hiiii omg introduction to the fact that our Norse AU comes from The Last Unicorn!! so when we mention the Norse gods me and @clusterpuppy have come up with they’re basically caricatures and different spin offs of the gods but in THIS universe YIPPEEE

but Thor has a silly group of friends he likes to be around on Midgard to escape the craziness on Asgard! From left to right we got Dmitri, Aimery, Billie, Mirche, Roland, Thor himself, and Neisti! Also his goats are featured in this piece too ^u^

close ups!!! back at it again with trying to mimic the shows style but the show does not include characters that look like all of them 💔 so you see more of my style leaking in this one but it’s okay I had to simplify them as best as I could. I’ll make a masterpost of them all later going into detail!!

Reminder that hating humans is not an alternative to loving nature. You add nothing by saying you wish human kind went extinct. You add nothing by saying humans are irredimable monsters. You are helping no harmed animal nor plant nor fungi nor microorganism by shitting on humans and, as a nature lover, you are my least favorite kind of "nature lover" because you don't like nature, you hate humans

Okay no you know what? I’ve held my tongue on this for long enough (everyone in my life knows my opinion on this topic) - I have a very deep beef with chain restaurants changing their soft pretzels as if that isn’t a direct personal attack against me, specifically. First it was Applebees beer cheese and pub pretzels like 5 years ago. They used to look like this:

Long, skinny, look like they’d be dry as fuck but they were soft on the inside with a delightfully crisp exterior and the beer cheese was DIVINE. This is what they replaced it with:

This switch happened around the same time Applebees added breadsticks w/ Alfredo dipping sauce to their list of appetizers. When I tell you that these things are just straight up the breadsticks with a spray tan. I’m not sure if the breadstick flavor made the beer cheese taste like Alfredo, if they mistakenly gave me Alfredo sauce, or if they straight up replaced the beer cheese with Alfredo sauce. I can tell you that I tried it at two different locations (hoping the second would have the old ones) and then swore off Applebees forever.

But you wanna know a recent, even more heinous soft pretzel betrayal? Monk’s Bar & Grill. I don’t think I’ll even have to explain this one. Here’s the old pretzel option:

And here’s what they replaced it with:

They don’t even salt these bland, dry, cheap bites. Monks, how could you?

I hope Culver’s doesn’t get any wise ideas from these chumps.

This isn’t specifically sports related but I follow a lot of Spanish motorsports professionals like Marc Marquez and they seem to have prawns or oysters a lot and I was wondering if seafood is a big thing in Spain or if it depends on what region you grew up in or maybe total personal preference. Also what are some all time favourite Spanish dishes or the most popular ones?

Hiii, anon! Seafood is absolutely a big thing in Spain, especially in coastal areas (which is a significant part of the country, bear in mind that Spain takes up most of the Iberian peninsula; so all sides of the country open up to either the Mediterranean, the Cantabrian sea, or the Atlantic ocean save for the corner where we border Portugal and the small border with Andorra/France). Also, this got long, so please check under the cut for a very detailed explanation of Spanish eating habits! (I got carried away 😂)

Fish and seafood are also a main component of the so-called “Mediterranean diet”! The following graphic is a good summary of how food intake is structured in Spain, and I can confirm that most middle-class and up people in the country do indeed stick to it (though it’s true that the crisis and increased poverty due to the recession have started shifting our food habits, but that’s a discussion for another day). This charter is exactly how I grew up eating at home as a kid, and how I still feed myself now that I live on the other side of Europe (old habits die hard!). Fun fact, we also had these types of charts drilled into us in school lmao, to “learn to feed ourselves properly”:

The general rule of thumb is to have at least 5 pieces of vegetables/fruits across all meals of the day, fish at least twice a week, poultry meats once a week, and red meats only a couple of times a month. But specific parts of the countty, notably the center planes and the Cantabrian region, follow slightly modified versions of this with higher red meat intake, due to the fact that cattle farming is a significant component of their regional economy. They also just have really good quality red meat, I always end up eating more red meat when I’m up north in Asturias visiting my family than I do normally hehe.

As to popular dishes, tough question! There’s too many of them and they vary from region to region haha. But some staples that are well-known across the entire country are potato omelet (the Vasque make really good ones), gazpacho (of Andalusian origin, the best, most refreshing thing to drink when it’s 45 celsius outside), paella (Valencian, do NOT make it with seafood. Authentic Valencian paella is made only with game meat, usually rabbit), and then we have good hearty stews like cocido (most popular variant is the Madrid one) and pote/fabada (from Asturias). Fish is eaten wide and far, but most of the time is cooked very minimally (just pop it in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil and some vegetables to roast).

tulpa makers are truly something else i still havent forgotten my former friend who had a bunch of tulpas from btg and one of them was their boyfriend but they also fucked w a few others and they always kept me updated on whatever the fuck their tulpas were doing and i remember them also making a tulpa oc for one of the guys since they were tired of him being upset about being a side hoe. They also brutally tortured some of their tulpas just for fun but then made em go back to normal which i mean if you really believe these are real beings with sentience then i dont know why i didnt block their ass instantly bc that's a huge red flag.

i hung out with both of them again over the weekend and it's going really well* and this is still wild to me. it's been exactly what i needed- just easy and good, and good in different ways bc they're so different from each other! but i don't think i've fully described either here

Bookstore: very tall. verrry sexy voice. nb and bi. does not do small talk.** similar taste in media to my own, esp movies, book genres, and spooky podcasts; every time we hang out is like (sexually charged) book club. big nose. always looks exhausted (hot). younger than me but an oldest sibling and lowkey has oldest sister syndrome, but not in a bad way.

Tech Guy: medium height. v round. v much a standard normal straight guy*** but sweet? adventurous- seems kinda boring and normcore, but the lore keeps getting wilder. he's iranian (initiated his citizenship process immediately after the 2016 election (can successfully navigate bureaucracy (hot))) and has offered to take me on a date to his favorite little middle eastern grocery.**** maintains the exact level of beard scruff that makes me craaaazy. the EYEBROWS on this bitch!! older than me but a youngest sibling (with sisters, so like. he seems to understand that women are human beings).

Both: soft hands.***** lots of friends, including platonic female friends. dislike going out and doing things alone, except for going to the movies, which they do often. when asked what dnd class would you be, personally, like you as the person you are now, both said... bard.****** idk how to feel ab that one.

so i like them both and i'm also glad i started seeing them at the same time, bc i think if it was just one or the other, things would have gotten too intense too fast (bc they both like me A LOT and i'mmmmm enjoying that more than i would have expected, i am tempted to overindulge in such adoration). as-is, i've made a list of guidelines for myself that's helping me to maintain boundaries and keep things as tidy as i can. it helps that they're both good at communicating and planning!

anyway next weekend i'm hanging out with the two friends who set me up with these ppl and i need to think of something very good and special to bring them to say thanks!!!

This is funny af but many of my friend groups and I stopped going out and it was like once a week (fast food or not)

In case anyone's wondering why I am posting more than usual, it is because I am drunk (see post on adding thyme to Limoncello spritz for explanation).
