Of course! She signs off her emails w/ different quotes about potatoes and was a great supervisor all around, wrote a whole book on them too so I trust her potato expertise haha

The potato’s reach is crazy actually they’ve been eaten for at least 12,000 years, went from being an unknown spud outside of South America prior to the 16th ce to being grown in every country today, like who else is doing it like the potato?

Part of the reason they’re Great is that potatoes are pretty good crops in terms of (a) nutrition, (b) yield, (c) ablility to grow in a variety of climates and (d) hide that you’re growing them so you can commit tax evasion and under report your harvest to the lord’s tax collector. (Assuming your field doesn’t get blighted of course.)

Tolkien couldn’t have escaped the potato because even from the start when some European schmuck asked the locals what that round thing in the dirt was, they knew it was important! And considering all the qualities of the potato above it was very quickly recognised as an ideal staple, especially by European peasants who absolutely Loved the weird earth apple truffle thing (there were…many names for it).

There’s that famous anecdote of Frederich the Great cleverly tricking reluctant peasants into embracing the potato, but the same tale is recorded in other countries using their own famous figures, and peasants have been eating potatoes long before old fritz began promoting them. Maybe it is less telling of the peasants, and more of the administration and state which was interested in controlling and influencing the public’s eating habits. The states are interested in using the potato to feed the people, and in turn the potato features so prominently in national discourse and consciousness it becomes a part of many European identities before long. And when these European countries decide to go out and colonise the rest of the world, they bring their “culture” with them, and that’s how you get records of “civilising” people by introducing potatoes to their potato-less, backwards society and such. Speed up to roughly 500 years later, you now get the potato in every nation of the world, yay!

Also, most importantly, Potato Tasty. Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew. You could care less about growing or eating potatoes for their nutrition if they tasted like the dirt they grew in, but no they fit incredibly well in so many different cuisines and dishes that idk a single country without a potato dish of some sort. If Jrrt himself tried to model middle earth after, idk. Greenland he Will Not Escape the Potato and honestly, why would you want to?

not even JRR Tolkien, who famously developed the concept of the Secondary World and firmly believed that no trace of the Real World should be evoked in the fictional world, was able to remove potatoes from his literature. this is a man who developed whole languages and mythologies for his literary world, who justified its existence in English as a translation* simply because he was so miffed he couldn't get away with making the story fully alien to the real world. and not even he, in extremis, was so cruel as to deny his characters the heavenly potato. could not even conceive a universe devoid of the potato. such is its impact. everyone please take a moment to say thank you to South Americans for developing and cultivating one of earth's finest vegetables. the potato IS all that. literally world-changing food. bless.

having thoughts about Isabeau’s fashion career, and how his artistic style would evolve over time. that it may be almost surface level at the start, as he’s still clinging to his gullible persona and perhaps not letting himself fully indulge in what interests him as a person for the sake of his appearance. the clothes he makes are only ever lightly experimental: with anything too “abstract” or overly personal being restricted to forbidden concepts in his sketchbook. he sticks to the book, stays true to teachings and the clothes he’s used to learning “sell the best”. and it does sell, both due to his reputation as “a savior of vauguarde”, but also because the clothes he first designs are safe and predictable. they’re something you can wear and say “I feel warm in this”, that “I could wear this every day”. Something that you can fall back on.

and then, as both his skills & his confidence in himself as an individual evolves, the clothing changes as well. he deviates from his usual reputation of softer and sturdier materials, and begins experimenting with strange patterns and very unconventional pieces. the safe clothes still exist of course, but even those take a life of their own, morphing into garments that aren’t so hardy or overly reliable. by this point, the things he makes are made because he wanted to get the idea out of his mind, and not worry about if it’s palatable for buyers. his ideas and feelings and genuine mindset shown unapologetically, slowly but surely making designs that please himself, rather than exist to sooth others.

Is there any other franchise or character that you're willing to do whatever this is?

The only other thing I’m dedicated enough to would be Halo, but as far as I’m aware of there would be nothing to post. Besides Cameo vids and cameos are usually just like birthday/congratulation messages. Not really stuff you’d post. And even if there were streams for me to go through, I don’t have the time to do so.

Unless you meant in a theoretical sense, assuming there was stuff to post and time wasn’t an issue. Then yes I’d probably have an account just for Halo stuff. Not a specific character though.

i feel like i’ve been WAITING for the other shoe to drop wrt people’s opinions about watcher for this very reason. not that i think the reaction is completely not understandable but the greater the parasocial relationship, the greater the fallout as soon as public opinion shifts. you don’t have a relationship with these people they’re just content creators, chill

[thats-my-passion-right-there]

I finally saw the mean girls musical (the movie one) I have so many fucking thoughts oh my god

Yeah idk man

[accursedvoid]

I think I’d like ‘grey jedi’ more as a morality/order choice if it wasn’t called ‘grey JEDI’ and had its own cool separate name like Jedi & Sith have.

Cause otherwise it just feels too jedi adjacent/too attached to said order - when I’d rather my character(s) not be connected to either side of the sith/jedi and have an option for my grey to light jedi/siths that aren’t truly attached to their orders/starting to go rogue from them/don’t conform to them to like align with than just ‘light sider/dark sider’

That way ‘Grey jedi’ as a term could just be applied to jedi that aren’t ‘Temple Jedi’ or whatever which is what I usually think of when I hear that term (not a whole separate order as canon puts it)

it sucks to have to be scared to update the game, no matter the size of the update, because you have no idea if it's going to break your game or not (not to mention going through the process of updating your mods)

damn the more time goes on, the more it really is obvious that there is nothing in the world that will stop some people from using twitter/x lmfao
