#White salt

[myclericalromance]

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

White Day

In those countries where Valentine’s Day is observed by women giving gifts of chocolate to those they love, White Day is the day they get the return on that investment.

Throughout the world, Valentine’s Day is practiced in largely similar ways, with the giving of gifts of chocolate to those whose respect, admiration, or love we desire. In some countries, it is tradition that only women give gifts on this day, in part due to the existence of White Day. White Day is when women are the recipients, with the expectation being that the gift bestowed upon the woman is thrice the value of that she gave to the man.

Learn about White Day

White Day is celebrated a month after Valentine’s Day. The date is for people to reciprocate the gifts that they received on Valentine’s Day. Traditionally, White Day is for women to receive gifts. However, you don’t have to be female to reciprocate the love that someone showed you on the 14th of February. It is also a perfect back-up for anyone who received a gift on Valentine’s Day that they weren’t expecting and so did not purchase anything for the other person. You can simply claim that you were saving it for White Day – problem solved!

As we will reveal in further detail, we have Japan to thank for this day. However, it is a day that is celebrated in a number of other countries as well. For example, in Korea, this day is honored, with boyfriends giving their partner a White Day gift. Traditionally, this gift was marshmallows. Random, but who doesn’t love some marshmallows? Today, though, Korean boyfriends have gotten more adventurous with their gifts, with everything from beautiful bouquets of flowers to delicious fragrances being gifted to the women in their lives.

History of White Day

In 1978 the Japanese National Confection Industry Association helped to promote the idea of an “answer day” for Valentine’s Day. In Japan, it was tradition that only women would give gifts of chocolate on Valentine’s Day, and so they decided that there needed to be a day where men showed their appreciation by returning it. This appreciation is shown by the gifting of flowers, white chocolate, lingerie, jewelry, and other gifts to those women who they received gifts from a month earlier.

Unlike the American manifestation of Valentine’s Day, gifts of chocolate are often given as ‘giri chocho’, or a gift that is a social obligation rather than an expression of romantic love. While this still leaves the man obligated to give a gift in return, the nature of the gift is clearly determined by this nicety. If you’ve ever wondered how Valentine’s Day and the related holidays are celebrated in other countries, White Day is your opportunity to find out!

How to celebrate White Day

Well, the foundation of celebrating White Day may not be present in your country, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t celebrate it regardless. If you’ve received a gift from someone on Valentine’s Day then you can return that favor on White Day by presenting them with a gift of your affection or respect. You can also research the details of this tradition to help familiarize yourself with it and raise awareness of it in your own community. It’s important to realize that this isn’t just a Japanese tradition, but is also a thing practiced in South Korea, Vietnam, and China. Take White Day to study the nuances of this holiday and tell people all about it so that everyone can learn more about other cultures.

White Day can also be used as an opportunity to confess your love to someone. If you have had a crush on someone for quite some time now and you have not been able to build up the nerve to tell them, you can use White Day to do exactly that. Purchase that special someone a small gift and confess your feelings. What have you got to lose? It’s always better to take the risk, even if it does not work out how you want it to! After all, if you don’t take the risk, how will you ever know?

You can also spend this date learning a bit more about Japanese culture and tradition. Why not learn some romantic phrases in Japanese so that you can impress your partner on this day? The only place to start is by learning how to say I love you. This is Aishiteru or 愛してる。, and it is only suitable when saying you love someone in a romantic way. It is not a phrase that people use when saying they love a friend or a family member, and that is why it is the perfect phrase to learn for White Day. There are some other great phrases that you can say as well. This includes:

I want to kiss you./Let’s kiss.

Kiss Shitai/Kiss Shiyou. キスしたい/キスしよう

I feel safe when I’m with you.

Issho ni Iru to Hotto suru/Anshin Suru. 一緒にいるとほっとする/安心する

Let’s go on a date!/Let’s hang out!

De-to ni Ikou!/Asobi ni Ikou! デートに行こう！/遊びに行こう！

No matter how you decide to spend White Day, make sure that it is a day that is filled with love! If you don’t have that special someone in your life right now, curl up on the sofa, treat yourself to a good meal, and watch a rom-com! Or, why not buy a gift for yourself? We all deserve a treat from time-to-time!

An example of diffusion is shown in figure 6.12, in which concentrated aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid, HCl, and ammonia, NH3, are placed at opposite ends of a glass tube. (...) The lighter NH3 molecules diffuse more rapidly than the heavier HCl molecules, so the white band of salt forms closer to the HCl end of the tube, as can be seen in figure 6.12.

This is what i thought of the beast ability after burning spice going to be the next playable beast

[yanderecookierunkingdom]

Imagine the reader getting sick and trying to at least get some rest

In comes their beasts(or ancients) being overbearing as always

Burning Spice Cookie probably keeps you close during these times, reasoning that maybe his heat will help you feel better soon? It's got to be explained to him by Mystic Flour Cookie, and by that point you're just stuck with him.

Mystic Flour Cookie dotes on you. She refuses to let you up and out until you're better. Do not protest, she'll just dump more blankets onto you.

Silent Salt Cookie is more protective of you. He stands guard, refuses to let you get up, and he makes sure you have whatever you need.

You're dumped in what's basically a nest of pillows and blankets in with Shadow Milk Cookie and Eternal Sugar Cookie. Neither of them let you up. You are forced to stay there.

Pure Vanilla Cookie probably takes care of you traditionally during this time, unless you speficially ask for him to heal you. He can't help but be very doting.

SICK?? SICK?? Golden Cheese Cookie is harping over you, and you're attended to by the best doctors.

The same goes for Dark Cacao Cookie. However, there is a slight threat that if you aren't made better, he will flip his lid.

Hollyberry Cookie smothers you a lot. She's attentive to your needs, and she's a lot more low energy. She cares about you very deeply.

White Lily Cookie is similar to Pure Vanilla Cookie, as she lovingly takes care of you. She may use those vines to hold you down if you try to get up while sick.
