For anyone else who was wondering about the cooking of the shrimp, cos searching "lemon cooks shrimp" was pulling up less explanations and more recipes for grilling shrimp with lemon, personally

[officialspec]

can you pleeeeease post your dm sexuality/gender hcs on here.... 🥺 i don't have a twitter but i wanna know. it's like a pandora's box to me now i'm like scratching at the door. let me in

heres the link 2 the thread (mild spoilers btw) ill post a transcript under the cut for ppl who dont have twitter

first off i think laios relationship to sex is super removed for like 50 reasons without even getting into his actual sexuality

he grew up in a place with very repressed ideas about sex and has a lot of fear about asserting his presence in situations

his special interest takes precedent over any social interactions he has and the level of closeness he feels towards people

he has a hard time figuring out his feelings towards other people both bc hes autistic and bc he has freaky deviantart fetishes that make sex in his mind a very abstract concept <- this one is me projecting mostly

that aside, i feel like gender-wise hes attracted to ppl so infrequently it may as well be entirely case-by-case

the idea of him being gay appeals to me from the 'raised with traditional values he Does Not fit into/hasnt begun to question it yet' perspective, i lauve characters who put a lot of stock into performing a role thats expected of them and fail miserably for unknown (gay) reasons

from his perspective tho i dont think he would ever really label himself anything. hes going to pride parades in the shirt+shorts Ally Fit to clap for his friends

hes also 'cis by indifference' imo... i love tmasc laios hcs it just doesnt mesh w his personal history to me. i do think hes got some kind of therian gender thing going on (not trans or nb but a secret third thing) but i cant see him changing anything abt his appearance/pronouns to accommodate that post-canon. hes just doin his thang

falin is in a similar boat for gender. i LOOVE tfem falin but the village repression thing has been bugging at me so i dont think i subscribe to it anymore (canon purist sorry) BUT if u hold that hc i am clapping and cheering regardless

instead i was propagandised to a while back and i LOVEEE the idea that being fused w a male dragon and the residual traits she has after being revived have given her a type of gender euphoria she didnt realise she was missing. a little boygirl swagger if u will

sexuality-wise i also dont think she would care to label herself, shes a lesbian by virtue of only being interested in One woman and zero other people. without marcille i do think shes still exclusively attracted to women, and i like to imagine she might experiment around a bit during her travels post-canon (pre-relationship). hearing abt it might put marcille on the news though

marcille is very simple That is a transfem lesbian. she cant get pregnant, shes obsessed w being femme and all that combined w her half-tallman struggles to be seen as 'properly feminine' by elf standards reads very transfeminine to Me. also her bookboy crush REEKS of comphet its not subtle

i think a more comfortable marcy might have the space to experiment w being elf butch like her manga boys but thats mainly self indulgence for me. utena could have saved her

senshi is gay his whole thing is abt not being able to perform dwarven masculinity to a proper standard (soft hearted, not as strong or rugged as his peers) which is like gaycoding 101. also hes a bear. homosexuality be damned by boy can work a grill

adding onto this i rly think senshi got some type of euphoria from being an elf in the changeling chapters. he was feeling himself so much i think he was using it as an outlet to have fun being a little fem and fruity without needing to justify it. do u understand

i dont have any particular opinions abt him gender-wise beyond that. his bulge is an essential part of his character design but i also saw a transmasc senshi a couple days ago that made me nod my head thoughtfully so i could go either way

chilchuck is cis and bisexual this is just canon. not even just his old man crush on senshi altho i do think thats very funny but they put his ass on a cover themed like hes in a dating sim with all the men and women in the cast and then slapped it in front of a chapter called "bicorn". i simply cant pass up that kind of overt signaling. its so fucking funny what else is there to say truly

izu to ME is a transmasc aroace lesbian (this one has the least basis in canon i just know it to be true) shes a little genderfluid with it nd uses he/she i think. i like to imagine she consistently uses masculine personal pronouns to refer to herself either way tho (boku, ore)

i think izutsumis gender/sexuality is entirely secondary in priorities to her body dysphoria. she has a lot of learning and acceptance 2 do before that kind of self discovery is on the docket and in my mind eschewing gender on some level is part of that. get sillay

shuro is cishet but at least he feels bad about it. next listen listen to me i dont think he would ever actually examine this but i need u to put on ur tin foil hat with me for one second. i think estrogen could have saved her. i have more thoughts on this but im not gonna propagandise too much on this post just know that im right

kabru is a transmasc bisexual this is also practically text. his whole thing of being treated like a doll by milsiril to put in pretty dresses, plus i think it would be pretty easy for him to stealth in the west since tallmen are seen as inherently more masculine than elves

(i also think changing genders is just more common for elves. theyre androgynous enough that it wouldnt be hard and like who in their right miiiiind would be the same gender for 500 years. dwarves too)

i think he started presenting as male socially in the west but didnt need to consider medical transition until he moved to a more mixed culture where other races might see him as a woman

i dont have to explain the bisexual part. have u seen him

namari is a butch bisexual this is just canon straight up. shes not transmasc but i think the default settings for dwarven women is like 4 years of T regardless. shes a hit at all the local cruising spots despite her renfaire nerdisms i know this

and just bc im thinking abt em kiki and kaka are identical and kiki is tfem :} theyre both attracted to women but kaka is a sub so i forgive him

THATS ALL 4 NOW theres a lot of characters so i cant have thoughts abt all of them at once but i hope this was good. im right about everything forever as per usual

[shut-up-rabert]

Damn grill ty for the tag🥺 u too @suvarnarekha <3

16) the respect we give to people? I don’t know, I love the way we have the right blend of formality and casuality when calling strangers uncle/auntie when soeaking with them, or the way we casually teach children to have formal greetings when the western word has long since shed it.

17) back on my old fandom blog, I was mindlessly searching for tags such as Hindu and indian because I was half sure I will find misinfo about something (The farmer’s protest and Kashmir files were big bacjkthen) and @mirabelmadrigirl rb’d a post of mine regarding Kashmir Hindu Genocide, tagging it #desiblr. That was the beginning of my descend down the rabbit hole.

18) Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachhan, Shashi Kapoor, Kishore Kumar, and well, most of them actually :) Speaking of actresses, the first name that comes to mind is Katrina, because while I know she is not exceptional in any way but her being a part of lot of my favourite ventures has made me biased. Deepika, Madhubala, Parveen Babi and Smita Patil are love aswell.

19) Andaaz Apna Apna. Nothing exceptional, but you can get a refund from me if you don’t spill your guts out laughing.

20) Kadhi Chawal. The memory is kind of similar to the one I mentioned regarding the casettes and incense one: coming home in summer to find myself watching TV and eating my favourite dish. It had the right amount of spices and sweetness without any actual veggies in it or a runny oily broth, which is why it won from Rajma Chawal for me.

21) Can’t think of any right now but MSD: the untold story is one I watch everytime its on Tv

22) I don’t know about many Sarees but whats that bright one with a coloured and shiny blouse and a cummerband, the one which is all shiny and sparkly and makes u look like a princess? I think its either Kanchivaram aur Benarasi, but I’m not sure :/

23) Lehengas make me feel a whole another layer of Royal(ly ungraceful)

24) Ramayan by Valmiki, Ramcharitmanas by Goswami Tulsidas, Shreemad Bhagvad Geeta (recited by Shree Krishan and recorded by Ved Vyas via Shree Ganesh)

25) Uttar Kand (because that’s all it is to me, a myth)

26) Pooja and hymns and chanting the sacred name. Decorating yhe house at Diwali and wearing the beautiful dresses exclusive to us :’)

27) Bhabhiji Ghar par hai, Ishqbaaz (b4 it became shitty), Saraswatichandra(same as prev.), Ramayan, both mahabharats

28) haven’t watched any, idk why I do this but webseries aren’t my thang in general.

29) Imma be biased here and say the Shree Ram temple. Yes, the same one that hasn’t been made yet. But if we talking like the older ones I guess I’ll go with the Rameshwaram temple because of the pillar jilted verandas which give me a feeling of tranquility and Godliness.

30) Treta Yug— okay, I’ll stop being religious for a moment and say the Mauryan period and the Rajputana period ;-; of course I have a special place in heart for 2000s but that would not be too old now would it?

31) Given my Kshatria lineage I would most probably be a princess or a duchess equivalent. Either ways I get to read ancient scriptures, learn vedic math and science and holding a sword so yay :)

32) Goswami Tulsidas. His Chaupais bring tears to my eyes simply because ;-33)Summer, nothing better than pools and icecream

34) Japanese culture has felt sisterly to me. Their summer festival tends to remind me of the street fair we have every monsoon on our village peer shrines. Medivial Middle east, while the religions were infant has seemed cozy aswell. The picture of the manger always soothed me.

35) The one regarding how Holi originated in Vrindavan. Its a small telling but I love it<3

I think most of my moots have already done this so open tag :)

‘’People can take everything away from you but they can never take away your truth.....

But the question is can you handle mine?

They say i’m crazy’’.......

Can you pick a song that is a perfect reflection of where you are in your life today?

I know what a random question I actually asked this question to my niece and cousin and they looked at me confused the question was definitely left field or maybe it was all the bud lights we drank under the hot Long Beach NJ sun lol.

However the question was easy for me to answer in fact a quote from the song is right in the beginning of what you are reading. For the past few weeks I was blasting the Britney Spears remake of My Prerogative and everyone around me family and friends thought I was going crazy or I was bipolar.......you know what thinking about it now it makes sense why for the first time they were seeing me with my guards down not caring and being the true me dressing how I want, Saying and doing what I wanted questionable behavior lol....

At 31 y.o I found myself in a rebel phase it got to the point if anyone told me what to do I would get so fired up.....So I needed to analyze this to understand why...

For so long or should I say my whole life I was told what to do, how to dress, who I can or should speak with, where I can go.....My mother who I love dearly and I know she only wants the best for me and to be happy, healthy, successful does not see the damaged being over protected has done to me as well as my partner a man I been with since I was 18. Everything in my life was handled for me all my mother wanted from me really was to graduate high school and go straight to work. I never really got to explore my talents, my passions, I can remember not being allowed to go on school trips because she was scared,,,,,,,,Could you believe Ive spent my whole life in NYC and never went to the Statue Of Liberty ? I wanted to go to FIT for fashion design and couldn't attend because it was in a different borough. Now this is not a blame game either because as a parent now my self I can understand some of her fears but I do believe in fate what is meant to be will be and her old school values or views I do not agree with.....Similar situations with my Partner since I was 18 i had to work and take care of responsibilities.... I give him credit though for making me the man I am but every time I wanted to spend time on creative work that I loved it was looked at as a waist of time and caused arguments so I gave up but now I know he just did not get it and people will never understand your art and whats in your mind but keep in mind everything around us cars, buildings, fashion, it was all a vision of a created mind and then created for us to enjoy....

So I had my breaking point and doing the most so every one got the message clear.....I do love what my mother showed me and that was LOVE much of love and if you know me I would do anything for family and friends but it was time to do something for me and the idea of this BLOG came to mind to showcase every thing I love....Like below I provided my SOOO GAY playlist thats gets me through life lol ...

Houston’s rappers were just as hype as everyone else when the Astros won the World Series

You already know the flexing was going to come in droves as Houston brought home its first title.

The franchise has been around since 1962, and for the first time, the Astros are world champions.

The culture of Houston, much like Atlanta and New York and Los Angeles is fiercely intertwined with that of its Hip Hop artists. They tell the real stories of the city in their own ways. In the early 2000s, the rest of America got a full dose of Houston’s rap scene thanks to hit singles by Paul Wall and Mike Jones.

Wall was beside himself after the game.

#WorldSeriesGrillz

A post shared by Paul Wall The Po Up Poet (@paulwallbaby) on Nov 1, 2017 at 9:00pm PDT

“World Series grills, World Series grills,” Wall screams in delirium.

Wall told our Charlotte Wilder that he’s really into sports.

Paul Wall and Johnny Dang supply grillz to many of Houston’s athletes, including Arian Foster, Duane Brown and his wife Devon (or “Devvy Dev,” as Paul Wall calls her), and Andre Johnson. I ask if they’ve made J.J. Watt a grill, and Paul Wall says that they haven’t, but that Watt definitely needs one. They’ve also made Venus and Serena Williams grillz, and Shaq has a Paul Wall special, too. I ask if there’s anyone Paul Wall hasn’t made a grill for that he thinks needs one.

“I’m a huge baseball fan,” he says. “Roger Clemens. That’s my boy. We gotta get Roger a grill. Put the word out, man.”

Mike Jones (who?) has a single to promote amidst the celebration.

Jones live-weeted Game 7 with the soundcloud link to his new song. He promises a remix after the game, too.

08/18/17 - Bar None

LMAO do I even want to talk about this night though....that is the question 🙃

spent the most amazing/relaxing day at Bowen Island with Ikjot and Dina...I LOVE MY BEST FRIENDS Y’ALL. 

went straight to getting ready as soon as we got in our motel room

...and also went straight into our Rosés, ciders and our muthafuckin’ Tequilaaaaaa shots 

LOL @ our ghetto ass knife for our limes, but praise Iggy for making it work 

let’s just say...the alcohol literally played fucked with my emotions tonight.

after getting those screenshots from Ally, I got in a bummy mood so I decided to drink some more to take my mind off of it...L O L wrong move, Ballsack. 

when you’re lowkey telling Iggy about the screenshots, and Dina calls us out for whispering from the bathroom...like bruh when was your hearing as great as mine?? 

lit level at 9/10- just before leaving, I get a call from Ace asking what Nick’s last name was...and the first thing I asked was “IS MICHAEL GOING.” “Of course.” 🙄🙃😶💢 for. fucks. sakes. 

ended up stepping out for some fresh air, but Iggy followed me...which in turn, became a crying session for myself 

thought I was ready to face Mike- lol nope

really didn’t want to get hurt by JB- lol yikes 

again, this was the alcohol. I swear. 

ENDED UP BAWLING LIKE A MOTHER FUCKING BITCH ON THE WAY TO BAR NONE. 

again x2, this was the alcohol. 

jk it was 1/2 me too 

*SIGH*

ofc as soon as we get to the line up of Bar None, the first person I saw was Mike...but he ran off as soon as he saw me....lol 

*spoiler* the prick kept running away every time he saw me for the duration of the night

....????? are you a fucking bitch, or are you a fucking bitch tho???? hmm? Idiot. 

u just mad cause u infected and I know about it 🤷🏽‍♀️

ASIDE from that nonsense...YO GIRL HAD A BOMB ASS TIME LOL

lost Dina and Iggy at one point for what felt like an hour but decided to leave them to their own thang cause I was lit 

LOL @ the birthday boy for bouncing at 12-1am due to his liver giving up on him (s/o to Aldin for updating a homegirl)

also s/o to Aldin & Adam for the drinks!! 

it was literally Nick’s entire squad/WS/Burnaby South down at Bar None tonight....bruh. 

reunited with Aldin and Nelly!! 

danced with Ace, Ryan, Nelly and...Karn..lmao 

bitch was all up in my grill, why tho? FOH. 

no seriously, fuck. outta. here. 

lost my pandora ring and I’m ngl, I’m genuinely sad 😭

left with the gals and Dunc around 2:30ish and the rest, is history. 

...literally. Let’s try to not re-live this night and the events afterward shall we 🙂🙏🏼

G2G!!! 

- m.d.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARBER NICK! 😊

tbh I don’t even know how to start this night

it was a fun day at Bowen

everything was fun especially because I didn’t have to lie to my parents about anything!

PHEW! BIGGEST RELIEF OF MY LIFE. (even though I had to take weird ass pics with Dina and May all day and night)

anyways I was planning on getting shittered because of this!

so we have: 

TEQUILA, CIDERS, AND ROSÉS. HELLURRR

so we start drinking to find out ppl who we don’t want there are GONNA BE THERE...bye. (the name that shan’t be named)

anyways May and I were also caught whispering heheheh

as well as getting in trouble by stepping out to talk when Dina could’ve joined haha!

ANYWHO

I’M DRUNK 

ALL MY PHOTOS HAVE DRUNK EYES

SO YEAH.

Dina had a “good buzz going on”

keep in mind I’ve been taking shots alone in the bathroom too 🙄😂

Duncan shows up and helped with our photoshoot

then we headed down!

saw Tyus and EJ across the street

*spoiler alert* Dina dances with EJ

GREAAAAATTT

the night was good!

a lot of people showed up, which was cool

Nick was gone by 12 and puking in the car 😕

Karn was up every girl’s ass

....including my bestfrands.

sooo yeah. Ticked me off a little bit, so I went MIA but no one besides Duncan came looking for me, and yeah...don’t really wanna get into that. 

got into a shitty mood

Dina came out and gave me a pep talk, and told me to make the most of the night and what I had left, since THIS LITERALLY NEVER HAPPENS.

so I did. It was fun I wasn't as buzzed anymore I guess the crying took that away 

LMAO KILL ME!

#teamcrying not #teampuking

yeah I had fun!

May danced with 2-3 guys tbh I can’t remember

Dina...yenno that story already.....

Geordie actually danced with Kaltrina! The rest of the night was fun!

HONESTLY I GOTTA MENTION ONE LAST THING THOUGH.

SHOUT OUT to Teaser for coming and sticking it out the entire night on the couches alone

YOU DO YOU BOO BOO. 😛😛😛

- i.b.
