Pay No Mind
aworldofsound replied to your post “in fifth grade, I decided to delete the pokemon diamond file I’d had…”
Why did you delete it?
getting bored with old save + started a new game = instant regret
incidentally and not at all related, my first starter was a piplup whom I named “waterplum”
i was seven don’t judge me
in fifth grade, I decided to delete the pokemon diamond file I’d had since I was like seven with +350 hours of gameplay.
needless to say, there was a lot of crying that night
I have never managed to beat the game since
in second grade, we had to do this project where we were supposed to find out about our “heritage” and “ancestry” or whatever and I, having missed like a week of school for whatever reason, came back the same day the presentations were supposed to be on
so come time to present, everybody else is talking about how they’re fifty shades of european (‘cept the like two black kids) and I don’t know what to do? when I present, I go up and I’m like “we’re chinese” and immediately sit down and honestly I don’t know why I’m telling you about this
drew some of these beautiful blackout selfies! so inspiring! will stream more later maybe! these are respectively from top to bottom angolanbae , taaterth0t , khadds & laninjapanama
TC:湯圓 SC:汤圆 tāng yuán
Tangyuan, a homophone of and frequent metaphor for reunion (团圆 tuán yuán) is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour. It’s cooked and served in boiling water (Some will put brown sugar and ginger). Tangyuan can be either small or large, filled or unfilled, sweet or salty. They are traditionally eaten during the Lantern Festival (the 15th also the last day of Chinese New Year celebration) and the Chinese Winter Solstice Day (冬至).
Historically, a number of different names were used to refer to tangyuan. During the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty, the name was officially settled as 元宵 yuán xiāo (derived from the 元宵节 Yuán xiāo jié , the Chinese name for Lantern Festival). Now the name “Yuanxiao” for this food is commonly used in northern China.
Traditional sweet fillings for tangyuan can be :
Black sesame paste - the most common filling
Red bean paste
Chopped and sugared peanuts, taros or yams.
Nowadays, both the fillings and glutinous rice coats are much more various in colors and flavors such as chocolate, green tea and many kinds of fruit flavors.
