If you don't like this post or don't agree with me you don't have to reblog it btw
seriously though its so often fatphobia. like
"americans eat so much!" so??
"americans are so overweight!" who cares.
"american food portions are huge how can anyone eat that in one sitting!" we dont we have a leftover culture that was born out of poor immigrants trying to help feed each other. and so what if someone does eat it all in one sitting who cares.
"american food is so full of fat"
so?
"full of corn" yeah we have a lot of it
"full of grease" it tastes good
like you guys arent slick
#fym theres ''no leftover culture''#idk where in american youre from but everywhere ive been there is an expectation of leftovers#especially from restaurants#edit: based on your tags youre not from america so idk why youre lecturing me on my own culture that i live in ?

Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.
#This is neither a criticism nor a compliment of that artistic choice#I just think it's really interesting#Like even looking at the Five:#Tigress talks in an older style than the others because she was mainly raised at the Jade Palace#While Mantis talks like Joe-schmo off the street because he *was* a streetfighter and an ordinary guy#Shifu and even Tai Lung talk like they're from an old-fashioned novel or kung fu movie#Po talks like a modern guy you'd meet working in a twenty-first century family restaurant#Part of Tigress's initial disdain for him in the first movie is clearly because she considers him to be low-class/a commoner#(And therefore an intruder into the world of the Jade Palace and the rest of the Kung Fu masters which appears to be semi-noble).#Shen looks genuinely off-put and disgusted when he has to respond to Po's greeting with a “...hey.”#And when Po wants to appear more legitimate as a warrior he adopts a more “legendary”/old-fashioned way of speaking.#In the aesthetic language of KFP old fashioned=noble/upper class and modern=common/lower class.#This translates entirely naturally—I think especially to an American audience—but it is wild once you notice it#Because you realize: “Hang on—shouldn't *all* these characters be talking like they're living in the medieval era?”#“And what does it mean that they're not? What is the movie attempting to convey with this—probably entirely subconscious—artistic choice?”#kung fu panda

On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?
*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)
*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)
(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )
(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)
#polls#tumblr polls#I'm mostly in the 0/1 - 25$ category. Maybe the rare month is a bit over $25 if there's something specific going on like birthday.#Which I'm NEVER eating in an actual restaurant (erm... covid... plus I just hate restaurant environments. i would rather pickup#the food and bring it home to a peaceful quiet environment that I control lol). But more typically like stopping by a grocery store deli#section or something. I don't have coffee that much. And I can't eat fast food much due to my health issues/diet restriction stuff#so if I'm out like coming back from an appointment and I start feeling really sick and weak. I know that a hamburger will just#blow up my system and cause nausea or something. So I try to pick the breadiest most#neutral looking turkey sandwich at the safeway deli to eat during the hour ride home or whatever lol#I actually kind of wish I could do stuff like get food more often vecause it would take the burden of cooking everything off of me#but.. alas... Money... and Health Things... T o T#I still wouldn't do it ALL the time but like... once a week instead of once a month or something.. or maybe turning into a coffee#person.. I do love drinks A LOT .. i am a drink person who will have 5 different drinks sipping on at all times#But i just have to make them all myself mostly lol#And I cant really have too much coffee since it will make me sick. so like.. teas and juice mostly#When I inevitably become a millionaire by never using social media never networking and only finishing one#sculpture every 5 months which I dont even post about or sell - then I shall... get more drinks..#I will somehow wean my body onto coffee and drink one a day solely for the ritual of it#Though even then... I would still probably just like.. buy the mateirals to make it at home or something#Like if you had a million dollars you could just buy a kitchen grade ice cream machine and other stuff to make your own milkshakes and#coffees and smoothies and bubble teas. Genuinely I think even if I were a BILLIONAIRE I would still look at playing likr $8 for a single#coffee and go .. uh.... I could just buy the equipment to make this and then save that money. PLUS. its in my house now so no need to#have to leave. I can make my own drinks in the comfort of home. .. ideal..#Like no matter how rich I ever got I would still have the lingering scroogey stinginess. like i am NOT paying for that. I will jus#make it myself. Especially if it was an Everyday thing. Anythign thats part of my routine I try to optimize and make as efficient as#possible... ANYWAY.. In an IDEAL world I would get treats. but probably not that much. as on a daily basis it would start to get#to me and I would just save up to buy kitchen machinery if I was rich lol

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.
two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!
#i don’t know if pay rates differ per networks#but a.ivi and s.urrashu have said that they needed to work outside of su in order to make sufficient funds#it only makes me wonder what other ways su suffered from a lower budget#that we as the audience never got to see#in the vein of the too-little characters complaint#another part of that is that low-stakes episodes should’ve been abt the main cast instead of the townies#like last one out of beach city and too short to ride vs restaurant wars and kiki’s pizza delivery service#i definitely see that especially since that isn’t budget related#nor would it seem to be network related (even if cn had an ‘episodic episodes’ quota it could still be abt the gems#(another side note: /would/ cn even have a requirement that the show make episodes that can be watched standalone?#this is a question for the people who were around when su was airing#what episodes often got rerun?#was it the townie eps or the lore eps?#for example i heard that su once did a ‘peridot event’ where they just reran peridot episodes#which had eps that skip around in the show#did they even care about airing the story so that it made sense anyways?#id get it if the low stakes townie episodes were the ones getting rerun))#but i have such a boring view on that which is i think it’s simply because the creators like townie eps#like in interviews r.ebecca s.ugar has said she’s the type to be really invested in background characters#answers in interviews have been crafted in ways to hide what’s really going on though tbf#prime example of this is rebecca and ian saying the wedding being interrupted was meant to follow the common trope#when later in the art book they said that it was bc cn rejected the ep bc it ‘wasn’t interesting enough’#both could simultaneously be true! it’s a psychology thing though where people make up nice-sounding explanations behind what they create#in retrospect because they want it to be thought out in such a nice way they believe in it#the bigger problem is that not matter how many episodes there are of them#it can be hard for ppl to be invested in the townies the same way they are invested in the main cast#i’m sure that a million writers have made surefire advice on how to get an audience to care about characters#but off the top of my head i think it’s because 1. most don’t have strong motivations to get truly invested in#(exception is ronaldo but people find him too annoying to care about him)#okay i had more points and explanations but i hit the tag limit and idk if anyone is actually reading this so bye

chinamatsu old image dump (If the style changes drastically within these, its because theyre from a long span of time)
^Not the finished version of this comic. I lost the finished version. Which seems to have happened more often than not with comics specifically.
Also, I often used their Chinese names, but I guess for this comic I had decided not to...?
#chinamatsu is one of my favorite aus ive been crazy about it for years....... i will do so many things with it its crazy#sub aus of aus. so fun#but i do especially love modern age au chinamatsu. because i love modern china and i work with kids.#osomatsu-san#osomatsu san#mr osomatsu#osomatsu#karamatsu#choromatsu#ichimatsu#jyushimatsu#todomatsu#my art#chinamatsu#sorry about long post. ill tag that too.#long post#im really fond of this stuff........#simultaneously im a little shy.#also one of these images has yokais in it. funny.#i also have another version of the apartment where theyre wearing the modern clothes instead of the hkw clothes but this post is long enoug#anyway duansongs favorite game at the ripe age of 2 or whatever is 'get away from jiejie and go back in the restaurant and san gege gets#angry and puts her back outside. and you repeat. its very fun for her

Small bonus! heeheehoo :3c
#heehee them <3#Threw a small hc into this!!:#Even if they do live together they very rarely get to the restaurant at the same time#Be it because Tang has to go to work somewhere else or because he refuses to wake up at 8 am with pigsy every day to open shop- either work#They've worked out a schedule/times that Tang comes in and Pigsy keeps a close eye on the clock every day waiting for him#He also probably prepares a spare bowl of noodles just for him a few minutes before he should get there#Got to make sure husband is safe!! and well fed!!!!#Also the hc that they both get kind of flustered by sudden unexpected affection from the other especially in public#They are very husbands your honor this is my testimony#lmk pigsy#lmk tang#lego monkie kid#monkie kid#freenoodleshipping#lmk freenoodles#It is 2 am and my brain is refusing to word smart sorry if any of these tags are worded weird auaghh#He was late in the first place because he was brainstorming ways to fluster his husband just for funnsies#snout kiss proved to be very effective!!#Zaacoy art💫

If y’all wanna add either you’re general region, generations, and why you use the phrase in a reblog that would be cool to :)
#pole#restaurant etiquette#personally I say could I get… please/thank you#I say that because it sounds more polite and understanding to me#and I’m Gen z from the west coast in the us#but I’ve been told by others that this phrase is childish and that I will have.. is the proper way to speak#these people are older gen x and typically where raised elsewhere in the us so I’m curious to know#especially cuz I can’t seem to find any studies or articles about the subject

#been trying to figure out how to ‘discern God’s Will’ for years now#and think somethings finally starting to hit me#went through this phase where it was like I know God’s Will because he has Revealed it to me (wrong)#or at least like. it’s not like here is a prophetic dream of all your future and now you must make sure your decisions line up with that#<-not how it works#then I went through this phase like how can I make Any decision if I don’t know the exact decision God would have me make here? i don’t have#the roadmap how do I know which way to turn?#<-contrary to popular belief life is NOT a Highway#then I went through a phase like oh! i have to be ok not knowing and trust God! leave that all to him and just do the thing in front of me!#<-yes!! but also. still leaves me incapable of making decisions#but now I’m getting to this construct:#for trying to make decisions:#1. orient your desires toward pleasing God#ie. hm. what can I do to please God?#note: this means what can I do to *please God* as in what pleases him?#what kinds of things are good what does he like?#2. oh! he likes these kinds of things I know (from what he’s told us) so what can *I* do to please God#based on what my skills and passions and circumstances are#in my unique way how can I please God?#and then 3. pursue some of those things and let God close and open doors as he will#and work to be content which is much easier when your goal is just to please him! like a lover their beloved or a child their parent#cause if that doesn’t please Him then it’s contrary to your goal and you don’t mind losing it so much#*this is all in a case of open ended decisions especially#cause obviously if it’s a good choice or a bad choice you should do the right thing that’s God’s will#but when it’s like jobs or moves or spouses of restaurants or whatever#God’s not a fortune cookie! you can’t anticipate his providence and make it happen yourself!#he’s *providing* it as you go! unbeknownst to you generally!#anyways! that’s where I’m landing#what can I do to *please God*. what can *I* do to please God. what *can* I do to please God

Took a gamble on the frozen checkers/rallys fries and they’re actually really good. Definitely some of the best oven-cooked fries I’ve ever had. They’re crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
#especially cause I don’t really like checkers fries from the restaurant#they’re one of those places where all of their fried food just tastes like the oil it was fried in#long John silvers is another example of that

It took me like 10 years to be able to recognize when I am having a flashback because the movies told me the whole thing was supposed to be very cinematic, inside and out.
In reality, for most people, it just looks like they are hardcore zoning out.
And internally, it seems like flashbacks are only a full visual-audio movie-worthy experience for very few people.
Which is equally valid and definitely horrifying, but since I thought all flashbacks were supposed to be like that, it was very hard to figure out that "my brain suddenly leaping back in time to a prior emotional state of being from recalling a traumatic experience" = "flashback."
#original#mental illness#mental health#flashbacks#ptsd#cptsd#c ptsd#Logically#I may know where I am. But I am contending with a nervous system that suddenly believes I may be dying.#And coming back down from that is very hard and very painful. Especially since a flashback means a disconnect from our present reality.#Try telling your body it is safe when you don't quite remember if that is true from moment to moment.#Anyway today's flashback was triggered by: i was hungry and saw a parking sign. I mean HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PLAN FOR THAT???#I was on my way to a restaurant! I was about to eat!#I didn't know a parking sign was gonna be a trigger when it never has before! The fuck!

i think culinary school is a portal to hell :) i would strongly advised against it :)
i appreciate u being real w me haha. i ended up going with a community college culinary arts AAS program because $$ and also if i hate it it's easier to change to something different.
#my ultimate goal is do something more like catering or private chefing or the true ideal would to be a personal chef for a family#eventually#i don't want to have a longterm career in a restaurant kitchen or anything#and from what i understand personal/private chef clients like to see a degree on ur resume#especially bc i would have to market myself i think it would just be really helpful#if i wanted to work in a restaurant i would skip school and just. go work in a restaurant bc the experience is much better#like working ur way up in a restaurant is a much cheaper and more hands on way to learn how to be a great restaurant chef#idk if that makes any sense haha#i just think for my end goals going to school makes the most sense#asks
