I love that I can casually make chawanmushi in the instant pot like it’s NBD (really easy once you’ve done it a few times). It’s one of my favorite things to eat and I hate paying so much money for them at Japanese restaurants

geraineon,
@geraineon@sakurajima.social avatar

@skinnylatte I love justonecookbook~

And chawan mushi is great! (The good thing about making it is not being disappointed when U.S. JP restaurants don't have it... And the price, yes)

Out of curiosity I checked if there are official tl of my fav JP BL novels (based on their audio dramas) and while the answer is no, I did stumble upon this thread:

https://community.wanikani.com/t/flesh-blood-drama-cd-series-listening-club/59062

... Flesh & Blood for Japanese practice. 😂 (This is one of my favs. I own some of the bl audio dramas. It's also yes, probably the longest running bl audio drama series)

@geraineon@sakurajima.social avatar

Now I'm wondering if the series has even finished. Last I left off, Kaito (the MC) has gone back to the future (his own time) in order to cure his tuberculosis. Meanwhile, his ML is in trouble (I forgot why? I think suspected spy?) and was just saved from torture. And there was Christopher Marlowe doing... Something

@geraineon@sakurajima.social avatar

The last BL audio drama is Flesh & Blood 21:

I don't have that. I need to change that

Lol at the complaints that the sex scene is cut. Ah I guess if I want Suwabe Junichi x Fukuyama Jun sex scene, I'll listen to Seikanji-ke volume 3

In case anyone's interested, there's an article about MDZS in Strange Horizons:

(No, I haven't read it yet. I was looking for something else and found this, but given the popularity of MDZS, maybe other ppl will be interested, also this serves as a bookmark for myself)

If there's an actor I tend to check out dramas for just because he's there, it's Zhang Ruoyun

(But also this is because I really enjoyed JoL 1)

geraineon,
@geraineon@sakurajima.social avatar

The theme song for JoL 1 is beautiful and I listened to it on a loop forever when I watched it back... Years ago now:

due to a conversation about how none of mxtx's novels are actually a great place to start for a western fan with no familiarity with the genre, I'm now curious:

for those of you who have read more widely, what do you think would be the best wuxia or xianxia danmei for a western newbie reader, in terms of a cross section of plot comprehensibility / being engaging / english translation quality, etc?

geraineon,
@geraineon@sakurajima.social avatar

@soph_sol actually thinking about this a little more, it might help to watch at least one wuxia movie prior to reading because now the reader has visuals to go with it (might not help with some readers though)

So instead of a starter wuxia setting danmei, I'd say, watch something like Swordsman 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swordsman_II) or other wuxia movies.

geraineon,
@geraineon@sakurajima.social avatar

@soph_sol and that's for wuxia. For xianxia, I'd also recommend a gen movie, like Nezha or Jiang Ziya

Or maybe journey to the west to get a sense of things

... Too much het that I cannot believe. Argh

Friend's comment and I agree: "I cannot grasp Re-I. She makes no sense to me."

geraineon,
@geraineon@sakurajima.social avatar

Honestly dying here in pain. I cannot believe this "budding relationship" and I really don't like Re-I so that's double whammy of DNW in these few eps

(But I'm gonna take this as signs our Theories are correct)

i was annoyed that my application for my singapore passport had not been approved within 24 hours then it was done in 36. not terrible, i guess. :)

@geraineon@sakurajima.social avatar

@skinnylatte blew my mind when I first found out how long it can take for a U.S. passport to be done.

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io avatar

I’m interested in a lot of transit activism in N America but I swear people would think you’re a total weeb if you talk about transit in places with good transit. Trying to imagine talking to people in Singapore or Hong Kong or Seoul about.. loving trains

I think they would back tf away from me and run away.

Like my friend always says ‘I don’t want to be a transit fan. I just want great transit’

#Transit

@skinnylatte the way I understand a lot of U.S. things: it's a sports fanclub thing
