i know that "unalive" is part of larger worrying trend of self censorship but if you really are in a situtation where you have to avoid the words "die" or "kill" the english language already has centuries worth of much better euphemisms. the iconic and perennial "six feet under"? the lovely imagery of "pushing up daisies"? "shuffle off this mortal coil"????? literally anything from the monty python dead parrot bit???? you have so many options. please try to be more creative at least
With costume reuse comes another kind of reuse – fabric. The distinctively colored striped silk fabric has also been used for a costume seen in Return to Cranford and Belgravia.
This waistcoat has been used in several productions depicting the late 18th century through the 19th century. It first turned up in the 1999 TV series The Scarlet Pimpernel, in both the second and third episode of the first season, where it was worn by Anthony Green as Andrew Ffoulkes.
From there, it was briefly used in the 2008 sixth episode of the miniseries John Adams, where Zak Orth wore it as James McHenry.
It appeared next in the 2009 miniseries adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma, where Robert Bathurst wore the waistcoat as the character Mr.Weston.
Most recently, the piece showed up in the first episode of the 2024 show The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, where Noel Fielding wore it in the title role.
...there are so many beautiful forms of the humble potato... I adore them all... but I might go with a dauphinoise that's eternally good shit. Or just a nice mash.
7- what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?
Similarly, I love pretty much everything about the aquarium, but especially the jellyfish and octopodes. In the Open Ocean tank I'm always looking to see if there's currently a sunfish, but that's mostly because my mum really loves sunfish so they make me think of her. The MBA's jellyfish live cams have got me through many a stressful exam season, I can tell you that.
8- do you change into specific clothes for the house when you get home?
Nah but I do take off my socks and jewelry. I hate wearing socks when I am not also wearing shoes, and taking off jewelry makes me feel Relaxed.
14- do you think you’re dehydrated?
Right now? Yes definitely absolutely. I just got home from being out of state for a week and hotels are dry and airplanes are even dryer. I've been chugging water to try and settle the headaches but it will take a Bit.
18- your boba/tea order?
I know this is asking about boba shops specifically but I'm gonna answer about straight up tea first. I love maltier black teas like yunnan and assam, I'm a sucker for a good lapsang souchong, and while there's a lot of green teas I like my go-to is genmaicha. I usually take milk and no sugar in black tea, though I might add a little sugar if it's something like an Earl Grey that has a citrus note in it, because that gets punched up nicely.
As for what the question was actually asking-- some kind of black milk tea, varying based on what they have and what looks good, with crystal boba and/or salt-cheese cream, the lowest sweet level above zero that they'll do.
Remember that time I brought up that AoT TikTok audio? And @liferemains made a really sick edit? And I said I wanted to make a drawing about it? Yeah.
(Also I'd be lying if I said I didn't get the idea to include the movie boys from the recent pages of @pdalicedraws crossover comic that is awesome and amazing and everyone needs to go read right now)
Having never eaten at Chipotle in my life I cannot answer this directly (I've been inside one once, but it was to pick up a friend's little sister), but as far as vaguely-Mexican food in general I like a burrito with carnitas and refried beans. Significant quantities of lettuce also important to keep it from being like a stone in the stomach. Sour cream and guacamole important to the experience.
2- thoughts on veganism?
It's not my business what anybody chooses to put in their bodies, and if eating vegan makes someone feel healthier and more comfortable all power to them! I was vegetarian for a while in middle and high school, and quit because it was bad for my body personally, but everybody's built a little different from each other. For some folks it works great!
That said I think the supposed eco benefits have been vastly exaggerated and sometimes outright lied about; the amount of misinformation about how farms work and such makes it really difficult to have that discussion. In short: if you're vegan and you're coming over for dinner I will make sure you have something delicious and appropriate for you, but if you give me shit about eating meat we will not be friends long.
3- a specific color that gives you the ick?
Well the phrasing "gives [one] the ick" itself makes me shudder lmao. I think all colours can be lovely in different contexts but it's hard to make chartreuse work. Possible, especially out in nature where it occurs on its own! But difficult lol.
29- preferred pasta noodle?
Different sorts are good with different sauces, but I'm always down for rotini or fettucine~
Out of curiosity and also guilt over my own coffee intake. I wanna ask:
Now I'm not talking about when you're studying and so you drink 3x the usual amount or something like that. This isn't me asking what your record is. I'm talking about the most basic, average day, how many coffees you drink?
Everybody acts like each new Game Changer is a new level of betrayal and psychological torture from Sam towards his friends.
Did we forget that the very first game changer was "Sam wheels out a strange machine and asks the contestants embarrassing personal questions, the veracity of their responses is judged by the Machine.
The machine is actually controlled by the contestant's significant others who have been made accomplices. Forcing their loved ones into revealing shameful truths for internet broadcast."
And sure, he's gotten a bit more personalized with these, constructing a variety of torture chambers for Brennan Lee Mulligan specifically, putting Grant O'Brien in various situations and then bringing his mother onto the set. But deception and betrayal were part of Game Changer from the beginning.
So, when I hear people say "I can't believe Sam WENT THERE" about something all I can do is think to myself
He went nowhere
He's been there the whole time
