#sandwich without bread

[formulaonedirection]

Can I restart American discourse because why don't they butter their bread when they make sandwiches it's SO jarring

[cosmicrhetoric]

the thing about shounen is like. ok. sometimes it is that good like it's not an exaggeration. dbz is that good. gurren lagann is that good. haikyuu is that good. cowboy bebop is SO fucking good. yyh is that good. gundam is that good. naruto is honestly just ok but it was there for you when you were 12 and will always be there for you forever i love you naruto. mob psycho is that good. fma is that good. berserk is also that good (but watch out). all i have to say about one piece is that if it wasn't THAT GOOD no one wouldve stuck with it. i havent seen nge but i dont think i have to i already know. fuck what else. hajime no ippo probably. my point here is that sometimes its really awesome to turn the dial in your brain to read "12 years old" and experience character work comparable to the best shoujo (muira famously said he got a lot of inspiration for berserk from the character work done in two of my personal fave shoujo works: rose of versailles/aim for the ace) but also there's like a cool robot sometimes :)

why is keeping one singular human fed such a difficult task

[digitaldiseas3]

i had a stress dream last night that my housemates kept eating the loaf of bread that i bought for myself to make sandwiches

[mangostar]

[veikkoalen]

Americans tend to put mayo or mustard on sandwiches (i have had butter in sandwiches before but it’s not common)

i mean yeah, mayo and mustard do go on sandwiches but theres still butter beside those 🧍‍♂️

Is anyone else who is directionally challenged terrible at visualizing settings while reading a novel, unless the author is very, VERY specific? The only two authors’ writing styles that I can visualize settings with (so far) are Laura Ingalls Wilder and George Orwell. Because their styles are painfully meticulous.

For instance…

How most authors write a setting: “I walked into the cramped room. There was a bed underneath a window, with a nightstand next to it, against the wall. Across the room sat a heavy oak desk.” [later in the story] “Tracy arose from the bed, walking over to the desk. She turned on the lamp, taking a pen out of the cup.“ [later in the story] “I could feel the door opening behind my back as I sat at the desk.”

How I write a setting: “I walked over a shaggy area rug, into the cramped room. On the left wall there was a window, measuring five feet long, which was more than half of the room’s width. Under this window, in the corner, was a bed; it ran parallel to the far wall. A nightstand was shoved between the bed and the wall, allowing a small space for a person to walk. A small, pearly-colored lamp was on the nightstand. In the middle of the right wall was a heavy oak desk, atop which various writing implements were stored in cups, alongside another lamp.”

Obnoxiously verbose, right? I write like I’m commissioning the Tabernacle to be built. I do this so the reader has a definitive, three-dimensional model in their mind which will not change, warp, or distort as the story progresses and the environment is further elaborated on. I do this so we’re both on the same page with regard to where things are placed, so the reader will not have to correct their mental image as the story progresses; because that personally irritates the hell out of me. In fact, I need to have a specific model in my mind before I write a setting so I know where the characters can move. I have to draw maps on paper or in my mind before I start writing, or my story will be the most godawful thing you’ve read in your life.

making chicken nuggets for dinner because the little beastie in my brain hates eating anything that isn't portioned into tiny bite-sized pieces

[politedemon]

used to get like 10 customers over the course of an entire 8 hour shift and complain about it. what a FOOL i was i would give anything to go back to those days.

I hate that I don’t notice that I’m not eating enough in the moment, I only notice after the fact, once I’m weak and my head gets slow and I’m constantly achingly tired and I have to stop and try to think (which is then more difficult than it should be) about why I might be like that, and I realize that I haven’t been eating enough.
