#and refuse to share them with anyone

[here-there-were-dragons]

as a general rule, on average, if americans consistently complain about a food being conceptually weird, gross, and scary, then it probably tastes amazing. or at least inoffensive.

this is because in my experience americans for the most part (give or take a few exceptions by region) think eating literally anything other than beef, chicken, bread, eggs, peanut butter jelly sandwitches, ketchup, and disgusting cloyingly artificial brown sludge soda is insurmountably weird, gross, and scary.

#a lot of people literally refuse to even eat ham or pork #not even for like religious or health reasons #just because they think eating anything but beef and chicken is 'weird and scary and gross' #every time i hear people going on en masse about how 'weird and an acquired taste' something foreign is i go and try it and i'm just like #what the fuck were all of you smoking. where is the unbearable weirdness i am supposed to be experiencing #shoutout to that time i kept hearing about how bizarre a flavor milkis soda is and how intimidating and acquired of a taste #then when i actually try the stuff. it's just fucking peach soda. it's peach soda with a faint tangy yogurtish taste. it makes good floats. #how in the absolute fuck is anything even remotely weird much less gross about this? #unless your concept of what a 'soda' should be is poisoned by a lifetime of the entire soda aisle being filled with nothing but brown sludg #from the same 3 brands that all taste like what would happen if they could distill the concept of diabetes and artificial flavoring syrup #i don't know if other countries have this but there's this weird cultural like mandatory rejection of any 'unusual' food here #way more intense than i've seen from anyone from any other country (though that might just be inexperience with other cultures talking) #people react to the mere suggestion of any food outside a very narrow range with outright disgust and genuine fear and horror #and there's a huge amount of unspoken peer pressure on everyone to also do the same #like you're expected to agree with them and you've breeched some sort of silent social contract if you don't #it's seen as *immoral* almost it feels like #it's difficult to describe unless you've noticed it yourself #americans react to the mere suggestion of eating anything outside of the same 2 meats and handful of fillers the same way #that pearl-clutching aristocrat grandmas react to hearing that people in foreign countries do.. basically anything #it doesnt matter if you're suggesting eating ube cake or suggesting eating live bugs because people will react the same way #everything that's not chicken/beef/ect is as good as bugs to people here #hate this stupid blandass country and how impossible it is to afford any food other than burgers if you're not rich #or blessed with relatives that have any idea how to cook and are at all willing to teach you #cause nother weird thing i've noticed about food culture-or at least wasp food culture-that i haven't seen anywhere else quite the same way #is that if you DO have any relatives that know how to cook then nine times out of ten they will jealously guard their recipes like a dragon #and refuse to share them with anyone #thus taking whatever little cooking knowledge was in the family to their grave #so the opportunity other people usually have for family bonding via passing on recipes? pffft no. #for some reason we seem to actively go out of our way to prevent these things from being passed on #i don't know what the fuck is up with that but i suspect it has something to do with 50's dinner party oneupmanship

idc about "toxic traits" or "red flags" whats your fatal flaw

#🐉 #in the interest of sharing mine is that i cant stand to not be who i say i am #which means that i refuse to expect anyone to do anything im not willing to do myself #and if anyone tries to call my bluff ill do anything to prove them wrong #'haha you wont do it' is like a sleeper agent activation phrase for me #you dont have to share your fatal flaws in the tags though this is first and foremost a sillypost

So I fully support the idea that Hound cuddles with Grizzer.

I like to think that Hound actually brings Grizzer (who is very well trained, mind you) into the barracks at night and cuddles with him.

He always comes in later, sneaking the good boy in, and always leaves early in the morning before anyone can see.

But one day Hound sleeps in, he’s just too tired and doesn’t get paid enough. A bunch of the vod just wake up and see a group around one of the bunks. They head over and lo and behold they’re just staring at this brother holding a FULL GROWN MASSIFF like a stuffed animal, and they’re both snoring happily. (Bonus points if Grizzer is under the covers and tucked in)

Finally Fox shows up, stares at the two, who are still asleep (Hound and Grizzer have been on patrol nonstop, give them a break) and Fox just groans loudly before waving his men away and saying “Leave them, I’ll talk to him later about making sure Grizzer doesn’t make any accidents in the barracks,” before he just walks away.

And from then on Grizzer has his own food and water dishes and squeaky toys in the barracks and the Corrie guards all argue over who gets first snuggles with the good doggo before he goes to bed for the night with Hound.

Grizzer is now the official Coruscant Guard emotional support massiff as well as the communal teddy bear.

#clone wars #this was too precious an idea not to share #sergeant hound #commander fox #grizzer #corrie guard #Grizzer is a very good boy #bonus: a lot of the boys try to give him treats to try to bribe him into sleeping with them #and it works to an extent he does give extra snuggles #but Grizzer refuses to sleep with ANYONE but Hound

guys if yall are gonna take pearls side and preach about being normal to other people on the internet then you also have to not harass the people who disagreed with her in the first place. the first rule of being a decent person should be "don't be hypocritical" and also like. pearl literally asked u to not do that

#for the record. the correct action here is blocking #idk idk i just found a few posts and blocked the OPs but also saw them getting a bunch of asks. like yall. just block em #you dont help your case when you turn around and do the exact same thing to other people #ANYWAY. since im here well within the tags i just wanna share. #while on a brief rabbit hole through people involved in this discourse i realized one of them was literally someone i have had blocked LOL #history repeats? im like. oh okay. that tracks #will never be saying who though godbless i am better than that and refuse to get deeper into discourse or name anyone by name <3 #discourse #please god let this be my last post on it

thinking just a bit too hard about how the added depth given to tifa and aerith's friendship only increases the weight threatening to crush tifa after the forgotten capital, she already had so much to carry on her weary shoulders, she's going to have to carry even more when mideel happens, and it doesn't even stop after meteorfall, ohg od oh i love her so much i

#(sobbing and crying and snotting everywhere) AERITH GAVE HER SOMEONE TO CONFIDE IN ON SUCH A TUMULTUOUS JOURNEY #SOMEONE SHE COULD BE AS CLOSE TO FULLY RELAXED AS POSSIBLE #SOMEONE TO GOSSIP WITH OR SHARE HER CONCERNS OR JUST. BE A NORMAL GIRL WITH #YUFFIE'S THERE BUT SHE'S JUST A KID AND TIFA WOULD NEVER WANT TO HARM THE AIR OF CAREFREE CHILDISHNESS SHE MANAGES TO MAINTAIN EVEN IF #ITS BECAUSE YUFFIE IS HIDING THINGS THAT ARE CRUSHING HER #but poor tifa . gentle tifa. is now left to regret. to blame herself. #she has barret who acts like a father figure to her sure - but despite how much she cares about him and values her frienship with him #he's not aerith. he's not someone she can just gossip about first loves with. not someone she can fully Relate to. if you get what i mean #she is left to trace back the thread of how poor aerith got caught in this mess #she was the one to ask aerith to save marlene. but how did they get there? aerith refused to let cloud be a bystander in wall market #how did that happen? she made a risky choice that put her in a position where their paths crossed. why? because cloud was briefly lost #during the bombing mission. why did the bombing mission happen? she couldn't stop it. ETC ETC #NONE OF IT WAS HER FAULT... BUT SHE NEVER WANTED TO DRAG INNOCENT PEOPLE INTO THIS AT ANY SINGLE POINT #AND NOW SOMEONE WHO QUICKLY BECAME A CLOSE FRIEND IS GONE oh lord my heart #all of this added onto the things like how alone she was in nibelheim... it was just her and her dad for some years after the boys all left #and then the Incident happens and she loses that last person she had... and to an extent another she didn't even know was right there(cloud #god i could talk about her and how she has suffered more than jesus for ages (happy easter. lmao) #FF7 Rebirth spoilers #just in case?? for anyone who's only playing the remakes i guess. since this was basically already there the remakes just elaborate on it #i think about 'we found you!' 'i guess you did!' SO OFTEN #these two girls mean the world to me and i will not let you reduce them to love interest rivals #when tifa ran over to aerith's body i think everyone in the world heard my heart shattering into dust #these thoughts are a bit disjointed and don't articulate well what i mean but god. god. i am thinking about her today

Okay so like I currently have a fever so maybe I'm just out of it BUT

Imagine Parker and Hardison trying to coax Eliot into a hot tub because he got the crap beat out of him and the warm water will be good for his muscle.

QWAT version, Quinn walks by and just whole ass falls in, suit and all.

dljfglksfhk i am imagining parker and hardison having this Tough Recurring Eliot Conversation about how just because he Can sit with pain doesn't mean he Has to etc etc etc soft moment tender moment

and then quinn tumbles face-first directly into the hot tub

#was it intentional? maybe. who knows. he pretends everythings intentional so its anyones guess #he stays sitting in the hot tub in his full suit relaxing refusing to admit that he slipped in a puddle and ate shit <3 #I LOVE THEM. BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS EXCELLENT THOUGHT #i hope ur fever subsides soon and u feel better <3 <3 <3 but ur fevered brain is also producing excellent thoughts so thank u 4 sharing #finchtalks

Y’all are so mean to Stede, I swear to god.

#he’s not appreciably more selfish than anyone else on the show #he is not a chronic leaver #honestly Ed has a slightly bigger problem with being both self-centered and a leaver than Stede does #he and Mary both tried in their marriage but they had a mutual communication problem that lead to mutual hurt #he does not have some overbearing need for power and control #he isn’t refusing to share how he feels he’s just waiting for someone to ask #he’s not passive aggressive if for no other reason than he’s really fucking bad at it #(he is bitchy though) #constantly I am subjected to posts where people say the meanest things about Stede #insisting they love him when it’s like girl you won’t even give him the benefit of the doubt #and it’s like oh curate your experience #i am *trying* Bethany but there are a few big names who have these shitty opinions on Stede and now everyone accepts them as gospel #you can only curate so much before you curate yourself right out of the fandom #ofmd #stede bonnet

‘wheatish’ ‘dusky’ STOP just say brown it won’t hurt u. it won’t i promise

#from my wonderful light skinned mother who still has a deeply ingrained bias towards #fair skin and just can’t accept that her daughter is dark #and also can’t ever equate dark to beautiful #anyway dark skin is so beautiful all skin tones are beautiful i grew up to realise that hope that anyone struggling with it can see their #beauty too ❤️ #horrifying how so much of the country is dark skinned and yet even there finding a foundation shade is so difficult #have to give the western makeup brands points for inclusivity seen more from them than i ever did from my own #also the way they just refuse to say brown. it’s so annoying. just SAY it it’s not a bad word please i beg of you #glad i didn’t grow up there or my relatives would have made me hate myself and my skin forever #all of them are so light skinned 😀 it’s just me and my dad 👍 #rmb when my grandma would scrub my skin w exfoliant every time we visited the country to try and scrub off my dark skin 😀 like the colour #was dirty 💀 #or the way my family thinks it’s a compliment to new parents when they tell them ‘your child reflects so much light 😍😍 hes so fair’ #or when they say oh u were so fair as a baby… you became darker 😬 #grew up in a country where the majority race has very fair skin and yet they never made me feel like my own race has 😐 #over sharing on tumblr yet again who cld i tell this to #took me so long. but dark skin is so beautiful and my heart goes out to everyone who is made to think otherwise #like. even as someone whose parents immigrated to another country #i keep hearing the nonsense from aunts and grandparents and paretsn and COUSINS 💀 #cant imagine how bad it would have been otherwise

tag rant 👍

#sorry i refuse to embarrass myself by making a post but i have nobody else to talk to about this #experiencing the biggest reach of my life but i need to share it but i don’t have anyone to share it with so. you guys #but anyway i find it interesting how alice is given that same lighting will is given in the van #or just the ones that make him ‘the light’ y’know? alice gets that lighting after she sees the dead rabbit but much more intense #and im working on the It parallel stuff right #like It is definitely representing both henry and the mf as a combined force and that’s a whole other thing #and It only has one natural enemy: maturin. maturin is Its brother #iirc maturin is heavily associated with bright lights #maturin also has the ability to create new galaxies/dimensions #so what if alice was the one who created the UD somehow #It’s ability is many things but the most important one is being the Eater of Worlds #hence maturin being Its natural enemy because It can never achieve its goal as long as maturin creates more worlds #henry wants to ‘fix’ the world and alice introduced a new world that could be tampered with and later need ‘fixing’ #which makes it funny that henry is the one who fucked it up in the first place #or it could be a demonstration of how henry’s idea of a perfect world destroys it whereas alice will keep introducing more worlds that #would’ve been fine without the tampering of human nature #which could also play into the multiple UDs theory #but also that makes the connection to will even more interesting if we consider will’s powers to be the merging of worlds #if he can bring them together he may very well be able to push them apart #which would make him another enemy of henry by making these worlds untouchable #‘but how would both the kids have powers’ well considering virginia’s ties to brenner and some of the filming choices made i think it isn’t #too far out to say she might have powers which is how her children got them #she made brenner fix her and tried to make him fix henry too but alice’s abilities would have been unnoticeable bc they work outside of the #RU #and if alice is a character who ends up returning she could be the one to teach will how to use his powers #cause who else would be able to know how to do that #this is very out there however i needed to get it out of my head #it parallels

My liking for older stuff really came out of nowhere I must admit. Like it has ALWAYS interested me. When I was little the only shows I’d really watch were shows my mum used to watch (70s/80s) and I’ve always wanted more, then peter davison hyperfixation hit and suddenly I know too much (even things my mum doesn’t know even though she was alive when they aired)

#its just truly shocking to me #I had a conversation with a paramedic the other day about my mini (the car) obsession #and I refused to admit the celebrity who started that was Chris Barrie #it’s embarrassing sometimes because either people know them and don’t like them #or they don’t know them #I’ve never met anyone IRL that likes peter davison or Chris Barrie at all #(closest is my brother being a red dwarf fan) #I wish more people shared those interests #and I know its obvious from how much I talk about them #but I do love these shows a lot and it does hurt to see them forgotten #even if they did have a good run when they aired #I just think it’s fascinating because there’s so much to learn #and it’s all not even that long ago #like in the 80s peter Howell did some lessons type things where he demonstrated the doctor who theme and how it’s made #and all the technology is still so interesting #as well as the views of it (he once said a computer wasn’t as big as people would assume and it was still huge #this has turned into a rant #but I am very passionate about it #and I think it’s cruel to let things be forgotten because there was always a group of people who worked really hard on it #if anyone has gotten to this point you can recommend me some other shows if you want #I’m interested in anything other people have to say

Gods I'm so glad I have the power to draw stupid ridiculous things. I've had two ideas in the last week for art pieces that made me cackle like a little gremlin for 30 minutes. And already, my decision to follow through on these ideas has been a great success!

It is very important to feed the silliness gremlin!!! Ze offers gifts of happiness and naturally occurring self-improvement! Should ze wither from lack of food, so shall artistic motivation and the joy I find in my craft!

So you see, it is absolutely vital that the gremlin be allowed to thrive and grow on a steady supply of shitposts and profoundly ridiculous pornography.

This will, in turn, help with my depression - making this fake isekai cover as well as this very dumb video game porn I just made into Medical Necessities, Actually. 😌😤🤡

#original #honestly I don't know if anyone else is going to find these things funny but I am going to share them when I finish #because it doesn't really matter if people have a different sense of humor than me. as long as I'm not hurting people with my jokes then #I'm really at peace with the fact that some of my jokes just aren't going to land #how did I come to peace with that fact? I hung out with people who didn't need me to bat 1000 when it came to social interactions #i love you fellow autistics. i hope you (and anyone reading this) give yourself permission to make something absurd and just for you #it was such a game changer when i realized that in order to be able to take joy in art again i basically had to follow every silly whim #i remember how exciting it was when after years of art only for profit and exposure i just made something just for me. it was incredible #and I know that if I ever want to finish my graphic novel with all its Big Important Meaningful Ideas then i have to make sure it's #not blocking me from feeding the silliness gremlin. I have to get distracted and draw dumb shit. and I have to do it without feeling guilty #because as soon as I feel guilty for doing something fun with my art then the graphic novel has become more of a chore than a work of love #and I refuse to let this be taken from me like that. not again. not with this. #art helps keep me alive and silliness helps keep my art alive! anything threatening my ability to make art poses a threat to my very self #I am deadass serious when I say that silly little things are necessary for living. #and i am very much serious at all when i say i am a GENIUS WHO HAS THE FUNNIEST ISEKAI IDEA EVER #I mean I was well and truly cackling I don't know if you've ever heard someone genuinely cackle in person but I CACKLED #*very much not serious at all
