#I knew it was too good to be true

Me thinking the Mammon episode was kinda good and then seeing the critical community point out all the glaring flaws I missed (seriously Viv, someone flashing the audience where a CHILD is present???) 😭

While we’re on the subject of that kid, is he like, actually enjoying the concert? Like I’m no deaf person so idk how they would go about enjoying concerts and stuff but there’s no interpreter as far as I can tell, barely any subtitles if I’m remembering correctly, some weirdo approaching Fizz on stage (where the hell was Mammon when that happened, like HELLO that’s your money right there!!!) and all sorts of perverts in the audience who are taking off their clothes and humping sex toys, like wtf is this kid okay???

And like I said on Twitter if Fizz is just gone from the entertainment business for good, like…damn, imagine meeting your idol only for him to quit the very same night

#helluva boss critical #jazz rambles #late to the party i know #I knew it was too good to be true #I knew there had to be SOMETHING off about the episode #I just didn’t process it after my initial watch

Having now seen the Shawn Levy interview, I am even more pissed. They have done crazier things on this show and he's the best thing they've done since deciding to keep Steve around. It wouldn't be hard for them at all. They're just fucking stubborn.

that’s why i hate those men with every fiber of my being

I did some more digging on the whole "mormon church supports respect for marriage act/lgbtqia+ marriage"

It's important to start off with this,

“What the RFMA does not do is 'codify' Obergefell, as many media outlets have inaccurately reported […] The RFMA will benefit same-sex couples if, and only if, SCOTUS overrules the right to equal marriage. (Note: the church has never supported Obergefell, so why would't they support overturning the ruling??????)

Start with the easy part: The RFMA repeals the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a 1996 law that bars the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages. It replaces DOMA with a requirement that the federal government recognize any marriage that was 'valid in the place where entered into. So if a same-sex couple obtains a valid marriage license from any state, the federal government must recognize their union.”

Source

In short, RFMA only protects marriages across state lines, and doesn't codify Obergefell

That being said…. I saw an exmo tic toker talk about how the church is only showing support for RFMA because if there comes a day when a state won't recognize sealings as secular marriage the church isn’t in a hole bc they’ve “supported RFMA this whole time”

Also they made a statement that they are supporting RFMA to "heal relationships" and that "doctrine" regarding marriage remains the same (i.e. their butt hurt David archuleta left them and are trying their darnest to make sure BYU doesn't loose their accreditation)

Source: they also released their own statement through their news room but there is no way in hell I'm clicking on that link

TL;DR the mormon church hasn't changed and is only looking out for themselves and their cult practices

I bought some reusable pads the other day and they arrived and they look nice so I’ll try them when I can but. It came w like a little card with a Bible quote on it. The website had like, zero religious content and I am a bit confused why there’s a QR code I should scan for ‘gods message to me’ next to the QR code for a paperless user guide.

#ra speaks #personal #i knew it was too good to be true #the company was reccomended by tumblr users so I was sure there would be a catch but their website looked good but this is just. #a little weird and unprompted ngl.

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

#this is true #writeblr #warm up #relatedly for some reason one of our Favorite Jokes #amongst the Siblings #is like - ''this is so good u will love it'' #while we are reacting to something we OBVIOUSLY find viscerally disgusting #like we will be actively retching and be like ''nooooo it's so good'' #to the point that i sometimes get nervous if someone outside my family is like oh u should try it its good #(obvi we never force each other to eat anything. we are all just curious birds and #like. we're GONNA try the new thing.) #edit to answer why we had so much vanilla: #my mom is a very good cook and we LOVE to bake. so she just had a lot of staples in the house. #it's one of those things that's like. have u ever continuously thought ''ah i should get butter im probably out'' #even tho u are not out of butter. so u end up with like 5 years of butter. #my mom would do that in a costco but like with vanilla extract #to be fair we WERE always using WAY TOO MUCH bc we were kids #so like she was right to stock up #ps. yes we were VERY sick after this lol i just didn't want to include it in the post in case ppl had an ick about that #u can tell it's real bc we knew "oh no we fucked up that's too much vanilla to waste'' but our reaction was to just. keep drinking it #> sibling understanding that vanilla extract isn't free > knowledge mother doesnt mind if we use it for milkshakes #> sibling choice to maybe get in a loophole of ''not wasting it'' if we drink it bc that's the same as using it (not throwing it out) #listen bud i was like 13 and my sister was like 9 #when my mom discovered this we. got in. A LOT. of trouble. a lot of it. a LOT of it. #3rd edit bc i guess it isn't clear - i am 1 of my brother's 2 little sisters #i am the middle child #out of all the ways i have had to explain a post before being like ''did u forget a middle child can happen'' is my favorite
