If you’re eating a plant-based diet and you are concerned about protein, you should try soya chunks. They’re 50g of protein per 100g, filling, very cheap and easy to cook with. You can get them in health stores in smaller quantities, but it is cheaper to buy them in larger bags online or in any Asian markets. They keep forever so they’re ideal to buy in bulk.

They are a similar texture to faux chicken, but they soak up flavour like tofu does. You just soak them in hot water for 15 mins, drain, then fry for about 5 mins in whatever sauce you like. They are such a good option for a low effort, high protein meal. If you want ideas for meals to use them in, you could replace the tofu in many of the recipes in my food section here.

For tonight’s dinner, I am showcasing you Mum’s Cooking again. At almost every meal, mum will ask why I need to take photos to show other people our food. I told her that others are curious to what we are eating just like I wanted to know what they have been enjoying too. Anyway, for tonight’s meal, it is braised five-spice pork in dark soya sauce and pork ribs & fish balls soup with lettuces.

Breakfast foods in China

Since arriving in China my typical breakfast has changed quite a lot (hello baozi and mung bean paste!) so I decided to explore some common local breakfast foods eaten in China!

包子 - Bāozi (my love) These have been an almost consistent (excluding the lunar new year when the canteens and most cafes and restaurants closed) staple of my breakfast ever since I arrived in China. They come with several fillings such as veggie, pork, seafood etc. and they can cooked in different ways such as being steamed, fried etc. Here's a more in-depth post about the types of dumplings and bāo.

粥 - Porridge (zhōu) I sometimes have porridge for lunch instead and it's a really filling meal. I get the Century Egg Congee with Chicken - 皮蛋瘦肉粥 (Pídàn shòu ròu zhōu) and it's one of my all time favourite meals.

煎饼 - Egg pancake (jiānbing) Popular also as a street food, this is a thin crepe type pancake with an egg, veggie, spice, sauce and sometimes meat filling. The actual filling varies as you can customize what veggies and spice level you'd like and whether or not you want meat.

热干面 - Hot and dry noodles (règānmiàn) I honestly had no idea about this dishes existence until a while ago, probably because it's a regional dish originating from Wuhan which is kind of far away from my location. These are spicy and dried noodles which are actually eaten without a broth unlike many other noodles. They seem pretty interesting so if anyone tried them before do share your experience!

桂林米粉 - Guilin Rice noodles (guìlín mĭfĕn) This appears to be another regional dish from Guilin, Guanxi as I had no idea that this was a also a pretty popular breakfast dish. Apparently it's not the noodles but rather the broth that they're cooked in that makes them special, with the actual recepie varying across the region. Someone should do a long weekend trip vlog (pondering on this) to Guilin where they just go from store to store trying these noodles and trying to determine the differences.

葱油饼 - Scallion oil pancake (cōngyŏubĭng) A tasty but heavy-ish pancake imo. These pancakes are cooked with scallions (green onion) and pan-fried to give it that crispy and chewy texture. Very tasty, but it's a little too heavy on the oil for me so I save these pancakes for special occasions instead.

豆浆油条 - Soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks (dòujiāng yóutiáo) I have tried the dough sticks, and I have tried soya milk but separately so far. The dough sticks are these long deep-friend dough sticks, reminding me slightly of breadsticks but more lighter and chewier.

茶鸡蛋 - Tea eggs (chájīdàn) I adore these, my canteen serves them along with regular eggs for breakfast and the tea eggs are usually the first to go. They actually don't really involve tea, instead these eggs are cooked in a mixture of chinese five-spice powder (pepper, cloves, cinnamon, star anise and fennel seeds), soy sauce, and black tea leaves, although some recipes leave out the tea leaves. They have a relatively strong smell so I usually grab some for breakfast on the weekends or in the canteen at lunch if there are any leftover after breakfast. They are also quite cheap, one egg is around 2 yuan so around 0.30 euro, making them a pretty filling and affordable breakfast food.

If there are any other common or specific breakfast foods that you know of, do share them please as I love trying out new things!

Hakuri, his true value, the girl from his past and the Rakuzaichi Arc

This started as me trying to tweet about some Rakuzaichi Arc and Hakuri thought because I still didn't get over it (I started Kagurabachi yesterday and already read all the chapters released lol) and it ended up much longer than I expected. I'm sure most of this would have already been said by someone, and is mostly me rambling but…

"You talk with me. Thanks to you I've enjoyed this meals."

The way something so simple really gave Hakuri enough strength to move forward, made him not lose hope in life, still makes me feel things.

"We talked… We talked together…"

The way his last attempt at stopping her is that, the words that gave him hope. He wanted to give back some of the hope he found in those words, to at the very least say "you were there for me, and talked with me, and that wasn't meaningless because thanks to you I thought it was ok for me to still be there. It's not that I talked with you, we talked together. You said we were both the same so if I have value you have it too".

The way he remembers how he specifically reinforced her idea of how, even if being sold wasn't her fate, she is unable to be with other people or be a normal person. His words can't reach her because she's been cornered, she really doesn't see hope.

Even if Hakuri's family mistreated him he still hoped they loved him. He was still waiting for the praise of his father after seeing how he was fully aware of the beatings and still turned his back on him. When he was explaining how his big brother always was "conveniently" losing the tools to beat him up so he will surely go back to beating him the old-fashioned way he sounded like he was trying to find some love in that, "He doesn't really want to hurt me that much, see? He lost the tool again." Even when believing his brother wanted to kill him when describing him he said "he loves me".

When she says her lover sold her I think it also resonates with him because it lets him see how she truly stopped believing someone could truly love her, and he understands her despair because he's also motivated by wanting his loved ones to love him back.

Throughout the arc Hakuri finally discovers he actually had talent with sorcery. One of the reason for being bullied and his low self-esteem was the belief that he didn't have any talent in that area, and his family didn't really care enough to realize it wasn't true or aknowledge any of his efforts to still serve the family.

He feels useless not being able to do more but let's be honest, he was doing his best with the non-sorcery stuff and at some point his lack of talent wasn't even the problem. The moment Soya, his big brother, realized Hakuri was no longer the pathetic and weak little brother he believed he was he got angry and refused to believe it, and his father just aknowledged the mistake of not having noticed his true talents before but didn't really believed in his potential even when presented with the evidence. Chihiro tells Kyora (the father) he should have believed in Hakuri and the father still manages to underestimate Hakuri again other three times, convinced that "ok he surpassed what I believed him capable of but he can't do more", his defeat is partly caused by his refusal to look at his son and realize he was great all along, something Soya also does. They both convinced themselves that Hakuri was a failure no matter what. Shiba only needed a day or two to look at that boy and realize he was in fact super talented without Hakuri doing anything big, but they have literal proof Hakuri is a talent not seen since the first generation and they still insisted he was no good, truly blind to the facts.

"Even if it was all lies (…) This time, I'll prove it"

Hakuri says this in his fight with Soya. Yeah, he knows maybe the words that girl said to him were just a way of gaining his sympathy, he can't be sure, but as she said he was trapped in a cage that made him unable to see his own worth.

He thought if his loved ones saw him as worthless he truly was worthless, but thanks to her words he slowly realized he still has value that is not conditional on his family or being useful to them and he found other people who valued him for who he is.

Even if her telling him he had value could have been said without truly believing in it, he will prove she was right: Hakuri is using sorcery, he's refusing to lose hope and let his family words become true, refusing to stop fighting; his brother is still screaming he won't amount to anything but no amount of words can change the fact that that's no longer true.

She said they were the same, rejects, and it's true that when they met both believed no one would ever value them. But she was the first to make Hakuri feel like he was important to someone, and that made her important to him too.

By proving he has worth and not losing hope he's also proving that if they were the same then she wasn't just merchandise. She was valuable as a person even if someone she cared about didn't value her, it was her words that taught him that.

Hakuri finally asks Chihiro to slay his father after he sees how one of his brothers died protecting a worthless door. This request it's the final step to accept that yeah, while Hakuri still loved his father and wanted him to praise him he's no longer dependent on his acknowledgement, because he has finally found himself and knows what he wants to do.

I think the whole family affair was tied up already with the end of the arc but I wonder if we will see any of his family members (like Soya) in the future. I don't think it's super necessary right now because Hakuri has already moved past his family and has other goals now and I'm sure with the Rakuzaichi dismantled the brothers will have their hands full looking for a way to survive (I guess they will end up putting to use the fact that they are proficient sorcerers? But I guess they will lay low for a while) but since they are still alive it wouldn't be so rare if they appear again in the future.

Kinda unrelated (didn't know where to fit this), but going back to the girl in Hakuri's past (I just realized she was never given a name and Hakuri didn't ask either), all her story also made me think about the first arc with Char: Char's mother body had special properties so she was hunted down for it, someone she trusted sold her, she ended up trapped and used as a guinea pig. The biggest difference was Char's mother had someone who still loved her (her daughter) so she never let the situation make her lose all hope.

And despite that, hope alone wasn't enough, one could say she never found someone who was willing to help her and she died trapped in there. Yeah, the girl from Hakuri's past wasn't entirely wrong, her fate looked quite bad and she didn't have anyone for her to still try despite the odds, it's quite possible even if she really did escape she would have ended up back into the black market or hunted down (let's be honest, Hakuri at most could have let her escape but he didn't seem to have the power to protect her), it's undeniable. But then... then we have Char, who also kept believing she had a chance at happiness because someone she cared for was wishing for her to not give up and keep looking for it, and she didn't give up and found people who care of her and won't see her as a tool or a monster. Yeah, she was lucky to find Chihiro's group, but she is mostly safe right now.

So, at the end, we don't really know what would have happened if the girl from Hakuri's past didn't lose hope. We have seen the two outcomes happening.

Being completely honest (and after having said all of this, lol) I'm not sure how much Hakuri was willing or able to help her, I assume the "let's eat together outside" was him letting her know the "let's escape together" was on the table? Or was it a last favor to her? Either way I think it was when everything went down that he finally fully realized how horrible was the situation and thought about how he should have done more before that point. Like his determination to stop the Rakuzaichi and his realization of how horrible it was were that strong because she did something very extreme, but I don't know if he was determined about stopping it before that. When he first talks about how he started to realize it was wrong he's shown in a suit looking at a group of prisioners so I assume he was already somewhat doubtful by the point in time he met her and still was hard to convince him/he still talked about merchandise and all that, so maybe he was willing to let her escape, maybe even prepared to be disowned and receive a beating, but wasn't really thinking about stopping the whole thing, I don't know.

Anyway, if someone read all of this... hope you enjoyed it (?)

I’m using this post to collect some cute things that happened throughout the day :)

First of all, two fan pics of Mile that i adored:

During the live before the event, Pond said that Mile was wearing a jacket of the same color as Porche’s jacket in the last episode of KP. Coincidentally Mile took a similar pose as Porsche later on the day 😳 (x)

Talking about food during the live

Pond: what about Apo? In Singapore he ate soya beancurd at every meal (note: apo went to singapore approximately one year ago for a solo event)

Mile: yeah, he ate soya beancurd at every meal… but i never tried it. Is it delicious? Because i never received it as souvenir, it looks delicious

Fans remembered that during his solo SG trip, Apo was carrying two bowls of soya beancurd at the airport on his way home.

He was warned he couldn’t bring them on the plane so he ate them both right there. Most likely Mile by saying ‘he never received it as souvenir’ meant that Apo was bringing some soyabeancurd for him 🥹

Still during the live

Pond: Apo knows that Mile is nervous, so he cheers him up all the time.

Mile: yes i am nervous, not at every event i feel like this but i think this kind of nervous is good

I bet he feels less nervous when Apo is with him

Non fans noticing the chaos fans created for Mile at the mall <3

Pond did a second IG live after the event. Worth of note is that P’mos started singing “why don’t you stay” and both Pond and Mile said Apo sings it all the time LOOOOL

Lucky boy

This is sexual fantasy about consenting adults, written for persons over the age of 18.

by MaverickNoir, July 2024

He cannot believe his luck. Sharing a lazy autumn afternoon with two fabulous, sexy women, that he adores.

M is a redhead. Her smile is his earliest memory of her, passing on the sidewalk outside the university bookshop. Since that moment she could make him do most anything with that smile. Her laugh and energy is intoxicating. She has an ass he finds himself staring at after many years of marriage. Especially in yoga pants, or in the purple striped skirt she has on today.

R is darker, in colouring and sense of humour. She can make him kneel by raising an eyebrow. When she turns on her bedroom voice it arouses him instantly. Her lips and cleavage make him weak. She has taught him many ways to submit.

The ladies met the day before for the first time over tea and cake, which led to gin and tonics. He had been nervous and acted that way. Their sensibilities and humour clicked though, and they soon seemed like old friends, sharing inside jokes that he was not privy to.

The three of them had the holiday house to for the weekend. With its high French doors and sweeping views over the leafy hills. He had prepared them lunch, a beef strip salad with soya vinaigrette. Two glasses of the finest Cape Shiraz were had by all. Red wine during the day was his idea of decadence and he relished it.

After lunch he carried their espresso coffee and Belgian chocolates to the verandah with a swagger, satisfied with the success of the meal. The ladies were lounging on deck chairs, basking in the soft autumn sun. The season coloured the landscape in warm yellows and reds, and the day was warm and pleasant.

As he set down the treats on the side table, he noticed R’s summer cotton dress pulled high over her thighs to tan her legs. Her edgy tattoos on display. Pulling away his gaze he realises she was watching him with a smirk, and his ears turn red.

‘Thank you, Pet,’ R says. M blows him a kiss. He aims for the third deck chair. ‘Before you settle in we have need of some entertainment with our dessert..’. He picks up the shift in her tone. It is subtle but his body knows it and responds. ‘How can I… assist in that regard.’ Both women laugh at his sudden change in demeanour. R seems to ponder deeply, as she places a piece of chocolate in her mouth. ‘Show us how well you’ve practiced edging yourself Pet’.

Not for a moment does he hesitate. He is aware that the neighbour’s Bedroom window has a view over their verandah. But he is much too aroused by the erotic quality of the situation. So he strips down, hurriedly. Kneels when she orders. Strokes for them and adjusts his style and speed as they require. Excruciatingly slowly at first, and like a horny dog when they tell him to, maintaining eye contact when told. When precum lubricates the length of his shaft and his balls tighten, they tell him to stop.  He is throbbing and his heart is racing.

M motions him over. He instinctively goes to her on hands and knees. She hikes up the sexy skirt and spreads her legs. He stares at her white panties, docile, awaiting instruction, unaware he is licking his lips. He hears R laugh, far away. ‘What do you say,’ M asks him in a mocking voice. ‘Use your words.’

‘Please? please...’ She pulls him roughly by the hair, directly into her pussy. He licks hungrily over the thin material, until she pulls it to one side and lets him suck her lips into his mouth and taste her. ‘So eager…’ he hears R say. When a whispered  ‘Fuuuuuuucck…’ escapes M’s lips her voice is low and he knows he is doing it right.

He stops suddenly, in alarm when he feels his ass cheeks pulled apart. R is behind him. She spits onto his asshole and uses a toy to spread her saliva all around in slow circular motions. He momentarily wants to protest, the knowledge of the neighbour flooding back, but it feels too good and moans instead. Then M slaps his face. Not very hard, but it catches him unaware. She’s never done anything like that before. ‘Did I tell you to stop?’

 He laps at her again, hungrily, his lips and nose covered in her scent. Up and down her delicious pussy. He moans into her cunt as R slips the remote controlled prostate vibrator inside him. He hasn’t been fucked recently so it stretches him. His little hole accepts it and R slaps both ass cheeks in turn. ‘Good…’ SLAP…’ boy’ SLAP.  M cums with his tongue deep inside her. The moan are low, the way he loves to hear them. She clasps her thighs around his head and pulls his face so deeply into her that he momentarily wonder if he’s going to suffocate. He is not used to her being so aggressive. She releases him and lays back on the deck chair, all laughs and giggles. He gasps air, and licks his lips again, enjoying the view of a task successfully completed.

At that moment R starts up the remote vibrator and he nearly doubles over at the intensity of it. He swears under his breath and thanks her as his cock flexes with the vibration. ‘May I… stroke it some more please…’ She heightens the speed and he closes his eyes, knuckles white on the pavement. ‘Fuck…. please…’ He just hears them laughs. R puts her foot on his shoulder. ‘Show M how much you enjoy having your ass vibrated and stretched,’ He doesn’t hesitate in kissing R’s feet, licking her toes, it feels so good to touch her, the pleasure of the vibrator putting him in a complete sub-state. He hears them discuss him, but the words are lost in the fog of arousal. After several minutes she pulls her foot away. ‘That’s enough. Fucking Slut.’  She changes the vibrator setting again and he groans.

‘Now you will wait on your knees, with hands behind your back’.  She takes aways the vibration abruptly and he straightens up, waiting on the two Goddesses, breathing hard. He is taken aback to see that M has joined R on her deck chair and is kissing her neck. R slips her top over her head, then sensually takes M at the back of her hair and guides her mouth to her full breasts, holding his gaze. M hungrily licks all around R’s nipples before sucking on them, each in turn, her hand sliding along the inside of R’s thigh, over the tattoos, and under her dress. He can’t believe his eyes, his wife in a scene from his fantasies. He watches R open her legs to give better access. M looks over at him and tastes R on her fingers. R gropes his wife’s ass, slaps it, as their tongues intertwine, and begins slipping the white panties over her hips, the skirt high over her middle. They are consumed with each other, completely oblivious of him. M’s panties drop to the floor. The two beautiful people cum as his precum pools on the paving. He becomes aware that his knees are aching.

‘Oh, my M, look at your panties lying forgotten on the floor... Collect them will you Pet?’ He crawls over, glad to move his burning knees, and holds them out to M. ‘No. No, I think not... Have you ever seen him in panties M? Hmm. Did you know how much he enjoys wearing them? Our little panty boy?’ M laughs. ‘I have not.’ He slips them on but his cock (her… their.. cock) keeps slipping out. Feels his face turn red as the women laugh hysterically. ‘Take the plates into the house and wait,’ says M. Her voice has taken a commanding tone.

******************

His forearms rest on the kitchen counter and his hands are cuffed. R came prepared. She’s offered to teach M how to use a crop correctly. M is exceedingly eager to be taught. His legs are spread apart as he bends over and waits to become the subject of her training. Three times he is told, WIDER. With light taps of the crop to his inner thigh each time. M’s first few strokes of the crop are not much more than taps either. R encourages her though. ‘You know, he deserves a decent cropping. He confessed such perverted things to me. He likes it, I promise.’ Suddenly M finds some inner malice. The crop burns his left ass cheek. Then the other. Again. Again. When it hits between his cheeks it stings and he cries out. It also hits the vibrator which is still lodged inside him and somehow causes it to activate. The combination of pleasure and pain clouds his mind. The burn of his ass is excruciating. When she strikes his testicles he loses his footing and collapse to the floor. ‘Tut tut, what an unacceptable fuck toy’.

They send him to the Bedroom, where he removes the vibrator and waits on his hands and knees on the bed as instructed. It was very challenging to remove it while cuffed, he had to reach between his legs with both hands. The afternoon suddenly feels long as he watches the sun stretch against the wall. He is exhausted and aching.

When the women enter the room they are transformed. M has on a red bra and panties. R all in black. Each wearing a strap-on dildo!  This sight of these gloriously sexy women dressed in such dominant fashion make him curse out loud. ‘Such a lucky boy, don’t you think M?’ ‘The luckiest…’

Their animated conversation, the matter-of-fact discussion about how to fuck him catches him off guard. They stroke the length of their cocks, comparing inches, girth. Then walked around him and compared it to his. R weighs his balls while M tests how hard the shaft is. They joke about who should have his whore mouth first. Who should take his hungry asshole. Whether he would be able to cum from penetration alone. They made him stick out his tongue and taste R’s dick. Then M’s. Then both at the same time. R milks some of his precum and spreads it all over the head of her strap and has him clean it. ‘No teeth Slut… Haha’ He sucks them off hungrily, to prove how much he likes it, how much he wants to please them, and they laughe at how easy he is.

Then M takes him from behind. Holding his hips she slowly slides into him. He moans with every inch she gives him.  ‘I always love the feeling, when you hold my hips while you fuck me …  Did you know that? Thought you should experience it.’ Then she drives all the way inside. Pulling him over her cock, back and forth, mechanically impaling him. ‘Take it, cock Slut, Take it.’ He hardly recognises her voice. Or he does, but the words don’t compute. R takes a turn. She doesn’t ease in into him. He takes the extra girth in gasps. After three minutes he collapses for the second time that day. She turns him over and pushes his legs against his chest. He has lost his erection and she makes him stroke with cuffed hands as she takes him again until its at least almost hard. Then they both seem to lose interest and leave him, stretched and used on the bed.

 ****************************

When he wakes the house is quiet and the sun nearly set. He is naked and sore and wanders around until he finds a note on the Kitchen table.

‘Gone out for Sundowners. Clean up and be ready to eat ass when we get back.’ He looks at his wrists, still cuffed, and considers how best to take a proper shower in this way.

Who's awake at 4 am? Jungkook. he'd not gotten any sleep. He was up the whole night but managed to doze off a few times before he woke up to do his yoga. he'd woken up earlier for another reason, and that was to prepare breakfast for you before he left for work.

he didn't plan on making a toast or some ham and egg. Instead, he decided to go with a light meal, something easy and healthy to start your day off with. 'Doenjang Guk,' a soya bean paste soup. It's easy to cook and has marvellous health benefits. Besides, he was in a mood for soup anyway.

Jungkook took his time with the vegetables and the meat, which he cooked well, taking no risk with undercooked meat for you. He was satisfied with it, anyone could tell by his face. the scrunched, angry face that he makes when he enjoys the taste of food. he packed it with heat warmers so it didn't lose its warmth by the time he took it to your place, and then he took a shower and dressed up for work.

he planned to send the food over to yours by his driver then realized that it wouldn't be safe and he wanted to see you anyway, just in case...

Jungkook decided to drive himself to work today. He's planning on doing this until you're back at his place, so he won't have to travel back and forth to get your meals. It's almost 7 a.m., and he's standing in front of your door, waiting for you to answer the doorbell. 'Oh, she's fast asleep, I'm disturbing her.' One ring....then comes another...

but he's not answered. In one mind, he feels terrible that he's disturbing your sleep, and the other mind says that he should be concerned. but when he hears the keys clang, he's relieved after he meets your puffy face and dishevelled hair. your eyes are barely left open, you stand in front of him with a long shirt that covers your knees and half the buttons undone, revealing the top of your growing bump.

"What?" You ask him almost instantly, like he's a random sanitation worker who's here to collect last week's garbage. He wants to laugh at how awfully you communicate in the mornings. That being said, you're way too grumpy.

"breakfast? remember?" You rubbed your eyes, and they opened slightly, and then you nodded. "You didn't have to, but thanks."

"You are very ungrateful." "I'm just sleepy." You instantly answer, even when you're half awake, you've still got that never-back-down attitude. he hands over the little bag to you, that's got your freshly handmade soup that he'd done just for you as well as some cooked rice and kimchi if you felt like having it as a side dish.

"There's some soup, so warm it before you have it." He advises you, and you quickly nod while letting out a yawn, leaning on the door frame and leaving out breathes. he watches you while your eyes are closed. It's funny how you're his total opposite.

His type is someone who would wake him up at 4 am for yoga, and then there's you. That's exactly why he can never think of you for anything more. "Hey, don't sleep here, panda. get inside." "mmhmm."

you hum and try to turn around but slowly lose balance. 'Oh my god, this woman.' he thinks. The truth is, you spent the whole damn night watching tv and having snacks. you waited until he left the building, you put on the movie 'Damsel'

and if that was not enough, you even watched a couple of the movies that were newly released while munching on your craving, pizza-flavoured Pringles. you fell asleep at 4:45, so you're bound to be feeling drowsy at 7 am. "careful-" he hissed when you lost balance.

"I'm alright." You put your hands higher to let him know that it was nothing. "I'll bring you lunch. Let me know if you want anything in particular. Drop a text or- call? anything." "Sure, sure. good night." you close the door and waddle back to your room after placing the warm soup on your marble kitchen counter.

Jungkook chuckled and took the elevator to drive back to the office. He's gonna have a hard time concentrating at work after seeing you looking absolutely hilarious this morning.

-

The heating pad had kept the soup warm enough for it to savour the taste. You sat down on the couch and turned on the television, choosing a Netflix show while you had your late breakfast. one mouthful of the soup allowed hums to leave out of your lips, so you closed your eyes and leaned back on the sofa.

"Can the day get any better than this soup?" you ask yourself and continue to gulp down the liquid, occasionally pairing some kimchi with it but you've totally forgotten about the damn show that's been played because all your focus is solely on the broth.

you cleaned the dishes and took down a mental note to yourself to thank Mr Jeon Jungkook for this heavenly food because yes, this is a zillion times better than the convenience store and has surely made your child active too, cause you can feel yourself being super hype right now. The baby has a month left until it starts

its own karate show with all that kicking and movements that you'll be able to feel. Right now, it's not very evident although you feel something. When you got back to the show, you received a text message from the one and only Jungkook.

[ From Jungkook ] Are you awake? Did you have the soup?

[ y/n ] Good afternoon, Mr Jeon, I did have it just now, so there's no need for lunch, please.

[ From Jungkook ] You shouldn't have breakfast this late. You missed your pills, too, i'm sure.

welps, you did forget to have it.

[ y/n ] Ooops-

[ From Jungkook ] i'll just get an early dinner for you then, What would you like to have? Anythng in particular?

you're completely full, and the food is at the brim of your body, so no, you can't even think about food.

[ y/n ] anything you like is fine, thanks.

-

it's almost 6 pm, and Jungkook can't stop looking at the clock while he's at the meeting. the meeting held today is very important, in fact, it's gonna be brilliant for the reputation and sales of Jeon Industries but somehow the CEO himself has not quite paid attention to whatever that the investors and staff had been discussing, instead, he's busy counting the seconds to 6;10pm so when the clock strikes it, he can leave.

"What's your opinion on this, Mr. Jeon?" Jungkook abruptly turns and sighs, watching his fingers twitch it at the sudden question. "uh- I think it's perfect. we should get started on this." "Started on what?" Jungkook licked his lips, reconsidering what the damn question was again. 'Wasn't my opinion asked on starting this project?'

"uh- the project?" "Mr. Jeon, we were discussing the timing for our next meeting held this Friday. The project should be finalized there." fuck- "Ohh, right, absolutely, Mr. Won! The timing is perfect. What was it again?" "8pm?"Yes, 8 is great. all sorted? thanks for your time, Mr Won. I shall see you on Friday."

Jungkook rose from his seat and walked out of the room, leaving everyone in confusion. "shit- I need to leave." he told himself. "Mr. Jung, I've got somewhere to be. Check my files and email me the rest of it that has to be signed for tomorrow." "Sure, Mr Jeon.''

He grabbed his office bag and took the elevator to get to the ground floor. He knows exactly what he's gonna get for dinner, and you're gonna love it. He can't wait for it. "Hello? is my order ready?" "Yes, Mr Jeon." "I'm on my way." he drove to the restaurant, picked up his packaged food, paid for it, and was set to drive to yours.

it's been in Jungkook's mind throughout last night, so he's very much excited about this. He'd hoped you didn't have a specific food in mind so he could get this, and it worked. You actually didn't want to have anything in specific that was in his favour. There now he stands in front of the door, ringing the doorbell, waiting for you to answer the door.

"Who is it?" You ask and try to check from the little peephole, but it is black. so you opened the door and poked your head outside and then sighed in relief. "Why did you cover the hole?" "Can't i?" "You don't do that." You let him walk inside, and he did, placing the plastic bags of food on the coffee table in front of the blush pink couch that you own. "Well, what are all these?"

"Dinner." Your eyes sparkled as you looked at his back while he removed his loafers and placed them at the corner of the door and then turned to face you. "Wait, I texted you what i was craving, and i don't think my message was read." Jungkook's expression dropped.

He definitely didn't get what you wanted because he did not check his phone for the last hour, and he knows you're gonna be disappointed by his choice of food. his eyes look around in sadness, like a little puppy.

you sit on the couch and open up the food that he got because damn you're hungry like a pack of wolves. Pregnancy appetite is no joke! Jungkook grew closer to you as he bit on his lips and blinked fast. He felt disheartened. one, because he didn't get what you wanted so you won't be satisfied and two, he got what he liked so again you're not gonna like it, probably?

you've been craving for this one thing after you watched the damn tv series and you craved it so much that you tried to check for it on the food delivery app and they did have it but it was fucking expensive so you felt guilty and then you thought you could try making

it then you realized you didn't have all the ingredients to make it, and not gonna lie you even shed a few tears because you searched for easier 5 min recipes that were similar to that but there wasn't any but then your fyp was filled with food similar to that so you felt so sad that you cried for about 5 minutes and then out of no choice you texted him. pregnancy is bullshit, you thought to yourself while crying over a stupid plate of food. you opened the plastic box and- "oh my god??!!!! you got itttt?????"

you screamed and immediately got on your feet to hug him. It was Pesto alla Genovese that you were craving for. The one that Jungkook prepared for you when you first moved with him to his place. your hands were tied around his neck as you hugged him, Jungkook leans down to your height for the way you are holding his neck and pulling him down. he can feel something poking his stomach,

so he looks down only to notice your belly touching his stomach, the closeness between the two of you had his breathing getting higher and faster by each millisecond and you are unconsciously hugging him while yapping about how much you were craving for this the whole evening. he's unsure if he should hug you back or keep his hands to himself but he's stiff and by the time he does anything, it's too late. "you have no idea-"

you get a lack of response from him, so when you stop talking you realise that it's so quiet in the room and that you're really really close to him. you soon pulled out your arms from him, still standing in front of him, right there. you didn't want this to be awkward even though the man standing forward you are extremely stiff. "uh-" you blink multiple times, regretting your life decisions because what did you just do right now?

'shit- what should I say- say something Jungkook, don't just stand like that. she's never gonna hug you again if you continue to make this whole situation uncomfortable.'

"Wait, so this is what you craved for?!" he soon asked you with his eyes larger than it was, showing you that he was genuinely so happy that he got what you wanted. you nodded your head, leaving a distance between the two of you. "Yes, you did see my texts!!" "No, I did not, I promise." You looked at him, with squinting eyes. He put his hands up, showing you that he did not lie. "Oh man, this is girl's dinner!" Jungkook huffed. "Girls' dinner?"

"The ones who watch Tiktok would know, unlike you." "You think I don't have TikTok? I do." "Never seen you use it." "Well, you haven't seen anything about me, yet." "don't want to, anyway." "eat your food." He quits the little bickering between the two of you, while you open up the other packaging.

there's not just one pasta, there's pumpkin ravioli, and spinach gnocchi with extra cheese too??! you took deep breaths of all the food and tried hard not to pass out cause it all smelled so divine, it's making your pregnancy hormones go a merry-go-round.

"What is this? you gonna kill me with all this pasta. but I'm starving, even though I had your soup, had some bread with strawberry jam, then had some Cheetos with some spread an-" "Eat up already!" "i can't find a for-" "let me get one for you." he walked to the counter and pulled out the drawers finding the cutlery.

"it's the second drawer." he opened it and found a couple inside, grabbing one fork for you he washed it with some dishwasher and then handed it over to you. "it's warm, have it now."

you poked it into the spaghetti that was coated in the pesto sauce and slurped it up. "mm mmm mmm." you hummed and continued to push more and more pasta into your mouth, your mouth being full, you still managed to poke the gnocchi and swallowed the pasta so fast, Jungkook was damn worried that you would accidentally choke. "careful tiger, the food won't run away." he smiled with his eyes.

his eyes smiled before his lips did, watching you eat so happily, humming with each bite, giggling at the mess you've made on the table and your face. the sauce covering your chin and nose. Jungkook loves his sight, it's too beautiful to look away. watching you eat, is on his favourite list.

might be in his top 5. "this may be 5 stars but yours is 10. I said what I said!" you threw your hands up, looking at him with that smile, but all that green and white sauce around your mouth had only made you look much much more adorable. "Is it?" "Of course it is! A big ass ten!" he puts his hands inside his pockets and leans against the wall, to watch you longer.

His eyes show warmth and softness towards you, he's looking at you so gently like he found a part of himself in you. He feels satisfied, he feels full just by watching you eat like a little lion cub.

"don't just stand there like a creep, join me." "it's all for you-" "Come now." you pat the seat beside you and he walks over to you, sitting next to you. "eat with me." he nods and then continues to take off the coat of his suit, leaving him with his white shirt. "I'll grab a fork for myself." He gets one for himself,

and you pass the pasta to him. He still can't stop looking at you, you're such a messy eater, he's holding back his laugh. you look over at him and raise your eyebrow. "what?" "it's nothing-"

"What?" he takes a tissue out of the plastic bag and grows closer to you, pasting the tissue to your face. "clean your face." you rolled your eyes at him and wiped off all the cream that was around your mouth. "Here, try the ravioli." "not a fan of pumpkin, you have it-" "What? No, you have to try it!"

you pricked a few from your fork and brought it closer to his mouth. "I'm good y/n-" "Try it-" "No I'm-" The pasta slipped off the fork and fell on his white shirt. you gasped and soon picked it up, but the shirt was already stained.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry-" "Hey-" you grabbed the tissue, pulling him closer to wipe it off. 'the shirt is probably from an extremely expensive brand, and you just ruined it y/n.' you think to yourself and continue to get the yellowness off his cloth. Jungkook looks at you, he sees the worry in your eyes but he doesn't mind it. he's got a lot of shirts, this isn't his only white. "I'm so sorry-'' "Hey, it's alright y/n. let me do it-" "No, I made this mess, I'm gonna clean it." you got a glass of water and a wet towel, to get it off faster.

The water had wet his chest and allowed it to be seen through now, his skin showing off the wet material. the colour just doesn't seem to go away! "remove your shirt-" "What??!!" "Remove it, it needs soap, its colour is just getting worse." "but-" "Fast! now!" he stood up and unbuttoned it, removing the shirt off,

he handed it over to you. you soon ran to the washroom to get it clean. while Jungkook stands in the living room, feeling cold as goosebumps rise, due to the cold temperature of the air conditioner.

Since it's weird to just stand here, he walks to your bedroom, the only bedroom here anyway. you've created a little place for yourself, the number of plushies sitting on the bed with fairy lights surrounding the wall with fake leaves. Your bedside table had books and your pills on it and the little mirror was decorated with stickers and lipstick kisses which were probably yours.

He poked his head inside the washroom, and he saw you scrubbing the area that was stained. "it's gone, I'm just gonna let this dry now." He nods and waits till you walk out of the washroom, he feels uncomfortable to be shirtless here.

He stands by the window that faces the quiet streets and watches outside. you close the washroom door and notice him here, his back is bare, and so are his tattoos. you remember them vividly, how you traced them while looking into his eyes. god, those tattoos were a masterpiece decorating his arm. you didn't even realise him turning around to face you because all you were observing were his inked arm that looked more visible when it was facing you.

"Like what you see?"

today was me and @etherealspacejelly 's one year anniversary !!!!!

i got up feeling very excited about the day. i ate a bagel and an apple for breakfast and then got dressed and ready to go out. i met robin at the park to feed our pigeons, for the first Pigeon Wednesday that was actually on a wednesday in a long time !!

as i was walking to the park somebody said "excuse me sir" to me !! i was in a rush so i didn't have time to stop or say anything, but it made me so happy that i was smiling and happy stimming the rest of the way. this is the second time this has happened now :D

we exchanged anniversary presents, which was very fun. i think gift giving is my favourite way to show my love for people.

robin gave me a scrapbook full of memories collected over the past year, which he had kept a secret from me all this time, so it was a really unexpected surprise !!!! i did not know every letter, poem, flower, card, gift wrap, etc was being treasured in this way. it made me cry a little bit ;–;

we fed our flock and they were very happy to see us, then we tried to take some pictures which turned out very silly and goofy (in a good way)

we went home to eat buttered crumpets and then i read through the scrapbook while robin had a doctors appointment. my old letters were so cringe but also kind of cute. it was funny how half of robin's notes had my chosen name rewritten over my old name. it reminded me how much i have grown in just one year.

i took a walk through the park because the sun was shining, although it was very cold. i went back to my student accommodation to do laundry but all the washing machines were full. i was very hungry again so i had some cookies and (soya) milk and a banana. i have such a huge appetite these past few days !

i had a meeting with my peer support worker from the gender clinic which was very helpful. then i went back to the laundry room and managed to actually wash my clothes this time.

next i had an appointment with my adhd psychiatrist who agreed that it was a good idea for me to stop taking meds if they were making me feel really unwell. he said he will prescribe me a much lower dose and see if that's any better, but he said that even if i feel sick on the first day i should stop taking them straight away.

after that i started adding my own things to the scrapbook. i got really engrossed into that for many hours and i entirely forgot about my laundry and dinner and showering etc.

at last i realised i was extremely hungry and it was very late so i made myself a big meal (two sandwiches with vegetarian nuggets and lots of vegetables and some fries). i got my laundry and hung half of it up to dry in my room while the rest had to go in the dryer because i hadn't done laundry for a whole month so there was way too much.

i went on instagram and posted some of the pictures we took today. robin called me "the creature who lives in my walls" (this is a very accurate description of me) and that made me laugh and happy stim a lot !

i finally took a shower around midnight, which was overwhelming as usual. i was going to pick up my clothes from the dryer afterwards, but i felt too overstimulated and didn't want to leave my room, so i just went to bed.

it was a very good day and i'm exceptionally happy !!! i hope i can keep adding more and more good things to the scrapbook this year :)

Hakuri's Layers

Hi internet void... maybe someone out there can commiserate with me on something incredibly stupid? You see, my brain keeps pleasantly short-circuiting when I try to understand Hakuri's design. It's so boyish and adorable. Cute, CUTE, CUTE! But the actual clothes just kind of... don't make sense? (To this fashion-challenged trans guy anyway.)

So hey, the layers. Why so many?

Spoiler: the answer is "trauma".

My son's got a lot going on despite the plain black-white-black layering. On top looks like it might be a haori of some kind that gets tucked in to the waist? It's hard to tell in most shots due to the inking but it's definitely inspired by traditional Japanese clothing in the way it folds over at the middle of the torso. Underneath is a Western-style collared shirt that buttons close at the wrists and fits loosely elsewhere, likely due to being oversized. Then he's got a black turtleneck underneath it all, presumably short-sleeved but it could easily be another long-sleeved layer with how loose the other two are. The top two layers seem very baggy and oversized, while the bottom one could be a normal fit.

It's very different from how his father, siblings, and the estate staff dress. Kyoura wears a Western three-piece suit and tie at all times. The Tou uniform has a tunic on top of a dress shirt featuring open sleeves, bandages/braces on the arms, and a different collar style. Same with the regular Sazanami uniform, the most noticeable difference being the short sleeves. The children and non-combat staff have only been shown in regular kimonos/servant uniforms (except for the one group flashback to Granpa Sazanami's funeral, where all ages wore suits and ties). Mr. Proceeder, estate staff, and kids:

The Tou:

Sazanami Mooks:

Child Hakuri & Tenri feat. Low-Res Background Abuser:

Interestingly, there's a shot of kid Tenri wearing a black turtleneck under a white kimono so I wonder if there are different types of dress for a specific age group/level of training? Hakuri had the same clothing as him during the flashback's time period, so that's what I'm going to assume.

Also, at the start of the Ice Lady chapter Hakuri, is wearing the black haori and a short-sleeved white shirt underneath, no long-sleeved dress shirt or turtleneck in sight. It takes place in August and he wasn't expecting the chill at first, so this makes sense.

This was consistent for the first four pages of the chapter before abruptly shifting to something closer to his usual getup on the fifth page, showing us that at least a day had passed between scenes. He adds the turtleneck in but actually seems to have two different variations to show the passing of time through the chapter. (Note the white shirt...)

I'm gonna hit the image cap at this rate so please believe me that he alternates between these two styles throughout.

So here is the origin of his layered appearance: Hakuri was dressing against Ice Lady's chilly aura that overpowered the summer heat. This leaves me with a continuity question...

Final Meal:

Present Day:

The white dress shirt is slightly different from the one we meet him in so I wonder what happened when Hakuri was tossed out of the estate. In the panel above, it's identical to the ones his siblings in the Tou and Sazanami defense force wear, just rumpled and unbuttoned at the collar. But he's clearly wearing a different style while Current Events are going down. Did he have to return Sazanami uniform pieces before being escorted out? Did he just grab what was at hand before fleeing? Did the process take a few days, so he just left with what he was wearing at the time? Inquiring minds want to know!

It's also interesting to note that the loose suspender straps hanging from his waist aren't present in the Ice Lady flashback sequence.

Same chapter (35) - flashback vs. present. Fun fact: Soya deserves to be fucked with rusty screwdrivers. Since that's part of his design when we first meet him in Ch. 19, and they're consistently present outside of the flashback scenes, Hakuri definitely changed his outfit a bit between receiving a latent trauma buff and meeting Chihiro. I wonder if we'll ever get an explanation... It's probably not a detail that will ever be explained but I have to know about the straps. I love them. They make no functional sense and clearly weren't something included as a permanent part of his design like the hair tie pattern, short boots, haori, and baggy cropped khakis were. Is it his own fashion sense? Something his samurai can use to position him at will? Just added by Hokazono-sensei for aesthetic reasons? I choose option 2 until it's disproven. But yeah, after going through all of this panel by panel, I'm really curious about the time Hakuri spent drifting before he fell in with Team Goldfish. I'm fuzzy on the timeline but basically, he met the Ice Lady in August, spent three weeks with her, was kicked out, then found Chihiro about a week before the Rakuzaichi was held on November 3rd. How long was he on his own for, and where was he staying? He was always nearby if Chihiro needed him, but what about when they were done planning for the day? We didn't see him sleeping at the cafe, Hinao's place, Chihiro's apartment, an alley, a park bench- anywhere. I'm so, so curious about that little part of his life but it's not likely to be explored... I think if it's brought up at all, it'll be as a reason for Chihiro to add him to the goldfish bowl with Char. I'll just have to live with making my own headcanon about it I guess.

Anyway. Most likely, Hakuri was designed to counter-balance Chihiro's straight and narrow look- slim and cool vs. loose and boyish. They're opposites that compliment and complete each other at pretty much every level. I really want a character bible just to see the designs in neutral poses side-by-side to go feral over...

I'll have to ramble about that another time though because I just found out that Tumblr has a 4,096 character limit per block, whatever that means! It won't let me post pictures any more so I guess that's it for now. If you made it through to the end, you're my samurai.

The Owl House Headcanon on Character's Favorite Japanese Dishes.

Luz Noceda: Okonomiyaki (Hiroshima-Style preferred). She likes it for it is a perfect comforting fusion between pancakes and takoyaki (which she had some bad memory from getting her tongue scrouged by it). Plus, she can choose a variety of fillings, which is great for her neurodivergent vibe (while also easily getting bored).

Amity Blight: Zaru Soba. She'd likely go for a dish that is simple yet defines Japanese elements. She would enjoy it with chunky chopped spring onion, wasabi-infused dipping, and hot tea on a side. After a few years of trying more Japanese dishes, she also got into shio udon and yakisoba. (and yakisoba-based okonomiyaki with her sweetheart)

Willow Park: Kimchi Nabe; full of vegetables, proteins from meat, eggs, mushrooms, tofu, and gochujang-rich kimchi (Giving spiciness and Korean-ness that Willow never realized she needed). She loves her nabe with varieties and large quantities of proteins. Especially chicken-based meatballs (like in sumo wrestler Chanko Nabe), chicken breasts, lean slices of beef, and white tofu. Plus, extra spicy.

Gus Porter: Omurice with ketchup fried rice underneath a blanket of thin and creamy omelet. He prefers creamy demiglace sauce with mushroom and beef stock base, alongside ketchup and a dash of Kewpie mayo. Maybe steamed bacon with low-sodium, crabstick, or fish sausage for the side protein. Plus, he loves Sanrio and doesn't care about locals' eyes upon him enjoying his two plates of My Melody Omurice.(It's kids' size, so two is it).

Hunter Noceda/Park/Daemonne: Kushiyaki, especially those from old-school Yatai stalls. However, he would avoid poultry-based ones (especially the wings, as tributes to his lifesaver, Flapjack) and alcoholic drinks. He usually goes with beef and vegetables on the same stick. His favorite side drink is Ramune or Calpis yogurt drink. He usually has a few pods of salted edamame first, if offered.

Vee Noceda: Shojin Ryori meal from local Zen Buddhist temples. Somehow, she can tastes 'magic' in food, and enjoy talking about spiritual and morality topics with Buddhist monks(and nuns). She usually not paying them by money but doing them some cleaning and arranging the sutra. She sometimes enjoy draining magic from Omamori (Green one is a yum!).

Edalyn Clawthrone: Tantanmen, extra broth, extra noodles, and a few extra pieces of boiled eggs. With rice on the side. After an extreme night (either work, or a party), she carves for carbs, proteins, and spices. Eventually, it becomes her usual comfort dish. Plus, it was worth her two meals and a pretty budget. If she feels extra fancy, maybe some extra meat as well.

Lilith Clawthrone: Kure's JMSDF (Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force)-style Curry Rice, with milk (low-fat, or soya milk) and salad with a light dressing. She prefers a vegetarian version and original taste that serves Japanese maritime forces. She eventually made her own thanks to befriending a friend who was a chef on a Japanese battleship in the Cold War.

King Clawthrone: Set of different sushi varieties. He is into nigiri and maki with a few simple ingredients. He is into a grilled saltwater eel, salted boiled ebi (or tempura-fried), churnchy cucumber, and tamago. Onigiri is also his go-to, but he is not into raw meat.
