for no apparent reason, rt unprivated the complete season edits of red vs blue on youtube after privating them in september of last year. the downside to this is that they're now paywalled (excluding season 1), despite initially being free for years?????

as i was going to the channel to take these screenshots, i saw the very first episode of camp camp was reuploaded by them after that series was taken down around the same time rvb was. so, i checked the playlist of episodes to see that most of them have also been paywalled?????????

For my fellow Bionicle Enthusiasts

In response to your kind words and wonderful support on my most recent creation, I have decide that it's time I come back to the building community!

So far I've not finished my current project, but my intentions towards my future builds and my desires for this particular series will be shown off in due time. I've always excelled at Toa builds of various sizes, but even now I've out-done my prior works with my two latest creations: A Toa of Fire, and a Toa of Wind.

Details on each to be revealed soon, but for now I will rest because even these two took DAYS to completely get correct according to my vision.

And even now my brain is spiraling out of control with creative energy.

For now though, Images with no context. Enjoy.

It happened.

It's what they wanted.

And they got it.

I watched the New Norm.

I was triggered.

There's one (1) joke.

It's not:

"Nonbinary people exist"

Or

"People think they're nonbinary but they truly aren't."

The joke is

"Nonbinary people are evil."

That's it.

That's the show.

It's about a nonbinary teen Dave Rubin sent to seduce a neighborhood into also being nonbinary.

It's just 5 minutes of "Queers are coming for your kids and possibly your football."

I'm not joking.

Watch it if you can stomach it.

Anyone who has this shit, thankyou, it makes it so much easier to know I don't want you seeing my blog.

sure has been a week

[negansbestie]

It's a bitter, dark night. What just happened in the congress makes me feel angry, anxious about the future and hopeless. People voted not once but THREE times for this dictatorship-loving president and he's slowly but surely taking away our rights, our nature, our future. I'm truly so, so sad, I need to wake up from this nightmare.

I keep thinking about this frog, I do not have the words to explain the existential fear it fills me with.

I genuinely feel guilty when I think about forgetting Ralph.

Delightful Dining

Bardish Roasthouses, In Brief

Hey folks! Managed to squeeze this bit of Worldbuilding out, just about. Hope you like it!

Tagging @athenswrites @theprissythumbelina @hessdalen-globe @caxycreations @thatndginger @username-cause-i-need-one

The Practice

The Bardish Roasthouse is a form of dining establishment commonly found in the urban centres of the Republic of Bardin. As the name would suggest, they primarily serve large portions of various forms of roast meat, commonly lamb, beef, and chicken, accompanied by assorted dishes unique to each individual House.

Roasthouses are primarily communal establishments, catering to large groups of diners. Their basic configuration centers on an 'island', where the large pillars of meat roast on spits while displayed to diners arrayed around them. Low tables surround the island, which can fit half a dozen or more, seated on cushions or the lavish carpeting. Rice, stewed vegetables, and rich pastries are common accompaniments to the meat, though more exotic dishes are served by some less orthodox Houses.

The History

A stable fixture of the modern Bardish culinary scene, the Roasthouse is the product of a long tradition of communal dining dating back centuries, well before the earliest historical records of the region were made. It is thought that they are an evolution of the practices of the once nomadic forebears of Bardin, who lived off the land as they drifted across the region and relied on shared cooking utensils and equipment. Having settled down to form their numerous city states across the North Alphanian coast, many of their practices were adapted to suit more sedentary lifestyles.

The Roasthouse was one such adaptation, providing a fixed location for a community to gather and feast. And yet, while the basic communal spirit of dining remained a key element of the Roasthouse 'experience', some such establishments would take on a different role in the rapidly changing social fabric of Bardish life and society.

As the region's commercial interests and political machines both rapidly expanded, many Roasthouses began to cater exclusively to these upper crusts of society, with prices to match. They became a comfortable place to settle matters of business, and a confidential one for the countless political movers and shakers vying for the chance to shape the course of the land. Such establishments would gain an air of mystery to them, surviving even the formation of the Republic and unification of the realm to continue serving these special customers.

Because of this, many Roasthouses would never entirely shake off their association with shady dealings and unseemly practices. A number of famous Bardish commercial and political scandals have featured private Roasthouse dealings prominently, occasionally leading to calls for their investigation. However, as the general quality of life of the Bardish citizenry continues to stay fairly well off, the institution of the Roasthouse has again opened itself to all comers, and has remained a major element in that society's rich social fabric.

The Manners

Probably the most curious aspect of the most traditional Roasthouse experience comes with the cutlery, or lack thereof. Aside from the region's common practice of dining with hands, it is often expected that diners will come to the table with their own sets of cutlery. Such items often serve as an excuse to display one's wealth and taste to their peers, or act as identifying symbols connected to various regions, organisations, or professions. For a commonly subdued society, this practise is often seen by foreigners as an unusually ostentatious display.
