i like overthink everything now it makes me feel so dumb. i used 2 be able to just talk 2 ppl but nowadays every single thing im like Is that actually going to make them hate me. Yes probably. and then i just dont respond which makes ppl hate me. this is how it is
#ive been overthinking 1 light and casual mildly funny response to something but im worried itll come off as disrespectful and dismissive And#make me seem stupid and uncaring all at the same time. and also be seen as insulting. but like idt itd be insulting right like. im not#saying what it is so ig for all you guys know im like I mean if i say All your shit suck ball and i hateit kys. <- thats not the thing i was#going to say#like it doesnt matter now the window for response is closed now but i feel stupid bc i shouldve just said it it was light and casual. im so#bad at keeping convos gojng im convinced im not going to survive. In like a light and casual way like in a He will not make it through the#winter joke way. dw. im not going to do anything bc i had One failed interaction. if i was going to do anythjng itd be bc of the 8000000#other failed interactions. But im not. anyways. it just makes me feel so useless š like i want to respond i want to talk to ppl so bad but#i feel like i mess things up Irreparably every time i speak OR i take too LONG overthinking my response and then i just cant respond bc its#been too long and then its been 3 years and the only messages ive ever sent r my intro message and 1 message 2 years ago that nobody#responded to at all. or the conversation stopped immediately after. and like i used to be better at this i was lkke. talkative in a couple#muts servers like. i talked 2 ppl daily in those servers and i had fun and like. I was an important part of the group and i felt like it#but i just feel like such an outsider for Everything and its literally my fault bc i cant just like. Talk. The explosion. bc im always like#im gonna try im gonna do it this time im gonna get it back im going to finally be Good connor and im going to fix it all and make a Good#solid friend group and ill find HEALTHY LOVE and i wont selfsabotage and ill move out and have a job and ill balance it well and ill start#all my hobbies and ill have a great routine and be so loveable and on top of it and not stressed and content and happy and roll with the#punches and then theres a single hiccup and im like Well fuckinf whatever im going to be an unemployed hermit forever and im going to die b4#im 25 anyways so Who cares and also im digging a little hole for myself. and its like. AUGHH ik i just have to persevere and overcome but#even saying that feels so stupid its not fucking hard its Talking to ppl. like. i literally if ive ever said a word to you i had to think#avt it and strategize how to respond right even for like. like. it makes it sound like its not genuine it is#like for example i want to say hey i love your art! but then i freak out and im like thats not normal thats like a rly generic comment they#hear that all the time theyll thjnk im being polite and my brains like hrmmm rewrite Your art changed my life. It shaped me. Ill never be#the same. Nad im like ok too far overcorrected go back and the sentence generator is like Your art has colors šÆ like. GOD. WHY IS IT SO#difficult. and then usually i either just dont say anythinf and feel awful abt it 4ever OR i send it on anon and then i spend like 15#minutes ibsessively slightly tweaking the apelling and capitalization and punctuation to make sure it doesnt seem like its me just in case#it Is the worst possible thing to say but then i see the response and itll be like AWWW TYSM :] THIS MEANS A LOT or whathaveyou and i feel#stupid bc i couldve just Told them this to their face and it wouldve been a good positive interaction we had. but instead i had 2 hide and#tyoe entirely differently so they couldnt sniff me from my typing style. and it soesnt even feel like the thanks is actually 4 me bc i#tweaked the message sm. and it still makes me happy that the oersons hapoy but its like. that couldve been a nice mutual interaction#like not that i need a personal ty i compliment ppl when i Want to compliment ppl and when its genuine yk. i dont do it so i get mutualpoint

& š® what are lyrics from anything mcr/mcr adjacent that you think genuinely helped you/saved you/just made you feel a little less alone in your struggles, if you have any
Thank you nathan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
š©ø: do you have a memory associated to the first time you listened to each of the mcr albums? Not really? usually whenever i listen to an album in full i just kinda sit down and do it. and its been so long since i heard any of their songs or albums for the first time that those memories are nothing but blurs. šø: whatās your favorite song by ray toro? Oooogghhh can i say the entire remember the laughter album? its literally such a masterpiece and the fact that ray produced the whole thing himself with almost no help just makes it that much better. ray toro is in fact a musical genius and his compositions make my fucking monkey brain go oohh aahhhh and i feel like he deserves way more recognition than he gets, š§šæāāļø : whatās the most rewarding thing for you about being an mcr fan? (finding friends, experiencing shows, etc.) iāve been into mcr since i was like 8 years old, and ever since then its always been about the community for me. i heard their songs when i was a young kid being bullied and harassed and found out that i wasnt alone through their music. like the messages they put out i intensely connected with. and i think that was their intention, to let people who were a little fucked up know that its Okay to be a little fucked up.
š® : question of the anons choosing im gonna stick to mcr lyrics that helped me and made me feel a lil less alone bc if i went into mcr adjacent things we would literally be here all day.
I went a lil crazy so my answer is under the read more <3
āThe boys and girls in the clique / the awful names that they stick / youāre never gonna fit in much kid / but if youāre troubled and hurt / what you got under your shirt / will make them pay for the things that they did.ā ~ Teenagers
āBack home, off the run / signing songs that make you slit your wrists / it isnt that much fun, staring down a loaded gun.ā ~ Cemetery Drive
āBut nobody cares if youāre losing yourself / am i losing myself? / Well i miss my mom! will they give me the chair? or lethal injection or swing from a rope if you dare? / ah nobody knows, all the trouble iāve seen.ā ~ Prison
āWell mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue / you shouldāve raised a baby girl, i shouldve been a better son / if you could coddle the infection they can amputate at once / you shouldāve been, i couldve been a better son.ā ~ Mama
āShe said, You aināt no son of mine / For what youāve done theyāre gonna find / a place for you and just you mind your manners when you go / and when you go donāt return to me, my love.ā ~ Mama
āDo or die youāll never make me / Because the world will never take my heart / Go and try, youāll never break me / We want it all, we wanna play this part / I wonāt explain or say iām sorry / iām unashamed, iām gonna show my scars / Give a cheer for all the broken / listen here, because itās who we are / Iām just a man, iām not a hero / just a boy, who had to sing this song / iām just a man, iām not a hero / I donāt care.ā ~ WTBP
āI see you lying next to me / With words i thought iād never speak / awake and unafraid, asleep or dead.ā ~ FLW

āTrust, you said / who put the words in your head? / Oh, how wrong we were to think / that immortality meant never dying.ā ~ sorrows
āAnd now, the red ones make me fly and the blue ones help me fall / And I think iāll blow my brains against the ceiling. / And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall / fall on your tongue like pixie dust, just think happy thoughts.ā ~ Headfirst
āAnd in this moment, we canāt close the lids on burning eyes / our memories blanket us, with friends w know, like fallout vapors / steel corpses stretched out towards an ending sun / Scorched in black, it reaches in and tears your flesh apart / as ice cold hands rip into your heart. / thats if youāve still got one thats left / inside that cave you call a chest / And after seeing what we saw / can we still reclaim our innocence? / And if the world needs something better / lets give them one more reason now.ā ~ Skylines

ok ok a 68 plymouth gtx for ris is perfection but what do u think the rest of the squadra has? i really wanna say one of them has a studebaker somehow but i just dont know (ignore it was a us based company i love them anyways shhhh)
god. this is the best ask i couldve ever gotten. buckle up. ha ha. bc cars. and also bc Iām not gonna shut the fuck up
but YEAH NO SAME i also chose to foolishly disregard that italians wouldnt likely drive american cars (or necessarily drive at allā¦america is mad obsessed with cars compared to a lot of other countries so sdkfhsdkj) bc its all fun and games so ik a lot of this would be unrealistic but Iām american so i really only know about american cars/cars that are popular in america dskjfsdkjf so sorry for America-Centrism On Main but if any italians or ppl w knowledge of italian cars wanna chime in w their own takes, by all means!!!
oh and this post also foolishly assumes la sqaudra has money. lets pretend for just this post they all actually got paid for their jobs
SO WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAYĀ warning this is gonna make this post rly long but Iām gonna ad pics of the cars i think theyād all drive like. in case anyone reading wants to know what they look like but doesnāt wanna look em all up so Iām gonna throw this under a cut in case it gets crazy
ok i can 1000% see sorbet and gelato sharing a like studebaker speedster that they would take out cruising for special occasionsā¦.it would spend most of its time under a tarp locked in a garage bc if you touch that car without permission you WILL die by their loving intertwined hands. some couples have babies. some couples get dogs. sorbet and gelato got a studebaker speedster and treated it with almost as much love as they do each other. one might think their driving would match theĀ ācrazyā impression everyone has of them but honestly? they prefer to take it slow and cruise so they have more time to enjoy each others company. on the job theyāll wreck a rental all to hell, but not their baby.Ā the rest of squadra would low key fear for their lives on the rare occasion that sorbet and gelato offered them rides in their car bc the inside is spotless and they all knew if they left anything out of place or dirtier than they found it their time was up
i think theyād dig a color scheme something like this; still looks mob and sophisticated without losing the whimsicality u feel me
i really like a classic chevelle ss orĀ ā67 mustang gt500 for formaggio
(ignore how fuckin shiney these are bc make no mistake his would be scratched and worn all to hell)
in line w my headcanon that heād be knowledgable about cars, i think heād like supe them up and mod them for street racing or 1960s style drag racing. since we donāt get a lot of individual sqaudra backstory i sometimes think about him maybe losing his parents at a young age or having a bad home life as is typical of passione members and getting taken in by a local mechanic, and only as he got older realizing the shop had mafia ties which eventually paved the way for his induction etc but the knowledge and interest in cars always stuck with him. i think heād probably drive the most recklessly out of all of squadra (rivaled only by ghiaccio ofc) bc he just loves to go fast as fuck and show off. heās definitely a revs-the-engine-when-he-drives-by-someone-cute ass bitch
illuso would drive aĀ ā71 dodge demon, and honestly only because he liked the name and how it looked
it would honestly drive formaggio insane that illuso would ONLY use this car to get around as opposed to flying down the countryside or doing burnouts in a field. illuso doesnāt know much about cars and he doesnāt care to learn either; if it looks good and the engine turns heās happy. formaggio would BEG him to race him or let him take it for a spin, but illuso would be adamant in turning him down every time. he has no desire to take risks and tear up a perfectly good car, but if he feels especially generous heāll let formaggio ride with him while formaggio excitedly rattles off specs illuso doesnāt understand in the slightest. he wonāt readily admit to it but seeing formaggio that excited is really endearing and illuso would even end up learning something here and there from their time spent together
ghiaccio is anal enough about All Things Italian that he breaks my disclaimer and actually does drive an italian car. y'all already know what the fuck is going on
hell yeah ghiaccio drives a lambo.Ā ā71 lamborghini miura to be exact. and boy does he make this motherfucker screech and drift. as much as he seems to abuse the car heās extremely uptight about upkeep and will take it in as often as needed for repairs. you can also bet your ass heād berate any of his fellow squadra members that didnāt drive italian-made cars, asking them why theyād choose to drive that trash on wheels when their country is home to the best cars in the entire fucking world and they have their pick. being in the passenger seat with him at the wheel is terrifying, donāt get me wrong, but heās actually a very skilled driver, like to the point that he probably couldve been a stunt car driver if he wanted. but whatever you do donāt show any adverse reactions to his hard turns or brakes bc he will take it as a personal insult to his skill as a driver and you will find that the louder his voice gets the heavier his foot gets on the gas so Good Fucking Luck. (also yes ik we already see ghiaccio driving a car in canon but its headcanon time and during headcanon time ghiaccio rocks the fucking lambo)
prosciutto would drive a big beautiful blue ā65 thunderbird convertible
he would also be very particular about the upkeep of his car, but without any sort of personal touch; he hasnāt the time nor desire to keep up with the car himself so he just makes sure he takes it to a reputable shop to do it for him. itās not hisĀ ābabyā or an heirloom; its just a car. it runs and looks good as all fuck while doing it so thats all he really cares about tbh. that said, if anyone ever scratched or keyed or dented it they wouldnāt live long to regret bc as a wise man once said, you donāt fuck with a mans automobile. i mentioned this in the my squadra meme as well, but even though he smokes like a chimney, he NEVER smokes in his car. no smoking, eating, or drinking in the thunderbird. sealed packs of cigs in the console only and if the seals been broken it has to stay in your pocket. the upholstery is pristine and he prefers to keep it that way. heās a very mild mannered driver and even often errs on the side of slow; he doesnāt really see the point in wasting gas by speeding or messing up the tires or alignment by showboating. he knows that he AND the car already look good enough to command bystandersā attention so he doesnāt waste his time with any extra flashiness
ima keep it real with you chief: melone would drive a car you could fuck in the back of and thats about all there is to it, so look no further than the spaciousĀ ā61 chrysler newport
he would somehow figure out a way to get an aux cord and a sound system in this old motherfucker and would listen to his music so loud it about rattled the doors off, much to any passengersā chagrin. heās almost worse to ride with than formaggio or ghiaccio because he texts and messes with the music the entire time heās driving. like its almost impressive how often he manages to NOT have his hands on the wheel. heās a master knee-driver. all that in mind the rest of squadra groans in unison when melone offers to drive and risotto, who doesnāt have time for a squabble, gives the ok and send them on their way bc they know theyāre gonna have to deal with melone insisting that driver picks the music and white knuckling the handles the whole time. but regardless, if the chryslerās rockin and the britneyās boppin, donāt come a-knockin
since i see pesci as the youngest i think heād be the last to get a car, but the rest of squadra would surprise him by all pitching in and getting him aĀ ā69 buick sport wagon
itād definitely be a fixer-upper (prosciutto insisted itād be good for pesci to retroactivelyĀ āearnā the car by learning how to take care of it, prompting the rest of squadra to point out prosciutto never even learned how to fix a car himself) but pesci would be out of his mind appreciative of it either way. after years of only ever riding in the back seat of someone elseās car heād be so excited about finally having a car to call his own. formaggio would take him under his wing and show him everything he needed to do to make sure she stayed running in tip-top shape and theyād grow pretty close over it; formaggio would lose his damn mind the first time heād convince pesci to do a burnout on his own. pesci would try his best to keep the car clean but heād probably have a bad habit of leaving empty drink bottles in the floorboard or extra jackets in the back seat, but all in all heād do a pretty good job taking care of the car and making the generous gift from his team worth it. most non-work related outings would have pesci chauffeuring, but he wouldnāt mind, bc seeing all his friends crammed into his car and having a good time would make him really happy
and last but not least risotto and hisĀ ā68 plymouth gtx š¤
perhaps surprisingly he wouldnt be excessively meticulous about upkeep; he definitely wouldnt do anything needlessly reckless to harm the car or neglectful of standard upkeep, but he would definitely see it as more of a personal part of him than a machine that needed to maintain perfection. he wouldnāt really sweat scratches or dents here and there; theyāre bound to happen to a car that old and if he found the time heād take it to get it buffed. like i said in the hc meme i think it wouldāve belonged to his father (or any family member he was close to really) and it was passed onto him when he died so itās kind of a sentimental thing for risotto. though not quite the same level as formaggio, heās fairly good at making standard repairs on his own, and doesnāt mind spending a weekend or two up under the car fixing it up and making sure it runs smooth. the rest of squadra would each be surprised the first time they ever rode anywhere with him; the second the car started old classic rock or metal would blast through the speakers, with risotto mumbling a quick sorry and turning it down, but not all the way off. they would find out that their stoic leader prefers to drive with the windows down, one hand on the wheel, other out the window tapping to the beat of the music on the hood
aaaaaaaaand YEAH. i told you i wasnāt gonna shut the fuck up DSFHKJADHKSDJ LMAO SORRY I WENT TF OFF BUT YEAH THOSE ARE MY. SQUADRA CLASSIC CAR HCs
#txt#la squadra di esecuzione#yeah iĀ gonna tag this!!Ā just forĀ funsies!!#idk just in case anyone else is. asĀ interested inĀ specifically squadra and classic cars as i am LMAO

Hello, testing how to type read more on mobile
Plus, me reminiscing on things lol pls dont mind it and scroll past~
when childhood friend first brought his gf at home in bāāāāāās, i was a bit saddened and lowkey jelly (and socially awkward bc thats just how i am) and also lowkey shocked bc so fast?? š
and they were already living together in tāgāātāy, and my aunt was going off about how the girl is lucky bc childhood friend is rich
sigh
good for them tho š they're still together after 5 yrs and until now i dont think im over with what ive done in the past
I remember still texting to this guy way back and going "shit, i think i really really like him" and its the first time in my life that i have ever considered what my social standing is and all of a sudden the confidence i thought i had flew off the window
and everything felt too fast and too slow at the same time, and i did really want to talk to him more, i did really want to know him better, what ticks him off, what kind games he plays, his friends, his opinions, his standing in school --
then there came the thought:
what can i offer him? the things he had experienced are things i dont think i will be able to catch up with. all i have to offer is my tolerance for pain lol and even if we could be happy now, i dont think we'll be happy in the long run
then there came the thought: i am not the right person for him
im just way too complicated of a woman that even i, myself, find hard to uncomplicate. what can i offer you except my inner turmoils and insecurities and whatever sad past or heavy burdens im carrying? i ended up looking and regarding you so highly to the point i'd hate to see you stoop below just to reach my level. i think you are way too good of a person for me, so i cutted you off before things between us could develop and called you bro
then you got mad. for a split second, i was happy bc did that mean u also thought we couldve been more than just friends? and the other split second, is regret and shame bc "what the fuck am i doing?"
you did end up saying some hurtful things that made me realize what the consequence of my action meant. Later, you apologized, but I didnt. It wasnt really entirely just your fault. It was me who one-sidedly decided to end things. You will never know that.
Even until now, I dont know whether I did the right thing. Heck, whenever his name is mentioned, I'd always have an urge to hide. Honestly, please don't even look at me.
But, ayy, here we are now. You are with someone else for 5 years, and i really am genuinely happy that you found the right person for you. May you be blessed upon and continue being happy henceforth āØļøš
#nomina rants#now that this is out in the open#and i can somewhat explain to myself why i did things#maybe i can look at the guy straight in the eye the next time we met š#'wow nomina this sounded like some Highschool love flick'#thats bc it did happen in highschool š but the guy was my childhood friend since preschool /lies down#aNYWAY dont mind this rant#i just like to look back and read whatever rant things i wrote on this tag#so i posted it here

June Small Wins
1 - ecmocard meeting with ppl from aussie to learn to sort out data. Felt better after the meeting cause i didnt feel like doing anything before. Got two season deli box cake from dapur cokelat for nessa. Videocalled w her and ren.
2 - dr eva chatted and gave things to do. I also need to make intern log for dr retha. I just cant bring myself to start. Finally mustered the courage. Im not the type of person for wfh. At least in this house. Finished reading love or hate. I rly felt like shit at night.
3 - started reading positively yours. Had no will to do anything
4 - some more sending spss work for dr eva. weekdays with noĀ āoutside workā rly render me useless in functioning. a vegetable
5 - iluni webinar. Lost my attention during electrolyte and fluid stuff. tried to cook ribeye steak lmao (meat from @/fridaymeatshop). Its too chewy and leathery. But its not too welldone. And at least it tastes good. Went to depok by krl. its quite quick since krl arrived just after im at poris and duri. went ahead of silvi devi. satpam on the lobby wont open the access hhhh (i dont have one. i dunno why. mom said she cant find it although we supposedly have 2). but my mood improved once im upstairs. we prepped a bit of deco. conversed in the dark so not to make racheel suspicious. surprisee. had truffle belly chicken cheese for dinner. the cheese was not to cheesy, its more of a gentle taste. mushroom tastes better. we watched sweet and sour from my mobile data. surprisingly, its not that much of data. slept at like 12-1ish
6 - the electric token went out in the morning. we went for a walk in ui. the PLK man across of st ui forbade us from going in. ugh. but it was rly empty. so we went from barel. its empty on the library. there was a dog that walked along with us. talked a bit in front of the lake. went back. i got 2 moon chicken (the basic flavor and not the wings) and spicy jumeokbap. the jumeokbap was nothing like what i had in korea. like the seaweedās taste doesnt come out that much, and its not that flavorful/savory. the one in korea its good even by itself. went back to jkt nebeng reza silvi with devi. originally planned to go to flavola, but my head kinda hurts, so i finished my moon chicken at the mushola and asked juan to pick me up. still feel healthy and normal after going and staying out, so i started reading a book abt handwriting analysis lmaoo. fell asleep. tried several attempts to figure out my bpjs number and turns out the best there is to respond is BPJSā twitter. the problem was solved under 5 mins.Ā
7 - woke up, fell asleep again. Adita told me that i might be interviewed today for the ipd intern but theres no info. Did the registration stuff for my bpjs. Registered for npwp. Watched bts x na pd
8 - off to RSF. its audit day today. hiks to phonecall follow up work. i did not do anything inaco related, i just sat there and did dr dafsahās excel. dr vera bought me pecel ayam hehe yay. went to como park to meet up with indah regen. tried ricotta pizza from pizza place (33k). the cheese is cheese but not that typical cheesy (?) coupled with mushroom. i had to add sauce to withstand the last bites (still kinda full). tried otherās as well, pesto and mushroom. pesto had the most taste. while waiting for doggo to arrive, we bought gelato (S: 35k). apparently their special flavor was ricotta lmao. tried green tea (bitter, which i like) and peanut butter + caramel, which makes you feel thirsty. watched the doggos from the sidelines. after maghrib we went to 1/15. ordered ice mocha (50k). the chocolate taste stood out more. not gonna order again lol. the staff initially recommended pandan flavor. took grab to gbk station to go home.
9 - rsf. second audit day. i hate it here lmao. im not even paid for my time here. excused myself to eat. turns out mbak Ai bought hokben. i almost forgot thanking her since i felt hungry with a bit of headache. talked a bit with dr retha regarding changes of assistant (since internship is soon). went back and immediately laid down in bed. mom bought pizza so thats what i ate for dinner. fell asleep (i can feel it. my face will get consequences)
10 - cant bring myself to do anything. i reread painter of the night lmao. seungho is a prick. inhun is also a prick (a greedy one). ate arirang bone marrow. put the egg-seasoning mixture to the pan since im not confident enough to just pour boiling water into the bowl. felt surprisingly full. went to sbux. green tea latte as usual. but turns out tumblr 50% promo only applies to sbux member. so i had to pay 40k for my green tea latte. at least i got to feel good from outside vibes. did some follow up for INACO patients.Ā
11 - went to rm rsf. Took lots of photos of RM. I was given rujak by the rm staff lmaoo so cute. Didnt do any entry afterwards lmao i just laid down
12 - breakfast is paldo jjajangmen and egg. It tasted like soy. Its good but not in a micin way. Its quite fulfilling. Had some of the beef slices by putting it in a buttered pan (is it pan fried? Grilled? Idk). Had banana and brownies together (makes it rly good). Did a bit of clires work. I drank sbux's caramel macchiato but yall my stomach cant handle it lmao. It hurts so much that i even got a headache. So i just laid down in bed
13 - had arirang again loll. Inserted the egg to the pan still, but quicker this time. Its too salty today. Maybe its not enough water. I was eating it while googling how to remove excess sodium. Ate the rest of beef slices (shared with bros ofc) and mixed some with moms fried rice. Ate banana brownies again. Felt soooo full. Did some clires work accompanied by sbux matcha
14 - i felt like shit this morning. Watched leahs vid. Listened to her podcast while having bfast. I walked from moms car to bougenville while still feeling like shit. It slowly gets better afterwards, thankfully. Did some clires and follow up. Went to gandy steak in dr retha's car (which had anesthesiology textbook inside). Tried aus sirloin steak. The bread tasted ok. The garlic bread also ok. The mashed potato was so so (the one in depok was more creamy and smooth). The steak was good, especially the fat part, the sauce so so. Honestly that depok steak had more value for money compared to this, i think. Nebeng dr rara and husband to busway station. Arrived in ar and i immediately showered, such wow šš
15 - today is no rsf day aka self made wfh day. Moms getting vaccinated today. I just lazed. And read kanej fics
16 - off to rsf. Took care of rm stuff. Tried social affair's croffle since i was so curious (60k [10k tip]). The nutella and cinnamon sugar one. Its crunchy and a bit crumbly inside, but not as fragile as croissant. Its quite fulfilling too. But its basically flour batter variations. (thats what mom would say). randomly chatted racheel and we ended up taking a walk and a bit of jog citra 6 (with my sneakon regular shoes). My left tendon was screaming lol. Picked up by juan who surprisingly effortlessly found the address at night.
17 - mbak aan chatted me today to go to rscm. Met prof murdani at pesc and he gave me ppt assigment for 13:30 THAT DAY. Finished it unsatisfyingly (i wish i couldve done more). Lunch was free bebek bkb yay thankyou Prof c: (he even asked what did i ate) took care of legalisir stuff. Went home by tj. Drank matcha w vsoy and i somehow was not sleepy after maghrib. I also changed my desj layout. Maybe it kinda works to separate my spaces
18 - arrived at rscm at 8-ish. sent updated thibbun nabawi ppt. literature search. and then somehow its 14:30. went to SCI w ara wani rasyid. tried bandeng nyonya, oyster, salmon, cumi lada garam (its crazy good among all the good tasting food wtff), shrimp and pocai telor (veggie stuff). dessert was thailand cassava. spent about 190k. went back by TJ. had wudu at pulomas and prayed ashar on the bus lol. i passed out after playing w my phone lmaooĀ Ā
19 - spent almost the whole day just sleeping and eating. finally showered in the afternoon. had matcha vsoy latte after maghrib and with enough day sleeping, i did presentation outline. at like 1/2 am i initially planned to sleep but my eyes still have plenty of watts. so i read hold me tight. slept at like 4/5 am
20 - woke up at 9. off to om dokterās house to ask for healthy letter. we talked almost the entire time im there lol. before u know it mom and dadās done talking with grandma. om dokter shared some of his experiences in the past. and he said something about making your choice and living with it, and it will all have a meaning even if you might initially agonize about it. girl i was holding back tears. here he was talking about choices, something i never rly talk about at my house. im getting teary just typing this. he talked about it in a way that sounds simple, even though i agonized abt internship choices and sometimes avoid thinking about it. it rly rly was a new experience. i dont rly talk aboutĀ āchoicesā with my parents. so hearing how to go through options in life from a person i can relate to regarding this med stuff is. i feel like i would have loved it if i can hear his wisdom earlier. i dont talk with him much if my parents are around bcs they will just meddle and say stuff that wreck my peace. they dont rly know what im going through but can be very opinionated. this peaceful one on one talk rly made me feel relieved and reassured. and i was today years old when i found out he initially wanted to be a psychiatrist. he would have been a great psychiatrist. i feel like we have some understanding thats left unsaid. like he knows how my parents are like. he would probably understand why i dont talk with him much at AR. after what feels super quick, we went back to AR. registered for STR. searched some literature for the topics that Prof is the moderator of. powered by matcha energy
21 - rscm as usual. the Prof did not come. lunch was bread i brought from home. waited for mom to pick me up at kfc so i bought pukis kfc. its like properly made pukis and not the street seller made ones. the chocolate one was good since the toppings generous. felt a bit feverish? like my body felt warm. fell asleep and then suddenly its 6 am in the morning.Ā
22 - Prof still did not came. had amartās ayam penyet jamur for lunch. turns out juan bought ayam geprek gendut for dinner. night time is diarrhea time lmaooooo. did not feel sleepy at AR but i skipped shower again lmao,,,,,,,, and then suddenly its morning again
23 - jajan from sisterfield today. tried their carrot cake and kopi susu gula aren. the carrot cake has that carrot texture. its different. the icing was fresh cream cheese that made the cake taste good. the coffee made my stomach ache a bit. it has that subtle chocolatey taste. fell asleep again. third timeās the charm (of 1x/day face wash). woke up at 3 am planning to sleep but i ended up washing my face. turns out atikah was still awake due to AZ fever.
24 - this is the bestest sleep i had in this week (?) had a dream about going to bandung and the car falling to water. forgot my headset today. can finally meet prof Mur. talked abt inaco stuff w agassi. reread komugi meruem lmaoo. felll asleep. somehow had the misfortune of hearing dadās hurtful words to mom. i want to fall asleep again but its difficuly. i went through stages of pent up anger, some sort of selfishness (i will go out from jakarta for internship), amazement to mom, and... (continue 2moro)
25 - lunch was dori rice from kanprim thanks to rasyidās jastip. watched btsā butter norebang lolll :(((. arrived at AR the fastest ive been. mom came to me right before maghrib andĀ summed some stuff dad said yesterday. she handled it in a trivial way. like she was unaffected. and that somehow helped me too. stuck around in the dining room for a while after maghrib. talked about internship w mom. i left some chance for dad to yap yap abt whatever related to internship (thankfully songs were full volume through my wireless headset) while im inhaling through my matcha latte. i wont write what he said bcs its lowkey super embarrassing. thank the gods for wireless speakers.Ā
26 - did not do anything productive today. Had arirang salted egg for bfast (wont repurchase). Had the meat cubes i bought online and its rly good. Ran with racil at citra 6. The tendon in my left feet hurt lol. Gmeet with ara et al to discuss internship review
27 - lazed. Wanted to start my day early but couldnt bring myself to. Binge watched twoset videos. Did clires stuff. 1 more RM to wait from IRMIK. No gastro intern work this weekend aaaa im starting to panic.
28 - juan came along otw to rscm. Talked about iship otw. brought tons of stuff to eat, including matcha latte, but i was unable to finish it lol. Discussed research budgeting w Prof. Didnt do anything in home. Starting to panic with my ppt progress.
29 - discussed budgeting revision. Prof thought abt little details i didnt even consider. Didnt do anything while at ar anjengggg
30 - prof did not come to dept today. Listemed to agassi rambling abt intern stuff. Immediately opened my laptop in ar. Watched two set. Played marapets lmaooo i finally managed to gather 3 au for shop pricer. But still didnot wash my face šļøšš¤¦āāļø maybe bcs i hate doing what people tells me to do (re: shower due to covid scare). Had a nightmare abt being in a car ride alone w dad and it was rly rly awkward

what's once on this island about?
i hope ur happy anon, bc this took me literally like six hours im not exaggerating even a little
short answer: so u take the original plot of the littlest mermaid and u plunk it down rIGHT in the middle of 1920s haiti, right
long answer (like, REALLY long answer. like REALLY long. im sorry i dont know how to summarize when there are so many good things):
āthere is an island where rivers run deepā¦ā
āwhere the sea, sparkling in the sun, earns it the name,Ā ājewel of the antilles.āā
āan island where the poorest of peasants labor āā
āā and the wealthiest of the grand hommes lay.ā
ātwo different worlds on one island!ā
āthe grand hommes, owners of the land and masters of their own fates.ā
āand the peasants, eternally at the mercy of the wind and sea, would pray constantly to the gods.ā
those are the four storytellers, beginning the play. lydia started the first line, then abby, then dori, then natalie, and repeat.
(oh yeah, also this is the jr version. also, i dont know everything bc i was backstage the majority of the time)
so the gods that the beach people / peasants are dancing to, theres 4 of them. asaka (played by lavanya in our production) is the goddess of the earth, erzulie (played by luke whoās closeted, so i change it to a god, erzulio) beautiful goddess of love. agwe (played by ian) is the god of the sea, and papa ge (eli, of course, and itās literally pronounced papa gay), my personal favorite, is the sly demon of death
and this is all described in the first numberĀ āwe danceā
stay tuned yo it gets better.
(its so good. dont ever listen to any version besides the chatham one i can guarantee you that any non-eli papa ge, any non-luke erzulie / erzulio, any non-lavanya asaka, any non-ian agwe, any non-lydia / dori / abby / natalie storyteller will not be as good)
so basically theres this storm, and in this storm is a little girl and the gods are likeĀ āno papa ge weāre not killing her you fuckā and they irresponsibly plunk her down in a tree
and so tonton julien (ben) and mama euralie (izzy) come along & are likeĀ āholy shit a kidā (and this girl is crying her eyes out of course bc as mr adam creatively put it to the girl who played young ti moune, āyou wereĀ just dropped in a tree by some randos youāve never seen before in your entire lifeā)Ā but like theyre poor and dont have a lotta food and shit so they try to leave but the gods, showing some small modicum of responsibility, like, use the force to pull them back. so these peasants adopt ti moune and name her ti moune and theres a whole big number about her growing up calledĀ āone small girlā which i quite like actually
then ti moune is grown up (sammie) and she sings about likeĀ āwhats my destiny yoā all naive in āwaiting for lifeāĀ and sees a car which is a big ol lead-in to the next number. which brings us to
so in the beginning ofĀ ārainā theres this HILARIOUS section of dialogue with the gods picking mangos and here it is bc i cant not include it man
asaka: šµ pick a mango! šµ
agwe: šµ a juicy mango! šµ
erizulie: šµ a lovely mango! šµ
papa ge, being Himself: š¶ a poison mango! š š¶
[all of the other gods look at papa ge]
anyway, after that theyre all proposing things to do to get ti moune less naive, with such wonderful suggestions from these dumbasses as āsplash her with a waveā andĀ āscare her half to deathā. and then erzulie is likeĀ āyeah u do that imma give her what she wants byeā and the other gods are likeĀ ā????????????ā and shes just likeĀ āYou Heard Meā and just goes likeĀ āLove Can Conquer Anything!!!!!!! :)))))))) ā¤ļøššššššššššā£ļøā and papa ge is likeĀ āthatās bullshit this whole thing is bullshit thatās a scam fuck the love hereās like two reasons whyā and they argue (and asaka remarks that this is āmore amusing than mangosā)Ā and the gods are allĀ āHMMMMš¤š¤ā and then they all goĀ āA BET!ā
and the gods all start like pitching in to set up this bet, so like erzulie gives her strength and asakaās gonna guide her but then papa ge interrupts likeĀ āIM GONNA MAKE HER CHOOSEā and then johnny boy i mean ian i mean agwe then calls dibs on choosing the circumstances of the bet
and u remember that car right? well ian agwe is likeĀ āthat. thats the place where the 2 worlds meetā and he creates a big ol storm and in the song he says (one of my favorite lines, actually)Ā ārain makes the road such a dangerous placeā (he did amazing in that song but i feel kinda bad bc like. he was overshadowed by the other gods who are all incredible singers, and parts of it were too low for him. like, eli can sing as high as he did, but ian really cant sing that low)
also they used the fish flags from the seussical two years ago when sammieās sister sidne played the cat in the hat. i always found it hilarious that dori of all people they couldve chosen played a fish
ANYWAY. so the car is goin down the road and crash oh no a car accident. totally not what agwe was (shot)gunning for
and so ti moune pulls this guy outta the car right, and ā by the way, now weāre in this super intense number calledĀ āprayā ā and this song is real fuckin good alright.
my opinion upon this is based almost solely on the fact that within the first like ten lines of this epically long song a peasant, talking about the guy that got pulled outta the car (daniel, thatās his name), says, literally:Ā āpapa ge wants him!ā i will remind you that papa ge is pronouncedĀ āpapa gayā and what makes it even more astronomically fuckin funny is that both hank, the guy that played daniel, and eli, who as u may know played papa ge, are mlm.
anyway no one wants to help daniel even tho heās Actively Dying bc Fuck The Grand Hommes, Am I Right Guys We Cant Do Anything Were Peasants And There Is Sanctity That We Must Never Talk To Look At Or Think About A Single Grand Homme, Everā¢ but ti mounes gonna help him bc Fuck You Guys and she keeps him alive while tonton julien goes to find the guys family after sheās Finally persuaded the guy to do this
and ti moune doesnt sleep for Three Fucken Days by the way. thats important in the next number
also daniel is supposed to be good looking so of course ti moune Falls In Love With Him despite never having seen him before in her entire life, and also hes unconcious the Whole time. i dont understand the heterosexuals
anyway, tonton juliens at the gate to daniels family hotel and heās likeĀ āpls let me in i need to speak to monsieur beausome!ā and the gatekeepers likeĀ āget the fuck away my guyā and hes likeĀ āno but its urgent!!ā and the gatekeeper SLAPS BEN [LAST NAME REDACTED]*
so ben i mean tonton recovers and like seriously gets down on his knees and begs and the gatekeeper is still likeĀ āFUCK! NO!ā and then ben fucking [last name redacted]* SCREAMS SAVAGELYĀ āI HAVE FOUND HIS SON!ā HOO BOY
and then at the end of pray you hear a long high note and then one specific girl takes it HIGHER ????????? idk who it is for sure but im willing to put my money on lavanya bc jesus christ can that girl sing
*people always say bens full name when referring to him for some reason, so itās not ben bc which ben? itās not ben b. itās ben [last name redacted].
so pray goes ge STRAIGHT into forever yours. not the reprise, thats later.
so. forever yours. in a STUNNING turn of events (sarcasm. absolutely the least stunning thing after the wholeĀ āpapa gay wants himā in pray), the VERY fucking FIRST LINE IN THIS WHOLE FUCKING STUPID HEARTFELT SONG is literally ti moune sayingĀ āi am a tree, holding away the stormā. are you fucking serious. are you kidding me. you waste the first line on that monstrosity,
anyway basically what happens in this is ti moune is singing about tending to daniel here it is
i am a tree holding away the stormhere in my arms iāll keep u safe and warmeven the gods wont dare to cross this linewhere my life is forever yoursand you are mine
and on that last word, āmineā, papa ge joins in and it is fuckin CHILLING, not LEAST bc eli has the voice of a fuckin angel (and sammie too, but i think eliās is just slightly better)
so eli stalks in and the first thing papa ge does, in a True demonstration of the gay / ge agenda, is Drag The Het.
(then he goes on to sayĀ āthis boy is mineā)
so eliās also got a knife (a fake one) and this is another Important Thing so yeah
anyway sammie ti moune shouldĀ āTAKE MINE FOR HIS.ā (her life she meant) and papa ge is SHOOK. he just ā¦ stops.Ā āwotā
so yeah. ti moune, in one of The most IMPRESSIVE displays of heterosexual tomfoolery and ridiculousness i have Yet Seen (scene), trades her life for this Complete Fuckin Stranger she pulled out of the car wreck whomst has not as of yet spoken a Single word to her bc HEāS BEEN UNCONSCIOUS THE WHOLE TIME!?
and heres another good line, the first gay daddy nico diangelo himself eli papa gay papa ge has had sinceĀ āwotā: i am the road / leading to no return
(and this is also where eli goes REALLY high. like not for basically everyone else, but for him)
then daniels two dads apparently, grant and hugh, pick him up and take him back to the hotel and ti moune is likeĀ āNOOOOOOOā and makes mama and tonton let her leave to go find daniel, and frankly i am not very interested in this specific part of the song so fuck that i skipped it lmao lets get to lavanyas fuckin SOLO
alright.Ā āmama will provideā. exactly what it says on the tin, taking it into account that asaka would be mother earth i guess
really all this one is is lavanyaās fuckin angelic voice and What Exists In Nature, and i cant very well put lavanyaās voice down on the page for yinz to hear can i? the only notable thing i can really think of besides this next piece a dialogue Ā will share w u is in the beginning theres a bunch of ensemble doing weird repeating acapella and some hopping in like frogs.Ā āCOO COO coo coo cOO COO COOOāĀ āSHAH shaSHA-ahāĀ ābuuuuu BUM! BUM! bumā its sounds slightly weirder than it is
anyway hereās the best dialogue:
everyone: MOSQUITOS??
asaka: HA!
ACT TWO HERE WE FUCKIN GO ALRIGHT
ok, so ti moune finds daniel who doesnt know who she is bc, you know, he was unconscious the entire time. she gets him to know she was the one who nursed him tho. and they go to the front of the stage and ti moune sits and daniel puts his head on her lap. again, poor hank
now, āhuman heartā. jesus. i have literally cried over this song.
so erzulie goes out on stage to where hank is slowly suffering, probably, and sings this GODS DAMN BEAUTIFUL SONG about like, love n shit i guess. the storytellers and the other three gods act as a sort of choir.Ā thatās pretty much all there is to say about human heart tho. moving on
ok so forĀ āpray (reprise)ā the gossipers (which are apparently supposed to be the storytellers, but fuck that thats lame, give my Cool Hoes lianna and taylor parts tbh) go out on stage and sing about how daniel is spending all his time w a peasant and shes a witch and yadda yadda yadda. and then theres some lame romance shit that i dont have fuckin time for
anyway, the song culminates with danielās father comin out on stage (lmao). which father, u ask? he had two of em? well that was grant and hugh, this oneās iain. conclusion: daniel has three polyamorous gay dads. this is the gayest production of a play ive ever seen. i mean papa ge? āpapa ge wants himā? the fact that tonton means uncle so mama euralie and tonton julien arent married?Ā āthis boy is mineā coming from daddy gay himself? the fact that daniels last name means beautiful man? the ābeautiful god of loveā (as luke said, refusing to misgender himself in his introduction U GO LUKE)? the fact that out of the main cast (the 4 gods, the 4 storytellers, daniel, ti moune, andrea, mama euralie, and tonton julien) there are literally eight (8) actors who Arent straight (id bet that two others arent str8 and or / cis as well but im not sure)?Ā just change daniel to danielle and itll be perfect
ayway danielās 3rd dad comes out on stage and tells him to stop this nonsense, young man ANYWAY NEXT SONG
in āsome girlsā the rich guys at the hotel all are doing a really lame colorless boring dance. then this girl andrea (ava) comes out and sings about the rumors about ti moune, that sheās stupid or wild, and daniel tells her to stop, then ti moune arrives and andrea really condescendingly asks her to dance for everyone and daniel encourages ti moune
so ti moune does a slow lame dance and then it gets loud and wild and fun! then when sheās done andrea goes to daniel and is likeĀ āsheās in love with you you oblivious fuck if you care at all youāll tell her āā (unclear about what heās caring about) and andrea is interrupted by ti moune whoās likeĀ āHI I HEARD MY NAME WHATCHA WANT ANDREAā and daniel goes and breaks her fuckin heart right
how he does this is heās likeĀ āoops sorry i thought u would realize that we could never marry bc andrea and i are already engaged (since we were babies)ā. daniel demonstrates an amazing amount of calmness about being forced to marry this girl heās known all his life, and an incredible amount of insensitiveness bc TI MOUNE WAS NEVER FUCKIN TOLD THAT HE WAS ENGAGED. honestly i loathe literally every single character in this play except for the gods and the storytellers lmao
OK NOW FOR MY FAVORITE FUCKIN ONE WOW :~)
the reprise of forever mine.
so. ti moune is alone on stage and she goes likeĀ āgods please are u listening help meā and then. u hear. eliās fucking amazing evil laugh and the gay himself appears
and heās like u gotta keep ur promise ti moune im here to collect on that Soul
did i mention elis voice is beautiful? no i dont care, im sayin it again, eli [last name redacted] has the voice of an angel
anyway heās likeĀ āu gave him ur soul, now u have to PAYā (the line he used here isĀ āi am the price youāll payā and that sounds cool as shit)
and soĀ āfather homosexual,ā as he was dubbed by luke, takes out his knife and singsĀ āyour life is forever mineā and holds the knife to ti mounes neck and ti moune yellsĀ āPLEASE DONTā and and and
he stops.
ātrade your life for his.ā
so papa ge gives her the knife and tells her to go stab daniel and he singsĀ āi am the road that leads to no returnā as he walks to the left side of the stage, and erzulie appears at the right side and sings human heart as papa ge continues with his verse from the first forever mine as ti moune struggles towards and away from daniel, straining, being pulled by opposite forces, love and death, and the two unite in singingĀ āforever mine!ā and ti moune casts the knife to the floor and screamsĀ āNO!ā
and the music stops
and daniel sees the knife and picks it up
and saysĀ āwhy?!ā
(fuckin bitch shoulda stabbed him when she had the chance)
and ti moune gets cast out and like, withers away at the gate neither eating nor sleeping, and then daniel comes to the gate with andrea at his wedding and sees ti moune and gives her a coin when she runs after him, and she collapses and the gods, sOMEHOW GAINING SOME MINISCULE VIEW OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR FUCKIN ACTIONS, all start CRYING. (erzulie won the bet) and erzulie hugs ti moune and papa ges probably off somewhere feeling sorry for himself bc you cant fuckin see him in the footage (nah, heās off at the side of the stage with the other two gods neither of whomst you can see either), and mama euralie comes to sing this sad and pretty numberĀ āpart of usā and then tonton and baby ti moune arrive as well for some fuckin reason,
and mama euralie says,
āand then the gods blessed her and turned her into āā
and then the gods hit their staffs on the floor (ian a bit gentlier bc his was falling apart bc he wouldnt stop fucking licking the fucking ribbons, ian) āa tree!ā
and the tree comes up, forwards this time thankfully (phew) and and the tree fuckin cracks the walls of the hotel, get rekt scrubs, and the tree fuckin stalks daniel i guess, and daniels son sits by the tree and looks up and theres a peasant girl in its branches, and ti moune touches everyones hearts and also their livers, andĀ everyone starts singingĀ āwhy we tell the storyā
also, fun story real quick, ive never actually seen eli dab i dont think (thatās something i need to accomplish real soon), and the dance he went off to the side and did with like, lydia, and agwe and ben [last name redacted] and daniels son and hugh ā i guess all the boys in musical theater and also lydia, and the dance they have to do looks pretty damn like dabbing, and like, eliās holding his staff so he cant do a true dab, really, but he can do a one armed one ā but no. his dancing looks more like fuckin waving. ben [last name redacted] is dabbing, daniels son is dabbing, im like 80 percent sure ianās dabbing directly behind eli, gloriaās dabbing in the back, but no, nOT ELI. im pretty sure heās deliberately avoiding it smh
anyway
whOOP exciting parts over. now itās time for Sad Half Circle Around Tree Girl i guess
āthe stories that we weave,ā and the storytellers and danielās son and the peasant girl in tree mouneās branches all come to the front and ā
āthere is an island where rivers run deepā¦ā
#once on this island#the storytellers#abby#lydia#dori#natalie#asaka#lavanya#erzulie#luke#erzulio#agwe#ian#papa gay#papa ge#eli#ti moune#sammie#tonton julien#mama euralie#izzy#ben [last name redacted]#mr adam#mangos#seussical#sidne#cat in the hat#hank#daniel#puns

okay ANIMORPHS cooking headcanons, who can follow a recipe, who doesnt understand portion control, who sets pasta on fire
wow what a surprise i cannot believe u have requested this
take 3 on the cooking headcanons. U ASKED FOR IT
marco:Ā remember how whenmarco was 11 his mum died and his dad fell into a major depressive episode andmarco unofficially became his own sole carer for 2 years? HA good times wellmarco knows how to cook. thats how heās alive. he never viewed the task withmuch enthusiasm bc it was just like,, something that needed to be done,, (atleast some of the time. obviously 2 in 5 days it was just m&ms for dinner)and heās got all his skills from trial-and-error and from watching the terribledaytime cooking shows that his dad watches, so heās not an Artisteā¢ but hispractical skills are off the wall. he can make a shockingly palatable meal outof nothing but convenience-store canned items, jakeās lunch leftovers, andgently-expired condiments. also he is a MASTER when it comes to Secret KitchenTricks (many of which were cannily passed down to him by a forward-thinking evabefore she disappeared). the only person who knows about these talents this iscassie. one time he called her and she was likeĀ āim SORRY marco im distractedby this bacon disaster, i just put the olive oil in and its all going wrongāand marcoās likeĀ āwell duh thereās your first problem. you dont FRY withOLIVE OIL cassie. thats why it SMOKES. use rice bran oil like the rest of usāand cassies like ???????? she never tells anyone bc she realises hes lowkeyembarrassed by the fact that heās developed this as an Adaptive Survival skill,and when hes a kid he plays it down like nbd, butĀ later on when he getsolder he starts to milk this talent for all itās worth. hes like hang onā¦. thisshit is VALUABLE. thatās when his true culinary talents can blossom
jake:Ā uworded this āwho sets pasta on fire regularlyā and my response to that is thatone (1) time jake did Not set the pasta on fire and it made marco cry realtears of joy. listen jake tries So Hard (because, in the spirit of being theUltimate Straight Ally Dadfriend and an All Round Decent Fella, heās lowkeyaware of his existence as a straight white guy and makes well-meaning attemptsto avoid hypermasculinic douchebaggery in domestic life. also heās probablythat disgustingly wholesome Hey Mom Do You Need Some Help In The Kitchen kindof kid) but when he tries its just. so bad. oh my god its so bad. heās onlyever tried like 3 ultra-basic Good Ol Classic American meals and every time hedoes its a crime against his culinary heritage. his brownies come out lopsided,, he putswildly incorrect ingredient volumes in,, he confuses salt for sugar,, somehownever manages to stir the cake mix properly,, tries to do taste tests like āi thinkit tastes ok??ā no it doesnt jake this gravy tastes like toxic waste,, withoutfail lets something catch on fire while heās squinting at the recipe trying tofigure out which step he was up to,,, its a mess. his family suffers through itnevertheless because they are Heroes. āt-tastess ā gre at,, llittleb uddyāpre-yeerk tom says once, with tears of anguish streaming from his eyes
rachel:Ā terriblecooking is a berenson gene and if rachel had survived the war marcoās talk showwould have included a nailbiting Reality TV segment where contestants sample amystery berenson dish and have to race to identify the Cousin of Origin beforefood poisoning sets in. this segment would have been discontinued after the 3rdhospitalisation and a food safety inquiry. in essence rachel is as terrible asjake but also worse because the constant failure pisses her off so much thatall of her concoctions are brewed with a terrible bitter malice. Fuck You,Pasta. You Deserve to Burn. also i think at some point in the series itmentions taht rachel tried being a vegetarian and i choose to believe this istrue and also that it is the point where things go from worst to worster.eventually even she has to admit sheās never gonna manage it and resorts tolike. deep-frying entire zucchinis or something
tobias:Ā uknow what?? im gonna say Not Terrible?? tobias is pretty creative and lbr idoubt his neglectful ass relatives were gonna cook for him. he probably pickedup some stuff from recipe books bc he liked reading through them (listen i cantcook for shit but even i get a kick out of lookin at food books bc goddamn??the aesthetic?? plus tobias was a book kid in general so) also if weāre runningwith the autistic tobias concept (its Canon, folks) i like the idea that as ahuman tobias couldve been hypersensitive esp. to tastes, so he was pretty goodat noticing when two flavours clashed and figuring out what stuff to puttogether to avoid that. (obviously he cant do this as a hawk but sometimes hewatches axās food choices and the twist of primal horror he experiences is acomforting reminder that some vestiges of his humanity remain). HOWEVER by thesame token he also doesnt strike me as the sort of Organised Efficient personwhoād be a really productive cooker. i might be self-projecting here but like,,have u ever tried to string together a series of practical tasks into an organisedsequence while in the kitchen,,, theres like 80 bowls and justt too manyutensils and timers goin off and u forgot to put the herbs in and u ran out ofbench space so u gotta try start washign up at the same time but meanwhile ugotta Coordinate all the cooking stuff really fast so u dont poison urself orstart a fire and then u lose focus zonin out thinkin about smth else u alreadymessed up the order of actions sso do u start again or just eat the garbage or??? look cooking is hard and i feel like tobias gets that. heās ok at it intheory but his application is shit. also hes a bird
cassie:Ā idsay sheās not a natural culinary prodigy but with lots of patient practicesheās become pretty decent. im not sure if its canon but for some reason imconvinced her dad is a really good cook?? meanwhile her mum is approachingberenson-level bad and DESPISES it. hooooo boy. (she and rachel bond overthis). this means her dad enlists cassie as Head Kitchen Assistant and teachesher the ropes, and she really quite enjoys it? preparing a meal is simple andpractical and instantly-gratifying in a way thats really calming, and she likesbeing able to spend time with her dad. also not to be sappy but one time theyhave rachel over for dinner and cassie and her dad are helping each other stirthe pot on the stove while her mum and rachel viciously chop vegetables andtoss carrot tops at them from across the kitchen as a protest against beingrelegated to washing-up duty, and afterwards cassie tries to make brownies but burnsthem atrociously and they gotta pick through the charred remains to find ediblebits and rachel says āHA whoās top of the Poisons Authority Watchlist now??ā¦dont answer thatā and thats. a really good night. cassie holds on to that. ALSOafter the war cassie pretends sheās a way worse cook than she actually is soshe has an excuse to invite marco over toĀ āāhelp herāā and get him doingsomething different. he never admits that it helps but she knows fromexperience it does
ax:Ā HOOO BOY HERE COMES THE WILDCARD. i was torn betweensayingĀ ātheres an intergalactic petition to establish a restraining orderbetween ax and Every Kitchenā andĀ āhe is a culinary TREASUREā but u knowwhat?? porque no los dos. ax around food is an unrestrained force of nature. this is a canonical fact. he gathers his flavours from the world around him (literally from the entire world around him, and from under him, and sometimes from the gutter to his left) AND im gonna say that despite his unconventional pantry choices hes actually,, not too bad at making flavours Work.Ā unfortunately since he never has to occupy a human body for longer than 2 hours he has never had to work around the concept of āāfood poisoningāā and his talents would have gone to tragic waste,, had marco not stepped in to save the day. with the help of marcoās PRACTICALITY and hisĀ handy snippets of earth advice like āthe alfoil is aUTENSIL not an INGREDIENT what the FUCK AX how are u even CHEWING THATā axās raw talent is skilfully tamed. together they areunstoppable. They take out several team cooking shows on network tv,once because ax famously used the kitchenās set props as a garnish. Ax probablybriefly invests in a popup restaurant for the fun of it and meets with roaringcritical success before it is gently shut down by the well-meaning andhighly-entertained food safety authorities, on account of his questionableingredient choices.
