#we used to think I was lactose intolerant but then we realized I'm ok with cheese by itself and milk by itself and ice cream ect

[thelovelyblark-barg]

almost all of my most recent migraines are from not reading something's ingredients cause I didn't realize it had tomatoes in it, as stupid as it sounds, like spanish rice. or the cocktail sauce in those shrimp rings. doritos thankfully only really give me a decent gut ache but it's not worth it.

honestly I'm trying to find humor in the tomato allergy thing because I'm just craving a bowl of spaghetti right now, but even if I get some decent gluten free noodles the sauce WILL incapacitate me for a few days.

I've always been avoidant to red sauces so I think unconsciously I've realized it made me sick I just... Didn't pay enough attention to it? White sauce pizzas are better, alfredo pastas are better, ect

the realization that tomatoes caused a good chunk of my migraines though- that made me upset because it, along with the whole celiac thing, explained how I felt after 99% of sleepovers through-out school

2024 | review version

surprises

I didn't celebrate Christmas. No music, presents, traditions, baking, nothing. Just a week away innawoods with my dude. It was perfect. I couldn't imagine early-20s Samantha being even slightly ok with this. We roasted a duck! I saw deer tripping daintily across the street in the twilight at the end of a city block!

Ate low FODMAP for two weeks and discovered I'm even more lactose intolerant than I used to be and my body now hates gluten. So now I'm one of those extra needy gluten-free ovo-vegetarians. Sigh. But it's worth it not waddling around with my belly ballooned out like I'm halfway through my second trimester.

After literally years of not watching TV/managing to even finish a season of a show, we watched seven shows total in full (eight if I can finish Cadfael before the year ends)

I read 50 books (and counting) a first since 2020 (61 total) when I struggled to get to 30 for the past three years

Now I'm back into journaling, blogging :')

Just deleted insta from my phone after getting a new phone a few weeks ago and then not logging in and realizing how mindlessly I checked it, and I'm not even one of those people who can endlessly scroll on it since I follow less than 100 people and hate influencers and shorts too much

I've even stopped thinking, oh, xyz was a big deal I should make a post... I just don't care anymore

For as much as I fall into and then out of certain things, Chinese foodways (especially in relation to the diaspora) remains a thing for me. Also at this point my fandom is learning about the scifi fandom.

disappointments

My hair has thinned a ton. Like, I know I'm approaching 40, but really? :( I hate it.

Still no friends, still no community, still eroding safety on public transportation and from wild drivers that means I don't even really want to go out...really ever. People exhaust me anyway. I just spent a week in the woods in a cabin and now everything feels too crowded and loud. I want the nature and the solitude back.

what will 2025 mean?

Already on the horizon: moving to a bigger place. Work travel, workcation travel.

Required: getting in shape. I'm a crunchy little shrimp with incel posture and I need to quit it. I am going to look broken and middle-aged soon. I need to get serious about this. :/

Goals: I want to go to my first con, tbh.

[httpsserene]

trust me. Your opinions are anything but terrible.

Arizona: GREEN TEA IS THE RIGHT ANSWER. If I could have one drink on a deserted island I would have that. Iced tea with lemon is also the right take and so is sweet tea and I’m saying that as someone from New York. My little 5 cents is try the peach. I personally like it and drink it if the bodega by me is out of green tea.

Ice cream: once again. THE CORRECT ANSWERS. I’m a sucker for vanilla tbh. Like vanilla in general is just MMM idk. I like the smell of it too like straight vanilla extract. I personally also like ginger it’s really really good. It’s hard to find ginger ice cream here too. The place that used to have it took it off their menu a few years ago now. Oreo has to be three for me just bc of Ginger.

Gum: trust me. I agree with you there. I never understand it. Mints are also one of my favorites, or those tic tacs those are delicious. Mints are making me think of those peppermint you would get from the front office or the nurse in high school. Istg they put something in that it went so hard.

chocolate: is just- amazing trust me. I completely consider chocolate with caramel chocolate because it has chocolate in it sooooo. Then again I eat chocolate covered potato chips (it tastes amazing trust me, it’s from Japan it’s so good.) KitKats and M&Ms are up there for me. What’s your favorite flavor of them or do you just like the OG? For me KitKats the og is the goat. M&Ms I lowkey like the brownie one. That or the caramel one.

Ok. I haven’t seen a lollipop that wasn’t dumdums in a hot second and I don’t want that to change. Once again, butterscotch is the correct answer! It’s defo my favorite, second is the blue raspberry and third is root beer. I also really like trying to figure out the hidden flavors.

My next set of questions. 1: On a deserted island, what are three things you would bring with you that isn’t ur phone.

2: if you could only eat one thing what would it be. (My answer to this is sushi bc there are so many different types I would never get bored.)

3: what is your favorite food/comfort food?

4: what seat on the plane do you prefer? 5: What do you think is the silliest word in English?

6: do you have any hot takes on movies/shows?

7: besides writing, what’s a talent that you have?

8: what’s something that feels illegal, but isn’t?

9: what's just a random fun fact you have

10: if you could have a superpower, what would it be?

11: what’s the weirdest thing you believed as a kid? (Mine was that if the lights in the backseat were on, the car wouldn’t start.)

And last but not least

12: do you have a trend you want to end? Along with that is there a specific word that you wish wouldn’t exist anymore?

I’m so sorry I realize now how long this is. Pls you don’t have to answer all of these I promise!

✧*̣̩⋆̩☽⋆゜ og kitkats and m&ms for life!

i would bring a plane, fuel, and a pilot LMAO

a rice bowl, like you can't go wrong! my particular bowl: white rice, black beans, steak, veggies, lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream, and queso blanco (i like dairy even though i'm lactose intolerant)

favorite/comfort food? i actually don't know if i have one? but like junk food/snack wise i really like nacho cheese doritos and chocolate chip cookies, separately of course, never both at the same time lol

aisle seat for logistics but window seat is the true answer. i have to look out of the window for takeoff and landing or else i may freak out a tiny bit.

wouldn't the silliest word be "silliest?" jk i think it's either "queue" or "definitely." queue has too many letters for how it sounds, that's why in america we say "line" instead! and, definitely, i mean cmon bro, it's silly that i always spell it wrong on my first attempt.

hot takes: all the shows with a highschool setting could've been college/university shows; what is the obsession with having minors (played by adults) in explicit shows (not that underage kids don't experience sexual stuff, it just shouldn't be that prominent in media i feel it sends the wrong message to ACTUAL minors irl. another hot take: not every book or cartoon needs a live action adaptation. please stop mutilating something that was perfect.

i'm happy you think i'm a talented writer haha but, my little talentthat i always tell everbody is that i'm musically gifted. i played the violin for 12+ years, did a little bit on the drums, but right now i'm jamming on a bass guitar!

TSA. i always feel like i'm smuggling something in my luggage even though i'm not. Electronic signatures too, that shit is not valid, imo! but it would pain me to have to be in person to sign a contract as an introvert.

microbursts, their bursts of air from thunderstorms, and if you ever have the chance to be in small/private plane at a certain altitude and hit one, you'd be pulverized instantly. turbulence is also a rare reason for planes to crash (i've memorized this from spencer reid in a criminal minds epsiode, idk why)

charm speak, a little like mind control but just through speech! piper from pjo and allison from umbrella academy both have a type of charm speak if you're familiar with those examples.

the weirdest thing i believed is that carrots keep your vision perfect. i loved carrots as a kid and i still almost turned out to be nearly as blind as a bat. swear i'm a few points away from being legally blind and learning echolocation.

the trend i'd end? beauty standards for sure, whether it's body types or face structures gts gone. as for the word i'd get rid of? any slur would be thrown in the trash promptly!

it was a fun q&a, i don't really mind it! ✧*̣̩⋆̩☽⋆゜

[nyxelenios]

OMG have you though about escort Sage through a open market in your home country? Him trying all the tradition Filipino foods and drinks and has an wholesome experience in general? What's your favourite Filipino food? Is it lactose? Would he eat it anyway? I think he would absolutely adore the cultural fashion attire, especially with you in it.

💖hope you have a nice day and may the best come your way 💖

note: i'm sorry anon i rambled and before i knew it it got long :(

NO BECAUSE- BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE-

because i never thought about this but now that you brought it up i'm vibrating from excitement Sage would have so much fun here i-

*inhales*

ok look i already have so much fun going around my city and the municipality just a drive over and my dad's hometown and- and having the honor to tour Sage around and spend time with him on a road trip and enjoying the great things the city and my culture have to offer??

tw // food, mentions of butchering livestock, and bile

— open markets!

there are a lot of markets! they're not really that aesthetically pleasing because of the big crowds and the not-so-nice people, but the goods!! the quality! of the goods!! i bet he'd love to sample all of the fresh produce and the meat and the fish! it would be fun to go to the market with him because i just know the vendors would strike up good bargains because he's handsome lmao

also speaking of bargains, he would definitely be great at that. he just is and i will not be explaining further because i have no idea how to explain it. anyways! it would be fun to teach him some tips on how to get the best produce and meats too! :D or he could do it by smell ig :/

oh the treats and the pasalubong too! (note: pasalubong is a term for the gifts you bring home after going on a trip to another place! sure you can call them 'souvenirs' but 'pasalubong' sounds much better and gives a feeling of warmth. there's another definition to it if you break down the word but my brain isn't braining enough to explain it lmao)

you don't have to come from another city to be qualified for pasalubong here at my place :D there are a lot of stalls that sell so many cool knick-knacks, souvenirs, and treats! there's also this one big building where you can get pasalubong in the lower ground floor and the basement. Sage would definitely get a kick out of the man in the barrel souvenir and the penis-shaped paper weights and countertops

LMFAO I HAVE BEEN BAFFLED BY THOSE AS A KID AND WHEN I REALIZED WHAT THEY WERE I NEVER WENT TO THAT SECTION OF THE FLOOR AGAIN

— culinary experiences!

hmmm about the food and drinks here... there are plenty of meat dishes and so many places to get drinks like alcoholic beverages and the classic Filipino coolers! by coolers i mean iced drinks-

speaking of the iced drinks, they have dairy in them so i rarely buy a cup or two :( i'm lactose intolerant :( but that doesn't stop me from enjoying those drinks>:]

Sage would enjoy the food here (*´꒳`*) while the city's restaurants do serve good food, the locals who own diners and small restos have way better menus! the meat and vegetables are all fresh so the dishes taste amazing!! i personally think Sage would like the blood sausages and blood pie :D also the dinuguan!!

there are some dishes here too that make use of the bile from the livestock they butcher for food, and those dishes are really tasty! we call one of the dishes 'pinapaitan' or 'papaitan', which is roughly translated to 'bitter stew'. the bitterness is mellowed out by ginger, salt, and spices! it's great on it's own or with chili oil, ground black pepper, a bit of vinegar or calamansi, and rice! most tourists would try it and the rest would chicken out but i know Sage would try it, and even like it! also this dish (which is my favorite) doesn't have any lactose, so Sage is safe! :D

— cultural fashion!

uh i don't wear the cultural attire often... i only wear it on special occasions or performances, as do other people :") there are old folks who wear them tho! you'll find them wearing the actual attires or modern pieces that have accents inspired by the attire :D

also, the attires that you might want to know about are the 'bahag' and the 'tapis'. the bahag is sometimes called a g-string, which has weirded me out ever since i searched it up and another type of g-string showed instead, and the tapis is a wrap-around skirt. in my province (where you base the style and colors of the attires) the tapis has no belt and it's rather plain-looking compared to the others, but there are patterns weaved into the skirt and the patterns are simple but still beautiful ^^

hmm Sage might like wearing the bahag because hey his tiddies are free and he doesn't get to wear pants!! at present, there's a vest to go with the bahag when the guys don't want their tiddies out in the open, and there's a cool bandana-like headpiece that they wear too!

as for the tapis, the ladies today wear a leotard for the top or a white shirt/blouse that goes with the style of the tapis. the ladies get accessories too, from intricately made necklaces to beautiful headpieces that add to their beauty and grace!

the footwear doesn't really matter because you usually perform or walk around barefoot but the ladies and the dudes get to wear whatever they want lol but they opt for slippers or flip-flops :D (note: you can usually find students and members of cultural organizations wear this during festivals and grand occasions for the city or municipality, and they perform cultural dances for the audience. for small occasions like the cañao [pronounced kan-yaw], you don't need to wear the attire but it's beautiful to see when someone wears the clothes with pride.)

you can find the attires displayed in museums with all the information written down, or you can get them at special stores that use looms to weave them!

if Sage ever wants something woven for him i'd get him a wrap-around belt with the pattern on the bahag. also it would match with his outfit! red/maroon and black! do you think the headpiece would go with his style too or would it be too much?

THANK YOU FOR THIS ANON AAAAAAAA maybe i should make a post about this! but with the M4! hopefully i go through with that idea because it's been so long since i posted anything decent shdjshd

luv u sm anon!! 💛 take good care of yourself and stay hydrated! 🍪🍪🍪 some sweet cookies for you too!

Catching a First (Maxwell x MC)

Been working on this for like...over a week and finally got it done. Sometimes, I know a story I want to begin, but have no clue how to end it so it takes me a while.

Anyway. Enjoy lovely people.

"Maxwell, hurry! We're gonna miss it!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming," her husband yells from across the house, followed by a laugh. "Never thought I'd say that outside of our bedroom."

Daisy rolls her eyes as he enters the room. "And you won't ever say it again if you miss this."

"I'm not gonna miss anything. Look, she's not even standing up anymore!"

Daisy turns to look at their daughter, just barely a year old, playing with a toy on the carpet. Her attention is completely devoted to the toy and it seems as if she has no intention of moving anytime soon.

Daisy groans, "Ugh, I've been trying to get her to do it for weeks! And every time I think she's gonna start walking and I get the camera ready, she doesn't do it. I swear, it's like a game to her and I never win."

Maxwell settles onto the couch beside his wife, watching over their daughter. "I don't think we're ever supposed to win. Pretty sure that's what being a parent means."

"Yeah, well it sucks."

"Dadada," Charlotte babbles as she finally realizes her favorite person is in the room.

Maxwell grins at the little girl, "Hey, sweetpea. That's right. Da da. I'm your da da," he talks back to her and she smiles in return. She moves her body to go towards him, but the toy she'd been playing with makes a noise, distracting her again, and she stops.

His wife frowns at the exchange. "When is she ever going to say mama? I mean...I'm here, too, ya know. It's a little unfair."

Maxwell shrugs and turns his head to look at her. "Maybe I'm just the cooler parent and she just had to say dada first or it'd ruin her street cred."

"She doesn't have any street cred, Maxwell."

"Not yet, but she will. Might as well rack up all the points she can get," Maxwell informs her and Daisy only shakes her head, not wanting to open the argument of who was the cooler parent again.

They continue to talk about little things and watch their daughter as she plays for a few more minutes. They're stopped when Chance prances into the room and hops onto the couch between them.

Daisy pets him on the top of his head. "Hey there, boy. I haven't seen you all day. Where've you been?"

Of course, he doesn't answer, and instead nuzzles himself closer to Daisy. Maxwell reaches out to pet him, but Chance gives him a look.

Maxwell slowly retracts his hand. "At least you've got Chance. I've shared like a hundred ice cream cones with him and he still barely tolerates me."

Daisy pauses her petting, "Ice cream cones? You've given him ice cream?"

"Well yeah, it's not gonna hurt him. I mean, it shouldn't. Right?"

"Usually no, not for any other dog but Chance is lactose intolerant! No wonder he's been stinking up the place," she complains.

"Doh! Doh!" their daughter exclaims from the floor, her eyes wide.

Both parents turn to look at their daughter as she reaches for the animal, fingers flexing in and out. Chance perks up at her voice, his tail wagging excitedly back and forth. The little girl clumsily stands up from the floor and her parents' eyes widen.

"That's right, Char. Dog. Come see your dog, baby girl," Daisy coos.

Charlotte's right leg begins to shake as she tries to lift it. Her heel leaves the floor but immediately goes back down.

"Come on, baby. You can do it. Come get Chance. Come on," Daisy urges as Maxwell sits in awe.

Their daughter tries once more to move her legs, picking up one foot with a shaky motion. Daisy gasps and slaps Maxwell on the arm. When he looks at her, she gestures to the camera and he takes the cue.

Charlotte takes a step and Daisy claps her hands, "That's it, baby. Come here. Come see Chance. You're so close!"

Their daughter takes another step, stumbling for a second and getting off balance. She quickly recovers, however, and takes another step, this time more carefully and steadier than before. With each step, she grows more confident and, with both parents cheering her on, she makes it to the couch, roughly falling into it as she reaches for Chance.

"Doh!" she exclaims and Daisy laughs.

"Yes! Yes, dog! Good job, Charlotte! You walked! You did so good," Daisy tells her, proudly, and wipes a tear off of her cheek as it trails down.

Charlotte continues to chant about the dog and Daisy looks at her husband, whose own wide smile matches hers.

"I can't believe she finally did it! You know its going to be crazy here now that she can cruise around on her own," Daisy says and Maxwell nods.

"I know, but at least we won't have to carry her everywhere anymore. She's starting to get heavy," he replies.

Daisy sighs, "Yeah, I'm a little sad about that. It seems like just the other day I was in the hospital having a brand new baby wrapped in a pink blanket put in my arms. And now she's walking! Next it'll be the first day of school, then graduation....and she's gonna get married! Have kids of her own! It's going to fly by..."

Both of their smiles falter as they take in this thought, imagining all of the ways their little girl is going to grow and change.

Daisy sighs again, "Well, at least we have it on video to look back on it whenever we want to. Can I watch it again?"

Maxwell lifts up the camera and starts fiddling with the buttons. "Sure, I have it riiiiight....oh, no."

Daisy frowns, "'Oh no?' What does that mean? What's 'oh no'?"

Maxwell looks up at her, sheepishly. "Um. Well. Don't be mad at me. It was an honest mistake, it could have happened to anyone."

"Max..." Daisy warns.

"Ok, ok. So...I may have...not actually recorded it?"

"What!?" Daisy exclaims, "How could you not have recorded it?"

Maxwell lifts the camera up, almost as if just looking at the object can fully explain the mishap.

"Well, see, the record button is right next to the off button and, you know, in the excitement of it all, I possibly, maybe, definitely hit that one on accident."

Daisy's face falls at the realization that a pivotal moment in their child's life will not be forever immortalized through video. "But...she walked. She's only ever going to walk for the first time once and we missed it. We're never gonna have that again," she mutters, on the verge of tears.

"Oh come on now," Maxwell says, moving closer to his wife, ignoring the warning glance of their dog, and puts an arm around her shoulders. Using his hand, he gently guides her head to lay on him as he soothingly pats her hair up and down. "It's just a silly video, Daisy. We're going to remember it up here," he stops patting her to lightly poke her temple, "and that's where it counts. So there's no need to get all sniffily over it."

Daisy looks up at him, eyes red and brimmed with unshed tears of disappointment, "But...her first steps, Max."

He pulls her head back down and kisses the top of it, "I know, honey, I know. We'll always remember it though and that's gotta count for something, right?"

Daisy sighs and nods her head, "No, you're right. We won't ever forget it. It'll be okay."

"That's right but we are gonna forget my colossal mess up...right?" He asks.

She lifts her head again and gives him a stern look, "I absolutely won't forget that," she tells him and he grimaces.

"Are we atleast gonna look back on it years from now and have a good little laugh?"

"Many, many, many years from now, but sure. We probably will," she replies and he smiles.

"See? It's all good." He detaches himself from his wife and slaps both hands on his thighs. "Now, to celebrate this totally amazing moment, who wants ice cream?"

Their daughter immediately gets excited at the mention of her favorite dessert and Chance's ears perk up at the suggestion.

"None for you, Chancey boy. Ever again," Daisy tells him and his ears fall back down, his head going with them. "Ugh, fine. You can have one scoop and that's it, you hear me? Just one, Chance."

Chance sits up, excitedly, and jumps off of the couch. Giggling, the little girl chases after him, on two chubby, and still a little unsteady, legs as they make their way to the kitchen, Maxwell not far behind.

When he gets to the door, Maxwell turns back to Daisy and raises an eyebrow. "You coming?" he asks.

Daisy looks forlornly at the camera for a moment before turning her attention to her husband. "I am. I'll be there in a minute. Save me some chocolate will you?"

Maxwell grins, "Only if you don't take too long. Choczilla in there might eat it all if you don't hurry. You know I can't say no to that face."

Daisy rolls her eyes, "Yeah I know, but try anyway. Okay?"

"You got it," he promises with a wink and he leaves.

Daisy again looks at the camera and frowns, sad that such a huge moment in their daughter's life was missed. It had taken so long to have her that Daisy wanted any and everything memorilized for the rest of time. They'd even taken photos of her first poopy diaper. Daisy, in amazement that such a tiny thing could contain so much, was convinced at the time that it was the greatest thing to ever happen in the baby's short life, so they'd taken several photos much to Uncle Drake's horrified objections. Missing something like her first steps really broke Daisy's heart.

She thinks back on what her husband said and has to agree that, sure, it wasn't on video, but neither one of them would ever forget this day. Their little girl was growing up and bound to have many more things that deserved to be recorded just as much, so, maybe, in the grand scheme of things, missing one wasn't so bad. They'd always have a video in their own minds, snapshots of her furrowed brows as she tried to get her footing and the nearly toothless grin on her face as she tumbled into the couch. That could never be lost, not as long as they were living, Daisy was sure of it.

Sighing, she stands to go and join her family, their laughs echoing down the hallway and filtering into the room, Chance's happy yips accompanying it. Crossing the room, she glances back at the couch, rewinding the recording in her mind and playing it again, and smiles, faintly.

Yes, they'd never forget this, even if they hadn't managed to get it on camera.

Except...maybe next time something happens, she'll be in charge of the camera. Just in case.
