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. :')

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.

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

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.

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

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)

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!!!'

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.

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

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.'

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
