"Yk what ticks me off??? when I come home to my house and I look in the counter and see cinnamon buns that my daughter made last night with a note 'don't eat' ARE YOU KIDDING ME WHY CANT I EAT!?? this my house, this is my kitchen counter, these are my cinnamon buns, that's my seran wrap that you used to cover the cinnamon, that's my mamo pad that you used to make the note, that's my pen that used to write 'don't eat'!

IT GETS BETTER.

You open the refrigerator and they got their names on different foods 'this is Sophie's' 'this is keefe's' 'Grady do not eat this!!!' What am I? an animal!?? This is my house I can eat whatever I want , anything under this roof is mine.

YOU GOT THAT!?? When you get your own house ima come to your house, ima eat everything in sight and leave little post its 'LOOK WHAT GRADY ATE'"

I actually really like how Diana's arms look, and that Star Sapphire's costume isn't vacuum-sealed onto her breasts like seran-wrap. Unfortunately, it does look like Star Sapphire's stomach has imploded as a trade-off, possibly to make her look like she has a butt which is usually why the tiny stomach or 90 degree back bent happens in comics.

Ok @consolecadet heres's an un-sourdough-ed sour loaf. I've only tried this once and your mileage may vary, but it came out pretty well and I'll probably make it again.

- 400g water

- 2 1/4 tsp yeast (one packet)

- pinch of sugar

- 100g tapioca starch

- 100g potato starch

- 100g brown rice flour

- 60g sorghum flour

- 40g millet flour (or teff or buckwheat, really whatever)

- 17g psyllium husk powder

- 10g salt

- 1 tbsp each apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and honey

Heat your water up to ~105F and whisk in the yeast and pinch of sugar. Allow to sit until foamy (5-10 min).

Meanwhile, mix all dry ingredients together. Once the yeast is active, add to dry ingredients along with the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and honey. Mix until fully combined and thickened. Give it a couple kneads for good measure, then cover with seran wrap and allow to rest on the counter ~2hrs. Shape into a boule and place in banneton. Allow to rise in the fridge overnight.

Preheat oven + Dutch oven to 500F. Once preheated, transfer loaf to parchment paper and score. Bake 15 min with the lid on, remove lid and bake 30 min more at 450F. Let cool!

Hey people, it's been a minute.

Let's talk about one of my favourite third culture characters, Amethyst from Steven Universe.

I'm gonna preface this by saying she in one of my top kins and I am so excited to be talking about her.

So the thing about my girl Amethyst, her third cultureness is very... understated... In that isn't not a major plotpoint.

I'm pretty sure this is because Steven already comes with a fair bit of the usual third culture angst and structurally it wouldnt make sense for them to both have the exact same character arc, especially being so close.

And honestly I don't think it's nesserary a bad thing. As much as a third culture character like Spider from Avatar can complement and enrich the narrative by being third culture, a character like Amethyst can do some pretty tangible good by just existing as she is (wich makes sense cuz that's kinda touched on in her character arc)

Her third cultureness isn't egnored: she's unlike the other Cristal Gems in that she's picked up human habits like eating and sleeping, playing video games, watching TV, having human friends, being the first to use phones (as well as being much more culturally American in general).

Her non human side is shown pretty cleverly. She's a gem of course, does and knows alot of gem stuff, but in particular, because she's immortal and doesn't need basically anything to survive, she can be super disregarding of things humans need to make money and live off, or will take them time and energy they don't always have to fix (just like the other Cristal Gems)

Or

This totally feeds into her immaturity, since she didn't develop under the strict culture of Homeworld like all the other gems, but the chill, flowy environment that is beach city. Pair that with the fact of her having basically no physical chalanges while living on earth and you can see how she would develop an "the whole world is my playground" mentality.

Speaking of her development, let's talk about that!

*Proceeds to rant about character design for a while*

Ok so her shapeshisfting powers are super interesting, because as we can gleen from the movie, when she first emerges she copied and shapeshisfted into who or whatever she came across to get her bearings.

(I'm gonna say that's some developmental issue unique to her or maybe all overcooked gems, since we see other quartzes emerge and they don't do that, maybe that's coding for something, not sure).

Her copying is very in character for a third culture kid, and if you look at her formations in order it kinda seems like she's inadvertantly copying the developmental pattern of a human child? (over a much longer time ofc). Then she went through a long pase of partially covering her gem with her shirt and also after a while she gives herself bra straps wich (much like the extra cleavege rose gave herself) she absolutely couldn't have needed, probably copying humans.

Then in future her design speaks volumes! Her top and shoes are that gem-wear seran wrap stuff, ofc with that little unnecessary rip around her gem cuz she gotta. And then those cute frayed jorts with the stars on being so human and organic. It's all really saying, "I'm a bit of both worlds and we all cool with it."

More thoughts on the rip: it could be ripping the gem-wear to say I'm not JUST a gem, highlighting her human side, it could be there to reveal her gem/draw attention to it like "I'm Amethyst, loud and proud", it could be just cuz she really f***** loves ripped clothes. Idc wich any works good 4 her.

It really shows her full journey of self acceptance.

I feel like alot of the emotional pitfalls Amethyst runs into during her character arc are also very relatable to me at least as a third culture person, even if in her case they aren't directly realted.

Feelings of guilt for existing, feelings of not belonging, self isolation, feelings of not being good enough, comparing yourself to others and rebelliousness are all pretty common.

So it makes nothing but sence for her to be quietly third culture.

Also this:

Wich is the lerfect segway into:

My big PSA related rant

This... This will end me. Honestly I'm not even mad about the style rn.

REBECA you could have chosen ANY other Cristal Gem from this one.

The problem here is, I could see a bunch of humans discriminating against Amethyst for whatever reason actually having an impact on her. Amethyst is the ONLY cristal gem who could tangibly be vulnerable to any form of gem racism, garnet and pearl would just pick the haters up and put them back over the fence.

This whole thing is just highlighting how you didn't explore that angle. Not to mention that the whole show established her to be very close to humanity, and then she just turns to the camera and says "wtf, I'm actually nothing like people"? It just feels wrong.

Also you gave my girl the most handfisted one, idk why those two googly eyed toddlers having a detailed understanding of the neuances of racism seems somewhere between unrealistic and straight up bizarre.

(Ok I tell a lie, the guitar dad one was kinda a mess but nobody even remembers that one so whatever)

That aside, this one should have been on Garnet, she is the most detached from humans of the trio (except for pearl, but I think she's better in that classroom scenario), she should have been the one saying "yea, comparing us ist right" and it would have made sence because it's already evident in the show.

Amethyst should have been the one at the playground, she doesn't even have to drop out of the sky, its AMETHYST! she can totally just be hanging there.

They did her so dirty! At the end she even gets pissed off about having to stay longer to fix the thing SHE had a problem with.

Don't get me wrong, ist an invaluable message and Im totally on board but gurl what happened?

Hit the image limit... Gonna make a part 2 and get back on the original point oml

It's an interesting sort of revelation to find   dismemberment   so enjoyable. There was something in the method, in the repetitive motion os sawing, snapping, sawing, pulling, and repeating that felt more comforting than any amount of meditation ever could have. At first she was nervous. Could you believe it? Nervous! Even Elizabeth surprised herself sometimes. The nervousness is quick to dissipate into ease as soon as she finds her rhythm, however, and in no time at all is her first victim cut apart, blood only staining the tarp and seran wrap beneath her, covering her.

She turns, lifting herself up to her feet when she's caught off guard and thrown off balance, staggering back at the alarming sight of someone looming over her.

       ❝ Fuck! ❞   Immediate curse as her eyes snap to the figure's, her hands snatching up the saw she'd used moments before, ready to use again if need be.

I have a fruit fly infestation in my house, and I've tried traps with wine and apple cider vinegar to minimal results. So, I pulled out an old gross bubble tea thing I had left in my fridge for a few weeks (I am bad at dealing with garbage - so yes, I know why I have fruit flies ((yay, adhd and depression!))) and covered the opening with seran wrap with little holes poked in it and those fuckers love it.

Gonna catch them all, like fucking pokemon.

hey yall I know this is fiction and it’s turtles so you’re free to reply with what you want but PLEASE keep in mind when going to a bar/club/alcoholic venue:

- keep your drink covered AT ALL TIMES (you can use seran wrap or your hands or one of those Nightcap covers)

- if you have to go anywhere (eg bathroom) always leave it with someone you trust, NEVER take a stranger’s offer to watch/hold your drink

- you can buy tests online to test your drink if it’s been spiked, keep them on hand and DO NOT drink until the test results come back (usually a few minutes, the colored dot will change if it’s been tampered with)

- signs of a spiked drink include cloudiness, sinking ice, unusual smells, a different color, unusual bubbliness

- if you see someone trying to mess with drinks notify the bartender IMMEDIATELY

- if something does happen CALL 911 AND GO TO THE HOSPITAL ASAP.

- NEVER go out alone, always bring friends/family/coworkers, and keep an eye on them too

Hey now, be careful with what you accept at bars

NOT TCEST NOT TCEST NOT TCEST

>two older men approach you

>they're a little sleezy?

>they offer you a drink. you've never seen drinks glow like that

[They place the dough into an oiled bowl, coat it lightly in some more, and then cover it with some cling/plastic/seran wrap. They're smiling and talking as they do]

I know! Honestly, human anatomy is so interesting. I wish Hatchetfield High offered - shit, cling wrap is such a pain in the ass to tear - offered a course in it, but I've been all over the internet just researching.

I lowkey kinda wanna just open myself up to see if there's anything in there or if it's just a wormhole of some kind. I won't, obviously - I'm curious, not dumb - but I really just wanna put myself under a microscope.

Of course Hun. Go ahead and wash your hands then come on back.

gynandromorph replied to your post: no matter what, i can’t change my high school...

meredith PLEASE tell me this design was not so very “invader zim” by chance, was you teenage self a zim fan

...FUCK

yeah, to an obsessive degree, for around 2-3 years

it was basically what inspired me to join deviantart and start posting artwork online

tbh, the entire reason i made that ‘hey what does my art style remind you of’ post a while back was to gauge how much of that is still recognizable in my art style, because it absolutely was a few years back and i could NOT tell then

there’s some stuff about that style that i still like and don’t mind influencing my work (interesting color palettes, heavy use of strong shapes that you need to learn how to turn in space in order to draw correctly, impressive line weights and shading for a television cartoon from that era especially) 

but then there’s other shit like ‘every main character had the same body type (skinny cylinder with cube on top)’ and ‘almost nobody in real life actually stands with their arms straight down at their sides and their hands uncomfortably angled upwards behind them’ that are less desirable art traits, to me, and BOY did they take me a long time to unlearn

By this point, E's eyes are sparkling as she watches it in the mirror. She agrees and lists off the antibiotic lotion and need to keep out of the sun or pool for a while and Orion seems to agree.

"Wow, this is really cool, this is just, wow." Grinning but not great at words, she finds a way to express that it is amazing before gently covering up (they usually put seran wrap on it for the first day so, which allows this lol).

After more awkward complimenting, E at least leaves a very nice tip, about 50% give or take (man I don't know how to translate my tips into G. I always give extra large tips to hair stylists, tattoo artists and other services directly involved with your body because that is the last thing you want done poorly)

"So, what do you think?" E asks Pop. She leaves it a bit open, suggesting she was either asking about the tattoo or the tattoo experience in general.

Pop admires the tattoo with pure adoration.

Pop: it’s super sexy and I mean that in a total platonic and romantic way. It looks great!

Lol what?
