From the Halloween asks:
✨ - Best Halloween memory?
Ohhhhh hmm. I had a lot of fun trick-or-treating at Disney World while I was a teen, but admittedly the people I usually went with... make it less of a positive memory, in retrospect. One year we did all make homemade Lock, Shock, and Barrel masks and we looked fantastic. lmao
I also have really, really loved some of Sleep No More's Halloween parties, but I've never actually gone on Halloween proper, I don't think...
I lived on a floor full of Ancient Studies/Museum Studies majors when I was a freshman in college and we all watched The Mummy and wrapped each other up in toilet paper and that was fun, too...
Honestly, though, if it comes to like Pure Joy, there was this one year I went trick-or-treating with my best friend in Ohio. We were probably like... idk, 8? And it was the absolute apex of the Wonder Ball craze.
(For my non-American followers, they were sort of like Kinder Eggs but usually had toys relating to popular children's brands like Disney. The toy version was eventually made illegal here just like Kinder Eggs are, lmao. They replaced the toy with shitty candies.)
My dad never let me get one at the grocery store when he let me pick out a treat because they were so expensive (a whole dollar, lmao) so I desperately wanted one. They still had toys in them back then and everyone wanted one. But I'd never gotten one.
So Jody and I go trick-or-treating and we come to this quiet cul-de-sac that apparently no kids went to...? And there was this nice couple there who had clearly decided to go all-out for Halloween and they'd bought an entire box of Wonder Balls. Since no other kids had shown up, they let Jody and I take like five each and it was glorious.
I remember going back to her house and her dad had the Simpsons Halloween special on TV (fun for me as I was not allowed to watch The Simpsons back then) and we broke open our Wonder Balls and had a great night. :')
#while I do not remember them (so they can't be the best memory) some other fun stories from my very young childhood:#my parents dressed me up in increasingly bizarre food-related costumes#like a mouse stuck in a block of cheese and a taco and broccoli and a juice box and a bag of jelly beans#I've seen the pictures and I was EXTREMELY cute#apparently the broccoli one didn't go so hot because mama put me in a green sweatsuit and glued green cotton balls on a shower cap#and had me hold stalks of broccoli#but I really liked broccoli#it was my favorite vegetable#so I kept eating it throughout the night...#so by the end of the night it was... not obvious what I was#also once my dad dressed up as a cow but his face paint scared my sister so much that she locked him out of the house lmao#less fun memory: when my aunt was dying I had to trick-or-treat at a hospital one year#I was a little clown IIRC and I couldn't have been more than about 4#not really sure how it worked out but I do actually remember doing it bc it felt so surreal

Daily reminder that fruit and veggies don't have to be "healthy" to be nutritious. Drink that fruit juice from concentrate. Eat that jam and nut butter. Use fruit and vegetables out of a can. Eat a dessert with fruit in it. Snack on salted nuts (in moderation) or dried fruit. Literally any way you can get fruit and vegetables into your body is better than none at all.
If fresh fruit and veg aren't available to you, take too much energy to eat or prepare, or if you just can't bring yourself to eat them, whatever way you can eat them is good enough.
#cripplepunk#cripple punk#disability#actually disabled#neurodiversity#Personally I buy two big bottles of different mixed fruit smoothie every week because I know I have the energy to drink them#And I made a trail mix of my favourite fruit and nuts to take my meds with in the evenings#I also keep a pack of those microwave steam in the bag vegetables in the freezer for a side with certain meals#I really like the broccoli carrot and sweetcorn one#And they're chopped up small enough to be easy and low energy to eat with no cutting up required

Oikawa solos Sukuna this, Oikawa best anime villain that, may I propose this:
Hinata Shoyo is the strongest newgen mc ever, the first time he went to nationals he absolutely flattened every single one of his opponents, he was literally 3/4 everyone’s size and was still giving an assbeating to opponents who had years more experience, strength, and height than him, he n his team took down the RUNNERS UP of the previous tournament on their first try (I would literally go home crying if I was inarazaki ngl), kenma the smartest character in the show tried to shut him down but he said HELL no and instead got a massive jump buff 💀, then he went toe to toe with another little giant as his rival except that mf was literally a senior while he was a FRESHMAN with his FIRST proper volleyball team ever (like let’s not forget he didn’t even have a proper team before karasuno and it was his first go at everything and he still hauled ass and hard carried)
guys Hinata LITERALLY couldn’t be taken down by anyone except himself and his own immune system. Genuinely Atsumu said “ohhh it took all of us to take him down” WRONG literally all of you got your asses handed to you by that tiny kid and I promise he would’ve done the same to Kamomedai and gone on to win Nationals w karasuno in his first year if his own immune system didn’t betray him which is genuinely just bad luck guys like come on
#this is a joke#but also not really#the UNFAIRNESS of it all bro#like it’s actually insane how much the first years hard carried Karasuno ngl#like vs kamomedai#Hinata and Tsukishima both got subbed out#and then they were IMMEDIATELY cooked#oh yeah#manga spoilers#btw#haikyuu manga spoilers#guys Hinata could beat Deku in a fight trust me bro#one spike to the face and that broccoli mf is cooked#I would’ve done anythinggg to see a bit more of Hinata as a third year and how strong he would’ve become by then#ugh#shitpost#haikyuu#haikyuu!!#hinata shoyo#hq#hinata shoyuo#karasuno

My parents bought their 4 bed 3.5 bath house 32 years ago for $145,000 (originally $200,000). This summer a similar house a block away (similar age, 4 bed 3.5 bath, slightly smaller lot) went up for $800,000. It's since been reduced to $650,000 and they put some more work into it, but it's still on the market. I know interest and investment and overall cost of living raise prices, but that just seems like highway robbery to me.
#stupid rant is stupid#one day i'll own a house#maybe next year#still trying to get my health figured out first#one major stressor at a time lmfao#i do go have my food allergy testing today so maybe i'll learn something#i'll keep my hopes low lol#might have to call my surgeons nurse again#i needed one more quiet day at home to do nothing#but yeah the neighborhood i'd really like to buy in has older smaller houses#and theyre all going for 300 or 400 k i think#where they went for 100 k#the math aint mathing and im not good at math but i know that much#at least groceries were surprisingly cheaper yesterday#i got broccoli for 1.45 a lb#that hasnt happened in YEARS

i love to cook and i love food! i love cooking and i love eating! i love making food and then eating it! wait what do you mean i have to do this three times a day every day for my entire life and also dishes and grocery shopping and
#brought to you by i do genuinely really enjoy cooking but once ive cooked im like. ok im done now right. right#i made up a banger dish cobbled together from eight different recipes blogs that's healthy filling and satisfies my pickiness#what do you mean i now i have to figure out what to cook and eat AGAIN three hours later#also every recipe is written for like. feeding a table. what if im 23 and just feeding my own singular self#i made a really tasty kabocha squash gratin a couple weeks ago and the first two nights it was good#but by night three or four of kabocha squash gratin i was ill just looking at it and there was still an entire casserole dish of it left#and dont tell me to freeze things. the freezer is way full and it is also the place where food goes to get forgotten about#until the end of time or until its freezer burnt or until i get tired of playing jenga and just start tossing things#also you go grocery shopping you get healthy stuff like vegetables and then you make your meal and then you have to do it again#but by the end of week 2 your vegetables are bad. so now you're eating tuna rice again. or frozen broccoli in mac n cheese

My whole life I’ve loved thanksgiving box stuffing. It’s one of my top five favorite foods..I look forward to thanksgiving every year purely for stuffing. Recently I’ve had an awakening and like. Realized I can just make stuffing whenever I want. I can buy a box of stuffing and make it in like 6 minutes. ..eggs are also one of my fav foods, so for dinner tonight I said fuck it and made eggs, avacado toast, and stuffing and lemme tell you it FUCKED
Like hell yeah I’m an adult! I have my own money and free will and I can just combine all my fav foods together for dinner regardless of what anyone else would think about it . Eggs and avacado toast a breakfast food ? FUCK it! Stuffing usually only for holidays or big family gathering meals? FUCK it! Hell yeah I’m enlightened
#mott txt#eggs and avacado toast have been one of my fav meals for years#I mash the avacado with lemon juice salt and pepper#then after it goes on the toast I joint everything bagel seasoning and red pepper flakes#then I like REALLY runny yolks so I put one yolk on the toast#and with the stuffing? immaculate#I also put green onions in the eggs and had broccoli on the side …#I’ll be thinking abt that meal for a while…plus the stuffing will last a while left over and a box was only a dollar!#like no one I know likes stuffing but god it fucks#why am I still going on abt this#sorry

Snoopy #5
6/10/2024
#peanuts#snoopy#art#5#really idk what to say about this one. brought to you by my love for broccoli and lack of free time i guess!#i drew this in like 10 minutes :[]#started this blog to make myself draw more but all it's done so far is make me realise how little free time i have now :'(#there is a reason this blog is not called onegoodsnoopyaday and that reason is because that name would be a lie okay#and you know what they say. quantity over quality! (nobody says that)

If you've never watched a BobbyBroccoli Video please do yourself a favour and check him out - his videos are fascinating, well-told and look amazing
(I genuinely have a bit of an art crush on him because his stuff is so good 🙈)
Here's one of his videos about something happening in science (you don't need to know anything about physics, he explains things very well)
youtube
He's one of those youtubers i often forget are an absolute favourite of mine until he releases another video and i remember 'oh right him! i love his stuff!!!'
#mine#bobbybroccoli#bobby broccoli#youtube#video essay#victor ninov#ive never seen anyone talk about him anywhere so i thought id recommend him maybe some of my mutuals would enjoy his stuff#idk man every time i watch a video of his i go !!!!!#i have no clue about physics and generally dont find it interesting but he does a great job explaining whats going on and why it is importa#and a lot of his videos are about people making big world-changing mistakes and its very fascinating to watch him tell the story#because he is really good at telling the story to build up the tension and stuff i think#anyway if u like long video essays with a calm but nice sounding narrator please check him out#(fun fact i named my fave oc (nikolaj ninov) after the guy this video is about (because of this video) lol)#also i feel very strongly about my favourite youtubers and if anyone needs recommendations feel free to hmu i love to talk about it

Picky eater rant of the night people ALWAYS assume that if a kid is “picky” it’ll mean they just don’t like healthy food. I didn’t like CHOCOLATE for YEARS because you know what? Chocolate simply isn’t that great. Grown adults tried to pressure me into liking chocolate bc apparently kids can’t jsut ‘not like chocolate’. I didn’t like chocolate until I stopped getting as overwhelmed by it. For years I didn’t eat most things chocolate bc chocolate is such an intense flavor that I simply just couldn’t stand it. Chocolate was just too much flavor. Im autistic, it took years for me to be able to eat things with a ton of flavor bc it was just too much for me. The same reason I didn’t like chocolate is why I didn’t like seasonings on my food. The idea of ‘healthy and unhealthy’ foods DOESNT EXIST to a child’s tastebuds. It exists to their brain, yeah! But a kid does not inherently go “this food is healthy therefore I hate it” and the idea that children being picky is in some way spiteful or out of being too spoilt to eat healthy food is INSANE to me and plainly WRONG. Whenever I see posts about people who actually give their kids grace and help them expand their pallets, it doesn’t take much to realize that these kids also don’t eat things like pizza(which I didn’t like much as a kid bc I didn’t like tomato sauce) and chocolate and other foods that are considered junk food. Why is there this idea that it’s a kids Vs adults thing when a kid simply has different tastebuds.
#even today people will be weird about me not liking certain chocolate things#ie I still don’t really like chocolate ice cream#but the sheer amount of shit I got for it as a kid#while also getting shit for not liking tomato products and anything spicy#ughhhhhh it boils my blood#kids are not doing things to spite you!!! they are just also people!!!#why is this so hard!!!#ugh!!!!!#as a kid I LOVED BROCCOLI and HATED CHOCOLATE#and still got shit for being picky#like ughhhhhhhh#i used to order pizza with less or no sauce#it took me years to enjoy frozen pizza bc the sauce was different than the ordered kind so I just wouldn’t eat it#i didn’t eat pepperoni pizza until last year

Eating a "big salad" for lunch and it's gross and I hate it and I want fried chicken or oily stew. Try as I might to force-feed myself vegetables for the nominal sake of health, I Hate them, I have a toddler's palate. Anyway we have spinach, kale, carrots, purple cabbage, roasted broccoli, roasted sweet potato, chickpeas, almonds, and "green goddess" dressing, it's the least objectionable salad one could possibly assemble for my tastes and I'm making that poison sticker Yuck! face with every bite
UPD: taking the L and admitting I do feel much better physically after eating a vegetable for the first time in days lmao
#I like pickled asparagus and roasted broccoli and root veg and that's It#I have tried so many hacks to trick myself into eating veg but#Since I can't cook reliably without fainting#It really comes down to force-feeding myself a big salad a couple times a month

This is such a funny comment, because I can't really see Jing Yuan being stressed out about something like height. I suppose height and, consequently, muscle mass are important for soldiers, but they live in a fantasy world where a girl built like a porcelain doll can swing around a great sword bigger than her entire body so...
I can't help but wonder if Jing Yuan tries to gently tease Yanqing about his height since a lot of kids are sensitive about that sort of thing, and Yanqing is just like
Yanqing, thinking: "Man, the General sure does bring up my height a lot. It must really be weighing on his mind... He's such a kind master."
Yanqing, out loud: "Don't worry, General. :) I won't let height get in the way of my career as a Cloud Knight. I'll do my best to make you proud even if I'm this short forever!"
And Jing Yuan's just standing there like 'that was a joke, son. It flew right by you.'
#alternatively jy tells yanqing to eat his vegetables or he won't grow taller#and yanqing's just like I don't really care lol#JY: ...well I DO. Eat your broccoli#honkai star rail

i have to wonder what super hardcore militant vegans think should be done about obligate carnivore animals, because in all my painfully-rapidly-approaching-30-years i've literally never actually seen anyone give a clear consistent much less halfway feasible answer on that
#mostly i've just seen like “how dare you ask questions you just want an excuse to murder you're sealioning ect”#or worse some vague and wildly improbable nonsense about like. fake robot animals covered in beyond meat or something equally convoluted#which is a thing i did see someone suggest as a serious answer#i mean i already know they think i'm a genetically inferior hateful vampire that should starve to death for the greater good#because my exact combination of health conditions make meat basically the only semi-safe way i can get close to enough nutrients#i know this because they have repeatedly told me that i'm either evil or should be sacrificed or both#and yelled at me for asking questions by bringing up the whole disabled thing and then they're like#“a lot of vegans i know are advocates for disability!” as if that ever means jack shit in the society that results from anything#no matter what you do a vast majority of people in any given society will *not* be advocates for the disabled. i'm sorry they just won't.#and what do you think public perception of people who physically can't survive like that is going to skew towards#in a society founded on the belief that non-vegan diets are evil?#at absolute best we're looking at being a heavily marginalized class generally seen as something like vampires and our existences taboo.#(as if these type's own insistence that they should be allowed to harass and shame people doesn't disprove their assertion that we won't be#thinking it could possibly go any better than that is a fucking fairy tale. human nature doesn't work that way.#you simply cannot eliminate the human desire to designate and abuse a class of have-nots. the absolute best you can do is mitigate damage.#take it from someone who's been multiple kinds of disabled and chronically ill all my life. people will not “just”. ever.#i get this even from people who are otherwise very aware of and VERY GOOD at avoiding this sort of thinking#“i'm a disability advocate!” no you are not. you are a poster. my experience has taught me that what people advocate for in their free time#means precisely jack shit for how they will actually act when faced with the situations they make otherwise rational posts about#and the fact of the matter is even if you somehow really are the perfect disability advocate a majority of people WILL NOT BE YOU.#a majority of people in society will be margrat from accounting who clutches her pearls when she sees the gays and thinks autism isnt real#and who has never had a nuanced thought in her life and actively does not want to#a vast majority of people in your Vegan Utopia will not be you and your friends who march with wheelchair users and volunteer at the shelte#a vast majority of people in your Vegan Utopia will be jenny who starved 8 cats to death on broccoli because she can't be bothered#and who thinks that “carnivores” are actual nazis and don't deserve healthcare because she saw someone say that online.#ALWAYS assume your society will be made up mostly of the worst kind of person it can because it WILL ALWAYS BE TRUE and you can't change it#most people seek the low-effort option. and evil is most often banal and low-effort.#i'm just so fucking tired of every single even vaguely lefty-adjacent political movement simultaneously acting like i don't fucking exist#and at the same time that i need to be sacrificed to achieve Utopia. god. at least conservative whackjobs are upfront and honest about#how they think that i'm a burden on society that needs to be Eugenics'd . rather than trying to morally gaslight me about it.
