Quotober #16:

Donnie lethargically furrowed his brow.

…Maybe… his esoteric future was not so dissimilar; despite the sepulchral shroud of depression and the irrevocable physical and mental trauma, there was still… hope, just beneath the surface.

Heh, what if I made a habit of only ever watching full episodes/duels of the VRAINS dub just to see how my gay crushes are represented?

Ha just kidding!

EVERYONE'S FAVORITE COSMIC JOKE

@stuckstucktrolls

ok so apparently, from what i was reading, is that "milk" is legally defined as a "lacteal secretion" (ie. straight from the tit). the FDA defines milk as "Food products made exclusively or principally from the lacteal secretion obtained from one or more healthy milk-producing animals."

the issue here now is that Muscle Milk cannot legally use Milk in its name, because it is not Legally Milk or Dairy. to circumvent this, it must add a disclaimer that it is Non-Dairy. now that it's added that tag, it can call itself muscle milk essentially in this fashion:

MUSCLE MILK*

*not actually milk

the flipside of this is now that when poor dumb idiots like me see "dairy-free," we assume that must mean milk-free. legally, it IS milk-free, because it is not Straight From The Tit. but for all other intents and purposes, it may as well be milk because it contains, essentially, the same proteins.

there are claims across the internet from third-party sources that Muscle Milk is lactose-free due to the separation of proteins from milk. this *points at a bathroom i've just blown up* is blatantly false. their website itself clarifies that their products may affect those who are lactose intolerant (as it has for me).

has this always been the case? well, some quick research shows that CytoSport (muscle milk parent company) and Nestle got into a little corporate scuffle back in 2009. CytoSport sued Nestle because of their advertising, which misled consumers to believe Nestle products were healthy. in return, Nestle countersued, saying that CytoSport's advertisements are misleading, causing consumers to mistakenly believe their products are lactose-free.

in the end, it seems neither company wanted to risk an FDA investigation into their own advertisement practices (cementing the idea that they DEFINITELY know what theyre doing, for me), and together agreed to dismiss their accusations.

so, long story short? if you're lactose intolerant or allergic to milk protein, you probably shouldnt drink anything with "milk" in the title

muscle milk advertising their shit as "dairy free" but it still has the milk protein in it?!?! girl what is dairy if NOT the milk protein

the long awaited piece of my pumpkin head wiz is here! if you dont know what im talking about or need a refresher, here is the link to the post!

i love this blorbo so much and there was soooo much more i couldve typed and went more in depth on but i was scared it was going to be way too long lol. but either way im so happy to put this out! and if you guys have any questions or just wanna talk about it feel free to send me a message or an ask! :)

I’ve been lost for sometime now. Wandering the spiral in search for a reason. Doesn’t really matter what exactly it is, I just need it. At least that’s what my heart tells me, still beating after all these years. Aching for the earlier days when times were simpler. When days were filled with discovery and wonder. Finding ancient civilizations deep underwater, helping a king back to his throne; it all seems so simple now.

The only thing I wish I never found was shadow magic. No one tells you what it can exactly do to you. They just tell you it’s dangerous and if not handled carefully can come back to bite you. And that’s the extent of what you get. A cautionary tale without anything to give it cause. Not until it happens to you do truly understand it. Clueless until you find a completely different being staring back at you. So disfigured you fall backwards out of horror, scurrying away like a cat chasing a mouse.

Forevermore after that you’re changed. Even if you came out mostly unscathed, your mind never works the same. The spiral seems much darker and dim than you initially thought. All the good times seem to fade quickly into obscurity when faced with the horror that was created from your own hands.

That’s how it was for a long time at least. A seemingly unending bout of despair where the only culprit was myself. Spiraling so deep that it makes The Hive seem bright and cheery. But in those moments, where you are at the bottom all alone, do you find the thing you needed most.

In my case, it was a pumpkin. It may seem silly, why would a regular Halloween pumpkin be my saving grace. But the absurdity of it and finding it all alone felt too fitting. Maybe we can journey together and find new purpose. Grow past what we were made to do, and do what we wanted to do.

So I don the pumpkin, not so much as a mask, but as starting anew. No longer am I “The Young Wizard”. I am just Colby.

Lines from Hyacinth (what I’ve written so far, at least) that, for various reasons, I really like

“Humans always pay the price/For their gods’ lust and vice.” -The Moirai, “Prologue: The String of Fate”

“You mortals love your tragedies/Perhaps they offer some relief/From the cruel hands of reality?” -The Moirai, “Prologue: The String of Fate”

“Apollo, by Hera, you’re acting a fool!” -Apollo, “Fall” (this basically describes him for 90% of the musical)

“Father would suggest I turn into an animal of sorts, but look at where that’s gotten him—at constant war with Hera over his many affairs.” -Apollo, Scene Two

Artemis: “Apollo . . . you can’t keep—“

Apollo: “—Can’t keep falling in love with every mortal and nymph I lay eyes on. See! I knew exactly what you were going to say! This is why I never tell you about these sorts of things.” -Scene Three

“Did a vision come to you detailing the long, blissful years you two will spend together?” -Artemis, Scene Three

“A night had passed. The continuing dissension between the sun and the moon chilled the air between them.” -The Moirai, Scene Four

“Immortality is rare/Unspoken rule of godly bairn/But twist the thread around the blade/And watch that immortality fade.” -Zephyrus, “Harness the Winds”

“Laugh while you can/While the hourglass sands/Start trickling down/For when you hit the ground/You’ll know you’ve gone too far/Seems like this fallen star/Is at the mercy of fate/Oh, but it’s far too late/To plead for forgiveness/From gentle Zephyrus/I’ll rip his heart from inside him/Once I’ve harnessed the winds!” -Zephyrus, “Harness the Winds” (this one’s my favorite mostly because of the tune)

“And how do you plan to stop me? There are no secrets on Olympus.” -Hermes, Scene Five

‘ZEPHYRUS lets go of HERMES’s cloak, and stalks offstage. HERMES releases a sigh of relief. Then he abruptly lets out a yell.’ -Scene Five
