And now I want to live in the reality where there's a whole series about the zany misadventures around "Blackwood and Stallion: Luxury Occult Hotel and Equine Racetrack"

Do BB!Jay and Poppy ever become friends again? Obviously there's... the Whole Kits Thing but IDK I just like seeing them be friends. I think they should have been friends in canon but god forbid Jayfeather hangs out with anyone except the Three (and Hollyleaf before she dies and then she dies again)
It doesn't happen for years. Poppyfrost wanted to move on SO bad, and she's chronically avoidant of any legitimate problems. If left to her own devices, she would have kept dodging him until the day she died.
(Poppy with her garden like "I Just Want To Grill.")
I think what changed was Dovewing leaving.
Poppyfrost is one of the last people who talks to her before she Hits Da Bricks, not knowing that she was close to a boiling point. She was FINALLY going to be brave about it and chat with her 'niece' after being distant her whole life so far. And uh... it didn't end well.
Too little too little too late, really. But it killed her, that when she finally mustered up the courage it basically pushed Dovewing over the edge.
But after that, with Dovewing leaving completely and disavowing her garbage family for how they all hurt her or failed to protect her, Jayfeather can't keep doing this shit. Poppyfrost avoiding him and refusing to talk about it
He KNOWS it's just as hard on her as it is on him. And that her breath catches uncomfortably when she looks at him. How long are they going to live like this? Badly pretending that nothing happened while they're both obviously in the middle of a big mess of their mutual making?
I haven't written on it yet but I imagine he cornered her while alone, and ended up actually, legitimately chasing her down. Like,
"Poppyfrost. You're bottling something up again."
"Aaaaaahaha idk what you mean. What. Huh."
"Yes you do, this is getting absolutely ridiculous. I'm blind not stupid, you can't pretend our secret codebreaking lovechild didn't--"
"BYE"
"What do you MEAN BYE IM- HEY!! POPPYFROST!!!!"
Something about the way that EVERY time Poppyfrost turns her head, Jayfeather is there. Once a comfort, then an inescapability, and someday... back to something comfortable.
Never the way it was, but better than it is when she's bolting through the woods trying to pretend her problems don't exist.

The family Reunion Dinner (团圆饭) and ancestor worship are the two of the most important highlights of the celebrations on Chinese New Year Eve. The Lunar New Year is traditionally ushered in at 11 pm, but many families, especially those in Singapore, have adopted 12 am as the norm.
除夕夜,送祝福,团圆饭,多幸福。健康的如意果,平安的蹄髈,快乐的烤鸭,幸福的银耳莲子粥,还有吉祥的米饭,伴你除夕夜快乐不断,幸福绵绵!
Tumblr media
This year Reunion Dinner (年夜饭) we had it much earlier than previous year as otherwise my brother would not be able to participate due to his company sending him for oversea training trip. Both my brothers had suggested Lai Huat Signatures (来發) at Gambas Crescent for this year dinner gathering. Requested one of my brother to make reservation for dinner at 6pm.
Tumblr media
When we arrived, the dining area was almost full as more customers continued to stream into the room. There were three menus on the table – Ala carte, Steamboat and Chinese New Year Set Menu. We went for the former as the CNY menu were prized at S$318+ (5-6 pax), S$518+ (8-10 pax) and S$888+ (8-10 pax) respectively and not value for money. Below are some sample pages from the ala carte menu.

We sipped on our drinks and waited patiently because the kitchen is busy with the packed crowds. Once the first course was served, the rest followed one after another in quick succession. The Salted Egg Chicken (咸蛋鸡丁) with its boneless chunks of meat was deep-fried with curry leaves and tossed in a salted egg yolk mixture of chilli, butter and evaporated milk. The savoury sweet chicken is crispy with taste of salted egg and mild spiciness.

One of my brothers ordered this large portion of their famous Sambal Promfret (叁峇鲳鱼). The whole deep-fried fish was covered with fiery looking red sambal chilli paste. Was expecting the sambal to be spicy hot but surprisingly, the Scoville heat level was well within our limit and it actually tasted delicious with the rice white. The poor fish on the other hand was fried to a crisp and pretty hard to get the flesh off the bones. I suggested this Coffee Pork Ribs (咖啡排骨) as I love coffee. While the boneless pork is tender and fragrant with authentic flavour profile of coffee, it seems to lack some kind of oomph to bring this dish to the next level. Decent and perfectly edible but not good enough for me.

Menus are from Lai Huat Signatures.

scrolling through a low contrast image pdfs of entire novels borrowed for one hour periods in the internet archive like an old man trudging through a snow blizzard briefly considering taking a screenshot of all 292 pages and printing the screenshots because i never thought i cared that much and in fact usually prefer ebooks but i would do anything for just one good piece of paper to annotate right now. anything

I just found out that a tilt table test isn't like, getting tilted back and forth for a while, you lay there for thirty minutes and then they tilt you upright REAL QUICK, im gonna fail that test so hard lmao
#at first I'm like hmmmm idk if I meet the criteria for orthostatic intolerance idkkk#and tested my HR a few times from laying/standing with a few minutes in between#but if it's THIRTY MINS at rest before they flip me?#I'm fucked lmao#the biggest increase from sitting to standing that I've seen in the last two days#was 24bpm#that's like...not the worst. it's outside the normal range but it's not BAD#it's not pre syncope levels of bad#but I've also deliberately increased my salt intake ever since the PT said POTS to me on Tuesday so#hmmmmm#sometimes I feel like my fucking around and finding out isn't very science based and k can't possibly accurately diagnose myself and then#this stuff happens...#I'm so fucking tired bro#I got so confused and frustrated about a really stupid and simple thing today that I just started crying#I've been crying a LOT in the last two weeks#BUT#only two more shifts and then I'm free from this job forEVER!!!#and I can focus on my health or lack thereof#I don't expect cures or even really effective treatments at this point I just want to know WHY#like WHAT is happening with my body bro#it's never worked particularly well or normal but the last time I felt physically healthy was early 2022#it's been almost TWO years since I felt healthy and I'm 25#and I feel like it's getting progressively worse. not by huge increments but enough#maybe that's just symptoms stacking? idk#maybe it's just extended fatigue without really feeling rested#I have no clue which is why I would loooove to know bro#sigh#little Victorian boy wasting disease

jc/jgy antis when characters are backed into a corner and forced to make difficult decisions between ethics and survival:
Tumblr media
#jgy tag#mdzs talk#jiang cheng#canon jiang cheng#salt is salt#you understand how absurd it is to expect anyone to lay down and die right?#honestly this was more of a jgy thought at first but it applies to jc too#choosing survival doesn’t make you a bad person!#if jgy did everything the ‘moral’ way he would be dead in a ditch after being used by that jin commander#until either he sticks up for himself and is killed directly or indirectly or until the day he dies waiting for recognition to come#wen ruohan wouldn’t be dead and ​they would have lost the war#or as a jin: if he had refused his father he would have been cast out on the streets to die in ignominy or dead many times over#if jc did everything the ‘moral’ way you want him to then he would have immediately plunged the cultivation world right back into war#because you can’t just double down on a direct attack on another sect’s disciples and expect everything to be fine#you either suck it up and apologize and try to put things back the way they were#or you say ‘actually my disciple was right to murder yours and also fuck you. i do what i want.’#and immediately all the other sects think back to wwx going ‘i could easily kill all of you if i wanted to’#and going ‘clearly the jiang have let wwx’s power corrupt them and now they think they can do whatever they want and walk all over us.’#‘they need to be stopped.’#like wwx caused this mess!!! you can’t skirt around that!!! he jumped straight to murder and surprise surprise that’s not a great solution!#and thus: jc doing the ‘moral’ thing and backing up wwx’s actions ends in even more death and bloodshed.#congrats! your shortsightedness and blindness to wwx’s recklessness has led you to believe that ‘oh well if they just explained—‘#NO. THATS NOT HOW THESE PEOPLE THINK.#THEYRE ANXIOUS AND SCARED OF THINGS THEY DONT UNDERSTAND.#all THEY see is a guy with creepy and blasphemous powers suddenly turning against them#and instead of his sect leader reining it in he goes ‘he’s right actually.’#how could that ​NOT be taken as tacit endorsement of all of wwx’s other actions??#god you all are so stupid and you don’t even realize it#you just brainlessly go ‘IF HE DIDNT DIE TRYING HE DIDNT TRY HARD ENOUGH’

Ah, yes. The Stress has fucked up my back/shoulder muscles so bad that any pressure on my arms or sometimes just moving them makes them fall asleep.
So, you know, that's fun.
