“killing off deeply traumatized character that was so close to happiness and healing after all they have been through is bad writing” is such a deeply unserious criticism and so many of you keep pretending like it isnt

Did you guys know Capri sun was populair in 1990's. Did you guys know. That that's. You know. Relevant. For when you're writing a fic in a setting around that time. That people could just be casually drinking capri sun. This is brought by the fact that I've drank like 10 of them today (the orange one).

No, of course I'm not planning for Tom to one day be drinking capri sun in my fic. Perish the THOUGHT. I'm NOT predictable!!! (I so am. I'm canonizing this in my fic. No one can stop me. Dakota is gonna be like wow my favorite pouch drink and introduce Tom to the really difficult straw stabbing pouch drink. And Tom would be annoyingly good at getting the straw in the pouch at the first try.). Man. I love the power I wield.

Austria in bed with France be like: Ughhh fuck me like how you fucked up my empire 😫😫

IM PUTTING YOU IN TIMEOUT ANON 🫵 ‼️

WHO ALLOWED THIS

in all seriousness I'm HOWLING please it's such a peculiar situation that had HRE not been dissolved the house of Austria would remain that, a nobility house of the Habsburg family producing one emperor after the next

It was only after the dissolution that they proclaimed themselves Austrian empire

The hate fuck for France and Austria goes hard I'm so sure

I want to love and support postal service workers during this stressful time. And I do. However it's hard when they do some things

I have a life-long goal to recreate (at home) the food I eat in restaurants. and one of the sub-goals of that big goal is to get good at making vegan ramen broth. there are three vegan ramens from 3 different restaurants I've been trying to recreate and tonight, I think I cracked the code. there is room for improvement, but it dawned on me that two of the three restaurants almost CERTAINLY use tomato, which I haven't tried in my homemade recipes before tonight. tonight I also added homemade almond milk INSTEAD of coconut milk and it definitely has the flavor profile I was looking for. I also added yellow squash to my broth and I think it helped balance out the other vegetables.

Overall I used:

Handful of shiitake mushrooms, cut in strips, added to the hot pan (without oil) to release moisture and cook. Then I added a generous amount of olive oil and...

One large white onion, two bulbs of garlic, one bunch of celery, four large carrots (all chopped) (salt added) -> cooked until reduced

Then I added water, brought it up to heat, simmered for about 30 min and added:

Two yellow squash (chopped), 6 campari tomatoes (blended in water), added ginger powder, more salt, pepper, soy sauce). Then simmered for an hour.

At the end I added sesame oil, homemade almond milk (almonds blended in water and strained), and chili oil

And for now, I think it's one of my most successful broths, without requiring homemade/store-bought vegetable broths or bouillon

i don't like season three when viewing it as a continuation of seasons one and two, but i do very much like season three when viewing it as the prequel to seasons four and five... hmmmmm.

It always seems a bit unbalanced on The Great Food Truck Race when there will be multiple teams who are cooking a wide variety of complex dishes with 10 different components and a bunch of prep work, and then there's that one team who like... exclusively serves plain crepes with some premade nutella on them, or plain waffles with just some whipped cream and cut up strawberries lol...

on one hand I wanna write my fic ideas wherein my marvel oc gets sent to the alternate universe of Gotham and hijinks ensue whilst she tries to survive and get back and the batfam and such slowly learn more info abt her world and how it's being threatened atm and she needs to go back and help and whatnot.

But on the other hand, the readers wouldn't know the marvel related backstory of this OC and would have. No context for her going in

But ALSO then the readers would know abt as much abt this mysterious figure as the batcrew do, and get to learn via flash backs and her slowly revealing info to them as safety allows

Then there's also just a general. Idk if there's any sort of oc etiquette when it comes to writing oc centered fics? My brain goes so hogwild when I read anything that I usually avoid oc fics other people write just bc I usually read and enjoy fics at face value but I also go "now what would happen if this OC was here?" And that gets real complicated when other people's ocs are involved

so i bought a record player and not to suddenly turn into this huge music snob or w/e the fuck but like. as much as i will die defending streaming music (bc there IS something to be said for having literally any music at your fingertips! digital downloads are valid! really fucking hate the way older millenials+ will complain about streaming like it destroyed music) like no one is wrong to say that there really is something different about physical music. like. turning records is different than streaming. putting a little cd in a cd player is different than streaming. something something the connection of physicality really does make the practice of interacting with art different. not better necessarily but different in a visceral way.

YOU VOTED FOR SPEAK NOW.....

NOT EVEN THE KENDRICK VERSION YOU HAD TO PICK THE BAD ONE AGDKAGJ

[dragon-in-a-fez]

something you don't learn until you get really far into the making and tinkering life is that there's no such thing as "glue" really. there are so many kinds of substances that stick other substances together and they are all very different and if you just go look at the adhesives aisle in the hardware store the packaging never actually tells you anything useful. it's like "this is SUPER T-REX POWER GLUE" and the fine print says "good for use on wood metal and plastic". okay. but WHICH PLASTICS MY GOOD BITCH,

because SURPRISE, there's no such thing as "plastic" either. every kind of wood is basically the same on a chemical level, but the only thing every plastic has in common is "some of its molecules are long" and that is NOT a quality that determines how things stick together.

I just ordered some stuff I hope will permanently stick a circuit board to a steel sheet and withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees. by the way circuit boards are made of epoxy-bound woven glass cloth which is cool as hell but what the fuck do you glue that with? can any of the 12 kinds of adhesives I currently own do that? no of course not. if I want to stick two pieces of acrylic together so hard they become watertight to a depth of 3000 metres I have some shit that does that, but it does literally nothing else.

anyway. once you start learning how many kinds of sticking things together there are, the people at 3M start to seem like witches and I don't know if they're the kind we can trust with that level of arcane knowledge

My old trainer: I barely did anything to help your phone skills, Charcuterie.

Me, diagnosed with a social anxiety disorder since half a decade and zero social skills before I started working:

My boss, during my last review: I'm not saying you're not enough for me, I'm just saying, if your old trainers casually mention a trainee is struggling to find a placement... There's an office I could nab. A two person office. On the nicer side of the building. Quiet. View of the art yard. I'll make it happen. 🙏

Assistant manager: Do you still have that phone package you use? Had a backup since your traineeship. It's not proprietary or confidential? Could you print out a copy for every new health hire we got in the last year? 👀 Mine's somehow not working for them.

Nursing coworker starting phones: Charcuterie? The ones who started in health say they got a phone package from you. Is it okay if I just photocopy what's relevant to me from that, or can you maybe get me one, too? 🥺
