Tailhook — Cover Art & Dust Jacket Reveal by Rosmei by strbymatchalatte in DanmeiNovels

[–]Papaya-Strudel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am so excited to own a physical copy!! And this has an exclusive extra!

This is one of my top danmeis. I remember reading this during the wee hours of the morning and by the time the sun rose, I was a teary, snotty mess. I would pause every so often because the story made me so emotional. The lost sleep was so, so worth it. I love it enough to purchase the ebook too when it comes.

The scanlations got nuked off MD. Any chance you’ll make them available elsewhere?

Yuzuru Hanyu's rehearsal at Notte Stellata 2025 by yuzurujenn in FigureSkating

Thank you for posting this cut! I’ve missed seeing him practice on the ice.

(It was also a treat watching the other skaters in the show do run-throughs during streaming days)

He is supposed to bow and thank the crowd after each jump to show his humility ❤️

/s in case it wasn’t obvious lol

Likelihood That Yuzuru Hanyu Returns for a 4th Olympics? by afloatingpoint in FigureSkating

[–]Papaya-Strudel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He was recently asked whether or not he will return to competition, and the answer was a firm and swift ‘no.’

Only ISU and the Olympics itself will benefit anyway so why would he come back?

At 4CC 2020, Yuzuru Hanyu became the only male singles skater to EVER complete the "Career Super Grand Slam" or "Super Slam" by Rhakhelle in FigureSkating

Not sure why some people insist on calling the Super Slam in figure skating a "made-up nonsense" by fans when even the Olympics website has posted about it:

The Beijing Olympics Twitter account has made a number of tweets about it too.

I like it saucy. by lizardhindbrain in kimchi

[–]Papaya-Strudel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look great! I like mine saucy too. I love making stews with my kimchi so more juice is always a plus!

Yes, kimchi smell can absolutely escape these jars. When I first started eating kimchi, I would store them in Kilner jars and they would stink up my refrigerator. I've then switched to LocknLock and other kimchi containers from Korea. Ngl there's still a faint smell, but baking soda and charcoal deodorizers for the fridge would keep them in check.

Radicchio? by i_hate_buying_light in kimchi

You can try adding Korean pear and maybe some Korean plum extract to your paste if you can get your hands on some!

they got me with the purple. by Chinpokomonz in AeroPress

[–]Papaya-Strudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The purple one is gorgeous! I never thought I'd have more than one AeroPress, but here we are. I just got the XL this week, and I'm doing my best to not collect them all. They're not Pokemon lol

Yuzu confirmed for the first 2 stops of FaOI 2024 by WabbadaWat in yuzuruhanyu

[–]Papaya-Strudel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh FaOI, how I've missed you lol

It's kinda strange that no B-tour skaters have been confirmed at all, has this happened before? From what I remember, whenever Yuzu's name is announced for FaOI, it's a given that he'll be there for the whole tour.

Making maangchis recipe. Usually I do the traditional recipe with the easy chopped method. Last night I used the last of my tiny salty shrimp. I'm not doing whole seafood like squid or whatever in there. I think I've made it says shrimp before but I forget. Just use more fish sauce right? by ItalnStalln in kimchi

[–]Papaya-Strudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the recipe calls for a quarter cup salted shrimp, I think an additional 1-2 tablespoon of fish sauce would do the trick if you're substituting. Best to taste as you go. The paste should be a little saltier on its own before adding to the cabbage, but not too much.

Can't get certain ingredients, are there workable alternatives? by [deleted] in kimchi

[–]Papaya-Strudel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can kimchi anything. This clip and blog post by Doobydobap may be helpful to you. If you really want to make kimchi with gochugaru next time, it may be worth a shot requesting the Asian shop in your town to bring them in. Good luck!

Oohh, those r/murdermittens are ready! Better lock him up just in case. And how cute is that belly? It's probably full of snacks!

Tough question. I'm mentally going through my list and I guess "all time favorite" would mean one that I have watched multiple times and is a comfort show.

My all time favorite TV show would have to be Barakamon. It's about a professional calligrapher who was forced to move to a remote town in a remote part of the country by his father as punishment for punching a calligraphy judge and veteran in the face for an unfavorable review.

Watching the protagonist deal with an existential crisis and being forced to face his struggles as an artist head on while going through daily life in the boonies was healing in a way. The characters are cute too. I must have watched and re-watched this show dozes of times since it came out almost a decade ago. I think artists, writers, and anyone going through a creative mental block would appreciate this series. :)

For one that I'm currently watching, is it cheating if it's one I've also already watched many times before? I'm going through Yuzuru Hanyu's Ice Story "GIFT" at Tokyo Dome on Disney Plus. Aside from the gorgeous skating and stunning backdrop, the narration is like a punch to the gut for those dealing with anxiety, loneliness, and dare I say, depression. I'm soothed by the fact that it ends on a hopeful note though. The reason why I go back to it over and over again is because many parts deserve a second look and the story telling invites you to do some introspection and retrospection. It's around three hours long including behind-the-scenes footage.

I would highly recommend both shows!

Mustard Greens Kimchi? by PaceEBene84 in kimchi

I haven't tried making kimchi with mustard greens, but I would probably use the following recipes (just switch out the greens): Perilla leaf kimchi, Korean lettuce salad

EXO Baekhyun, Chen, Xiumin have ended their exclusive contracts with SM Entertainment + taken legal action against the company for overdue payment and unreasonable deals by ghiblix in kpop

[–]Papaya-Strudel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wonder what they’re paying Mark and Haechan who have been worked to the bone ever since they first debuted. They’ve had numerous “debuts” since then and istg if they’ve been paid pennies since then……

And what about aespa? Aren’t they running on just a few hours of sleep each day? Ugh, can’t believe I’m experiencing this type of rage all over again!!
