아무리 해도 부족해 💯🔥 It's not enough

가자 💫 Let's go!

🌸💖🇰🇷

코피, 피자, 초콜릿, & 퍼즐 🧩

I'm going to have a massive stroke 😵‍💫

I had to read that with my own eyes 😵

it's just puzzle with a Korean accent 😫

...

I know Korean doesn't have an F or a Z and the whole L/R business but F me

my real name can not be pronounced in Korean. My first, middle, and last names. All just 404, letters not found in 한골

it's killing me

still Lyn sounds so pretty in Korean as 린 so that's enough I guess, 린 💝

a Korean friend once decided my name should be 린 안니 Lyn Annie. After reviewing my options, I think he might have had a point 😅

Naliaz isn't my name, it's a Tolkien name I made up to play video games

날이앗 Naliaz (translates to "it's a day" according to Google)

if someone calls me 스테파니 I'm going to go feral 🤬 borrowing from German for a second, Stephanie is ßef-ani phonetically. the ST is not S-T, it's a sharp S, like ß or possibly ㅆ , and the PH is a soft elongated F. the PH comes from the greek π , it's not P.

As for my last name. I've never ever heard a Korean successfully pronounce Layland. Closest a Korean can get is

래 랑 . Trust me on this. I know my own name. I know it sounds weird. it's English from England. the AY is just ㅐ , the ND is not N-D, it's truncated N. Just think of ND as NG and replace it with ㅇ . Koreans cannot deal with the diphthongs (ST, PH, ND) in my name 😭

ETA 알룬니엘 Arruniel which is also a made up name for RPGs

I just made 김밥 for the first time by myself 💖

the first time I had kimbap 김밥 a friend of mine made it for me. He used ham, carrot, cucumber, and cream cheese. He told me it was supposed to be finger sandwich style, since I was English. Long story. We can get to that another day.

The next time I had it, it had green onion, wasabi, and an unidentified fish. It came from the corner store in a small town between Seoul and Busan.

The next time I had it was yesterday, it had soy soaked ramen noodles, and veggies.

I've never seen 2 people fill a roll the same way.

I watched Cheap Lazy Vegan, Big Ocean, and the cooking channel.

I decided to take inspiration from my old friend, but since I'm vegan, I switched the ham for tofu 두부 and the cream cheese for hummus.

I added some kimchi and green onion, traditional Asian additions

I quite liked it, so I guess that's my take on gimbap 김밥

I couldn't get my hands on pickled radish. I had mashed avocado and black bean dip with 고추장 red pepper paste, and lemon 🍋 juice, but I didn't use it.

the worst thing you can do is let this world steal your whimsy. protect your whimsy at all cost. don’t let these joyless doofuses steal your magic

The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"

[caspercryptid]

On the one hand it's a bit of a pick me up in a dark place to know that this will pass because it has passed before on the other hand sometimes it isn't entirely a pleasant thought to go "wow, I used to feel like this all the time. That was pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad right now too also."

[caspercryptid]

Someday your current baseline will be the sort of thing you consider A Really Bad Day. It does get better.

I'm making lettuce 🥬 wraps again. My mother is not a fan of Korean food, but she likes a good stir fry and I'm making way more rice and lentils than 2 people can eat. So I'm going to stir fry the rice and lentils with: frozen broccoli, carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers. I threw the frozen vegetables in with the rice and lentils while they cooked so the vegetables will thaw before I stir fry them.

I'm stir frying them in Jayone Korean BBQ sauce, but if it tastes like it needs a bit more, I can add: lime juice, celery salt, and garlic. I won't need the soy oil unless the rice sticks to the pan.

I'm cooking everything in one skillet / wok.

I'm using sauces and stuff from the last time we ordered take out. I like the duck sauce, and I get to use this stuff up. Lettuce wraps don't need spoons, but why not?

by the way, my mother is ill and can't assemble her own, that's why I put hers together for her. I know lettuce wraps are usually "some assembly required". it's an accessibility thing

I updated Fedora KDE today and after the log in screen, I just had a black screen. I left it for half an hour, nothing. I tried to revert to the last versions 7 and 6, same problem. Sorry, but I tried all morning and I'm just going to reinstall Ubuntu Pop.

I have a copy of KDE in my back pocket. As soon as it's stable again, I'd like to try it again. Someone let me know when the next update comes out 🥹

[lnaliazmcithilien]

watch out world! I got 8 hours sleep last night and I'm actually feeling refreshed for once! I think today is the day I make the stir fry lettuce wraps again 🍖🍚🥬 I might even get brave enough to make the 김밥

not my first time in fandom spaces. bias is familiar, like your favorite. biss wrecker, the surprise favorite. then there is the bias you never expected, the long shot or dark horse.

but I haven't seen the kpop version of never would I ever or never ever. that's the opposite of a bias. it could be the band member you can't stand or the one that's just too cute to view in that way. for whatever reason, he's never going to be your bias.

not that a bias necessarily has to be anything but platonic, but it seems like for a lot of kpop fans bias is romantic or sexy

I guess I'm glad I haven't run into never-ever discourse, because that gets toxic rather quick

but kpop has a name for everything, and I know there's a kpop version of never -ever and I want to know what it is, I'm nosy 🤭

fair warning, sometimes never-evers turn into dark horses 🫣😳 that's always fun to watch

the way the internet has eroded the barrier between creator and fanbase sucks beyond words and while most discussion of this puts the focus on the parasociality aspect i do think its equally if not more important to point out that most if not all creators would benefit greatly from logging the fuck off

[shovelwareyaoi]

if people read your work in a way you don't want them to or god forbid critique aspects of it that is not something you can stop nor should you try to sometimes people will discuss your work in a way that isn't 100% validating at all times and if you do not want that to happen you don't have to put it out into the world at all

[shovelwareyaoi]

like i don't know how but it feels like online at large has forgotten than criticism is a normal part of releasing a piece of media into the world it is perfectly normal for people to criticize or dislike something and yet every time something new and popular gets criticism you get thousands of bad thinkpieces that all look like this
