#Mexican food? no way

Modern au

As much as Dorian loves Manon, she isn’t the one he takes out to authentic ethnic restaurants that open around their city.

Aelin is the person he picks, along with Chaol, Yrene and also Rowan. They’re more open to trying different foods and they don’t mind the spice.

Manon though? She’s too white for that like any spice might kill her because he face gets red and she just doesn’t handle spicy food at all. Worst yet, if something is too hot she can’t drink any milk to sooth away the heat so she just suffers and it’s all… not good for her.

Funnily enough, Manon and the girls frequent this one steakhouse where it’s just all kinds of meat and steak and they spend hours there because the food is actually really good so Manon isn’t averted to food because she’s not. She just doesn’t handle spice very good this is why she got her 12 friends because they’re as bad as she is (except for Sorrel, Edda, Lin and Ghislaine)

using my mixed kid powers to disgust ppl who consider themselves more ethnically “authentic” then me when i tell them about how most of the food we eat is fusion bc my baba didnt have access to a lot of mexican ingredients in japan & learned how to maneuver around it anyway to make my mexican grandpa feel more at home before they moved to the states raaaahhhhhhhh

reminder: it actually does not matter if you have a friend whos a poc who tells you that "race transitioning" is fine. it doesnt matter if youre a poc yourself and you think its fine. guess what? people can be wrong!

even outside of this, people can be wrong.

if a scientist with a phd tells you the earth is flat, do you just immediately believe that with no question? you may think "someone with a phd would never believe that", but there are several scientists who do! there are modern scientists with phds and careers who believe in shit like phrenology or ancient astronaut theory or other bullshit like that.

there are poc who are nazis, who believe in white supremacy and believe that poc are inferior or subhuman. if a poc like myself tells you that all poc are inferior to white people, do you just automatically believe that? there are very famous poc who hold these ideals, such as kanye west.

you are seeking out specific people in your community who agree with all of your ideals. you are finding one or two or ten or however many people who agree with you and ignoring the tens of thousands of people who dont agree. you are doing exactly what conspiracy theorists and racists do: finding one professional or seemingly trustworthy source and basing your entire logic around that one source.

racists will find one scientist who believes in phrenology and use that one scientist to say "look! a real scientist with a phd agrees with me! you shouldnt listen to the wider scientific community, theyre all biased and wrong and this guy is the only one whos correct!"

radqueers will find one poc who supports "race transitioning" and use that one person to say "look! a real poc agrees with me! you shouldnt listen to the wider poc community, theyre all biased and wrong and this guy is the only one whos correct!"

do you understand what im saying here? you cant pick and choose who to believe based on whether or not you agree with them. listen to as many poc as you can, outside of radqueer communities. listen to ones who dont even know what radqueer means. the vast majority of poc say that "transitioning races" is inherently racist (and impossible, considering you cant just transition to have been born somewhere else or have different biological ancestors, which is what determines race because race and ethnicity are inherited unlike gender), dont just choose 20 poc who say its good and ignore the 20000 who say it isnt.

Trains for @into-the-weeds! This is a train you’ve seen before, but I finally got to see inside the coffee shop they put in the old once-and-future Mexican restaurant in a train caboose, and it’s beautiful!

[THERE IS NO WAY HE IS GOING INTO A GAS STATION TO GET ONE OF THOSE FROZEN MICROWAVED HAMBURGERS. NOW PEOPLE AROUND THESE PARTS SAY THIS IS SOME REAL-DEAL FAMILY-MADE MEXICAN FOOD. ACTUALLY, WE JUST STOPPED BY TO GET GAS, AND WE SMELLED THE SMELL OF MEXICAN FOOD.]

GREAT news, I've confirmed that my favorite 24 hour Mexican place has a location near where I'm moving.

This IS the only thing that matters to me cuz it's the only goddamn place in this corner of the country where I can get acceptable al pastor tacos and California burritos.
