#Like actually could talk abt the wasted potential of this for ages it makes me so annoyed

[rooolt]

rattling the bars of my cage, cobra kai’s “too many characters” disease simultaneously invites speculation on a wide variety of possibly interesting character dynamics between characters who don’t frequently interact while also making it impossible for there to be any room or time in the story to even properly handle established character dynamics, let alone explore new ones

How would Shuu usually cook his victims? (General rules for what he does with certain parts or certain body types, e.g. skin is fried to be served as a side dish if the victim has a lot of fat in certain spots, maybe?? Idk sorry if this is a bit weird or comes off as offensive to anyone, I’m genuinely curious if you have any headcanons in these areas lol)

NO THATS NOT WEIRD AT ALL I LOVE TALKING ABT CANNIBALISM /srs

I have a few ideas for this actually! Tho, I am a vegan and I only rly know how to cook vegan food, so I had to do a bit of research here.

A headcanon of mine that comes to mind straight away tho is that I don’t think Shuu’s very wasteful. I think he uses most of or all of a body, and sometimes doesn’t even kill his victims.

I think that bc when we first meet him in TG, he only takes his victim’s eyes. He doesn’t kill her. It’s never rly explained why he did that, and he hasn’t gone through his development yet, so for me, that tells me that he has some sort of disdain for waste.

Because of that, I think he’d probably utilize as much food as possible from a victim. This could include making broths from bones, or more likely, jellies, which could be flavoured with blood or something. Also, potentially breast milk jelly for a desert?

In general, I think Shuu would use a variety of methods to cook his food. Each human is unique in their own way, so probably require a unique preparation method!

I think with excess fat, he might use it to make oils. Which he might use to fry things, such as skin. He might also use fat in place of where humans would use butter. A meal that comes to mind is like…a calf steak or something?

If a human has a fairly usual balance of muscle and fat, I could see it being used as pretty regular steaks and stuff, maybe he’d shred it too. Like pulled pork!

If a victim was more muscular, then I think certain parts require different cooking methods. Like, I don’t think you fry a leg, so he might cut it smaller and marinate it, or simply roast larger body parts.

I think arm meat would make for an easier cut of meat to be turned into steak or smaller pieces. And for something like ribs, I guess that’s the same as animal ribs, but he’d probably have to marinate it too.

I also think he’d marinate certain body parts that might not be as appealing, like genitalia? (Though I think he’d use ovaries like caviar!)

The marinade itself is probably a mix of oils, blood, and other bodily fluids (yes, i do mean spunk).

I think the rest of the torso could be made into larger steaks, minced, shredded, or maybe carved! (I’m thinking of those big meat sticks they have in kebab shops, where they carve it as it rotates?). Meat from the shoulder probably also gets similar treatment.

Neck meat seems kinda bony to me though? Like I just think eating a human neck would be like eating a big, bony fish. (That could be completely wrong, I’ll update u when I find my next victim xxx)

For this reason, I think it might be used in a broth or soup! I also think small appendages such as fingers and toes would be used to add flavor to broth & soup. They’re probably too small to be effectively utilized in other ways, but I could see him maybe using fingers a bit like a pre-made mini kebab?

(Things like the head and facial features would also probably be best utilized in a broth. I guess you could scrape some meat off the head but I guess it’s not really a plentiful area? Aside from cheek meat? Idk)

I think he might cure certain victims too. Maybe if he had a victim of an older age, after eating some of it fresh, he might cure other parts to further age it and enrich the flavor. This cured meat could then be taken as a snack.

It’s also possible that he eats certain parts of the body raw. I don’t know why, but I think he would eat eyes raw. They could also be put into broths, or maybe chopped and added as flavoring to other dishes.

Now, onto the tongue! Unlike the rest of the head, tongues are pretty big! Humans use cow tongue in a variety of ways, so I think Shuu would probably have fun with tongues (never thought i would say that in a non-sexual context wow).

Tongue can be boiled, roasted or braised like normal meat. It can also be tinned and pickled! Or again, it can be used in a broth or just as a steak!

I feel like I just wrote a lot and it still didn’t cover everything, aha. I hope this was okay ☺️☺️ I didn’t even get into how he’d eat certain organs and stuff. That might have to be a part 2 or something lmao 😭😭😭😭

(Also i think i think abt cannibalism way too much. the gore fetish came out with this post huh 😳😳😳)

mithian :))

ooh our good lady Princess Mithian!!!! thank you for asking about her!! also by the by, your icon is so cute!! and your url is big galaxy brain      

first impression: ahh okay okay so I disliked Mithian A LOT in her debut in The Hunter’s Heart because I didn’t and I still don’t like the way she’s “not like other girls”. the way it feels like she has to put her fellow women down to lift herself up. that’s not okay and I don’t like it, but I think a lot of young women around her age fall into that mindset easily and often, and I don’t think it’s fair to judge her on that, because she wasn’t like that at all in Another’s Sorrow. she seemed to grow up a lot in between the two episodes!!     impression now: she’s a sweetheart!! it’s disappointing that we never got to see her in action - she can hunt and she can ride and she can shoot as well as Arthur can, if not better, so it’s safe to say she can handle herself in a fight, but we never get to see her in a fight, and that was always a big letdown for me!! ultimately her character was a fun addition to the latter half of the series, but she showed up so sparingly, and did so little, she felt like wasted potential to me. I wish the writers had done more with her! favorite moment: when she carves Morgana’s name into the stone in Another’s Sorrow!! it was such a simple and resourceful and brilliant solution, it really gives a sense of how intelligent she is, even when she’s backed into a corner.     idea for a story: I think it’d be fun to drop her into an Arthur Knows About Merlin’s Magic piece!! I’d like to see the way she reacts to a new, fairer, kinder Camelot, and it would be a great opportunity to get more familiar with her, and pin down a good voice for her at the same time    unpopular opinion: she was only ever intended to be Arthur, But As A Girl, and it kind of showed. the writers had to scramble to come up with a personality for her in Another’s Sorrow. they did her so dirty!! favorite relationship: I liked her dynamic with Merlin a lot!! When Merlin makes a friend, it’s usually instant, he usually likes them right from the start, from the moment he meets them, and within a day or so, he’s ready to give his life for them, and it’s great that he’s so ride-or-die, don’t get me wrong, but that made his relationship with Mithian pop all the more - he couldn’t fucking stand her from the minute he laid eyes on her, and he only gradually warms up to her. it was a refreshing change!! also I wish she could have been better friends with Gwen 🥺 you KNOW if Gwen had been there in The Hunter’s Heart, she and Mithian and Merlin would have had such a great time daydrinking and talking shit abt Arthur favorite headcanon: she actually does like lots of stereotypically “feminine” or “girly” things - pretty dresses, hair ornaments, makeup, baking, flowers, the color pink - she just really likes stereotypically “masculine” or “manly” things, too, like hunting and shooting and swordfighting!! she just doesn’t generally talk about her more feminine interests, because she worries those interests will make her seem weak or immature, unfit to rule Nemeth when her time comes to claim her queenship

thank you for asking about her!!

send me a character      

[icecreamkink]

so im watching ice princess bc. brain empty. it has been like legit 15 years since i watched it! this was the very first ice skating thing i have ever watched and i was OBSESSED with it when we rented it in vhs. i wouldnt get Actually Into figure skating until sochi but this movie was the reason i was gliding around in socks on the floor and started watching winter olympics as child

it starts w this song that sounds like a ripoff of this OTHER early 00's girl movie song that i cannot remember (or prob never learned lol) the lyrics to and its driving me crazyyy

the ptbr version is called 'sonhos no gelo' aka dreams on ice and i personally think its a better name than ice princess

then again dreams on ice is such a ice show name so maybe thats why they chose not to lol

the music that is playing when hayden panettiere (??) first talks to georgina from gg is. . . weirdly soft porn-y. harold-

OMG WHO IS THE GENERIC "HOT" JOCK. WHERE DO I KNOW HIM FROM

i feel like sasha cohen being who makes georgina go 'omg. moving on ice requires physics!!!and thus Plot' would generate Some Type of dumb discourse today. i cant explain it i just feel it

that tv is very very old .

im so happy that joan cusak is playing an annoying judgy feminist she looks like shes loving it as she should

color coded skaters!

kim cattrall as a scary retired Did She Break A Competitors Leg Did She Not Guess! coach mom named tina is also what she Should be doing

i remember she and joan cusak fight ?by the end? so we are looking forward to That

is this another 'give the girl that the mc has chemistry with a brother for no homo reasons' example; never rewatch your heroes

juniors faking landing quads in 2005? sounds kinda precocious but what do i know

movies abt artistic sports usually Highly overestimate how nice the training outifts are but caseys a woman of the people

georgina wearing kim cattralls old outfit and the yoiness of it all. idk how to feel abt that. blueprint

honestly if my mom hated fs costumes and made me wear That i would definetely rebel

ok listen. i dont Really Know, and i guess the point is that as a Physics Person with Talent she like breaks the barriers or something but . . 'tucking ur arms in' 'pushing with your toepick' are pretty standard things people are conscious of and i dont think theyd make a girl whos been training for a couple months land a double ? would she even have the muscles for that . i mean OK ITS A DISNEY MOVIE IK i Know IM JUST. ok ok

whys georginas token best friend so likeable. get it ann

teddy, the no homo zamboni driver

joan cusack and kim cattralls passive agressive interactions!!!!!!!! ty for my life

Unlikely Complex Computer Program Check

jen! im not dressed for a party! sigh. shake it. ??? eye roll your hair >>>>>

GENERIC HOT JOCK IS SHANE OMEN OMGGGG I KNEW I KNEW HIM

hey! you get paid to be a has been on ice ok. and its Awesome. and its probably more fun than competing all things considered lbr

no but like, its not like georgina couldnt go to college during or after a skating career..... plenty of athletes do that.....

considering she could retire circa 2015, she could even become a youtuber on TOP and capitalize on yuri on ice. joan cusack has no eye for the future smh

but making her mom not simply a controlling academic but instead a working professor regretting probable wasted potential was a smart choice

aw cds !!

'youllbe be worth even more when you win' damn dont hold back tiffanys dad

i feel seen with the way the parents are so obnoxious in this movie

i mean i feel seen bc i had to deal w ballet parents not that i am a obnoxious parent myself, i. i dont have kids

i wish i could say omg thats so dumb as if athletes are always at each others throats like that but uh. on junior level? it happens

hayden panehfd and georgina ending up together would have been so cute sigh

only the girls/women are important in this movie and im into this. rip teddy

zoey bloch sure can rock

i wish i knew how to hidroblade :( or. skate. at all; lmao

nikkis regionals costume was very cute , prize for the jumping bean!! . eh shrimp

so who choreographed georginas programs? tina? did she do it herself? is that why they look kinda meh. why didnt they show it

ok but like. needing to break in brand new shoes is . is it not . common knowledge. :for anything. ?

LIKE im not defending the sabotaging of a teenager but. as a Smart Person who Knows Physics and has been training in a high impact sport and STUDYING IT, did it rly not occur to her that like. competing in brand new, though skates might be a Bad Idea? she figured out how to land a triple in months but not that performing on brand new shoes sounds kinda stupid??

ooo~~ its just like sarajevo~~

JOAN CUSAK AND KIM CATTRALL THROWING IT DOWN YES

the dramatic fight makes it kinda inescapable that they act circles around the kids but oh well

why didnt kim cattrall push teddy to be a figure skater too. like double the odds of a success, seems kinda obvious

its noT MY DREAM MOM. ITS YOURS

*hayden panerimo, voice cracking* anD I WANT *kim cattrall*okay okay thats enough -

drama in the hallwayyy

georgina answering "why are u passionate about harvard" with essentially "im not" kinda iconic ngl

its noT MY DREAM MOM. ITS YOURS²

whys she not wearing the new skates. she already has them now, and for free too

i have never seen an actual frozen lake in my life but are those cracks supposed to be like that

yes it IS a beautiful sport casey tell em !!

kim cattrall was a such a big brain choice. who else would sell 'im not gonna apologize for sabotaging you and taking advantage of ur stupidity" to a 16 year old in a disney movie

"i dont have to like or trust my coach "kjasdkfn casey,,,,, sweetie. i mean eteris girls do win trophies back to back so I Guess In A Way but also.,,,,,, sweetie-

i know that she meant it in a general way, but the Possibility of kim cattrall and joan cusack going to high school together and somethin something Watching and Envying the pretty prom queen/world champion, something being tired of performing feminity something something short skirts something harsh realities of academia and pro sports careers / anywhere for women something. something something.

michelle kwan!! i did not remember her in this

forget georgina and hayden panettone, otp is hayden / ann . hann!! tutor trope!!!!

omg does joan cusack teach at a community college or a encceja type of thing . bitter moms plot thickens

this was nice :') its confirmed ive had good taste since toddler age 🤷

[goldentailedmermaids]

Okay so I finally watched Pirates of the Caribbean 5 and I have nothing to say but WHAT A FUCKING WASTE! Like... it was decent but GOD did the quality dropped since the third movie.

There was no build-up and not tension whatsoever. The battles felt weak and epicless. Where are the armadas? Where is the desperate battle to live? Where are Barbossa and Jack’s badassness? Okay they’re old and belong to the past generation, but still! They’re the best pirates of the sea! Where are they gone?

The character of Henry: Why the fuck is he here anyway??? He barely gets action, he barely talks and is not as important as he could have been. Come on! He could have been so much better and given better storyline! How about him summoning the Flying Dutchman? How about him being the reason why Will comes to help Jack? How about him being more than a subject to mockery and a dumb bland boy too much in love to be intelligent? How about him being twice as amazing as his parents?

Jack Sparrow: Johnny Depp’s acting was so weak! What happened? Jack feels away and irrelevant half the time. He is nothing more than a comic relief. Jack is an old man, a fading legend in his own narrative. He is no more but the shadow of himself.

Barbossa: How does he even have a daughter? She is the same age as Henry so he must have had her about the same time as...... aaaaahhhhhh the harbour at the end of the third!

The dialogues felt so sloppy OMFG! And I really get the feeling that they threw the “show don’t tell” rule to the trash can. TOO MUCH EXPOSITION IN A DIALOGUE KILLS IT!!!! The dialogues made me CRINGE!

Karina and Henry could actually be cute together if we were shown their chemistry and relationship more. Come on! Even Barbossa and Elisabeth had more screentime together!

Speaking of which, you did not had to make Karina related to Barbossa to be relevant. Y u try and get everyone related in this movie? Tis not GOT!

I thought that it was Beckett who gave Jack his compas... Incoherence much? And WTF was this shit abt him getting rid of it and the dead being freed bc of it? Hello people, remember that time he gave it to Will? Do you even watch your own movies?

The battles scene were slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww! So slow and tensionless! Where are the epic sword to sword battles from the first trilogy?

This Jack Sparrow backstory felt so incredibly out of place? Didn’t he work for the Company before he became a pirate? Wasn’t this the reason why he made this pact with Jones? The very reason the pearl sank and why Jones saved it? WASN’T IT THE REASON WHY THE SECOND AND THIRD MOVIE EXISTED????

The witch’s no use for anything. She just exists as a screenplay tool and I am disappointed because she could have seen Henry and whispered “a touch of destiny” to echo Calypso/Tia Dalma. Heck! She could have been Dalma’s successor! What if Henry’s destiny was to break all curses? What if the witch had been there for a better purpose and exist as a character?

And now, my biggest grievance: Will Turner. 

Why, the EVERLASTING FUCK did they bROUGHT HIM IN IF IT WASN’T TO EXPLOIT HIM AT HIS FULL POTENTIAL????  H E  I S  T H E   C A P T A I N   O F   T H E   F L Y I N G   D U T C H M A N  !  HE IS THE ONE SUPPOSED TO CARRY THE DEADS TO THE LOCKER!!! HE IS THE ONE TO GUANRANTEE NO DEAD AT SEA STAYS AT SEA!!!! DOESN’T HE NEED TO, OH I DON’T KNOW, FIX THAT DAMN GHOST PROBLEM AS CAPTAIN OF THE DUTCHMAN???? OR WAS THIS NOT PART OF HIS JOB??? And he does nothing as his son almost drowns and risks his life! Shouldn’t he be aware of that? How come he knows what his son is up to at the beginning but not during the movie?

Why does he have those corals on him while he fulfills his part of the deal? And where is Grandpa Turner?

Why doesn’t he shows up as Barbossa’s ships are burning to gather the dead?

Imagine: Jack Sparrow nearly dying, his ship’s on fire, Karina and Henry stand still as they hear heavy footsteps on the deck of the ship (shot on Will’s feet). Everyone lowers their head, not Jack, he smiles and Henry does too. Henry tells Karina not to be afraid of this big ass ship which came out of the sea bc he knows who is in command. Will steps up and grins to Jack: “Jack Sparrow. Do you fear Death?”

Imagine: Will showing up at the end to help insure the dead stay dead and kicking the shit out of Salazar’s ass. Salazar impales him in the heart but Will grins and tells him his heart is safe ashore, in good hands. Henry smiles.

Btw: How can Will be still alive? Did the trident give him his heart back?

Imagine: Will on the Black Pearl, seeing his son being infatuated with Karina and noticing the red dress. All the memories of Elisabeth in that dress comes back and he just grins happily.

Imagine: When Barbossa dies, Will’s there and he asks, fondly, warmly, recalling how he is the one who married him and Elisabeth: “Barbossa, do you fear death?” Barbossa smiles and says “I have seen too many things to fear a flirt.” Will smiles and takes him with him for a last journey to the locker and Barbossa says “This brings back memories”

Imagine: Henry tells his father “The witch said something weird. A touch of destiny she said.” and Will just smiles because “I have heard that, long ago. And I think mine is fulfilled.”

Oh and did Elisabeth know about Henry going full on pirate mode? How did she react?

Imagine: Will being captain of the Flying Dutchman KICKING THE SHIT OUT OF THE NAVY!

Also, why is he afraid of his men? Jones wasn’t. And it seems to me that his crew are bound to respect and obey him. So WTF is he afraid of?

How come this potential for epicness and meaningfulness was WASTED???

And don’t get me started on the jokes abt Karina or any of that woman of science= witch bullshit. This has been more than painful to watch. And WTF is that franchise’s timeline anyway?! *sigh*
