thing about deltora quest that only occurred to me in hindsight is not only just how much jasmine carries the entire party on this quest but also how genre-defyingly brutal she is lol. like, this is a kid's series that hinges on riddles and puzzles far more heavily than combat - even when deaths occur, they're often the result of cleverness in some way rather than straight up combat ability. that said, let's look at the villain kill count at the end of book five of eight of the first series:
- lief: 1 - even there it's with a well-thrown bottle of cursed water rather than his sword.
- barda: 0 - i'm not counting that one unnamed sand beast, that's an animal not a villain.
- filli: 0 - he is a squirrel, this is unsurprising.
- kree: 1 - killed an invincible sorceress all by himself, good bird best friend.
- jasmine: 5 - dropped a tree branch on a mf, drowned two cannibals in quicksand, cut a giant snake's throat, shoved a dude down a pipe full of toxic mold (after having to be told not to cut his throat while he slept jfc).
idk it just suddenly struck me as really funny how this one character who isn't the protagonist is almost from a different, far more brutal story, and uses that fact to consistently be the mvp and save everyone else's asses. i need to read this series again it's been too long.
#lief: i am the hero. it's me. also i have never used a sword before like yesterday but i Won't Let That Stop Me!#barda: i am a big strong man. everything we actually fight is bigger than me tho so mostly i contribute worldly wisdom and life experience.#jasmine: I Raised Myself In The Woods Alone I Can Talk To Trees I Will Cut A Bitch Without A Moment's Hesitation I Carry Two Live Animals#Because They're My Friends And Ten Thousand Dollars Because They're Shiny I Met These Two While I Was Rolling Them For Loose Valuables#one of the characters of all time ms rodda i owe you my childhood#deltora quest

Had another person on bluesky reply to my post about Echo's mischief from yesterday with just "google impact crate".
Like wow. Thanks 🙄
#barkin up some trees#yes i KNOW about impact crates actually thank you#i also know they are WILDLY out of my budget#but like also i am hardly ever away from the house without the dogs for as long as i was yesterday#i largely work from home and i dont really leave my house for hours and hours very often at all#so even if i could afford one i really cannot justify the price#so she chewed up a sock i have had for years and some playing cards#nbd#easily replaceable#she isnt destroying my couch or my walls or my tv or something#so im not gonna go spend hundreds of dollars on a crate that will hardly be used to spare my dirty socks#the intention is good i do recognize that#but the delivery was a little rude??#but also i wasnt asking for advice!!#i was just posting about my dog and her very minorly naughty deed#at no point did i ask for help

So crazy and insane and evil that the most uniquely delicious gummy candy ever is something I can only find at mexican party stores on an unreliable basis
you do not understand. The flavor. They don't really actually taste like citrus? They don't even taste like any other gummy I've ever had. The taste almost reminds me of... jello somehow? Or those weirdly delicious vitamin gummies? Fuck. They're fucking good. And I can't find that taste anywhere else. idk what they're even called past "orange slice gummies". No they taste nothing like these
these make my mouth sting and stick to my teeth and very heavily taste like oranges. completely different candy. a false god. do u get me
#I am very autistic about candy#not in like an “I know how they're made and the history” way but like#I'm very particular about candies and have very specific tastes and like 95% of candy makes my stomach hurt#because for some reason my stomach doesn't like something about the like sugar content or whatever idfk#I think it's because although I love candy I don't eat it often bc I only like eating the specific ones I like#which are not exactly easy to find at least in a “I'm at the dollar tree or a regular grocery store” sense#does not help that we don't have a dedicated candy store here#so I've eaten so little candy as an adult that after like two sour gummy worms my stomach starts to hurt#kind of like how sushi hurt my stomach for most of my life#bc it was so different from what I usually ate that I had to slowly get used to it and after a few years I can eat it without stomach hurty#except the other way bc I slowly stopped eating candy regularly so now most candies hurt my stomach#autism has a fascinating effect on the way your body reacts to new food lemme tell you

I got my title back baybeeeeee
literally just making this post to celebrate my younger sister consistently using her old nickname for me for several months
#yes the nickname is sissy#she used up till she was like 6 or 7 and then nada#like there were several years where communication was so limited she didn't even use my name#but I unlocked sissy in 2024#generally over text but sometimes when we're facetiming#the warm fuzzies when my younger sister uses the card on my account and just randomly texts me “thanks sissy”#like of course I will make sure you are ok#but also girl how tf did you spend $48 at dollar tree?#Imma still pay the bill I am just confusion

if it's possible, could you recommend some other cooking/food related youtubers that are also at least normal about cheap ingredients? for personal reasons.
alas, i'm afraid i don't know any; i am only an occasional youtube watcher and the like, three other cooking ones i've watched with any regularity (as well as the various ones i've watched once or twice) are more fancier and/or experimental (but with fancy equipment). mythical kitchen stands out to me specifically bcos of this difference.
#of mythical kitchen stuff the dollar tree or 99 cent or whatever challenges are where i go for this mostly. imposter chef also.#oh and the busting cooking myths videos they do#the 'chefs cook x dish in x minutes' can vary which makes sense i guess bcos different dishes#the expensive fast food & food crimes ones are more for the weird fancy experimental stuff but like half their content is more regular#sorry that i can't be more help! it is something i appreciate seeing but not something i am specially good at finding.

Dollar tree cashier, seeing me buy 5 pairs of black flip flops: oh, are these sandals good?
Me, absolutely not buying them for their intended purpose: only if you're wearing them from the edge of the pool to the locker room.
#chit chat#i am not buying them because they are good i am buying them because they are $1.25 and i need to glue a stack of them together#altho tbh back in 2017 i bought some dollar tree flip flops to wear in the communal showers and they lasted 2 years#absolutely do not expect anything like that nowadays

Making the felt effigy ground to a halt bc the pattern I made for the body was significantly too small and I have immediately resorted to cutting fabric and being optimistic
#mort.txt#using my childhood stuffed animal as a base for this bc naturally. the thing i slept with for 20yrs is the most comfortable object to exist#i also decided i am not paying 20$ for plastic beads to give it floppy bean bag feet so i went to dollar tree and got vase fill gravel#i want it to be weighted so this works out better anyway it'll be roughly 3lbs#ill sew little pouches to store them inside the body so it doesn't explode when my dog shit seam work gives out#it'll be fine. the last stuffed animal i made survived the washing machine

It is entirely possible. That I might be going. Just a tad overboard with this cosplay project. That I do not even know if it’s going to work.
#ramblings#I am in CRUNCH MODE#also. I saved so much money at joann I thought I was going to go way over the amount I spent I’m so pleased#and almost all of the baubles in the yellow bag are from dollar tree!!! ahh!!!
