it’s been a long time since i have seen my beloved. the moss has grown on that abetachibana tree

PART ONE: ichigo daifuku

Gojō Satoru tells you that love is the most twisted curse of them all.

He had said it in passing after your first solo mission, right as you were entering the car back to Jujutsu Tech before talking your ear off with his lame jokes. The mission had consisted of exorcizing a curse that had persistently haunted an abandoned apartment complex in Omotesandō, assigned to you by the higher-ups in accordance with your newly promoted rank as a Grade 2 sorcerer, having decided that a Grade 1 was doable enough for someone of your caliber. The curse itself wasn’t anything special, though, only repeating gargled confessions of its love to some ‘Chiyo-chan’—whoever she was—the whole time you were dodging its attacks, which was incredibly annoying. You liked your battles in silence, quick and succinct, but curses make that difficult to achieve.

Gojō muses it could have been a past lover, this Chiyo-chan—its love for her having cursed itself. You didn’t really care. If you keep up the good work, complete your required missions and get another recommendation, you could be ranked a Semi-Grade 1 by your second year, then a Grade 1 by your third and nothing else after that because unless you were someone like Gojō Satoru, then you are capped forever at Grade 1.

“So anyway—snacks you like?” said sorcerer asks, finally done with his previous tale. Something about an old coworker. “Mochi, senbei, or taiyaki? Personally, I'm a mochi ice cream type of guy!”

You look at him.

“Why are you here again?”

“... Is your memory that small, Ume? I was proctoring you,” he tuts, mouth turned downwards. “Congrats on the promotion, by the way.”

You shrug. “Ichigo daifuku is good, I guess.”

He smiles, wryly.

“You’re joking, right?”

The building facing your childhood home had been home to Orimito Rika, an unsuspecting property with a decent front yard and the occasional street cat or two often shooed away by her irate grandmother. “Mean granny,” you’d often call her, the insult drowned out by your hushed giggles as you played with your dolls. Rika wouldn’t say anything about it, wouldn’t dare verbally agree with you, but she would always nod her head down, the corners of her lips turned up too high.

You didn’t particularly hate the old woman, but there was a certain kind of satisfaction to saying it behind her back after all the times you’ve caught her looking at her granddaughter in unbridled scorn, your own little form of revenge. You could never understand how her only remaining family could look at her like that, not when Rika was so beautiful and kind; like the cherry blossoms during spring, falling gently along with the wind. Sure, she could be a little cunning at times, and none of the other kids at school liked her because “something’s odd about her, can’t you just hang out with us instead?”—but that’s what makes her interesting, right?

Rika isn’t weird, she’s pretty, and you’re the bee drawn to her. She’s only older than you by a year, ten instead of nine, but she always played with you, taught you how to make flower crowns at the park, and when you walked home from school she’d always hold your hand. Her smile is blindingly bright, the sound of her voice a song you couldn’t stop listening to. Selfishly, you wish it would always be the two of you together; playing with your dolls, walking home with your hands intertwined.

But when she came back from the hospital, so did Okkotsu Yūta.

You could never see what she saw in him; he was short and just a little bit pathetic, always trailing after her like a lost puppy at first. You could push him off the swing and he'd move on with a sniffle, the kind to give up the plastic shovel even though he desperately needed it to finish his sand castle because he didn’t want to fight a girl. He smiled shyly and hid his hands behind his back, looking at you like he was looking for your approval. Of course, you never gave him the time of day, because it felt like he had stolen Rika—your Rika. It was supposed to be just you and her, but that wasn’t the case anymore. Now there was Okkotsu Yūta, who held Rika’s other hand after school, who took away her attention from you so easily.

“He’s so cute, isn’t he?” she asks often, a light blush dusting her face.

“I guess,” is your reply.

“Ne,” she calls, presenting to you a small, black box. You look at it in apprehension, wincing when she eventually opens it. “What do you think of this ring? It was my mom’s. I’m gonna give this to Yūta-kun, do you think he’ll like it?”

The ring was immensely simple, a silver-colored band with a small diamond in front, glinting under the light. Nevermind the fact that it was too big for a child’s fingers to fit in, Rika presented it to you as if it held all the answers to the world. Although her parents were dead, and she had definitely stolen it from her grandmother’s dresser, the ring spoke full of promise. When she takes it out of the box and lets you inspect it, it feels heavy.

“... You really like him, don’t you, Rika-chan?” you ask, quietly.

Rika looks at the stupid piece of jewelry, painfully smitten.

“Mhm,” she affirms. “I really like Yūta-kun. I want to be with him forever! Of course, I like you too, Ume-chan. You and Yūta-kun are my favorite people in the world!”

You close the box, handing it back to her. When Rika looks at you expectantly, you realize then that you could never bring yourself to take that happiness away from her.

+

The koinobori flies.

“It’s so pretty!” Rika exclaims, eyes wide and staring up at the sky where the huge, windsock carp moves around. It’s bathed in all sorts of colors—from red to blue to white to green—dancing along the azure expanse in commemoration of Children’s Day. The weather is just right, not too hot nor too cold, and the wind caresses your skin gently, the sun not too harsh. It makes the color of Rika’s hair shine in all the right ways, adds more sparkle in her already bright eyes. She’s wearing a yellow sundress, a nice change from her usual blue one. The cream-colored hat you let her borrow covers her face with the shade, but her smile remains bright and blinding. She looks pretty.

She gives you all of her ichigo daifuku, and shares Yūta’s snacks. She doesn’t even like chimaki.

“Are you sure, Rika-chan?” you ask, looking at the two sweets in your hands.

She beams. “You like them, don’t you?”

You keep them with you until the end of the event.

The day passes by incredibly fast, your little trio having exhausted yourselves from running around the park alongside the other children. Yūta chases Rika around the park, and you watch them squeal and laugh at each other and hold hands. You watch them take a nap under the shade, their pinkies intertwined, and you watch as the ugly color of green blinds your eyesight. You leave them be.

Sometimes, you wish you’re the colorful koinobori flying in the sky. You’d let Rika hold on to you, let her fly and hear her amused laugh as the wind tickles her skin. Sometimes, you wish Yūta slapped the ring away from her hands when she handed it to him. Wish he stomped it on the ground and at the same time stomped on her heart. Wish he didn’t take it with a huge smile and agree that he’d marry her when they get older; he’s not the one who’d wait long lines just to get her the best ichigo daifuku, not the one who’d jump at the other kids when they so much as think of insulting her, and he won’t be the one who’d choose to stay with her when she’s all gray and old cause he’s a boy, and boys would never do that.

Sometimes, you wish he never liked her at all—because he never deserved her in the first place.

Okkotsu Yūta could never love Orimito Rika like you.

+

He sits beside you at lunch.

Rika’s been bedridden for the whole week, which subsequently ruins your week. Yūta doesn’t seem to mind her absence all that much since he doesn’t see her a lot during classes anyway, but they’re supposed to be engaged. He should always be thinking of her, should be acting as miserable as you even at the unripe age of nine. He looks too okay with her absence when he shouldn’t be.

“What’s this?” you ask, pointing at the small bag of snacks he had placed on the cover of your bento.

“Hm?” he looks up. “Oh, it’s norimaki senbei.”

“... And?” you prod.

He tilts his head. “You don’t want it?”

“... I don’t want it.”

He looks at you thoughtfully.

“But you like them, don’t you?” he asks though he’s acting like he already knows, like you’ll take it regardless of what you say. It’s annoying.

You look at the seaweed-wrapped rice crackers—the stupid norimaki senbei—in mild contempt. “Why are you giving it to me?”

Yūta’s smile is small, knowing. “Because you don’t like sweets.”

You frown.

+

She’s a sweet girl.

You think of Orimoto Rika like that because it’s true—she smiles sweetly, she speaks sweetly, and she likes sweet things. She tells you that her favorite snack is ichigo daifuku, the very same confection you always begged your parents to buy for you just so you could share them with her. It pays off all the time because then she’d look as sweet as the daifuku itself, her cheeks as red as the fruit within it. She also likes hanami dango, but she doesn’t like the green part because she doesn’t really like the subtle taste of yomogi, so you eat the rest for her because she doesn’t want to waste it. She likes cold tea instead of hot, sweet instead of savory, like yuzu iced tea or bubbly ramune in comparison to the nutty taste of hōjicha. When you go to the store, she always gets the kompeitō with some random anime character on the packaging because those were the “cutest kind of kompeitō,” and Rika likes cute things.

She also likes the color pink, but when you ask her what her favorite color is she’d say it’s blue. It’s blue not because she wears that blue dress all the time, but blue because it’s the color of Okkotsu Yūta’s eyes, bright and round and always looking at her. Rika likes it that way—she likes how Okkotsu Yūta is always looking at her with his blue eyes, unwavering and full of adoration for her and her only.

You think Orimito Rika is a sweet girl, but sometimes she’s more than that. Sometimes, when the other kids get brave enough to drag you away from her, tell you to stop hanging out with her, they say it’s because Rika doesn’t like anyone else but Okkotsu Yūta.

Sometimes, when they tell you that, you wonder if Rika liked you at all, way before Okkotsu Yūta came into the picture.

But most of the time, you don’t really care. Even if Rika didn’t like you, you’d still like her. Even if she’d only have her eyes set on Okkotsu Yūta with his stupid blue eyes and his stupid norimaki senbei and stupid chimaki that he shared with her on the fifth of May, you’d still like her because she’s Rika—beautiful, kind, and wonderful Rika.

She has things she doesn’t like, too, such as other people but never Yūta-kun or Ume-chan! She likes it when people compliment her and praise her looks and give her free stuff like ramune or ichigo daifuku or Sailor Moon-themed kompeitō from the store, but sometimes she tells you that she dislikes this certain group of girls from Yūta’s class, dislikes the boy assigned as your seatmate, her homeroom teacher, the “weird” guy who works at the konbini a street over, and dislikes it even more when her grandmother looks at her and tells her she killed her own father without even saying anything at all.

You know all those things because you know Orimito Rika. You like her even if she holds intense dislike for the people outside her circle, people who tick her off just a little for you to see her smile crack at the edges and go stiff, the little twitch of her brown eyes, and most importantly, you still like her when all she wants in the world is the attention of the boy who wears her deceased mother’s ring.

You’ll always want sweet girls like her.

+

“Where’s Rika-chan?”

“Her grandma won’t let her go out today,” Yūta says, sitting next to you on the bench. “So it’s just you and me.”

He says it dejectedly, but it’s not enough for you. If he was really sad, then he’d be as sad as you are, so you start packing your belongings. “I’m leaving, then.”

He startles, standing up. “Huh? W–wait! Don’t leave just yet!”

“But Rika-chan’s not here,” you frown. “There’s no point in hanging out today.”

He falters, looking down at the ground.

“Even if she isn’t here, we can still play together…” he offers, looking up at you timidly. “We’re friends, too, aren’t we?”

The green-eyed monster stares at the silver chain wrapped around his neck, the ring acting as its pendant tucked underneath his shirt—like an unattainable treasure trapped inside a chest with the key thrown away somewhere you cannot find it. We’re not friends, the monster says with a snarl, stay away from me.

If there is one thing you know, then it’s that you have never wanted to be friends with Okkotsu Yūta, not after he took everything from you. He can butter you up by sticking to you during class and sitting next to you at lunch and even offering you some of his not-ichigo daifuku, not-yuzu iced tea, and not-colorful anime-themed kompeitō but you will and have never liked him for the green-eyed monster will always sit on your shoulder so long as he wears that ring on his person, a physical manifestation of his promise with Rika. Your Rika, even if that’s not really the case.

You will never like Okkotsu Yūta, because—because he—

“... What’re we even gonna do?” you ask, slowly.

He immediately brightens up.

“… Wanna get ice cream?” he offers. “There’s a new flavor I wanna try!”

His suggestion does not entice you at all, but when he stands there with an outstretched hand waiting for you to take it, like it’ll matter if you reject him, you find yourself at a crossroads. But you make your decision soon enough. Like it’ll matter, like the green-eyed monster isn’t there, staring.

“Okay,” you say, moving past him to start walking. He blinks incredulously at the blatant rejection before gathering himself and following after you, a prep to his step regardless of your actions.

You try to ignore the warmth of his body next to yours.

He’s too close.

+

“Yūta-kun’s birthday is in a few days,” Rika announces, lying on your spare futon. “Did you get him anything?”

You didn’t. “... Yeah.”

“Really? What is it?” she cranes her neck to face you. “What’d you get him?”

She doesn’t want your gift being better than hers, it checks out. “Um… just a toy. A garbage truck.”

“Oh, okay,” she turns back to face the ceiling. “I made him a scrapbook with photos of us. I worked really hard on it… do you think he’ll like it?”

“He’ll like anything you give him.”

She’s already given him a ring—what else could compare to that?

Rika smiles. “I guess… you’re right.”

Soon enough, she goes to sleep, breathing softly beside you as your fan fills the silence of the night. You continue staring at the ceiling, making out the little dents despite the lack of light. You squeeze the hand that holds your under the cover, before closing your eyes.

You hear her softly breathe on a steady beat alongside the fan whirring in the corner, and you close your eyes, squeezing her hand tighter underneath the covers of your too-close futon.

You’ll have to ask your parents for some money tomorrow.

+

“Rika-chan isn’t here again,” Yūta says dejectedly. “Her granny’s too strict.”

“She hates her,” you say quietly.

Yūta looks at you, confused. “What’d you say?”

“Nothing. Your birthday’s coming up soon, what are you doing that day?”

“Uwah—you remember?”

“Rika-chan told me.”

“Oh, well,” he smiles sheepishly, “we have school that day, but after that I’ll be celebrating at my house. I’m thinking of just inviting Rika-chan and you over… um, so, will you come?”

“I’ll go if Rika-chan is going.”

He blinks, before a smile blooms on his face. “Okay! I’ll see you, then.”

+

It happens when you aren't there.

It never should have happened at all.

Orimito Rika is pronounced dead at the age of eleven, her body unrecognizable under the heavy weight of a blue truck.

coord & diary

Saturday - I went out to Tsujiri, a local matcha cafe, with Alice! We're working on a panel for our local comm together. She was wearing moitie and looked so cute!

I got a Yuzu slush topped with matcha ice cream and matcha daifuku. It was really soft & whipped on the inside, not what I was expecting, but really good! I'm more used to the paste-y ones. This was less filling but sweeter and more like a dessert than a snack. It was a bit hard to eat though :P

We had a pretty productive day, and then went walking to snap some quick coord shots. I took a few pics of Alice that I'll edit and post on my photography account.

Sunday -

No lolita, as my gf & I were going to the spa! It was super nice, but we started the day a bit hectic.. running around hungry, we missed our metro stop and forgot our spa gift cards.. oops. But we ended the day with a nice ramen meal :)

What makes an Emperor an Emperor?

When discussing the yonko, there always comes the question about "what makes someone an emperor?" and "who decides who is and isn't an emperor?"

From what I can gather, there is no definitive answer to that question, as being an emperor is a matter of public perception. From a certain point of view, one could argue that Big News Morgan is the one who decides, but there is still a lot of nuance that is missing.

However, from the Emperors whose crews we are familiar with, there are a certain number of traits which the Emperors share. (Note: For most of these examples, Shanks has had to be ignored as (despite us knowing him the longest) we do not know much about his crew).

1. A powerful captain

This is the most obvious trait, an Emperor must (as an individual) be exceedingly powerful. The strongest man in the world, the strongest creature in the world, the only known man to wield two devil fruits; all of the Emperors are exceptional fighters. If I had to quantify it, I would say that if they could match/defeat an admiral of the navy, then they would fulfil these criteria. But then what about individuals who are of a similar calibre? The most notable example being Dracule Mihawk, who went toe to toe with Shanks per arm loss. Well to answer that question we consider the next trait that is shared.

2. A small group of powerful Commander's

All of the Emperors that we have seen have a couple of subordinates whose power (whilst less than their captain) is significant. Kaido has the three All Stars, Big Mom has the three (formally four) sweet commanders, and Luffy has Zoro, Sanji and now Jimbe.

Whitebeard had 16 commanders beneath him, but division number does not indicate their strength [cite: SBS One Piece Manga — Vol. 59 (p. 96). ] Despite this, emphasis was placed in the Vivre card data book on Marco, Jozu and Vista. Which indicates to us that these are the three significant commanders; alternatively Izou and Ace might also be considered to fulfil this role.

The ranking within Blackbeards upper structure are not fully known to us as readers. However, emphasis has been placed on Shiryu (as the second in command), and Burgess and Laffitte as important subordinates.

Shank's crew ranking is also unknown, but it has been confirmed that Benn Beckman is the first mate. Additionally, emphasis has been placed on Lucky Roux, which may indicate that he is a high ranking subordinate.

3. A slightly larger group of Lieutenant's

In addition to the previous handful of second in commands, each Emperor seems to have a slightly larger group of Lieutenants who are strong fighters in their own right but are typically weaker than the direct subordinates. For Luffy this would be the rest of his crew, for Kaido this would be the Tobbi Roppo, for Blackbeard this would be the rest of the titanic captains, for Whitebeard this would be the other division commanders. For Shanks, it is most likely the other fighters who were at the Marineford stand-off ( Bonk Punch, Limejuice etc.).

For Big Mom, it is most likely her children who have strong abilities, my personal choice for who fulfils this role are Perospero, Compote, Daifuku, and Oven. Another one may be Streusen, who was one of the first members of the crew.

4. An army of pirates

Most Emperors have a large group of subordinates beneath them who serve as a large ground force. It is important to note that there may be subdivisions within this large group, which are discussed in the following. For this one, we cannot confirm if Shanks or Blackbeard fulfil this criteria as their full capabilities are not known. However, for the other Emperors this is very straight forward:

Whitebeard demonstrated his massive crew at Marineford (having at least 4 ships worth of troops), it is unclear if there are any subdivsions.

Luffy has the Strawhat Grand Fleet, numbering about, 5640 strong, which a clear division between the leaders of each fleet and the lower ranking members.

Kaido has a gargantuan army that is approximately 20,000 strong. With many subdivisions between the waiters, pleasures, gifters, headliners and numbers.

Big Mom has a large army which may be divided into the homies, the living soldiers, and her children (as officers).

5. Allied/subordinate crews

A shared factor between a large amount of the Emperors are subordinate/allied crews. These are crews that are technically separate but either closely work with the Emperor or work directly under them. Note that the line between allied/suborinate crew and just being a member can be blurred.

Whitebeard has an extensive allied crew base, which includes Doma, McGuy, the Decalvan Brothers, Squard and Little Oars.

Kaido typically subjugates crews and absorbs them into his own, notable members include Hawkins, and Apoo.

Big Mom also has subordinate crews, whom she has married into the family. Notable ones being the Firetank Pirates and the Sun Pirates.

Blackbeard appears to have at least one subordinate crew (the peachbeard pirates). It is unclear how large his power base is.

Luffy has an extensive ally base, including the Kidd pirates, the heart pirates, the firetank pirates, kuja pirates, phoenix pirates, the mink tribe, the samurai of wano, the sun pirates, the thriller bark restoration committee etc. Seriously, Luffy has an incredibly large ally based.

Once again, Shank's crew is an unknown.

6. They control important/large amount of territory.

All the Emperors control large parts of the new world, owning either large swathes of land or significant pieces.

Shanks has demonstrated multiple territories, including a winter island, an island with cacti and a church, and an island that Barto is burning to the ground.

Big Mom controls the largest known territory, the 35-island archipelago known as Totto Land. Additionally, she placed fishman island under her protection.

Whitebeard controlled/protected islands such as Sphinx, Fishman island and Foodvalten.

Blackbeard controls most of Whitebeard's former territories [cite: Vol. 59 Chapter 581 (p. 7-8)]. Additionally, he controls the island of Fullalead.

Kaido controls the vast land of Wano, which serves as a source of weapons manufacturing, ship building and sea-stone mining.

Luffy currently has one island under his protection, Fishman island, which serves as the gateway to the new-world and could be argued to be one of the most important islands geographically.

These are all the connecting factors between the Emperors, it explains why certain pirates (such as Mihawk and Kidd) are not considered Emperors. What do you guys think? Are there any major factors that I have missed?

What is Abiteth's favorite treat to make for herself? What is her favorite treat to buy for herself? What treat does she make for Dabi?

OOOOUUUH SUCH A GOOD QUESTION...

She loooooooves to make baklava for herself!!! Baking isn't her strong suit, and she makes a HUGE mess when she does, but she has learned how to bake a decent baklava for herself over the years~ She also keeps trying her hand at other Japanese desserts, but most of her attempts aren't that great :P still tasty though, just... not visually appealing.

Anytime Abi sees Sakura Daifuku she will buy it in bulk and eat it all in one sitting (probably!!!)

For Dabi she keeps trying to learn how to make Taiyaki, but half the time they fall apart or get stuck to the mold (she greased them SHE SWEARS IT!!!) he thinks her efforts are really adorable. She's tried to make him crepes too but she basically just made pancakes - she gets better at it overtime of course~ (and he does enjoy her baklava too! When he can get a piece because Abi is a glutton and eats all food she sees)

A3! Sakisaka Muku - Translation [SSR] Makeup: Ice (3/3)

*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi

---

Muku: Look here, Director-san! These tables are shaped like biscuits!

*click*

Muku: The donut decorations hanging from the ceiling sure are nice too! It’s so cute you just want to take pictures all over the venue.

*click*

Izumi: Would you like a picture of yourself too, Muku-kun? Not just of the interior. I’ll take it for you, if you’d like.

Muku: In that case, could you be in the photo as well, Director-san?

Izumi: You want to take one together?

Muku: Of course! Please. The two of us came here together, after all!

Izumi: If you say so… Um, maybe we can take a selfie?

Muku: Yeah, sounds great! Alright, with the wall in the background… Umm, I think it would look better if we were a little closer together.

Izumi: Like this?

Muku: Ah, perfect! I’m taking it now!

*click*

Izumi: How does it look?

Muku: Mhm, it came out well—. Ah, I’m sorry! It looks like I got too close without realizing it…!

Izumi: Ahaha, don’t worry. I don’t mind. So how’s the photo?

Muku: It came out really pretty! Ehehe… I’m so happy I got a selfie with you, Director-san.

Option 1: “The opportunity to take a selfie…”

Izumi: True, I don’t normally get the opportunity to take a selfie all that often.

Muku: Yeah! This will be a wonderful memory.

Izumi: Sent it to me later, okay?

Muku: Sure thing! I have to make sure I don’t erase the data…

Izumi: Ahaha, it’s not that serious.

Option 2: “It sure is fun”

Izumi: Sweets exhibitions sure are fun. The displays are so elaborate, you can’t help but look at all the nooks and crannies.

Muku: According to the map of the venue, there’s plenty more to see! Like more photo spots and displays.

Izumi: You’re right. I wonder if we’ll get to all of them?

Muku: I’ll escort you! I’ll guide you through the most optimal route, princess.

Izumi: P-princess?

Muku: Ah, s-sorry about that! The whole time, I’ve been thinking you look just like a princess in this room… I called you that without thinking… did you dislike it?

Izumi: Um, well… it’s embarrassing, but just a little bit is fine.

Muku: Ehehe, thank you very much! Now then, let’s be off, princess.

-pause-

Izumi: It looks like we’ve come full circle now.

Muku: Yep! We went around to all the photo spots and attractions.

Izumi: I never thought I’d get into a ball pool at this age.

Muku: Ahaha, me neither. But the donut shaped swim ring was so cute.

Izumi: (Muku-kun didn’t look out of place at all…)

Muku: Ah, it looks like a merchandise corner over here. There’s tons of adorable and delicious-looking sweets…!

Izumi: Yeah. We have to choose and buy them carefully or else we’ll want everything.

Muku: Right! What should I choose? Eclairs or macarons…

Izumi: The Japanese sweets look trendy too. Mame daifuku, dango…

Muku: Look, Director-san! This looks like an ohagi…

Izumi: It’s beautiful like a rose…! I didn’t know there were ohagi like this.

Muku: I have to buy this for Ju-chan!

Izumi: Good choice.

Muku: Director-san, they have guimauves that are special to this sweets exhibition!

Izumi: For this, it’s gotta be…

Muku: A souvenir for Hisoka-san!

-pause-

Juza: *Nom, nom*… this ohagi tastes amazin’.

Hisoka: The frambroise guimauve is delicious too.

Kazunari: These candies are totes ‘blammable! I’m gonna snap some shots first~.

Muku; I’m glad you like them.

Kazunari: You guys sure bought a lot though~.

Muku: All of your faces came to mind as we were looking around… The items piled up before we knew it.

Kazunari: You’re such a nice guy, Mukkun!

Hisoka: Thanks, Muku.

Juza: Thanks. We got to eat such tasty things thanks to you.

Muku: It’s all thanks to Director-san for taking me to the sweets exhibition. Once again… Thank you so much, Director-san!

Izumi: You’re very welcome. Thanks for coming along with me.

【3609日目その１】2022-12-04 僕の誕生日であり、僕たちのはじまりの日。イノベーティブ・モダンインディアンの真骨頂たる名店のアフターヌーンティーでお祝い。 THE GREY ROOM＠銀座 ‪____________________________________ “THE GREY ROOM Afternoon tea(2022.12)” supported by SPICE LAB TOKYO ●Indian Sherbet Vanilla & coconuts lassi バニラとココナッツのラッシー。カクテルグラスに注がれたふわっふわのなめらかラッシー。ミルクとバニラとココナッツ。甘い香りのハーモニー。 英国式のケーキスタンドは、サンドウィッチ、スコーン、ペイストリーの３段が定番ですが、下段のセイボリーは東西南北インド各地の料理。中段のヨーロピアンデザートはクラシカルな欧州のお菓子、上段のインディアンデザートは、インド伝統菓子となります。 ●Savory TGR butter chicken, vegetable biryani (mushroom) THE GREY ROOM特製バターチキンカレーと季節野菜のビリヤニ。むちゃくちゃおいしいバターチキンと、旨みで語るキノコのビリヤニ。しっかり火が通ったキノコ＆スパイスがむちゃくちゃうまい。リッチなグレイビーとパラパラなライス感のバランスも素晴らしいです。 Tandoori Narangi Malai white fish オレンジとヨーグルトでマリネした白身魚のタンドゥール・ロースト。これも秀逸。フワっと口当たりの軽い白身魚に、窯焼きされてこんがりしたヨーグルトの香ばしさとオレンジフレーバーのコンビネーション。 Spinach chaat ほうれん草のチャート。ほうれん草のパコラ（天ぷら）には、アジョワンパウダーが忍ばせてあり、噛むたびに香りが弾けます。ヨーグルト（白）、コリアンダーチャトニ（緑）、スイートタマリンドソース（紅）でクリスマスカラーの装い。 Dhokla beetroot tartare ひよこ豆粉のパンケーキ”ドクラ” ビーツのタルタル。グジャラート州の伝統スポンジケーキ料理に、土のようなワイルドな香りを秘めた、ビーツを刻んだソースがのせられていました。 Prawn Amritsari 海老のスパイシーフリット。しっとりした揚げ衣の中にはプリプリの海老。まっすぐストレートに旨い。 ●European dessert section Pistachio scone Termeric mascarpone cheese, strawberries jam ピスタチオのスコーン。サクサクの軽い口当たりのスコーン。黄色く染まったターメリック香るマスカルポーネチーズと苺ジャムでいただきます。 Moong dal halva & strawberry Daifuku ムングダル・ハルヴァの苺大福。クラシックな洋菓子の段と思いきや、突然のイノベーティブワールド。皮なし緑豆のハルヴァは小豆餡のように作られていて、苺がちょこんと座っています。 Strawberry cream puff Strawberry mini tart 苺のシュークリームと苺のミニタルト。この辺りから12月だからなのか苺ラッシュ。サックリシュークリームとしっとりタルト。 Snow ball cookies Yukidaruma スノーボールクッキーの雪だるま （後半へ続く） ‪____________________________________ 🇮🇳 #india #indianfood #sweet #sweets #afternoontea #curry #biryani #instafood #asianfood #asia #foodpic #foodstagram #tasty #delicious #spice #THEGREYROOM #アフタヌーンティー #ヌン活‪ #銀座 #紅茶 #カレー #カレー部 #‬フクドローン #ふくすたぐらむ ↓ THE GREY ROOM @thegreyroom_ginza @spicelabtokyo (THE GREY ROOM) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmKx1PMvkqn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here's to another life reboot beginning w/ gratitude. Despite my partial negligence, I've been showered w/ prayers, care and consideration. At home, upon informing our household that I might have COVID, all my essentials where already packed upon my arrival from work. At such urgency too, my uncles and aunts prompty prepared my accomodation, vitamins, food and even reconnected the wifi and phone lines so I could attend to my work meetings and watch netflix. During my 7 day being COVID positive, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly were it not for my dear aunt joana who sent me freshly-cooked gourmet and nutritious full course meals 3x a day. Today, she also sent these fresh and delicious @yokado.daifuku Fruit Sando and Fruit Daifuku that's specially prepared by a Japanese chef. At work, our already paid for and supposedly scheduled office outing was deferred. And, my ex-office committee's annual lunch assembly will be held again upon my resumption. My inter-office team also didn't pressure me on the delay on my part. The same is true for my social media deliverables. Thank you everyone. As a simple idealist, I can only strive to grow further and offer more of my skills for the greater good. ☺️ 阿姨送的日式水果麻糬和水果三明治。 #tsinoyfoodies #yokado #daifuku #fruitsando#fruitsandwich #japanesesandwich #covidrecovery #japanesefood #imnotworthy #gratefulness #gratitude #simplypleasures (at Manila, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBUtBIp8b-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💫💞💎 for the fic ask game!

ty for the ask! ^_^

💫what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

any comment at all c:

even if it's just "<3" or "neat" or keyboard smash

or if you just really liked one particular moment in the chapter and then just copypasted that part of the chapter

or analyzing/speculating wat will happen next

or something like "o in this chapter the characters were eating sandwiches and that reminded me of this tom scott youtube video about sandwiches i watched the other day" idk lol

💞what's the most important part of a story for you? the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, the technical stuff (grammar etc), the figurative language

for me personally, characters and plot

i can ignore bad grammar and spelling and even formatting or sloppy worldbuilding if the characters interactions feel genuine, and/or if the plot happenings are interesting!

💎why is writing important to you?

there are fics i want to read but dont exist soooooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

also i kinda like the idea of like. just embedding various small aspects of my life into the fic im writing, kind of like a time capsule. i can read my earlier fics and be like "oh haha this is a reference to <thing> that was happening at the time"

like for example in my daifuku-kun fic you may notice at the end of every chapter there are steps to derive various derivatives using the formal definition of a limit and well uhhhh thats what i was learning in class at the time lol (and also it was supposed to be very slowly building to the "if a person approaches you an alleyway with a gun and asks 'what is the derivative of xˣ' you need to be prepared" meme we had in class :P)
