do you think toji and/or sukuna are into looksmaxxing. i need to know.
choso is probably near to tears just thinking about it - he's having a hard time adjusting to all these new trends anyways, wdym there's a whole section of it now?
i feel like gojo just flexes his "natural" looks, nanami doesn't even know he has them until someone comments on your post saying "you won/we're so back."
omg hellaurrr i really pulled out a notebook to jot these down (this isn't even a joke, my keyboard was messing with me but i was worried i'd forget to answer properly) but now i may transcribe my notes on jjk + looksmaxxing 😭 🤭 u always send me the funniest things
gojo once found a wrinkle on his forehead and cancelled class for the day. now he sleeps with a cucumber and a jade roller. when he gets drunk, he claims that a kpop idol dm'ed him for advice on clear skin, never says who though (#liar) and in high school he used a self tanner once because suguru once likened him to an overgrown, pale musty mushroom. ended up with orange streaks everywhere. does pilates but will never admit it. wishes that in another life he was an influencer just so someone would send him pr packages because its nice to get presents in a box. definitely calls himself an icon.
geto thinks essential oils are a part of looksmaxxing so he feels better on the inside. literally floats around like a walking bottle of sandalwood and lavender. tried growing facial hair because he thought it would be great to accentuate his jawline, but someone called him a discount samurai and he had to cancel the cult meeting that day. thinks looksmaxxing isn't just physical but also a state of mind, so he carries around books like crime and punishment to look smart. thought that wearing glasses would make him look smarter and had a phase where he wore fake ones and not one person complimented them.
sukuna secretly has a stash of protein powder. it goes in everything, smoothies and sprinkled over raw meat. says that he doesn't give a flying fuck about these things, but used to read old, ancient scrolls about medieval skincare. got uraume to make him a scrub from red spider lilies and wondered why his skin was burning sooo bad afterwards. sharpens his nail with blades and claims its better than just normally clipping your nails, but he always ends up scratching himself bad. has a collection of sheet masks. has the best eyebrows of all time and knows this (gets them plucked). has an anonymous #hater tiktok account where he comments rude things under gojo's posts.
nanami. you are soooo right, he probably doesn't know or give a fuck about these things because he's actually employed. but hates the idea of a ten step skincare routine for he thinks that the best routine is simple: cleanser + moisturiser + sunscreen. believes in the power of a neutral toned wardrobe with clean, tailored silhouettes. but there are photos of him out there from when he was 18 years old, with black eyeliner on his waterline. shoots down everyone's ridiculous looksmaxxing attempts. jawline exercises? just chew your food properly. botox and fillers? try eight hours of sleep before reaching for the needles. want to post a glow up journey? well, just focus on yourself and move in silence. kind of gojo's biggest opp for all this, and being so clean and put together effortlessly...
#toji def has a gym acc where he does the stupid back muscle poses (that's my own haterism coming through!)#and he buys cheap bulk powder to mix with water because 'muscles don't care about taste'#choso is just...that gorgeous. hes from the 1870s he doesn't gaf truly. will break out in hives if u talk about it#HEHEHEHEH what a fun ask!!!!!!!!!!!!#jjk x reader#gojo satoru x reader#geto suguru x reader#nanami kento x reader#sukuna x reader#answered

I’m still bitter that they didn’t think it was important enough for Jinx and Caitlyn to have a one on one conversation with each other and then have them fight it out.
Does Jinx know one of the councilors was Caitlyn’s mother? Are we suppose too assume she finds out during the time jump, off-screen? Is that not important enough address to ON-SCREEN????
Why establish this entire arc for Caitlyn that starts with Jinx, but you don’t see the importance of them interacting?
I know Jinx is a genius and in the game she gets away from being caught by Vi and Caitlyn numerous times, but isn’t Caitlyn supposed to have these super, amazing detective skills? That’s one of her defining traits in the lore.
I find it hard to believe that not once could she locate Jinx in the span of those months.
Also, Vi and Jinx don’t even speak about Caitlyn at all. Sometimes the writing for both of the sisters gives the impression that they don’t even remember what happened in season 1.
Yes, I know she chose “Jinx” and accepted that they both changed, but she went from being very obsessive to acting like Caitlyn doesn’t even exist really quickly. What happened to her very severe abandonment issues?
#arcane#arcane season 2 spoilers#arcane spoilers#arcane s2 spoilers#jinx#vi#caitlyn kiramman#arcane critical#they built up all of this just to give us nothing#I wanted to see them throw hands at each other#blow the jinx vs Ekko fight out of the water#and#yes I am very invested in their dynamic and bitter about it#Isha being a cheap plot device#love her but still

Della: FOUR MONTHS!
Donald: What is she talking about?
Scrooge: it’s really not that long
Louie: Totally over reacting
Della: for four months you all stood by and watched water a fake plant!!
#they really got a kick out of watching her water it#they can’t help it#it was an obviously plastic plant#like it wasn’t one of those good ones where you had to look really close to spot the way its slots together#in fact it was kinda cheap and nasty#but when a girls been in space for a decade you kinda forget what real plant (and plastic) really looks and feels like.#but it was Louie who had watched her watering it#Scrooge had bought it her as a birthday gift#his head tilted his eyes squinted as he watched his mother doting care for a very plastic plant#it was endearing#at first#then it was hilarious#and each morning he and his uncle would wait patiently watching for her to water it wondering why after all this time it hadn’t grown#until finally she suggested different substrate#and that when they cracked#Della chased the pair of them round the house demanding a new REAL plant#scrooge mcduck#della duck#louie duck#donald duck

trying to be excited for my Forspoken NYC Trip where we visit locations from the game, but one of the friends I’m going with is driving me so crazy that I fear it’s going to turn instead into a Yellowjackets Trip where I murder my high school friend in New Jersey
#and yes we Are staying in New Jersey. my friends are too cheap to want to shell out for a hotel in New York#I finally got around to checking the reviews for the hole in the wall we’re staying it & it sounds like its got water damage ants & bedbugs#my mom offered to pay the difference as a late birthday gift to upgrade us to somewhere better#and my friend is like ABSOLUTELY NOT we are NOT changing anything THIS close to the trip#even tho it DOESNT FUCKING MATTER bc it’s FREE CANCELATION until the day before and we have ZERO investment in this lousy place#we’re staying like TWO HOURS from Hell’s Kitchen bc of them being cheapskates#she also got super annoyed with me for asking to make sure there’s a fridge bc of my fucking Sjögren’s#I need water ALL THE TIME!! and warm water doesn’t help my dry mouth nearly as much (sometimes makes it even worse)#and my friend is like ‘can’t we just go buy a cold drink at the store if you’re thirsty?’#she’s also autistic and it’s in the really fucking annoying way that contrasts with all of my autistic traits#I’m ready to put my head through the wall and the trip hasn’t even started yet#if you see me on the news pretend you never read this

Was talking TES lore with my wife and inadvertently figured out a way to make a KILLING in the highly black market with a dang good cover story.
#tl:dr - Moon Sugar needs water from Elsweyr to grow. Grow it in any other water and it just dies (with like one exception iirc?).#Skooma manufacturers need Moon Sugar to make their product and that requires smuggling the shit outta Elsweyr because it seems to be a#restricted substance as soon as you leave the province. And they cant just grow it themselves anywhere else.#SO you start an alchemy shop in some Elsweyr port town. Senchal lets say. You sell regular potions all the time but you also sell SUPER#cheap Fortify Restoration potions. Cheaper than however much the going rate at smuggled Moon Sugar is atleast by ideally half.#The ingredients? Salt water from the Topal Bay (containing whatever that quality is that moon sugar needs to grow) + Cyrodiilic Spadetail#fished up from the Topal Bay which flows outta cyrodiil. One free ingredient one super cheap local one. Water + Salt + Cyrodiilic Spadetail#You have a cheap to make Fortify Restoration potion. One that you can let various skooma manufacturers know on the down low will allow them#to grow Moon Sugar if they water their crops with it.#Then you just ship out crates of the shit to the black market and it won't look suspicious at all. You're an alchemy store. You ship out#potions now and then. Fortify Restoration's just a popular one thats all dont worry about it.#tes#the elder scrolls

my dream is to own the following:
a really good knife for cooking
non stick pan
a good wok
a good cutting board
i think thats it
#the mental anguish i experience while cooking bc we don't have any good knives and my mother ruins all the knives by leaving them in water u#until they rust#and they're cheap and shitty#i even bought a water stone to sharpen them but it doesn't really have any effect bc my mother has a propensity to ruin every knife that's#available to her#and then she will use my knives and also ruin them bc 'she needs them'#bc she left all the other knives... in water. so they rust#the way i can't cook eggs bc they stick to every pan in this house no matter what#closes my eyes forever#oh yeah im starting to remember why i think cooking is miserable#turns out chopping a ton of vegetables with a shitty dull knife isnt good for you#even after i sharpened them it was never that good

Top 5 drinks? ☕
i am about to confess. i am a terminal water-drinker SKFJHG i'm not super into sweet things and don't mind the taste of just plain water? so i don't often have any beverages at all, so this list is about to be the most hyper-specific list of beverages known to man 😂
hot water: i would argue this counts as a drink, because most people i know don't drink hot water, i'm just very chinese lol. it's nice! feels less shocking to the system than cold water. i do not like cold water.
taro bubble tea: truly the most bestest of bubble teas. it's purple! it has edible tadpoles! yum. idk unpopular opinion though, every time i get it from a place where they actually serve legitimate taro inside their taro bubble tea, i hate it. i want the artificial stuff that comes in powder form, that is probably like 90% sugar by weight
there's this corn juice that T&T sells that's really good. is also probably 90% sugar by weight. corn!
okay i have to admit that i do like the starbucks coffee cappuccino frappuccino whatever stuff that comes in the sealed glass bottles that you can get. again, definitely mostly sugar and milk by weight (i am not a hardcore coffee person. i'm not even a coffee person really), but they taste really good. i haven't had one in years and i'm not about to break that streak now! but i do remember really liking it.
another asian beverage, there's this pineapple beer stuff that is mostly non-alcoholic (the alcohol % is super low) that is really good. ALSO most DEFINITELY 90% sugar by weight, i swear it tastes kinda like caramel and nothing like pineapple. still good tho!
#asks#i swear the pineapple beer stuff used to be better though#like now i can taste this caramel-y aftertaste to it#which is fine it's not bad but it's not what it used to taste like#so i demoted it to 5#i don't like ANY other starbucks thing and esp now i refuse to go to starbucks#but for some reason those glass bottle boys are like. littol treat. somehow very good.#might just be that i have really low standards. in college i used to drink coffee strictly for the caffeine#so i would make the most godawful concoctions known to man#little bit of cheap instant coffee in a mug lot of hot water a bit of sugar to make it a little less caustic to swallow and voila#you now have a recipe for Olive's Caffeine Beverage From Hell: Also Known As Coffee Question Mark?#or i would dump some grounds into a french press and drown it in hot water#then walk away and forget about it for an hour#come back and pour out my cold garbage into a mug and microwave it#add sugar. serve.#yes it still had little bits of coffee grounds in it always. it was disgusting. do not do this.#oh maybe more cursed though is that with the french press method i'd always make way too much#so i would take the extra stuff and put it in the fridge for later#where it would ofc undergo the microwave + sugar treatment#again. don't do this.#and i hear you asking 'olive. why not add a little milk. please. at least don't drink it black and cursed with the ghost of sugars past.'#to which i reply: the grocery store we went to in college only had big 2L things of lactose free milk#and that was way too much milk for me to drink before it went bad#and also. more importantly. if i added milk to the mug that was less caffeine water in the mug therefore not enough caffeine.#and look at the above recipes. this was bad coffee EVEN with milk. i did not want to be drinking it either.#usually i would end up shotgunning the last 25% of the mug of cold sugar caffeine water because i would've forgotten it for an hour by then#how did i end up talking about this#ANYWAYS thank you for the ask!!!! :D#would recommend trying the above beverages in the list#would not recommend trying cold sugar caffeine water

Atla live action 😐
#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid#like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat#or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already#good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive#to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil#i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better#but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because#it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak#and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but#come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and#makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality#i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was#IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall#AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think#plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS#a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason#im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your#audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small#thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small#its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers#i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang#anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and#rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz#netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub#no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same#ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me#i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing#yapping

König: I need beer. Soap: Woah buddy, I get it but you have guard in half an hour. Cool it. König: I need 500 ml beer, 450 gr flour, bit of salt and some herbs or spices. Soap: And then? König: And then I need a bowl to mix it all and let it rest before baking it for 30-45 min at around 180°C. Soap: And then what? What is this? König: Bread. König: Of course it is bread. What do you think the purpose of this is? Soap: Fucking germans.
#super subtle way of teaching the curious how to make bread#bread is literally so easy and cheap to make if you have an oven#obviously you can swap out the beer with water and yeast#but often some kind of cheap beer is available which makes the process more accessable#and yes beer has yeast in it#könig#könig cod#könig mw2#könig call of duty

Final pictures of the Halloween Dream pair, a commission for @buttercupyarnart. Unfortunately, my husband decided that since we were out of color catcher sheets (used to catch bleeding dye) and instead just used salt to set the dye and prevent future bleeding, he's going to wash it anyway. The black fabric bled everywhere, and salt set it, as well as heat from the dryer. There is nothing I can do, and I am rightfully angered by his carelessness.
We use a laundromat, which is expensive even though it's the lowest cost one he could find. It's why I don't prewash fabric. When we have our own washing machine*, this won't be an issue.
Okay, now for pictures.

Closeups




The mini quilt

Closeups


He'll be getting color catcher sheets before doing laundry next week, no worries about that.
But 76 hours of work, ruined by his carelessness.
#quilt#sewing#handmade#halloween#handquilting#*i want a Speed Queen. They're used by laundromats and made to last. our washing machine died last summer. transmission fluid leaked out#and water got into the engine. less than three years use and $500. we had a repairman come see about fixing it and he explained#this is by design because he sees the same thing in both cheap and expensive models. repairs would've cost $700 and the same thing#would happen again. he suggested a Speed Queen because they will last for decades. especially in a household of 2#unfortunately they're ~$1000 USD which is money we do not have. we spend $80-$100 each month doing laundry but we#can't afford $1000 all in one go. that'll be a future ko-fi goal.
