For the new ask meme, 1,2,3 and 29?

hehehe thank you for asking!

1- chipotle order?

Having never eaten at Chipotle in my life I cannot answer this directly (I've been inside one once, but it was to pick up a friend's little sister), but as far as vaguely-Mexican food in general I like a burrito with carnitas and refried beans. Significant quantities of lettuce also important to keep it from being like a stone in the stomach. Sour cream and guacamole important to the experience.

2- thoughts on veganism?

It's not my business what anybody chooses to put in their bodies, and if eating vegan makes someone feel healthier and more comfortable all power to them! I was vegetarian for a while in middle and high school, and quit because it was bad for my body personally, but everybody's built a little different from each other. For some folks it works great!

That said I think the supposed eco benefits have been vastly exaggerated and sometimes outright lied about; the amount of misinformation about how farms work and such makes it really difficult to have that discussion. In short: if you're vegan and you're coming over for dinner I will make sure you have something delicious and appropriate for you, but if you give me shit about eating meat we will not be friends long.

3- a specific color that gives you the ick?

Well the phrasing "gives [one] the ick" itself makes me shudder lmao. I think all colours can be lovely in different contexts but it's hard to make chartreuse work. Possible, especially out in nature where it occurs on its own! But difficult lol.

29- preferred pasta noodle?

Different sorts are good with different sauces, but I'm always down for rotini or fettucine~

For the ask thing…12 and 87?

already answered 12 so i'm gonna go onto the next number

13. Odds by Mal Blum

I'll only be a couple hours late It's not that I didn't wanna go I don't know what I meant to say

i love mal's songs but this one i listened to so much because it's on my jesse pinkman playlist. really represents how everyone takes advantage of jesse, but he doesn't really know any other way

87. Wolfman by The Front Bottoms

Say what you have to say, try not to cry This is just not what you wanted At this point in your life It's so hard to stay When all you wanna do is ride I totally get you, I was a birdcage And you were meant to fly

ultimate sad breakup song, really captures the feeling of heartbreak

SET FOUR - ROUND ONE - MATCH SIX

"The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit" (1882 - John Singer Sargent) / "If this is art" (2010 - Maciej Ratajski)

THE DAUGHTERS OF EDWARD DARLEY BOIT: It’s not the most overtly disturbing piece in the world, but it fucks me up. There’s this genuine grim sense of foreboding, this unspoken dread in the painting. The art book I first saw it in talked about how the girls are dwarfed by luxury, by inanimate objects that are clearly cherished in a way that they aren’t. (@dontbreakthechain)

IF THIS IS ART: this by maciej ratajski gets me every time. if this (any and all modern art) is art, then everything is art 🥰 (@jmonsaord)

("The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit" is an oil on canvas painting by John Singer Sargent. It measures 222.5 cm × 222.5 cm (87.6 in × 87.6 in.) The painting is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where it hangs between the two vases depicted in the image.

"If this is art" is a piece by Polish graphic designer Maciej Ratajski.)

What If

In Gaur Gopal Das Youtube Video I found that there are two word that hold us back and encourage us to afraid to try something new, the words are What and If. What If is refer to our scary about uncertainties that contains our future. We often afraid to try and to conquer new challenge. The right is we must try and do them briefly, so we can know a new taste of experience and we got a new outlook through this challenge.

Kind of Old Transportation Mode

I have read today. Ive read a book Time Is More Valuable Than Money. In this part I read some explanation about all kind of old transportation that exist in Indonesia, they ara Delman, Becak, Bemo, Opelet, Bus Tingkat, Motor, etc. He has highlight through this book that we must be grateful for the technology that comes into our life. In the past age, we must spend 2 month to go to Makkah through ship and 13 hours to go to Bogor through Delman. And with some amazing technology we know that we just need 9 hours to go to Makkah and 2 hours to go to Bogor.

In addiiton we must utilize this amazing discovery with wisely mind. We must harness it as wise as possible. And, even though we got alleviate in transportation field now, we still need to do exercise to increase our healthy. Hold and stick it.

Hi! Your posting has convinced me to give supernatural another chance. Do you know of a good skip it/watch it guide? I trust your opinion more than the rest of the fandom.

First of all I am so sorry and also I've just been looking at the 'appearances' tab on Castiel's page of the spn wiki and only rewatching the episodes with the gay angel in them but if you haven't seen the first 3 seasons I recommend those also.

I think the ideal like first time viewing order would be s1-5 (minus s01e08 'bugs' which I physically cannot watch and do not recommend) and then just watch the episodes that seem fun and/or have your favourite characters in them. Also don't watch season 9. I only recently finished season 10 which is where I stopped watching when I was into spn originally so I can't say anything about the later seasons but I think the method holds up

If you've already watched a significant portion of spn then genuinely just rewatch the trickster episodes and then the ones with Cas in them and the fun meta episodes that's the ideal viewing order I think

@dontbreakthechain thats so cool! i'm def going to try and 'decode' it going forwards

Nona the Ninth Reaction - John 20:8

okay, given the title i’m pretty sure the ‘he’ here is John Gaius. and its a retrospective dream of some kind?? makes me wonder if there’s a connection to the opening poem which talks an awful lot about sleep and dreaming

he’s talking to an unknown ‘her’ here, and commenting that she was ‘so sick’. my first assumption is that he’s speaking to Alecto here but if he is, then what does her being sick have to do with cryo chambers? was he trying to cure her of some kind of illness?

and the mentions of M— and A—, Mercymorn and Augustine but with different names?! John did say near the end of the last book that he knew who Augustine was pre-Resurrection. there’s a C— as well, Cytherea or Casseopeia maybe?

oooh this seems to be pre-Resurrection, the world before the mysterious apocalypse. it doesn't seem to be entirely the present day though, what with the population being around ten billion, and apparently having some level of futuristic technology, like cryo chambers, and it apparently being a feasible plan to have everyone on earth escape the planet. that said, its still remarkably mundane and familiar here to the point that it goes back around into feeling very strange for the Locked Tomb books, its so different from the Nine Houses system

‘thighs mostly, from when they felt hungry, which happened rarely and almost simultaneously’ ok i really hope this is not the incident John was referring to when he said smthing like ‘i only ate human meat once before’ in HtN. and there’s definitely some kind of lyctorhood connection here with them feeling things simultaneously and being connected …

‘She cried. She and A— both cried’ is this referring to them dying in whatever nuclear apocalypse John apparently ends up starting??

‘So what did you do? He said: A damned thing, didn’t I’ oooh are we gonna see how exactly John became who he is as of the present day? because there are so many unanswered questions there

‘I still love you’ oh there’s definitely some kind of connection to the poem from the beginning here

Harrowhark??? he’s talking to Harrow here, WHAT is going on. i thought i had a mild grasp of what was going on here but evidently i do not. also, this makes me wonder if the necro-cav relationship in the poem has anything to do with Gideon & Harrow then??

also, once again these books are giving me assigned reading so i checked out the bible passage referenced in the title and apparently it's the passage where Jesus’s resurrection is discovered? it doesn't seem precisely relevant to the chapter itself but i guess it is thematically to the wider theme of resurrection in the books

Just Finished: The Chain by Adrian McKinty

George Orwell was wrong, she thinks. In the future, it won’t be the state that keeps tabs on everyone by extensive use of surveillance; it will be the people...We are our own secret police.

[breadedsinner]

I want to participate in the 🔥 but I don't know what to ask... One for each class of Dragon Age characters (like, one about a mage character, one about a warrior, etc)?

Okay! I’ll try to mix it up a bit.

Mage character...my feelings on Merrill are conflicted. Yes this fandom has a problem with infantilizing her, BUT to NOT do that means to not put her above criticism. While her goals are noble I think her means are single-minded. Oddly black and white, even. She can’t seem to grasp that her actions will have consequences that extend to others, not just her.

Rogue character...I like Cole and all, but it’s strange to me that people can’t grasp why other characters might be unnerved by him. Okay I get he’s your son, but Vivienne has every right to no be on board with your Inquisitor’s whims.

Warrior character...this isn’t ABOUT him exactly, but why is everybody so fascinated with those forehead dots Fenris had in his concept art? Of all the details for people to get stuck on, seems odd. Are those even canon? 

[prodigaldaughteralice]

Ahhhhhhh I’ve only been following you for a little bit but I’m so happy you’ve started harrow! That book is a trip and a half, especially on the first read.

Aaaa hi!! I see you pop up in my notes now and then and your handle always makes me smile bc then I just have Fleetwood Mac playing in my brain for the next ten minutes <3

And oh man I’m loving it and it’s fucking me up real bad hahaha. Soup. Soup, and that distraction plan, and memory issues, and aaaaaa. I just had a realization today that I’m going to put here for posterity beyond just ranting on discord (don’t tell me if I’m right or anything)

1) in the first book we heard that Gideon got her name bc it’s the only thing her mother’s spirit would say, so I’ve kind of been assuming it was her father’s name. 2) at one point Mercy said “Ortus who?” after Harrow called the Saint of Duty by name, suggesting that that’s not his name and Harrow has been hallucinating that it is 3) when he was delirious after being stabbed through the chest he said “why’d you bring the ba—“ (BABY) 4) HARROW DID A FIND-AND-REPLACE ON HER OWN BRAIN TO TURN “GIDEON” INTO “ORTUS” 5) THE SAINT OF DUTY IS GIDEON’S DAD

[nymini]

Thanks @dontbreakthechain :) 

Give me 6 characters and I’ll tell you who i would:

Push off a cliff- Bloodraven. Cause he’s a little bitch and I really wanna.

Set on Fire- (I almost said Sandor here but that would be kinda rude in his case, you know?) Bronn? I mean he’d burn people without blinking an eye if you pay him enough, so  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Marry- Sarella. Duh. Come on, that was too easy. She’s a national treasure. 

Wrap a Blanket around- Hot Pie. Let the child be COZY.

Be Roommates with- Dolorous Edd. If I were a comedian I’d probably have a field day telling funny anecdotes about having him as a roommate. 

Kiss- Sandor because I have nowhere else to put him. (I like him you know, but can’t I just put Sarella here a second time? (Also let’s all guess who my favorite minor asoiaf character is lol))

SET FOUR - ROUND TWO - MATCH THREE

"The Weather" (exhibited September 24, 2021 – August 7, 2022 - Laurie Anderson) vs "The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit" (1882 - John Singer Sargent)

THE WEATHER: This is the Laurie Anderson room at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. I think it used to be part of a larger exhibit but I only saw it recently and by then it was this one room. It’s hard to describe without being there — this huge black room covered in white paint. Drawings, words, on the walls and the floor. I kid you not, walking into that room felt like walking directly into my brain. The fragmentation, the poetry of it, it’s so crowded, bursting with cognition. Remembrances and stray ideas fly around this place and I stayed there for an hour plus, reading everything and looking at everything and sitting in the corner. It made me so insane I went home and wrote an entire prose poem about it. (@green-cargaytions)

THE DAUGHTERS OF EDWARD DARLEY BOIT: It’s not the most overtly disturbing piece in the world, but it fucks me up. There’s this genuine grim sense of foreboding, this unspoken dread in the painting. The art book I first saw it in talked about how the girls are dwarfed by luxury, by inanimate objects that are clearly cherished in a way that they aren’t. (@dontbreakthechain)

("The Weather" is an audiovisual exhibition by American artist Laurie Anderson. It was exhibited at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC from September 24, 2021 – August 7, 2022, where it spanned the second floor.

"The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit" is an oil on canvas painting by John Singer Sargent. It measures 222.5 cm × 222.5 cm (87.6 in × 87.6 in.) The painting is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where it hangs between the two vases depicted in the image.)

O and D?

I’m not sure what fandoms you mean, so I’ll just do my most recent ones:

D: A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t

Glee: I used to be into Klaine, and I would have stayed into it if they hadn’t written it to be flat out awful. So there’s that. It also frustrated me that I couldn’t really ship the main femslash pairings because the writers kept it so surface level that it was hard for me to connect with. Also, because Rachel was a garbage human and I wouldn’t saddle anyone with her.

Basically, ships were best on Glee when they didn’t get development because the writers fucking sucked and were horrible people, and I don’t say that lightly. 

Venture Bros: I feel like the whole world is in on this joke with Pete and Billy. I don’t see it, and I’m not into it. I mean, it doesn’t bother me that other people like it, but I don’t, and everyone treats it as canon.  :/

O: Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of

I put my iTunes on random and selected the songs that popped up with lyrics that reminded me of ships.

Glee: Kurt/Elliot or Kurt/Sebastian, “Princes Familiar,” by Alanis Morissette 

Glee: Kurt/Finn (friends or brothers or lovers), “I’m Your Moon,” Jonathan Coulton (I always thought it would be funny if they did this as a duet, assuming Glee actually got the damn rights to the song.)

Glee: Kurt/Adam, “Broken Arrow,” by Pixie Lot

Venture Bros: Sirena/Hank, “Hello, Goodbye,” The Beatles (More of an association of them going off and on, colliding and running throughout their adult lives, which I admit probably won’t happen. Also, like all songs I associate with Hank, pretty upbeat)

Dean/Jared, “Calling All the Monsters,” China Anne McClain

Brock/Rusty, “Not Your Concern,” The Hush Sound

Harry Potter: Remus/Severus, “If Only for a Night,” by Florence and the Machine (i’m not explaining)
