For the controversial ship asks: 👅💣💗💔
👅 Ship that you find most sexy: Unfortunately, at the moment, it’s ships that include my ocs. o3o Especially Liam. That desperate to please himbo can top and bottom with a crazy amount of enthusiasm. That’s not very controversial though. Hm.
Boyd Mosche/Ned Chicane from The Adventure Zone: Amnesty. Controversial because they’re toxic exes with a lot of drama and crimes behind them. Quickly followed by Elias Bouchard/Peter Lukas from The Magnus Archives, with similar divorced energy.
💣 Ship that pisses you off: ‘pisses me off’ is a strong term — most things I don’t ship I am simply neutral about. but alright, I’ll share publicly what I usually only say to friends in private: Dave/Karkat from Homestuck. I simply think their entire characters (mostly Karkat) were filed down to nothing but their relationship with each other. Their relationships with other characters started to feel thin. They felt at the same time codependent and like leftovers who were the last possible option for each other. I haven’t read Homestuck in ages, and I stopped reading it after the epilogue (I read Meat and skimmed Candy). I hear they’re officially canon now and maybe the writing got better, but as someone who likes both of those characters a lot I simply don’t like their ship. At least in Dave’s case I heard he and Dirk get some quality moments? That’s great!
edit: in fact, in Meat it seems to confirm my position further because it wasn’t until Karkat and Dave ‘broke up’ that Karkat really blossomed into a revolutionary leader independent in his own right. Which was my favorite part of the epilogues, though I still don’t know if I accept Meat and Candy as canon, really.
💓 Ship that you didn’t expect to ship but now do: Marcille/Laios from Dungeon Meshi. When I finished reading Dungeon Meshi the first time, the only ships I really saw any foundations for were Kiki/Namari and maybe Chilchuck/Senshi (though their lives really ended up pulling themselves in opposite directions). I’m a multi-shipper, though, and when someone brought up the possibility of Marcille and Laios, the second time I read the comic through I really saw what they meant. I had always liked their dynamic, but now I could see the deep respect, protectiveness, and compassion they came to feel for each other. They’re both my favorite characters in the story, they both deserve nice things, and they’re pretty perfect together.
💔 Ship that makes you sad: Oh, so many. I can’t even think of a controversial one. The first one coming to mind right now is D/Rogier from Elden Ring. It’s sad but poetic when at first you bond over your loneliness and finding someone who shares your interests, but slowly you find that your solutions to a problem are so fundamentally different from each other that you can’t reconcile that with how much you care for each other. D’s comments about Rogier in the Roundtable Hold reek of bitterness, but Rogier seems to still hold a saddened respect for D’s skill. Add in Fia’s involvement and how her companionship likely drove even more of a wedge between Rogier and D and you got the mixings of a perfect tragically doomed romance. Not to mention all three of them dying (without reconciling) based on your actions during the game.
Send me a controversial shipping ask!

Pickle Review #1
Today we are starting off with my FAVORITE pickle brand of late: Famous Dave's. Prior to these going on sale at my local grocery store, I didn't even know Famous Dave's made pickles and just knew them as "that chain BBQ place I liked when I was 6." But they do! Let's start off with their Sweet 'n Spicy Pickle!
Flavor: GREAT flavor - balances the sweet and spicy effectively. The "mild" spice ranking is accurate, though some might consider this pickle a little too sweet. The taste is just excellent and works well with the meat of the pickle itself. I slightly prefer the chip to the spear for this particular flavor, because the balance between the brine and pickle is a little bit better. 9.5/10
Crunch: Not the best crunch I've ever had but fairly solid. Obviously worse on the chip than the spear. 7/10
Brine: The brine is really what elevates these pickles for me. Famous Dave's keeps some of the spices in the brine, which makes for a really tasty and sweet flavor, similar to the pickles but also delicious on its own. I genuinely enjoy drinking this pickle brine. 10/10
Cost: $4.49. Reasonable price for a quality, weekly pickle but I usually only buy them on sale. 8/10
Overall score: 8.6/10.
A quality and flavorful everyday pickle that's reasonably priced! I definitely enjoy this pickle as an everyday snack!
#I review pickles#Please let me know if there are other rankings you would prefer#I have a LOT of pickle jars in my fridge#A LOT of brine#Only 2 have pickles in them tho#The evil. Mt olive. And famous Dave's devil spit pickle chips#Brine blog

This is a fun one. “Hi, Anna. Hi, Brian. I’m a chef, and I was always —” Chef! “I was always fascinated by the eating scenes in your show. So much so that one time I said to myself, ‘Fuck this,’ and I stopped the binge watch because we were locked down because of COVID. There is one specific scene at the end of an episode where Chuck and Ira are eating some meat, I guess. Please talk about those scenes, because obviously they are very important for you and Dave. Take care, Nuno.”
Oh, yeah, that scene where they’re eating meat, um, they go to both… they go to Peter Luger and, but — the episode starts at Salt Bae and ends at Peter Luger. Well, we were saying a lot in that episode about the intrinsic quality in things. Um… I think food — David and I think that the way people share mealtime in that space, and the kind of fellowship around that, always means something. In New York, the restaurants also say something about access and power and taste. And the show exists in those worlds. And so each of those things comes from hours of conversation and planning and thinking. And they all work — if they work, they all work together. So I’m glad when people like you, Chef, catch that and pick up on the significance of it. I don’t, like, wanna say too much about what each scene means. I really like leaving that up to the viewer. But there is zero doubt that it’s really important and significant to us.
How do you pick the restaurants? Or, like, what the characters are eating? What do you mean, how? Like, what — like, when you’re storyboarding, are you at one point like, “Okay, Chuck’s gonna be eating X in this scene?” Well, maybe some — Is that just kind of in, like… you just know, intuitively? Or is it —
No, we talk, Dave and I talk about it, and we’ll talk about it with Beth, too, who works with us on the show. And then, um… Or do you ever — Or we’ll talk to our locations department and — what? Do you ever, like, eat something and then think of the scene in which they’d be eating it after? Like, are you ever inspired by the food? Or is it always the other way? Well, you’ll go, we’ll go to a restaurant… yeah, any time I go to a restaurant, I’m like, “Could this be, does this make sense for the show?” But also, the meaning of the different restaurants in the city.
—————
I use index cards to, to put acts up with David. David and I do that, David writes ‘em, usually. You have a full season, though, lined out in your office. Yes, we use, for the season, we will put on a whiteboard — for the episodes, we do that, like, they go up on a whiteboard. But it’s still words, it’s not — and, and the visual thing’s just what follows what. So yes, there’s an order, and we’re looking at the order of scenes. But when I was young and I started watching and becoming obsessed with movies, I, it manifested in me by memorizing dialogue. Like, I think in terms of dialogue. My outlines are dialogue-heavy. I think of story in terms of the things people say. Mm-hmm. And that’s, you can see that in our work. Different people approach this stuff differently. I really like the way words sound, I really like meter. So for me, I need music, ‘cause sound is so important. So I have music going a lot of the time when I’m writing. And that music has a rhythm, and then that affects, maybe, the meter of how, like, the pace of the scene but also the meter of the dialogue. And then in my head, the dialogue, there’s a meter. That’s what pushes the story forward. And I’m always hearing it. I’m thinking in, I’ll say it out loud. I’m, I’m, I’m big on talking the story out and, and hearing it, and this goes, happens, and that happens, and that’s what helps me. But the visual stuff really helps people, and I think the main thing is, like, however it works for you is valid and I would just keep doing more of that until you find the thing. I mean, sometimes I can’t write a scene until I have the right music. And then sometimes I have to have no music and, and I need to just hear the, ‘cause I can’t quite find the meter, and the meter of the words is, is just… when the meter’s right, when I feel it bah-bit-dah-bah-bit, you know, however that works — that’s when I can, that’s when I can really go and fly.

Wendy’s Meal Deals
Wendy’s Meal Deals: Getting the Best Bang for Your Buck!
When it comes to grabbing a quick and delicious meal on the go, Wendy’s is often a top choice. With its famous square beef patties, fresh ingredients, and a long history of offering great value to customers, Wendy’s continues to be a favorite in the fast-food world. But what really sets Wendy’s apart is its ability to provide tasty meal deals that won’t break the bank.
In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into Wendy’s current meal deals, how to make the most of your money at Wendy’s, and what menu hacks can get you the most satisfying meal. So, whether you're looking for a lunch combo or something to satisfy your late-night cravings, read on to get the best value from Wendy’s!
1. Wendy’s 4 for $4 Meal Deal: The Classic Bargain
One of the most popular deals at Wendy’s is the 4 for $4 deal. This is a go-to choice for anyone looking to fill up on a budget. For just $4, you can get a full meal that includes:
A Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger or a Crispy Chicken Sandwich
4-piece nuggets
A small fry
A small drink
This is one of the best deals in fast food, especially when you compare it to competitors’ value menus. The 4 for $4 provides a well-rounded meal with a bit of everything—protein, carbs, and that essential fast-food flavor. It’s a perfect option for a quick lunch or when you need a low-cost meal that still satisfies.
Tips to Maximize the 4 for $4 Deal:
Customize your burger: Wendy’s is known for its flexibility. You can add extra toppings like onions, lettuce, or sauces without adding much to the price.
Upgrade your drink: If you're willing to spend a bit more, consider upgrading to a larger drink or opting for a Frosty for dessert.
2. The $5 Biggie Bag: More Food, Same Great Value
While the 4 for $4 is perfect for many, some people might want just a bit more. That’s where Wendy’s $5 Biggie Bag comes in. For just one more dollar, you get an even bigger meal:
A Bacon Double Stack or Crispy Chicken BLT
4-piece nuggets
Small fries
Small drink
The key difference here is the sandwich. With the Biggie Bag, you get more meat, and that can make all the difference if you’re extra hungry. It’s still incredibly affordable, and the quality of Wendy’s burgers makes this deal feel like a steal.
Biggie Bag Hacks:
Double up on nuggets: If you’re not feeling the fries, ask to substitute them for extra nuggets. Wendy’s staff are usually willing to make reasonable swaps, and this way, you get even more protein.
Mix it up: Feeling indecisive? If your location offers it, you can switch the sandwich for another type like a chicken sandwich or even try out different combinations to keep things exciting.
3. Wendy’s 2 for $6 Meal Deal: Ideal for Sharing
Wendy’s 2 for $6 deal is perfect for those looking to share or those who want to stock up on larger portions. For just $6, you get to pick any two items from the following:
Dave’s Single (a classic quarter-pound burger)
10-piece Chicken Nuggets
Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Medium Chicken Nuggets Combo
This deal allows for a bit of mix-and-match based on your mood. Feeling like beef? Opt for Dave’s Single. Prefer chicken? Go for the spicy chicken sandwich and nuggets. This meal deal can also be split with a friend or saved for later if you’re looking to stretch your meal into two sittings.
Tips for the 2 for $6 Deal:
Customize the sandwich: Like with the other deals, take advantage of Wendy’s flexibility to add or remove toppings to create the perfect sandwich.
Perfect for sharing: If you’re dining with a friend or family member, this deal lets you share the love without spending much. Combine it with an order of fries, and you’re set!
4. Mobile App Offers: Unlocking Secret Deals
One of the best ways to ensure you’re getting the most out of your Wendy’s experience is to use their mobile app. Wendy’s regularly updates its app with exclusive deals that you won’t find in-store. From buy-one-get-one deals to discounts on premium menu items, the app is your key to even more savings.
Some of the deals you might find include:
BOGO on premium burgers
Free fries with any purchase
Discounted combo meals
The app also offers a rewards program where you earn points with every purchase. These points can be redeemed for free items like a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger or Frosty.
Mobile App Tip:
Always check before ordering: Before you even step foot in Wendy’s, check the app for current offers. You can stack these deals with existing meal combos for extra savings.
5. Secret Menu Hacks to Know About
While Wendy’s doesn’t officially have a secret menu, there are still plenty of ways to get creative with your order and make a meal that feels custom-tailored to your cravings. Here are a few "secret menu" items to try:
Barnyard Burger: Ask for a beef patty, chicken patty, and bacon on the same sandwich. You’ll get the best of all worlds!
Big Bacon Classic: While it was removed from the main menu, some locations will still make it if you ask. It’s a bigger, juicier version of the Baconator.
Frosty Float: Want to take your Frosty to the next level? Ask for a soda to be poured into your cup alongside the Frosty for a sweet, fizzy treat.
6. Seasonal and Limited-Time Offers: Keep an Eye Out
Wendy’s also occasionally rolls out limited-time offers and seasonal menu items. Around the holidays, you might see festive treats like peppermint Frostys or special burger variations with seasonal toppings. These are usually tied to promotions, so always keep an eye on Wendy’s website or app for announcements.
Conclusion: Making Wendy’s Meal Deals Work for You
Wendy’s has mastered the art of offering deals that cater to everyone—from the budget-conscious eater to those looking to indulge without overspending. The 4 for $4, $5 Biggie Bag, and 2 for $6 deal are all excellent options depending on your hunger level and preference, and with the app offering even more exclusive savings, Wendy’s truly delivers when it comes to meal deals.
So the next time you’re in the mood for fast food but don’t want to overspend, head to Wendy’s and explore these meal deals. With so many options, there’s something for everyone, and you’ll always leave feeling satisfied without emptying your wallet.

Ok so a few weeks ago I got a Nintendo Switch. And lemme tell ya something:
I only have 3 games on it, but it’s served for hours of entertainment, it’s awesome.
But one of these games is called West Of Loathing. It’s basically stick figure D&D. It’s great.
You get to pick a character class, pick a name, sidekick, it’s awesome.
Anyway, I just finished a round of it where my character’s name was:
Tony Trouble Ptoughneigh (pronounced “Tony”)
And I had this one horse from a little side quest, a horse with crazy eyes, ran funny, the lot of it, y’know.
And I’m like “What do I name this thing.”
Cocaine.
I named him Cocaine.
What a fitting name, a horse named Cocaine.
OH and it was be inhumane not to mention my companion in this: Gary. Gary the Goblin. He’s precious. Goofy. Amazing. And also can do Gary-Fu.
Anyway, so a few notable places on the map were:
the Circus, led by a cow hating killer;
the Daveyard—a graveyard solely for people named Dave;
and the Petting Cemetery, which was for animal skeletons, and you can pet them for an add to your…powers? I dunno what to call ‘em, ok.
Anyway, there’s this city that’s the primary destination of the game, and it’s called Frisco. And once you get there, you encounter a guy named Norton, who’s convinced that he’s the emperor. Anyway, you need to get past him to continue building the train tracks into Frisco. But since he’s convinced he’s the emperor of Frisco, he wants a crown.
Now, if you don’t give him a crown, you get this weird ant-eye virus, and you have to get a magic jelly bean to cure it. And then you have to fight him on the train, because oh yeah, he just casually up and stole it. Cause he’s the emperor. And I guess emperors can do that.
But if you do give him a crown, it saves a headache of tryna fight him and whatnot before you can get to the final cutscene.
Anyway so there are a number of ways you can get a crown for Norton. The way I did it? I literally gave him a turnip. See, in the very first town I got to, there was this hinky-dink little turnip covered in dust. So I pick it up, and shove it in my pocket. Then when I get to the main town on the main map where the whole quest thing takes place, I found this place called the “Silver Plater” (no, not “platter”, “plater”.)
“Ok so you got this turnip, went to this Plater guy, then what?”
Glad you asked. But I would’ve told you regardless. So don’t get too excited.
I had to pay to get this turnip plated in silver.
How much did I pay?
5.
Not 50.
Not 500.
5,000.
5,000 MEAT.
Because they…they use meat as a currency in this game…don’t ask me why, it’s probably because of all the cows they people don’t like. They can kill you for no reason, no wonder the literal killer clown wanted to kill them all.
The sheer amount of gambling I had to do. The amount of cows I had to kill. Bones and bone fragments I had to sell.
JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET ENOUGH MEAT TO PLATE THIS SINGLE TURNIP.
But hey I got it plated so all’s well that ends well, I guess.
Anyway it’s a really fun game, 10/10 would recommend, super cheap, hours of fun.
It’s like a good quality heap of dirt; given the right conditions, it’s a blast. You can do the same thing over and over, and each game is different. It’s awesome.

DAVE: well what better way to acquaint yourself with democracy than to take a crack at high office yourself
DAVE: dude seriously you would absolutely kill it with the troll voting block
DAVE: the entire kingdom would vote for you
DAVE: theyd go ballistic if they heard a troll actually had the guts to run against jane, let alone one of their heroes

DAVE: i bet he would have fixed the economy
KARKAT: DAVE, AS MUCH AS I ENJOY LISTENING TO YOU RAMBLE THROUGH YET ANOTHER CHAPTER OF YOUR FREESTYLE OBAMA FAN FICTION
KARKAT: DON’T YOU ALREADY HAVE A BASIS FOR KNOWING HOW HIS PRESIDENCY WOULD HAVE GONE?
KARKAT: I MEAN, WASN’T HE PRESIDENT IN THE TIME LINE JANE GREW UP IN TOO?
DAVE: oh
DAVE: yeah
DAVE: i mean yeah of course i know that
DAVE: i just dont like to think much about that time line
DAVE: it doesnt really feel like its
DAVE: canon?
KARKAT: DIDN’T SOME CLOWNS TAKE OVER THE WORLD OR SOMETHING?
DAVE: i dont wanna talk about it
DAVE: the point is
DAVE: in the world that mattered more, i mean like
DAVE: the one i belonged to that i used to imagine had a real future
DAVE: that didnt involve meteors or a fish dictator or the american political landscape turning into a nightmarish daily joke
DAVE: i still wonder what could have been
DAVE: if the O man coulda saved us all
DAVE: but instead he died probably
DAVE: or maybe not... maybe there was like an escape hatch in the white house that led to his own secret presidential session of sburb
DAVE: what if hes just chillin there now
KARKAT: DAVE, I THINK WE’VE COVERED YOUR “OBAMA’S SECRET SESSION OF SBURB” THEORY WELL ENOUGH ALREADY.
DAVE: i know i know
DAVE: im just saying is all
KARKAT: IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DREAM! I FUCKING GET IT.
DAVE: but yeah its more likely he just died
DAVE: but maybe it doesnt have to be in vain
DAVE: what if he died for our sins or something
KARKAT: HMM! SOUNDS FUCKING MEANINGLESS.
DAVE: yeah
DAVE: but i mean what if like
DAVE: he could be reborn
KARKAT: YES, WE’VE BEEN OVER YOUR OBAMA GOD TIER HEADCANONS TOO.
DAVE: no like
DAVE: reborn as you
DAVE: metaphorically
DAVE: you could be the great president he never got the chance to be
DAVE: you could give the people hope and shit
DAVE: you could inspire trolls everywhere
DAVE: or really all nonhuman kingdoms
DAVE: show them anybody could be a president
DAVE: not just an endless parade of rich humans who think they all know whats best for everybody
KARKAT: DAVE, I’M PRETTY SURE ANYONE *COULD* BE PRESIDENT?
KARKAT: IT’S ALWAYS SEEMED TO ME THAT HUMANS JUST SEEM TO BE MORE NATURALLY AMBITIOUS, AND THAT’S WHY THE POWER STRUCTURES TOOK THE SHAPE THEY DID THE LAST FEW MILLENNIA.
KARKAT: I MEAN, I DON’T CLAIM TO BE AN EXPERT ON XENOPSYCHOLOGY, BUT FOR SOME REASON I STRUGGLE TO IMAGINE A FUCKING SALAMANDER GETTING THE GUMPTION TO THROW HIS CRUMPLED HAT INTO THE RING FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF EARTH.
KARKAT: OR THE CARAPACIANS FOR THAT MATTER?
KARKAT: THESE ARE NOT AMBITIOUS CREATURES WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, DAVE.
KARKAT: THEY’RE A HUGE FLOCK OF WOOLBEASTS, DAVE.
DAVE: karkat dont stereotype
DAVE: remember the mayor
DAVE: remember how at one point a long time ago he raised an army and rebelled against an evil king
KARKAT: OH YEAH
KARKAT: SOMEHOW I ALWAYS FORGET HE DID THAT.
KARKAT: KIND OF MIND BOGGLING, REALLY.
KARKAT: HOLY SHIT, I MISS THE MAYOR.
DAVE: me too
DAVE: i think he would be totally in favor of my idea btw
DAVE: he loved democracy
KARKAT: NO SHIT, HE WAS A FUCKING MAYOR.
DAVE: i mean forget all the lizards and chess guys for a second
DAVE: just imagine the good you could do for the troll kingdom
DAVE: you would do a much better job of speaking to the injustices trolls face than jane would
KARKAT: WHAT INJUSTICES
DAVE: dude please
DAVE: where to even begin
DAVE: i know earth c has generally been a pretty chill place to live but theres been some shit going on that is legit creepy
DAVE: all this “population regulation” bullshit thats been going on since we basically set up civilization and peaced out to the future
DAVE: when you think about its long term consequences its been fuckin weird
DAVE: like the government being responsible for troll reproduction through cloning
DAVE: a government that just happens to be predominantly human most of the time?
DAVE: like it makes sense on paper at first, no mother grub, gotta keep the race going and expand the population for a good while and get the numbers up
DAVE: until kanaya gets here and hatches the grub and then i guess a system of “natural reproduction” can take over in theory but
DAVE: after so many centuries of that shit doesnt the weird political imbalance like
DAVE: get entrenched??
DAVE: and once rose and kanaya crank out a few more broods in the caverns i guess were supposed to think its all fixed right
DAVE: back to Trolls As Usual or something
DAVE: but do you really think the human kingdom is going to just sit back and let the troll race proliferate wildly all over earth
DAVE: turn it into another alternian empire
DAVE: folks know the history
DAVE: they know about the condesce and all the violence and the hemospectrum and shit
DAVE: theyre scared to death of the possibility that trolls could run wild all over the planet
KARKAT: DAVE, I KNOW ALL THIS.
KARKAT: IN FACT, *YOU* KNOW ALL OF THIS BECAUSE YOU’VE HEARD ME SAY IT TO KANAYA A THOUSAND TIMES.
KARKAT: ACTUALLY, IN AN EFFORT TO NOT GO FUCKING INSANE, I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT ANYMORE!
DAVE: well maybe its time to start thinking about it again
DAVE: bro did u know, sitting on the sidelines in the face of oppression is tantamount to siding with the oppressors
KARKAT: UHNGH.
DAVE: you think a crocker administration is really going to go through with plans to deregulate troll breeding?
DAVE: she knows exactly what her base wants
DAVE: i can already see the dog whistles in this press release she isnt gonna do shit
DAVE: and really man
DAVE: if nothing else and i truly mean NOTHING
DAVE: please
DAVE: for the love of christ
DAVE: think of the economy
KARKAT: ARRRGH!!!!
DAVE: jane has this reputation for being awesome at business but imo she actually just sucks
DAVE: she doesnt seem to be even remotely aware how much shes leveraged her status as a god to become a bigshot trillionaire
DAVE: i think she thinks its all pure business acumen but i think she doesnt really know what shes doing
DAVE: fuckers left and right just be tripping all day long to give her money hand over fist
DAVE: of course shes gonna milk her biz cred for all its worth in this election
DAVE: shes probably a much better politician than a businesswoman actually she is like
DAVE: sinister as fuck? i mean
DAVE: she hides it well dont get me wrong
DAVE: also she isnt too hard on the eyes which wont hurt her chances one bit
DAVE: but shes going to be BRUTAL on their pocketbooks just you wait
KARKAT: I DON’T FUCKING BELIEVE THIS.
DAVE: she doesnt know the nuances of sound comprehensive fiscal policy like i do
DAVE: my skills are fucking legendary
DAVE: i manipulated the stock market to assume control of the literal majority of all currency on the planet once
DAVE: granted the economy was run by lobotomized reptiles but still
DAVE: wait that was speciesist sorry
DAVE: the point stands though i know what im doing
DAVE: what do you think is going to happen when jane takes over and the economy crashes
KARKAT: I...
KARKAT: I DON’T KNOW???
DAVE: its going to be pandemonium
KARKAT: WILL IT ACTUALLY BE THOUGH?!
DAVE: well
DAVE: i dunno
DAVE: ok if shit goes sideways i guess we arent gonna see like raggedy turtles and pauper chess men standing in bread lines or anything
DAVE: thats just the nature of alchemy-based post-scarcity economies the depressions tend to be pretty mild
DAVE: but it will still be bad
DAVE: a healthy economy is fuckin IMPORTANT
DAVE: if for no other reason than it protects the societal context for what it means to be fucking rich, like us
KARKAT: JUST A THOUGHT. LET’S COME UP WITH A DIFFERENT CAMPAIGN SLOGAN THAN THAT, OK?
DAVE: yeah
DAVE: but the point is just
DAVE: i guess
DAVE: she sucks and shouldnt be president the end
DAVE: you dont even have to think about economic shit i can do that for you
DAVE: ill be like the treasury secretary or something
DAVE: just please tell me youll do this
DAVE: do it for the trolls do it for the economy do it for the mayor
DAVE: but most of all
DAVE: (sniff)
DAVE: do it for obama
KARKAT: GOD DAMN IT DAVE.
KARKAT: I DON’T REALLY GIVE A FUCK ABOUT POLITICS, OR BEING A LEADER ANYMORE, AND I THINK YOU KNOW THAT.
KARKAT: I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE ECONOMY, AND WHILE I’M SURE THIS OBAMA FELLOW WAS A HELL OF A GUY, I COULDN’T GIVE LESS A FUCK ABOUT HIM EITHER.
KARKAT: BUT...
KARKAT: I DO CARE ABOUT YOU.
KARKAT: SO
KARKAT: I’LL DO IT.
KARKAT: WHY NOT.
DAVE: nice!
DAVE: aw yeah
DAVE: you wont regret it this is gonna be dope
DAVE: i think we have a great shot too
DAVE: with my political savvy and economic genius and outrageous flair for subversive anti establishment messaging and propaganda, and your big loud fucking mouth...
KARKAT: WHAT THE FUCK
DAVE: um i guess also your charisma and likability and shit
KARKAT: YEAH.
KARKAT: YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT...
KARKAT: I’M PRETTY SURE I CAN FAKE THOSE THINGS WELL ENOUGH.
DAVE: oh also
DAVE: your weirdly sincere humility
KARKAT: I PREFER THE TERM “SELF LOATHING” ACTUALLY.
DAVE: ok lets try to avoid that phrase on the campaign trail too
KARKAT: THIS ALREADY SOUNDS LIKE A PAIN IN THE ASS.
KARKAT: CAN’T I JUST
KARKAT: READ A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT YOU WRITE FOR ME OFF A TELEPROMPTER?
DAVE: yeah there will definitely be plenty of that
DAVE: but you also need to be natural and speak from the heart and shit
DAVE: just like
DAVE: talk to your people
DAVE: about stuff they care about
KARKAT: “MY PEOPLE”?
KARKAT: YOU MEAN TROLLS??
DAVE: oh
DAVE: yeah i guess that sounded bad sorry
DAVE: but yeah exactly
DAVE: trolls
DAVE: thats gonna be your base so you gotta rile em up
DAVE: inspire them
DAVE: i dont think you need any fancy speeches to do that youll be a natural
KARKAT: IF YOU SAY SO.
KARKAT: SO WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY... DO?
KARKAT: I MEAN, NEXT?
DAVE: time to talk some strategy
DAVE: we need to rally as much high profile support to our cause as we can
DAVE: but there are some uh
DAVE: “lines of loyalty” to figure out
KARKAT: WHAT?
DAVE: i mean which of our friends are going to side with us and which ones will side with jane
DAVE: pretty much all of us are famous and popular all over earth to some degree
DAVE: some of us more so with certain kingdoms than others
DAVE: so some key endorsements going either way could swing the whole election
KARKAT: OH, GREAT
KARKAT: SO IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HOW MANY FAMOUS HUMANS LIKE ME BETTER THAN JANE?
KARKAT: WE’RE FUCKED.
DAVE: well no not so fast
DAVE: lets think it through
DAVE: youll have overwhelming support in the troll kingdom and so does kanaya
DAVE: shes pretty much a lock to be on your side
DAVE: dirk unfortunately is just as much a lock for jane im gonna guess
DAVE: but after that its kind of a free for all
DAVE: roxy and calliope will probably be neutral
DAVE: they have a lot of pull with the carapacians though so that would be a nice score to sway them
DAVE: rose will probably claim neutrality at first but im betting she can be cajoled by her wife to our side
DAVE: and once we get rose converting roxy probably wont be too hard
DAVE: as for jade...
KARKAT: ...
DAVE: uh
DAVE: i think its fair to say shes going to be on our side
KARKAT: YEAH
DAVE: maybe a little too much so
KARKAT: UM, YEAH
KARKAT: I WASN’T GOING TO BE THE ONE TO SAY IT, BUT YEAH, I GET WHAT YOU MEAN.
DAVE: of course we want her help and her endorsement will go a long way but
DAVE: i think we gotta sort out like
DAVE: a hierarchical approach to campaign strategy
DAVE: keep it organized and disciplined with roles well defined
DAVE: not let things get too murky with uh
DAVE: personal shit?
KARKAT: I THINK WE’RE ON THE SAME PAGE HERE, DAVE.
DAVE: ok cool
DAVE: anyway lets come back to the jade issue later
DAVE: uh lets see who else
KARKAT: EGBERT?
DAVE: right
DAVE: john should be easy to convince but im not sure how much of a factor hell be in this campaign
DAVE: have no idea how long hell be away on this “mission” rose mentioned
KARKAT: WHAT? WHAT MISSION?
DAVE: dunno shes been hella cagey about it
DAVE: swore me to secrecy until the right time whenever that is
DAVE: anyway his endorsement would go a long way in swinging the consort kingdom
KARKAT: THAT WOULD BE HUGE.
KARKAT: AREN’T THERE LIKE
KARKAT: 100 BILLION OF THOSE FUCKERS?
KARKAT: SECURING THAT VOTING BLOCK SHOULD BE ABLE TO WIN THE WHOLE THING FOR US.
DAVE: well no the population isnt THAT big but yes its by far the most populous kingdom
DAVE: swinging them our way should help a lot but it wont be enough to decide the whole thing
DAVE: consorts overwhelm the other kingdoms in sheer numbers but due to unscrupulous gerrymandering, all kinds of fucked up voter suppression policies and some electoral “counterbalancing” measures to account for their ridiculous population growth rate their voting power per capita is kind of pathetic
DAVE: also its hard to drive turnout
DAVE: this may come as a shock but legions of easily distracted low information amphibians primarily concerned with eating bugs and farming god damned mushrooms arent the most politically motivated demographic
DAVE: so to get them out to the polls well need to get them REALLY excited
KARKAT: OK.
KARKAT: I GUESS I’LL HAVE TO TRUST YOUR EXPERTISE ON THAT, SINCE I DON’T KNOW THE FIRST FUCKING THING ABOUT HOW TO INSPIRE AN UNINTELLIGENT LIZARD.
DAVE: yeah well
DAVE: i dont either
DAVE: but that brings us to jake
KARKAT: OH, FUCK.
DAVE: no this is important
DAVE: jake is a huge wild card here
DAVE: im sure his endorsement would be completely up for grabs
DAVE: he could go any way including just getting turned off by the whole thing and staying “apolitical”
DAVE: so we have to be careful about how we approach him
DAVE: jake is the only one of us whos wildly popular in all four kingdoms
KARKAT: WELL, I CAN’T ARGUE WITH THAT.
DAVE: yeah so an endorsement from him would be huge
DAVE: seriously just running one ad of him doing his double pistol winking bullshit with a thing under it saying “VOTE KARKAT” might be enough to win the whole election
DAVE: just have to get the fickle bastard to agree to that which could be tricky
DAVE: and honestly id be shocked if jane hasnt already started courting his vote
DAVE: theres no way she doesnt understand the political stakes
KARKAT: SO...
KARKAT: IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE JAKESTAKES THEN.
DAVE: pretty much
DAVE: the jakestakes 2.0
KARKAT: WHAT
KARKAT: THERE WAS A 1.0?
KARKAT: WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?
DAVE: oh thats like
DAVE: a whole story
KARKAT: IS THIS GOING TO BE ANOTHER ANECDOTE ABOUT THE JAKE SQUAD I WON’T CARE ABOUT AND DON’T WANT TO FUCKING HEAR?
DAVE: that sounds like the exact kind of opinion youd have about it so yeah
KARKAT: THEN I DON’T WANT TO FUCKING HEAR ABOUT IT.
DAVE: ok
DAVE: hmm
DAVE: shit hold up
KARKAT: WHAT?
DAVE: dirks calling me
KARKAT: WHAT THE FUCK DOES HE WANT?
DAVE: idk he just calls me out of the blue from time to time to talk shit
DAVE: usually about nothing whatsoever
DAVE: hell probably joke about how he needs me to cut off his head
KARKAT: HUH???
DAVE: its a running gag hes been running into the ground for years
DAVE: motherfucker is dedicated to his memes ill give him that
KARKAT: YOU SAID HE’S GOING TO BE A CROCKER LOYALIST RIGHT?
DAVE: oh absolutely
DAVE: no doubt about it
KARKAT: YOU DON’T THINK HE’S TRYING TO DO SOME...
KARKAT: RECONNAISSANCE WORK HERE?
KARKAT: LIKE, INTEL GATHERING?
DAVE: he doesnt even know youre entering the race yet
DAVE: no one does
KARKAT: OK. GOOD.
KARKAT: I GUESS YOU’D BETTER ANSWER THEN.
DAVE: ok well i missed the call while we were bullshitting about it
DAVE: but yeah ill just call him back now
DAVE: sup
DIRK: Hey dude.
DIRK: Got your sword handy?
DAVE: always
DIRK: Good. See, I’m in sort a bind here.
DIRK: And I’m afraid there’s only one way out.
KARKAT: OK, I’M FUCKING LEAVING.

Can Cats Eat Walnuts? Unveiling the Dos and Don'ts for Your Feline Friend
Walnuts, a nutritionally rich delight for us, beckon the question: Can our feline friends partake in this nutty goodness, or does it spell trouble? Join us on a journey to explore the risks and benefits of introducing walnuts into your cat's culinary repertoire.
Introduction to Walnuts and Cats: A Nutritional Conundrum
Can Cats Eat Walnuts? Walnuts, those delectable seeds thriving in temperate climates, boast antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and protein—a nutritional bonanza for humans. But can our obligate carnivores, our beloved cats, reap the same rewards? Despite the allure of sharing our walnut snacks, it's crucial to respect their unique dietary needs.
Can Cats Eat Walnuts? The Verdict: A Nutritional Balancing Act
In moderation, walnuts can be a cat-friendly treat. Laden with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, they can contribute to your cat's skin health and digestion when appropriately portioned.
Understanding the Risks: Navigating the High-Fat Maze and Mycotoxins
Can Cats Eat Walnuts? A word of caution is in order. The high-fat content in walnuts poses a risk of pancreatitis if overfed. Additionally, they house tremorgenic mycotoxins, fungal toxins that may trigger neurological issues. While the occasional nibble might not harm your feline companion, making walnuts a regular indulgence could pose health risks.
Safety Measures for Feeding Walnuts to Cats: A Gradual Approach
Cats, with their keen senses and curiosity, may find walnuts intriguing. However, their digestive systems aren't designed for excessive plant-based fats and proteins. Introduce walnuts gradually and keep a watchful eye for signs of upset stomach or pancreatitis.
Are Walnuts Poisonous to Cats? Assessing the Risks
While not inherently toxic, walnuts come with risks due to their high-fat content and mycotoxins. Excessive consumption may lead to health issues. Practicing moderation and closely monitoring your cat's response are crucial.
Benefits of Walnuts for Cats in Moderation: Nutrient Goodies
In small amounts, walnuts offer nutritional value for cats, including protein for muscle strength, healthy fats for a glossy coat, vitamin E for immune health, magnesium for metabolic function, and antioxidants for cellular well-being. However, these nutrients should primarily come from high-quality animal-based proteins.
Guidelines for Feeding Walnuts to Cats: Portion Control
Can Cats Eat Walnuts? While there's no one-size-fits-all serving, consider these general guidelines:
How to Safely Feed Walnuts to Cats: A Tasty Approach
Ensure a secure walnut treat experience for your cat:
Consider Cat-Friendly Alternatives and Supplements: A Culinary Palette
If you're seeking cat-friendly options, consider:
Quality cat food brands like Tiki Cat, Dave's Pet Food, American Journey, Instinct, and Wellness Core provide balanced nutrition.
In Conclusion: Can Cats Eat Walnuts? A Moderation Mantra
While the occasional walnut treat is unlikely to cause harm, moderation is key. Cats thrive on primarily meat-based proteins, so consult your vet before introducing new foods. Your cat's well-being is paramount, and a balanced, cat-friendly diet ensures their optimal health and happiness.

Benefits of Walnuts for Cats in Moderation
In limited amounts, walnuts can offer nutritional value to cats, including protein for muscle strength, healthy fats for a shiny coat, vitamin E for immune health, magnesium for metabolic function, and antioxidants for reducing cell damage. However, these nutrients should primarily come from high-quality animal-based proteins.
Guidelines for Feeding Walnuts to Cats
Can Cats Eat Walnuts? There's no standard serving size for cats, but here are some general guidelines:

Meat is good for you but how good it is for you directly depends on quality of life of the animal. which is why when my dad cooks with the beef he gets from his friends it’s delicious and miraculous but when i get a dave’s double i can feel it taking my soul away
