*eats nothing but ultraprocessed microwave food, snacks packed with food dyes, and takeout* why do I have depression and adhd
#i get it it's very tempting these foods are LITERALLY designed to get you addicted#it's not your fault but it IS your responsibility to do better for yourself and your loved ones#this isn't even my most controversial opinion#addition: i don't mean you should be eating nothing but organic vegetables and grass-fed beef#sure that would be ideal but that's beyond the economic means of most people especially if you're feeding a family#just. regular normal food made from ingredients.#it doesn't have to be fancy literally just boil some potatoes and roast a chicken idc??#make a bean soup or whatever#i probably spend less than two hours a week cooking and eat basically exclusively homecooked meals#it's SO MUCH cheaper too#i do a big cook once or twice a week for dinner and make snacks/lunch/breakfast daily#i basically eat OMAD during the week though but on my days off i'll eat several meals

okay i typed this in a reply but i need to say this more detailed here too, the way totk dealt with horses (and stables) is bad and worse than botw imo (yes i can rant about that too, these weird choices are in every little spot in totk, its almost impressive)
in a game that lets you build cars and stupid flying maschines, towers that shoot you into the stratosphere AND teleporting points all over the place, the chance is already low that you use a horse- though i would be one of them bc i love horses and hate building and didnt find it fun at all-
(also i almost never used any parts i had with me bc you cant put them back and your dumb vehicles despawn as soon as you dont look at them- also a negative thing about that system that reinforces the feeling of actually using it being more punishing than rewarding with the added bonus of the good ol saving your health potions forever problem)
-and something i DID like was that you can have more horses and the ... one.. new color (the lil spots but only AFTER you do that one quest in the spy post)
the stable points seemed like a neat idea, but like so many things, are utterly cheatable, imo the system should have only given you a point when you visit a new stable, so you actually have to go around and visit them all
(also .. add new stables, like mini ones or sth that dont offer beds- you dont need that anyway- so you have more places in which you can get them ... why did they remove some of them anyway, shouldn there be MORE now that the land is supposedly healing/being repaired? especially the one next to the big canyon, its so empty there it would have the perfect place for sth like a new settlement or a big boss arena but no its more empty than it was before, why?? and then putting yet another repeating annoying quest there in that weirld empty place?? i just dont get it)
letting you farm points by sleeping at a stable or bringing in a horse gives you LESS incentive to actually go around the world bc you can just farm it there
(and if that was done so youd 'discover' the malanya talks to you in your sleep 'secret' ... that is literally told to you, and if its bc you dont want to force players to go around and find every stable to get all those rewards ... why do you have 140 or whatver caves then with the majority of them being the literal same thing over and over ... to make people actually use the sleeping thing there? .. why, who uses that anyway, and farming points by sleeping there .. what the hell does that add? AND THEN the stupid sleep over tickets, probably the most nothign reward ever, dont count?? i dont think i ever used one- it just all doesnt make any sense, everything plays against each other)
the upgrading system for your horse is .. once again, a neat idea horribly executed, you have to go find malanya to upgrade them, and similarly stupidly like the fairies, they only tell you what food you need for what upgrade when you are there .. or when you are sleeping in the special tm bed at a stable, randomly, one food, bc the quantity changes too
which is just so ??????????? let me go and do a quest that rewards you with a lil booklet in which you can look up what an upgrade costs, or let the stables have that, either as a list or in the menu when selecting a horse or something?? (also why the hell is malanya in a different spot anyway, like, it feels like a modder just plopped them over there, their og spot is just empty now - except for yet again a stupid filler quest for .. another big horse and a yaaaaaaaaays crystal shrine quest- ... the spot is even still called spring of the horse god .... its so stupid, just like the fairy shuffling around, like you really couldnt think of a better way to reuse that concept other than to ... move it to a different spot in the same map and map level???? and not change anything in their og spot except idk, put a hole in the map ... for one of them like .. its like they moved them around last minute just to have the semblance of things being 'changed' with no regard what makes a change actually feel like one and what just feels like, pick up thing, click on random spot on map, drop thing- its like that for the fairies and shrines too, its so dumb and .. feels disrepectful to botw and how much thought seemed to have went into these spots that were clearly built about those things)
and like it couldnt get WORSE, they cut off the paths that horses follow automatically with one of those miasma buttholes (sorry its just a hole cut into the map, it doesnt even look like miasma burst through, it just .. cut out) a monster camp (that RESPAWNS, i thought those camps you clear with a quest would stay clear, but that would make sense, so of course it respawns and you can do the frame rate killer quest over and over yippieee) or otherwise like, with a big rock or a broken bridge-
and there is NO WAY to create a new path or fix or move anything in a game ABOUT BUILDING supposedly, like you needed more reasons to never use a horse????? i liked jsut hopping on and letting them follow a path and chill looking at the landscape, you cant do this here, and you cant even excuse it with 'its bc of the theme' as in, stuff is destroyed bc calamity 1.5 or whatever bc nothing in the game makes it feel like theres anything actually at stake, but the real crime is to make it not be fixable. WHY??? link moves entire buildings with ease but cant move one freaking rock that fell into a river?????? you swing around logs like a club but cant fix a bridge so your horse can get over it??????????????????????????????
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#ganondoodles rants#totk critical#i know i know its long#and you may wonder how i can find things to rant about yet#and i swaer im not trying to find thigns to hate#but igven how much it reuses from botw#imporvement or at least meaningful change should be the minimum and they just ......dont .... again#like WHY this is so dumb.................#the more i try to get my feelings into coherent thoughts about this game the more i realize just how rushed it feels#even the detail or side mechanics either dont make sense#or have some sort of way to cheat around way too obviously to be something overlooked#or are poorly integrated#or cheapen antoehr function#like these problems are everywhere#and the longer you look at it the cheaper it looks#even if you love the game and dont mind it or whatever there is NO WAY to justify that price tag#and so wish they were honest about what happend#it cant just all be covid can it? theres so much wrong in every part except for sound and music#and so desperately want to know WHY#........ i just wanted more horse colors- more horse slots- and a lil pasture somewhere where i can see them all frolicking around#i feel like thats not too much to ask

Getting a job at a takeout owned by a couple, I work late for them and as a thank you, can eat whatever I want on shift to keep me going. The food is pretty fatty in large portions, but it's ok, I just take what I need here and there and only put on a little bit of weight
Except what I don't know is that the couple are both feeders and have been waiting for the perfect employee to fatten up, and I seem like the perfect candidate. I don't notice it at first, sharing my shifts with them one at a time, being encouraged to try new additions to the menu, having larger and larger dinners getting used to having the fatty food so often
I plump up faster, a now modest potbelly poking out of my shirts that I hide behind the counter when customers come to collect their orders. One day I'm out back on shift with both of my bosses and one of them says I'm looking really good. I blush and make a shy comment about my little belly, only to gasp when they bend down to get a better look at it. I try to back up, but their partner comes up behind me and gently cradles my gut, relaxing me slightly as they rub it
The first one grabs some food and starts feeding it to me with a big spoon, all my favorites off the menu that they've come to recognise. I don't know why, but I just let it happen, it feels too good to try and escape... just happily locked in this couple's grasp as they cheerfully admit to wanting to fatten me up and keep me as their plaything
They pull up my shirt and rub my swelling belly as I'm fed mouthful after mouthful of rich fattening foods, I moan at their touch and the feeling of fullness, already wondering how many more of my nights are going to look like this
#hutch posts#weight gain#stuffing#weight gain writing#get me fatter#need to be fatter#i literally want chinese takeout so bad but i can't justify it#too much to spend on one meal when batch cooking is cheaper

Brick is so mischaracterized it’s obnoxious. Anytime I see a headcanon where he’s forced against his will to go to military school it’s soooo,,. How can you say that. This man LOVES the army. He is obsessed with the military like a little boy is obsessed with joining the military. This man has a tank nightlight, he loves military shit. It is his proudest accomplishment. The first thing he does when he gets on the island is brag about his medals, and all he talks about in his biography is the military. His best memory from childhood is going to boot camp for fucks sake. He can like fashion AND the military lmao. Why chose one
#td brick#if brick was smart he wouldn’t waste his money on fashion school and would take online courses for much cheaper instead#but whatever live out your best life king#he’d bedazzle his uniform for war#anytime I see that fake backstory where brick was forced by his dad to join the military so he could man up or whatever I just UGHHH#plus it’s canon that his issues came from being teased a lot as a child#idk too many of the revenge boys are given sad backstories like bro enough#I can elaborate more on bricks mischaracterization#he’s too woobified by fandom. he’s also a bit of an asshole lmao

This is V O I D! Her eyes glow in the dark :))
And here's a comparison with Verdigris :))
#in which rosemauled falls even further down the homemade furby shelby rabbithole#custom furby#furby shelby#homemade furby shelby#theyre too much fun to make to stop#honestly i would make some to open an Etsy shop if their sculpted fluff wasnt so fragile#i could make a tutorial tho#since the originals are so expensive this is definitely a cheaper option#s V O I D#s verdigris

saw someone in my city selling the ioh 15th anniversary vinyl on facebook marketplace for $175cad ($125usd). ive never felt so fucking conflicted in my life.
#that is almost double the price ive spent on one vinyl since ive been collecting but hhhhh i want it so bad.#i had a look at how much it has sold for on ebay/discogs and it is like cheaper than it usually sells for. but 😭#and then i wouldnt have to pay outrageous shipping on top of that is the only good thing too...sigh#WHY DID I NOT JUST BUY THIS WHEN IT DROPPED OH HOW STUPID I WAS I SHOULD HAVE STARTED COLLECTING SO LONG AGO AHHHHHH

Got my first display tab! And the first thing I tested it with is an anime Connie sketch lol.
HUGE thank you to my supporters at Ko-fi, as that's where I got the funds. 😊😊🤗💕
Seems needed time to get used to, and I use more shortcut keys than the number of shortcut buttons on the tab; but I am already loving the it so far! My laptop, on the other hand, is not handling it too well. 😅
#I did kind of expect the laptop to act like it is right now. Which was another reason for buying a cheaper display tab to save up more on#a new laptop.#I got an Xp Pen 13 by the way!#It's looking great so far#The screen is much more closer to my face now tho. Lol#The colors come out different than both my laptop screen and cellphone. 🤔#But I think the xp pen has too much red tint?#Anyway. I have to tuck the XP pen for the moment. Not just because I needed a better laptop. I'm in the middle of doing commissions and#can't do those while still getting used to the laptop ...while also dealing with the lag.#The laptop's power drains even faster with the display tab and it lags even quicker the more layers I add. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#Laptop can't handle it very well.#Connie Maheswaran#SU#my shiz#Xp Pen#Thank you to my ko-fi supporters!!!!!!!💕💕💕#This was a screenshot redraw by the way. Or at least a screenshot redraw of a scene by memory.#You know the scene.#I wish I was able to make Connie look more pissed off tho. Lol#I also used the tab for a some of the sketches of my current commissions and I am so sad that I can't use it throughout the process.#It's so much easier doing the sketches with it than on the screenless tab! But it also lags. Orz

For only $5,000 plus tax, you can have costco deliver an entire palette to your house
#i like looking at absolutely bonkers things on Costco#it's one of my hobbies up there with looking at mansions on zillow and judging the shit taste of rich people#who needs this much le creuset????? that's got to weight like 2;000 lbs#i mean i want pieces of that but my GOD that's too much#you'd have to have special cabinates built just to withstand the weight#and like you're paying for brand more than anything because if you NEED cast iron enamel there are cheaper brands that work just as well#le creuset is like 3-4x more expensive than it needs to be#but also THAT IS SO MUCH CAST IRON

knitting anything larger than thread is for weenies, come on you know you want to make wedding ring shawls
#this is a joke by the way#i just find the smaller i knit the better it is on my joints#its easier to carry around small projects in my bag too so i can take my knits on the go#plus thread is soooooo much cheaper per yard than anything else#it doesnt really take so long to knit either i average a stitch every two seconds#im making a shawl out of size 30 crochet thread atm and its coming along very swiftly#knitting is perfect for turbo adhd when you must keep your hands fiddling with stuff#this one is shaping up to be thin enough to be fit through a wedding ring :}#knitting

Here's what you're gonna do.
You're gonna go down to your local Aldi's, buy a 24oz bag of frozen mango chunks, a bag of rice, and two cans of black beans.
If you don't already have them; salt, lime or lemon juice and cumin; maybe some meal prep tupperware. Pouch tuna if you like that stuff.
Once home, put that bag of mango chunks in a bowl full of warm water so they defrost. Don't pen it. The bag needs to stay closed. This'll make sense later.
Prepare enough water in a pot to cook two cups of that rice. Make sure the pot's big. Big enough to hold way more rice than you expect there to be. Add a teaspoon of cumin, two tablespoons lime or lemon juice, salt according to preference. Pat of butter.
Boil. Make sure the butler's melted. Stir to combine.
Add your rice. Cook according to rice bag.
If you have a protein, you can cook that now. 20-30 minutes at your disposal. If not, that's why we got the second can of beans for.
I recommend Aldi's tuna steaks - quick to defrost, 5 bucks for 2-3. Lean protein. Real nice. Creme de la crumb's tuna marinade also works real nice if you have the energy.
A pouch of tuna's just as good functionally.
Less mercury that way.
You can mix it in that if you want, too.
Strain your beans. Conserve a little bean water for the rice if you want.
Your rice is done.
Add your beans. Twice as many if you're feeling like it'll be a bad week. Two or three pouch tunas too if you want a little extra.
If you have the lemon pepper kind you can probably nix the citrus juice.
Now we go back to your mango. If all's worked correctly, the warm water should've thawed them somewhat, the heat warming the air in the bag.
Dump 'em in, turn the burner to low heat. Stir until well combined.
Portion out into Tupperware.
You've got a good couple meals right there. Even more as side dishes if you have the energy to cook chicken nuggets or fish or veggies or whatever.
Lunch. Breakfast. Dinner.
Carbs to keep you awake and moving.
Protein to fuel your muscles.
Bit of fiber to push it all through your guts easier.
Citric acid to avoid the scurvy.
Can be eaten hot or cold, and the shit's good, too.
You're gonna have something tasty to eat whether you can operate a microwave or not this week.
That's what you're gonna do.
#adhd hacks#recipe#depression hacks#cooking hacks#cooking#you deserve better than a simple beige diet.#i had a lot of fun cooking this old favorite with my boyfriend this weekend.#the bag of mango was way bigger than we needed for one meal so they helped me prep cook some emergency dinner#this one is pretty simple in prep so if you can grocery shop and make mac and cheese this shouldn't be too much#it's a bit more pricey the first time around but getting a big bag of rice cuts this cost significantly.#fresh mango works too but frozen is cheaper#more cost effective and requires less spoons#canned beans are thankfully dirt cheap#pouch tuna is also wicked good lean protien-wise and $0.50-1 a pouch for store brand is a great way to eat#take care of yourselves friends. slowly building up the energy to put the effort you deserve into yourself doesn't have to start big.#it doesn't have to hurt. baby steps where you can take them are steps nonetheless.

just learned that one of the two people who i could call friends here fucking got married a couple weeks ago and the one other person (the one i lived on the same property with for 15 months) was there and even though i have seen her since it happened neither of them told me about this. and they have also regularly been hanging out without ever inviting me. obviously i don't need to be involved in everything but you never asked if i wanted to hang out even once even though i said multiple times hey we should all hang out sometime. ok 👍🏻
#like ok you had an informal wedding and barely invited anyone and arent close enough with me to invite me whatever.#but neither of them even mentioned it? i didnt even know the one friend was still here because she was supposed to leave for socal 3 weeks#ago and told me i had to leave by the 20th because of this and apparently shes still here and if i had known this was going to be the case#i might have been able to get a much cheaper and better living arrangement.#i just keep getting reminded that i am not that important in anyones life and everyone keeps treating me like a dumb child#and i have the horrible trait of treatment resistant depression so i cant even blame them because i'm fucking miserable constantly so why#would anyone bother developing a close relationship with me#i have said multiple times to both of these people hey we should hang out more or go see a movie or have dinner or whatever and every time#they're like yeah totally! and then they dont follow through on it#i straight up have no one i can even call and talk to about how upsetting this is because apparently i'm simply too mentally ill to maintain#friendships. like people will become friends with me and at some point i'll be like ok i'm very mentally ill! and theyll be like#ok i promise thats fine! and i'm sure they even mean it but people just run out of compassion and time and patience after very long. always#anyway lately i have been on the verge of self institutionalizing to be fully honest. but i think that would have many unwanted consequences#me

i just got my verano joven code cause i thought i might want to get to pontevedra at some point this summer so i can visit the museum and maybe get some books in the shop that might help me with my oposiciones there and um. this is the incredible discount i would get.
#prices get cheaper the further you go in time tho. so i would just need to book them quite ahead of time#do y'all know until what time does the verano joven apply? cause depending on when i'll do it i might book them for september#i think i'll just wait until the final list of people admitted to the oposiciones drops before attempting to secure a ticket#but yeah i'd like to go there and even stay the night? i don't know that might be too much#but i've only been to galiza once and it was like. half a day in lugo#that's it.#so i do really wanna try and see as much as possible
