DIY Cantonese Shumai (Pork and Shrimp Siu Mai)

Cantonese shumai dumplings are a classic dim sum favorite! Made with juicy pork, shrimp, and shiitake mushrooms and a thin golden dumpling wrapper this shumai recipe is better than the ones at a dim sum restaurant.

CW// brief mentions of incestuous + underage ships

Defining blorbo as a character I obsessed over and daydreamed excessively about, listing in chronological order as far as my failing memory can assure me, from the age of 10/11 to mid-twenties:

Artemis Fowl (Artemis/Domovoi Butler, Artemis Fowl novels, my love of master/servant trope started early)

Ciel Phantomhive/Sebastian (I cannot believe we're getting an S4 of black butler)

Harry Potter (Tom Riddle/Harry)

Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach, was a huge Byakuya/Ichigo shipper, Kenpachi/Ichigo and Grimmjoww/Ichigo also)

Kaname Kuran (Vampire Knight, yes I am cringe, what of it, Aidou/Kaname changed my brain chemistry, i thought about writing Kaname/Rido fanfic the other week in the year of our lord 2023)

Sherlock.

Clint Barton (Phil Coulson/Clint, did they ever get my boy out of the vents)

Dean Winchester (Dean/Death because i am serious when i say I goddamn love rarepairs, i love co-dependent destructive wincest)

Spock (Spirk of course, but mostly loved the Vulcan culture/worldbuilding and how Spock fit or didn't fit into it, Spock and Sarek hurt comfort was ahhhhh)

Oliver Queen (Oliver/Slade)

Tsunayoshi Sawada (Tsuna/Reborn, Tsuna/Xanxus, from the Katekyo Hitman Reborn series)

Napoleon Solo (Solo/Ilya Kuryakin, from 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E')

Chuck Bartowski (Chuck/John Casey, Chuck TV show)

Daenerys Targaryen (Dany/Khal Drogo)

Geralt (G/Jaskier, G/Emhyr)

(┛ಠДಠ)┛彡┻━┻ EMHYR VAR EMREIS, DEITHWEN ADDAN YN CARN AEP MORVUDD, who has dominated my every waking thought since 2021 and WE'RE STILL GOING STRONG INTO 2024!!! (I can be convinced to ship this man with just about anyone but I particularly like Geralt, Impera Brigade Guards, Vattier and Ardal.)

Paul Atreides (Paul/Duncan, Paul/Feyd, Paul/Chani)

This is like watching a time-lapse of my brain over about a decade lmao, a time capsule of 2010's fandoms and brain rot.

who was your original blorbo? Like the first ever blorbo that you felt Blorbo Induced Emotions for

SaGa Prefecture Items

// Noelmun here, sharing some info on the (2024) 10th Anniversary SaGa Prefecture Collaboration festivities that started yesterday.

So about a decade ago Ishikawa-san started collabing with Saga prefecture to boost sales/marketing for both the series and the prefecture's tourism. To that end, they do various collabs with local businesses and you'll see them around SaGa events. Seriously, they even have SaGa print on the trains.

So because of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven being released this year, they're collaborating with the local government to have some of their residential taxes (ふるさと納税, furisato nouzei) be dedicated toward different initiatives. Each group gives a thank you gift and a card and I just wanted to point out two in particular.

The other five before those two are:

Noel - JA Foods glutinous rice, notable for its sweet flavor

Rocbouquet - Marubun ramen bowl set

Subier - Squid Siumai & Toppings Set (Crab, Squid, Shrimp)

Bokhohn - Shirokawa Tea Garden's Yoshino Tea

Kzinssie - Ariake Seaweed

But then come Dantarg's and Wagnas' items...

Dantarg's item is Sirloin Steak from Saga Central Ranch. I find it funny that the item, if you're from the UK, is a "rump steak". Even the devs know it!

BUT THEN COMES WAGNAS

with Munemasa Brewery DRAFT BEER. (RIP that poor butterfly during Dantarg's New Year's exchange with Wagnas...)

... Do the devs know???

For lovers of Thai cuisine my favorite Thai chef, the radiant and reliable Pailin Chongchitnant, has a new book coming out–

Sabai (สบาย) means to be at ease or relaxed, and this book promises recipes that you can cook yourself even on a workday evening. 😍

You can pre-order Pai's new book at this link here. (This is not a paid promo by the way, just helping to spread the word and hopefully a little gastronomic happiness as well.)

On her YouTube channel, Pai also has recipes for some of the dishes you see in Thai BLs (no idea if she watches them though; they're just well-known dishes that she did her own spin on).

You can follow her making them there, and this trained Thai-born chef is also wholly, dazzlingly articulate in English (as fluent as actor Bible Wichapas) so there are never any lost-in-translation moments:

The following is a short sampling of my favorites (on YouTube, but not in the book as far as I know):

Chor muang (Purple Flower Dumplings) that we saw in Until We Meet Again;

Luk choup (Little Fruit Sculptures) that also popped up in Until We Meet Again;

Khanom jeep (Thai siumai/shaomai) that played a big role in Bad Buddy;

Luk chin (Thai meatballs) – we saw these in Bad Buddy and also The Eclipse;

And of course, delicious khao man gai (Hainanese Chicken Rice), the other main character in Moonlight Chicken (Pai is also half-Hainanese BTW 🤩).

Tagging fellow foodie with Southeast Asian roots @waitmyturtles and also Thai food fan cum BL god-guru @absolutebl in case you're interested! 💖

El protagonista. "SIUMAI"

Siumai fue mi primer hámster, me lo regaló la jefa de mi madre debido a que su hijo se fue a estudiar a otro país y no podían cuidarlo. Aprendí que son animales delicados y merecen un espacio habitable y comida balanceada, son animales pequeños y delicados. Duró un año y ocho meses a mi lado, tristemente le salió un tumor inoperable y solo quedó esperar hasta su último día. Se fue el 28 de octubre y se siente su ausencia.

Utilicé sus colores como referencia para el patrón del hámster del dibujo, realmente fue una inspiración inesperada y quise ponerlo de protagonista.

The Witcher Netflix's Emhyr Shrine

(RANT INCOMING, NSFW)

Recently finished watching season 3 of the TWN and I took about twenty psychic damage upon seeing what looked like a statue of Emhyr. (S3E8)

one. He looks like a random philosopher. (kinda feels like the statue is mid-shrug saying 'yeah i just invaded the northern realms. what are you going to do about it?')

two. If his men/Impera Brigade have a fan club/gossip sessions, this is the club hangout

three. Uh. my brain immediately went 'hey what if his men fucked him kneeling in front of his own statue? wouldn't that be fun?'

the thought of Emhyr being fucked (desecrated because it’s a SHRINE??) at the base of his own statue is… 🤭 a desperate mess at the foot of the idealised version of him…

And so, like any fanfic writer, I fired up the episode to scour for, ah, details and -

WHAT ARE THESE TABLES, NETFLIX? ARE WE AT A CAR BOOT SALE? THIS IS WHERE THE BUDGET RAN OUT?

(it really irks me that this room looks so low budget because if you were going to imply that the white flame thing is a cult, which fine, I can get behind that for smut reasons, why would they treat their shrine this poorly? surely, it would be richly decorated? this is giving community hall with trestle tables hastily set up for a bake sale!)

no wonder this was the only shot of the whole room!!! it looks so bad!!! it really ruins the immersion!!!

they can't fuck their emperor on that, one thrust and the entire thing collapses!!! think of the health and safety regulations!

(yes, the amount of candles is also an issue but reduce the number of candles and they can have some fun with wax play. what? you're telling me the white flame is afraid of a little hot wax? surely not?

And now I can’t stop thinking about Emhyr having ritual sex in front of his shrine. His men fucking him before they depart to battle like a good luck ritual, Emhyr over sensitised, fucked nearly senseless at the base of his statue, his men kneeling to worship him 🥰🫶

maybe they’re only allowed to fuck their emperor when they win.

maybe Emhyr’s not allowed to get himself off outside of marital sex to create an heir or being fucked senseless on his own altar. (insert flimsy religious reasoning here- orgasms allowed for duty only?)

OH and the flags here look like an afterthought, nilfs, get your shit together and iron those flags!!! during pride month of all things??? why are they propped up on the walls like that? hang em properly! at least emhyr can use them to help clean up i guess, they're not getting more rumpled.

also, the half-arsed stained glass here pisses me off. you can't even see it because there's a little bit at the top of the window and that's it! but that's just me loving the aesthetics of stained glass.

(also, since stained glass in private residences was a way of showing wealth, it would have been really cool to see a depiction of the sun/emhyr/the var emreis lineage/ the empire in stained glass or as a mural!)

and yes, I was trying to get a clear shot of the guards standing behind Emhyr's throne because I'm fully accepting them as Impera Brigade guards.

I do love that Netflix gave the guards stationed near Emhyr unique fancier armour than the other guards in the palace though!

(BUT WHY DID EMHYR NOT GET OTHER OUTFIT CHANGES? HE'S ROYALTY, WHY IS HE LIVING IN PLATE ARMOUR? ALSO, why is he wearing NORMAL TROUSERS with PLATE ARMOUR?)

I did like the roman columns and architecture here though, that was a nice touch but i felt like it didn't quite fit with the rest of the nilfgaardian theme... It just feels like it doesn't belong in this city:

I just... was not a fan. reminded me of brutalist architecture (i can see why they might have been going for that but just didn't like it for nilfgaard) and of mayan temples?? giving house Harkonnen from dune

OH AND THIS THING. This goddamn carriage...

I RECOGNISE THAT THIS IS SUCH A SILLY GRIPE OKAY, such a silly gripe, but I absolutely HATED the carriage Francesca and Fringilla were in. It looked like it was decorated by an amateur drama production. The metal beads, the shoddy paintwork, it looks so CHEAP.

WHY ARE THERE NO WINDOWS? IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD GLASS, JUST MAKE IT SO THERE ARE NO WINDOWS, which would make sense safety-wise for a carriage transporting the queen of the elves and sorceress???

Mimi looked amazing as ever though. Francesca/Fringilla toxic yuri :))) I loved seeing her pop up through the season and I can't wait to see her in S4.

Anyway. All that said, I do genuinely enjoy watching TWN, I appreciate them for making Emhyr so very fuckable even though he looks nothing like what I expected, (why is he so young. and pretty. I like it but. can we take the beard off. please?) and I will be tuning in for the new season.

I'm quite excited for Liam as Geralt, rooting for him.
