#and i am frankly not ready for that

[jinxed-sinner]

I am simultaneously terrified and excited to see Alastor and Vox's backstory honestly. On one hand Viv said it's "complicated and sad" but on the other I swear I remember Amir Talai said ITS SAD ON ALASTOR’S SIDE? (don't quote me on that I remember seeing something about it but can't find anything about it)

What the fuck did Vox do? He's not the type to take any accountability for a relationship not working out (whether it's romantic or not), is he blaming Alastor for something that was entirely or mostly his fault? Is Vox the main reason Alastor hates modern technology so much? Was Vox stalking Alastor before the series ever started? Was Vox ever NOT a fucking weirdo towards Alastor?

I have so many questions that I genuinely want answers to but at the same time I'm terrified to know the answers. Like I want to know what makes them "sad and complicated" but I ALSO DON'T because I don't know if I'd be able to emotionally handle it and it literally gives me butterflies every time I remember it's even going to be expanded on in the show itself

Obviously I can't be sure that AdieCraft is going to join Hermitcraft--nor can I even be 100% sure if Skizz, enough though I feel like there is strong evidence toward him joining. But as a general warning to everyone, do not get Too set on anyone in particular you like joining. I know tons of people want Joel, Lizzie, Fwhip, Jimmy, Marytn, Hbomb, etc and other large creators that are already closely associated with hermits. I have seen tons of theorization and speculation on them, they're definitely the most popular choices. But be prepared for that not happening, and be prepared to hype someone else up even if they're a small CC you've never heard of.

Everybody on my AdieCraft theory post from earlier has been nothing but nice about the possibility of him joining ofc, I just have a vague sense of worry when I see just how Sure some people on here are about other CCs. I just want people to be ready for the possibility they're wrong and ready to accept whoever the lucky person is! AKA feel free to theorize whoever you want but avoid getting your hopes up so much that you'll be disappointed or upset if the person you wanted doesn't join. That way we can welcome everyone <3

Food as a Motif in This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans Part 5

Part 4

The breakfast episode! I was very excited to see both of our couples get breakfast scenes this week, since breakfast has a level of domesticity to it that lunch and dinner sometimes lack. Breakfast scenes are often kept between lovers or family- people who would naturally be around first thing in the morning.

So now that Oab and Plawan have had their granita, we get to see Plawan making breakfast for Oab the next morning, and we get our daily recommended serving of gay bread.

I feel like this is a rather sweet gesture from Plawan, considering his panic the night before over having slept with someone that he's trying to scam. There's a level of care that goes into cooking for someone this early in the morning, even if it's a simple dish like this. Frankly, this is a far cry from the person in episode 1, who invited his agent to coffee only to ask her to cover the bill. Although he's still a beginner, Plawan is starting to discover the joy behind cooking for other people.

We now have a pretty solid pattern of Oab and Plawan feeding each other in turns, but it's always Oab giving Plawan one dish and Plawan giving Oab another dish--they haven't shared the same food yet, which, again, means that even though they're getting closer to each other, they haven't fully connected. They're in a pattern of flirting back and forth without finding a mutual balance.

So this sweet moment is then disrupted by Oab's work brain: he immediately begins critiquing the dish rather than simply letting himself enjoy it. Work gets in the way of the meal, just as it is getting in the way of their relationship. Plawan asks Oab if he likes him, and Oab tells him to wait until things with the restaurant have settled down.

But, in spite of his own doubts, Oab still makes an attempt to get closer to Plawan later in the episode, under the guise of taking the team out for dinner.

Oab gets the connective power of food.

And Kluer does, too.

But Methas's contract gets in the way of Oab and Plawan's development, the same way it does every time. After initially accepting, Plawan turns down the dinner invitation, leaving Oab to eat with Kluer and Punsib.

Punsib came here to eat, and he's gonna eat. In fact, he's the only one happily digging into the food. Kluer merely picks at the vegetables, ignoring the pork, and he comments directly on the fact that Oab isn't eating anything at all.

If eating with someone forms a connection, then not eating with them shows distrust and a lack of care, and it can damage a relationship. Not only is Plawan and Oab's relationship put under stress by Plawan's absence, but Kluer and Oab's relationship also becomes very strained as Kluer makes his intentions towards Plawan known. After this failed dinner outing, things only get worse at the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Methas and JJ get their own breakfast scene. JJ arrives at Methas' house, finds him buried in work, and it occurs to him to ask whether Methas has even taken time for breakfast. To which Methas responds that he only ever has coffee for breakfast. This falls in line with Methas' money-oriented mindset, since he would rather be making money as early in the day as possible, instead of stopping to eat. Methas' mindset of valuing money over people isn't limited to just other people- he considers money to be more important than his own health.

Luckily JJ is there to teach him otherwise. Again, there's a level of care that goes into making breakfast for someone, and it's immediately obvious how little care Methas has had in his life, based on both his response to JJ cooking for him, and the way he says he's "never eaten breakfast" in his life.

^ absolutely the face of a smitten man who's just had someone make him breakfast for the first time ever

JJ has only set up a place-setting for one because his intention is not to share a meal with Methas. His goal is to show Methas that people can be genuinely selfless, and this is just another example of that. He doesn't expect this to help him get closer to Methas, he just wants Methas to learn about doing nice things for other people.

But Methas is quick to stop him and invite him to sit. And after taking a single bite, he immediately compliments JJ and starts to ask about his life. And what does JJ do? He picks up a fork from the plate of fruit.

Let me tell y'all I never had so many feelings about a damn fork before. Because it's the way JJ doesn't even realize he's picked the fork up. He sets it down and tries to pull back, only to immediately pick it up again. JJ keeps being drawn into Methas' orbit in much the same way. Even though he tells himself he only thinks of Methas as a client, he stays later than he needs to, he makes him breakfast, and when he's not trying to bite Methas' head off... he catches himself actually enjoying being around him.

They were SO close to forming a connection here. JJ agrees with Methas about how much he has to take care of Plawan, JJ smiles... and then Methas offers to buy a clinic for him.

JJ has made breakfast for Methas, a domestic act of service, and Methas turns it into a moment to keep their relationship on a transactional level. And JJ immediately, definitively puts the fork down. "Are you planning to invest in me and squeeze profits from me every day?" From that point on, the conversation turns into another argument, and the connection is gone.

We are now more than halfway through a show about food, and neither of the main couples have had a proper meal together yet. Will we be seeing something different on Friday, or will the conflicts only deepen?

not to get controversial but i am an adamant believer that neither tsm and tlq are bad and that while their actions can both get pretty fucked up, theyre both reacting frankly the best way that they know how given the horrible situation theyve been forced into...

putting off doing actual work here’s what i think the kiddads go-to drinks are

grant - he’s a cider man, much to darryl’s dismay. occasionally dabbles in a craft ipa just to see what the fuss is all about. double vodka monster when he was younger but not so much now

nicky - has twelve jagerbombs and passes out in a bush before u even get to the clerrrb. total liability. pretends to like whiskey to be a hard man but it makes him cough every time

lark - end result of the ‘too much cheap horrible vodka in everything’ to ‘can only drink beer without getting war flashbacks’ pipeline

sparrow - i know in my heart of hearts he drinks like a teenage girl. blue wkd. echo falls summer berries. smirnoff ice. get this man in a field with a watermelon vk he’d be much happier for it

terry jr. - big into classic cocktails. master of the tequila sunrise. tolerance of a fuckin rhino. theatre kid! vodka cranberry will always do. whiteclaw if hes got a job to do

YouTube/Streamer update:

I just finished the stream overlays today and updated my Twitch info and plugins (?). I also signed on for a service that will relay the stream to both Twitch and YouTube at the same time. Normally this kind of extensiveness is delegated to two PCs, but alas, I don't have that setup. I might be able to use a laptop, but I'll look into that if things seem to be lagging/struggling. Really a test stream is sorely needed before I jump headfirst into it all.

Regardless, I think we're really close to officially being able to start this thing.

This is nice.
