saw the post with Vasco and Machete vibe checking a bubble and was curious if they'd actually be similar sizes as dogs?

I'd been picturing Machete as a small trembling terrier and Vasco as a long leggy bloodhound

They're pretty equally matched I think, I'd say roughly 70 cm (or 28 inches) at the withers. Their breeds are fictional, but physically their closest irl counterparts would be Ibizan hound and Porcelaine. Both fairly large hunting dogs.

stopped reading a fic just there because it was insisting that thor & co went on many violent adventures pre-movies but of course left poor feeble loki behind cos he's a) feeble and b) blessed with a better understanding of imperialism than the rest, and there are a thousand other fics that also think this is obviously what happened but i think i may just have hit my limit on this one :\

after watching 4 whole seasons in less than 2 weeks i think house md is maybe the perfect example of why we need to bring back 20+ episode seasons. like yeah sure there's a very clear formula but: there's time to add sub-arcs! motifs! weird experimental episodes! the season finales actually feel like season finales because there's enough episodes in the rest of the season for the characters to have chances to breathe without sacrificing the momentum or wasting time. it actually feels like there's a passage of time happening without the need for explicit mid-season time skips or exposition dumps because, guess what, the season is long enough that time actually IS passing. when characters change their hair or visibly start to age it feels normal because again: time is actually passing in-universe. i yearn for the days when television actually felt like its own distinct thing!!!!!!! i also yearn for lisa cuddy but that's not the point here.

still thinking about what a missed opportunity it was that they never made any steven universe figures other than funko pops and some cheap wonky blind bags. even just something on par with like amiibos would've sold so well I think. I'd totally pay amiibo prices for a full collection of nice character figures. I'd pay more than amiibo prices for bigger figures of fusions or the diamonds that were proportionally scaled with the other characters

[bittsandpieces]

Absolutely not telling you how to tag your posts but it's a shame you don't use something like "bittsbits" for your amazing nudes

That's a fair point, but also, I'm tired of the jokes about my "bits" because I've heard it a million times over the past five years, and I'd rather not encourage it. I honestly would've changed my username at some point, but I have an emotional attachment to this one as it's been my username since I was like... fifteen ish?

SAMYA (SAMANTHA) AMARI

Origin: asalee (human facsimile)

Status: organic

Nationality/Ethnicity: British, Pakistani-Uzbek

Age: 31 (date of birth July 1st, 2011)

Occupation: N/A

About:

Samya Amari is the Mallory clone of Mia Safarova and Oman Khurshid. She was raised as their daughter, and doesn’t know how she was actually created.

As a Mallory clone, Samya is part of the conjugate family, and has a Base of 5. This gives her the ability to use clairvoyance, which includes mind-reading, a primitive form of hypnosis, and manipulating electric fields. Though she knows how to use her powers to some extent, she was discouraged by her parents from exploring her full strength, out of fear that she may not be able to properly control them and as a result hurt herself or others. Due to being a Mallory clone, she has weakened bones and muscles in her left hip down to her ankle. A shortened achilles heel and atrophy in her calf resulted in her developing club foot, and though it was later corrected with surgery, she cannot walk long distances unassisted. She uses a forearm crutch.

Samya is a socialite as a result of her clairvoyance, and gets along with almost everyone. However, she has trouble reading social cues and expressions. While stubborn, she is also easily frustrated, and is prone to paranoia; she tries to keep a cautiously optimistic attitude despite that. Samya enjoys needlepoint embroidery, anything apple flavored, and collecting long scarves.

Background:

Samya was created and born in the Mallory’s Liverpool lab. For the first six months of her life, she lived there with Mia and Cassandra, and was subjected to numerous tests of her clairvoyance. Even as an adult, she has a bald spot on the back of her head from electrodes implanted into her brain as a baby, though she does not remember it.

After Oman got her out of the lab, him and Mia tried to give her as normal of a life as possible, although she had a very lonely childhood. She was homeschooled to hide her from the Mallorys, then as she was set to begin at a small university in London, the war broke out. While she still attended virtual classes and graduated with a degree in physics (with focus in material science), she still found herself with little to no social life or friends. Worse yet, she also finds out around this time that she’s incapable of having children. Shortly after she’s told her mother has died, which worsens her already building depression.

She lives quietly with Oman until 2040, until she discovers that her mother might not actually be dead. Oman refuses to answer any questions about his or Mia’s past, or even how Samya got her clairvoyance. Angered by his silence, they have a rough falling out and she leaves to finally live on her own. For two years she follows loose threads on the Mallorys and her mother, but grows discouraged when all she gets are dead ends. In 2042, she suddenly gets the tip that Mona Nibhanupudi, who was closely involved with the Mallorys, has a daughter living just a car ride away.

Super random, you don't know me lol, but I was looking through the notes of the most common breakfast post and I was wondering if you'd be willing to share your breakfast cookie recipe. I've been wanting to make some but the one recipe I tried I didn't like, and I haven't been motivated to look for another one

i actually love this ask and that's partly because @averymayhemeveryday just asked me for this a few days ago and i typed it all up into a discord server we're in, so i'm just editing that braindump into a slightly neater recipe and including the pictures i took on my most recent batch. still, i made this up from nowhere and i cook on vibes, there is precious little exact measurement in here so you will have to do your own experimenting and figure out what you like.

recipe is Long so it's under the cut

step one: soaking your grains

i mix about two cups old fashioned oats, a couple tablespoons or so of chia seeds, about a cup of unsweetened applesauce, and enough (oat) milk/water to get it fairly loose, then let it sit in the fridge for at least a few hours to let the liquid soak into the grains. overnight is better. i've done it for over 24 hours and i really like the texture i got. i tend to mix in a bit of instant coffee granules at this point for taste and caffeine content, maybe a tablespoon or two. you can add cinnamon or other spices before or after soaking, i think i've done it both ways. iirc em said they put in cardamon after soaking and wished they did it before so it would soak into the grains more.

step two: mixing in the rest of your stuff

after soaking, i put in a generous amount of peanut butter, maybe like a third/half cup? i don't measure it at all really, just scoop it in. sometimes i add a bit of molasses, you could do brown sugar too. might be nice to do that before soaking so it soaks into the oats, idk i don't think i've tried it. usually like a big spoonful. i frequently do mini chocolate chips, but i usually do sweetening OR chips, not both, that's just a lot of sugar. then if it's too stiff i put a bit more water or milk in, i get it a little looser than traditional cookie dough but still thick enough to hold together.

left picture is straight out of the fridge after soaking, right is ready to bake

step three: baking

i use a cookie scoop but if you don't have one a spoon is fine it's just more work, flatten them down because without any butter or some kind of fat they won't flatten themselves, you can pack them onto a cookie sheet tightly cause they won't rise or spread, whatever shape you put them into the oven in, they will stay that shape and size. bake about 25 minutes at 375f. might want to check them at 20 depending on your oven. they get a bit brown around the edges when they are done. i use two cookie sheets stacked together, it's a trick my mom taught me that decreases the risk of burning the bottoms.

EDITING THIS TO ADD: please grease your cookie sheet or use parchment paper you do not want to try to bake something without any fat in it and then get it totally stuck!

notes:

i find that it makes enough to eat 6-7 a day for a week, i keep them in the fridge so they don't try to mold or anything, i just split them out into individual storage containers so i just grab one each day and eat on the way to work. i usually take the container out of the fridge the night before so i'm not eating them cold because that's a misery tbh.

for the weekend i usually crumble up that day's portion into a bowl and mix in more applesauce and milk so it's a bit of variety.

my friend em doesn't like peanut butter so we talked about ways to replace that for texture, since it helps it hold together in addition to adding protein. obviously another nut butter or sunbutter would be great if you need to eliminate it for allergy reasons. we talked about using cream cheese instead and i tried that this week, that's the batch those pictures are, i used half a 16oz block and still put in a little peanut butter, and honestly it may be the best batch i've made yet.

honestly it just now, as i am editing this for tumblr, occurred to me that you could add an egg or two in place of pb for protein+holding them together. i'm allergic to eggs so i didn't think of it before and i'm not sure how the texture would be but it might be worth a try.

this week's cream cheese variation, baked, with bonus roasted veggies that were in the oven at the same time, sunday is batch cooking in my house cause i never have any energy (or executive function) by the time i get home from work on weekdays.

they really are more of a cookie by shape than anything, the texture is not at all what a traditional cookie would be, but i quite enjoy them. even on the weeks that they don't turn out quite as well, it's something to nibble on the way to work and i'll eat practically anything half awake at 730am if it means i won't be shaking with hunger halfway to lunch. this week they are so good i am really sad when i reach the end of the day's portion and i will for sure be doing cream cheese again.

how tall do you imagine Simon being though? And compared to Alec and Jace as well? I remember Simon wondering if he'd ever catch up to Jace in height in City of Ashes.

in my mind, i think i picture simon to be just over 6', which is technically alec's canon height, but i also hc that both him and jace grow a little more post-tmi. they're all only like an inch apart to begin with (simon being an inch shorter than jace, who's an inch shorter than alec), so the shuffling of heights doesn't feel like a very far reach.

if i were to rank their fully-grown, adult heights in my mind, it would be alec as the tallest, followed by simon, and then jace, but that height difference is closer to a half inch in my mind, i think. bc alec would be closest to being done growing.

also i just love imagining jace being shorter than simon but just enough for him to deny the fact and for simon to hold it over him way more than the actually height difference justifies hehe
