That pull when they're hot enough. Damn. Better yet, cheese onion rings.

I first learned about those from randomly watching a YouTube video about Korean street foods. This video, actually. It has a lot of "oddly satisfying" qualities. However, no English captions, so my husband and I also had fun trying to figure out exactly what they were making and what the ingredients were. {= ) For instance, the grassy-looking substance in the first bit. Not sure if that's a sort of green onion, or maybe sea grass? It shows up again in a later segment featuring a woman running a soup shop, who happens to remind us of my mother-in-law.

Anyway, I ended up Googling "Korean corn dog," since that's what it looks like to an American, and thus learned about the astonishing deep-fried cheese and/or meat on a stick dipped in batter and rolled in potato. It sounds amazing, and also like an instant heart attack. ^_^

What seems to be a dessert that looks like a giant waffle filled with whipped cream and perhaps chocolate, too. I dunno how you even approach the eating of one of those!

I think we correctly identified the fancy mochi, at least...

What you have to understand is that while you do fry things by dunking them in really, really hot boiling oil (battering first a lot of the time), you don't keep them there that long, really. You dunk it quickly, then pull it out. So it's absolutely possible to fry things and end up with a frozen inside. This is usually an indication that you're doing it wrong... unless you're frying ice cream. Or butter.

We do have fried and grilled mozzarella here though!

Don’t you mean RC? Agents don’t live in palaces unless they’ve retired.

Battered griddle-fried red bean paste jelly (kintsuba) is a traditional Japanese dessert that's existed since the Edo period.

After spending many days and weeks intensively studying the PPC, I'm driven to attempt my first permission request. Here is the first fic I want to spork – riddled with technical errors, boring content, a stupid premise, bad characterization, and more image upload abuse than you can shake a stick at, with many of the images being other people's fanarts. It helps that the author themself admitted to being unable to describe and keep up with canon characterization – and much thanks to my beta Midnight.

Also, how do they fry butter without it, y'know, melting?

What is the purpose of deep-frying butter? It's hilariously unhealthy and doesn't even taste good on its own! It it some sort of mark of honor like climbing Mount Everest? "Haha, I'm one of the only people to eat a whole stick of deep-fried butter and survive!"

I do not understand the Minnesotan ways.

I never went.

Had Fried Oreos once though. Don't know how I feel about them.

Then again, schools do serve some...interesting food.

For those who may not be aware, the Minnesota State Fair is (in)famous for deep-frying everything. Up to and including butter on a stick. I kid you not. Since I'm technically a native Minnesotan, I get to make fun of them. ^_^

And the JJBA canons have no problem with a wizard in their universe?

Wow, someone who loves fanfic finding us through a friend's recommendation to read the Original Series? That's lovely—just like old times. My oldbie's heart is all aflutter. Well-come indeed! ^_^

Here, have the Original Series playlist to accompany your reading, when you have time. Some songs are NSFW, so be careful. Info about it is here.

TBH, I don't think so. I'll be getting a list of old URLs to update from the wiki's external links search, and I can get the new ones to put in their place from the source (and check said links in the process). Since I don't think I can run multiple find and replace operations at once (I seem to recall trying without success, though maybe PEBKAC), I don't know if there's any particular benefit to collecting all of them in a table.

The format would just be find X, replace with Y, anyway. I'm not clever enough with this sort of thing to do anything fancier. I might be able to use regexes to find either http or https at the start of a URL if I review the rules as they apply to AWB, but that's about it. {= )

~Neshomeh

Do they intentionally choose to use it in the fic, or do they only realize later? Also, (gets Cuppa flashbacks)

I can put one together pretty easily if you give me an idea of the format.

Sorry ‘bout that.

So sorry for the late reply! I’ve been up to my eyes in school work. XD But I see a break in the storm and have a moment to respond.

Let’s see... my pronouns are she/her, and I found you guys after starting to read the original series (though I’ve been delayed in finishing it because of my schedule as of late). I personally always loved writing and creating characters, and the idea of going on missions to fix problems within a storyline with friends sounded like so much fun! It’s also a great way to improve writing skills and receive constructive criticism. I’m always looking to improve.

Besides, I’m always up for a good fan fiction. Especially if it’s collaborative.

Peanut butter is on the list already, but apparently it wasn't crunchy when first sighted. *shudder*

Since I'm trying to collect references for these things, link, please? (Or you can add it yourself if you're comfortable doing so!)

~Neshomeh, who is finding the backposts of the Weepingcock LJ comm (NSFW if that's not obvious) to be a hilarious if mentally scarring read. ^_^

It wouldn't just be painful, it'd be super tedious to clean up. Well, without magic, at least.

(Also, I think I missed your introduction post, so hello!)

I read a fic a while back where Draco and Harry (yeah, it was one of those) used chunky peanut butter for a lube. Not the smooth kind, the chunky kind. Sounds painful, and extremely unhygienic.
