wow I didn’t think reblogging that tea post and then seeing people’s tags would deal me such strong psychic damage. come over I can fix you I can find a tea you will like. “I don’t like tea” how can you say that as a blanket statement when there are so many vastly different kinds of tea. head in hands
#‘it’s like coffee but not good’#while a cup of black tea does have a great deal less caffeine in it than coffee#it also has a stimulant called l-theanine which is NOT found in coffee#and the more complex combination of the two stimulants hit your system much more slowly#which is why tea doesn’t give you jitters like coffee does#anyone who’s like wow I need my coffee to survive but I hate that it makes me nauseous and gives me heart palpitations and bad breath#to you I say. wean yourself off coffee and onto tea!!!!!!!#but WAIT I can keep going. nauseous? ginger tea. sore throat? peppermint contains menthol which works as a numbing agent#green and black teas are both very high in antioxidants#chamomile and lavender do both have a calming affect#BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TASTE I hear you say#IT TASTES LIKE GRASS. try a floral tea or a black tea or chai or Thai tea#ITS SO BITTER you’re either steeping it for too long or the water you’re using is too hot#not to sound like I’m fucking uncle iroh or something I just apparnerlt have strong thoughts and feelings about tea#I can’t handle ppl going ugh I hate tea and it’s like. overbrewed lipton in microwaved tap water.#anyway MY favorites are jasmine and lavender earl grey#and currently I’m really into this corn silk tea my brother bought me at h mart#it’s like gen mai cha but even more#congrats for making it this far into my tea rant tags. if you comment your tastes I can give you a personalized tea recommendation

hi everyone. i just watched spider man across the spider verse (for the first time) and here are my thoughts:
pavitr was amazing i would watch multiple movies about him i love him so much
he was also amazing for pointing out people who say "chai tea" and "naan bread"
pavitr is amazing
i like the punk dude (i low key ship them but only maybe i havnt seen what the fandom things of them yet)
i like the pavitr dude.
have i mentioned who my favorite character is? its pavitr prabhaker.
i may or may not become hyperfixated on spiderman (its like a right of passage for trans ppl)
the animation and art style was amazing and i might rewatch it not for the plot but just to enjoy/study the art
those are all my (atsv related) thoughts!
#i have other non atsv related thoughts dont worry#btw those thoughts are “akechi cool hehe” and “i like bagels”#spider man#spider man across the spider verse#pavitr prabhakar#atsv#a fucking hate the people who say “chai tea”#pavitr my beloved#<- im crying that popped up when i typed “pavitr” its that common#i mean its very valid and good that its common i love this dude so much

gang my mom just said naan bread I can’t
#Spider verse#Chai is tea bro#I tried to correct her but she got mad at me#“It’s a type of bread”#Like I’m aware mother but the word means bread you don’t need to say it twice#You don’t say brioche bread either#You just say brioche#Smh#to all parents#your children may have lived shorter than you but they’ve experienced more of life than you think#I’m aware that sentiment isn’t meedeed for this post but ima say it anyway

so one of the things that annoys me endlessly is this phenomenon where, when I say I like something, people assume that means I want more of it, a different version of it, add-ons and bells and whistles, and i'm just like
no.
no, when I say I like tea, I mean I like tea. Not herbal tisanes, not "tea with--", no milk, no sugar, no fruit, no frills, just good-quality tea in a range of fermentations and colours.
when I say I like a hot bath, I mean the bath. Not bubble-bath, not bath oils and foams and salves and unguents, not candlelight and music and a zen space to sensually relax with a book and a glass of wine, just a hot bath in a normally-lit bathroom where I can unwind and get clean.
when I say I like beer, I mean I like beer. Not fruit-flavoured, not with a special something-something added, for the love of GOD not sweetie-flavoured, just a well-brewed ale or stout in a simple pint glass, in good company.
and that isn't because there's anything WRONG with the add-ons! these are not bad things! I know that for some people, a tea advent calendar with different herbal blends, or a luxurious foamy scented bath with candles and music, is what they mean by "I like tea" and "I like baths". but it would just be nice if when I asked for a green tea, people didn't assume I mean "with..."
anyway this post is about lord of the rings: war of the rohirrim
#lord of the rings#fandom#TO EXPOUND UPON THIS#1) the most common pushback I have had on this is “but you like fanfic!” and i cannot express enough that i like WRITING fanfic#this is actually one of the biggest problems i have engaging with fandom. i rarely want to Consume More Of The Canon (But Different)#i have not read more than a dozen fanfictions in the past decade and honestly in most of those cases i read them out of obligation#2) I am not saying War of the Rohirrim is necessarily bad#i haven't seen it. i mean my expectations are somewhere around floor level but it could surprise me by being great.#2a) my problem is not with the existence of “canon fanfiction” media it's with the expectation (among friends) that i actively want it#i have not watched rings of power either and again it's not that i necessarily assumed it would be bad. i just. kinda don't care?#this is not the story of which i am a fan! this is a different story with a different direction! the world is not what compels me!#3) i am not shaming or judging anyone who DOES interact with fandom that way#or who gets excited for tie-in media and sequels and remakes and fanfiction and spin-offs#but as with tea and baths and beer it is very wearing to feel like i am somehow interacting with fandom Wrong by NOT wanting that?#like. to me personally it is enough - in fact actively preferable - to have a bounded and complete Thing and enjoy it#to the extent where i increasingly struggle with very long/multi-era shows like star trek or doctor who#i just want tea!#AND LIKE TO BE FAIR THE TEA METAPHOR GOES FURTHER#because i actually do really like some masala chais#and my tea shelf has roiboos and genmaicha and also just A Pot Of Mint none of which are “just tea”#the issue is not “i never want things that fit into the 'same but different' category”#it's “I want people to understand that when I say I like tea I primarily mean that I like plain infusions of camellia sinensis”#“I would like you to tell me which brands of PLAIN APPLE CIDER you have before running through the list of fruit flavours”#“having candles next to my bath stresses me out and that doesn't affect my love of baths because i can simply not light any”

i try to be normal about loan words because they exist in every language but i can't help but be filled with rage every time i see or hear the term "dirty chai"
#i was going to stop making fun of white people for saying 'tea tea' (chai = 'tea') because it was getting played out#and what you put in your tea is your own business (tho if u like spicy espresso u could just put the masala in ur espresso)#first borrow a word and then do that to it. just. thoughtless.#anyway the reason i dont go back to relentlessly making fun of men and white people is because there is always a bigoted backlash#not because it isnt fun or they (white people) or we (men) dont deserve it

grimdark is actually the most dnd ass made up word i think has been created by people oversimplifying and misunderstanding media so far
#whoever that was come tell me where u found that word im curious#was it tiktok or twitter#discovering that word exists was like thanks! i hate it#genuinely intrigued. but its also very stupid#like thats just funny but also sad. like dropping a crunchy taco on the ground and watching it shatter like ur dreams#whoever decided that word was a good idea in that context go write a kids fantasy book instead. ur making english worse#“grim” literally means gruesome and dark U DONT SAY CHAI TEA BECAUSE CHAI IS TEA UR SAYING TEA TEA#/ref but jeez 😭

Okay I'm actually cackling at the tea war going on in your inbox BUT I WILL MAINTAIN MILK IN TEA >>>>>>>>>>>
because if not enough milk tea will be too watery (and maybe too strong but I love myself some good strong tea)
but if too much milk then the tea flavour is not strong enough and the flavour just isn't good
being from India I normally use these masala chai teabags but if that's not available I normally just use english breakfast tea + ginger + lemongrass + cinnamon (and sometimes I add cardamom) and I need it w milk because then you can dunk biscuits in there and in my correct humble opinion, the ability to dunk biscuits in your tea is what makes the tea a good tea thank you for coming to my ted talk
YUMMMM i gotta try chai frfr
#The word “Chai” just SOUNDS yummy#BUT YEAH MILK IN TEA IS BEST#asks#loz tag#i am soso boring so i like just plain english breakfast tea w 2 sugars cus that what my nan used to make me when i stayed over#tea discourse#beverly says stuff#< i keep forgetting to use this tag

honestly the way people talk about ‘bots’ on this site isn’t right. like, you can ask people to alter their blog so that it doesn’t look like a bot.
and you can do that nicely.
you don’t need to go on about how “you look like a fucking bot”. you don’t need to be angry and spam emojis about it.
not only is it unfriendly to new users,
but it hurts people who struggle to personalise their blogs.
people with social anxiety.
people with depersonalisation.
people with executive dysfunction.
etc.
some people are really fucking scared of online spaces. i am.
“just reblog one thing” no. fuck no. it’s not easy for everyone. for some people it’s the hardest, most dreaded thing. i used to be so fucking afraid of the like button and accidentally pressing it.
so please stop acting like blog personalisation is easy to do or ‘the least you could ask’ of someone. please stop acting like those who don’t personalise their blogs, and then get blocked, deserve that. they don’t.
we can’t help it; i soft block accounts i think are bots. but please be gentle with others. there are still real beings behind many many screens. 🌹🌹
#apparently saying homo sapiens is like saying chai tea. that might not be true#social anxiety disorder#social anxitey#mentalheathawareness#spam bots#not sm/sad

Flinging to the tag a question again,
I headcanon the whole thing of “Perfect Drug”/ ”In a Blink” being not Chai’s heart/mind pumping music in as normal, but Kale. Chai was controlled by Spectra (in turn Kale) during the start of it, so it fits logically. Also, it’s not the first time the game’s put in a different POV being in charge the music, see: “Invaders Must Die”/ “Intruder”
So the question is, before I go into AO3, is there any fanfiction of Kale one sided pining for Chai? Kinda like “This daft idiot is ruining all my plans, WHY DO I WANT HIM?!” kinda fanfiction. I saw someone mention on reddit that a good number of fanfictions have Chai slammed with the “Lack of Self confidence” stick something fierce and I don’t want to dig through that.
#Hi-Fi Rush Spoilers#Spoilers#Hi-Fi Rush#Hi Fi Rush#I also say one side because Chai doesn't really curse...#And for him to call Kale a jackass means it's a long while#for the vegetable to get the tea to like him if not ever

the fanfic author's curse real as hell I just got back from the hospital for the second time this week bc I had to get my blood drawn. I got It drawn at the hospital for the first time, but that was to test for clotting. They wanna test again for immune disorders because I had a pretty bad pleurisy (Which is also the reason why I went to the hospital the first time!) Then I had to see my Cardiologist, who told me that my joint issues may be related to my Orthostatic Hypotension. They noted that because I have loadsa other symptoms I might have EDS. Of course, I was recommended to talk to a rheumatologist about this. then they sent me home with a heart moniter AGAIN! i hate the stickers bc they irritate my skin >:P
I can't believe its taken this long to get a real diagnoses for any of this, its all pretty recent. But they've always been there. anyways, i'm grateful I was able to get any of this, even the fucking dumb excuses like "growing pains" or an "anxious heart" when I was younger.
#cripple punk#health update#healthcare#disability#EDS#hypermobile ehlers danlos#orthostatic hypotension#postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome#pots syndrome#why add the “syndrome” after saying POTS? it's in the name! that's like saying ATM machine#or chai tea or Sahara desert#ao3 author curse#fanfiction#the feds took my fuckin blood again for nefarious purposes (theyre gonna steal my lawnmower)

#i had the most validating day at school today#in the middle of my teaching a kid stood up randomly and said that I teach well and he likes my teaching#other kids started saying similar things (which I know is them buttering) and I was so happy because I didn’t know if what I’m teaching#is even making sense to them considering the language they understand is not my native lingo and I was teaching English lmao#and cherry on top was when another teacher was telling other teachers about how quiet the kids were when I was teaching this class#for context this class is a nightmare and teachers fear for their lives when they have to go here#so yeah I’ve been riding a mad high#other kids over the months have also complimented me and their parents have also told me that the kids talk about me at home#oh also I used to help my neighbour kid with history and today her mom said she did better than she did before#so yeah mad validating shit#tea time with chai hat tea
