Jamie Campbell Bower could release a twelve hour recording of himself reading a 1987 phone book and I'd happily listen to him chatter away.

pasta, me starting to read the new chapter, see the word “naan” reading further AND SEEING JANE ACTUALLY USES HER HANDS TO EAT if it’s not obvious im ethnically *south* Indian so even tho most of the times indian food ends up being stuff from northern india, im still happy for any representation if that makes any sense- that being said, what’s your favorite dish? Also did you know that South Indian foods are primarily vegetarian and there’s lots of tasty as fuck shit you won’t find on a northern indian menu????
Aaaaah I'm so happy you enjoyed that! Eating with your hands and the naan bread was how I was taught to eat it the first time a friend introduced me to Indian food, so I was hoping that was accurate! 😅 And I totally get being excited to see a piece of that in a fic! In a place like NYC, one of the lovely things about it is you can get anything there since the city's so diverse. It's a massive melting pot and I try to show that in the food everyone's eating in the fic and i'm now living it since i've moved to a big city and can try EVERYTHING.
I did NOT it was primarily vegetarian but this makes SO much sense cause I've definitely spotted the difference between the menus! And as a vegetarian I'm always happy to not get a 'uuuh we have... a leaf we found outside? Vegetarians eat leaves right? You're an herbivore, we'll get you some leaves, TEDDY GO OUT AND SHAKE THE TREE AND GET SOME LEAVES.' And now I'm finally in a big city again that actually has both Northern and Southern Indian restaurants, including a south style like 2 mins away (old town had none, and closest town only had 2 northern Indian places, so I mostly only got southern when I was traveling). Favorite might be paneer chettinad, I could eat that all day, oh my god. 😩 OR MASALA DOSAS, holy SHIT those are good. Tried those at a street festival while traveling and I swear I ascended, turned my ass back around and ordered a second round, I need more. Still hunting for some here but I'm optimistic! I'm also happy to hear any recommendations if you have favorites. I'm slowly working through all the local southern places and their menus and there is so gd much to choose from now that I can access it. 😂

in which I am a petty bitch
There's all these women on youtube and tiktok who talk about interests of mine like ADHD and historical costuming and fiber arts and I know some of them make a living off their content by now, but every time they mention their husbands etc. part of me assumes it's a situation where her share of the household income is like, part-time job level, and he's the one actually footing the bills behind the scenes for things like their house.
I know, I know. If you get a big enough following, making online content can actually pay a LOT now, especially when people diversify it a lot--youtube and tiktok and patreon, doing ads in their videos, etc.
And I also know that the reason I am Suspicious is because of The Toast--I assumed the folks running it were like, maaaaybe middle-class. But after The Toast closed and Nicole Cliff started posting in other places I realized--her and her husband are actually rich as fuck, and as far as I can tell the money is from her husband. A huge home in suburban Utah, horses, she has a favorite aesthetician and gets botox and just...yeah it's not so bad to run the kind of site that will never entirely pay for itself (The Toast was never going to make anyone wealthy lol) when you're not worried about what you'll do if it doesn't.
And I'm not saying I don't think she should've started The Toast! It was an amazing website with articles I *still* sometimes link to people, even though all the cultural references are dated now, and at least half the images aren't working. The Toast paid their writers, and that allowed them to publish a shit-ton of amazing content.
But it always felt (to me!) like she portrayed herself as the kind of city-dwelling nerdy feminist librarian type that was a lot of The Toast's readership...not someone in a McMansion.
And there's some folks on youtube where I'm just....you do not have a high enough follower count on this incredibly niche material for you to be paying for that nice place I see in the background of your videos, plus all the cameras and lighting and mics and editing software.
It must be nice, to have that kind of financial freedom. And I'm glad their spouses are willing to support them like that.
But I wonder how many possible content creators are out there whose amazing stuff we'll never see because they're too busy trying to pay rent.
