your favourite foods? top 3
Õõõõ. Ok. Let's see.
Kama with kefir. Kama, or I guess talkkuna or talqan is a coarsely ground multi grain flour mix. Kefir is a thick, fermented dairy product. Mix them together just so and you have a moderately filling, pleasantly sour summer food. I love sour, fermented shit.
Endives rolled in ham. This one's Belgian. Endives aren't crucifers, but thwy gave a crunchy cabbage-y bitterness to them that I love, especially when it's tempered with fatty pork ham. Dunk that shit in a thick gravy and serve it wuth peasant style mashed milk potatoes (meaning not a smooth mash, just milk-infused, lazily crushed bunch of taters) and you'll cry happy tears while your cardiovascular system cries from cholesterol and carbs. Love it.
Finally, olives. Kalamata are fine, but I prefer lesser olivers in salty brine that are stuffed with either hot peppers or stinky cheeae. Again, I love fermented or briny food.
Bonus: anything from the cabbage family. Mustards, cabbages, anything, I'm a fiend.
Honourary mention: I make pretty awesome pelmeni. They're a simple food, and their nutritional value sucks nuts, but they satisfy your junk food craving. Khinkali are also good dumplings, although I am not a fan of dill because dill belongs in the cilantro family, and cilantro smells and tastes like stale piss to me, and so unfortunately most other plants in that family to too, but you gotta appreciate the 'sooup' that forms in a khinkal. And smother that shit in copious amounts of smetana. They're a chore to make even when you're swift with the dough and cutting out the shapes, but the reward, man.
#so basically eastern european peasant food#I like it hearty#I like it... Well tbh not bland#If anybody thinks northern and eastern european peasant food is bland#Then you're either not seasoning it right or your tastebuds have been destroyed by hot spices

my heart fucking melts
#i love hack#can really give a destiny ghost vibe if it actually has its own personality but crypto won't give it one#ok art ramble time#i think i change how i do coloring everytime i try to do that#this time instead of using a hard asf brush for the first layer of flat color i use opaque watercolor (from old csp brush set)#and just use that brush for almost anything until the metal part where i start using the blend brushes like before#in hindsight opaque watercolor is kinda good for quick stuff like this#it kinda has its own lowkey texture#i think in terms of my recent art all textures were from blend brushes#that does work. its just if you already have some texture from opaque watercolor maybe it wouldn't look that bland when doing flat colors?#anyway. this turned out well. kinda unexpected tbh#which is good because this is just a quickie and i dont actually wanna do lineart for this#apex legends#apex crypto#my art

Standing in the town square ringing my bell and yelling like Harry is the special one!!! Draco is the one who is just some guy!!!! Harry literally saved the world twice and had a prophecy made about him!!!! Draco is simply mean, blond, and rich!!!! Harry is the bold, adventurous, and self directed one!!! Draco is the one who does exactly what is expected of him!!!! Draco is a bad person, but he is not a bad boy his behavior sucks but it’s not subversive in the context of their culture!!! Harry literally overthrew the government!!! He robbed a bank and stole a dragon!!!! Hello?? Hello???
#Like being a jerk isn’t the same thing as being transgressive#And being from a wealthy and well connected family still doesn’t give Draco the incredible social status that Harry has#All this to say Harry is INTERESTING dammit#I don’t get why people sometimes seem to think he’s like bland and dumb#My boy is off the shits#I love Draco too and I love to write him#I just feel like. So many people think he’s the fun and interesting one#Or that he’s smarter than Harry#Harry is not some aw shucks boy next door he’s intense!!!#It’s something they have in common tbh

( 5.1 archon quest spoilers )
so it was really up there right on his helmet this whole time huh... big fuckin abyssal star... for like 2 years...
#apparently im blind and or stupid#maybe i missed some lore coz i really dont remember capitano lore being revealed before now#however it feels like a weak reveal for something that big#but to be fair they barely said fuck all about arlecchinos origins so#imagine if capitano was kaeyas dad ahahaha#(obviously hes not unless some wacky time travel shit is going on)#every new khaenriahn that gets revealed gets me thinking about kaeyas fam tho#also he called him dain#interesting#capitano mavuika and the war bit of the aq saved it tbh#part 1 was so fuckin disjointed and so bland to me. the world and lore and culture is so cool why do they keep fumbling the bag so hard#but then part 2 was so rushed. it had good enotional moments that just fell flat without proper buildup#pacing was so weird im disappointed but oh well. at least we get sumeru event#genshin 5.1#genshin impact spoilers#genshin spoilers#capitano#genshin impact#natlan#ace rambles

whats ur opinion on wainlock
LOVE IT and love how they're written with actual depth which is honestly so rare with older couples in media in general. like two old dudes with actual development in their relationship? wainwright worrying about not being a good fit for hammerlock which makes hammerlock worry for him?? but then they say screw it, it will work out and it does??? it's very realistic and i love them for that
#this is something i love abt blands in general tbh#lots of media dont really give elderly or even just older adult characters depth or character development#especially if theyre side characters#but i love how wainwright for example is actually a pretty insecure guy#both when it comes to managing jakobs and also his relationship with hammerlock#cause you dont see a whole lot of older characters with anxiety like that and i think winny is very cool for that#and i love how hammerlock knows about this too and is very reassuring about it#like despite being an adventurer and explorer hes still very domestic when he gets a chance to be and is just really gentle in general#but kinda naively so?? cause he was so willing to talk to aurelia during the eden-6 arc and work things out while she was ready to kill him#while wainwright was very steadfast on never trusting her#they know how to handle each other's flaws is what im trying to say!! and i adore that#also love it when old couples in media arent treated as 'pure' and sexless as well#hammerlock called wainwright a beast in the sheets and i love that for them!!!#anon

“So, I added a few headcanons :)”
The Bagel painting can wait to be finished later in the month. Right now, I just want to do a lot of sketch dumps.
Also, I was originally gonna throw in a gigachad joke in Hero’s description but my discord acquaintances advises against it. Just wanted to share that little tidbit.
#omori#omori fanart#fan design#character design#sunny omori#mari omori#hero omori#omori kel#basil omori#aubrey omori#gotta tag ‘em all!#I’m mildly sad about how… handsomely bland Hero looks#oh well#it’ll have to work#there’s something so bizarrely fun about taking fictional characters#and making them look like they got hit by a garbage truck idk#I think more character designs should incorporate minor imperfections#it make your character look more human in a way#that’s just my opinion#as always tbh

Enough time has passed now, so I can finally say with certainty that the only good MLs of the Jewelpet Series are Akira Nanase and Retsu Akagi 👍🏻
#jewelpet#jewelpet twinkle#jewelpet sunshine#jewelpet kira deco#jewelpet happiness#lady jewelpet#magical girls#txt#like— be so for fcking real????#all the ‘mls’ in there are like ‘i will always save you!’ meanwhile akira and retsu are like ‘i would k word for you’#AND THIS IS WHAT’S A MAN SHOULD BE ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO HIS GIRLIE MIND YOU????#also yeah they’re all like… kids in there so IDK why sanrio put love interests for elementary/middle school kids 😭#but some mls (coff coff yuuma and mikage coff coff) just piss me tf off 💀#then again in jewelpet sunshine all the peoples are ANNOYING af because like… kanon… sweetie… WHY ARE YOU BEEFING WITH A BUNNY???? 😭#idk guys… maybe it’s cuz i’ve seen many shoujo anime read many shoujo manga and want my man obsessed with me like— i want him WEAK for me…#the other mls in the jewelpet series sometimes i think like ‘what… are you there… for??’#akira nanase PISSES ME TF OFF his personality is SHIT but the way he goes on about rinko??? he is a SIMP and i love that#and retsu??? retsu would literally roll a red carpet down the path pink walks on and that makes me HOLLER every single time guys 😭#like— once you see how akira and retsu treat rinko and pink… the other mls become just bland in there#yuuma mikage and cayenne give NOTHING to their series#they’re love interest just for the sake of having love interests#because akari and momona are better off alone tbh cause they genuinely are such BADDIES#they’re so cool that when you see their love interests you are like… ‘babygurl don’t settle for mediocre guys like that pls…’#like… akari and momona are the men in their ‘relationships’ 😭#don’t get me started on kanon and mikage like— wHY ARE YOU CRUSHING ON YOUR TWIN BROTHER???? AND WHY IS HE CRUSHING ON A BUNNY?????#thank god they broke up after finding out they were related (THANK YOU GOD!) but now why is he head over heels ROMANTICALLY over a bunny???#aside from all these weird shit the plot wasn’t interesting at all and gave… well… nothing…#anyways!! akari and momona deserve better men for real 🫤#or sanrio could’ve left them single yknow…? we wouldn’t have even noticed pft#these are controversial and unpopular opinions among the jewelpet series fandoms… but i just had to get them out of my chest phew

Oh no... When you post a fic and it does well enough that you make it a multichapter but that first part was a fluke ahhhhhhhhhh
#I never get more than two comments or so on my weird-ass fics#So I was SHOCKED to get more#And I have trouble with motivation because by the end of a multi-chapter#No one's reading#BUT I THOUGHT I MIGHT BE GOOD#BUT OH NO IT'S AS BAD AND BORING AS I THOUGHT IT WAS#I see a couple comments in my inbox but I think those are good friends#And I feel bad like they're OBLIGATED to read#I'm afraid to look and read them tbh#And I know you only get less interaction as a fic goes on#Oh no I dared have a bit of confidence in myself and it BACKFIRED#WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF#I have the next chapter already written but... oh boy motivation will be fun#I feel bad I turned it into a bland multichapter instead of leaving it as-is RIP#Well at least it has the most kudos out of everything I've written when it was a one-shot?#That's cool#OKAY I NEEDED TO RAMBLE onto the acceptance stage of grief now ignore me#(I have a lot of bad experience from sharing my work and it's especially hard when I care about it that's all)#Yadda yadda

Just watched the new Taeyong music video and it's. So much. There's so much going on. It's nice that sm did something a little different but it's a lot, esp. combined with the song. Shoutout to greasy gamer god tho. What are your thoughts on it in case you've watched it?
it sure is A Lot!!! i think there's a lot of joy in it and it's super clear that there was a vision that had zero interest in being factual (the knight being from the year 1800 cracked me UP slkfjglkdfjglksdfjg) and instead reveled in the spectacle of it all, which i will always appreciate. the styling is so interesting and taeyong has historically had a pretty good fashion eye, but it's most the 'character' outfits that stand out like mr knight and yetti. we never actually saw anything that was that interesting in the actual stage styling which was a big disappointment for me. i think it's likely that it was more a practical issue bc a lot of the outfits from both the mv and the concept photos were big on silhouette and those can be hard to dance in, but imo that doesnt mean the promo outfits gotta be boring typical hiphop-esque fare. you can do better.
personally it wasn't a super successful debut for me bc i don't really buy taeyong as a soloist in the same way as gd or dawn, who are very much what this debut is modelled off of. maybe it's bc both dawn and gd actually push/ed beyond convention with their styling even for promotions, or maybe its bc dawn is leagues ahead of taeyong as a dancer, idk. there's something about it that just doesn't click for me as something that was truly 'taeyong', yanno?
#like not even talking about dawns recent stuff. for his DEBUT he was going barefoot on inkigayo and wearing a gimp suit on mcountdown#and tbh now that i think about it it was def the fact that the stage styling was SO bland comparatively#like they really dropped the ball there imo and it brought down my thoughts on the debut retroactively#like the mv is super fun and if there was more of a commitment to that chaos it would have worked really well#but i have a feeling that someone's creative energy (could have been anyone involved) somewhere got stifled in favour of trendy palatabilit#once again i must say: commitment! to! the! bit!!!!! its integral!!!!!!!#text#answers#taeyong w#nct w#also i cant fucking stand the song lmao

my chinese writing is really messy but it says “如我离世,我已毁灭我历史” it means "if i leave this world, i've already demolished my history" (the words for 'world' and 'history' are similar sounding)
the phrase came to me first, then the image idea popped into my head. honestly this was just a really quick doodle and i just smashed together a lot of random lighting to make it look cool, but it surprisingly works well! (i even stylized my signature for this >:3)
i recall reading this fic i once read that was about error killing himself after his work was done, leaving ink behind to be a husk, but ink was then picked up by another fandom. it was a fascinating short concept fic but it was nice.
#chasm art#utmv#error sans#this is so unrelated but i actually struggled badly with the background because it was so bland#i put alotta random squares and lowering opacity to make it look more glitchy but i don't think the effect worked as well as i wanted#tbh i like the sketch more lololololol even though it was minimalistic as hellll i didn't try too much about it but then i added colors#and the colors hooooo boy it brought it together much more than i thought it would've done#pretty dope!#uhhhh also i kinda just based the background inspiration from Level_8's error birthday piece (on twt) but look. how. how do they do it.

so i recently decided that, while i am still An Entire Man, my gender is complex in a way that i feel can only really be described as genderqueer. and i really like the way i explained it to my boyfriend today--"identifying as genderqueer is my way of acknowledging that there's no blueprint for what i am. i have to carve out a space for myself, because there's not one already."
#oddly enough#halloween costumes is what gave me the words#bc i was thinking. i have to piecemeal a costume that feels good for my gender#bc men's costumes aren't rlly fully right but neither are women's#i want to be a slutty nun for halloween#but like. a MALE nun#not a monk. a boy nun. which is not a thing that exists#and it struck me that. well. i never really have a ready-made blueprint for what i want to be#i have to scrabble it together in the same way#same w looking at wedding outfits recently--i kinda had to come up with my OWN ideas for what i wanna wear#bc a suit Isn't Correct. but neither is a dress#it's important to me that i be seen at the altar as a man but the archetypes of masculinity available to me are so... bland?#i'm talking a lot about clothes but this is true of other stuff too#i want to be a Groom but i like the adjective bridal as well sometimes?#idk#i also feel like this lack of role models or archetypes to draw from is inextricable from my fatness tbh#actually i'm gonna make a poll about that in a sec maybe#wow this got long#shut me up

#design home#living room#season challenge#pink blue green and yellow#boho design#whenever I get a poor score on a challenge like this my immediate response is “you're all cowards” at the voters tbh#like. the challenge said boho!#I had to make this bland room as spicy as I could#big colors bold patterns etc#that's what boho is to me at least#I know it's a little chaotic but that was the vibe I intended#and I think I pulled it off well enough#but design home favors the safe designs#am I being a little petty about it? maybe#I just always feel the need to rant when a fun colorful design of mine gets under a 4#anyways. enjoy

Someone: (points to a woman she thinks is beautiful and to a man she thinks is ugly) I still cannot believe these two are together! Me, who finds them both ugly: מצא מין את מינו
#also like have you SEEN het couples.#like 90% of them include either a beautiful woman or at least an average=looking one with an ugly dude like that's your average het couple#nothing shocking there lol#but in this specific case they are both ugly imo#she's soooo boring and has such a bland face#plus she's skinny. blonde. and curveless. like. 4 out of the 10 looking plagues lol.#(tbh the skinniness & blondeness & curvelessness could all be ignored but the sheer BORINGNESS and blandness of her face is#just such an uglifying factor for me.#I can forgive most things look-wise. but I cannot forgive boringness.#the dude is ugly as well but most men are but at least in his case I can say he's at least not boring.#sorry today is me disagreeing with the world's beauty standards day.
