Hello! Do you have a favorite winter recipe? I'm looking to expand my repertoire, because I've only lived in a climate that snows for a couple years, and I don't have enough cozy, bone warming foods!
PS - I keep having to feed my cat pumpkin puree because he has some tummy troubles but he will only eat it if I gently hand feed him with a spoon. Just thought you might enjoy that.
YES HERE IS JOYOUS SOUP
(i have never actually called it joyous soup but it's what i feel everytime i make it and i feel like everyone should make it)
This soup does not have a proper recipe because uhh, my mom is bad with recipes but ALSO this soup truly adapts to whatever you have in your fridge, as long as you have 1) some kind of oil or butter to sautee things with and 2) potatoes. this is the sam gamgee make-it-on-the-side-of-a-mountain-winter soup.
Step 1. Take your potatoes—6 is the ideal but 4 works—and chop them up rough. "What kind of potatoes?" Whatever they have on the side of the mountain, Sam. You now have a bunch of 1" potato chunks or discs (I like discs). I assumed you washed them first but if you forgot you can wash them now.
Step 2. Get your oil or butter sizzling. I use about two tablespoons of butter to start and add more as I go if the potatoes don't look fully covered. I am probably cooking the butter on medium.
Step 3. You're putting the potatoes in the butter. You're pretending to fry them. Watch them get all buttery and golden and a little brown and crispy. You're thinking, man, I could eat these as they are right now. You could do that. Don't. Add garlic and onions if you have them. Add lots.
Step 4. Just as you're like oh MAN these potatoes and garlic and onions look really good fried just like this, you're going to swamp them in water. You're going to stare at what you've done and thought you made a mistake. You have not. The water should just be covering the potatoes and now you've turned the water up to high, staring at your weird sad soup pot, that smells deliciously of butter garlic onions and potatoes.
Step 5. In another saucepan, you are melting more butter (or oil, or what have you) and figuring out what else you have in your cupboard. Carrots? Those can go in. Parsnips could too. Spinach works nicely. Any onions or garlic you forgot can be added again now. Mushrooms are fucking fabulous. Leeks? Sublime. The only veg you should be avoiding are the ones that are secretly fruits (no watery tomatoes or squishy cucumbers) or the ones that you think are insipid (celery).
Step 6. You're chopping all of that up as much as you like and browning it up in the butter. You're also adding whatever spices strike your fancy. I love salt, so that's always going in, but I usually add black pepper and cayenne, and then I get fruity with it and start adding in paprikas and cumins and turmerics or corianders and thymes and basils and parsleys. It all depends on what smells right to you combined with the steams you're making, and how much spice you want kicking you later.
Step 7. How are your boiled potatoes looking? Are they soft yet? Good. Can you stick a fork in them yet, and has the water boiled down to almost nothing? Excellent. How are all your buttery brown vegetables looking? If you want to give up the whole experiment and eat them right out of the pan, it's time to make another mistake and add all your gorgeous browned vegetables to your disastrous wet potato pot.
Step 8. You now have a lot of delicious stuff looking wet and sad in your potato pot. Pour in a bit more water (or veg broth, or stock if you have it) and stir that all up. Let it stew together a bit and combine flavors. Turn it back down to medium so you don’t scorch any of your nice wet veg things. If you're fancy like my mom, you get out an immersion blender here. If you're broke and possess your grandmother's food processor, like me, you're pouring that all into the food processor with the biggest blade you have and turning it into a smoothie. If your concoction seems oddly chunky you need to add more water.
Step 9. Wet sad potato smoothie is not much to look at but now you're adding CREAM. and CHEESE. and MORE SPICES TO YOUR TASTE. If you don't have cream MILK WORKS FINE. If you don't have cheese THAT IS OKAY. If you like your soup with chunks LEAVE OUT SOME OF YOUR VEG NEXT TIME and ADD IT IN HERE. At this point, you have a gorgeous creamy soup that's soft and luscious (that's the potatoes), includes all your favorite veg (that's everything you got out of the fridge), and can go in any number of taste directions depending on what spices you put in (I've made this with Indian spices, English herb garden spices, Mexican spices, Hungarian spices—every time it's delicious and works a different way).
Step 10. I hope you have a lot of bread because you're going to be dipping it in your soup saying :) man this is a nice soup :) and knowing you can make it whenever you have weird leftovers, as long as you have potatoes and butter. and what else does a person need in life than potatoes and butter?
enjoy your joyous soup <3 i may have forgotten several steps but as long as you follow -brown some veg -add water -add spice -blend the shit out of it, you can never really go wrong <3
#also you don't even need the dairy stuff it just gives it a nice OOMPH.#ive made this soup with nothing but potatoes olive oil scallions salt and water and it still went fucking hard. just give your stuff time t#melt around and get all flavory#hotvintagethoughts

on another note. it genuinely kinda surprises me how many people interpret ivan to be the type of person to Repress and Deny his feelings when, from all the evidence we actually have, he actually seems to be quite open about it?
he does do the dumb stare and watch from afar thing that till does with mizi, yeah, but even there i don’t know if i would necessarily interpret that as ivan like. pushing his feelings away. compare the difference between how till and ivan are framed in these two shots:
in till's, we are pushed way farther back, seeing his full face and a good deal of his body as he slouches back. the colors are bright, fitting in with most of the happier mizisua angst memories, and you can read till's expression pretty clearly, even with his face beaten up. it's cute and mostly innocent, the kind of thing that makes you want to gently push him out from behind the wall to watch him stutter and get all embarrassed but reach out and play with his friends.
in ivan's... jesus. i mean, he looks like a freak (affectionate). you can't read his expression, despite the fact that we are zoomed in much more closely, only really seeing his eye as the placement of his hand covers his mouth. there is very little body language to convey the same type of sweet, childhood Yearning that till has in his staring shot. instead, for ivan, it all comes down to the Eye, how intently he stares as he watches till and mizi. it almost doesn't even feel like he wants to join in at that moment, or not yet, like watching alone is enough to feed the starvation.
don't get me wrong, there's still plenty of Yearning and Angst in that boy-- round 3 alone is enough to demonstrate that. but what i think people sometimes forget to account for is the fact that ivan acts like that specifically because he has already been rejected.
up until [whenever this moment happens in the timeline] ivan seemingly has absolutely no qualms about getting all up close and personal with till. we see this in plenty of the round 6 flashbacks:
he is plenty comfortable getting all up in till's personal space, whether it be to beat him up or just exist near him.
i also like how in this shot (below) we can see him specifically stand up and move seats, just so that he can bother till during lunch and have his little vampire weirdo moment (aww).
ivan's behavior only really shifts after till has already rejected him-- which, i'd also like to note, seems to genuinely catch ivan off guard. perhaps he genuinely didn't even consider the possibility that till would ever push him away?? i guess it's hard to know the specifics of what he was feeling or thinking in that exact moment, but at the very least this speaks to the ease with which they existed around each other previously.
thus: ivan doesn't begin with the belief that till could never love him. he only starts to doubt whether or not his feelings are requited after he has already been rejected, after he pushed too hard and too quick.
after the failed meteor shower date, his affections become a lot more subtle-- sneaking around to take care of till when he needs it, but only when his eyes are closed. the love and obsession and watchfulness is all still there, but he takes more care to hide it better now. until... well, y'know.
he lets the selfishness win. :]
#i also need to catch up on all the side content so take this with a grain of salt but. ahem#astronaut rambles#alnst#ivan alien stage#ivantill#<- ivan focused but whatever this is still relevant#i may expand on that comparison between ivan's crush on till & till's on mizi later actually#cuz the difference in framing is also very very interesting to me#specifically in the ways in which till like. man idk how to say this#like he sees mizi more as an idealized version of herself i guess?#we see this in round 7 too-- mizi is salvation#something easy and pretty and sweet to grasp onto (and boy does till need something to hold on)#(i mean getting the shit beaten out of him is like his Brand. but okay poast for another day)#whereas ivan. i mean not to say that he doesn't idealize till to some degree too#but they also seem to just genuinely know one another better#there's more of an inherent awareness/acceptance of the ways in which till is fucked up for ivan than there is for how till sees mizi#well fuck i guess i did the expansion right there SIGHS okay anyways#alien stage#long post

I like to think that despite canon's ambiguity on the subject that Phoenix became good friends with Iris after BttT and she sends him handmade scarves and gloves and stuff in the winter. One day Phoenix goes to visit Kristoph in prison while wearing one of those scarves and is like ":( Kris.... we were toxic with benefits for 7 years and you never made me anything. You're in prison this long and you didn't bother learning some arts and crafts??? Cmon you never even knitted me a scarf" and Kristoph makes some snide remark about it but then a few months later Phoenix gets an unlabeled box on the porch of WAA that has this really shittily made scarf in it and Phoenix refuses to let anyone touch it bc he is convinced it's poisoned somehow. And he's right.
#i know Kristoph was probably executed but personally I think it would be really funny if he's just Around#Phoenix rolls up to chat with him. It's a fate worse than death bc Kristoph can't leave. He has to watch everyone move on without him#and become better people. More successful. All out of his control#and then they come back all happy while he's alone and miserable and have the gall to chat with him. Rub salt in the wound#death is a mercy when everyone who visits you in prison is annoying as shit. Get fucked Kristoph#anyway.#ace attorney#kristoph gavin#krisnix#phoenix wright#mod vex#textpost

thinking about the sheer amounts of conflict of interest within the fae group. it’s so deeply funny to me. kieran (unseelie king) is dating mark blackthorn & cristina (whose family also has connections to the fae & is bffs with emma), gwyn is with diana (blackthorn connected) and has his own connections to mark & kieran, ash is the seelie queen’s kid who’s also connected to dru, and kit’s got his obvious shit with ty
blackthorn takeover of the fae showing how hereditary ascension can be messed up
#like. if they found some way to reliably get the seelie queen to agree with ash’s ideas the fae realm would be fucked from a fae perspective#this isn’t even touching on ash kit mark & helen all being both shadowhunter & fae. like#what does the water in the la institute have.#kit herondale#twp#ash morgenstern#i have no idea what tags kieran & gwyn would use. tragic.#(also my extended au where ash & kit r parabatai & the seelie queen has bimonthly dinners w them to keep up to date w ash)#(like. so much conflict of interest. everywhere.)#(someone would be like wow the fae have so much dissent in their courts & everyone connected to these four r like. well. not really???)#(it looks like dissent from the outside but that’s just bc ash keeps putting whipped cream in kit’s shoes & kit retaliates w salt in—#—ash’s coffee. they tend to agree more often than not. but you’d only know that if u know who the players of the game are)

Adora's Underwritten Psyche
.
list of unexplored, underdeveloped opportunities granted that the writers didn't take for their main ( keyword - main ) protagonist:
being the next poster child of the Horde, desiring Shadow Weaver and Hordak's approval.
Shadow Weaver putting not only the responsibility, but the life of another child ( a volatile one, at that ) in her hands when Adora herself was, at most, 10 years old.
her promotion of Force Captain, which would mean she would be responsible for more lives, while she herself is still a child.
being different from her peers for unknown reasons, and being antagonized for it from a young age ( by Catra ).
constantly having to cater to Catra's person, often including her mood swings and sadism, to either avoid conflict or to make Catra happier.
not only her entire world being turned upside down, but having to fight the only people she knew as family.
being so incredibly sheltered and manipulated that she doesn't even know what an aunt or a party is, showing she was completely unable to have even a modicum of an actual childhood.
not knowing her own culture, home planet, people, biological family, if they ever wanted her, and being given away.
Mara. Mara.
Catra's repeated, increasingly violent betrayals, her hypocrisies, manipulations, etc. after abandoning Adora, while claiming she was the one who was abandoned.
likely feeling even more responsible for Glimmer, Bow, and Angella's lives, a part of it out of immense guilt.
being repeatedly harassed // stalked and assaulted by Catra.
being repeatedly harassed // stalked by Shadow Weaver.
Entrapta's "death". and her betrayal.
being drugged, kidnapped, and essentially nearly "leashed" by Catra.
the Portal. Corrupted Catra. everything.
Angella's sacrifice. with her Atlas complex, there's no way Adora should've been as stable as she was after seeing someone, quite literally, for all she knew, die for her.
Glimmer blaming her. i get it, but it felt like the show quickly made it so that Adora was more upset about not being enough for her than the fact that, y'know, she was the only one blamed for someone's, let alone Angella's, death.
the Heart of Etheria.
Horde Prime's invasion. you cannot convince me she wouldn't feel at least somewhat responsible for that.
Horde Prime telling her, to her face, that Eternia was gone.
Catra being back in her life.
Chipped Catra. no, not for shipping angst reasons.
Catra antagonizing her again, for literally no reason.
Melog being the last of their kind, Adora being the last of hers. maybe not psyche-related, but it certainly should've affected her way more than it did ( which was p much not at all ).
Shadow Weaver. oh, wait, sorry, i forgot that only Catra has trauma related to Shadow Weaver /s.
the Failsafe.
Catra antagonizing her for the umpteenth time, for no reason.
Catra abandoning her, for no reason.
the Failsafe.
but she's just a dumb jock lesbian who's in love with Catra, right? that's alllll that matters. /s.
#spop#she ra#spop critical#spop salt#spop criticism#spop discourse#spop adora#she ra adora#adora#adora deserves better#adora deserved better#spop catra#she ra catra#catra#anti catra#anticatra#anti c//a#anti catradora#anticatradora#adora would've been one of the most tragic well-written “deserves all the happiness in the universe” characters if the writers gave a fuck#i could see her being the ( obviously kinder ) azula of this story#but they just didn't care about her#if i had a nickel for every show that bastardizes and // or underwrites their own main characters i'd have enough to buy a candy bundle#might not be a lot of money but certainly is a lot of protags

concerning fitzmartin's line of tim saying bernard showed him there is more to him than he was settling for and brings out the real me, is that an attack on his past romance and saying he was settling for them or more talking about being queer and discovering that
I mean, I certainly read it as a sort of attack (though I think "attack" might be a bit too strong a word) because Fitzmartin hasn't shown respect for the, out-of-universe, near 30 year long relationship Tim had with a woman or, in fact, the woman in question. Tim breaks up with Stephanie off-panel, we never get her feelings on the matter anywhere and when Fitzmartin does write her, it's as a prop for Timber. I mean just look at this:
Tim Drake Pride Special
and tell me the author cares for or respects Stephanie Brown as a character.
I also resent the implication that Tim couldn't have been his best queer self with Steph because she'd absolutely fully accept him. And he's not gay, he's bisexual, he's still attracted to women.
So why is being with a woman "settling" when he was previously talking about her like this:
Young Justice (2019) #5
Young Justice (2019) #8
Detective Comics (2016) #940
Detective Comics (2016) #963
Tim loved Stephanie. He was in love with Stephanie. She was his last thought before dying and he was committed to a future with her. There wasn't even a hint of a crack in their relationship prior to Urban Legends, in fact, I'd argue they were at the happiest and healthiest they'd maybe ever been.
So yeah, to me, Tim talking about "settling" and not being able to be himself before Bernard is 1) bullshit and 2) an attempt by the author to downplay his previous relationship. I don't really care to give her the benefit of the doubt.
#dc#dc comics#bobbinasks#anon#timsteph#stephanie brown#tim drake#this is NOT about tim being bi i love him being bi#it also isn't necessarily about timber bc i don't really know anything about timber except that the way they came about fucking sucks#which killed all my interest in them on arrival#it isn't even really about them breaking up bc that could've been handled well. MAYBE#it's about fitzmartin being a hack#also sorry if this is disjointed lol i'm sorta tired and i kept forgetting i was writing this#does this count as#fandom wank#or is it more so just#salt#idk lol

on masks
so shockingly miracle mask has huge mask theming in like every aspect. basically every significant character is 'wearing' a mask literally or metaphorically, except for luke who remarks in ludmilla's costume shop that he doesn't think any of the masks suit him (since the events of the previous game luke can be authentically himself now.) this is fun to notice on its own, but there's more to be discussed than just the presence of masks.
every mask in miracle mask backfires on its wearer to some degree! the most obvious case of this is descole and the masked gentleman straight up underestimating their own mask/s and failing to see their plans to the end, and the resulting consequences. dalston and henry's masks of stoicism turn out to have kept them from years of friendship they could have enjoyed, and paint them both as suspects in the masked gentleman case. angela's aloof facade and distance from everyone around her allows her to be kidnapped for a significant portion of the game without anyone but the professor noticing (and even then, he notices that something's up with her, but chalks it up initially as not knowing her anymore). less obviously, emmy's mask only means she'll end up hurting the people she has come to care for even more when the time comes.
most interesting to me, though, is hershel! even as a teen he's remarkably reserved, though clearly passionate. he keeps himself very controlled, and seems to care very much about coming across to others as helpful, grounded, and 'normal'. the interests that we know he has he keeps locked up, literally hidden away in cupboards, not to be acknowledged aloud to himself or others. he never gets angry or ever really displays any stereotypical teen behaviours apart from awkwardness.
now what this means is he is treated as the reliable one who will nonetheless go along with whatever randall wants him to do. he's never particularly assertive (something he will learn to be as an adult) so his willingness is taken for granted. he's put in mortal danger in akbadain because it never occurs to randall that hershel's protests are anything more than for appearance's sake.
and when randall falls and hershel is alone, he yells! he falls to his knees, completely overcome. he cries. he pushes through. and when he reaches angela and henry, alone, covered in dirt, looking completely haunted... they don't even ask him if he's okay. angela bodily shakes him. in the past and present, nobody treats hershel as if he's been through something traumatic - to everyone else, he was either a bystander to or complicit in randall's death, but controlled, mild-mannered and rational hershel is never considered a victim in his own right even after years have passed for everyone to think on it. years after the fact angela apologises to hershel... when she realises she needs his help. and henry immediately accuses him of betraying randall's memory and abandoning him.
and to be clear this isn't me saying oh they're evil or whatever but it's significant that they acknowledge how the trauma affected them and their behaviour from that point forward but it doesn't occur to them that hershel's behaviour and life trajectory was also altered forever! because hershel has for his whole life masked so well that to everyone else he does not have an interior life that isn't puzzle solving.
and the absolute funniest thing about it is that when hershel confesses this all to emmy and luke.... it's immediately back to the investigation, "where do we go now professor!" i'm sure there's no reason to ask if hershel's okay, he's probably unaffected by all that, let's go! readers i laughed out loud. tfw you mask so well everyone forgets you're a person
#take this with a grain of salt since i just finished akbadain got thru all that and then saw luke go okay anyway!#genuinely laughed aloud like damn. we're just gonna move right on past that huh#scribbled this down and am now going back to gaming#wait fuck i hope i don't have the morning shift#thank god i have the late shift okay back to gaming#professor layton#meta#hershel layton#and again this is not any character neg it's just really funny that they're like yeah that whole thing affected me so bad i founded a city#not hershel though i think he's totally fine#miracle mask

i like to think the skins in dandys world are (in universe) references to the cartoon, from special episodes/shorts/scenes/what have you, so the Canon To Me explanation for why the vintage skins look so doo doo and dogwater Not Fucking Period Accurate (capsule toys not existing until the 60s, solo cups and leg warmers the 70s, etc) bc in the cartoon it was maybe just a quick visual gag and nothing more.
i however am an unwell individual with a Forever hyperfixation on this era of cartoons and Will and Have redesigned them to be at least Kinda More period accurate while still resembling the design sensibilities of gardenview and you don’t Know how much it eats at me the things i Did still get wrong. origami while invented in the 6th century(i knew this) was introduced to america in the 50s(i didn’t know this (until recently)). capsule toys were invented in the 60s and i don’t even know when they were introduced to america, assuming that’s even, in-universe, where the cartoon’s company was founded. i can no longer find the comment but someone suggested her re-redesign vintage could be a lucky dip box since that serves generally the same idea of Getting A Random Prize like a gashapon and I really like that and am going to use it. i’m Going to redo scraps and gigi for those aforementioned reasons and additionally I’m going to do connie and looey when they actually come out.
but hey. did you know. hands shaking putting them on your shoulders. balloon animals were invented. in 1939. granted looey barely looks like a proper balloon animal so i don’t really have to sweat this but ooouuugh. ouuughhooooooo you people are pushing it
#words from the monarch#dandys world#‘pushing it’ they already fucked up my whole shit w gigi but looey is just rubbing salt in#/I SAY ALL OF THIS HUMOROUSLY. MY FRUSTRATION IS DIALED UP FOR LAUGHS. GOODNIGHT

Why was there never a Hotel California episode why was there not an episode about a hotel in the middle of nowhere that looks pretty normal at first glance but the food is strangely bland because they don't use salt, and some of the other guests have no idea what year it is, and the staff are strangely insistent that they can't leave right now, and when they look closer all the people there are ghosts that aren't aware they're dead, and the hotel is cursed, and they're trapped in there
#hm i should make an original post tag#spn#yes it's obvious but it would be so fun#idk what the resolution would be. burn the place to the ground? hex bag or cursed object they have to destroy? just fucking run? who knows#all i know is the bland food is dean's first red flag#sam keeps going on about how the place has bad vibes or whatever and dean goes yeah they don't use salt and sam's like how is that relevant#but it IS relevant. take that sammy

The audacity to be like "there's a problem with racism in transandrophobia discussions" while also unironically using the term "transandrophobia truther(s)"
#Jean mumbles#Of course there will almost always be racism in discussions of oppression#But like...bro are you really going to say this and then side with the exact same people#Who have constantly erased and silenced the voices of trans men of color and other marginalized trans men#Calling them shit like white-aligned or overall gatekeeping their blackness#Are you seriously not seeing how that call is coming from inside the house#And again - truther is something that has very heavy ties to antisemitism#So again. Are you really the hero because of this?#Are you actually helping people here?#Now I'm white so obviously take what I say here with as many grains of salt as you feel is best#But all I'm saying is that racism is fucking everywhere and there is not a single group in this discussion who is guilt free#And right now you're participating in the violent act of erasing and silencing the voices of non-white and non-gentile trans men and mascs#I wish the best to anyone who has fallen for this pandering bullshit#And a huge apology to all the trans m&ms this bullshit hurts#Transandrophobia#(Gatekeeping blackness but also just non-white raced and ethnicities in general)

Meeks tries to explain how they color, except it is disjointed because you can’t explain years of color theory and practice in one post.
I wanted to beat the allegations that I only draw warm colors so I made this Javier drawing with cool colors. Okay… well, cooler colors. I will never draw with strictly blue. Dark blue is my enemy.
