#she uses oil for that I THINK

[anonymocha]

Lucy uses batteries but also has a piston core… Is she like a hybrid car that uses both electric and mechanical energy sources???… Or is her piston core just happen to be what her arcane “heart” is since it is her udimo… I may be looking into this robot too deeply.

Grand babbee cardassian has broken me… also more Jocasta content pls we love a quiet queen

GRANPA GARAK! A DISIPLINARIAN!

He gets up early every day to pick fresh fruit from the garden for his grandkids. Elim III is his Little Regnar. Lim thinks he's going to spoil them rotten (the orphanage and the dirt floor gardening shed that they lived in was CHARACTER BUILDING. it made him the MAN HE IS TODAY.)

JOCASTA LOVE.... she's truly an underrated queen.. here maam ms head scrub nurse you dropped your crown 👑

She cares about outward presentation as much as any Cardassian, but especially hair (cardassian hair being much thicker and coarser than human fur.)

also she refers to julian as Dr Bashir at work just out of propriety and respect. most people don't know that they're father and daughter simply because she does not care to tell them. they just think she's his favorite because she's good at her job and gently takes no shit

*crawls my way through your prairie dog tunnel* HEY! How does Tangy feel about being groomed! Whether by being pet or scritched or with a brush/comb?

☆*:. o(≧▽≦)o .:*☆ HI !!!! Omg hiii I’ll add lights to that tunnel next time I go through and a lil snack stop with trail mix…. 😌

If you could scritch/brush the spot between her shoulder blades she’d purr like one of the Ironworks Motor Bikes it’s really hard to reach that spot in particular and there’s that patch of fur and sometimes it just gets so (ITCHY!!!)

Grooming is one of those nice bonding activities she’d enjoy, cos you can reciprocate and do it for the person grooming you in kind after •w• also it’s rly relaxing!!! (Relaxing enough Tangy might take a tiny nap 🫢 brushing her fur or hair and she just slowly bonks into the nearest vertical surface) (I also think… her tongue might poke out… just a little bit… a goofy little triangle of pink.)

I imagine like most creatures with fur Hrothgar shed seasonally so there’s surely jokes to be had about making a Mini Tangy out of shed fur snfnenfrnfj

My mom is going on a cruise w her bestie to a lot of European countries she's not seen yet (hasn't been to/lived in Europe or Africa since shortly before I was born). She asked me what gift I'd like and tbh I just really loooooove spices and flavors I dont have the opportunity to discover/try here, but like 🤔 not sure if customs would bar her from bringing spices home. Maybe a cool rock or smth instead as I seem to be collecting small stone animals when I travel lately

IS THIS A SAFE SPACE FOR ME TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY FLATMATES.

[puckpocketed]

NO CUP UPON CMD FOREVER AND EVER

SHAKING YUOR FIN VIGOROUSLY. ✨🦈✨

for those missing context here’s puckpocketed Deep Cuts vol. 2!! my friend who i met outside of hockey (in the gamer trenches) used to follow the nhl casually before she met me. over this past summer, i fell into hockey and dragged her back in. ever since i told her about cmd she has had this as her discord status:

she’s not active on hockey tumblr much outside of some lurking/liking but she is a celebrity. to ME!!!! all of our teams were knocked out of playoffs/basement teams who never made it and so this is truly all we have left <3

It's one thing to ask someone to replace items due to a mistake, it's another to make someone replace an expensive item that was less than a third full at its full value.

It's strange how much, when I have time off (e.g. tomorrow is ANZAC Day and I've booked the Friday after as annual leave so I can have a four-day weekend), I feel like "ah, normal life for a bit," because work-day life never really feels like life.

Anyway, this weekend is my mother's 70th birthday and she's having a party (catered ladies' lunch) and she's sad because her sister is sick and can't come but on the other hand her best friend has flown over from Australia for it, and I will spend a chunk of tomorrow baking two large and sumptuous carrot cakes for the occasion.

The best carrot cake recipe I've ever found btw: Carrot Cake III from Allrecipes.com. I make it without the pecans, because my sister's allergic to nuts, and instead of plain cinnamon I use mixed spice (called pudding spice in the UK and pumpkin pie spice in the USA). Otherwise, I just follow the recipe and I really cannot over-emphasise how nice this cake is. My sister and mother request it for their birthday cakes pretty much every year.

It's so moist you can make it a couple of days in advance with no noticeable deterioration (provided you store it wrapped up or in an airtight container, of course). The original recipe is for a 9x13 rectangular pan but it works pretty perfectly if you divide the batter equally between two medium-size round cake pans and then layer the baked cakes with the cream cheese icing, which is my normal method. This time, however, I'm making the rectangular version for ease of cutting and serving to a lot of different people.

And it's easy. You don't actually need an electric mixer, if you have a whisk or an egg-beater and some gumption that's just as good. I speed things up by grating the carrots in a food processor - as well as being quicker, I find this results in tidier grated carrots that don't leak and slop their juice so much. In my experience, three medium-size carrots usually yield three cups of the grated stuff, and I would recommend using a grater or food processor disc with smaller holes - thinner strands of carrot give you a better-textured cake.

And as you may know if you know me, I like carrot cake to be a simple and honest CARROT cake, and this one is. There is no secret, sneaky fruit involved.* Carrot it says and carrot it is and carrot it ever shall be.

I once made this with heirloom purple carrots as an experiment. It looked simply disgusting and tasted exactly the same.

*I don't mind if you want a carrot and pineapple cake! I just think you should call it a carrot and pineapple cake. Stuff you if you put sultanas or raisins in it though.

since we’re an interfaith family, we celebrate both christmas and hanukkah. hanukkah is 8 nights. christmas has an eve and a day. barely making 2 days total.

guess which one i’m still being told to be merry about and songs are playing about it wherever i go even when it’s multiple days after and guess which one has only come up with me saying happy about it first in conversation while it’s not even halfway over?

So, I had this little incorrect quote with Hades, Persephone, and Mother Gothel in the Dreamlight Valley universe in my head all day yesterday and just had to post it lmao

CW: suggestive dialogue 🔞 (minors dni)

Mother Gothel: Oh, Hades! Glad I found you, dear. You do plan on returning that bottle of olive oil I let you borrow yesterday, don’t you?

Hades: Oh right, the olive oil I had to trade ya 30 shiny citrines for just so I could borrow it to make a meal for my dinner date with Persephone last night. Yeah…about that…

Mother Gothel: Ugh, please. Don’t tell me you’ve lost it.

Hades: No, I just uh…used all of it. Sorry ‘bout that, babe.

Mother Gothel: All of it!? You mean to tell me that you used up an entire bottle of olive oil for a meal that serves two…deities? I know Persephone has a rather…hearty appetite, but —

Hades: Yeah, I’m gonna cut ya off right there before ya say something you deeply regret. But, no I didn’t use that much for our dinner…I uh…needed it for something else. Well, actually Persephone and I needed it for something…after dinner.

Mother Gothel: (skeptical) You both made a dessert with olive oil?

Hades: Not exactly.

Mother Gothel: Then what on earth did you need it for?

Hades: *smirks* Whaddya think we needed it for?

Mother Gothel: I don’t… *expression quickly switches from confused to disgusted* Oh my god.

Hades: Funny, y’know, Persephone said the same thing to me last night. Good thing it wasn’t extra virgin, know what I mean, eh?

Mother Gothel: I wish I didn’t. Consider this the last time you borrow anything from me.

Hades: (sarcastically) Aw, what a shame.

Later that day…

Persephone: So, did you talk to Gothel about the olive oil?

Hades: Yeah, I had the displeasure of chatting with her earlier today.

Persephone: She wasn’t upset about you accidentally knocking it off the counter and breaking it, was she?

Hades: Eh, she was a little peeved, but she’ll get over it. She usually does.

Persephone: True, but she’s probably never gonna let you borrow anything from her ever again after this.

Hades: Yeah, probably not.

i was telling myself it was okay that i sucked at guitar hero's easy mode at the arcade earlier and that no one was even paying attention to me but then my mom said there were 3 dudes watching me when she walked in

[the-evil-pizza]

@backtornado i got legumes twice a week and minestrone once so, hopefully that's not enough to make me hate our humble bean, who's a friend to us all.

[batty-bites]

there was no right to make them as pretty as they are guhh,,

how did the ABS work in your source,,?

The Absolute Solver?

The same as 'canon' i guess...

but I needed oil more often the longer I had used it for the day

I luckily didn't have to deal with a stupid Cyn in my tail because when the corpse... thingy... fell away, it just left Cyn herself and who she was, no solver
