#how to chop an onion

[thegothicviking]

I agree with Flake that this should have been on Rosenrot instead....makes me cry everytime!

@marimayscarlett if you haven't listened to this already...

Edit: here are one with the lyrics (a much earlier upload) in both german and translated to english (but the quality is much worse so I suggest you mute this one and play the one above on top of it/in the background to sync with the lyric video!)

Avatars of the eye cam be defeated by chopped onions

you become an avatar of the eye, but at what cost? the cost is you get sniped every time you try to make a nice dinner.

okay cool i see many of us are talking about the scene where annabeth gets rooted down in the fields of asphodel and we all wanna know what she regrets so much so here’s my two cents on what i thought it meant

the obvious answer is thalia, thinking that she could have saved her (even though she was seven. annabeth has always been an overachiever with impossibly high standards for herself we all know this). but i think it goes deeper than that. i think it’s about her worldview and relationship to the gods. let me explain.

annabeth has worked with the gods’ system for Years. she followed all the rules and fought for kleos and became head counselor at the age of TWELVE. she wants so badly to be recognized and seen by her mom, and i’m so glad she uses her yankees cap as often as she does because it really shows that she treasures this one gift from athena. and then percy shows up.

and he’s impertinent. and angry. and does not give a single shit about what the gods expect or want. openly shit-talks his father. and yet, when he’s in danger poseidon comes for him. meanwhile athena LET ECHIDNA INTO HER TEMPLE AND LEFT ANNABETH TO DIE DUE TO SOMEONE ELSE’S ACTIONS. and suddenly, annabeth feels all her efforts to be the perfect demigod daughter crumbling while percy ‘pay your fucking child support’ jackson gets not only acknowledgement but his father but aid for all three of them. she tells hephaestus as much: percy isn’t like the rest of them, he’s better than that. and she doesn’t want to be like them either. and think about it: that turns her Whole Worldview on its head

she never saw herself as deserving of her mother’s attention, even if she craved it. she believes love is transactional, and now she’s learning it doesn’t have to be. and that’s a Lot to process in such a short amount of time— realizing that all that time, effort, and energy, all those pieces of herself, that she gave to the gods were useless. that so much of her life was wasted on the gods’ fucked up cycle of neglect. it’s HARD to look back and realize “i deserved better,” and regret putting up with it all

it’s even harder to realize someone else deserved better. in the beginning. of the series, annabeth saw thalia’s fate as an honorable, even enviable, one. a hero’s fate. dying in battle, for glory, and having a god intervene in the moment of your death. i think she sees that very differently now. i think she realizes just how cruel zeus and the world were to thalia, and how fucked it was that she idolized thalia’s “hero’s fate”

and guess what! percy’s worldview only really started making an impression on her like . three days ago. she probably feels so much guilt on TOP of all this regret and anger, because it takes a long time to break out of mindsets like hers. she hasn’t deconstructed it all just yet, and in giving up her blind servitude to the gods and her mother, she’s probably struggling with the feeling that she’s not allowed to be angry, that she’s ungrateful, that she’s severely insulting them. i think this absolute tsunami of emotions is more than enough to bog her down in the fields of asphodel and would align with her character development as she starts seeing the gods for what they really are

(but what do i know, maybe this scene is just foreshadowing some crazy tv annabeth tragic backstory that we get to see later)

How do you like 'em Onions?

Inspired by that post I saw of Ghost chopping onions from @a-small-writer-in-a-big-world

Ghost looked down at the variation of onions that sat before him in various brown baskets at the supermarket.

How many types of onions...? He thought as he looked at the assortment of onions, different colours and shapes. He scanned the labels; shallots, white onion, red onion, spring onion, sweet onion, yellow onion... potato onion? He read one label and raised his brow. Ghost had always thought there was just one type of onion. Like there was one type of potato. (who's gonna tell him he's wrong...)

With his bare hands, he picked up two of each from the baskets and placed them in their food bags and took them to the checkout.

The lady behind the counter scanned the onions, giving Ghost an odd look as she passed them down the belt to where he stood, putting them in his shopping bag. He stared back plainly.

Was it the onions. Or was it him? he thought

"That's £7.68" The lady said "Cash or card"

"Cash" Ghost said, giving the lady a ten pound note.

With his change and onions in tow, Ghost left the supermarket and made his way back home.

Looking back, he wasn't sure how it started... This obsession with cutting onions.

But here he was, Monday afternoon, a bag filled with an array of onions on his way back to base. Everyone has their weird obsessions... This was his.

It started when Price was making fajitas, and chopping onions in the mini kitchen of the break room they shared. When Ghost walked in his eyes stung and it felt like a million needles where being stuck in them.

"The fuck is goin' on in here?" He said walking over to Price

"Chopping onions for fajitas" Price said as he wiped a few onion tears.

"Why they makin' you cry?" Ghost asked looking at Price, who looked back at his tears ruining is black paint over his eyes.

"Making you tear up too Simon" Price smirked returning to the knife on the board.

Ghost snorted and rubbed his fingers over his eyes, but Price was right. He felt droplets at his tear ducts.

Defeated by a fuckin' vegetable? Ghost thought

And it was from this day that Ghost vowed to never be submitted to the pain of onion tears, he made his new mission to begin chopping onions until his eyes stopped tearing up.

BEGGING americans to buy some kitchen scales. this was in the notes of a post saying how unhelpful it is for a recipe to measure onions in cups. what is going ON with you guys, tell me this is not how anyone actually measures things when cooking

i feel for Nicola it would be Loyalty or Want. Fear is also possible ... I didn't think Fear at first, but I do remember having thoughts re: that for her when I did my PTs with her a couple years back. Fear of losing what she had, fear of harm to her family, fear of losing Yakov and not being able to protect Kol and the rest of their friends.

Loyalty works bc she is quite Loyal and I always saw her as Team Dad [to Kol's Team Mom. Sorry Yakov, she's stealing that title]. But I didn't choose that because it doesn't strike me the way it strikes for Irvin, who both I see as RespnsibleTM. They both have a sense of 'I have to help/do more' and 'If I don't/it goes wrong, it's my fault'. But I feel think Irvin leans more the former and Nicola the latter. Like for Irvin, I think it's because he has this protective nature -- and Nicola. I mean she does to, but IDK.

So, I almost went with Want because she is studious and she Wants her dad safe a nd she Really Wants her old life [and she Wants Yakov lmao ;-D]. And, ofc, bc the stats work .... but thinking on fear .... hrm.

I made a chicken quesadilla from the ingredients at work and it's fucking delicious

[icicleteeth]

I don’t know if it’s like I accidentally made a character that’s so much like me or a Reprogramming My Brain moment but I stop myself from making so many posts about my day because I ask myself. Is it a little too far on the cringe scale to tag irl posts with honeycore 

[esleep]

i made korean tacos for dinner (no recipe just vibes + what i had in the fridge) and they were unbelievably delicious. my god.

[labyrynth]

i don’t feel like bothering some random person abt a comment from several months ago so can someone tell me what i’m missing here

unless everything is in relatable units, a cup is always different

a cup is always a cup tho;;;?? like based on the context it’s very obviously Cup (culinary unit of measurement). the cup IS the unit. what am i not getting here.
