#i wonder if one of their moms made it

i went to the gym tonight after work and when i was coming back to my car, there were 3 young guys gathered around a truck bed, about to share a big tupperware full of what looked like homemade beans and corn. not quite chili, but you could definitely tell it was beans and something else chunky. it felt wholesome
#i didnt know if they were eating before or after their workout#it's kind of smart#i wonder if one of their moms made it#or if one of them looked up a recipe and made it for the others#they might have been high schoolers cause my gym has a program for high schoolers#for the summer

This was honestly my first thought when I saw Casey Jr. So…….Plot twist he is now their son.
#sometimes I wonder is this was intentional#Because he seems like their love child#even has the slicked back hair and a gapped tooth#(yes I am aware teeth imperfections are not genetic)#since the movie never showed Casey Jr’s full orgin#reality can be whatever i want#and I've made up a whole story in my mind where Casey Jr was a child of these two that somehow got#thrown into another dimension as a baby and was found by Cassandra#so Cassandra is still his mom but an adoptive one#rottmnt casey jr#tmnt#rise casey#rise casey jr#rottmnt#rise casey jones#2012 donnie#2012 donatello#tmnt 2012#tmnt donatello#tmnt casey jones#tmnt crossover#2012 casey jones#jonatello#caseytello#rise of the tmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#casey jones

My brother died very suddenly yesterday.
He was the kind of person who always had dozens and dozens of friends everywhere he went because he was easy to talk to and funny and treated people with respect, and his friends ranged in class, race, age, social ability, introversion and extroversion--no matter who you were, he could and would befriend you.
He would scold me for not asking him for help when I needed it, and he would mean it. He taught me to tip well. He loved helping people. He played practical jokes on the new kids at work, including getting one guy to "chop flour" because the flour they had in the kitchen was "too coarse."
He introduced me to some of the best food I've ever eaten in my life. He would always help with a recipe that wasn't working. He would tell me what to buy my foodie friends for their birthdays, and he never got it wrong. He loved meat and whiskey but also wine and fruit and he got me to eat beets even because he knew how to make anything good.
Mostly, he thought that people were all deserving of respect and decency. He was outspoken on this. For all that his friends ranged across demographics, he didn't tolerate anyone being hateful around him. But even then, he was nice about it. He would try to get people to come around to his side. He saw the good in people.
And he was happy. He had finally quit chewing tobacco and managed to stay off it for three years. He had a girlfriend he really liked. The pandemic had put him out of work for over a year, but he was back at his job and doing well and he liked it. He was good at it. And it's complete bullshit that he's gone.
#when I think of him#it's him standing in the kitchen beckoning me over to taste the best duck I've ever had#duck that was catering for a special party#but he knew I was around so he saved me bites of all this spectacular expensive food he made#or it's him driving me to the library after our mom died#and I couldn't figure out how to complete a school assignment#and he picked me up and told me I could always ask him for help#or him telling me my car sucked#and when I asked him why he said he wants a car that can go fast#and I told him that wasn't important to me at all#and his attitude changed entirely and he was like oh then I guess your car is great for you then#or just how much he loved his nieces#no uncle has ever doted harder#or when I asked him what knives I should buy for my kitchen because I was tired of shitty ones#how seriously he considered the question#tw death#I guess#honestly he's the kind of person who is so good with other people I always wondered why he bothered with someone like me#a thought that hurt his feelings every time#he was my big brother and that's all there was to it

playing Fire Emblem Engage and Alear is so stupid, I love them
"but if the fell dragon is my father, why would Lumera claim to be my mother?" Alear sweetie most people have one father and one mother. that's often how it works
#fire emblem#fire emblem engage#fe engage#alear#fe alear#like I gather we're not actually going the “lumera had a steamy one night stand with somnol” route (pity)#but my first thought was not that lumera was lying just that she was omitting certain other details of alear's parentage#to be fair to alear most of the royals they meet also seem to have only 1 parent#so now I'm wondering if they genuinely do not know how babies are made#they overhear ivy and hortensia talking about their different moms are just like ??? but I thought you had a father???

i wish parenthood wasn't so strongly linked to marriage and romantic relationships. like, i know that it's possible to be a single parent by choice and i think i would be happy with that, but i do want companionship and a solid coparent. my ideal relationship is closer to, like, a close friend that i live with and raise children with and maybe have sex with without all the other... stuff. and of course i know that there are people out there that want the same things as me, but how do you go about finding them?
i want to be a mother so badly and the idea of that not happening for me is crushing.
#personal#aromantic#aro tag#amatonormativity#went through a breakup recently and i won't say it didn't suck#but i have felt so much peace knowing that i don't have the pressure to perform romance for someone anymore#knowing that im happier outside of a romantic relationship than in one has made me wonder if i have to give up on being a mom#idk maybe im getting too in my feelings about it#aroallo

Gotta love Grandma recipes. I want to make a Texas sheet cake for my birthday today she used to make all the time when I was a kid and I got the recipe from her and
No length of cook time. There's crisco, oleo, AND butter. The frosting calls for a 'box of powdered sugar' what ever that means.
I'm excited for the challenge. I think I know what I need to do. If not, grandma is getting a call.
#cooking stuff#im cross referencing with more modern recipes#i did legit buy a box of powdered suger...so hopefully its comparable but i have more powdered sugar if its too little#im also not using oleo. i have butter. and crisco i guess.#also i love my kind of one eyed tiny grandma#shes wonderful#she used to make this cake every week. and then it suspisciously stopped being made#around the time my mom got really fucking weird about my weight when i was around 6 or 7#i havent had it in years so im excited

Absolutely firehose blasting good vibes your way cheye!!! So happy and proud of you for pursuing the life you want even though it's hard. Manifesting cheysperity (cheye prosperity)
thank u! when me and my dad were breaking the news to my mom even he was telling her that he isn't thrilled about it either, but I've had so little Say over my life, all my life, that this needs to be something I can choose for myself for once...now I jst hope it actually all goes thru + happens ^_^
#🧿🧿🧿#skunk mail#Anonymous#i mean its more obvious what it is now i jst feel weird saying it outright bc i get nervous anyway#a few weeks ago i posted about hoping smthng happened bc the resulting turmoil wld be really funny in a universe lining up way#and it Did. so we had to tell my mom about it like one week before we go to my cousin's (my age) baby shower lmfao#ive never Upset my mom so i didnt know what to expect but she's fine now she just sulked and cried a bit day of#(unlike my dad who gives me week long silent treatment when he's mad)#i wonder though if she'll get riled up once the date of procedure comes closer since itll be rly Soon if it all goes well#hmmm lets see what else#i think i may have gotten to her bc i told her i cant even consider relationships if my body still has the ability to do All That#that if i do change my mind in the future (i wont) there is no shortage of single parents. ever.#and that the mere Hope of being able to go thru with this procedure has actually made me more open to bonding with my nephews#now that I know she won't be able to use those interactions as a weapon against my decisions ykwim

Can- can I ask about the Somali pirates?
Hi hi, Lili! Yes, of course. Tbh I shouldn't have called them "pirates" they are known as such and treated like villains, but they're more like unofficial naval guard! The official naval guard was disbanded in the 90's due to the civil war that broke out [btw this civil war is why I'm diaspora! My maternal family fled to Djibouti or elsewhere. My dad came to Canada due to it.] Anyway! Other nations took advantage of this as they tended to do and started fishing illegally in the waters! Somali citizens rely on fishing to live [also farming and agriculture bc I also recall there was a drought and famine going on] so they turned to "piracy" to stop these thieves from stealing from them! Of course, these outsiders didn't like it and called it "piracy." they shouldn't be there in the first place!!!
BFJRKRKRKR I TALKED IM THE TAGS AND REACHED THE LIMIT I AM SO SORRY LMAOOOOO
Other than Puntland there is also Jubbaland ok lol I love talking about my people's history too much
#momo's fantastical replies#so anyway I saw other Somali ppl calling them the naval guard and jumped on it#but I have always gotten heated when ppl treated Somali Pirates like villains#but iirc even South Park defended them? lol they even got ppl speaking Somali in it!#talking about how they did this for survival!#lili#lixenn#also yeah sure they fuck ppl up but I consider this a 'fuck around and find out'#stop taking advantage of poor countries!!! especially when they are due to outside meddling forces!!#random but somalia makes me so sad bc of how destablized it is#somaliland is a lot more peaceful and has been but recently its gotten more dangerous due to#Somalia's destablization#djibouti seems fine as ever tho lol happy for them but wish somalia would fuck off already [with somaliland]#lili if you are wondering djibouti/somalia/somaliland and parts of kenya and ethiopoa#ethiopia* are all where Somali ppl are from#the parts of K and E were stolen while Somali ppl were getting colonized [so fuck Kenya and Ethiopia too tbh! who does that?]#but all 5 places are why Somalia's flag is a 5 point star! this siginifies we are all one#its funny bc Somaliland was a country before Somalia but then joined Somalia bc of false promises Somalia made#anyway the false promises was unity but the president/dictator named Mohamed Siad Barre#was all 'we should all band together...and kill Isaaq tribe! true unity after for real though'#and then Darood and I a few other major tribes tried that#Isaaq survived but there was in fact a genocide#they fled to what is Somaliland today! apparently they keep the bullet holes in the structure to remember what Darood/Somalia did#bc to these day these bitches deny it#diaspora somali ppl from somalia are especially insistend of this and im like...you stupid puppet you werent even there#I know this despite being Darood bc my parents arent puppets and also my mom is Isaaq tribe#what else? oh there are other places as Somali ppl within Africa become disapora#so strange right?#there is also Puntland [based off the ancient land that is said to be Ancient Somalia--#fun fact our queen from that time named Queen Arrarwelo was said to be friends with Queen Sheba of ancient Ethiopia]

I'm going to a DCI show tomorrow for marching band bc we do an annual field trip for it, and there was this shirt i wanted from last year's performance that I never managed to get ahold of and now that it's been a year since the tour it's been marked down to $10 :3
I am very happy
#the shirt saga was interesting#basically i didn't have time to buy it from the tent while we were there and then by the time i checked the website it was sold out#but then it got restocked#and i asked for it for christmas#and my dad commented on it bc i dont ask for shirts so i figured id get it#but no#do then i figured birthday since its a few months later#also no#and then i stopped checking#but its marked down now!!!#im gonna buy it#i told myself (and my mom) that id get ahold of it one way or another#and i will succeed#if anyone is wondering which one its the 2023 wyoming troopers lasso the sun tour one#bc that was my personal favorite performance that i got to see#i am not from wyoming#but it was awesome and i think they deserved to win more that the band that did bc they made significantly less mistakes and#had a more cohesive theme#bonus points it reminded me of hnoc by the mechs#bc sun imagery and wild west theme#if you want to watch a version its on youtube on the 2023 troopers drum and bugle corps debut at 1:15:55#although the colorguard has a few mistakes on that video#but the one i saw was *chefs kiss*#potat rambles#marching band#band#potat's band chronicles

Rose shouldn't be trapped in her room, unable to go explore the house.
What is going on out there???
#how did so many roses get here anyway?? ectobiology cloning gone wrong?#I wonder what mom will think of this#this one might be one of the highest tier edits I've made#if you see the sprites clipping; no you don't#ill upload tiny Rose as a sprite rip in a bit; just very tired lately#I'll probably just mass upload my edits & rips before going back home in about a week or so#I got tired after making it to the first corner & just kinda bunched a ton of them together & pasted it everywhere#little peak behind the editing curtain for ya there 🔮 layer merging & copy pasting layers#rosewheresheshouldntbe#rose lalonde#homestuck#originals

recently I've been seeing a shit ton of discourse about Princess Bubblegum on twt and how some people kinda view her as some sort of irredeemable bitch who does not deserve to be treated kindly by marceline or anyone and like,,,though couple of pb's actions are certainly morally questionable at best and outright unethical at worst,, people must know that adventure time has like 10 main seasons worth of pb character plot right? and like,,,doesn't the whole "we were messed-up kids who taught ourselves how to live" verse from the monster song like literally sum up why PB was the way she was until she decided to outgrow that-
#like i dunno isnt the whole point with like the adventure time main 3 (marcy bonnie and finn)#them learning how to live in the midst of isolation in a literal apocalypse-#like i dunno i havent even watched the entirety of adventure time but isnt that like a legit point the show made#which is why at the start of the show all 3 were kinda in weird places cause who else would teach them a solid moral code#who else would teach them to grow up at the start but themselves?#(i mean finn had jake and marcy had her mom and simon but still like u get what i mean)#its even worse on bubblegum's side like sHE HAD NOBODY SO NO WONDER SHE VIEWS CANDY PEOPLE AS THE LITERAL SIMS#and it is only with the help of her friends does she learn to like kinda deconstruct her micromanagerial dictatorial ways so like-#i DUNNO THE PB TWITTER DISCOURSE IS ANNOYING ME KASI LIKE MOST OF THE CLIPS THEY SHIT ON#R OUT OF CONTEXT#But anyways i'll save my 'PB is one of adventure time's most morally questionable characters aND THATS THE POINT' essay for another day#adventure time#princess bubblegum#marceline abadeer#but then again i cant like really fully defend pb with a fucking powerpoint and everything cause i havent watched the entirety of AT yet#so ummm save the debates for another reblog my dudes 😭

Beryl team concept.....Chat I think I'm cooking.
#so real talk. all this time i was afraid of giving someone the red Gyarados.#bc it would overlap with the already existing water types#and truthfully i think lance is an equal candidate for the thing as Beryl so depending on how things go#the Gyarados may or may not stay#that being said i'm much more comfortable giving it to Beryl now. why?#bc i'm once again learning the lesson that a pokemon team doesn't have to be balanced#so yeah i can give Beryl more than one water type LMAO#ALSO THE UMBREON#was gonna give it to silver so him and Kenji can be cute but eh. i wasn't vibing with it#also originally Beryl had the thing soooooo#giving Beryl the Umbreon made me realize a theme: beryl seems to like tanky pokemon#so i decided to just fully lean into that and give them a fucking blissey#which is a good tie in to their mom i think#if ur wondering where suicune is. its Still there. i just gave beryl six pokemon lol#if red Gyarados comes goes to Lance then it will replace it#OKAY RAMBLE OVER#oc: Beryl Jewel
