✿ 鴛鴦茶 | Yuanyang ・中国・香港で親しまれている"コーヒー紅茶"。広東語で"ユンヨン"と呼ばれる飲み物で、コンデンス入りの紅茶とコーヒーを混ぜ合わせて作られます。アレンジの幅は広く、タピオカやレモン、香辛料などが入ったバラエティー豊かな鴛鴦茶が楽しめます。 ・コーヒーと紅茶に加えて、砂糖と無糖練乳も加えて飲むケースが多く、その場合には「鴛鴦奶茶（えんおうだいちゃ）」とも呼ばれます。喫茶店で飲む際には砂糖と無糖練乳を加えることが多いようです。 ちなみに鴛鴦茶（えんおうちゃ）はホットもアイスも両方あります。ホットの場合には“熱い”と言う漢字を加えて「熱鴛鴦」、アイスの場合には“凍る”という漢字を加えて「凍鴛鴦」と呼ばれます。 ・もともと「鴛鴦」を日本語読みすると「オシドリ」と呼びます。“いつも一緒で仲が良い”といった意味があり、鴛鴦茶の場合にはコーヒーと紅茶が仲良くブレンドされているというのが語源としてあります。 そんな鴛鴦茶ですが、誰が考案したかなどは確かではなく、数十年前ほど前から香港で流行って飲まれ始めました。今や香港では、鴛鴦茶はカフェやレストランにあって当たり前のドリンクメニューの1つとしてその地位を確立しています。 ちなみに香港の紅茶にはもともと中国茶がブレンドされていることが多いので、実際には香港の鴛鴦茶＝コーヒー＋紅茶＋中国茶のブレンドといった方が正確なのかもしれません。

The bubble tea connoisseur🧋🌸✨🇹🇼

[atlaculture]

Hi! Do you have any thoughts on tea ceremonies in the Avatar universe or do you have any resources about tea ceremonies? It’s a massive rabbit hole and I can’t find a concise video on the social meanings (and admittedly long history) or an audiobook. (Is it silly that most of my info comes from anime and analysis of the Tale of Genji?)

Tea ceremony is definitely a field of study that is both expansive and deep. Unfortunately, it's not something I'm very knowledgeable about. I guess you could say it's not my cup of tea.

The best I can do is give you some general guidelines and details regarding tea ceremony:

Firstly, lets establish what tea ceremony is and isn't. We'll go with Wikipedia's definition: "Tea ceremony is a ritualized practice of making and serving tea (茶 cha) in East Asia practiced in the Sinosphere."

Other cultures (Mongolia, Tibet, etc.) also have very rich tea cultures as well, but it seems the emphasis in those cultures is on the context and ritual behind the serving of tea to someone, rather than the tea making process itself. I would distinguish these rituals as being more like tea rites. For the record, I just coined the term tea rite off the top of my head, and am making this distinction to narrow the research that needs to be done here. ^_^;;;

To clarify further, I would also say that wedding tea ceremony is really more an example of a tea rite than a tea ceremony, despite the name. Wedding tea ceremonies place emphasis on showing respect towards the parents, with tea-serving being the ritual that shows this appreciation. The focus is not so much on the brewing of the tea.

Tea ceremony traditions vary by nation and region. I would advise to pick a specific area's tea ceremony when integrating these practices into your story.

Chinese tea ceremony is known as gongfu cha (功夫茶) or "skillfully making tea". It's a sophisticated way of brewing and appreciating tea. This Wikipedia article details the steps of Chinese tea ceremony really well. It even details what materials should be used for all the tea accessories.

The Japanese tea ceremony Wikipedia article is also quite detailed. Compared to Chinese tea ceremony, Japanese tea ceremony seems to have a stronger religious/spiritual connotation, as it's very influenced by Zen Buddhism and Shintoism. There's more emphasis on what type of clothing should be worn and where the ceremony should be performed. Japanese tea ceremony is also unique for its use of "thick tea", powdered tea leaves brewed with a low ratio of water (matcha tea).

Last but not least, the Korean tea ceremony Wiki article. It doesn't seem to be as formal as Japanese tea ceremony, but it does seem to have a stronger religious connotation than Chinese gongfu cha, as many of the traditions developed in the Korean temples.

This video and its YouTube channel are great insights into the world of Chinese tea culture.

Also! Teapets are common in Chinese tea ceremony and they're really cute! You're supposed to pour tea over them for good luck ("feeding them") and they can be used to test the temperature of the tea.

As for how it could relate to ATLA, you could have the Earth Kingdom practice Chinese-style tea ceremony and the Fire Nation practice Japanese-style or Korean-style.

Air Nomads don't have tea ceremonies, per se, but Tibetan "tea rites" as I defined above.

The Water Tribe views tea more pragmatically, treating it as an herbal remedy.

So this is just my very surface-level, cursory knowledge of East Asian tea ceremony. I hope this post provides a bit more direction in your research journey. ^_^;

Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^

The “Illustrated Fantasy Book Guide” is a magazine-format book (or mook) released in 1989 by the publisher of ファミコン必勝本 “Famicon Winning Book”, an NES gaming magazine. The mook lists 37 works of fantasy originally written in English except for “Ficciones” by Borges. The editors of “Famicon Winning Book” were fond of the Wizardry port to the NES, which is my explanation for their interest in this stuff. In any case, they created the best Appendix N so to speak of fantasy translated into Japanese that I have yet found. The Japanese titles are provided below to aid the online searches of would-be buyers.

The sigh becomes a butterfly  in the flower field

This is a haiku poetry written by a 17-year-old Japanese schoolgirl.

I've introduced it here because the sensibility of "a sigh becomes a butterfly" is so wonderful.

On the back of the Oi, Ocha tea bags, haiku by boys and girls from all over the country are introduced, and I look forward to reading them every time I make tea.

Green tea is one of the oldest Japanese zen traditions, originating from Eisai, a Zen monk around the 12th century. The supposedly bitter matcha green tea flavour is now mixed with sugar and milk and is popular all over the world. I regularly use "Oi, Ocha" tea bags for this time-honoured green tea, which is super easy and tasty.

"ため息は、蝶になりけり、花畑"

これは日本の17歳の女子高生が作った俳句。「ため息が蝶になる」という感性がとても素晴らしいので、ご紹介した。

「お〜い、お茶」のティーバッグの裏には、全国の少年少女たちの俳句が紹介されている（以前は大人バージョンだったような）毎回、お茶を入れる度に楽しみに読んでいる。

緑茶は、12世紀ごろの禅僧、栄西由来の日本古来の伝統の一つ。苦ーいはずの抹茶味は、砂糖とミルクを混ぜ、現在では世界中で人気の味となっている。その由緒正しい緑茶を、私は超簡単で美味な「お〜い、お茶」のティーバッグを常用して飲んでいる。

絵画で言えば、気の遠くなるようなルネサンスのテンペラ技法から、油で描けるが乾くのに時間がかかり面倒な油絵具へ、そして乾きが早く水で洗えるアクリル絵具に進化し、今やAIアプリを使えば、手を汚す必要すらない…みたいなものだ。

MHA Chapter 395 spoilers translations

This week’s initial tentative super rough/literal translations under the cut.

tagline 1 No.395 幸せの上に　　堀越耕平 ナンバー395 しあわせのうえに　　ほりこしこうへい NANBAA 395 shiawase no ue ni   Horikoshi Kouhei No. 395 Above happiness  Kouhei Horikoshi (Note: There are many ways to potentially translate this title. “Ue” means top, above, beyond, before, regarding, because of, and many other similar things. I take this title to either mean there’s something more important than the speaker’s happiness or the speaker is doing something because of their happiness.)

tagline 2 トゥワイスが消え… トゥワイスがきえ… TUWAISU ga kie... The Twices vanish...

1 だよな… da yo na... “That’s right...”

2 分倍河原は……いいやつだったもんな… ぶばいがわらは……いいやつだったもんな… Bubaigawara wa......ii yatsu datta mon na... “Bubaigawara...was a good guy...”

8 どこまでいっても落としたりはしないのね どこまでいってもおとしたりはしないのね doko made ittemo otoshitari wa shinai no ne “no matter what you do, you won’t drop anyone.” (Note: This is the same phrasing as the line about Izuku being a nerd no matter what in chapter 348. Literally, the first part of the phrase means “no matter where you go,” but the idiom in English would translate to “no matter what you do.”)

9 寒い…血が出すぎた　頭と体がつながってないみたいに…全く動けない… さむい…ちがですぎた　あたまとからだがつながってないみたいに…まったくうごけない… samui...chi ga de sugita   atama to karada ga tsunagattenai mitai ni...mattaku ugokenai... I’m cold...I bled too much. It’s like my head and body aren’t connected...I can’t move at all...

5 やっぱり嫌 やっぱりや yappari ya “I absolutely hate it.” (Note: To be clear, I think she’s saying that despite this being a competition for survival, she hates this result where only Ochako is the one who dies.)

1-3 この気持ちは本当だから このきもちはほんとうだから kono kimochi wa hontou dakara “Because this feeling is genuine,”

3-4 私の血全部あげる わたしのちぜんぶあげる watashi no chi zenbu ageru “I will give all my blood to you.”

让黑夜吞噬最后一点光

Let night swallow the last bit of light

就当是一场梦

Pretend this is all a dream

如果无法挣脱索性就让一切都失控吧

If I can't escape, then let everything go out of control

尝尝我的痛

If you have a taste of my pain

或许才会明白哭到失声根本没有用吧

Maybe you'll understand that there is no point to crying

倒数着三二一零

Count down, three two one zero

卖弄可笑的六欲七情

You're still playing up your laughable emotions and desires

这世界已经天翻地覆

This world has already been turned upside down

不如和我一起跳到深渊感受这失重吧 Why don't you jump into the abyss to feel this weightlessness with me

叫他们的幻想蒸发

Let their dreams evaporate

像是面无表情撕碎玩具那般从容

As simple as coldly tearing apart a stuffed toy

谁叫他们学不会听话

It's their fault they keep falling into my hands again and again

还是一次又一次地落入我的手中

Because they can't learn to stay in line

早听腻了烦人的叽叽喳喳

I've long grown tired of this annoying chattering

用绝望在墙上染个碎花

Use despair to paint a splatter on the wall

请他们永远永远闭上嘴吧

Invite them to never, never speak again

Smothers all light in an instant

偷走那神的火把

坠落下万丈悬崖

Fall down the bottomless abyss

没有归处的人等待世界崩塌

魔鬼躲进她黑白的琴键

The demon hides in her black and white keys

收起你那套因果循环

Keep your talk of causality and repetition to yourself

我会遭报应吗？反正还没应验

Will I receive retribution? We don't know that yet

都是我的消耗品

心跳加速只是我的白噪音

The sound of a racing heart is just white noise to me

撬开一层层的保险

Prying away the layers of safeguards

像茶余饭后的消遣

Just to pass the time after a fine meal

对黑夜缺了点敬畏

You people who get hurt needlessly

白白受伤的人

Because you lack respect for the night

看着我千万别眨眼

When you look at me, never blink

偷走那神的火把

Steal the torch of the gods

坠落下万丈悬崖

Fall down the bottomless abyss

没有归处的人等待世界崩塌

The ones with no home await the world's collapse

没有归处的人啊

The ones with no home

静静沉睡吧

Sleep peacefully now

(bonus: my translation of 321!)

꒰ AFTER HOURS @ THE TEAHOUSE ꒱

PRESENTING . . . the teahouse's secret menu !

here are some of the visitors of the teahouse that sneak in after closing time . . . these are miss ying's most esteemed visitors ! make sure to greet them nicely , because these three will act like her personal bodyguards should anything nasty come their way.

THE WRIOYING SLING!

WRIOYING | wriothesley + ying !

sunshine x stormcloud trope !!!

ying and wrio met when he had finally gone up to the surface to get an errand done himself – until his sunshine spitfire (whom he had no idea who!) rammed into him at full speed. needless to say, there was a lot of apologising, and lots of promises to buy drinks as an apology gift! it didn't take much for him to take up the offer from the girl who caught his eye ( and got caught on his leg. and hence, tripped. )

it was history from then on ;–) he didn't realise that she was a social worker who would be working alongside some fortress inmates who actually wanted to leave after their time ended !!! she was to help them with reentering society :3c

stolen glances at his office, the curtains ever so slightly drawn back to let them take peeks at each other . . . asking for more one on one meetings and insisting that it was "vital to the progress of the inmates" and sneaky kisses before leaving his office hehee.

so maybe this was coworkers au after all

sea goddess au .. . . . official post coming out soon !

THE HAIYING MARGARITA!

HAIYING | al haitham + ying !

calm black cat bf x excitable orange cat gf trope !!

hmm, where did ying and alhaitham meet? i'd love to think of it as a library meetcute – or best student x worst student. the library meetcute happened when both of them reached for the same book . . . cheesy but cute ! alhaitham got so woahed for a bit that he let go of the heavy book so suddenly, and because she was holding it ( and did not expect him to let go! ) she fell forward. onto him. and he caught her so effortlessly that she couldn't help but think that she quite literally fell for him.

and she started going to the library more often to sneak a glimpse of him ! she's not very good at being sneaky, so he caught her and asked if she wanted to join him ( of course she did. ) – she fumbled a little and said "only if you'd like me to." andddd to her surprise? it was responded to with a "of course i would."

girl who's in love with the world x boy who needs to see more of it

library dates !!!!! always ! tutor!bf x needs tutoring!gf !

song : good in me / bones & the boy

THE ISOYING COCKTAIL!

ISOYING | iso + ying !

sunshine x grumpycloud trope !

ying and iso met in valorant hq – ying had been recruited right before iso . . . she knew there was something special to him, but didn't know quite what! it was nice to see another agent of the same descent – maybe she, iso and sage could have dinner together.

honestly, she didn't quite like him at the start. he was too quiet, too stony, too aloof for her liking ; ying couldn't ever imagine being able to hang out with him one on one in fear of having to be the only one to fill the silence or sit through it.

until one day! she wanted to train with sage . . . but iso got there first. "oh! sorry... i'll come back later then." she apologised hastily, grabbing her things and preparing to head out.

"...it's fine. 如果你想留下来，就继续吧." [it's fine. if you want to stay, just continue.]

she sat right down and watched him finish his session before starting her own. it was just a regular session – him standing behind, ying making use of her radiant powers ... until:

“赶快做完。跟我去买珍珠奶茶，好吗?” [finish your training quickly. come with me to get boba, alright?] .. she'd never finished a training session so quickly in her life.

boba & hotpot dates !!!! night market dates once they went back to china !!!

Dean Delmona

Gresenheller’s dean. Apparently, his hair often changes colour. “I worry about Layton, but I worry more about my granddaughter. The puzzles she comes up with are tricky…” (Note: he doesn’t specify granddaughter, he just says grandchild)

You can see students studying all throughout the university.

Clark

Other than being known for his geological surveys, he also has skills in the trade business. He is the mayor of Misthallery and a strict father. (Note: yes, the bit about being Misthallery’s mayor is present tense) “The new instruments can be difficult. It’s a lot of work each time they break.”

The loud hum of the instrument is strangely captivating.

WORLD TIMES

Research delay due to equipment fault

There are concerns regarding the delay of research after a newly installed analytical instrument was broken at Gressenheller University. “Even Professor Layton, who has a stockpile of unsubmitted work, is falling behind on his research, isn’t he?” said one person on the campus. It appears that Professor Layton was also caught completely unawares.

Research Lab B

A lab built for the purpose of archaeological research, lined with state-of-the-art analytical equipment. There is also a large collection of research material, so academics across the world long to visit here.

'Kanchi Jigoku no Zu' (Picture of a No Busy Hell). The artist and date are unknown as it is an overseas public domain image. Probably a work from the Meiji period. This is an enjoyable work depicting a relaxed hell life.

The first image shows the ignition of a cauldron in hell. When the lid is opened to light the fire, the cauldron becomes the home of a mother cat and her kittens. Even the demons can't light the cauldron. The second image shows an ogre serving tea in a cup to his boss, who is reading a newspaper. You can feel the sadness of a lowly man.

The third one is a hellfire wheel (said to carry sinners who did wrong during their lives to hell. They also carry sinners to hell to condemn them) to extinguish the fire. You have to be very careful with fire, even in hell. The last one is a banquet between Enma (Great King of Hell, who judges the conduct of human beings in life and the lightness or darkness of their sins.), Datsui-baba (An old demon woman who strips the clothes of a deceased person who has come to the Sanzu River (a river said to be the border between this world and the next) without the six pennies she owes for the ferry fare.) and the prisoners. It teaches us the importance of communication in an organisation.

「閑地獄之図(暇な地獄の図)」です。海外のパブリックドメイン画像で作者や年代は不明。多分明治期の作品かと思われます。ゆるゆるの地獄ライフが描かれている楽しい作品です。

画像一枚目は地獄の釜の点火作業。さあ火を付けようと蓋を開けたら釜は母猫と子猫の住処に。これじゃ流石に鬼も灯を付けられません 二枚目は新聞を読む上司にカップでお茶をサーブする鬼。下っ端の悲哀を感じます。

三枚目は地獄の火車(生前、悪事を犯した罪人を乗せて地獄に運ぶという。また、地獄で罪人を乗せて責める)を消火する様子。火の扱いは地獄と言えど、慎重でないとだめですよね。最後は閻魔様と奪衣婆と獄卒達の宴会でしょうか。組織におけるコミュニケーションの大切さを教えてくれます。

Nobody, literally nobody:

Me: What if I did a Guangyan and try to read (all) the manhua in Yiyong's room ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ

Here's short reviews of them, some of them are very Yiyong teenboy kind of manhua, and some of them have similar themes to onhct in general

Guangyan is correct, these are all completed works 🥺

上上籤 Loss of The Holy Seal by YinYin. Only 5 chapters, I read the whole thing. Plot: Heaven is in a frantic mess due to the Holy Seal being lost in the mortal realm. Which uncovers a story about a water goddess, Ling Yu, who feels helpless when she can not help humans who are suffering from natural disasters. Set in modern day with Chinese mythical elements.

地獄遊行 lit. Hell Parade (no official English title I can find) by 布克 L.buBu (the artist is on tumblr @/lbubu) Plot: Fantasy setting. Protag Aili was born with incredible magician abilities compared to a lot of normals but he seems to be uninterested in his magician abilities to save the world.

異人茶跡 Formosa Oolong Tea by 張季雅 Kiya. Plot: The story revolves around the endeavours of John Dodd, a Scottish merchant, and his comprador Li Chunsheng, during the Qing Dynasty. It explores their significant contributions to the growth and establishment of the tea industry in northern Taiwan. This one is pretty good, if you're tea drinker this is some good history!

狗臉的歲月─記1629梯 My Life As A Dog by 李鴻欽 Li Hong Chin. Plot: The main protagonist enlists in the army and tells a story of his time there. This one isn't my thing but Yiyong probably likes a bit of a "lad" comic.

閻王帖 Invitation of Yama by 柚子 You Zih. This one is fun I like it, it reminds me of Hoozuki No Reitetsu and Fukigen Na Mononokean. The protagonist possesses Ying Yang eyes meaning he can see ghosts. After an accident, he meets a guy who wears a mask and is a worker in the underworld. Mask guy's weapon is a massive calligraphy brush!

無名歌 lit. Untitled Song by ROCKAT 搖滾貓. This one is on webtoon! Protagonist Taiyang had a rock music dream, now as a "failure" adult he works in an entertainment company as a manager. He bumps into a girl busking on the street who happened to recognise him from his early music days and has every album (2) his band and him once produced. Then onwards he rediscovers his love for music... probably, I didn't finish it lol

and I couldn't be bothered for now to read the rest:

雲之獸：來自遠古的守護者 Beast of Clouds: The Guardian of Ancient Times by 漢寶包Hambuck

1661國姓來襲 Kongxinga Z by 李隆杰 Li Lung Chieh

九命人 Nine Lives Man by 姜振台 Ah Tui

FLAVORS魔廚 by 爆野家BAKUNOYA

Okay I did read this one though, even though I'm not sure if Yiyong has it or not:

守娘 Tan-Tsiu-Niu by 小峱峱 Nownow. This is a phenomenal heavy read. It's inspired by Tan Tsiu Niu, a women who lived in the Qing Dynasty that died of a tragic murder. Story has themes of folklore, ghosts and superstitions. Main protagonist Jie Niang grew up in a family who did not force foot binding onto her, however that caused a lot of gossip around her "big feet" and how she could ever get married off like that. Through an incident of a women in her village, she begins to uncover what horrors the villagers have been doing to baby girls and women. Let's just say I'm not the same person after reading this.

(I shall update the reviews whenever I find time to finish the rest (●'◡'●)
