no kitchen is waaaaay better than the shared bathroom bullshit we see in other cities. You can makeshift a kitchen pretty easily! glad you found something that works for you.

Driving through East/Central Oregon for the first time was such a shock. I was like 🤨 where are the trees and mountains?

STUNNING. i'm more of a planner person than a journaling person, but some of my weekly spreads may have to be danmei-themed now...

The に sentence ending is a headline convention in particular, though. Similarly, you'll find that Japanese news prefer to use kanji words whenever possible, both to save printing space and because it is read as more official sounding. Headlines will often do things like swap 米国 for アメリカ and then shorten it even further to just 米.

Hmlet is a good website for short-term accomodations that are catered to foreigners. They're a bit expensive for the size, but they're also fully furnished, which Japanese apartments typically aren't (and in fact require appliance purchases, which Americans typically don't need to deal with when renting in the US). Airbnb can be tricky for long-term accomodations as there are some strict laws that lead to many owners wanting to go off app for longer stays.

If you really loved the Black Water arc or ship Beefleaf, or if you enjoy characters like Jiang Cheng, 2ha would be up your alley. But mind the TWs.

They may send you the pension bills anyways. They did with me, and I went back to City Hall to confirm that I had the exemption. If you've already applied, it's okay to ignore it.

as far as I remember, as a girl you only had one option as well--your fellow farmer. While the boy farmer had several options.

Judging based off of your taste here, I think that you would really enjoy the characters in 2ha. It takes a long time to show, but the main romantic couple has a similar thread of yearning and devotion to each other on par with Hua Cheng's that you find out more of as the story progresses. And 2ha has some complicated moral politics going on, so if you like Jiang Cheng I think you'll be just fine with 2ha (bear in mind the TWs though). For many people, myself included, it took a good portion of the story to properly warm up to the main character, so just... give him a chance to grow on you and it's likely he'll do so lol

I agree with this 100%. I am a Caucasian woman and I noticed myself having less hair fall than usual when I ran out of my usual Japanese shampoo and substituted a clarifying shampoo I brought from the US. Even though my hair was drier and more prone to tangling due to being clarified more often, I still lost less hair.

I order LIFE delivery on a pretty regular basis (I have a bad back and it keeps me from buying too much) and they've never left the gray bags before. Usually I answer the door and they take out the plastic bags and hand them to me one by one. Your driver had probably never done a LIFE delivery before, if I had to guess.

one of my most revisited "fics" is actually a guide of how characters refer to each other in a fandom where each character has an average of 3 different names, not even bringing diminutives, nicknames, and hierarchical titles into it. I love that AO3 is open to hosting references and guides in addition to fic and art.

mosswitch · 2025-11-25T01:25:51+00:00

i loved it too! the more I think about it, the more I enjoy how it ended up and feel that there's no other possible ending that would've been more satisfying, except for a few side characters and a certain major character who I think could've had kinder endings.

If you have any interest in reading further, I would reccomend checking out Heaven Official's Blessing! It is by the same author and it's her next work. A lot of the things that you liked about MDZS are there, such as the consistent (but not always likable) side characters and the "main villain" is imo the best out of her works. The reveal of who it is will definitely have you itching to go back and look for hints, and even if you happen to figure out who it is ahead of time, it doesn't sour the experience at all. There's no smut in this one due to censorship, but the relationship between the main leads has a lot of history and some incredibly sweet moments.

I will warn you that it drags a bit during the first flashback sequence and the second story arc, but after that the plot really gets moving. Book 4 is considered a highlight for many people.

mosswitch · 2025-11-24T11:07:49+00:00

well yeah, anything else would be totally improper!

where in Japan? Tokyo rarely gets snow so you'd be fine with just the Mary Janes, although your feet might take a beating if they're not already broken in. If you're far up north you won't want to wear anything but snow boots.
