If the primary colors were to get into a fight, which would win and why?

good question would this include the additive and subtractive models? red vs blue vs yellow vs green vs cyan vs magenta

TBH it would make my fucking life if a character existed that was the explicitly confirmed ace and/or neurodivergent adult character with the 'minor coded' personality or interests (or any other identity or traits really, but I feel like ace and neurodivergent characters get it the worst gee I wonder why), but when some other character tries the infantilizing bullshit of 'oh, no one better talk to or involve you about [nsfw topic] or anything like that bc you're basically minor coded and so innocent and precious and won't get it and it's so predatory and problematic to expose you to it :(' with them they just go-

'What do you mean, of course I know what [nsfw topic] is. Just because I'm an [ace/neurodivergent] adult with [interest] doesn't mean I'm basically a child.' (with any amount of 'I just don't care about it, I don't need to be 'protected' from it' to flavour.)

Ship bingo! I couldn't find any that fit my preferences so I made my own. Feel free to reblog/repost!

My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.

There needs to be a word specifically for the kind of things that you've autisticly decided you Do Not Care About. Like a game or a show or band or whatever where you have nothing specifically against it, you don't hate it or anything, but you've done that thing where you decided you don't care about it at all.

So you get very mildly annoyed when it still manages to show up on your dash, as it's purely a waste of your time. Just something to scroll past.

(I have no idea if more neurotypical people do this, but I know (and am) several autistic people who've done the "THE COUNCIL HAS DECIDED WE DO NOT CARE EVEN SLIGHTLY ABOUT... HALO. ANYTHING WE LEARN ABOUT HALO (AGAINST OUR WILL) IS A WASTE OF MEMORY SPACE AND TIME. You can play and love it all you want though, we have nothing against it. It's just not for me.")

You know, one similarity between Shiki TWEWY and Sumire P5R I'm noticing is a tendency for people to draw them in their, fake, I guess? appearances.

Like so much art of either of them is either Shiki with Eri's appearance or Sumire with Kasumi's (and even both games do them dirty in this way, where 90% of the time they're in their fake appearances while their actual selves are 'saved' for optional scenes or credits sequences) and it's just kinda. Sad I guess? That these girls don't even get to exist in fanart as themselves instead of their more 'appealing' versions.

i had to make a solution for this for myself, mostly because of depression, but it makes a nice How To for folks who are low on spoons or could use some help in the kitchen.

Fortunately i was a professional cook for over a decade. UNfortunately the first post i made explaining it was suuuuper long. Let's see if i can do better

So you select any protein that you can cook in a frying pan -- chicken breasts, ground beef, pork chops, sausages, steak, chicken thighs, whatever. You also select one or two types of veggie (mushrooms or tubers also work, i just did this with potatoes and carrots for dinner tonight).

[i like cooking for vegetarians, but this is how i cook for myself when i'm low on spoons - perhaps i'll do another post for meatless meals]

You'll also need some kind of oil, and a sauce or two of your choice in a bottle. All cooking gear is a large frying pan with lid (i prefer non-stick) a spatula, a cutting board, and a knife.

You cut the veggies into bite size pieces, cut up enough for two meals. One kind of veggie is fine, or you can do mix two or three

Put frying pan on medium heat with a little oil. Tubers or mushrooms or go in the pan a few minutes before the protein. 2 portions of the protein goes in the pan, about 5 minutes with lid (don't worry you can still get a good sear on both sides)

Now flip your protein if it's flip-able and add normal veggies, put the lid back on another five-ish minutes.

Take your protein out and put it with one portion of the veggies in a microwave safe container. That's going to be your lunch tomorrow. Put the other portion of protein on a plate to rest (you have to let a cooked protein sit a couple minutes before you serve it or when you cut into it all the juices run out and it goes dry - the liquids thicken as it cools, preventing this drying out if you let it rest, the goal is to serve it very warm but not hot hot)

While it's resting, pour some sauce from your bottle in the pan with the rest of the veggies and turn up the heat. A single sauce/bottle is fine, i like to get fancy and mix a couple. Two examples of personal favorite mixes are 1: bbq sauce and a hot sauce like sriracha 2: roughly equal parts low sodium soy sauce and worcestershire (makes something similar to a teriyaki sauce) A swallow of wine is almost always a great option if you want to add that to your sauce too, just add it to the pan before the other sauces so the alcohol has time to burn off.

...

Here is the important bit. While your veggies are finishing, wash your cutting board and chef knife. Then when you dump your veggies and sauce over your protein on the plate, while it is still too hot to eat, you wash your frying pan and spatula before you eat. Now the only dishes you have left to do are your plate and fork. Maybe a steak knife.

...

The whole thing takes about 35 minutes even with washing the dishes, and that includes your lunch for the next day- just pour a different sauce on and stick it in the microwave for a couple minutes (or five minutes back in the frying pan) and you have a full healthy lunch with a different flavor

You can use this technique every single meal and it yields hundreds of combinations, from pork and potatoes bbq, to salmon and broccoli teriyaki, to chicken and zucchini in a soy glaze.

It will keep you down to less than an hour of kitchen time per day total for both lunch and dinner including all dish clean up, uses the least dishes, the least effort, requires the least technique, and is, depending on what you pick out, very affordable

here are a couple more examples from this month; i didn’t take pictures of the salmon i did recently, but you get the idea

it's not super fancy, but it is easy, affordable, quick, and any flavors you want. Hope this helps some folks

Happy Cooking!
