[emzular]

seeing the st writers release that scene and there being absolutely nothing in it has me laughing cos all the hate those fans sent to other shippers and to certain actors on the show, the death threats too, was for literally nothing.

That whole thing with how white fans treat Ryan and Steven as poc in Watcher has got me thinking a lot about how my opinions of the trio have evolved since I first started watching their content. It started with Unsolved, I didn't really know anything about Steven but I recognized him vaguely, you know?

My view of Ryan was fairly standard. Average height guy with some major guns who gets really frightened, an ultra-believer. Like, the most basic interpretation of his personality. Since then, I've sort of grown with him over the course of Unsolved and into Watcher. I think of him as incredibly courageous for being able to do what he does for a living, even while afraid. I think of him as hardworking and passionate about what he does. He's got a lot of emotional vulnerability that you don't really expect just by looking at him. He's a risk-taker. He looks up to people, even being a huge role model himself. He's very aware of the situation and is a problem-solver at times. And I think we can all agree, he needs to take care of himself more given all the work he puts into what he does.

My views of Shane in the beginning were also quite black and white. A spooky weird-looking tall guy, ever the skeptic and a grim mess. Nowadays, it too is a lot more refined. He's a dorky guy with a strange sense of humour. He's more vulnerable than you'd think when compared to his braggadocio on Unsolved. He's comfortable around his friends, he's open to new experiences and ideas, he's artistically intelligent and not just book smart. He knows his limits. He's his own biggest critic. He's creative, and just like Ryan, extremely hardworking.

I still don't know a lot about Steven. On Watcher, he came as a sort of enigma to me. In the earlier episodes, it was a lot easier for me to pick up on the personalities of Ryan and Shane, because I was familiar with them. I was even hesitant, I admit. But I'm really glad I gave him a shot, because he's also just as important as the others. We need to give him more spotlight, honestly. He deserves it. Even for somebody who owns a friggin Tesla, he's exceedingly humble. He's a fast-learner as we see on Dish Granted. He cares so, so much about his friends and remembers little things about them. Like Ryan, he's a risk-taker and a problem-solver. His personality blends well with those around him. He takes little ideas and pumps them up into maximum effort to make it just right. He's a bit of a perfectionist, but it's proven to be a motivator more than a downfall. He's flexible and adaptable and works off of mistakes.

And now with the addition of Ricky, I'm so excited to see him shine through on his show, and see what he's like, see his own unique talent! It's important to value all members of Watcher equally. They all do their part in making Watcher what it is, and you can't just pick and choose favorites. But don't forget that they're also individuals, all intelligent, and that they are defined in more complicated ways than just what you might see them tweet about. Their beliefs do not define their intelligence, or validity. You can't just gauge their personality and opinions off of what they look like or how outspoken they may be. Seriously think about it.

GUYS WHAT RHW MORB I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS?#?$?#?$ also this poster goes so hard– But I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

first of all... WHAT THE FUCK

[recurring-polynya]

Happy Easter, for those who celebrate, I spent, like 6 hours making a cake!!

I decided ages ago I wanted to do a cake for Easter, and I was originally going to do one of those chop-two-round-cakes into bunny face that my mom made many times in my childhood, although I was waffling because I don’t actually like shredded coconut, which is one of the important decorative elements. Then, my good friends at King Arthur posted this recipe for a Robin’s Egg Cake, and my heart was stolen, I just had to. 

For a variety of reasons, including, 1) as mentioned, I don’t like coconut, 2) it had to travel, and 3) I was exhausted and running late by the time I finished, I elected not to make the bird’s next on top, but it came out pretty cute anyway:

In case you’re wondering how the speckles are achieved and don’t feel like reading the recipe, I will save you the trouble: You mix up some cocoa powder in warm water. Then you dip a pastry brush into this, and flick it at the cake. It certainly makes a nice speckle, but it will also do this to your kitchen:

It was just a smidge too tall for the cake carrier, and the journey rubbed a bald spot on top of the cake, but there’s nothing a Peep can’t fix!!

I don’t really care for blueberry, so I filled one layer with lemon curd, and one with blackberry jam. Both were homemade. I had a lot of trouble getting the lemon curd as thick as I wanted, and I think I actually “overcooked” it-- the result was very thick and very sharp, but I loved it and have no regrets. I have made many curds before using both this recipe and the more traditional stovetop version, and I don’t usually have so much trouble. I used this recipe for the jam (pro-tip: It’s actually much cheaper to buy blackberry jam, it’s only worth making your own if it’s fun for you). If you read through the whole thing, there’s a lot of theory in there about the sugar-to-berries proportions. I think I used 15oz of berries and 7 oz of sugar. It still took a million years to cook, but I thought it came out a nice level of sweetness/berry flavor, and it made the perfect amount to fill the cake.

The recipe recommends piping a “dam” of icing around the filling (you can see it in the above picture) and even though my fillings had set very well and probably could have stood pretty well on their own, I approve this method. You have to dirty an icing bag so I’d endorse it even more if I had done more piping, but it was still worth it.

HOW MUCH WAS THAT??

Iiiif I remember right it was $65-85? Somewhere in that range!

Last year there was an actual cel with the gang themselves on it (+ a separate bg cel) that I would have KILLED to have but that sucker was very expensive 💔💔 character cels tend to go for waaaaay more than bg cels so sadly I had to let that puppy go

@ anyone if ur interested in animation history check ebay!!! always be wary of scammers ofc but there are plenty of trustworthy sellers with cels from tons of shows & I guarantee there’s at least one cel from whatever your favorite traditionally animated show is. Super fun hobby & it’s a Weird experience to realize “wow my favorite show was a handcrafted effort by dozens of people and now I’m holding it in my hands” lol

Some Tips To Get Your Best Experience At The Doctor’s Office

Just a collection of things I’ve picked up over time.

Write down your symptoms, including the dates. If you’re like me, it can be easy to forget every single life experience you’ve ever had when the question “What seems to be the problem?“ comes up. Write it down! Notes app, personal planner, old grocery list, anything you can bring with you and double-check. This carries the benefit of being able to look back and realize something was much worse/longer-running than you remembered it to be.

Have a goal. You’ve probably seen this one before, but it’s good advice! If you feel like the doc is focusing on the wrong things, open with your goal and specific problem. “My arm hurts“ is much more vague than “I’ve had pain in this arm for two weeks, and it’s making it hard for me to work, which is bad for my financial situation.“ Reinforce this goal if the doc seems to go on a tangent (you don’t have to be confrontational, you can open that with “I’m confused on how that’s connected to the arm issue I came in for?“ and give them a chance to elaborate).

If the doc refuses to do tests, ask for elaboration. Request that it be noted in your file that you requested the tests and the doc vetoed them. This one is from a post with support tips for Black women who often get ignored in the doctor’s office. If you feel that you are not being taken seriously, it may be time to pull this one. (I can’t find the original post, if anyone has that on hand please share.)

If you feel that you are not being listened to, find a new doctor. You have the right to health care from someone who takes you and your health seriously. If you find you are being dismissed by reason of disability, weight, gender, race, age, identity, or even just seemingly at random, it may be time to search for a new care provider. Medical workers who refuse to listen are not merely insulting, but can actively put your life at risk.

yesterday i was in a thrift store w my friend whose birthday is today. or i guess it was yesterday and we were in the store two days ago because it’s past midnight. whatever. this place has old niche books out the wazoo, i mean it’s great, i love it. and there was this GIGANTIC set of encyclopedias on philosophy, which she wanted. she’s like passionate about philosophy the way i’m passionate about poetry. it’s not just her major it’s her life she loves it loves it breathes it. but it was $75 for the four books and she wasn’t ready to drop that money, she was like “i might come back and get it later.” but she sent me a message tonight (or last night fuck you midnight fuck you midnight) of the encyclopedia set being like “i told my mom i wanted it so she went out and bought it for me” ;____; her mama did her so good. i love that that’s so sweet.
