#allergies can be so annoying

[lavsnz]

the kittens don’t normally make me sneeze or bug my nose a bunch but they did tonight like it was so so rough & now i don’t know if my headache is from allergies, being sleepy, being stuffy, etc. so i took some ibuprofen when i maybe should’ve taken sudafed but this isn’t just in my sinuses it’s everywhere. where is my gf to cuddle me while i go through this? im being very brave about this & a gf to cuddle me while i fall asleep would be so nice

I knew Natlan would disappoint in terms of diversity but damn… this is so bad I can’t even lie (TT)

anybody else have a food they're allergic to but still eat anyway

What types of meals does Kijin like to prepare the most? Is he more of an exact measurements kinda culinarian or an eyeball everything? How good is he at improvising? How often does he pick up new recipes?

— BASED ON CONVERSATIONS ;; ( @vierandancer )

"Uh..."

X'kijin paused, eyes wide and almost owlish as he gazed at the other person who had a... notebook in hand of all things. Something about it brought him no small amount of discomfort, given how little he liked to talk about himself and how infrequent he'd felt noticed in the things he did.

Hell, it had taken some of the Scions a while to figure out he'd helped more than a few times with meal preparation at the Rising Stones, most especially when they'd taken to helping Yugiri and the refugees.

"I... like making most things?" It was a non-answer, one he could tell disappointed the... reporter? Was that who this person was? What had gotten them interested in his cooking...? "I... prefer to make Ala Mhigan dishes, so... more often meat-based than not."

"You don't really need exact measurements most of the time," he said, slowly finding the same confidence he had in his cooking in his explanation of it. Though he wasn't about to confess that that was in part because he'd been unable to read half of them. Numbers only got one so far. "You can 'eyeball' seasoning. It's not like alchemy where too much or too little of one thing can effect the potency or the quality."

That answer came a little differently with baked goods, of course. He'd learned the hard way that too much yeast in bread was... not good.

"Some things are easier to improvise than others. Like coriander has some good alternatives, but apparently some people think one of them tastes like soap?"

X'kijin didn't really agree, but he just... tried to avoid it, best he could. Coriander wasn't rare enough to warrant feeding people what tasted like soap to them.

"You'd usually make flour with a grain, but you can also make flour with other things, like certain bugs, which is great for one allergy and horrible for another."

"But, uh—" A pause as he tries to come back to himself, to feel a little more like the person he often tried to portray himself to be. Calm, even, uncaring, despite the sparkle that appeared in green eyes when the subject had come up to start. "I like to try out new recipes as often as I can. Which... isn't that hard, considering how many places we go, but..."

He cleared his throat, repositioned his glasses on his nose.

"Is... Is that it, or...?"

the fact that like half of my food issues Are, in fact, Definitely because of/exacerbated by ye olde Anxiety does not actually help with the anxiety that the other food issues will not actually be allergies. But they Can make each other worse and I think that's beautiful

[chicago-geniza]

Reminder to future me: do Xolair shots before A's Maslenitsa party on Saturday so you can eat the food lmao. She's making you gluten-free blinchiki so it should be fine

[medicinemane]

It's amazing how quickly you can make someone turn on your company by making a stupid and insulting move

Force me to go through the front door and scan my card when I have backdoor business that never needed a card before (what? ...I was going to somehow... sneak in and... purchase things with a borrowed card? ...which I totally can't do from the front door after scanning it?)

Or like... twitterify your layout right after your users give you a bunch of money just cause they like you, and then refuse to walk it back

...or all the other things companies do that just kinda piss people off and then they refuse to acknowledge maybe it sucks and is stupid cause "hey, the customers didn't leave"... yeah... yet

i want another piercing so bad but what 😭

[clementiens]

i've had to make a lot of adjustments after learning about my literal dozen food allergies and i've just been eating so much steak

[todayisafridaynight]

Okay I can't post it until next week at the earliest and NEED to get this off my chest between now and my next longer reply because of stuff we were talking about:

Confirmed in one of my livestream clips there's been actual consideration towards Mine having survived. It's just a matter of his voice actor's availability and wanting to do it right if they end up doing it. We really could see Mine back in the main series.

And I recorded that clip based on something I misheard and didn't register that part at all until now. How Are We Doing Tonight

(Speaking of, get well soon!! I was sick myself the past couple of weeks, it's awful)

me waiting for the absolute millisecond yokoyama drops the 100% Mine Survived The Fall statement

Me, coming out of the shower, to Mr Seldnei: So i managed to flip a glob of shampoo directly into my eye. I rinsed it out and am now experiencing minor discomfort, so you know what that means—I am DYING and when you wake up next to my CORPSE in the MORNING, that is WHY.

[camellia-thea]

absolutely bullshit that i'm allergic to almost all common moisturizers btw. why the fuck am i allergic to oats (only in skincare), lanolin, and aloe vera? why am i allergic to medically prescribed moisturizers? why?

[rabbithub]

Seasonal Allergies, you bitch.

I'll sip some tea then take a small nap.

[dredshirtroberts]

what i wouldn't give to be able to consistently breathe through even like one of my nostrils

[a-crimson-impressionism]

A current test: am I still allergic to apples and or apple skins?
