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.
#warm up#this isn't good#writeblr#this is complicated by the fact i can't stand up too long or i fuckken pass out and <3 hit my damn head <3#but i did take a deep breath and buy myself the stupid rice cooker#and!!! a very cheap sushi kit!!! i have been wanting to try making sushi for literally YEARS#the kit was only like 15 dollars!!!! and i haven't purchased it bc?!!??!?!?!?!!?#..... i didn't get the mixer tho that felt. like a lot. like too much.#on my list is a kitchenaid. one day when i get a check and i have paid off my student debt#and medical debt#i will put that first little bit of cash#into a kitchenaid 5qt stand mixer (with attachments)#i really do just go into their refurbished section and stare lustily at each option#but yeah i feel guilty about the rice cooker even tho i know for a fact this damn thing is gonna be a lifesaver#oh shit also fuck i forgot to mention . poached eggs

ok I'm curious so put in the tags what country you are from and whether or not you own/use a rice cooker
#i'm brazilian and yes!!#tho only now bc my roommate brought hers#back at my parents house we still ate rice everyday but NO RICE COOKER#now that i now the wonder of rice cooker i made them buy one#you just can't go back to the darkness of babysitting rice on the stovetop#edit: almost wanna add a ''and how much do they cost'' cause they're crazy cheap here#and i kinda assumed they'd be everywhere else#but in countries that don't eat a lot of rice i can see them being more expensive

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
#svsss#shen qingqiu#greeniegaes#shen yuan#svsss shen qingqiu#svsss au#shang qinghua#cumplane#platonic cumplane#this is purely based on a good half of my meals being based out of my rice cooker

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!
#HAPPY MONDAY still so excited about this!!! 13 yo me would be going APE about getting to make merch (still going ape)#poured heart into designing a cute pattern block lanyard only to realise how insane it looks to wear a lanyard all the time. nevertheless !#its tea times#items#will get around to some ask replying tomorrow!! they are sitting warm and cosy in my drafts rn...rice cooker

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)
#their divorces don’t last long enough to warrant anything more like taking the rice cooker#although I wouldn’t put it past John to take something with him on his walk#also Marie’s is a nice place they sometimes go to get away from the others when they need it#ask#Arthur Lester and his three boyfriends
