the hard cider options in South Dakota are killing me
(it's basically Angry Orchard or Redd's. this is not a hard cider part of the country, which is something of a shock to my system after having lived in two apple-producing states that have a lot of local hard ciders. and I am a hard cider drinker! I don't like wine so I also sub hard cider for wine when cooking (which, like, Angry Orchard is fine for that, but it's the most basic hard cider out there). also it's illegal to ship cider direct to consumer in South Dakota so I can't even order it. sometimes state-by-state laws are bad actually!)
#if I move over the iowa border I could get it shipped in...#wait. do I know anyone who lives in sioux city and commutes. I don't but I probably know someone who does.#I guess I can try my fave's non-alcoholic options since those are legal to ship into south dakota#by the way the times I've shopped in sioux city were genuinely more dire in the hard cider area than in south dakota#no options AT ALL but plenty of every other kind of alcohol#(but it's over the state line so it's legal to ship cider in)#here there's one store that has two options that aren't angry orchard or redd's#your girl

We see him come and know him ours
Russia: "Carol of the Russian Children," traditional // Kenya: The Nativity, Elima Njau // France: "Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella," Nicolas Saboly // Haiti: Madonna and Child, Ismael Saincilus // Australia: "The Three Drovers," William James // China: Tryptic by Lu Hongnian // Canadian/Algonquian: "Huron Carol," Jean de Brébeuf
#the visual depictions are lovely#but what really gets me every time are the little cultural details in the music#music that tells the story of the Nativity while placing it in a world that's familiar to the listener#fur robed moujiks on snowboard plateaus in place of middle eastern shepherds#bark lodges instead of stables and rabbit skin in place of swaddling clothes#wandering hunter and chiefs from far off places instead of shepherds and wise men (man i love the Huron Carol)#and little french girls running to gather the village to come see Jesus#it's easy for an excess of historical concern to make Jesus feel distant and far off#/I know/ that Jesus was born in the ancient near east and have had my fill of books and sermons and the like unpacking the implications#I've laughed with my friends and family at the wild inaccuracies of Nativity sets and tellings#the crazy blonde mary in the kids nativity set at Walmart#what is that alpaca doing at the living Nativity don't they know those are south American?#yada yada#and then i look at these carols and think. it's okay not to get mired in the history. good even#yes Jesus entered into time and space in a very specific manner#but he also came for all of us#as another carol says: we see him come and know him ours#i just think this practice is lovely#that the impact of the Incarnation was such that it send little french girls running to their villages#and drew algonquin hunters and russian peasants to the manger to see him#it's the great crowd of witnesses in a way#all of us together preparing him room throughout all the corners of the earth#in Bethlehem that night it was only the shepherds who got to see him#but in spirit it was all of us#because it's just like the angel said:#good news of great joy which will be to all people#to all people#starting with the shepherds and going out to all the earth#unto us a child is born#intertextuality

do you ever feel like people only like chick-fil-a so much because they're not supposed to
#i've only had their food like twice in my life (for the longest time i didn't live close to one)#like i don't get it#text post#i don't see ppl talk so fondly about other fast food restaurants in the same way#well i mean sometimes. some people do. if they're genuinely like fond of one for some specific personal reason#but like the certain endearment it's just normal to express about chick-fil-a... i don't get it!!#and im just supposed to grit my teeth and not bring the word 'homophobia' into it#again im not like accustomed to their food admittedly but the few times ive had it. its NOT that great#maybe this is also a northeastern thing for me. maybe it's different where u grow up#i see more locations near me popping up nowadays but perhaps if u live in the south it felt more like your upbringing#idfk. i know i'm not spouting an unpopular opinion on tumblr by saying Chick-fil-A Bad#but when i see normies where i live being excited about new locations popping up im like. hm. well we all know right...#ur fine w sending this message to your queer friends and family? ....... ok#yeah go get that disrespectful ass lemonade then

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention yet how Cartman used Kenny to manipulate Butters into investing. He knows damn well that Kenny is Butters' weakness.
#south park#sp bunny#eric cartman#kenny mccormick#butters stotch#jokes about breakup angst aside I really don't see how this episode had a negative impact on bunny?#kenny follows cartman's lead for nice things all the time#he eats pop tarts for dinner and lives in a crack den he'll do anything for a taste of luxury#and butters was obviously aware that cartman was the one manipulating him and stealing his money#which is why his rage and revenge were pretty much entirely focused on cartman#kenny is still best boy in butters' eyes and kenny still has a big soft spot for butters

#im fine for the record. where i live is fine this time#its all in the south where my family lives but so far theyre also fine#just nervous lol. things have been going really well for me. do not fuck this by flooding my mommy

Recent game related things .. hrmm...
#I do like the inconsistency of the first map. that is actually something older but that I re-found and added to my Game Reference stuff#so that when characters reference where they're from I can be accurate. I like that the whole map is kind of shifted up that way. Where the#actual south part doesnt even count as the south since its Too Far and Scary lol. and if you say you're from 'the north' thats basically#like.. one single continent. Though some people do make distinctions like 'north midlands' or etc. still. I like the ways that common#language isn't always precisely accurate like that. and thinking about why a culture would classify things a certain way or etc. etc.#The inventory page is so funny to me because it's literally just the BASe like.. sample layout just to make sure it works properly with 0#actual design into it. just colored rectangles thrown together in MS paint. but what if I like... left it like that.. what if all the other#art in the game and UI is like stylized and fully matching BUT the inventory/journal/etc. screens I just left as plain colored blocks#with random misalignments and black spots and etc gjhbhjj... It looks unfinished in a Funny Contrast way to me.#the wordcounts are just like... my past few days of writing.. I am still not getting 2200 words a day done or whatever I needed. I'm lucky#if it's even half of that .... tee hee.. :3c I do also keep having appointments and other things going on but..grrr...#The full map of the area is probably not necessary but I thought it would be more realisitc if people were able to reference things. Like i#you have people all living in a city area probably at some point someone might mention a neighboring city or some landmark nearby#or etc. so I thought having at least the basic names of what's around for reference would be sensible. A side character mentioning#'oh yeah I don't live here full time I just travel from Marisene sometimes' or whatever makes it seem more like a Real#Fleshed Out Place than people just making vague references like 'the river' or 'i come from a city nearby' or 'i went to a place somewhere#around here' or 'the other city' or etc. lol.. Especially since global cities/global areas are weird as they operate almost like an#independent country within their walls. so it's like a micro country inside of another country usually. just plopped down in some agreed#upon plot of land that won't be too disruptive to the main country around it. That could get very complex depending on the cultural and#political backdrop of where they're placed (though obviously they try to choose the 'easiest' areas possible for it). Asen is a very mild#country without much history of conflict or anything so it's fine. But still interesting that Sifeh and the entire branched out global area#border three other districts of Asen. Which means like 3 times the local representitives you'l have to negotiate with for some major change#or anything. I think one of the 'random characters you can find around the world and have short discussions with just to make the area#feel more populated and real even though theyre not actual important npcs' is going to be a guy who actually serves on the council that#handles running the global areas and he's like.. some perpetually exhausted middle aged elf running around with a clipboard or whatever#ANYWAY...... hrgh... still trying to write when I can....#I WISH so badly that I had the scope for a simple character creation menu and all character interactions would allot for the background#of your player character. And also to have a simple day night cycle where places in the world you explore/people you talk to during the day#have new options or dialogue at night.. BUT alas... I already am so behind on everything as is lol.. aughhh... T o T#As the worlds number one Needless Detail And Complexity Enjoyer i must dilligently prevent myself from adding additional complexity

“The basement [at Nellcôte] was like a labyrinth of concrete and brick cubicles - not really separate rooms, more like stables, stalls. Charlie's round the corner in the second cubicle on the left, Bill's over there in that one, someone else is under the staircase. I could see Charlie’s left hand flicking away. I would never rely on headphones; as long as I could see that I knew that we were in time.”
Keith Richards, 2001
#every memory he shares of exile is like this#‘Charlie left for the weekend - I was emo’#‘Charlie was so cool - he didn’t want to live in the south’#‘Charlie was experimenting - it was the best time of my life’#‘Charlie’s left hand - I must see it at all times his limbs are so important to me’#do you even remember the album Keith?#the rolling stones#charlie watts#keith richards#old married band#quote#bill wyman

it's so crazy when I hear ppl who live in other places talk about how in the summer the sun won't set until after 8 PM..... like what do you mean there are places where dawn isn't invariably 6 AM and dusk 6 PM. anyway just #living in the equator things I guess.
#listen I LEARNED ABOUT IT IN SCHOOL OK. it still feels crazy#and other places in brazil do have the time variation with sunrise and sunset it just doesn't happen where i live#bc it is literally just south of the equator so dawn and dusk are at the same time all year

And not that it's actually going to stop anyone from coming for me I guess, but like. Not voting in the US this election cycle because of your disgust at the handling of the Palestinian genocide by the US government isn't actually the Great Big Political Statement Of Solidarity you think it is
What it is, is apathy. No I'm not naïve enough to believe that voting blue absolves me of the crimes committed by my country on the word of a bunch of out of touch oligarchs. But not voting doesn't actually absolve us of any of that either, and it only materially makes things worse for everybody, locally and globally, when we allow our political apathy to keep us from Working Towards Better outcomes
#in other words don't listen to the Russian bots 2 electric boogaloo#if you live in a country with elections please vote#there's caveats to this sentence but like safely 98% of my audience lives in North or South America somewhere#and there's a really really high percentage of countries with (arguably fair and free) elections and like#if you live in the non global South i frankly think you have a responsibility to vote at a care fucking minimum and especially in the US#I'm not gonna be able to make this brief and concise#just#fuck man if someone is busy telling you that voting is useless they have an agenda and not voting plays into that agenda#do you really want to enact someone else's unnamed and potentially awful agenda all because you're in your feelings about voting#I'm in my feelings about voting but that doesn't mean i stop doing it#it means i do more like calling and emailing representatives when i can and putting money and time where i believe it belongs#when i can afford the energy for the other#it's creating a culture of mutual aid in my friend circles#and curating a world where voting is simply one task like when you have to pay your registration#it's a part of the process of being an adult with autonomous thought but it's never where we Finish actually#it's the beginning of the conversation with the people that are supposed to 'represent' me#fuck my entire point is you're better off voting because at least then you've said your piece one way that isn't existential Twitter thread#and how many existential Twitter threads have changed anything ever anywhere?#I'd hazard to guess it's not very many

Wow I love asshole gay people (things have ALIGNED in the ASTRAL PLANE and Pav is WATCHING SOMETHING?? 🤯)
#Yeah it’s the scott pilgrim anime adaptation~#I actually did see the film originally when I was like nine? I enjoyed the nerd vibes and completely missed ALL the subtext lmao#It was also one of my first experiences of Canada as a concept other than South Park (especially the SP Bigger Longer and Uncut film#which I ALSO was certainly too young for)#It’s kind of funny now having a friend who is actually from the mythical land of Canada 😂 Hi V#BUT ANYWAYS THIS ADAPTATION IS GREAT#Yeah it went bonkers off the rails but I’ve told you guys I LOVE it when the plot feels like it’s just snorted 30 grams of cocaine#Episode 5 is going to live in my head forever. I was howling. Mock documentaries are already a fav trope but that was on another level#I love Wallace too. Homosexual icon. I really do have a soft spot for asses with a charming veneer to them#It’s what I love so much abt soren fe too#I have yet to see how Inigo will spell himself out on the page but I think he’s mellowed out compared to his roots#His game needs some more spice. character. nuance. You don’t quite get it in wafty daydreams 🤔#But from one tangent to another: I swear the next batch of head children whenever they come NEED to have just the silliest of times#YHNN was kind of locked in from the start— the inspiration was THE tragic musically-inclined anime of all time#And younger me just had some strange fascination with suffering and dystopia. So Sad LadsTM it was#But crack-fic is my thing and boy do I want it in my house. carnally#just pav things#Sry for disappearing for 4 days I forgot I actually have to reblog stuff on here 😅😂 I’m alive.

i don't mean to complain about free food because i am grateful to be eating but the problem with thanksgiving is that 1000000 churches wanna give us canned goods but nobody can give us any perishables. which is fine, i understand the difficulty in both obtaining and passing out perishables, but we quite LITERALLY have over 30 cans of green beans and corn combined and almost no meat to eat with them. like 1 frozen chicken breast (this did come from a food bank to be fair), a pack of bacon, and a kielbasa. this is nobody's fault and i'm not ungrateful or mad about it or anything. but it is a hilarious situation to be in. we're quite literally giving out canned veggies to every friend and family member we know simply bc we don't have room for them all. we gave a bunch to my mom's church last week and then today she came home from church with a box of food they gave out to the less fortunate of their congregation and can you guess what was inside. those very same green beans. does anyone want some. can i email them to you
#personal#we can go to the store and get some stuff to eat with it since we'll have a little ebt leftover but like#there's no way we eat 20 cans of green beans before they expire#and we do have to keep hitting foodbanks when they're available bc of the price of groceries unless we want to live on green beans alone#so the next time we go we will get: EVEN MORE green beans and corn#i love green beans and corn as much as the next accursed south carolinian but all human beings have limits#it's like those people who grow zucchini who can't get rid of it fast enough#the green beans are multiplying on their own#the tribbles of donated foodstuffs
