TS3 - Chinese Cuisine 【中國美食】12 Custom content 

D E C O R A T I O N   

Don’t believe portrayal of Chinese food in Shang Simla world because Shang Simla is American Chinatown from Western perspective which the food portrayal in that World is Westernized Chinese, not authentic, wrong to us Chinese and general Asian Sims players. There is no such thing as Fortune Cookies in Chinese cuisine. Fortune cookies are American product 100%. 

Chinese cuisine is the most oldest and diverse cuisine in the world, including noodles, which was first recorded invented in China from 4,000 years ago, has been existed until modern times.  

There are so many dishes in China, because due to many regions and provinces, I cannot include all of them here. I released list of my favourite dishes, which are prominent to Southern China region. Yanwo tang (Swallow bird’s nest soup) is the most expensive one because it provides health benefits: high levels of calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium.

looming threats

i know that it's just a cool aesthetic choice and not much thought usually goes into it beyond that, but from a biological perspective giving a character heterochromia to show that they have 2 significantly different parents (eg: human/demon, nature goddess/death god, divorced) has fascinating implications for their visual abilities

A nasty shot splattered into molten shot against the plascrete wall, spraying the lieutenant's back armor. She didn't flinch. Most of her squad was not human, various sentients from across the Union. And few had encountered the self-propelled slugs of the urPoyn before today. Well, trial by fire and all that, she thought to herself.

Despite their understandable fear, the squad was returning fire admirably. Human-designed fletchers were sliding through the urPoyn's armor like needles through fabric. Human designed armor held against urPoyn rounds. Human spite kept the Union in the war. And on this terraformed world, aptly also named Spite, the Union had chosen to hold. Mostly because the majority human settlers had refused evac, and the Union couldn't stomach leaving them to feed urPoyn brood pits.

The Union had been losing spite until the ceasefire went badly. When that went bloodily south, the Union opened up with a surprise push of unsustainable violence, taking the war-drenched urPoyn by surprise. Unfortunately, the enemy had no word for "retreat" so the fight had become a madhouse of slaughter. Many of the Union soldiers found the violence horrifying, but their human companions took it in stride.

Ginzu, Lieutenant Grant's Luharri friend, once expressed horror at how easily humans seemed to kill. Grant, for her part, had shrugged and explained compartmentalization to Ginzu, who felt great horror at the sort of trauma humans simply hid within themselves. The Luharri expressed emotion in colorful blossoming patterns on their skin, so such a repression seemed incredibly unhealthy to them.

Grant had, at the time, just laughed and agreed.

Now, she wasn't laughing. Three of her squad were dead, all human, all having taken too much risk to get the Damned urPoyn off this settler rock. She was certainly not laughing. She was pissed.

"Suppress that roof top!" she shouted at Jark'uthen. The Heuthenian nodded and sprayed the building top with fletchers, ripping apart several urPoyn in the process. "Push out, take that hospital!"

The squad jumped from cover, firing at anything that moved, rushing across the small plaza towards the wreck that had been a place of healing. Intel suggested the urPoyn had taken it before it had been fully evacuated. Brass knew the answer, but needed to see if there were any survivors, regardless. The 407th was tapped to go in.

Bessy, their friendly, huge, and remarkably careful Lamian, emptied a magazine into the entrance while running, bursting through the shattered door a moment later as she reloaded, weapon sweeping the room. The rest of the squad tumbled in, urPoyn rounds spraying the ground and walls behind them as they pushed deeper into the facility to search and find cover.

Each checked corner was worse than the last. Patients and stubborn medical person were fragmentary strewn about the floors. urPoyn "victory rituals" involved ripping the living to pieces.

This was why much of the Union wanted to retreat and as much a reason the humans refused to.

The third floor was a charnal house. The urPoyn were carnivores that did not care about sentience. Several of the squad reacted with horror. Lieutenant Grant simply frown, her face grim. She'd seen this many times, in her nightmares as well.

On the fourth floor they encountered resistance. The urPoyn fired their heavy slugs but the human-made armor held and flechettes tore the enemy apart. They cleared each corner aggressively, letting the gorilla suits soak the damage as they pierced through team after team of urPoyn.

As they pushed into another wing, fire erupted on both sides. But Bessy ducked back behind cover and slid to Grant, her face filled with shock. "Screaming! Human screaming! Several people!"

Grant registered the shock she felt but pushed it aside. "Squad! Cease fire!" The stuttering belches of urPoyn weapons continued, along the the small explosions of what little cover they had, but the fletchette rifles stopped whining. "We have survivors, no location, but close. No ranged weapons. We give them hell face-to-face."

Several soldiers blanched, but all drew their combat knives. If this wasn't the bloodiest they got, it'd be a miracle.

"On two. One... Two!" The soldiers flooded around their cover and into the voracious hail of urPoyn bullets. Armor did its job mostly and only Andy fell before reaching the enemy. Grant hoped he was still alive but pushed forward without stopping to look. They smashed into the urPoyn and knives went to work against claws. The urPoyn did not carry melee weapons, choosing to rely on strength and natural lethal claws instead.

The fight was fast, but awful. Milua was killed quickly, her six limbs bent at horrific angles. Jark'uthen's armor had reached its limit and an urPoyn tore a hole in it before tearing a hole in his chest. But, all in all, nine of them were still standing. Grant didn't have time to mourn. She ran towards Andy and dropped into a power slide, stopping beside his crumpled body. The front of his helmet was a smoldering mess. She risked it and rolled him to his back, releasing the faceplate. Under the shattered technology, Andy let out a groan.

Grant exhaled in relief. At least he survived it. She pressed the diagnostic button on his chest. Broken ribs, minor internal bleeding, severe concussion. He'd live.

"Kiepara, call in medical evac."

"Hello? Union? Union?!" The sound of muffled yelling followed by human cheers erupted from a patient room. Crashing and rattling followed as Grant called back, running to the door.

"Union! Yes! How many of you are there?"

"Eight of us! We barricaded the door, they've been trying to break in for days!"

Grant pulled her sidearm, suspicion crossing her face. "Days? The urPoyn have held this block for a week." The other soldiers instinctively drew their pistols too, on her example.

The unknown voice, however, continued sincerely. "We'd been hiding in the chemo vault but came up for food. It's just us and the twenty patients we had down there now."

Twenty? Hell, thought Grant. They might have starved by now. The door swung open and the soldiers covered the opening with their barrels. The urPoyn were not deceptive, but the humans had taught the Union not to take chances.

"Whoa whoa! Friendly and unarmed!" The doctor looked ragged as anything, and Grant motioned for her squad to lower their weapons.

"Glad you held out. Let's go get your patients."

The medical personnel filed in behind the troops, two and two troops staying behind to watch over Andy. The patients were somehow still alive and overjoyed to see other Union people. Food was passed around, what the medical team had scavenged and what the soldiers had in rations.

Evac arrived hot with four para teams and heavy air cover. The civilians screamed as they ran, explosions and bullets ripping apart the air around them. But, by some grace of fate, they all made it out.

That night, Grant and Ginzu sat, sharing a drink. Ginzu had gotten the gist of the story from her and was mostly silent.

Grant let out a sigh and smiled as she started crying. Ginzu looked at her in surprise and compassion. "Grant, my friend, what is wrong?"

Grant looked up, her smile worn and weary. "Today... Was a lot."

Oh how I adore you..

Warning: mild cursing, violence, closeted lesbian, homophobia and just bad Grammer, me giving treech a last name, I was tired whilst writing this, so yes spelling mistakes aswell

Summery: A drabble about a relationship with Lamina from a fic I'm working on and how it would kinda work, sadly it's one sided love lamina is inlove with you whilst your inlove with treech

Pairings: Lamina x reader (one sided)

Lamina had known you for most of her life as you two went to school together before you had been pulled out early as your father needed help with his shop

Lamina ended up just walking to your shop straight after school so that she could hang out with you again on your breaks and when it was a particularly slow day

When it came to lamina, you learned quickly that she was a rather affectionate person and would randomly grab your hand or interlock your pinkies together or just her randomly wrapping her arms around your shoulders

It would catch you off guard at first but soon you started to do the same back not as much but stuff like holding her arm as you two walked down the cobblstone path from your house, or resting your head on her shoulder things like that

You never noticed how her face would heat up or how she would stare at you after interlocking your elbow with hers when you're walking. You make it hard for Lamina not to stare sometimes..

You and Lamina were walking back from your house as you insisted that you walked her home, walking down your cobblestone pathway from your house.

You interlocked your elbow with laminas swinging your now interlocked elbows up and down as you stared at a sparrow that you swore was staring straight at lamina, too caught up on staring at the weird sparrow you failed to notice how laminas face flushed at the contact of your bare arm against hers and how you seemed to lean yourself against her..

You both would so braid each others hair if your hair is long enough to be braided. If not, then you would just braid laminas hair into two or more braids

Lamina Braiding your hair

You where sat criss cross on laminas bed your back turned to the other girl as an hour ago lamina had asked you if she could braid your hair and of course you agreed i mean who could say no to lamina?

so here you where back turned to lamina as she braided your hair listening to you rant about your day or really anything you wanted to say or that was on your mind she just enjoyed listening to you talk.

Her hands in your hair as you just talked on and on, he birds chirpping outside lamina's window, the sound of just your twos breathing, lamina wished everyday could be like this just the two of you in her room as she braided your hair honestly even if you didn't return her feelings all she wanted to do was be by your side.

And if that meant that she was nothing but yourr best friend than that was enough for the girl as long as she was with you than she was alright with anything.

You braiding laminas hair

You giddily braided laminas hair as you showered her in compliments about how beautiful her hair was as you braided laminas hair into two braids.

Lamina was a mess, she was beat red as you braided her hair thanking you for complimenting her and as usual you said it was no problem, smiling at lamina as you tightened the braid apologizing if you had hurt her though your words fell on deaf ears as lamina wasn't listening at all she was too flustered in that moment to even think.

You were the bane of lamians' existence and the light of her life at the same time.

Laminas mood would dampen when she'd notice how you'd recently started staring at a boy that she'd talk to every now and then treech Miller lamina believed was his name

Lamina knew the boy as he came into your father's shop quite often. He was a part-time lumberjack, as was lamina, though, unlike Lamina, treech was in the circus as was his family they ran the circus in town and man was it popular

To laminas misfortune you had been a big fan of it and always tried to make small talk with the boy who was around yours and laminas age maybe a year older than you two

Lamina tried not to think about it as she was just happy you where at least trying to make a new friend even if it was a boy.. anyways

Lamina and you made a promise a few years back when you two first became friends, that if one of you did get picked in the reaping which it wasn't likely that out of hundreds of girls one of you got picked in the hunger games

HAH, as if but you two still swore that the other would volunteer as tribute and take their place though you heavily doubted that you'd need to

Not knowing that maybe you'd be the one to follow the promise through..

I adore lamina, but I adore doomed yuri more..

Mine and other ASMR creators work is being stolen and put on Spotify as 'podcasts' without our consent!

There is a 'podcast' (actually, 'podcasts' plural but we'll get there) on Spotify called "Boyfriend audios and more!! by a user called Imagine. They admit the content they are posting is not made by them, but that does not matter. Reposting is not okay, even if you credit the creator, unless you have creator's consent. It's still stealing even though they gave credit to the creators, we did not give permission for our work to be put on Spotify. But this person did not ask anyone for permission before doing this. And as it's on Spotify it's likely it is monetized (I'm not sure if it's possible to have un-monetized content on Spotify) meaning this person is possibly making money off reposting our work. Even if they are not making money this is still not okay and it's still stealing our work. There are so many creators who's work has been stolen from larger accounts with hundreds of thousands of subscribers to accounts that have a couple hundred subscribers. The 'podcast' started posting on April 7th 2023 and updated as recently as yesterday (October 24th 2023). Plenty of creators offer downloads of their work on Patreon, or you could get Youtube Premium if you want to listen to them offline, you don't need to go to unauthorised Spotify reposts. And plenty of audio creators upload their work to Spotify themselves anyway! I've seen people's work reposted on Spotify that already uploaded the work to Spotify themselves anyway. The 'podcast' currently has 378 ratings (people who have decided to rate it out of 5 stars) so people know it's there and are listening to it.

[ID: My uploads of my 'visiting king' royalty roleplay series of audios on Youtube that I created, improvised, voice acted, recorded, and posted to my own Youtube channel dervampireprince.]

[ID: Reposts of my audios on Spotify that I did not give permission to be put on Spotify.]

I want to credit and thank Vincent VNNZ Vogel for finding this playlist and making me aware of it. Please go and share his tweet, and any other creator's quote-retweets of this situation. Please tag or make other creators you know or follow aware of this situation so we can hopefully either all report this or at least make people aware that this isn't okay. I found a report form on Spotify but I'm scared to fill it out as it talks about consulting with an attorney.

This is a list (as of today's date) of all the creators who's work has been stolen and put on this 'podcast'. Please go and support them on their own Youtube channels and do not listen to them on Spotify (or any other platform) unless they have uploaded the work there themselves: Sundew Audios, Joemama ASMR, sleepingzzz, A Warm Coffee Mug, cubby wubby, SunnyAudios, untitled whispers, Ubel Loss Ch, Redacted Audio, Girl in Dungarees, Mystric Mommy, Styxasmr, Eggsmr, Yuurivoice, Moonlight Haven, Nora ASMR, Ice cold audios, Goodboyaudios, Prince Kairo, Seth VA, LineChu ASMR, Icey ASMR, Wolf Audios, ShayBay, TeaDrop_Writes, Isagani VA, CardlinAudio, Phasmid ASMR, AzeruOfficial, JustBLASMR, SuruASMR, Asmodeus Audios, Man of Culture ASMR, TheSHyOne VA, Dream Boyfriend, OLIV3R ASMR, Akolmfi, YourgirlfriendASMR, ZSakuVA, DÆva Celestial, Moonlight Audio, Mallum Audio, Afterglow ASMR, Miss Cherri VA, izumi audio, Lilac ASMR, Mykie's voice, Vincent VNNZ Vogel, Jae ASMR, Poptart, HyperHedgehog, Sooshy VA, Ramble King ASMR, WhispurrAudio, Lamian Audio, Garr's Enclave, Dark and Twisted Whisper, GigixHunter, Cloudy Girl ASMR, Nept Audios, dervampireprince, adingGENESIS, Pie Crust Audios, Reality Dreams Audio, Green Leaf Audios ASMR. I haven't tagged them all here because I don't want to come across as spamming them, especially if they've already been tagged on Twitter, and it probably sounds stupid but most of them are bigger creators than me and I don't want to bother them. I also think Youtube might not like it if I tag a block of loads of different accounts all at once, I think that'll make Youtube think I'm a spam bot. But please do go and check out their channels by searching for them!

I feel sick. I'm shaking. I've had my art, as in artwork I draw and sell on Etsy, stolen any times and this year has been the worst. For those not following me elsewhere my Baldur's Gate 3 fanart got stolen and is being resold on t-shirts on Etsy, AliExpress, RedBubble and maybe more platforms. I taken one down and four more pop up. And that's far from the first time my drawings have been stolen. But I never expected my audios to get stolen like this. I have notices everywhere that I do not allow reposting, reuploading, or editing of my content. Though someone shouldn't need to have those things written down, it's common sense and basic human decency to not steal and repost other people's creations without their consent, whether you are monetising it or not.

I don't know what steps to take here. I hope Spotify takes this stuff down if enough of us report it. But the only people who can report it are the creators themselves. I don't have many connections or reach within the ASMR/VA community, but I hope other creators see this post, or other's posts about this situation, and are able to report and take down this content off Spotify.

As I'm writing this I decided to open the playlist up on the mobile app for Spotify where there is a 'more like this' tab. And sure enough. This is not the only person doing this. There are multiple 'podcasts' that are just full of stolen content. I'm sure this isn't all of them but these are the ones I have found. I have no idea how to tackle this. None of this is okay. There's more than just the ones in the screenshots here. There's one's that give no credit and just say 'I didn't make any of this' 'credit to creator' without naming the creator, straight up N-SFW content which is against Spotify's rules. And some of them in their about sections are complaining about getting copyright reports against them, thinking it's funny, saying their last podcast got taken down but they're just made this new one. All the content they are reposting is already online for people to listen too, some of it already on Spotify.

There's no excuse for reposting and not crediting someone (unless maybe they're doing it so the creator can't find and report them), and even with credit it's not okay. Message the creator first, ask them if they are okay with reposting. "But what if they say no?" then you don't do it. The same applies to any content whether it's ASMR or whether it's someone's fanart drawing. It hurts, it feels uncomfortable, it's crossing boundaries to take people's content that doesn't belong to you and repost, especially if you are monetizing and making money off it. I don't know how anyone can call themself a fan of a creator, how anyone can be a fan of a creator's work, and then do this. I'm scared to report for copyright. Multiple owners of these 'podcasts' have made it clear when they're reposts can taken down, they just reupload them again, that when their accounts get taken down they just make new ones and go straight back to reposting content. So reporting might not do anything. Even if anything is taken down, it will probably get reuploaded again and I don't want to be checking and reporting every day of my life. So then all I can do is raise awareness, tell people not to listen to these podcasts, make the creators of these podcasts know we are not comfortable with this and maybe that will make some of them stop doing this, maybe even make Spotify aware.

If you really like us or the content we make then be respectful of us and our boundaries.

This is Vincent's initial tweet about the situation, please help spread it and make other creators and viewers aware.

Please do not send any hate towards anyone who is making these playlist. I will not link to them on purpose. I do not want them being harassed or sent messages, and I do not want people going and listening to them.

I haven't proof read this so sorry if there are any mistakes. I am not well physical health wise at the moment and have been very stressed out this week due to a number of things that have happened and this is really the last thing I needed. I don't have the mental capacity to read back through this before I post it. I hope it's understandable.

Good day, it's me again!

Got some questions for your Astralverse universe.

I tried scouring your blog for astralverse-tagged posts but didn't find sufficient answers so I figured I should present these questions.

It's mentioned in the doc that FTL travel is commonplace but FTL comms is only in experimental stage, by the looks of it. Which is weird in my mind because I thought it should be easier to solve FTL comms first. What's the in-universe lore/explanation for this?

Still on the topic of FTL technology, who's the primary user? Everyone in the Confed, just the founders, a handful of trusted races? And who was the first to kickstart the development for FTL? Is it before or after the Confed was formed?

How is currency handled between races? Is there a unified currency that everyone uses (a la present day European Union with EUR), or is currency exchange/conversion still required?

The flag for The Plex appears to be a flat grey rectangle. I thought it was a bug on my end but it's also displayed like that on desktop. Is that actually what their flag looks like? Or just a placeholder for now maybe?

This one isn't really a question but the Lamian Assembly is described as "society of semi-humanoid serpents" which I glossed over at first, but then clicked with something that I know of: the Lamia people in Elder Scrolls, who also resemble humanoid serpents. I don't know if that's where you took the name from or simply a mere coincidence, but I felt I wanted to bring that up.

Heya! Always happy to answer questions!

1. The specific method of FTL travel in the setting requires some manner of actual mass to work - sending information which has no mass was long thought impractically difficult. The Va'ruun's creators could do it, and consulting with the few of them that are left is how the experimental systems have come to be.

But until recently the method of "FTL" communication was just loading up a communication nano-satellite with messages, having it be carried by an FTL capable vessel into orbit of a given planet, and released, whereupon it transmits it messages to the surface. Not quite instantaneous communication, but decent enough. And importantly, it's fairly cost effective.

2. Everyone in the Confederation has FTL technology. FTL travel (like a lot of the more advanced technology in the setting, was originally a product of the same race that also created the Va'ruun.

The Va'ruun, after inheriting the creators' empire, and being a generous people, gave FTL to any species they befriended - which, when you are the Va'ruun, is extremely easy - any civilization is very likely to respond positively to them for any number of reasons.

3. There is indeed a common currency - the Confederation Unified Exchange note - the CUEnote. It exists both as physical currency (largely for governments, banking, and the like) and digital currency (for most average civilians). They are backed by the Confederation Central Reverse Bank, and derive value from both the largest reverse of physical precious metals in the known galaxy, and a significant reverse of physical member state currency.

Physical CUEnote designs are flat, plasticised sheets roughly 150 x 60 mm in size (roughly equivalent to a modern day US dollar). They exist in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, and 10000 note varieties - though only notes up to 500 are in widespread circulation.

Regardless, individual member state currencies still exist, and are fully legal tender - conversion rates are calculated by the CCRB and change on a yearly basis. Currencies used by sub-states of member states are also accepted, especially when a member state is not an entirely unified government (to quote a famous Confederation economist: "The oft-cited 'most member states have 4.5 currencies' factoid is actually statistical error. Most member states have a single currency. The Terran Alliance, who lives in the Sol system and has over 180 currencies on one planet, is an outlier and should not have been counted. Please stop counting them, they're giving me nightmares.")

4. That is, in fact, their official flag! The Plex government insists, and has always maintained, that there is a "very beautiful design" adorning it.

Most people are convinced this is the Plex playing a species wide joke.

5. I took the name from more mythological sources there, but so did Elder Scrolls, so convergent evolution.

Ironically enough, the Lamia would actually be better described as "nagas", at least in a modern (furry) sense of the term.

They are, after all, essentially just the Vipers from XCOM:
