Local Alchemist needed to be stopped.
My formula of restore fatigue:
Spring salad: lettuce, radish, potato, (optional: apple, orange, watermelon). Unfortunately it has Burden side effect. (if choose orange, you'll get a bonus Shield effect) Can also side with Ranch dressing: cheese wedge, leek, onion, garlic. And this one has Damage Agility side effect. It can be fix by removing the garlic.
Potato soup: potato, garlic, leek. This recipe has Frost Shield side effect. Perfect choice for a cold weather.
Corn salsa: corn, tomato, onion, garlic. Unfortunately it has Damage Agility side effect, but you can get Detect Life in the process.
Grilled cheese sandwich: bread loaf, cheese wedge, cheese wheel. Unfortunately it has Damage Agility side effect. I should have removed the cheese wedge. Sorry Baurus :(
Classic ham sandwich: bread loaf, cheese wedge, ham, lettuce. Unfortunately this recipe also has Damage Agility side effect, but bonus Fire Shield woohoo!
Gyudon: beef, onion, rice
Mix berries: blackberry, strawberry, (we only have two kinds of berries?) (optional: apple, orange, pear). Actually, don't put apple or pear in it. They will cause Damage Health.
Crabby corn soup: crab, corn, onion. You can add cheese wedge for bonus Fire Shield (and Damage Agility) effect.
Chili con carne: beef (/boar meat /mutton /venison), onion, garlic, tomato. Side effect is Detect Life. (Beef flavor will grant you Shield effect. Unfortunately Boar meat will have burden side effect and Venison is Damage Health)
Pumpkin pie: pumpkin, sweetcake (/flour /sweetroll). Unfortunately both flour and sweetroll has Damage Personality side effect
Carrot cake: carrot, sweet cakes
Strawberry cheesecake: strawberry, cheese wedge, flour (/sweetcake /sweetroll). The flour version has Reflect Damage side effect. I highly recommend it.
#tes#oblivion#hero of kvatch#baurus#tes oc#oc: acelta#oblivion alchemy could be full of flavor and nonsense#i don't have any mushroom recipe bc i'm not sure about the flavors#but it's cool to know most shroom in oblivion is safe to eat (the first alchemy effect is restore stuff#i love how the 3rd era folks incorporated food in their potions#but my recipes are not perfect for i lack some good ingredients like salt and pepper and butter and cream and broth and vanilla extract...#can i season it afterwards? just a pinch of salt? or sugar? or sauce?#can i put two different flavor of potions in a shaker and make two balanced flavor potions? like drink them in one go?#most potions are made by distillation methods (with alembic and retort) so the flavor probably is subtle#i watch some show with bartender use this rotary evaporator to distill drink ingredients#and the final product is clear liquid with a hint of it's original flavor#so maybe that's what oblivion potion is like. some flavored water#wait... is- is potion like some kind of wired flavor soda?#as a alchemy 100 mad lad i can make potion from a single ingredient so i can literately make a ham water of restore fatigue

Some people: Meh, nothing much happens this episode. Me, a sobbing mess: Tom Bombadil and Goldberry's voice and Rorimas Burrows who longed for Sûzat and Ents holding hands with Entwives and Theo hugging Arondir and Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo and
#Rings of Power#Spoiler#Spoilers#Don't touch me I'm crying from both joy and sorrow#Everything I love about those books distilled down into its purest feeling#I am a messy 12 year old all over again

why were you digging? what did you bury? before those hands pulled me from the earth
#good omens#ineffable husbands#hozier#my edits#text edit#f15#i'm sure this has been as done to death as from eden and take me to church but it was calling to me#crowley believing that all this time aziraphale has been turning rocks over trying to find an angel hiding under them#and has been disappointed to just keep on finding nothing but the snake over and over again#(of course it's not so plainly cruel as that and there is SO much love there but damn. brutal.)#ouhfgfbfhgf i love when characters do something so incredibly fucked up and hurtful and then have to somehow come back from it#the purest simplest most quintessential distillation of my blorbo formula#god’s perfect woobie#bastard [affectionate]

being a huge fan of tlou but also like. thinking that certain stories are built for certain mediums. like the entire theme of tlou2 is grounded and fresh because it’s a railroad/story video game that still affords you mechanical choices in how you navigate the world. i just don’t have a lot of confidence that presenting that story in a tv show with the minimal adjustments that they did in s1 will be fulfilling or compelling in any comparable way. because with tlou1 some of the like. beauty of that story was simply that it was such an emotive story contained in the medium of video games. and some of that was retained just by hitting similar or expanded emotional beats in the show, like the episodes that expanded on the life of the characters and the realities of that world. but truly so much of tlou2 emotional depth and ‘why does this story matter’ rests in the fact that’s it’s your hands on the controller, continually choosing to go forward in the story and have hope that it will work out in your-as-ellie-or-abby-or-somehow-booth’s favour. and you simply cannot get that in a non-interactive medium like television. like i do think tlou2 is a good story but it’s a good story because of the investment required by the player to keep pressing buttons and keep returning and to feel the adrenaline like responses of high intensity moments and be jarringly shifted into backstories that only increase the frustration. in general i’ve been thinking a lot about cross-medium adaptation and on the one hand i am glad that season 1 makes the story of the last of us more accessible to people who wouldn’t pick up a video game but it’s also like. maybe instead we can destigmatize video games as this inaccessible and dangerous medium a bit more instead of just . implicitly agreeing . like no maybe your mom won’t pick up a video game controller and play the last of us . but maybe you can play the game in the living room. sometimes the mediums that stories are told in aren’t just important but are actually foundational parts of how the information of a story is conveyed and that’s not only okay but is fucking fantastic. we should be happy actually that there are so many ways to collect a bunch of themes and ideas and put them together and hold them out to someone else and say “won’t you consider this with me. won’t you feel these emotions and care about these characters with me.”
#i’ve been thinking about this both for academic and personal reasons#where like. my thesis literally includes discussion of tlou2 and it’s profundity because of the players position as in control but without#real decision making power in the story#and it’s like. you’re the person animating these two ptsd ridden women who subject themselves to be puppets to their#own grief . and there’s something particularly resonant about the fact that you can’t change the Story. you can only play it.#and like . i’ve talked with my mom a lot about the last of us#since i played it the first time and it really just rocked my shit. and i remember walking out my bedroom after i’d finished tlou2#feeling that odd mixture of empty and completely fulfilled by a good story with tears in my eyes#and a few years later when i visited home and had happened to bring my ps4 along with me and i was having a rough time#my mom asked if i’d want to show her tlou. because she knew i loved it and because i’ve told her it has tropes she’d enjoy#but the only games she’ll ever play are point and click because she’s stubborn and some physicality stuff#but like i remember sitting on the couch just. playing this game and it wasn’t the exact same as her playing it herself . but sometimes her#commentary was like it was.#i just. idk man. tlou lover wants to be hyped but seeing the exact same visuals from the game just in tv show format is like#. what’s the point. why are you distilling the themes by removing the active (non)agency of the player and#replacing it with the passive role of ‘watcher’ in a story so emphatically about having an active role in the action#anyway#tagging this#tlou#for blog organization but this isn’t discourse or whatever just me thinkin my thoughts on my blog

just. . .do y'all remember when Polin actually loved each other in our fandom? do you remember when our posts were about how sweet they were together? when it was about how they were on one another's teams? when it was story after story and post after post of polin against the world? of 'I like you' 'I like you too'? of 'Is life meant to be this happy?' 'I think so'? Do you remember when we were all about how much Colin loved Penelope and Penelope loved Colin? When the biggest narrative was that they saw one another, made one another brave, brought out the best in each other? When the mirror was more than just a sex scene and was also a metaphor for what they saw in each other and how they reflected one another? When they were kind to each other? When we were kind to them as characters? When they were encouraging? When they were affectionate and loving and tenderhearted and messy and silly and loving with one another? When Penelope chose Colin at every turn and Colin chose her?
Where is it? Where is the love for our couple? Be honest, wanting Colin to grovel and suffer isn't for Polin fans. It's for Pen stans. Because us Colin fans are shown time and time and time again that it's okay to call a character we love an idiot, want him egregiously punished or humiliated, to see nothing good in his character at all. So who else is it meant for? I miss when we cared about them. I miss when there was a place we could go that was about their romance and tenderness. I miss when it wasn't just straight up hating on him, or us obsessed with Penelope getting with other characters, or thinking he's less than.
We have one of the *best* Male Love Leads in the entire series. And if you don't think that way. . .I just don't understand why you claim to ship this ship. We have an amazing pairing. A wonderful couple. A couple who cares about each other, a couple who builds one another up, a couple that are friends, a couple that has passion and happiness and so much potential.
Do you remember our gifsets gushing about how much he cared for her? Do you remember our metas about how they could bloom and flourish around one another? When we looked at how Colin was hypervisible but ultimately unheard and how Penelope was invisible but the loudest voice in the ton and sighed about how they fit so well with one another? Do you remember when Penelope was proud to have Colin as a partner and he showed her off at every turn? Do you remember when it wasn't a scorecard? When it wasn't about suffering and was about tenderness? Do you remember when they LOVED each other in our fandom? Do you remember when we loved them?
I remember.
And I miss it. I miss it so much.
#actually fuck it i'm untagging it#because no one fucking cares#i don't belong here and i should just take the fucking hint already#these posts are depressing#these TAGS are depressing#there's no love#there's no romance here anymore#our version of their romance has been distilled into 'heehee can't wait to see him jealous and crying over our queen'#but i want to see them in LOVE#ooey gooey happy sugary dripping in sap in love#these posts about groveling and jealousy and suffering aren't for them as a couple#where is penelope 'my husband' featherington?#where is how proud she is of Colin? how happy she is with him?#where's the tenderness? our bragging about how amazing our couple is? where's the heart eyes over their looks? their humor?#how they laugh together?#instead of seeing their lessons as quality time we've cheapened them into a series of suffering points#instead of looking at the suitors storyline and being like 'of course pen is still going to choose colin she loves him'#we want her to rub it in his face#instead of wanting introspection from colin and seeing him come to terms slowly with the fact that he loves penelope for all she is#we want a quick 'other people want her and that's not fair!' lightning strike realization#i miss when this couple was a couple#i miss when we loved them#and i miss when they loved each other#it's about drama not romance#it's about suffering and not joy#it's just painful loving this couple for both the characters and seeing them twisted into the worst versions of themselves

i went grocery shopping this morning and as i was loading like 4 jugs of distilled water in my cart this older man comes up to me and asks why i need so much distilled water, so i told him i keep reptiles and frogs and use it for them, and then he tells me that he used to keep snakes and fish in the 70s, he said he used to have a huge salt water tank with a miniature shark and he loved watching it, but now he's too old to keep up with it 🥺 we chatted for a bit and idk it was such a nice interaction, it made my morning
#he asked me where i buy all my reptile stuff from and i told him i mostly order stuff online#and hes like oh wow times have changed eh#guess he used to have to drive pretty far to get stuff lol#i love how he clocked me buying distilled water lmao reptile and fish people iykyk

I'm so obsessed with Fort Meigs, and I wonder how many of my mutuals know how it's pronounced.
It's "Meggs" (written phonetically), rhymes with legs. That's how (most) War of 1812 historians and enthusiasts say it, and that's how the locals pronounce it. I remember one video from a Kentucky historical society pronounced it like "Miggs," but maybe that's the Kentucky accent.
Head Quarters Camp Meigs April 22nd 1813
Genl Orders
The Guards will in future when relieved be conducted to the outside of the Camp and under the direction of the Officer of the day will discharge the loads in their Guns at a Mark— The best shot will receive a quart of whiskey the second best a pint upon the Order of the Officer of the day—
— Orderly Book of Cushing's Company, Fort Meigs (Ed. by Harlow Lindsey, The Ohio Historical Society)
#war of 1812#fort meigs#military history#us history#learning that william henry harrison was also a whiskey distiller at one point#well no wonder he loved whiskey-based incentives#alcohol#1810s#the map is from the 100 year anniversary#can't wait for opening weekend at fort meigs historic site!!!!!!!#maps#us army#old northwest

blue getting zero an arm (+ helmet and body armor??? a sword?????) made out of beskar to give him an edge fighting against force users/lightsabers..........
(cortosis weave might be more doable, honestly, but it lacks that edge of delicious cultural specificity blue normally dodges so ably haha. giving your partner beskar for their armor sounds like some traditional mando wedding gift bullshit and that's exactly the kind of unhinged romantic I suspect blue could be once unleashed. beskar seems to have been extremely tightly regulated and restricted by the empire during the time this would be relevant, but also blue works there, has no principles, and knows hacking better than any of his comparatively boomer colleagues... I believe in him I think he could've pulled off this completely bonkers move of a romantic gesture if inspiration struck him. also very funny way of him losing his job and having to join the rebels if he gets caught)
sorry. sorry I can't hear anything or anyone over the mental image of zero in full splendid knight gear. terrifying loyal right hand man knight (who's a DJ and space mario kart champion in his spare time), standing next to his Little Dude/bitch-boy-liege-lord-but-only-in-a-kinky-sense/partner, who looks like nature set out, through trial and error and millions of years of evolution, to produce a being optimally shaped to be shoved into lockers. (and you could certainly try but also: aforementioned loyal right hand ruthless killer & karter currently chuckling over funny cat videos.) I am so right for this I think
#it's too bad I hate drawing armor I feel like this mental image deserves to be captured fhdsja#does blue's family have like. heraldry colours or whatever??? he is a baron I assume there must be some stuff going on there#or like. a bluebird painted on the breastplate right over the heart. but on the inside of the armor. the courtly love of it all#zeblue#campaign star wars#agent zero#minister blue#dream scenario for if there had been a big final showdown between the mynock crew and the evil kids. agent zero w endgame gear#(I mean The highest form for me would be if blue was forced to choose between the journal of the whills or zero's life at the end#that would be the purest most distilled get-me-right-in-the-id bullshit that could have happened. I'm not too proud I can admit it)#I've been having. such a godawful day from the moment I woke up. thank god my brain decided to at least give me this today#I've been hanging on by a thread. I still am but at least my neurons deigned to throw me a bone

I got an idea of doing a YouTube channel that is just “reviews” where I say a short sentence about a movie and then give a rating, like:
Glass Onion - “five old people play among us in it” 10/10
Pinocchio - “SpongeBob voices Mussolini” 9.5/10
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once - “there is buttplug-activated fighting skills” 10/10
#it’s sort of an appealing idea#I just don’t think I’ll do it#I don’t watch enough movies or consume enough media in general for it to be sustainable#but I’ve already sort of set up a sort of philosophy of the hypothetical channel in my head#it would sort of be a silly way to give awareness of like#maybe some movies that might get less attention#or wouldn’t be in the mainstream radar#and it wouldn’t go for things that are made by already huge-name studios or whatever#it’s only going to be movies that interest me though (which does mean the rating would likely all be high)#(because if the movie already interested me enough to watch it then obviously it’s more likely that I’ll love it)#more information would be in the video description (such as genre and director and studio)#but there’s never any in-depth opinion about it anywhere#the intention isn’t to try to distill the movie into one sentence#just to take some odd detail from it that stuck out to me and was funny#something that obviously isn’t ‘the thing the movie is about’ and hopefully wouldnt turn it into ‘that movie with among us’#anyways it’s a nice idea. I’d like to call that hypothetical channel ‘review’#but I bet that one’s taken or something#personal malkylife

i feel like people (on my dash) aren't talking about so long, london and it's the song that means the most to me. like I full-on wept in my car today listening to it
#for me it's the best distillation of her pain. I say “for me” because I recognize that other songs might speak more clearly to different#people. and maybe it's because England means so much to me? like I am heartbroken that London has been tarnished for her because of#the end of the relationship.#(maybe it's because my own relationship to England changed when I spent some time there. depression happened. I am still getting over it.#but I still love England. I always want to go back. maybe that's the line that connects it for me.)#also just the production and the vocals and the driving beat! I always picture a train moving swiftly through the country.#away from London. so long.#oh and the way that she says “you'll find someone” in the first chorus BEFORE she says “I'll find someone.” like she knows he'll move on an#fall in love again. but it takes a minute before she can believe it for herself. that's pretty unusual in her lyrics I think. she often#thinks about the other person but it's usually in the second half of the song (i.e. all too well - “did the love affair maim you too?”)#I don't know. it's so sad to me.#so long london#taylor swift#ts#ttpd

love the gameplay trailer bc the lady is like: “could you have held fast that which is dear? without sacrifice?” and my brain just jump cuts to eyrie family guy death pose at the end of EW
#there’s a special second thing of this guy just does all the sacrificing#yeah sure it’s okay to lose a lot of little pieces of urself over the years so the world keeps spinning around and around#yes by god eyrie has some really deep seated anger and frustration at what has been done to them#the anger doesn’t do anything and they are too cowardly and too afraid of people be scared of them to do anything about it#they’re far more scared than angry and it’s#just a terrible mix of emotions simmering in the back of their head#the little fragments of their head that are fray try their best but eyrie is so….unwilling to take drastic and harmful action#to do better for their own sake#they’re like a dog that wants to bite so badly#besides they only trust fray so much since they spent so long running from it#so much so they nose dived directly into warrior#tbh like. I gotta think about it but Ardbert was far more a teacher of being a warrior than the quest npcs were#they thrive off of putting these emotions into their axe work in stormblood#but it wasn’t until ShB and Ardbert that it was like. distilled into what it is for them now#there’s still the fervor and the rush of it but it draws on a lot of the same stuff DRK does#the rawness and unfiltered way love and the desire to protect#for the most part DT is a summer vacation but I will find something that is gonna tickle eyeie#still sitting here praying for eyrie and estinien#owen talks

the way i couldn't even take a scrap of joy out of the flashback date scene because i couldn't stop thinking about how i feel like the writers are speaking through penelope. think about it. "i find it very hard to have a conversation with you when i'm not dunking on you". after those first few episodes where luke was pivotal in getting penelope back on the team what have his storylines been? during those interactions the most memorable moments are penelope 'dunking' on him. think about luke's character in general. what unique storylines have they given him during his five seasons on the show? i genuinely don't see this interaction as anything other than the writers admitting they see luke as a side-character whose sole purpose is to bounce off other characters for funny moments. and i'm so angry and i hate this reboot and i hate the writers and i hate it all!!!
#luke alvez you deserve to much better#also penelope??? deserves so much better than the character assassination they're giving her??????#my favourite character from the franchise and one of my favourite fictional women ever#and now i can barely stand seeing her on my screen????????#someone needs to see jail for this.#(this isn't a garvez post i love garvez but please stop distilling our complaints down to bad = no garvez)#jeantxt#jean screams about criminal minds#criminal minds: evolution

I have potted out 3/5 of my seedling trays and oh boy oh man. I may be running out of windowsill.
let's hope they live longer this year
Sooooo we have 6 cherry tomato bushes, 5 scotch bonnets and 6 numex twilight (which is a multicoloured-fruiting mini chilli bush that I have yet to successfully get to maturity but if I do it'll be so cute, it's got yellow and red and purple fruits all jumbled in together).
then on the kitchen windowsill still in the potting trays (....takeaway boxes) I've got some ghost peppers (germinated but still too small to pot out) and some habaneros (planted more recently bc I forgot I had the seed so hopefully will see some shoots in the next couple of weeks). plus some peas because the FUCKING pigeons have dug up the last 4 sets I planned outside so we're going to try indoor germination.
I also broke up the crowded pot of basil I got for 28p in the clearance fridge like a month ago bc it's dying off and split it across 2 bigger pots, and planted a sweetpea kit mum gave me. so all in all a productive time.
#red said#couple of guys in this windowsill who aren't new#that's our pitcher plant that badly needs watering and clearing but we've run out of distilled water#there's one of several baby snake plants we're trying to recover from one that rotted at the root last autumn#and there's a handful of cuttings from my mum's christmas cactus in the wee pots that I'm trying to propagate#bc it's got lovely white flowers and a nice reddish leaf. i love our existing christmas cactus but it's a more classic pink flower.#you can also see our spider plant forest. we have given up trying to stop it putting out a billion babies or trying to do anything with them
