs.

Do others usually think you're difficult to deal with? No.

What's your crush's/bf/gf's name? My husband's name is Brian.

Do people usually call you pretty/beautiful/cute/gorgeous? My husband does. And my Granny sometimes says I'm beautiful, etc. :´-)

What's the first song that comes to mind when I type T-Swift? I can't think of any of the titles of her songs.

Jeans or Sweats? Jeans if I'm out of the house, sweats if I'm chilling at home.

Do you own a neon orange t-shirt? No.

What is a cool last name in your opinion? Back when I was a USAFA cadet (god I can't believe I ever considered a military career, what the FUCK was I thinking), there was a guy in the Army National Guard unit that met at the same armory my squadron met at, and his last name was Fightmaster. All of us cadets thought that was a cool last name.

What color of the rainbow is your LEAST fave? Remember ROY G BIV Orange, maybe.

Gold or Silver Jewelry? Silver, or white gold.

Right now, at this moment, would you rather have sour or minty candy? I'd rather not have any candy at all right now.

When was the last time you felt down in the dumps? Around a week or two ago.

What's your fave Miley Cyrus song? No favorite.

What year were you definitely NOT born in? 1900. Funny story... when I was around 4 or 5 years old, I had to write my birthdate for some sort of school project and I wrote 1900 instead of 1990, hahahahah.

Do you like Spongebob better than Patrick? I haven't watched many Spongebob episodes, but I never liked either character. They're too goofy and annoying to be likable.

Is there a certain person who constantly stresses you out? No.

Fave Rascal Flatts song? I don't listen to them.

What year did you/will you graduate? I graduated high school in 2008, and college in 2012.

Fave Justin Bieber song? I don't like any of his songs.

Ever been to Colorado? Yes! I love Colorado. Denver is one of my favorite cities.

Do you use a ROBE or a TOWEL when you hop out the shower? A towel. But lately I've been thinking of getting a nice robe to wear after I dry off. Either terrycloth or silk.

Miley Cyrus, Demi Lavato, or Selena Gomez? I have no interest in any of them.

Do you own a GIANT pen/pencil? No, but I did when I was a kid. It was a huge pencil that was at least a foot long. A family friend gave it to me as a silly get-well gift when I was still in the hospital after my surgery.

Fave Eminem song? I can't even name any. I've never liked rap.

Ever been to Australia? Lucky bastard if you answer yes. No.

Justin Bieber or Jonas Bros? Neither.

It’s Japan!!!! Definitely one of the dream places that I’ve always wanted to visit and non of anybody had any bad comments about it after returning from their trip there. So yeah a day before my birthday, I flew to Japan!! 😛

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This was also my first time taking the Japanese airline, All Nippon Airways (ANA) that provides so far the best service I’ve ever had onboard. Surprisingly the price for ANA this time was comparable with our local budget airline Airasia so ANA it is!

Only if I can get this view from the plane!!!

Nah this is the actual photo. Was just playing with a bit of photoshop on the previous photo 😛

So once we touched down, we took the Narita Express that took up to 90 minutes ride from Narita Airport to Shinjuku station. It would be great if you get a return tickets for the Narita Express cause it’s cheaper than buying separately. So it was a very chill experience along the way and by the time we landed it was almost 4pm in Japan time so sunset was just in time (sunset in Winter is earlier).

We checked into Ibis Hotel Shinjuku and it was already dark and we were soo soo hungry!!!

The first night in Japan and I already fell in love! Look at the street and the lights!

Not to mention it was colddddddddd.

The flow of my blog will be according to the timeline that I was in Japan so if you happen to see any place you’d like to visit or interested, please jot it down and feel free to ask me more about it!!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Classic fact about the metro that everyone’s so so quiet and they stood so still in their own position. The fact that it was so safe being there, I didn’t mind being cramped tightly in the crowd.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The next morning we visited the famous Blue Bottle Coffee at Aoyama. Talking about Aoyama, ohh it’s just an indulgence just to walk around the streets with beautiful architectures around all the small alleys.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Checklist list ticked: to have that blue bottle paper cup 😛

The doughnut balls on the left was so so so good you must try!!! and we tried the lemon poppy seed cake too.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Then we continued strolling around the streets and kept being amazed by everything we’ve seen.

Another fact about Japan is that the light and shadow are coordinating perfectly with each other.

#ootd with the architecture of Prada Aoyama is a must as the structure was designed in diamond-honeycomb like and the light refraction makes it shine perfectly.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We then took metro to Ginza and came upon this street.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Japanese pop culture never dies ❤

Second day was basically exploring the city’s interesting corners and feeling the cold.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It was my birthday!!! So this was my birthday dinner (Happy Birthday to me!!!) and it was one of the best! This was at Izuei Honten, which is an unagi specialist that serve really really good unagi with reasonable price.

Waking up super early the next day for the exciting experience at Sensō-ji. It is an ancient Buddhist temple located at Asakusa.

It was already super packed around 9am in the morning.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

You can find a lot of interesting Japanese street food and cute souvenirs along the street towards the main temple.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

And for the girls, you can rent Kimono and walk around the streets to have a closer experience of being a Japanese.

Never skipped the Japanese Strawberry Mochi aka Ichigo Daifuku when you’re in Japan cause their strawberries are super huge and sweet!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The temple itself was so magnificent and you can follow the Japanese traditional prayer and have your blessings there.

Ok continued exploring the streets 😛

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Next destination was the Tokyo Skytree and you can check on the tickets here.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We only went up to the 350th floor and this was already the view!!!!

Hi Skytree, I see you.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

There are stores selling merchandise and souvenirs as well as skytree cafe that has their signature softserve!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Look at this!! I was and am speechless….

Next morning we took a super early 6am train to Hakone then Fuji for 3 days. Make sure you get your Hakone-Fuji 3 days express pass at Odakyu Station for only less than RM400 and it includes the return ticket Odakyu-Hakone-Fuji-Odakyu, ropeway pass. pirate cruise tour and almost all the bus accessible around Hakone and Fuji unlimitedly within 3 days.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Hehe bento is unavoidable in the train!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

After we arrived at Hakone Station, we had to transit to another train to Gora which is where our hotel located.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Look at this cute red vending machine hiding by the railway.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

So yeah this happened when we got out from the wrong side of the train going to our hotel and there’s no route for us to walk over, so we had to wait for the next train lollllll.

Hoorayyyyyy we’ve finally arrived at Laforet Club Hakone Gora.

I got so excited to be trying out Yukata for the first time in my life. It was super comfortable as you know, nothing inside :))))) Hahahahah It was also my first time trying onsen!!! It felt so so so good especially during Winter! This is the private onsen in the room and they do have the public pool too.

This is also the first hotel I’ve ever stayed that I did not have to wear my shoes at any part of the hotel including lobby. We were given the complimentary Japanese traditional socks so that we were to wear around in the hotel.

It’s interesting that everyone is wearing the same yukata at the breakfast lounge.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The next day, instead of taking the train back to Hakone station, we chose to walk a lil and there are so many traditional architecture worth seeing.

From Hakone station, we took the local bus with our freepass to checkout the Hakone Shrine and the famous Torii by lake Ashi.

Taadahhhhh

Then we used the freepass for the pirate cruise that bring us around to witness the magnificent Mt. Fuji!

Look at this!!!!! That little white cap on the peak of Mt. Fuji is so elegant!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

From the cruise, we did not go back to where we boarded but another pit stop so we could take the Hakone Ropeway to Owakudani, where the sulfur craters are located.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Another view of Mt Fuji from the top of Owakudani.

This is the Chinese name for Hakone.

Then we headed to the Torii and it’s freaking huge and the wind almost blew us away.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Getting some #ootds after completing all the mandatory destinations.

Just me and my vending machine. Can I have one at home??????

and we found this cute 7-11 by the cliff.

Back to Hakone station. Oh yeah for convenience we dropped our baggage at Hakone station so we did not have to travel back to hotel as we needed to depart to Kawaguchiko station on the same day.

Finally arriving at Kawaguchiko and means we were closer to Mt Fuji! How cute even the car plate number starts with Fujisan.

Our home for another night, Royal Hotel Kawaguchiko.

Morning light shines through the window beautifully

and I have Mt Fuji behind me, this cannot be anymore perfect.

Yukata moments.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Yes we woke up to this lake right in front of our hotel!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Hi Mt Fuji, you are everywhere! ❤

So we walked around Kawaguchiko for a bit then took the local bus to Lake Kawaguchiko.

Then we came upon this primary school by the lake and the adorable Japanese kids were doing sports, hmm more too just having fun hahaha.

After that, we headed to Chureito Pagoda, that is located at the hill top overlooking Mt. Fuji.

Unfortunately the weather turned so sunny and the sunlight was too bright that day so couldn’t get a really good photo. Yes this is the view! Basically walking up to this Pagoda is one hell of a workout! Trust me don’t take the stairs, take the curve sloppy route instead, it’s a lot easier though it may no seem so.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

All the residence from the top.

That’s the end of our 3 days in Hakone-Fuji and taking the train back to Shinjuku!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

First thing back to Shinjuku, Food!!!!!! This was at Ichiran Ramen, Yummehhhh

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Ramen ended the previous night pretty well especially after the journey of bus ride from Kawaguchiko back to Shinjuku. The next day we dropped by Fuglen Espressobar and they have pretty decent coffee though, up to my personal favorite.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Who doesn’t love doughnut right?:P

Since we only had a doughnut in the morning so here we were at Shake Shack Shibuya!!! I’ve been wanting to have it again after my first time at Dubai 4 years ago and finallyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!! It’s definitely one of the best fast food I’ve ever had.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

After feeding our tummies, we walked to Tokyo Plaza and it’s got a pretty amazing view from the rooftop.

Shibuya crossing!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Hi traffic light! (I mean the colors of the cabs hehe)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The next day we woke up super early again, ok not super early but still early hahah, for a trip to Tsukiji Market! Yasss seafood and tamago!!!!!

That was the huge grilled scallop that I had, it was so fresh and juicy. Ignore my sleepy swollen face in the morning pls.

Then you’ve got all kind of seafood being served in different ways along the market. It’s kinda confusing for a first timer like me to walk around as it spreads out to different directions.

She’s so gorgeous wearing the traditional Kimono.

and the not to be missed Tamago!!!!

We’ve tried this humongous crab stick was yummeh too.

Eheh bumped into go kart with costume on the road. Yes you can rent it with the costume and drive in the city.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Next stop, About Life Coffee, was where I had the best coffee in Tokyo. It’s just a small corner lot with only 2 bench outside the shop and some standing spots besides the coffee machines, tiny but best coffee!!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Another coffee stop at Saturday Surf NYC at Daikanyama and at the same time we got to shop for their products too.

The seats are actually at the balcony overlooking the streets of Daikanyama, pretty dope isn’t it?

Seems like a day full of eating. Next if you’re looking for an affordable and good sashimi restaurant, you should try out Sushino Minori.

Ooopss doughnut again! This was at Doughnuts & Coffee.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Pink is obviously the concept of this cafe so they made everything so Instagrammable. However the doughnut was too sweet and coffee was not good though 😦

The Doughnuts & Coffee was en route to visit the Tokyo Tower and here I was!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Waited for sunset and the tower was lit beautifully.

That was the last night in Japan and we decided to have Izakaya for our dinner. Was looking for quite a few back at Shinjuku but never seemed to have a decent one until we thought of this street. This was where I took the first picture on the first night when we first landed. It’s called Shosuke. Trust me they serve really really good and comforting food from fried udon to yakitori and paired with Japanese draught beer, BEST!!!!

On the last morning before departing to the airport, we dropped by Shibuya for the last cafe visit called Little Nap Coffee Stand.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

and I fell in love with this quote from them saying ‘I’d rather enjoy a cup of coffee than taking photo’, which cannot be totally true as taking photos is my passion but it’s funny though.

So nah, I took a photo of stranger enjoying his coffee, that’s perfect! 😉

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

That wraps up my 10D9N trip to Tokyo, Japan and it’s the best best country that I’ve ever visit so far. I finally understand why so many of my friends make Japan as the annual holiday destination.

ps special thanks to my gears Olympus OMD EM1 Mark 2 and the lenses for all the photos that I’ve captured as my best memories.

Japan, I’ll see you again ❤

Konichiwa, beautiful land of culture! It's Japan!!!! Definitely one of the dream places that I've always wanted to visit and non of anybody had any bad comments about it after returning from their trip there.

GoT Afterthoughts 7x04 The Spoils Of War (Jonsa Edition) SPOILERS

Ugh ...so much drama with the leaking of this episode. It was extremely hard to keep myself unspoiled, but I managed (mostly). I know a lot of you have been waiting for this recap, so let's get down to business .....

Wow. This episode felt so rushed! For the life of me, I will never understand D&D's logic for cutting this season and the next short, for all the content they need to cram into them.

So, with that being said, we start this weeks episode off in High Garden (or is it Highgarden?). The Lannister and Tarly soldiers have cleaned out High Garden's riches and food supply and have a caravan headed back to Kings Landing. Jamie gives Bronn his big bag of gold because "a Lannister always pays his debts" but Bronn still wants his castle. lol After poking fun at Jamie's sour mood despite their victory, Bronn goes with Lord Tarly and Dickon to assist in getting the rest of the harvest. Winter is here, and food is needed.

Side note: I love Bronn. Jamie and Tyrion should totally adopt him when this is all over.

Back in Kings Landing, Cersei is again meeting with the Iron Bank dude, who's happy to continue supporting her ventures, as long as they get their money. She assures him his gold is on the way.

We head to Winterfell (yay!) where LF is busy being fucking creepy, as usual. He gives Bran the dagger that the cutthroat tried to use to assassinate him in the first season. He proceeds to blow smoke up Bran's ass about how he will always protect Cat's children and blah blah blah, sweet Jesus Petyr, we are tired of hearing the same lame shit come out of your mouth! (at least, I am). He tells Bran it's the dagger that essentially started the war of the 5 Kings and that in a way, it made him what he is today.

Some very interesting things I gleaned from this scene:

When Bran asks him if he knows who it belonged to -I believe this was a rhetorical question. I think Bran knows exactly who it belonged to.

LF is shook when he says the word chaos and Bran claps back with "chaos is a ladder." Mmhmm.

That is the weapon LF will die by. Without a doubt. (and it's sweet poetic justice).

"I'm not Lord Stark" -another reminder that Sansa is the heir to Winterfell, as Bran will probably slip further into his 3ER role until that's all he is and Bran no longer exists.

Meera interrupts. She wants to go home and see her family before the Others come. Meera is hurt by how cold and distant Bran is after all she sacrificed for him, and Bran confirms what I said last week -he's NOT Bran anymore. The more he hones his powers, the more the parts of him that are Bran will disappear -which is why he's so void of emotions. It's not trauma (although he's been through and seen some pretty traumatic shit), it's just the part of him that was Bran is literally dying as the 3ER takes over.

And Arya is home!!!!! Omg omg omg!!!

What is it with poor Arya and gate guards keeping her out? Okay, just seeing Arya's face as she glances around Winterfell and looks at the banner -it made me so emotional, my husband laughed at me. He's a dick, what can I say?

The guards let Sansa know about the girl at the gate, and how she's gone now, and once Sansa hears who the girl asked for, she knows it's really Arya and exactly where to find her. She heads to the crypts and there's Arya in front of Ned's statue.

This was a beautiful reunion! I know it wasn't nearly as emotional as Sansa and Jon's -and frankly, I don't think any of them are going to be, and I believe that's intentional, but for the Stark sisters -it suited them, and who they are, and who they've become. There's no hate or animosity here ...they even tease each other a bit, and it's just so lovely and ashgdhjxugyfkcufyskfjcjcaa I AM SO EMOTIONAL!!!!! And we got not just one hug, but two!!! TWO!!!! I said before that D&D had better make this reunion worth while, and for me, they delivered. I love how Arya said that their stories aren't over yet.

A few things that stood out to me in this scene:

Arya telling Sansa that being Lady Stark suited her. I'm not sure this is foreshadowing or just Arya giving her sister some kudos. Either way, it warmed my heart.

Sansa bringing up Jon, and not only how excited he was about her reunion, but how thrilled he'll be to see Arya too -this served two purposes: Sansa again, bringing up Jon at a time she feels vulnerable/safe, and at the same time validating Arya and how important she is to Jon.

Arya mentions her kill list, and Sansa thinks she's joking.

Sansa tells Arya that Bran is home too, and we head out into the Godswood. No matter how unemotional Bran is, it's beautiful to see my Starklings all together in one place again! ❤️ My heart literally grew three times its size!

After a brief hug, Bran tells Arya that he saw her at the crossroads and that he thought she'd go to Kings Landing. Sansa offers that Bran has visions now, and Bran says that Cersei is on her list of names. The look on Sansa's face puzzled me for a minute -because she looks a bit worried, but then she kind of smirks a bit when she asks Arya who else is on her list. Now, I think that the writers want us to think that Sansa suspects she *might* be on that list, but I'm telling you now that's utter bullshit. Lady Stark has taken over her new role in every aspect and that includes mothering her two younger siblings. I believe her look comes more from a parental place of worrying, and I bet the next few episodes will prove me right -ahem, did I not call the whole Bran is no longer Bran thing last week? Thank you.

As Bran pulls out the dagger and gives it to Arya, this only further confirms my feelings. Immediately, Sansa is suspicious. Why? Because she knows LF better than anyone, and she knows he doesn't do anything that won't benefit himself. I suspect she is both worried for her siblings, and thinks LF is trying to sway Bran into taking the Lordship so that he can ask for Sansa's hand in marriage while Jon's away. It's the only thing that makes sense to me in regards to LF visiting Bran earlier in the episode. I also think this is all more fodder for fake ass Starkbowl too -to confuse the viewers.

Some things that stood out in this scene:

Bran gives the dagger to Arya. Arya is going to be the one who kills LF -Bran knows, he's seen it, and that's why he gives the dagger to her.

My heart -when he says it's wasted on a cripple and Sansa looks down sadly.

Okay, our Starklings are headed back within Winterfell, and OMG my heart is exploding! And Brienne's heart, too! Podrick tells her she kept her vow to Catelyn and she should be proud, and you can tell that she's not used to being complimented. As usual, LF is creeping in the shadows like the human embodiment of a bloodsucking tick.

Another side note: Podrick is also a precious dewdrop! Put him in the same category with Davos.

Now we're at Dragonstone ..dun dun dunnn. Sigh, well come on, let's get it over with. We start this scene with Missandei insinuating that GW kissed the kitty and Jon interrupts them from below to bring Dany into a cave. Well, how clever. *eyeroll* I mean, you seriously have to laugh at that.

Jon wants to show Dany the dragon glass before they begin mining it, and it is quite lovely. Jon tells her he wants to show her something else, and the two of them head farther into the cave alone. Cramped quarters, and Dany seems winded from the walk up, because she's literally panting. Wtf??

Maybe the airs really thin?

Jon explains that the hieroglyphics on the walls are from the Children of the forest, and Dany seems awed to be standing in the same place. She passes the torch by some stick figures resembling the Children and the first men, and Jon narrates how they fought together against the common enemy, as her torch falls on the drawings of the WW's.

Ummm ........ no?

I mean, I'm pretty sure the Children made them to kill the first men originally, right? But Jon doesn't know that, and he needs Dany on his side, so go ahead and improvise Jonny baby. 😉

Now, I'm assuming that this scene was meant to be romantic because of the sudden romantic music playing in the background and the open stares between them in the soft torchlight. Kit's doing that soft half puppy/half fuck me stare, as Dany sashays slowly towards him.

"I will fight for you. I will fight for the north. When you bend the knee."

Annnnnnd there goes Jon's erection. If he had one ... hahahahah! He tells her again that he can't, and then Dany drops the BIGGEST hypocrite bomb EVER - "aren't his people more important than his pride?" Really? No seriously, REALLY? Who's prideful here? Someone get that girl a mirror because she has some serious soul searching to do!

But here's the thing -I went into this scene expecting to be beat over the head with romance tropes and vibes (according to what I've seen you all post over the last few days) and I truly didn't see/feel it. It's not that I didn't want to ... I was really actually trying to, but I felt more like they were once again trying to show us a juxtaposition on who these two people really are.

They emerge from the cave and Tyrion and Varys have good and bad news -they've got Casterly Rock ...but not really. Naturally, Dany is pissed. She demands that Jon and Davos remain while she has her tantrum. She implies that Tyrion is working against her, then gazing ominously out to sea at her Dragons says she's going to fly them to the Red Keep. When Tyrion advises her against it, she asks Jon's opinion. He doesn't want to be involved but she insists.

Jon gives her really good advice, actually. He tells her to BE DIFFERENT. He tells her to be what her people think she is, and not just more of the same shit they're used to. He tells her not to use her Dragons.

Now we're back to Winterfell and Brienne is training Podrick again. Where's Brienne's cheerleader, Tormund? I half expected him to pop out from behind a wagon with heart eyes. lol Arya wants to train with Brienne -she obviously admires her, and I ship them -my new brotp. 😍

They quick shoot up to Sansa and LF on the battlements and the grain is brought up again. Food is a big theme in this episode, as it's mentioned in the beginning with Jamie, Dany also mentions feeding her army during her tantrum, and now Sansa, too.

She stops in mid sentence to watch what's unfolding below with Arya and Brienne. She gets a worried look and side eyes LF when Arya mentions Brienne swore to serve both of Cat's daughters (again, more writers bait to instill fake mistrust between the sisters -it's more likely that Sansa mistrusts LF and what's currently motivating him).

This fight scene is AMAZING! Two strong, beautiful women -individually talented in their own ways ...this is the shit I live for!!! Arya looks and moves strikingly like Jon (before he took on Ned's persona) -(wo)man bun and all!

Again, Sansa with her odd looks, and her side-eyeing of LF ...they are laying it on thick.

Also, Gendry better watch out -Podrick's got some serious heart eyes for Arya.

We head back to Dragonstone, and Davos and Jon are strolling the grounds (aren't you supposed to be mining, mofo???). Again, I'm going to break away from everyone on the romance vibes here -I think that Davos is being facetious. When he asks Jon what he thinks of Dany, he never tells us what he feels, and when Jon says "she has a good heart", Davis replies with "yeah, I've noticed you've been staring at her good heart", implying that Jon's been looking at her tits. Where's the romance in that? That's not love -that's physical attraction. Let's not mix the two just yet.

Jon immediately rebuffs Davos with -"There's no time for that" the convo switches gears to the NK and how many men they've got up north. And then Davos jumps back to "good hearts" deliberately and LOUDLY, as they approach Missandei. This seems odd to me ... I've already speculated that Jon may go undercover lover on Dany as he did to Ygritte, and many have disagreed with me -but I kind of feel like that might be what they are setting up here ...

Missandei greets them "Ser Davos, Lord Snow" -and immediately Davos puts the brakes on that shit, "it's King Snow, or is it King Jon?" (I love Davos). We go over the concept of bastard, which leads to how Missandei got to be an advisor to Dany. And here again, I feel is another play on words to show how distrustful of Dany both Jon and Davos are (yet managed to fool everyone into thinking it's ringing romance bells and trying to convince Jon how precious the D is) -Davos reminds her that she's still "serving" Dany (reminiscent of what the Masters in Meereen said to GW) as to which Missandei replies that she does it freely. Jon is skeptical (and really, so am I) and asks if she wanted to leave and sail home to Narth tomorrow ...? Missandei is insistent that Dany would drop her on a boat and wish her good fortune.

Jon (still skeptical): "you believe that?"

Ohhh, he struck a nerve. Missandei very passionately declares "she knows it" and says that all who followed her (Dany) from Essos followed her because they believe in Dany and chose her as queen (ya know, except for those who didn't). Davos says "would you forgive me if I switch sides?" And again, I can't help thinking how deliberate that line is -Davos is smart and he's a good talker (as shown throughout the entire series), and I really feel like he's playing them. I could be wrong, but my gut is really just telling me that something is off here.

Ahhh, and the scene I've been waiting for that conveniently comes after all this fake Dany romance BS -a Greyjoy ship is spotted just off the coast! Props to both my boys here, because they played up the tension and emotional angst nicely. Jon moves forward slowly, and then Theon too.

T: Sansa ....she alright?

The minute her name is on Theon's lips, Jon's chest begins to heave and he lunges forward and grabs Theon by the front of his shirt, vehemently stating that "what you did for her is the only reason I'm not killing you."

WOOT WOOT the murder kitten strikes again! Kit is sooooo good with these emotional facial scenes, my God! Do any of you really doubt this ship????

Jon is fucking in love with Sansa -it is so clearly evident that when he realizes his Starkcest is showing, he abruptly releases Theon, and shoves him away -just in time to zoom in on Davos, and guys -HE KNOWS! DAVOS KNOWS!!!

He (Davos) cleverly shifts the subject to Theon's fleet and Yara. Euron's got her. Theon asks where Dany is and they inform him she's not there.

We jump back over to Jamie and his troops. They are finishing gathering up the harvest (food again) and Lord Tarly suggests flogging any slackers. Jamie is against this -the writers emphasizing yet again that he's a good man/leader -which is emphasized FURTHER when he chats with Dickon about his feelings on his first battle. Dickon admits it was hard killing people he literally grew up with, and Jamie shows empathy -"they didn't deserve to die, but Lady Olenna decided to support the Targaryen girl, so here we are". Jamie may have been a great warrior, but he despises killing innocents, and in essence, that's what a lot of these soldiers are -men forced to fight for the ones who rule them, with really no say in the matter. The scene with Arya and the Lannister soldier boys makes so much more sense now.

A side note: Bronn literally laughed out loud at Dickon's name! lmao

Bronn and Jamie hear hoofbeats, the Dothraki army is coming, and sure enough, Dany's leading them on Drogon. Now, I've seen people's thoughts on this scene floating around Tumblr for days (TAG YOUR SPOILERS lol), but I was NOT prepared for how visually horrifying it truly was.

Another very important side note: the Khaleesi theme song that's usually played for most of Dany's inspiring scenes, has been given a VERY ominous twist. Go back and listen. It's an important detail that many of you might have missed. 😉

The Lannister army scrambles to make a barrier of shields and Dany literally blows them away, ordering Drogon to dracarys the shit out of them. The Dothraki break through, and while they're keeping the soldiers busy, Dany rides Drogon up the wagon line, literally torching all the wagons filled with food! WTF??

They have the giant crossbow with them, and Jamie tells Bronn he has to wield it, because you need two hands. Probably thinking that he doesn't get paid well enough for this bullshit, Bronn races for the weapon, but a Dothraki develops a hard-on for him and gives chase through the burning camp. Bronn loses his horse and his gold, but makes it to the weapon. Finally riding himself of his Dothraki admirer, he searches the smoke filled sky for Drogon, as Tyrion looks down at the carnage from an overlooking cliff. He has what I perceive to be a regretfully sad/shocked face, as equally sad music plays in the background. The Dothraki warrior beside him comments that "his people can't fight".

They zoom in on Jamie watching the soldiers around him burning to death, and then Drogon reappears and is headed straight for him. He yells for his men to take cover, as Bronn releases an arrow and just barely misses the dragon. He reloads, as Dany zeroes in on him, ordering dracarys as Bronn lets the next arrow fly and it hits Drogon under the wing, I think? Drogon is injured, but recovers just in time to stop in front of the weapon and bathe him in fire, as Bronn dives out of harms way.

Drogon lands and smashes the weapon with his tail, and Dany dismounts to pull the spear from him. Jamie sees an opportunity to take Dany out, and like a gallant knight, races towards her, while Tyrion watches from the cliff, pleading for him not to do it. NOT because he cares about Dany -no, his fear is all for his brother here, I'm sure of it.

Unfortunately, Dani and Drogon see him before he gets close enough, and dracarys again -but Bronn leaps out and knocks Jamie off his horse and they both fall into the water and sink below the surface.

The episode ends with Jamie in heavy armor, sinking like a rock to the bottom of the lake.

No guys, Jamie is not dead. Bronn isn't wearing heavy armor and Bronn will save him. I promise. Jamie's story isn't over yet -he's got a very important role to play in the coming battle ....

A few things to point out that should have been glaringly obvious:

Dany didn't take Jon's advice. If any of you have any doubts on dark!dany, you can toss them out the window -this episode was in NO WAY intent upon bathing her in a good light.

Tyrion is going to jump sides really soon -and probably Varys, too.

Dany just burned most -if not ALL of the harvest, and now we understand the emphasis on food this episode, and the parallel of Sansa who, ya know -actually gives a fuck about feeding her people.

I have more thoughts on this episode that I'll share tomorrow, but I know you've all been waiting for this a long time. What can I say? I'm thorough, I'm sorry! Thanks for tuning in, and I'll see you next week with more GoT Afterthoughts.

Nobody asked but I’m bored at work so here it goes:

I’m from Rome, Italy and the Roman part is a way bigger piece of my identity than the Italian one.

1. Favorite place (besides my room) in Rome is probably il giardino degli Aranci (the garden of oranges) from which you can see st Peter. If we’re talking all of Italy, probably Vendicari, a natural reserve on the sea in Sicily.

2. It depends on what I want to do, I love traveling and I’ve visited most of Italy so I usually tend to go abroad to see new things, but if money are tight there are a lot of amazing places in my country. (I mean we literally have it all: historical cities, beautiful sea and gorgeous mountains)

3. Hahahahah the further place from the sea it’s like a three hour drive from it. We’re sinking in it.

4. Oh god. So many. Probably Pasta alla Norma.

5. Bella Ciao for the history (it’s also the first song I learned all the words to), and anything by De Andrè and Caparezza.

6. Faccetta Nera also for the history (it’s a song from the time Italian fascist tried to colonize Etiopia and “married” little slave girls,the faccetta nera in the title is the little black face of those girls, it’s a horrible song about horrors perpatuated by the Italians during that time and the fact the Italian neofascists still sing it to this day disgusts me)

7. From the Roman dialect: daje, abbiocco and sticazzi. (An enthusiastic yes, the sleepiness you have after eating lunch and a vulgar way to say I don’t care).

8. I’ve gotten Greek (but according to myheritage my Sicilian grandmother gave me a 30% of Greek dna so it’s not even that wrong) and Spanish. A blind guy in Montreal once told me that my accent in French sounded like I was Chinese so there’s that.

9. Does neighboring mean that share a border? In that case Slovenia, if not Spain.

10. Cazzo! Or if we’re going into blasphemies (that here are considered way worse that curse words) Porco Dio.

11. Damn I don’t know. Any one between Boccaccio, Pasolini, Ungaretti or Ammaniti and probably another hundred that I’m forgetting.

12. I don’t believe anything can be properly translated, even if the words are all right and have the same nuances in both languages the rhythm changes, the sounds change and it’s a completely new thing, not necessarily bad but too different from the original piece to be considered the same.

13. My family is not really superstitious but Italians as a whole are, one of my favorites is that you can’t pass the salt from hand to hand, you have to put it on the table and let the other person pick it up, it’s so stupid it makes me laugh everytime.

14. Italy has not produced anything of note since neorealism, and that was 70 years ago.

15. Dio disse Kung e Kung fu.

16. I hate the stereotype that we’re all mafiosi, I somewhat agree with the one that says that we’re all mammoni (closer than “normal” with our parents). And the one that says that our food is the best it’s just plain true.

17. Of course I am, knowing the past is the only way we have to understand the present. ( like did you know that the DC won the first election after the war because of the US interference? Otherwise the communist party would have won)

18. Roman is more of an heavy accent than a dialect, but yes, I do.

19. I don’t have an opinion about the flag 🇮🇹 it’s pretty basic and I don’t really like the anthem.

20. Male soccer.

21. Salvini and Di Maio, they won’t be needing a suit.

22. The art, the food and the scenery make me proud, the ignorance and current political climate on the other hand make me quite ashamed of what has become of my country.

23. Wine.

24. Probably Germany, their respect for the rules baffles us.

25. Not really, I wouldn’t be the same person if I had been raised in a different environment and I happen to quite like myself.

26. Italy is usally portraid like a beautifully rustic place where people go to find themselves or Mafialand. Either way I find it quite reductive. And it’s funny how a lot of top Hollywood directors and actors are italoamerican but our country is always rapresentend in the same two ways.

27. I don’t really pay much attention to Italian celebrities the first who came to mind is Totti (retired soccer player for the AS Roma)

28. Yes and each and every one of them is beautiful, most are well known around the world (like Como’s lake or the Dolomiti) but my favorite is a little artificial lake hidden in the Abruzzo’s mountains next to a small town called barrea. On the edges of the lake there is the most lovely campsite and you can go there and bathe in the lake or hike in the mountains or stargaze. It’s beautiful and close enough to Rome that I can just drive there whenever I want.

29. My city has beef with itself. The north and south side hate each other. (The south side is better tho 😏). Also we don’t like Milan very much.

30. Not that I know of.

“hi, I’m not from the US” ask set

given how Americanized this site is, it’s important to celebrate all our countries and nationalities - with all their quirks and vices and ridiculousness, and all that might seem strange to outsiders.

1. favourite place in your country?

2. do you prefer spending your holidays in your country or travel abroad?

3. does your country have access to sea?

RFA + V + Saeran reacting to an MC who just got stung by a wasp or bee? I recently got stung by a wasp and now my hand is all swollen ^^;;

Oh no! I consider myself lucky because I have yet to bee stung (hahahahah get it) and I hope I never will that shit looks painful T.T Did you clean the wound properly? Apparently honey really helps to soothe stings, but don’t use it if you’re allergic! I hope you get better soon ~

YOOᔕᑌᑎG:

Happened to my bro when he was like 8, we were in my Gradmother’s garden and wanted to catch butterflies, so my bro saw a bumblebee and he was like “it’s fuzzy, colorful, and flies…therefore it’s a butterfly” bless his soul

Summer had arrived, and with it came a clear, breezy day, that weather where the sun warms you up but the wind cools you down at just the right moment

It was a perfect time to go butterfly catching

So collected your net, sunscreen, food, and one (1) Yoosung before precipitating yourself towards a nearby park

Tbh he didn’t really want to participate because he’s scared of hurting the butterflies oh my god hold me back this boy is so precious

But he was fine cheering you on from the sidelines, after all your happiness is his happiness

It wasn’t long before you spotted a Monarch butterfly perched atop a nearby flower bush, and in one fell swoop, you catch it in your net

Yoosung is like woah that’s my girl look at her what a pro

But you hadn’t thought that there might be other small critters lying among the flowers

So as you reached over to close the net, you felt a sharp pain in the meaty part of your palm

Yoosung appeared right beside you before you could even start to cry, pulling an emergency med kid out of his backpack as he took your hand in his and begins to treat your wound

“It’s okay, don’t cry,” he said, kissing your brow. Although Yoosung was a bit nervous since the love of his life was in pain, his words were so soft and soothing that as they washed over you, the pain gradually faded and you were left with nothing but the warmth of his hand over yours

For the next few days, Yoosung constantly checked up on you, and told you to limit the use of your hand

He applied ointment to prevent any swelling and discomfort, and basically just took such good care of you the wound vanished in a few days

You lowkey wanted to become an animal just so that you could visit Doctor Yoosung and have him treat you

ᘔEᑎ:

It was quite simple really, you were crouched in front of a flower bed, smelling their sweet fragrance, while Zen sat beside you, thinking about how much you looked like a flower fairy

But then a bee sorta plopped onto your thigh, and in your surprise, you tried to brush it off, but the bee ended up stinging you before it fell onto the ground

Your yelp of pain brought Zen back from his reverie, and he cradled you against his chest, asking you why you were suddenly crying

Babe I think something stung me and it really hurts

He went from 1 to 100 real quick, his eyes blazing in fury as he tried to find The Villainous One Who Injured My Princess™

He’s all like @ bee: (ง'̀-‘́)ง come at me u ‘lil bitch

Zen the bee is already quite dead

He whisked you away towards the nearest first aid station, and held onto you the entire time you were getting the sting cleaned up and covered

Insisted that he carry you home, because he seemed to be under the impression that if you walked, your leg might fall off

Once you got home, he placed you on the couch and ordered you to stay put for the rest of the day

But he knelt before you and…

Being the romantic bastard (I use this word in a nice way here don’t hate me) he is, Zen lifted your leg up to his lips and kissed the bandage

“From now on, I will not lose to anything. No human, nor bug, nor any other formidable foe will ever hurt you again, be they large or small.”

I mean as sweet as that sounds, just imagine Zen hovering around you with an aerosol can in his hand whenever you go outside, constantly spraying bug repellent everywhere so it just sorta hangs around you like a cloud

Are you trying to poison me Zen do you really wanna pull some Romeo and Juliet shit Zen are you really that dramatic Zen

ᒍᗩEᕼEE:

At first, the both of you thought that adding tables outside the cafe for customers to use was a good idea

But neither of you thought of the horrible things leftover sweets attracted

One day, while you were clearing up a table littered with half-eaten cake on a side not who dares not finish their cake why would you even consider such a thing???, you picked up a plate an immediately dropped it after feeling something stabbing your finger

The plate shattered against the ground, and you felt your heart beating in your index finger

Jaehee never heard you cuss so loud

She rushed outside to see what all the commotion was about, and saw you clutching your hand, face red and eyes watering

Now Jaehee is smart, with just a single look, she can tell exactly what’s wrong

Baehee ushered you inside, telling you not to worry about the plate, not to worry about your finger, not to worry about anything because she is there and will take care of you

She apologized to the customers, saying that she had something important to take care of, and wouldn’t be available for a few minutes

In a flash, she had everything laid out and ready to use, carefully pulling out the wasp’s stinger, wrapping a hand towel around your finger before giving you ice

You felt bad for disrupting both of your work, but she again told you to stop fretting

She made you stay behind for half an hour, until the ice was almost completely gone, before allowing you to come back again

Though she insisted that you only use one had , and limit yourself to the smaller tasks

When you both went home that day, Jaehee settled you on her couch and declared that she was going to feed you herself

But Jaehee I have two hands you know

She wouldn’t hear any of it though

“Fine, then how about you use your other hand to feed me in turn?”

It turned into a fluff fest and ended with both of you giggling hard, chocolate pudding smeared across both of your faces, cheeks flushed, that day’s incident long forgotten

Mmh and then Jaehee offered to “clean up” the pudding on your face, and so another sort of fest begun

ᒍᑌᗰIᑎ:

I’m like 700% sure that he’s already safe-proofed his entire penthouse

There are no bugs, no critters to be seen anywhere, even out in the garden, the only insects you see are the harmless ones

I guess with money, anything really is possible

EXCEPT, bees

Jumin was aware how important bees were for the environments as well as his garden, so he allowed the existence of bees to continue in his otherwise no-bug haven

But this led him to the fake belief that bees were completly harmless creatures

I mean for the most part they are but accidents still occur

And an accident was exactly what happened when you wandered too close to a bee hive

Luckily, you managed to escape with only one sting (actually I heard that even if you aren’t allergic at first, if you’re stung multiple times you can develop an allergy and die???) but it still caused enough pain to make you tear up

Jumin Mental Equation: You+Crying+Swollen Arm= MC has a fatal illness

Rushed you to the hospital despite your complains

Jumin I need tweezers and an ice pack, not an X-Ray and an IV

Did feel a bit embarrassed when the doctor told him it’s just a bee sting

He had his arm around you the entire day after that, except when you fell asleep in the afternoon

When you woke up, Jumin was nowhere to be seen

The guards said he was in the garden

As you approached that place, you heard his voice talking to someone

You peaked around the corner and

Ju MIN??!

This dude was wearing a beekeeper outfit, in a cutesy kitten pattern to boot

But what shocked you the most was that he was trying to have a discussion with the bee hive

Or maybe, telling the bees off for hurting you was more accurate

Which did nothing but aggravate said bees, who were now swarming around him in a rather angry manner

Jumin you’re an absolute dork but that’s part of the reason why I adore you so much

ᐯ:

Really though, unless he’s there with you when it happens, the blind man will not notice your injuries, even if you happened to get your head chopped off

That’s really sad actually

When you were out in the garden tending he flowers and got stung by a wasp, it hurt, but you were adamant about not letting V find out

Imagine how he would feel if you got hurt but he wasn’t there beside you?

So you were biting your lip, fighting back tears as you rushed to treat yourself, when V came in

“Sweetheart? What are you doing?” he asked after hearing you rummaging around in the cabinets for tweezers.

“Ah, um, nothing!”

He reached out for you, and instinctively you did the same

V’s fingers brushed against your swelling forearm, and felt you flinch away

He froze

“”Did you…did you injure yourself?”

“It’s…it’s nothing major, just a wasp sting.”

“Oh my God, MC I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry I didn’t realize before, I’m so sorry I didn’t notice your pain.”

The poor boy looked like he was about to cry, and clutched at his fkn gorgeous hair in distress

See this is exactly what I mean the poor man blames himself too much

You assured him that it was all okay, that you knew how to take care of your own wounds, and that if he wanted to make you feel better, he could stay near you

But after that incident, V suddenly decided to get the surgery

“What happens if something like this happens again,” he said, “I want to be able to prevent you from getting hurt again.”

ᔕᗩEYOᑌᑎG:

This happened to my friend in the same situation (except it was in a towel fort me and my friends had made), we all found it so hilarious that even though she was crying from the pain, she still laughed along with us. What a touching story excuse me while I wipe away my tears

You managed to convince him to go to a public pool with you

Now this place had a really big grassy area with lots of shade, so you decide to sit down

But unluckily for you, you only wore your bathing suit and had your towel wrapped around your shoulders

And even more unluckily for you, there was a bumblebee bumbling around in your choice area to sit

Naturally, the little fuzzy fella was squashed to death, but not before his stinger was neatly lodged in your butt cheek

SEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKING OWWWW!!!!!!

The Defender of Justice Magically Appears!! He just kind of blinked at you while you were feeling up your butt tho

“Do you need some help with that, miss?”

Immediately became concerned when he saw you crying though, and pulled you into a tight embrace

“Honey what’s wrong?”

“S-Seven…I think I sat on a bumblebee.��

You felt him tense up

Then you felt him start to quiver

Bastard you better not be doing what I think you’re doing

Sure enough, Seven was trying to suppress his laughter, but when you pouted at him, he just couldn’t hold it in anymore

“Ahahaha! You sat on a bumblebee! I wonder what the view was like from down there…what did it see in it’s last moments? I bet it was a glorious sight to behold.”

You cheeky bastard pun 117% intended

Rest assured though, he gave you the best first aid care, especially given the location of your wound

After all was said done, Seven sighed wistfully and said, “But in all honesty, letting a bumblebee go somewhere so private…are you sure you weren’t having an affair?” also reference 249% intended

“No?”

“Good,” he says, leaning closer to your ear. “You better not bee.”

That night y’all watched The Bee Movie and he frequently whispered “That could be us but you playin’.”

What exactly he was insinuating, you did not know.

ᔕᗩEᖇᗩᑎ:

You went out to his favorite ice cream stall on a sweltering summer day

He went back for seconds while you waited at a nearby bench

Your hair fell over your shoulder as you leaned forward towards your half-eaten cone, so you lifted a hand to brush the locks back and –

OUCH!

You hadn’t noticed, but a sneaky wasp had flown into your hair, and you’d accidentally squished it a bit between your hair and collarbone

Real talk: when you get any sort of injury directly over bone, it fucking hurts

So when Saeran came back to see you crying, he was floored

Did I make her wait too long? Did someone hurt her? Did- wait what the hell is that?

He took one look at the swelling on your collarbone and decided that someone had tried to kill you

Ah Saeran, I’ve met a lot of people before who jump to the most unlikely conclusions possible but you reaaally take the cake

Though your tears weren’t something he wanted to see, so anxiously he patted your head and asked what happened

You explained to him, that you think you were stung by a wasp

Like Zen, Saeran looked around, trying to find someone to fight

Saeran who gives a damn about the wasp this sting hurts like a bitch

Tol bean wasn’t sure what to do though. There wasn’t no one to beat up, he he didn’t know how to take care of a wasp sting, and your crying was just making him want to cry

So Saeran, in a flurry, grabbed your hand and pulled you closer to him

“It’s okay,” he said, “I know someone who can help. Just hang in there, okay?”

Saeran pls stop talking like I’m mortally wounded

With that he took off at break-neck speed in the direction of who knows where, pulling you along in his wake but shit this guy can go

Yeah, you still felt the throbbing pain beneath your neck, but Saeran ran so fast your were practically flying through the air behind him

A few minutes later, you found yourself at Yoosung’s doorstep, Saeran spamming the doorbell until a disheveled looking ray of sunshine boy opened the door

Without much grace due to his sheer panic, Saeran shoved you in front of him and yelled, “Please, help me! I don’t know what to do!”

When things calmed down a bit and the circumstances explained, Yoosung showed Saeran how to clean a sting wound, how to properly remove a leftover stinger as well as remedies to soothe the affected area

Yoosung teaching Saeran new thing, and Saeran absorbing it all with shining eyes was a really effective painkiller

Lol it was almost worth getting stung just to witness this moment

Zenzou; We still don’t know how many enemies we chased away but.. we still don’t have a confirmation, but it seems that there is still a mercanary army around.

“Yagyuu clan”

Binbokusai: We didn’t forget that, this victory is been a miracle, and we paid a big price for it, this is both like to wish fo sometihng, that lose something

Seimei: If we consider it now, we only had useless lost and sacrificies.

Gedomaru: .... And what about you Yorozuya? Do you wantto ride this chance and atack the enemy? Or you want to come back to set things up? We need your opinion

“Yorozuya”

Kagura: SOme curry will be ok, thanks

Shinpachi: They weren’t talking about meals, Kagura chan... we don’t get a lot from this difficukt matters but..

I’m so..sorry, maybe isn’t that you wanted to hear, I am so sorry.

Gintoki: It’s not like that, it’s more like all the humanity gathered for the same goal or something, and how we will fall, it’s only a trivial matter.

Shinpachi: What I am looking at? This is far beyong the drama clichè, what the hell is a Eva? What the hell... what are you doing?

Gintoki: Yorozuya san you already gave your opinion.

Shinpachi : You ar part of the yorozuya too..

Gintoki: Eva, is this the right way to ride you? Do you prefer to be on stand by? What do you think? Do you like it?

Shinpachi: Before one knows, he is been elected as the chosen one for the Eva...

Gintoki: Eva what do you think? Oi Eva...

Hedoro: ....

Gintoki: Ehm... Hedoro san?

Hedoro: Eh? Me? I think i can go, but..

Shinpachi: EH??? He don’t know he is been turned into a EVA???

Toshi: Kondo san... what do we do? I think it’s to early tho...

Kondo: Yeah,,, me to

Sacchan: He said to go, butt I think it is still not the time.. isn’t Tsukki?

Tsukuyo: Yeah, same.

Jirocho: Entrust it to the youth my ass...

Otose: You don’t like the EVA?

Dudes: Eva or not.. or well, how did he said? Nova?

Dudes: He said EVA

Shinpachi: Everyone has no clues!! You kicked in too early!! I thought everyone but me already knew

Toshi: me too

Gintoki.You didn’t know? I thought you did...

Shinpachi: How we can if you don’t give us explanations??

Gintoki: There is nothing to explain, this is just a EVA, Hedoro was extraordinary enought to destroy the liberation army but he perished 7 times, so he is now becoming a Eva.

Shinpachi: Do we need an epser to understand??? We got nothing!! It is just getting even more complicated!!

Gintoki: The point is... inside Hedoro san there is a devil that wants to destroy the world, and Hedoro san wants to stop it and protect the world. But I that already seen the hell, came to rescue the world, and used this power to save the world from ruin. I will just use the power of Hedoro, and use it against the liberation army. Mankind’s greatest enemy will become its messiah. This is the essence of the All purpose demon model decisive battle weapon: EVANDOROGON

Shinpachii: Say what you want, but you just created a monster!!

Gintoki: It’s ok! Above all errors, I disocvered how to roperly use the poewrof this angel and demon. I have just manupulate at my will this 2 flowers. So now i will rty to do some tsukkomi, you just be the boke.

Shinpachi: That was so sudden!! And the tsukkomi is me!!

Hedora: What are you doing?’ I will destroy you mankind!

Shinpachi: Hahahahah!!

Gintoki: So this way.. if you move the right level, the demon of destruction Hedora will appear. Te main tsukkomi to do is that he can't even open the lid frm the jam’s jar.

Shinpachi: What kond of use of his power is that?? Are you doing tsukkomi to the mankind? he still didn’t gave up to destroy us! That’s too dangerous!!

Gintoki: While the left level is...

Hedoro: Shinpachi kun didn’t you get injutried? I am so sorry, hedora is so rude.

Shinpachi: He.. hedoro san

Hedoro: Pay more attention!! there is a poor bug here!!!

Shinpachi: It’s still the same!!

Gintoki: So depending on the situation, you can use both the power of the angel and the one of the devil. and this is the whole plan of how protect mankind.

Hedoro: Thank god he seems to be ok!

Shinpachi: he is still a devil, don’t matter how you look at him, but he seems to got it wrong and took out the perfect plan to protect bugs!

Hedora: What are you doing?’ Mankind I will destroy you!!

Shinpachi: I was tsukkomed by the tsukkomi!!

Gintoki: Tha’ts whyyou got it wrong and said something stupid, you just be a boke. you just don’t said stupid hings, you look like an idiot too, go, let’s tsukkomi!!

Shinpachi: That’s bad!! there is a devil riding a devil!!

Kondo: Wait Yorozuya! That’s too dangerous! That thing is nor a tsukkomi nor a boke. Let mankind be its own tsukkomi. At this rate this tsukkomi will not attack only the liberation army, but you too.

Gintoki: But yet.. yet.. we can’t go on being a tsukkomi. we can't laught to our downfall.. until this stupid heart will be stopped..

Kondo: So I will take the tsukkomi!!

Gintoki: But you are in my way..

Kondo Go!!

Gintoki: Move

Kondo ; Do it!!

Hedoro: You can’t tsukkomi, you are not even human, but just a troglodyte

Kondo; Go.. do it . give me some tsukkomi!!

Hedoro: py some attention!! there is cockroach here!!

All: He fell for the tsukkomi!!

Otae: You not a demon, but maybe you are a god, Ginsan would never go to rest if not for something like that, so go to rest for today, even th gods needs some rest. So don’t worry Hedoro. the one to be sorry should be this idiot that started to play robot with others.

Hedoro: I am so sorry, for me both Sakata san and cockroaches are important friends on this planet.

Gin: Otae chan, so my life have the same value of a cockraoch, this god is not cute at all.

Otae: Well. be strong! You can’t be less than that cockroach, right?

Hedora: What are you doing?’ Mankind I will destroy you!!

Gin: Ho w can i got stronger like that?? Leave those leaves alone!!

Shinpachi: But you really should rest Ginsan.

Gin: You should say that to your sister.

Shinpachi: The was will surely continue from tomorrow, if yu consider it, the only thing you did, since came back to Edo is being fighting. And that goes on since Rakuyou, and Kurosjyoushima.. you just barely fought. I just a sensation,but i feel like we kept running and now i just feel so tired.

Gin: Yes, you always been with me.YOu had be really usefull, and worked for free. You did a great job, This unworthy president, is really a useless adult and you two became so strong.

Otae: They took all the futon, and that was really a rere thing to heard from you.

Gin: There is still a lot to come, both for them and for me.

Okita: Hijikata san, why we are the only one to not rest, we could rest, and tomorrow work on some plan against the liberation army.

Toshi: I hate the idea of sleeping while the world is on the verge of destruction, so let’s enjoy this corrupt world by ourself

Otae: Don’t you know? you can enjoy this dark times even sleeping, usually birth rate rise when there are blackouts.

Gin: Even with Edo in ruins you want to rise birthrate??

Sacchan:buhaa

Toshi: this is what i was looking for

Okita: eh a girlfriend like that?

Toshi: No!! the man that caused this blackout stopping all the machines! Hiraga Genkai, In order to stop any comminication between the enemy’s fleets, he created a virus and spreaded it with this cannon, but now we are in the same situation and cant’t communicate with our allies in space!

“I gave you some nourishment while youare asleep, get well: Gedomarou”

Toshi: Genkai have probaly take some measures to fix it

Dude: The old Genkai? I didn’t saw him in a while. If I remember right, the mercenary army wanted to capture him, but I saw him running away , other than that i don’t know.

An other dude: He? Genkai san? I dunno I run away with the others. Prob he had some business to do and got separetad, he will surely be back.

Some other dude: Eh Genkai? Wasn’t he shouthing something like going under cover with paper.. I don’t know who , but I heard some faint voice near that wall, he said something like god* help me, but i was too afraid to get closer.

*God in japanese is kami, that has the same sounds as paper. so the dude heard kami, believing that Genkai were asking help to god, but he were just asking for some (toilet) paper

Toshi: I am sorry to interrupt you in a moment like this, but I have a request for you.. Genkai?

Yato: So the one that putted down the liberation army is this old fart, So genkai, why are you here? But it doesn’t matter anymore.

Genkai: Well, I just finished, at least make me cover my ass.
