Hello everyone! I’ve been lurking for years but never made account. But now it’s time >:)

Hi, I’m Isai!!

I use she/her pronouns and I’m asexual. ☺️ I also go by Honey or Katsu online.

I’ll likely be using this space to post about anime, fanfic, and fandom. And occasionally my artwork, photography, and crochet. Oh, and I have a little dog named Shang, so I’ll probably end up posting about him too!

Anyways, here’s a list of some of my favorite things:

Color - any and all shades of light purple!!

Foods - pasta and cheese 🥰, chicken tikka masala, Thai yellow curry, fried rice

Anime/cartoons - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Mob Psycho 100, Psycho-Pass, Jobless Reincarnation, The Owl House, Gravity Falls, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Land of the Lustrous, Dungeon Meshi

Movies - Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms, A Silent Voice, Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop, The Anthem of the Heart, Dune

Manga - Witch Hat Atelier, The Girl From the Other Side, Vinland Saga, Beast Complex

Games - Pokémon, Persona 5, NieR: Automata, Sky: Children of Light, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Lethal Company

Other fandoms - Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, The Untamed/Mo Dao Zu Shi, Solo Leveling

Streamers/content creators - CDawgVA and Ironmouse

Characters - Sesshomaru, Milly Thompson, Xiao, Arataki Itto, Cyno, Bennett, Mithrun, Pompompurin, Phos

Ships - Royai, Huntlow, M!Dimilyth, Kavetham, 9S/2B, JoongDok, Dipcifica, RodyDeku, EraserMic

Poly ships - JoongDokSoo, EraserCloudMic, EraserCloudMic+Midnight, EraserMic+Midnight (idk the ship names)

I also love to write fanfiction!

But only for things I deem imperfect or unsatisfactory. Right now, I’m mostly writing for My Hero Academia (I stopped watching around season 5 but kept up with the manga and anime via TikTok lol). You can check me out at chickenKatsu on ao3.

Oh, and I crochet, too! I recently started an Instagram account for it here. I’m really proud of my original Onikabuto design 💕

Day 115 - 30 December - Bangkok

We got in very early in the morning to Bangkok airport and got ourselves through and got a taxi to Josh’s, who very kindly got up and showed us to our room. We slept in for a good bit and then had some breakfast and went for a walk round Josh’s neighbourhood which was not the one I had visited before. We then went to a shopping center briefly that is where all the counterfeit stuff is sold. We looked around as I needed a new bag but nothing looked quite sturdy enough. We then went to get some food nearby. I got some crispy pork and rice which was really tasty and was a great way to get back into Asian food. We then went for a drink on the river at a place called Jack’s Bar which I had been to before and then went on a river cruise for an hour or so.

We then went home and went for a swim in Josh’s buildings pool which was really nice and had a great view. We then went to a night market a bit further out. This market was very popular with tourists, particularly Chinese groups. There was lots of delicious food everywhere and it was slightly overwhelming so we honed in on lots of delicious bbq meat and veg on a stick and a few drinks before going home very full and tired.

Day 116 - 31 December - Bangkok

We got up and went for breakfast in an American style diner which had a delicious omelette. I had an orange coffee which is something that we have seen advertised in a number of places but we hadn’t had yet. It was actually really nice but I don’t think I will be having it all the time in the future.

Nin and I then went to the Jim Thompson House which was much more packed than the last time I went. We came back and chilled out and went to the gym and the pool, very GTL from Jersey Shore before our night out!

We went out for some Japanese food before taking a grab to the bar that we were going to for the evening. It was quite packed so we went down to the river and had a drink and waited for the fireworks with lots of other people in a strange ruined house that was full of people. The fireworks were amazing at midnight.

After that we went back to the bar and chatted in some nice chairs for a while before taking a tuk tuk back to the apartment and going to bed.

Day 117 - 1 January - Bangkok

We woke up quite late after the late finish the night before. We slowly went for some brunch at a thai place round the corner from Josh’s. I had some rice and minced beef and sone stir fried morning glory.

We then went to watch Gladiator II in the cinema which was very luxurious. It was so air conditioned that they gave out blankets and I was genuinely cold for the first time in ages. Gladiator was very entertaining even though the plot made no sense.

Nin went for a face massage and Josh and I went for a drink, and Nin joined us after. We then had dinner in the same place and we went back and watched the return of the king before going to sleep.

Day 118 - 2 January - Bangkok

We got up and had breakfast before driving to Ayutthaya. We went to a couple of sites and then went to get some lunch in a thai restaurant near the river. It was really delicious and we had a thom yum soup, some deep fried pork, morning glory and fried rice. One of the best meals we had in Thailand. We went to one more sight and then drove home. Nin and I got ice cream, Nin durian and me ube.

We drove back and went for a gym and a swim before going to another Japanese in a mall near Josh’s apartment. Thailand vs Vietnam was on a big screen so we watched some of that. I had a pork katsu, and we had some tempura and some sushi. It was really nice and a great way to end the food odyssey of Bangkok.

We went back and watched The Bourne Ultimatum, thus completing all the Bornes on this trip. At about half midnight we got a taxi to the airport for Manila. The baggage drop was very busy, once we got through security we chilled in a lounge for an hour of so and then boarded the flight.

I slept a bit on the flight but woke up during the decent feeling a little hallucinogenic.

Day 119 - 3 January - Manila

Getting off the plane, my internet weirdly seemed to have stopped working and I was very tired so hadn’t gone through all the rigmarole before immigration, when my online passenger boarding card had not come through against my passport details. Borrowing Nina’s phone to hotspot I did it again but it still didn’t work. On the third time the lady in the passport booth said it might have been because my details were wrong. I then realised that although my passport number was correct, my date of birth was wrong because I had put it in using European date syntax and not American, so I had to edit that and then resubmit.

I finally got through and then we got our bags and headed to our hotel in a taxi. We went to a quite overpriced place for breakfast and stayed there for a while, before going and getting a shoulder and foot massage in a place near our hotel which was much nicer than I anticipated.

We then checked in, showered and went for a snooze. Wehn we woke up we went to see Wicked in the cinema and then came back and went to sleep.

Day 120- 4 January - Manila

We had breakfast in the hotel and then went to the starting point of our walking tour. We had a very friendly guide who was very knowledgeable. We kicked off in a hostel and walked to a four hundred year old church before taking a ferry to the old town. We had another couple with us and a sweet student who was doing tourism in university and this tour was her internship!

Our first stop was the Black Nazarene Church, which apparently has almost cult like devotion from its followers. It is almost always full and services throughout the day particularly on Friday. The Black Nazarene is a relic of a black statue and supposedly burned cross. It apparently has massive crowds once a year where it is brought out and circles the church. Our guide said his parents went every Friday but he gave off the impression that his faith was not quite as fanatical.

In an unsurprising turn of events the British had occupied Manila in the 18th century for 18 months which reminded me of the map of 19 or so countries that supposedly the British had not invaded. We went to the old main street Escolta street which had lots of run down art deco buildings but which were in dire need of repair.

Divorce is illegal in the Philippines with only Vatican as the other country in the world where it is illegal. Interesting considering it was illegal in Ireland in my lifetime! Manila also has the worlds oldest organised China town, which was started by the Spanish in 1594! In return for them converting to Christianity, meaning that Chinese in Manila a nominally Christian, although there are private hidden temples, one of which we went to. It was a temple halfway up a modern building. The temple said that it was Buddhist but none of the shrines were to Buddha and were more Taoist, with the main shrine being to Kuang Kong.

We had our first snack which was a siopao which was a delicious dumpling that was fried at the bottom. One of the people in the tour asked about the fact that Bong Bong Marcos and Duarte seem to be at war with each other and he said that it was two dictators trying to kill each other and hopefully they neutralise each other. We then went past a place doing vegan snacks that were popular on tik tok and it is the only vegetarian restaurant in Chinatown.

We walked over a waterway that was so polluted it was pretty intense, we then walked past a mixed religion shrine as it was effectively a Buddhist shrine with a cross rather than a Buddha, our guide said this was typical of Manilian Chinese Christianity as it was a fusion of Christian and Buddhist practices.

Our second food snack was an hopia which was pastry with an ube center which was sweet and crumbly. Our guide said that they was a real mall culture in Manila and that 3 of the biggest malls in the world were here, which isn’t really my vibe but still. China town has privately financed fire brigades, including one but a guy called Mr. Ube who made his money in ube and all his trucks are purple!

We then went to the old town that was Spanish and enclosed by walls. Lots of it had been destroyed but you could definitely see the Spanish influence. We got some bikes and cycled around different places to to look at like the old dungeons. The other couple were itching to cycle so left us saying they had only booked the tour for the bike ride, which begs the question why they didn’t just hire bikes but anyway. We also managed to cycle round a bit before finishing up and getting a taxi back to our hotel.

We went for dinner at a popular Filipino restaurant (in a local mall obviously) which was nice but very meaty and quite heavy so we finished up very full.

Day 121- 5 January - Manila > Taipei

We got up and I went for a swim and a stretch. After packing and checking out we got a grab to central Manila again. There was a Sunday service taking place at the Church of the Black Nazarene which was packed with a crowd outside of the church. It was mad that there were so many people and it really felt like the most densely populated part of the most populated city in the world! We had a deep fried quail egg with a lovely vinegar and sweet and sour dressing, and headed to china town.

There we had one of the siopao that we had before which were very nice. We then went to a dumpling place we hadn’t been the day before. We had pork and chive kutchay dumplings which were really nice with the Chinese vinegar. We then bought some hopias from the place we had had them the day before (right next door to the dumpling place) and then went to the big shop of Mr. Ube and got a couple more hopias. We then braved the crowds to go back to the Black Nazarene to get some candles before hopping in a grab and going to that most Filipino of places the mall.

We walked around the mall closest to our hotel for a bit. I had lost my water bottle so I got a fun personalised one and we went to a cafe and had their signature hot chocolate and sweet cheese roll which tasted a lot better than it sounds. I think that Filippino food is probably too sweet for me but this was nice. We were getting unite tired from all the walking so we then went and had a drink in an Italian restaurant and due to time and ease had a plate of very nice pasta there before getting our bags and heading to the airport. The flight went without a problem and we arrived in Taipei at around 1, getting to our hotel around 2.

[aconissa]

do you have any adventure novel recommendations? especially but not exclusively of the seafaring/age of sail variety?

Hell yeah I do! Although fair warning, since I read lots of survival/exploration and horror, many (though not all) of these involve adventures going wrong:

Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin series, starting with Master and Commander (my favourite age of sail novels by far!)

Washington Black by Esi Edugyan (historical novel with a black protag)

The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff (set in Roman Britain)

A Land So Wild by Elyssa Warkentin (polar exploration, gay & perfect)

William Golding's Sea Trilogy, starting with Rites of Passage (age of sail journey to Australia)

C. S. Forester’s Hornblower series, starting with The Happy Return (or can be read in chronological order starting with Mr. Midshipman Hornblower, thus following the main character’s progress from midshipman to ship’s captain)

This Thing of Darkness by Harry Thompson (about the Beagle voyage)

The Birthday Boys by Beryl Bainbridge (about the Scott expedition)

Dark Matter and Thin Air by Michelle Paver (both involve ghosts; the first is set in the Arctic and the second is about mountaineering)

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant (sci-fi horror with mermaids and deep sea exploration - super fun and diverse!)

The Hunger by Alma Katsu (a horror retelling of the Donner-Reed Party)

The Terror by Dan Simmons (a horror retelling of the Franklin Expedition)

The Wolf in the Whale by Jordanna Max Brodsky (historical fantasy about Inuit and Viking characters)

The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle (the second Jurassic Park novel has the same title and I’d also recommend it - it’s more of an adventure story than it is in the movie, and it’s awesome!)

I know you said novels but there’s a lot of very compelling non-fiction books too which I’d highly recommend:

Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer (about the 1996 Everest disaster)

Last Hours on Everest by Graham Hoyland (about Mallory & Irving)

Boundless by Kathleen Winter (about her exploration of the Northwest Passage)

In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick (about the Whaleship Essex)

Monster of God by David Quammen (about large predators)

Dead Mountain by Donnie Eichar (about the Dyatlov Pass incident)

Batavia’s Graveyard by Mike Dash (about the Batavia mutiny)
