that thing wherein you're reading something and just KNOW
"this person has completely forgotten that the characters here live in Japan/Korea/China/Russia"
and is, instead, writing like an American.
#to be fair: jp & cn authors are just as guilty of narrow imaginations#but those authors are also the original content creators in these instances#with american fans later consuming asian-based content & rewriting them as wholly american#british media is somewhat better about not being orientalist nowadays (south asians are the UK's largest ethnic minority group)#globalization#americanisms#not an american#fandom things#it is very weird to see walmart show up in any story set in east asia#there are the odd american franchise there (starbucks & mcdonalds & 7-11 have HUGE presences in east asia)#but for the most part?#halloween and christmas are imported holidays used almost entirely for marketing purposes#fresh fruit is eaten everyday (bc - japan especially - these places are tropical)#milk is rare except as a flavour#because the vast majority of east asians are lactose intolerant#eating cereal for breakfast is WEIRD#rice cookers!!!#at least one parent will be MIA for most of a kid's life bc work culture - JP especially - is HELL#coming out is a weird american invention#(unless YOU are a person's significant other it's VERY rude to go around asking/talking about someone else's love life)#“well-behaved” teens have very limited spare time bc of school & clubs & cram school#highschoolers are “1st/2nd/3rd years” not freshmen/sophomores“ (seniors is still used)#ages of maturity are also Different & the culture around youth-adult interactions is less policed#cops are still awful (& having even the mildest of criminal offenses renders you a social pariah FOR LIFE)#blue anime hair/irises are supposed to read as “black with a blue undertone” (unless it's aqua or something egregriously unnatural)#red anime hair/irises are supposed to read as “reddish-brown” (unless it is explicitly addressed as unnatural)#pink is also supposed to be “brown”#the reason why anime uses such fantastic colouring in the first place?#EVERYONE'S HAIR/EYES ARE BLACK OR BROWNA#even dyed hair ends up less “blond” & more “light brown”

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.
if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.
but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?
what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.
and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.
you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.
so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.
it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.
sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.
oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

if you struggle with executive dysfunction re: cooking AND you can afford the expense, i cannot recommend getting a slightly upscale rice cooker highly enough.
here’s several different low spoons meals i can and do make with it:
add a cup of frozen mixed vegetables to your rice as you cook it, crack an egg directly into the hot rice when it’s done and stir to cook it (extra easy, makes sure you’re getting veggies and protein with your grains)
put frozen dumplings in with your rice before you cook it, they’ll steam on top of your rice and then you can top with sauce of choice
make plain rice but with coconut milk instead of water, add curry sauce and canned chicken breast afterward
make plain rice with dashi broth instead of plain water (you can buy dashi powder online. if you don’t like fishy flavors i recommend the brand below which is vegan), add cubed tofu and sesame seeds
there’s many more things you can do with a rice cooker like this if you have more energy or fresh food, but the above requires little more than dumping stuff into the pot and pressing cook. this is what i need when i’m struggling but i have to feed myself. none of the ingredients above go bad quickly so you can buy them in bulk and keep them in reserve for a long long time. product recommendations below the cut.
this is the powdered broth i recommend:

SQH and all of his meals in the modern age are made in the rice cooker. Like, yea, rice. But he’ll put a steamer basket on it and make dumplings. Make a boiled egg for breakfast.
Eventually he finds this guy online who looks drop dead gorgeous and he teaches people other stuff to make in rice cookers. Everything from cheesecake to curries to yoghurt. The dude is insanely good with the thing, and SQH is smitten with this one dish wonder guy.
Eventually he goes on social media and the first thing he found after making his noodles was that his favorite foodie died from food poisoning.
He accidentally also died after spilling his food.
Eventually after his transmigration he hears about this wondering cultivator who has this mysterious creation he made. So obviously SQH has to see it
SQH: “is that a rice cooker.”
SY: “…perhaps.”
SQH: “bro I missed those so much they are so useful
SY just kinda nods his head, no clue who this guy is and cautiously eating his yoghurt.
SQH: “ugh there was this really pretty food guy who used them for one pot meals. He died eating yoghurt and I can’t stomach the stuff anymore”
SY: “oh yea, that was me”
SQH:?!?
Like imagine realizing your fave online pretty boy foodie read your twenty million words of bad smut. Rest in peace SQH’s pride

pls put in tags where you live. maybe throw in if you’re white or not. i remember in junior year offering to buy my roommates a rice cooker and they informed me they don’t have one on purpose. what a wild world some people live in

recently I got to make some little items with vograce sponsorship!! I made white rabbit and odd fortune-cat epoxy charms, lanyard, & washi tape. there's a more in-depth writeup on my insta but it was so exciting to make merch in an object format, hope everyone will enjoy too :^)) these will be available in my webshop along with tortoise prints!

It's so funny to look at your malevolent posts as a non listener because those four guys are just the Potatolord Polycule to me and I love seeing their cute little interactions with no context.
Anyway the previous anon has captivated me and now I have to know: who gets custody of the Stuff in these temporary divorces? Is John storming out with the rice cooker while Arthur gets the house? I'm so intrigued lmao
oh that’s so funny, I’m sure all of my malevolent posting comes off as very unhinged to those who don’t listen to it lmao, glad you enjoy it regardless!
And well. neither of them would get the house that’s for sure, since they’re all basically living in Noel’s apartment, and he’s definitely not letting anyone take it even just to make a point.
Arthur probably just shuts himself in a room for half the day, John definitely takes Arthur’s shit and hides it when he’s feeling really petty. When he’s real pissed however, he straight up just leaves. doesn’t tell anyone where here’s going and definitely won’t be home for several hours, sometimes not until the next day. that’s usually when Arthur goes to find him, with Noel’s assistance (detective moment)
