[smol-stardust]

hi its me once again asking if you know anything about japan?

also hiii sparkyyy hruu? its tuesday for some reason hope the month isnt treating you so badly

also why tf are the days capitalized?? lmao 😭😭 like the first word idk

Oooh! Kinda kinda from my time praticiens Chado and aikido and jap classes. Also between my obsession with Japanese snacks and foods, I’d say I know a bit hehe :)

So formality is important and there’s different ways of speaking between casual and formal and you’d usually use the formal conjugations and words when talking to elders. And there’s also passive form etc…. The language is quite complex and has many levels.

Respect ties into that like what way you speak would be influenced by respect and how old the person is.

Ig the distinctions btwn kimonos vs yukatas should be mentioned?

But Yukata translates to bath clothes so you can tell it’s more casual and it’s mostly worn in summer as it’s more breathable and kimonos are more formal and usually made of fancier materials like silk rather than cotton

Also bowing when you great people is a thing, and then in Chado during the tea ceremony there’s different way the tea hostess and the guests may bow to each other depending on stages of the ceremony and each bow has a different formality, its a whole thing but quite interesting :)

(also there’s two kinds of matcha: thick vs thin tea and the ceremonies and formality surrounding them is also different, like formality and respect is a big thing)

Beep, sorry for the ramble haha, but last note is food is so good, I love love love ramune, daifuku, chazuke and udon haha. Natto is a controversial one but personally I like it… it’s an acquired taste ig?

Haha, I hope your Tuesday is going well too!! Ilysm

No new chapter tonight, hopefully tomorrow. :D I've spent today sleeping which is not an ideal way to spend a Sunday but it is what it is. The chapter is in a decently-drafted state at the moment. We'll see if I get time tomorrow to work on it.

Can’t afford my gender affirming beers so I guess I have to start smoking the eight I bought like 6 months ago before I promptly stopped smoking

several days and 15 thousand words later, i am relieved to report that the suffocating urge to Write Something has been sated and no longer has me in a chokehold

Very much a vent post

Hey if my mom can learn the idea of “give me more than 3 hours of notice to something you’re forcing me to go to” please that’d be great

listen. I know my family is bad at communication and acknowledgement of receipt of Thing but when the one thing that consistently happens semi-annually is that I get fussed at for not confirming I received something, it irks me a smidge.

Like if I'm expected to always confirm "Hey I got your [communication/gift]" then why aren't they doing it back? Especially considering the communication in this instance has really actually very important information they will want to know if they want to stay in contact with me.

Like????

Even if I'd just gotten a "K" in response, like. at least it would have let me know they got the damn thing. I sent this email TWO WEEKS AGO and only one person responded - and it was practically immediate too. Like... i know folks are busy, i know shit's going on. I get it. But it would help me feel so much less like I'm suddenly a pariah in the family out of nowhere if like one of the people I'd sent this to had just responded in some way shape or form.

I'd have answered a phone call - i wouldn't have liked it, but i'd have done it. A letter in the mail to my current address even. a message in a bottle probably wouldn't get to me because i'm pretty far from the beaches of the great lakes, and also they're even farther, but like. something right?

my sister at least confirmed she got it and just forgot to respond. i imagine that's what happened with everyone else because we have the same mental illnesses and look. i do it too. but also? also?? i was hounded to respond quickly to things, i was told off every time i wasn't responding within a half hour of any communication. I was asked instantly the next time they saw me if I'd gotten it, even if i hadn't had a chance to see the thing yet.

So forgive me, family, if I'm a little peeved off that all y'all are allowed to "forget to respond" for two whole fucking weeks and then a few extra days (because it's been 2 weeks, 3 days exactly) when i can't let something sit in the mailbox for 2 days because i couldn't get to my mailbox easily while living on my own without getting a phone call or text or email that there should be something waiting in there for me.

*enraged screeching*
