FEMC week 2024 day 2: cooking

[scoups4lyfe]

Gavv ep 1 aired this sunday.

Also, hey, how are you?

IT AIRED ALREADY ??!!!

Damn.

I got lost in the sauce. I’ll see if I can do something then,,, 👀

I’ll try around 4pm PDT today to Uh…. 😼

(We’ll see)

As to how I’m doing—

Well, I got the meds I desperately needed to be on for the last few months, and so now I’m back to stability in my life which is great. Been going to Hot Pot a lot, because I’m in my meat 🍖 era. Also going to karaoke 🎤 this Thursday so that’ll be fun. I went like two weeks ago for the first time ever, with my friend, and we enjoyed it so much we decided to go again this week.

Honestly, the fact I like a lot of rap songs nerfed me because I immediately decided to go for it for karaoke. On the plus side I can kill Eminem’s “Without Me” cause I got that shxt memorized LOL! Some other songs I did really well were Papa Roach’s last resort, and Pretty Fly for a White Guy 🕺🕺🕺🕺.

But yeah, honestly I’ve just been chilling lately.

Something I found quite funny is my roommate told me I remind them of Laois from Dungeon Meshi and immediately pulled up a video of him barking like a dog to show me our similarities 😔����🤡🤡🤡🤡🥴.

I’ve been really wanting to get back into tokusatsu because I’ve seen some pics and clips here and there without context and every time im like “Dayum! This shxt looks fire!!”

But I’ve been busy procrastinating writing (the task that has taken up most of my attention) by watching v-tubers 😫.

I need to get back into my drawing practice too tbh, but I’ve been so focused on life and writing and v-tubers that everything gets shot to the wayside.

Here is one of my more recent doodles:

Back to my vtuber distraction—recently there was a GTA VTRP server and both Bettel and Ruze participated in it and I lost so many neurons watching that stuff for like 10 hours each day. The obsession was real, fr fr.

And my echolalia kicked in and I had a stupid southern accent every time I talked, for like, half a day.

Which was equally as embarrassing as my obsession of watching the GTA server LMAO.

Even if no one asks I might post some videos of my favorite moments from the GTA VTRP server, because there were some many good movie-worthy moments 😭😭😭.

I’ve also been waiting for an email from a doll company saying they got my doll and they’re about to ship it out to me considering it’s been Fking

32 WEEKS!!!

Dayum.

🔫🔫🔫

I know it takes like 6 months for the dolls to be made but holy shxt. (For context, I collect ball jointed dolls. It’s a very expensive fking hobby and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone LMAO)

I know the site I ordered from has a good reputation so I’m probably not being scammed—but by God I’m impatient. A terrible trait for a doll collector.

Blah blah blah, honestly I could go on forever about what I’ve been up to but I’m sure y’all don’t want to hear that yapping 🤪🥴.

“nine mutuals you want to know better” tag game!

Tagged by @sarenhale ! I didn't have access to my computer the past couple days so I'm a bit late, but this was a lot of fun!! Thank you for the tag <3

Last Song: lately I've been relaxing to the Hollow Knight OST (City of Tears best track) but in terms of lyrical music, I recently rewatched the music video for "Little Dark Age" by MGMT because its vibes are fucking impeccable and mesmerizing (I can watch it on repeat for hours)

Favorite Color: purple is my go-to answer (especially blue-ish purples), but I also really love dark greens and desaturated earthy colors so much

Last Movie/TV Show: I feel like I haven't been watching movies lately (I'm more of a show person because I like longer form narratives) but I think the last one I watched was "Better Off Dead" while I was visiting my family for the holidays. It was a weird/surreal but good time! As for shows, I finally got around to watching Scavenger’s Reign!! Every aspect was just amazing, especially the worldbuilding and visuals. 2D animation is probably my favorite medium, so I'm really glad we're seeing more animation for adults that wants to tell a story instead of being a delivery device for lame sex jokes and cringe humor. OH ALSO DUNGEON MESHI!!! For a lot of the same reasons! Excited to watch the new episode tonight :>

Sweet / Spicy / Savory: I have a HUGE sweet tooth, so if I had to pick one, that would be it. Savory foods are great and I love them, I just have a leftover "now's your chance!" impulse from not being allowed much sugar as a kid that I can't seem to get rid of. I'm also weak to the "I deserve a lil treat" trap if I've got a bunch of sweet snacks around, so I have to be careful. As for spicy….I am SO completely unable to handle spicy food it’s almost funny, but really it’s just tragic because I LOVE cuisines known for being spicy, like mexican and thai. If I eat out, I always have to be like “can you please make it mild?” and even then, if it's not seasoned for the babiest of babies, my mouth will burn and my weak, white-person tummy will hurt.

Relationship Status: I keep forgetting I’m getting married in less than six months. My partner and I got engaged like two years ago and have lived together for almost five, so my brain just defaults to "there’s probably a guy nearby" and doesn’t think much deeper on it than that.

Last thing I googled: "morels" because I was discussing mushrooms with my friend and those are some cool lookin' guys! Shaggy ink caps too!

Current Obsession: …….One Piece 😅 I was a big fan as a teen but only got as far as the Skypiea arc before I fell off reading/watching it. The hype over the new live action version reminded me the series existed, so I’ve been not so slowly making my way through again, picking up where I left off. I love how absolutely bonkers, there-are-no-rules, anime-ass-anime it is, but also how genuine and heartfelt it can be. I also enjoy how character-driven so much of the plot is which works because of how interesting the characters are (Chopper, Robin, and Franky are my favs). I just got to the timeskip, so I’m maybe…halfway through? between this and BG3, RIP my free time lol

Last Book: I've been reading through Seiji Yoshida's "Houses with a Story" (slowly, because I want to really take it in and savor it) and it's been a delight. Very relaxing and inspiring :> (up next, I finally got copies of the Locked Tomb series, so soon I will be enjoying The Space Lesbians)

Looking forward to: Being able to organize and enjoy my "new" office space after some hectic days! My partner and I realized we barely spend any time in our bedroom except for sleeping, so we swapped my office into the bigger room in our apartment! There were some complications with getting the internet working on my PC, but we finally got it all smoothed out. Now I finally have all my books and sewing/crafting/creative stuff in one place without it feeling cramped or hiding things away in storage :>

Thank you again for the tag! I'm tagging @justagoos, @icicleteeth, @lunarliart, @saltsparkle, @fael-draws, @juliedillon, @ninamodaffari, @crabdominalpain, and the final slot for anyone else who wants to join in - but please don't feel obligated, this is just for fun! :>

🧡❄️ I mean I wouldn’t mind some longer fic recs ;) I think the chances of me reading anything are 50/50 regardless of length, so just recommend away!

And nice! Let me know if you get any of them and what you think of them <3 (I really wish I didn’t have to be on anon because I’ve been really enjoying talking to you and I feel like it would be so much easier if we could just DM…one day…when December rolls around…)

Anyway: Klara and the Sun: absolutely. I had to read a bunch of Kazuo Ishiguro for different classes and I always enjoy his stuff. Have you read Never Let Me Go? It’s technically sci-fi, and it’s one of the saddest books I’ve ever read. Very, very good, but so god damn heartbreaking.

Love, love, love Studio Trigger. I got into them because of Dungeon Meshi, then watched Promare because it looked really intriguing. I really wanna check out the rest of their stuff as well because it all looks so good and I think I would really love it…just gotta find the time lol.

Pacific Rim: Love it! Been forever since I watched it and I should probably rewatch it soon. Also love Guillermo del Toro. Such a cool dude and his stuff is amazing (still need to watch more of his works but yeah. Love GdT). 

I have heard of the murderbot diaries and they do sound fun. I’ve got too many books on my tbr already, but I’ll try to keep them in mind. Same for all the anime/manga recs. They sound really good and I’ll try to make at least Pluto a priority! (podcasts are unfortunately not really my thing, but I heard of that one and it’s supposed to be good, so, glad you enjoyed it!)

Trigun: Watched it, loved it, almost mentioned it in my previous ask and then decided to just stick to robots with my recommendations. I absolutely adore the kind of run down, in this case almost western sci-fi vibes (early Star Wars has it too…love it when things are a little dirty and a bit gritty) and that’s definitely an aesthetic I’m thinking of bringing to the Secret Snowflake fic ;) 

And speaking of that kind of aesthetic, can’t believe I forgot to mention Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. It’s the novella that Bladerunner is based on (in case you don’t know that already) and I thought it was really interesting? It’s more noir in its grittiness, but the way it considers the humanity of androids (and really any dehumanized group that they basically stand in for) really stuck with me. 

Lastly re EVA and the Kaworu figurine: I feel ya. I really want a build kit for Unit-01, and while I found one that’s only like 40 euros, that’s a reissue and so won’t come out until march. Which is soooo long still >_< Gimme my girl now! …anyway, do you wanna hear about my aftg eva au? Because that’s all I could think of while I was watching the og anime asdfgh

…this ask is all over the place lol, but thank you for all the recommendations! I love getting recs, so no need to apologize! And I hope you have a good night (or rather good morning, since that’s probably when you’ll read this because it’s late now and you seem to be European like me)! ❄️🧡
