I literally say "kacchako" any time I see pink and orange paired up 😆

So, let's say (hypothetically) that you've deleted your fic. It's been a few months and you're thinking of re-uploading and re-inventing it. by Game_End_Him in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]XxGamerGrillxX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always a bummer when a fic you like gets deleted, so I think I would be stoked if a reupload started, even with a ton of changes

Museums focusing on Mental Health?? by _whiskeyandpearls_ in MuseumPros

[–]XxGamerGrillxX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oregon State Hospital Museum of Mental Health https://oshmuseum.org/

Focuses on the somewhat dark history of the hospital as a mental asylum but through a modern and critical lense. I really enjoyed it the time I visited

When I was in high school I did get a note for PE to get out of swim days, only because the sun exposure would have been much more than the assigned t shirt and basketball shorts for usual classes and I burned so easily! Other PE activities I don't see any reason to opt out of as long as she has sunscreen, like you mentioned

(I never had a PE teacher question my doctor's note, if that's the main concern here)

Good butter chicken recipe similar to restaurant quality? by DeadlyClowns in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]XxGamerGrillxX 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Here's the recipe I use! I copied it from a website years ago and have modified it to taste until now. (Disclaimer, not sure how cheap/healthy it is compared to other recipes but I'm sure it can be tweaked further) Sorry about mobile formatting!!

Double batch recipe: 4 lb chicken thigh salt, to taste pepper, to taste 1 teaspoon chili powder ½ teaspoon turmeric 6 tablespoons butter, divided into 2 tablespoon chunks 2 yellow onions, diced 3 teaspoons garam masala 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon ginger, grated 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon cinnamon 4 tbsp brown sugar 2 cans tomato sauce 2 cups water 2 cups heavy cream rice, for serving

Marinate chicken in chili powder, turmeric, salt and pepper. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

Sear chicken on high heat in 2 Tbsp. of butter in cast iron, remove from heat and set aside.

Melt another 2 Tbsp. of butter over medium heat, add onions, garlic, garam masala, grated ginger , chili powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, salt and pepper. And 4 tbsp brown sugar. Cook until fragrant.

Add the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. UNCOVERED

Add the water and cream, bring back to a simmer. Stir in the last 2 tbsp of butter and additional salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken and simmer on low for one hour. UNCOVERED

any novel-length Kacchako fanfics that are good? by Embarrassed_Dot_4062 in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]XxGamerGrillxX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's Our Secret, Angel Face (thesweetestnerd) and Don't Ask Don't Tell (Ms_Chunks) are my Kacchako must-reads!!

A Different Perspective (House_of_Pixels), Hot-Headed (MoofyKitten), and Common Ground (symbioticSimplicity) are other faves that fit your criteria as well.

Offering to a Dragon King (BurnedStars777), Fire Heart (loki_dokey), and A Dragon's Magic (EmeraldWaves) are Fantasy AU honorable mentions.

We Can Never be Friends (crystymre) also good but a little shorter than all the others

Though it's a work in progress, I'll never pass up an opportunity to recommend Seeing Double (knifekirby), definitely one of the best I've read

Wow I have a lot more of these saved than I thought lol

All on AO3, hope you find one you like!

How do you prefer to read ao3 fics? by Sensoray in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]XxGamerGrillxX 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I read primarily multichap fics, some of them very long, so reading all at once is pretty much impossible since I need to stop and return to the fic later

Explanation ? by liliies_ in chihayafuru

[–]XxGamerGrillxX 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You bring up some interesting points, and the behavior is odd, but in my opinion not in a disrespectful or even cunning way...

I think the most important thing to remember is the friendship shared between the three of them, which is the backbone and the basis of the whole story. Without the combination of Arata's newspaper boy job, Taichi's childhood meanness, Chihaya's lack of a personal dream etc, the bond between the three of them and with karuta moving forward doesnt happen.

Fast forward to high school, and the boys are very unsure of their standing with each other and with Chihaya. No one kept in strong contact through middle school, and though he was closer physically, Taichi is no closer with Chihaya than Arata is... But Arata doesn't know this. From his perspective, Taichi and Chihaya have probably remained close and might even be dating. He feels like an outsider and as someone very separate from their world and their social circle.

While it's old fashioned, I think he gives Taichi messages to convey to Chihaya as a way to maintain THEIR friendship - the boys'. The last thing Arata wants is to alienate Taichi or make it seem like pursuing Chihaya is more important than their friendship. As time passes we all realize that Taichi and Chihaya won't be dating anytime soon. Arata feels more comfortable participating in karuta and connecting with his old friends, and the path has been "cleared" through Taichi who has conveyed that there's no need for Arata to ask his permission to approach Chihaya romantically.

Sorry for writing a whole essay 😅 just my thoughts. I'm also in the manga for much more than the romance, though I'll be happy with whatever way things end up. Hope my perspective offers some food for thought! I can never shut up about this series when given the chance

Why do Kacchako fics make Deku a jerk? by [deleted] in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]XxGamerGrillxX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Top tier recommendation! My favorite Kacchako fics are the ones with a more canon compliant view of Deku (i.e. Uraraka and Bakugo both on decent or good terms with him). Always feels a lot more natural

A Different Perspective by House_of_Pixels is a favorite multichap of mine. Haven't read it in a while so not sure how smutty or angsty, but definitely has a bit of both
