You should try adding dashi powder to instant ramen! It's just a fish stock and it adds just a little bit of kick to the ramen that really amps up the flavor. You don't even need that much, just a tablespoon/15g
augh i cant find it anywhere here!! but ill keep looking for it,,

Spring Semester - Twist of Fate (Part 2)
[Malaysia Narrating]
Desperate, I resorted to banging and kicking on his door. The police turned up, yet their hands were tied; they couldn't help. They warned me to leave, or I'd be arrested. Overwhelmed, I went back to my hotel and called for backup. Usually, I handled Pharaoh alone, but this time, I needed help. Andrei and Jaxan arrived by the end of the night.

i am so thankful for fandom.
i am so thankful for the gifsets, the fanfic, the fanart, the memes, the overanalysis of every little aspect of a piece of media, the group chats, the private spamming in dms, the openness towards making our own representation, the queer and neurodivergent safety that is created, the lack of shaming for intense emotional reactions or for being obsessive, the community aspect and discussion, etc.
and i am especially thankful for the validation, the closure, the healing, the solidarity, and the connection that fan spaces can provide. i’m thankful that i can have so much content for all of my interests, that i can feel that fulfilment of my deep desire to enjoy the things i love fully. i’m thankful that after i finish a show, a book, a movie, anything, and i’m genuinely upset, in tears, or maybe even having a trauma response (ex. media with mental illness or grief themes), i can come here and laugh. if i’m angry, if i’m ecstatic, if i’m unsatisfied, if i’m so anxious i don’t know what to do after i finish something, i can come here and know i’m not alone.
fandom is NOT all good. the discourse, the gatekeeping, the lack of boundaries when real life people are involved, and yeah, a lot of it enables unhealthy relationships with media. so many obsessions i’ve had have been toxic (*cough* supernatural *cough*), and being a part of fandoms didn’t exactly help me get out of that. however that can coexist with the fact that having other people as passionate as i was made me feel so much less alone and to this day gives me a safe space to release what is in my mind.
basically, thank you. if you’re on this hellsite, if you’re a creator within fandoms, a commenter, or just a lurker contributing with likes, you contribute to people like me feeling less alone, and i’m really glad you exist.
