alarmingly porous

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

In America I ordered a milkshake and the young man turned it upside down over my head.

I did not move. A samurai does not flinch, even when the ice cream is above him and gravity is the law.

Nothing fell.

The cup hung there, upside down, defying the sky, and the boy held it over me with the calm of a man who has done this ten thousand times and buried his fear long ago.

This is the Blizzard. This is Dairy Queen.

If it falls, they told me, you get it free.

I understood at once. This was not dessert. This was an ordeal.

The boy was not showing off. He was swearing an oath, with his own arm, that he had made the thing thick enough to hang against the earth, and he was betting the price of it on his honor.

The flip is not a trick.

It is a vow.

In my land a smith proved his blade by cutting.

Here a boy of seventeen proves his by turning it over a stranger's head and looking him in the eye while the whole line waits to see if he lied.

He did not lie.

He set it upright, handed it to me, and said "there you go, man," then turned to the next customer as if he had not just gambled his good name across a counter.

I tipped him everything in my pocket.

He tried to give it back. He said it was just a Blizzard.

I told him it was not just a Blizzard.

I could not explain the rest in English, and there was a line, and he was busy.

So I bowed instead.

He said, "You too, man."

That answered nothing I had said.

It answered everything I had felt.

日本だとHaloはマイナー作品だけどアメリカだと大人気だったから、アメリカのティーンは友達と画面分割でHaloやりながら冷凍ピザとマウンテンデューを味わう青春を送ってた人が多いんやろうなぁ...　本当に羨ましい。俺も2000年代のアメリカのティーンになりたい....

No offense to Heretic Astartes who siphon the powers of the Warp but I would personally never let myself be corrupted by Chaos. My conviction to fight the Long War is too pure. Pure enough perhaps to accept the blessings of the Dark Pantheon

the second best feeling in the whole world is when a girl runs her fingers through your hair. the best feeling is definitely besting a foe in a test of swordsmanship. he was careless, a lunge too far, an opening for my blade. you were formidable but never stood a chance
