Definitely not as pretty, but! I see your Naruto would want me to brush my teeth and raise you Nyasu/Meowth would want me to eat a balanced meal.

just bought a pumpkin and rocket salad for tomorrows lunch and it has feta cheese and balsamic vinegar and im really excited 😋

[spineconsumer]

My official review of the Lidl babyleaf salad is they use too much rocket. If I wanted my baby leaf salad to taste like pepper I'd add it myself.

do you have a favourite portrayal of a character in the gotg game!! who is it and why <3

Oh I think they're all great honestly!!! Part of why I love the game so much is that genuinely, the whole team + supporting characters are written with such obvious love of the source material and equal attention between them all. When I see comments of people saying who their favorite character was from the game and the answer always being different from each person I'm like!! That's how it SHOULD be!!! They're the Guardians of the Galaxy (plural) the focus shouldn't all fall on a singular character like most other GotG media usually ends up as 😭

The two (sorry I can't pick just one) whom I think benefit the most from the game though are Drax and Gamora because they're almost always sidelined both in-and-out of universe by most of the various writers (especially as of late) and in turn the viewers/readers. I've been told plenty of times that they're the most boring members of the "main" team, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY! The amount of love the game versions get (by the few who've played it at least) proves that 🥺

I've never really liked 616 Drax shifting to being a complete clown during the 90s and such (and even less so when the MCU followed along 💀) So I appreciate the game taking a bit of his seriousness from the DnA run and just making him struggle with nuance and context clues in a less exaggerated way (autistic Drax I still believe in u) and I feel the focus put on him and how losing his original family + the aftermath deeply affected him hits pretty hard here because it's treated very seriously and shown in depth, especially with how his family (wife) gets actual focus. I cannot tell you anything about Yvette in comparison to Hovat, who actually seemed to have had a personality lol (AND she was on their village's council like omg imagine having more to you than just being The Housewife) Though I will say I flip and flop on my thoughts about Heather being disconnected from Drax's life in this universe... The TLDR is that I think his arc here specifically works stronger when he has to come to terms with losing his entire family and accepting the life he currently has with the Guardians. BUT!!! I very much appreciate that Heather is still confirmed to exist within this universe, even if that means her dad issues would have to be dealt with in a different context if we ever get to see her.

Also? Shoutout to the writers actually bringing up the intense paranoia that always kneecapped 616 Drax but having that be a turning point in his backstory here, with that conversation he has with Peter where he talks about how he was becoming so paranoid of everyone being a chitauri/Thanos conspirator to the point of literally turning into an obsessed maniac like Thanos, and realizing that he desperately needed to turn his life around, it's so ough.

Out of the already many great conversations throughout the game, I think the ones with him are the most poignant. My favorite scene in the whole game is Drax and Pete's little moment on Knowhere... makes me go wahhh

(l also love that out of everyone on the team, it's his headspace that we quite literally get to go into. You KNOW that if this was any other media it'd be going into Rocket or Groot's head and likely treated as a joke.)

And oh my god, Gamora...

I find it so extremely refreshing that her role in the plot doesn't revolve purely around the men in her life, and instead, it's nearly exclusively her connection with other women. Or in the most direct obstacle she has to deal with, being how she starts projecting to the millionth degree on Nikki's situation for reminding her of what happened to her and Nebula. I find that infinitely more fascinating as a reading of her character rather than just dating drama or her arc getting completely overtaken by a man's instead.

And especially in her friendship with Mantis, who, despite having all these futures she's constantly seeing and having to navigate, still makes time to do her best to help her 🥺 From saving her life and being the one who put her on the path to healing on Lamentis, to getting her to join the Guardians and still checking in on her when she's able 😭 Friendship between women can be so powerful... u love to see it (🏳️‍🌈)

I also find it nice that there's this emphasis on her recovering mentally, and the comparison between Thanos essentially teaching her to just Deal with the shit in her life through very simplistic meditation versus the priests of Pama actually teaching her something to help soothe the mind :^( and that she still has moments of relapsing essentially. I find that to be a realistic take on recovery because that's just part of the journey since healing is not linear... and I think it's very sweet that she finds comfort in collecting something ---girly--- like dolls. Love to see a person reclaim a part of their childhood that they weren't allowed to experience. And how she's allowed to make BAD JOKES?? Imagine a woman being written to have multiple dimensions, crazy and absolutely unthinkable, I know.

There's this extremely specific theme in relation to Gamora across media that's been rattling around in my brain since first playing the game. When near the end during the revisit to Knowhere, she's about to completely lose it when Peter tries talking -for- her on what she's so upset about before immediately shooting him down, and she explains what happened between her and Nebula and she starts crying. It really struck me right then that she's never given a moment to cry elsewhere (or in the 616's case, the quite literal inability to.) aside from her shedding a Single Manly Tear (Original Sin) or a single moment out of legit fear (MCU 💀) because she's a hashtag Strong Independant Woman who can't be vulnerable etc etc. But for her to cry in front of the people she's come to care about, It gives her a moment of true vulnerability that I don't think she's allowed ever in most other media.

That and all of the above hits hard and is what makes me genuinely believe that the writers cared about her in the narrative and tried to do right by her when every other bit of media really hasn't nor cared to the majority of the time since the 90s :'^/ Brings a tear to my eye that she's allowed to just... exist in the narrative on her own merits and not on what she can provide to someone else's story.

Sałata z ośmiornicą, pomidorkami, oliwkami, kaparami, rukolą i dzikim ryżem

Jeśli wciąż nie odważyliście się skonfrontować z ośmiornicą w kuchni, to postaram się Was do tego przekonać.

Nie jest to wszak spotkanie z Krakenem, legendarnym gigantycznym potworem morskim o fizjonomii kałamarnicy, tylko szybkie i bezkolizyjne przygotowanie niewielkiego głowonoga.

Ośmiornica jest delikatna, miękka i nieco gumowata w strukturze, zaś w smaku przypomina kalmary lub przegrzebki. Nie wymaga szczególnej obróbki, ani ekwilibrystycznych sztuczek. Jeśli jest świeża, wystarczy ją delikatnie ugotować lub kupić gotową do spożycia.

Najczęściej jej mięsiste macki trafiają do sałat, duszonych warzyw (pomidory, ciecierzyca, fasola), makaronów i risott. Córka mórz i oceanów lubi się z przyziemnymi ziemniakami, zarówno gotowanymi, jaki i smażonymi lub pieczonymi. Często jest grillowana, podobnie jak inne owoce morza (ach, moja pamięć węchowa już zaprowadziła mnie na chorwackie wyspy, do tamtejszych owianych dymnym aromatem tawern... mrrr...).

Tymczasem u mnie ośmiornica wylądowała na talerzu wraz z pomidorkami, oliwkami, kaparami, cebulą, rukolą i dzikim ryżem. Wyrazistości dodał jej czosnek z oliwą z oliwek i sokiem z cytryny.

Ciekawa jestem czy Wam to połączenie przypadnie do gustu?

Składniki:

2/3 szklanki dzikiego ryżu ok. 250 g macek ośmiornicy (gotowanych) duża garść rukoli garść pomidorków koktajlowych pół szklanki oliwek (zielonych lub czarnych) 2 łyżki kaparów 1/2 cebuli 2 ząbki czosnku kilka łyżek oliwy z oliwek e.v. 1-2 łyżki soku z cytryny łyżeczka suszonego oregano sól i czarny pieprz do smaku

Wykonanie:

Dziki ryż gotuje się długo, ok. 30-40 minut, więc zacząć od niego. W małym garnku zagotować wodę, osolić, wsypać ryż i zająć się resztą.

Cebulę i czosnek obrać. Cebulę pokroić w cienkie półplasterki. Czosnek zmiażdżyć płaską stroną noża i maksymalnie rozdrobnić.

Macki pokroić na kawałki ok. 2 cm. Pomidorki opłukać i przeciąć na połówki.

Ugotowany ryż odcedzić na sicie.

Do miski wlać oliwę, sok z cytryny, wsypać przyprawy i dodać ośmiornicę. Wymieszać i odczekać 5-7 minut. Dorzucić resztę składników i delikatnie wymieszać.

Wykładać na talerze. Podawać z cząstką cytryny i pieczywem. Konsumować w towarzystwie lub solo.

Hi! Dropping by to say thank you so much for sharing the Zheng Chenggong / FSR Archer post a while back, there were a lot of good thoughts on there! I'm also,,, massively biased for both of them but especially Zheng Chenggong (read a lot of history articles + a book or two on him,,), so it's cool to see someone who feels similarly on here haha

AAAA THIS IS SO SWEET THANK YOU !! SAME HAT !!

I had just started F/SR for the first time about halfway through June during a really really hard week and the way I latched onto these two like a baby alligator. They’re both so compelling and well written in the game I absolutely adoredddd their dynamic with my entire heart and that launched me into a lot of my own research and reading up on the two of them (if you have any book recs btw !! pls throw them my way I love books !!) and both of them are just so beautifully tragic in their own rights. Fate also has a track record of taking a lot of liberties with their characters and actual histories but F/SR I really felt did a pretty good job all things considered of respecting and allowing the real life history of these figures to influence their character arcs in the game - especially with these two in particular - and I’m so obsessed with it genuinely.

I also really love just psychoanalyzing fictional characters I like and turning it into meta it’s very fun.
