rip cheese pizza, time to find another one~
I THOUGHT I FOUND A PIZZA I COULD EAT AT THE STORE CLOSEST TO MY APARTMENT AND GUESS WHAT???
NOPE~~~
IT HAS GELATINE IN IT~~~~
so disappointed~~~ totinos or whatever the brand is of pizza that is plain cheese, isn't vegetarian because it's got gelatin in it~~
my legally blind self thinking that it's just a cheese pizza, it'll be fine...
eat one, look at ingredients on the other one using a food scanner app, gelatin shows up, well crap... eat it too cause you don't want to waste 2.50 in food...
never buy that brand again and find a cheese pizza that doesn't have gelatin in it....
WHY??
I've been avoiding animal fat, gelatin, and everything else for the longest time....
hopefully one simple mistake doesn't make me a hypocrite cause I didn't know until now~~~
why is there gelatin in a cheese pizza??
never getting totinos pizza again~~

Hoid can eat soulcast meat according to wob because he (and Sanderson) views it as not causing harm. He could also eat regular meat if someone genuinely convinced him that it was soulcast. I would personally count his ability to eat soulcast meat as separate from whether it's vegan since he has no ethical concern with regular meat consumption. But that would depend on how you define vegan/vegetarianism so who knows
(Hoid eating bacon. & Is soulcast meat vegan, read at your own risk)
#sanderson compared the discussion to lab grown meat which seems fair#the people I know who can't eat meat for medical reasons consider themselves vegetarian#but I assume that probably varies from person to person#*don’t consider themselves vegetarian#dang it

Mentioned in a Post a while back about a Jttw/LMK AU I had regarding the "Yellow Robed Demon" Arc when Tripitaka got turned into a tiger.
Book Summary;
Tripitaka manages to escape his capture (for once) and passes on a message to the King of Baoxiang from his daughter, Baihuaxiu, explaining that she was kidnapped and made the forced bride of a demon (ironically making it a magical version of what befell Tripitaka's mother when he was a baby).
Kui Mulang rolls in with a human glamour and goes: "Nu-Uh! I'm but a humble human hunter. THIS guy is a tiger demon who attacked a girl some time ago. I save her and we've been living a simple life for the last 13 years!" (Lie)
So the dude pulls an Uno-Reverse and transforms Tripitaka into a tiger (or in some versions, glamours him into one). The King and his subjects believe this 100% since Tripitaka and the Pilgrims don't look so great without Wukong there to act as PR (he was exiled at the time for the White Bone Spirit incident).
Tripitaka is apparently aching-beautiful no matter his form though;
Wukong even feels kinda bad for his Master, since the transformation is so good that he can't even see through it with Gold Vision. Also imagine a sad giant kitty, that would bum anyone out.
Of course things are resolved by the end of the arc; the gang reunite with their monkey, Ao Lie gets his own badass chapter, the Princess is saved, Bajie kills the couple's two half-demon wolf children, the Yellow Robed Demon is revealed to be Revatī - the Wood Wolf of Legs after Wukong catches the demon commenting on his performance during the Havoc (Wukong has a few Columbo moments in the book like this), and Tripitaka is transformed back into his squishy monk self.
Bonus - Tripitaka as a tiger from a book illustration + the 1999 cartoon.
The book illustration + description suggests he's a rare Pseudo-melanistic "Black Tiger" seen in India, possibly an Indo-Chinese Tiger, or a South China Tiger with a darker back.
So here's where the timeline shifts...
The Wood Wolf of Legs ain't happy to be dragged away from (what he believed to be mutual) his true love on earth + his two kids, so he curses the Tang Monk to not only retain part of the glamour he imposed upon him, but to transform him fully into a carnivorous feline demon. Also as an extra "F-k you!" to the Jade Court he and his past love fled from, since the Queen Mother is a celestial tigress herself.
The Pilgrims freak out, obviously.
Guanyin is called up and is like;
Guanyin: "Well, you did unjustly punish and exile your best bodyguard because you didn't trust his judgement, seeing him only as a murderous beast... so *your* punishment is to deal with the rest of your Journey as one of the very same creatures you see as mindlessly bloodthirsty." Tripitaka, now cursed to stay a catboy: "Dang it." (≽^╥⩊╥^≼)
He still gets to wear the robes and walk upright -think Master Tigress from Kung Fu Panda but as a wimpy, twink-shaped, monk.
Tripitaka aint' having fun. He's a life-long vegetarian who's suddenly an apex hypercarnivore. He tries his best for the longest time to stay on the veggies (and durian weirdly enough since tigers like those), but eventually he will need to chow down on some bleeding protein.
And his team literally consists of the main diet of a tiger...
Wukong, a monkey: "Master isn't looking too good." Zhu Bajie, a pig: "I don't like the way he's been looking at us. I burnt my finger making the campfire and he looked ready to pounce!" Sha Wujing, a fish: "I'm not surprised. Cats are of few beasts that absolutely require meat protein to survive." Ao Lie, currently a horse: "If he goes feral, I vote we sacrifice the pig first." Wujing & Wukong: "Agreed." Zhu Bajie: "HEY!!" (₍•̀ ⚇•́ ₎) Tripitaka, meditating hard: "Perhaps if I eat a watermelon, it would sustain my desire for flesh?"
What worse?
Tripitaka is still considered smoking hot. Now by demon standards too!
The Trio of Lion Camel Ridge prepare to attack the Pilgrims when;
Azure Lion: (*sees that the Great Monk is actually a beautiful tiger.*) Azure Lion, lowering his sword: "Guys, do not mess this up for me." Peng & Yellow Tusk: (*annoyed groans!*)

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls, 3x9, A Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving, Part IV
I just realized the winter carnival episode is next and tbh I'm pretty stoked about that one.
Ugh, someone left Gilmores on my front porch. Fetch me my broom. Shoo! Shoo! At Thanksgiving number one, we find out Lane is spinning yet another tangled web of lies to ensnare Soggy Rygalski (my new pet name for him, don't ask). Mrs Kim thinks Soggy is actually in a Christian band that Lane discovered through church and not a sinful rock band. Mrs Kim serves Tofurky and I feel as if our little vegetarian diner rat would have enjoyed that.
Welcome back, Soggy.
Dang. When Rory sees how people like her mother and Luke and Mrs Kim treat their employees, it's no wonder she doesn't want to get a job! Bad dum tssssh. Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night.
Why did I remember that scene as being a lot longer than it was? It lasted less than three minutes. Weird!
Onward, from Soggy to Sookie.
"According to the National Fire Protection Association: deep fryer fires cause an average of 5 deaths, 60 injuries and more than $15 million in property damage each year. Deep-frying turkeys has become increasingly popular, but the new tradition is a recipe for holiday tragedy."
Men, eh? One minute they're lying about turkey preparation and the next they're lying about having a vasectomy.
Rory looking gravely concerned or lost in thought as usual. Thinking deep thoughts about frying. Asked Sookie not once but twice "What do you use the oil for"?
Granny creakily rising from her lawn chair to join the hordes of Jackson's screaming white trash relatives has to be one of my favorite bits in this episode (maybe the season?) so far.
Gather round, white trash young and old. Your king has arrived.
THE FACES!
This whole scene is top notch. I tip my hat to you, Miss AmyShermanPalladino. After departing the white trash jubilee, it's time to circle back to Lukes. I know small business owners are hard working people who don't always have the luxury of shutting down and taking a break, but do you think he ever closes the diner? For anything? Christmas Day? Yeah, I'm sure ya'll can name a few times on the show where he closes up shop (would actually be interested to hear what they were). It wouldn't matter. He'd try to close on Christmas Day and the Gilmores would show up anyway and demand to be served instead of drinking eggnog in their own home. For Christmas, Lorelai should buy Luke a massage. (A LEGITIMATE MASSAGE. You filthy readers).
Mommy Daddy please stop fighting
*smashes Jess and Rory together like I'm 9 years old forcing two Barbie dolls to make out*
Alarming to see Lorelai treat Jess this nicely because I worry she may be ill. Or possibly delirious from hunger (she didn't eat at Sookie's or Lane's, she threw out Mrs Kim's tofurky and just gawked at Sookie's house). It looks like Luke was nice enough to give Jess the day off, but Walmart (and its Hunger Games-style Black Friday festivities) may still be calling. Is this the first real, hot, home made, lovingly prepared holiday meal anyone had ever served him in his entire life? (I'll give partial credit to The Bracebridge Dinner). No street wieners for Jess Mariano this Thanksgiving! Jess says he's starving, but Luke told him not to eat until the Gilmores arrived first. That's some grade a bullshit.
All he wants this Thanksgiving is for his fellow white people to Check Their Privilege. Good luck with that, Lucas.
Serving lewks. Luke has just served the table four heaping plates of hot food and upon hearing that the Gilmores will be trotting off to the McMansion next, presumably to eat way fancier, he says they can just throw everything the fuck out and drink soda if they want. Kay... Jess: Please, Uncle Lucas, don't take away my hot meal. I'm ever so hungry.
A screen shot of Milo eating makes a great gift or any holiday or special occasion.
How DARE you Lucas. You are not going to make my poor tired boy serve coffee to the Gilmores on Thanksgiving Day! Lorelai's your ball and chain, you do it.
Yeah, what a pity that not everyone can kiss like Dean.
"You and Jess are a couple of chickens pecking each other." Yooo, it's about time you pick a lane, Lorelai. You're confusing the poor girl. The last time an adult got wind that Jess and Rory were about to peck like chickens The Incredible HulkLuke smashed down the door and put those two chickens out to pasture. Rory: Mind your own business. Lorelai:???????? I assure you she does not know the meaning of the phrase. R: I'm not good with public displays. L: You didn't have that problem with Dean Me: Trying fruitlessly to remember any scene where Dean and Rory passionately made out in public or showed any sort of affection with each other anywhere that Lorelai could see it R: I don't know how this first second boyfriend thing is supposed to go. L: Well he's your first second boyfriend so give it time. R: The whole town got used to me with Dean. L: It'll get easier, you'll have hundreds of men. Well maybe not hundreds. A couple. Three more. Dean again, Logan, then Logan again. L:They'll adjust to seeing with you Jess! R: What do I do about Dean? L: Well he'll move on too. All this sensible advice coming from Lorelai? It is truly the Thanksgiving of Miracles.
God bless you, Babette. God bless you.
The next scene, a Friday (Thursday) Night Gilmores Showdown at the McMansion goes on for around 8 minutes which is going to feel like more than an hour in Salty Time. I'm going to wilt.

Wines Inspired by Characters Henry Oak from Dungeons and Daddies [FULL EXPLANATION]
Starting off the series with one of my favorite characters from the podcast here's some notes I've written down for the wine.
Grape Type: So Henry having a vegetarian/vegan diet I wanted something that would pair nicely with this. There were mentions of foods like Trail Mix, Nuts, Mushrooms and dried oats and a few wines fit perfectly with this but since Chardonnay is known for it's buttery taste due to it's fermentation in OAK Barrels the choice was a bit obvious.
Dry or Sweet? Plus, this type of wine is known for being either sweet or dry depending on the temperature it was grown in. I feel like this reflects Henry's personality as he's both super sweet caring and very much a pacifist but also dry, angry and stressed.
Body So, the body reflects not only on the amount of alcohol the wine has but also, it's acidity, color and tannins.
Acidity is sour and makes your mouth water but tannins dry your mouth. That being said, medium body just means that there is a balance between both tannins and acidity and that it's within a 12.5%-13.5% alcohol level. Oaked Chardonnays are known for this.
The alcohol level is reflected on the amount of natural sugar the grapes have which can vary by the soil type, climate and variant. This does NOT reflect on the overall sweetness of the wine. Sweet wines usually have lower alcohol levels than bold wine since most of the glucose is broken up and fermented during the process there for making more alcohol.
Flavors and Aromas: Several sommeliers have explained that flavors and Aromas AND will vary depending on the pallet. There are a few that are more noticeable to several but others that aren't. That is part of the magic and art of wine tasting. That being said for Henry's Inspired wine I did use some fruits mentioned in his dialog during season 1. More specifically this quote:
What the freakin ding dang, gosh darn, dilly willy, heckin' shark tooth, banana chicanery, rootin' tootin', raspberry freaking FUCK are you two doing here?! -Henry Oak (Dungeons and Daddies Season 1)
Although banana and shark tooth aren't main notes for this wine, I feel like Henry would use these terms to describe it. Raspberry on the other hand WOULD be a nice main note, alongside the classic vanilla and Oak combo from classic chardonnay with a hint of green apple, Jazmin and general minerals. Those last three I feel reflect Oakville a lot beside the obvious OAK.
Bottle Design The main label reflects the physical appearance of the character both in its podcast cover and in the character's intro from Will Campos.
"Henry Oak is the Birkenstock rocking, crunchy, munchy, hippie, nature druid dad of the group."
Wanted to stick with the colors from the Cover art but with a more neutral tone so that it matches the colors and hue of this hypothetical wine.
Having the iconic Berkenstocks in the background on a rocky stone grown with vines growing around it, just felt like the perfect vision for Henry. And as a little homage to on of the several dadfacts I added a Trilobite insignia on the top of the wine cap.
Finally, I added the important info such as where it would have been produced, by what bodega and when. Obviously, Oakville in the Forgotten Realms would have been an interesting place to grow grapes. Bodega Daddies because it sounds both funny and well fitted and finally it's from 2019 because that's when Henry Oak first appeared in the first episode of that same year.
And I think that just about does it!!!
Thank you so much for reading and I'll be following up with the next wine of the series. Which character should I make a wine for next?

Important Question: Is Naksu/Mu-deok a good cook?
Her basic cooking skills are proven, she clearly made edible pheasant, soup, rice, and other foods throughout the show. Her food prep is also proven, as we watched Songrim test that. It's implied she's been cooking for herself since early childhood and foraging for food while living in the valley.
Also, she must be a quick learner because she thinks to herself that she's vegetarian in the first episode but can prepare and cook pheasant when they are living in the valley.
Jang Uk happily eats her food despite being picky (except the very first time when he's purposefully messing with her), Park Dang-gu and Seo Yul also seem happy to eat it. Master Lee is not a reliable critic since who knows what he usually eats.
The two people who criticize her cooking are Jin Cho-yeon and Go Won. Cho-yeon is all anxious about leaving home, so her criticism isn't exactly reliable and then she does happily eat when she's with Dang-gu. I also find it unlikely that Maid Kim would allow Mu-deok to cook for important guests if she sucked at it.
Go Won enjoys messing with Mu-deok and is also trapped inside the ice stone when he says her cooking sucks, so again, unreliable witness.
My conclusion is that Mu-deok is a good cook and she quickly learned how to make fancier food because she had a solid foundation of knowledge. Oh, and she is not great at actually teaching cooking, her instructions to Yul were way too vague.

Dang boy you're pretty and kind and smart and handsome. Got any plans for the weekend or just relaxing. How are your dnd sessions going? Been to any museums recently? Favorite place to grab a bite?
Thank you! Definitely not a relaxing weekend, I just went out to Chicago's PrideFest with some friends and now I'm heading home to pack because I'm moving to a new apartment next week
DnD is going swell! I'm DMing two games. In one, the players are trapped in a Groundhog Day style pocket dimension where a self-loathing demigod is torturing themselves (and by proxy many more) in an endless loop. In the other, a parasite that feeds off of magical energy caused a floating city to crash into the mountains eons ago and now the ruins have been uncovered and my players are just about to get to the heart of the city where the parasite is strongest.
A couple months ago I presented my work at the Field Museum which as fun. But more recently I went to a Pride Night at the aquarium where I saw some aquatic-themed drag and learned fun shark facts (they didn't have the otters present tho smh)
Favorite place to grab a bite? Honestly there's a food truck near my work that has the most delicious tofu rice bowl I've ever had and I'm not even vegetarian
Thanks for asking!

so for context I work in an assisted living facility for seniors
things my coworkers have done but not gotten in trouble for: mocked a schizophrenic resident and tried to force feed her even though she was feeling scared and paranoid, forgotten to feed the resident who can’t feed herself, constantly complained that accommodating the dietary needs of an autistic resident is “too much”, flat out forgetting that one of our Hindu residents is vegetarian and fucking feeding her meat, called residents crazy behind their backs, set out shattered glassware for the residents to eat from, etc.
things I’ve done on the job that I HAVE gotten in trouble for: sitting down, eating breakfast, taking a break, helping to feed the resident when the caretakers are “too busy” to help her eat, “wasting time” by choosing to sit with a depressed resident who had been eating alone instead of mopping the dang floor, etc.
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!!! my coworkers violate human rights everyday and don’t get in trouble but i fucking can’t sit while on the floor or eat until my boss says so and IM the one who gets in trouble?

I can't believe I hadn't thought about this before but I wonder what Caroline's relationship with Shiv would be like after the crash. I imagine it'd still be pretty strained since she'd already been divorced from Logan for a few years at least by that point, and of course she'd be very emotionally reserved while Shiv was missing, but I think she would feel the pain of that loss and probably blame Logan a lot like, "his own damned plane and he couldn't even find it". And then when Shiv came back I think Caroline would try to be more gentle with her but still feels rejected, and when rumors started buzzing around about what her daughter had to do to survive I'm sure she'd be spooked by it.
I can't believe I never thought about it either! Dang, I am going to start listing you as a co-writer, you're saving my ass here.
Caroline being the reigning Queen of Avoidance with Occasional Bursts of Defiance would most likely withdraw more and more from the situation. She would end phone calls early with the boys because "it's all just a bit much" for her. When Shiv is found, Caroline doesn't visit until she shows up unexpectedly at Bryn Mawr Shiv's freshman year (I do intend to get into how Shiv almost immediately wants to start her life back up again on her return -- inheriting some of her mum's avoidant tendencies by thinking that will remove her completely from the crash -- and starts college the following term). Like her surprise visit when they were little when she tried to take them away, Caroline love bombs Shiv and takes her out shopping, then tries to get her to move back with her to England "to properly rest and rejuvinate".
And of course, Shiv says no, and I for one don't blame her. She'd been presumed dead for nineteen months and all she got from her mom was a quick letter and phone call that it was clear Caroline couldn't wait to end. Now she's here wanting to interrupt and uproot Shiv's life after she's finally started returning to some version of normal? Yeah, no thanks, mom.
And of course, Caroline takes that as more proof Shiv deems her beneath her without taking into account how selfish her own motives are. She loves Shiv deeply, so once she perceives the slightest bit of resistance from her, Shiv becomes Enemy no. 1. That's when the "impish" little jokes about just what Shiv got up to start. In her own passive-aggressive way she's also trying to get Shiv to open up to her, but saying, "well, you know what they say pork tastes like" when Shiv takes another serving of pork loin doesn't make Shiv willing to open her heart to her mother for some reason.
(I actually can't decide if Shiv goes the Tai route of vegetarianism when she gets back or not. My guess is she tries because she can't be normal around meat so soon after everything, but Logan browbeats her out of it because it only makes people speculate more.)

Dang girl I know so many of these because ilysm already BUT PLEASE POR FAVOR the weirdly specific asks: 12, 1, and 2, and a cowboy for your troubles.
JULES MY BELOVED. Okay, here goes...
12. brand of haircare/bodycare/skincare that you trust 100%?
The fanciest face/skincare product I own is by Sunday Riley and it is soooooo luxurious. I feel like a classy lady in a black and white movie whenever I use it. But on a daily basis I use Sephora brand and it's super kind to my awful combination skin.
1. chipotle order?
Ooo, I rarely order from there but when I do it's always a burrito bowl. Combo chicken and pork, with fajita veggies, pico, and cheese. Guac and chips on the side. Mmmm now I want Tex Mex 😂
2. thoughts on veganism?
I've had enough health issues in my life to always respect someone else's dietary choices. Veganism takes dedication and discipline, and is often a healthy choice given processed alternatives. I enjoy vegan recipes, and cooking for my vegan/vegetarian friends from time to time. However, it isn't for me.
Send Me a Weirdly Specific Ask!

Since I'm heading out for mexican food rn I wondered; do you have any hcs for Sparks of Hope characters' favorite kinds of food? Doesn't have to be the spark hunters lmao could be any one. I'll share mine once I'm back from the mexican place lol (and again sorry i bring up sparks of hope so much)
First of all, you don't have to apologize, second of all, hope you enjoy the food!! I only really get Mexican food these days when I'm visiting my relatives (I grew up in Texas but don't live there anymore). So I am jealous /lh
On that note it's hard not to imagine that Rabbid Luigi is obsessed with tacos. In his brain there is only one day, Taco Tuesday. It consumes all. It's not like they're the only thing he eats but.... he's thinkin about 'em all the time.
Rabbid Mario pretty much entirely eats pasta and pizza if he can help it; the kind of stuff Mario himself dreams about.
Rabbid Rosalina constantly has a hankering for really bizarre space-creature "seafood" because that's what she ate with Orion. Like the others will be talking about what they want for dinner and suggesting stuff like burgers or spaghetti and she'll be like "Dang I could really go for some fried granglepus from the grangnafar system" and everyone is just like ??!?!?
I'm actually really bad with food headcanons lol, but here are a few things I've already thought of, it's less about favorite foods but more general...
First of all, Dryad basically functions like a tree and she doesn't HAVE to eat food, she can persist entirely on sunlight, water and soil. But yes she has to eat the soil. She's so cute and dainty but Sweetlopek has come upon her just shoveling dirt in her mouth. AND SHE LOVES HER SOME GOOD DIRT- but she can also eat other things, berries and nuts mainly. She is becoming more adapted to other vegetables and cooked food via Sweetlopek's cooking.
Because, speaking of which, Sweets is a vegetarian. Despite his burly woodsman look, he has found himself unable to bring himself to hunt or even fish since he was a child (much to his father's embarrassment). He loves lil critters and he can't bear to harm one or think about harming one, which is one of the things Dryad loves about him. So he eats his veggies and he eats a LOT because he's a big boy. Woodrow is also a vegetarian; it's a pact they had since they were children. (Werewolf AU idea: it gives him a lust for meat that is totally unfamiliar for him...)
