psa that the day there are no jgy stans left on tumblr dot com is the day i am dead
but rest assured i'll go to my grave exactly as i lived: obnoxiously proclaiming to everyone within earshot how great lianfang-zun is. narratively, metaphorically, spiritually. sexually, too, like why limit myself. i like to keep my options open
#the spirit of su minshan possessed me for a minute there but like. i'm fine with it#jin guangyao#he did crimes??? good for him 😌#editing this post to add that while the tone here is clearly joking#i really am fundamentally still engaged with this fandom#and with this book#almost exlcusively because of my enjoyment of jgy#even xiyao is secondary for me like i love it and i'm ride or die for it obvs#but jgy as a character is the main draw for me. and he would have me by the throat even if there was no zewu-jun#(tho i think jgy's life would be more depressing for his absence obviously)#but he is just. /clenches my fists!!!#THE most compelling character in the story and i cannot stop thinking about him!! cannot will not!!#who else in this book has his range? who else can be the doe-eyed idealist AND the spy with blood on his hands who ends a war?#who else is two different greek tragedies and at least two separate shakespearean tragedies rolled into one antagonist#an antagonist who but for the POV of the novel could very easily have been the protagonist#whose moral event horizon is so deeply entwined with his own trauma and abuse that there is no way to meaningfully separate#the violence he does to others from the systemic violence that was done to him for his whole life?#who else in this book manages to get five separate sect leaders utterly obsessed with him no matter how you choose#to interpret that obsession?#no one!!! that's who!!#ain't no one else in the jianghu doing it like lianfang-zun and that's just a goddamn fact

One thing I truly adore about Palia is the polyamory and general queerness. It's so nice that we can romance everyone so we don't miss any plots or items, but also its nice as a poly-queer person to see some representation in a game.
There is no jealousy. There is no hateful or painful breakups (as I understand it, if you break-up it is not mentioned and you restart the romance plot-line). No one makes negative comments about two pins or switching out pins.
It's so nice to see positive rep in a game and honestly such a breath of fresh air.
#palia#palia game#palia mmo#queer representation#poly representation#like I love Stardew don't get me wrong and that can be queer as well#but if you date more than one the obviously monogamous npcs get upset which is also fine!!#but in Palia I can imagine those conversations of a poly relationship#plus it makes me feel I have more control over my OC's true character#my OC is demisexual and very queer and nonbinary#so their relationship to Reth is different than Jel and yes Hodari will soon be joining that polycule and I can know in comfort that#there ARE conversations happening!! even if just in my head!#its just nice to see some good positive rep and I am so happy about it#now excuse me while I spend some more money on this great game cause I want it to stick around for as long as possible

I'd never seen The Bishop's Wife, which is christmas movie from the 40s, so I didn't know what it was about, and frankly I think it's CRAZYYYY that it is, in fact, about an angel that comes down to earth and puts this guy in the cuck chair while he seduces his wife. like he's doing his work and attending his meetings and dating his wife and spending time with his child and doing it all better than this bishop guy. like the premise is that he's an angel. so. he's Good. but he definitely did fuck this guy's (the bishop's) wife. and also it's understood that everyone else around him also wants him so bad. I'm going to be thinking about this for awhile. he's going to like. he wants to stay. he wants to fully yoink this guy's life. and then at the end of the movie, it swerves, and the bishop-- who has been blowing it severely-- makes some declaration of how much his wife means to him and that he needs her. just like a single line of dialogue. so the angel is like "ah, then I'll leave you alone. :) and neither of you will remember that I was here or that I'm the reason why your lives are fixed" and the end of the movie is like Wow, Their Marriage Is Saved, This Married Couple Is Happy Again, It's Fixed. HEY?
#guys please watch this movie#THIS MOVIE IS CRAZY. I AM GONNA WATCH IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR#that's fucking nuts. that movie should totally end with this guy fucking the bishop's wife#it's okay. god told me it was fine for you to cheat on your husband#actually god also said it's fine to just fully get a divorce and marry me instead. tee hee#the cuck chair joke is not a joke by the way. he literally magically glues the bishop to a chair while he's off on a date with his wife.#CRAZY!!! CRAZY MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!#sergle.txt#obviously the ending is very. ;. but. the REST OF THE MOVIE. SLAYS

@mouseymagus
(response to tags where I mention Brakul making a crab soup)
IRL I USED:
3x snow crab clusters
1.5 onions
1 large habanero
Uncounted, substantial amount of garlic cloves
Thyme
Fennel Seeds
Cumin Seeds
About 1/4th of a lemongrass sprig
A lot of turmeric powder
Bit of fish sauce
like 2 sazon packets (mostly for MSG)
A substantial amount of sweet soy sauce later added to taste (used it as a balance because I went too hard on the turmeric+cumin, though some would have been used either way)
A lot of plain yogurt
Spinach
[No measurements used for basically anything I do things entirely to taste when making soup and adjust as needed]
In-universe version would have an overall similar tasting mix of herbs and spices. He also has access to meatier crab, and would be making larger batches. Two types of fish sauce would have been used, one that's intense and provides most of the salt content, and one that is very sweet and mixed with date wine (the sweet soy sauce was a substitute for this, some kind of sweet port wine mixed with fish sauce would probably be more accurate).
Vegetables are all finely chopped (outside of the lemongrass) as they will be eaten in the final product. Everything except the yogurt and spinach is combined with water and allowed to cook for several hours to make the broth.
The broth should be very strong, somewhat excessive on the spices because it's going to be balanced out with yogurt. Once it reaches a good point, the heat should be turned low and the soup allowed to cool before the yogurt is stirred in, which should prevent curdling. This should be A LOT of yogurt, it's the key ingredient. Cream could also be used for a sweeter result. The color should end up very light golden-yellow.
Continue cooking on low heat for a while after adding the yogurt (I let it go like 1.5 hours). You don't want it to boil again but want the yogurt-broth to thoroughly penetrate the crabmeat. Once that's done, you can either strain it to remove fennel/cumin seeds and the cooked down vegetables (and replace them with freshly chopped ones), or let it be and to eat as is. Either way this is the point where you add the spinach and let it cook for a while longer, until the vegetables are soft.
Resulting soup should be a thick broth that’s notably spicy, mildly sweet, and the bitterness of the spices should be subtle. Should have a distinct turmeric flavor with the cumin, thyme, and fennel being subtler. You can open up the crab legs and add the meat into the soup, or eat out of them on the side (ideally with bread to scoop up any remaining liquid, or over grain)
In context, Brakul really likes to cook and is like, Okay at it. He's got a good sense for flavoring and a very, very bad sense for timing. His soups are notably quite good because they are the one thing that is virtually impossible to burn. This crab soup is his favorite thing to make, it's kind of a fusion between familiar recipes he would have had back home (crayfish broth boils with herbs and chili-spiced yogurt) and flavoring more favorable to the Wardi palate (especially cumin and imported turmeric). He's bad at integrating the yogurt at the proper heat though so it usually ends up curdled.
Here’s photos of the process for the lore friendly curdled version
#The first batch I made very carefully so it wouldn't curdle and the second batch I dumped in the yogurt at high heat and let it#curdle to get the gist of what the end product would be like#Obviously not as visually appealing but it tastes fine and letting it go for a while at low heat with frequent stirring integrates it#throughout (though much more so after sitting overnight in the fridge and being reheated on low)#If anyone actually tries this out I'd definitely recommend leaving the crab legs whole in the soup and letting them absorb#the liquid in the fridge overnight. I ate one cluster the night of cooking and the other two the following day and it was SO much#better after having that additional time#Soups in general tend to be better after a night in the fridge I think. Like if it's good fresh it will usually be better the next day

i’m going to be so real, i don’t understand the people who don’t like thirteen’s era but like rtd2. cause like all those episodes are about the same quality in my opinion, they’re fine. there’s nothing too remarkable about either, but i still enjoy them don’t get me wrong.
#doctor who#dw#dr who#13th doctor#14th doctor#15th doctor#rtd2#personally while rtd has helped in creating tighter stories it’s very similar to thirteen’s era#so stop being all hoity toity and watch 13#chibs era has many issues for sure but like at least give it a watch#this last season was fine but i felt pretty similar about it as i did with thirteen#tell me you could not see space babies as a 13 episode#obviously there’s standouts for each but all the other episodes are just alright#fun to watch for sure but not superb

Dorothy and the Prince of Oz: *is intentionally an original Oz story separate from the canonical books, '39 film, et cetera, told beautifully through the art of ballet* Me: Neat! Also me, in the back of my mind: You know there's a certain Princess of Oz you could have Dorothy fall in love with... no need to create a new character... Ozma is all invented, public domain, and available for ya already...
#obviously it's fine and i'm being funny and hyperbolic#my gay brain just wants more gay#and i'm just mildy—MILDY tired of knowing deep down that if ozma was a boy dorzma would be very mainstream likely#kinda like how dorothy and scarecrow somehow are#it's a bit funny seeing writers shove her into ships with guys while she and ozma are in the corner like 👩❤️💋👩#dorzma#the wonderful wizard of oz#dorothy and the prince of oz

Strahdposting (with possible spoilers so tread lightly)
One of the worst things about Strahd in our campaign is that he's not overtly forced anyone to do anything. His underlings have, sure, but never him. He just waits for us to eliminate our options all on our own, and then presents us with his way. And of course, his way is the easiest. He'll even make it easier. We keep falling into the pit because he ensures we dig it ourselves.
We're almost past the point where he wants to bargain with us and I'm nervous about what happens when he stops being the devil we know and becomes something else altogether.
The recent reveal that there were other parties before ours has been so shattering for us, I think, because it made us all realize that our party is an amusement until it is an inconvenience, and then we'll be insects in the garden that have overstayed our welcome. And then he'll start with the force.
#even when Demetria was kidnapped#we only SAY kidnapped because Volenta did it and Strahd got to play hero about the whole thing#Every subsequent time she went to Ravenloft was on a bargain.#we're so past the wining and dining phase that it's unreal#but he'd convinced a party member to turn traitor and is moving in on another because he knows we work better being coaxed#barovia is so so scary and you know what? vampire castle supreme seems real nice sometimes.#in terms of power i was specifically thinking of when he found out we resurrected leo and collected him after 3 business days#he only used force after we acted first#and then was all “look what you made me do.”#good fucking god#and obviously#it's control while maintaining the illusion of culpability on our part. but it works. oh... does it work.#i know some DMs have him being very traditionally forceful and i think that's a great interpretation#because the first strahd game i was in leaned heavy into that#but i think our strahd in this game uses vampire-as-seduction in an extraordinarily cool way.#i had the same DM for both and i think this version is some fine fine work.#curse of strahd spoilers#cos: the sorority

Does anyone else feel a debilitating fear of getting better? Is this normal? Does it secretly prove I'm just faking everything for attention? Probably tbh
#cicadas vent tag#likr#i was looking at my knee would and realised it was getting kinda better#and felt almost . disappointed and afraid#and with mental illness the feeling is rven worse#like of course i want to get better!!! obviously!!!#but i feel almost sad when i realized i havent had a suicidal thought in a while#but tbh#the fear of never getting better is also terrifying#it must be so annoying to watch me hate myself and hurt myself over and over again and not get any better#but the idea of getting better is scary too#yknow?#its all terrifying#maybe the only non scary reality is one where i isolate myself from all of my friends forever#but that just makes me sad#ok this feels kind of all over the place but . idk its a very all over the place kind of feeling#delete later#ok this one is getting taken out of the drafts early cuz i just refused my parents offer to wash my knee#and one od my thoughts was 'what if it stops hurting'#im fucked up like deeply i think#btw im doing fine now im so cozy just . yeah

I think my major issue with the finale (and s6 overall) is that Buck had SO much going on, 5 different thematically similar internal and external conflicts, and I don't feel like the show did nearly enough to weave them together or show the progress of them onscreen.
I have no idea why Buck was no longer scared to "pick the wrong couch again." I know why he was interested in Natalia specifically, but not the bigger emotional picture of how/why he got over this emotional hurdle.
I have no idea how he's changed since the lightning strike - they told us he has, but what's actually going on in his head? I have literally no idea.
I don’t know what kind of growth he experienced via the donor baby. I know he decided he could be donor-not-dad from the get go, stuck to that throughout the pregnancy, and then had a wistful moment gazing at his progeny. But that doesn't really feel like a big emotional moment when he's been saying it's not his kid for 8 months.
I know he started the season wanting more professional responsibility and ended it taking charge when the 118 was in danger, but I don't know what skills he acquired in the interim to allow him to do it successfully. I don't know how he feels about it. I don't even know if by the finale he still WANTED to lead. It was fine enough payoff, but it certainly wasn't an "Eddie suiting up in Mayday" kind of payoff.
I know his coma dream taught him Lessons but I don't know how they're reflected in his real life?
Compare how his arcs this season played out to Hen and med school, or Eddie and dating and I think you can see the massive deficiencies in Buck's season. And I'm totally aware that they need to leave things open so they have somewhere to go next season, but all of his (many, many) storylines having such a lack of emotional depth is a real bummer.
I think it would've been magnitudes better if he had really struggled on screen with the donation, so that moment of him handing the baby off to Kameron would've shown some real growth. A single conversation about him needing to not be scared to live because he DIED as an explanation for dating again. We sort of half-got a lot of these things - Buck telling everyone Kameron was pregnant and the onesie, Buck at the cemetery saying every day is a gift - but they didn't really commit to any of it, and they certainly didn't give themselves the time to flesh all of it out. All in all, for a very Buck heavy season, I don't feel like I know Buck any better, and I know he's made some steps forward, but only because they told us he did. I really would've liked to see the emotional journey to get there.
#obviously I have not gone back and rewatched the season in full so idk if this thought process will hold up#but i really feel that they gave him SO much to do that he kinda wound up doing nothing#and while yes a lot of things may have to happen offscreen on a show like this#i feel like his storylines required so much inference on very little content#and then in the end the show went 'this is what this plotline was about :)' which is. not very satisfying at all#I really wanted to feel satisfied with Buck handing off that baby.#but 'guy who's fine just being a donor having a moment with his offspring before giving him to mom' is like. not very poignant lmao#sliding the writers a note that says 'show don't tell'#i think these are my last critical thoughts on the finale cuz theres not much else to say#911 spoilers#911 fox

you guys know that "landlords are leeches get a real job" is a haha funny bit you say to illustrate the hypocrisy of the rhetoric surrounding work and what qualifies as 'contributing' to capitalist society and not a coherent leftist belief right? you guys are saying that because it's funny to watch landlords sputter to come up with a response to the kind of attitude they have always subjected tenants and renters to and not because you genuinely believe your worth is determined by the money you earn under capitalism, right? you understand that once you believe it is possible for someone (even landlords) to be a 'leech' on society if they arent working (or aren't working enough, or aren't doing the right kind of work, etc), this will bleed into the way you think of everyone else too, right? you guys know that legitimate and meaningful critiques of landlords are not and can never be based on whether or not they are working because that is irrelevant to the fact that they own property for the express purpose of charging other people for access to shelter, which is a basic human need and shouldnt be controlled by the whims of Some Guy just because its his name on the deed... right???
#good idea generator#preaching to the choir on this one for sure i just sometimes see interactions on this website that worry me#like babygirl what about people who cannot work due to circumstance ability or both? ppl who will NEVER work?#do u think theyre leeches too??? you can SAY 'oh well i obviously dont mean those ppl' but like#the rhetoric was designed to be used against Those People specifically to turn YOU against THEM when youre on the same side#its funny to use against the ruling class but its not like. effective except as a snappy comeback#additionally what about landlords who do work?? who have dayjobs??#landlords who do live in the property they rent. who rent out bedrooms or basement suites or the like#are these people no longer leeches? do you think this system of land ownership is fine if all parties have jobs??#do you see what i am saying. it is not possible to critique capitalism as a system#while relying on the frameworks capitalism uses to prop itself up.#you will only EVER end up tacitly supporting the very thing you declare youre against

#mine#is there like. a good site to actually catch up & keep up w it btw cause our usual manga site is behind#yttd#yttd manga#yttd spoilers#i am. VERY curious which route it will go on but it's gonna be a long ass while before it gets to that point#but. like. since it is somewhat different storywise i assume it's an au??? or just not canon????#idk i dont rly know anything i just knew it existed & i took a curious gander & was traumatized.#& i did it in call w friends & they were like 'hm. maybe. u should not be reading that rn' & i was like. '. u right.'#I DIDNT EXPECT IT TO FUCK W ME THAT MUCH BC I PLAYED THE GAME & IT WAS OBVIOUSLY /A LOT/#BUT I WAS FINE FOR THE MOST PART CONSIDERING THE THEMES & CONTENT BUT MAN#they rly said 'no no. no how the games did it w the graphic description wasn't enough. they gotta SEE him melt here'.#NO WE DIDNT NEED TO SEE THAT ACTUALLY THE DESCRIPTION LEFT ENOUGH TO THE MENTALLY ILL IMAGINATION TY

So the one reason to go to Arkansas is to drive through a town named "Flippin," where everything sounds like a euphemism. Flippin Fire Dept. Flippin School. Flippin Police. Etc.
While that does sound charming, I don't know that justifies a trip to Arkansas
#when I was considering moving to georgia#a place I had not been yet#I was at this hole in the wall thai restaurant with a friend#and the tables were soooo close together#and there was a couple next to us#and the one boyfriend was just like hissing that he was NOT going to move to Arkansas#he didn't care HOW good his bf's job offer was#he was NOT GOING#he could get a job ANYWHERE ELSE#and while GA is not quite on the same level as Arkansas I was like gosh that is what i'm feeling right now#it's soooo far south#anyway I did move to GA and it was fine#although that feels disingenuous#I very rarely left the city and in the city I very rarely met anyone who was actually FROM GA#this one time I stopped for gas in what is apparently a small shitty town#and I'm white but apparently I was OBVIOUSLY not from around there#because there were like five old men sitting at the bar of the little gas station restaurant#who stopped talking when I walked in and just... watched me#as I bought a snack for the road and asked where the bathroom was#just silently disapprovingly watching this outsider... utilize a gas station#the girl working the register seemed apologetic#when i went back out to my car I could see all them watching me from the window#so I do think there are parts of GA that straight up suck#and had I been a different race I think my safety would have been in question that day#but Atlanta was fine for the most part#weirdly full of people from Chicago
