Goodnight Splatoon 1's server's and thank you for everything.

I remember seeing the first trailer for Splatoon. At first I wasn't interested at all... a shooter game? Not my style of game play... But then I kept watching and wow... I just got so captivated by what I saw that it was the first game I had ever pre-ordered that wasn't a Pokemon game. I used to do something called the "24 hour challenge" something that no one else but me did because I made it up. I would stay up the full 24 hours for Splatfest for the first handful of Splatfests and play the wholeeeee time. Or at least until my brother wanted to play and I'd take a nap, haha. That stopped once school started up again but those memories of my 24 hour challenges are still ones that I hold close to my heart. My first real Splatoon friend was Nick! We would play the new stages together in recon as soon as they would come out and we were both online. We still talk and I'd still consider him one of my closest friends. Thanks for sticking with me all these years Nick, I appreciate you more than words could ever express. I've made more Splatoon friends over the years and I'm happy to have every single one of you. Here's to the future!

Why don't we call tortilla soup, Deconstructed Taco Soup?

Although neither my oldest, nor I, like the texture of tortillas in soup, so we have farfalle noodles.

so I went to an event today that had a taco food truck, and I spent like an hour staring at it while chatting with my friend and decided I wanted tacos but the only vegetarian taco option they had was fried avocado :/ (this is what I mean when I say I don’t like avocados - an addition to a taco? fine. the main event? um no) so I didn’t get any tacos

but now I still really want tacos and I thought hey, I could make tacos for dinner tonight! but that’s really quite a lot of prep to do for the small amount of tacos just I would eat for dinner. and tacos aren’t really a food that can be meal prepped for the rest of the week, are they? I mean, I’m not going to bring tacos to work for lunch as leftovers. and I love a good burrito bowl, but I really want like, sofritas and cabbage slaw in my tacos rn, not rice/beans/salsa/cheese which is more what I go for in a burrito bowl. I texted two of my friends asking if either of them wanted to come over for dinner for tacos but I haven’t heard back yet, and would need to go buy taco ingredients if they do say they’re coming over, but also I’m not going to buy taco ingredients if no one is coming over for tacos...

anyway this is the kind of thing I’m talking about when I complain about being single/not having a close community. like I’m very grateful for all of my friends and I’m not ignoring the fact that I do frequently have plans with them, but I don’t really have any/enough “come over so I can make tacos” type friends, and I’m single and I live alone so I always eat alone, and some foods are just not worth the prep/clean up if you’re only making them for yourself! and it’s little things like that, all! the! time! which is why I need partnered people to realize how lucky they are sometimes!

#personal rant #tacos #singledom #on being single #like I'm not trying to be bitter...or I'm trying not to be bitter #I know I need to have less of a chip on my shoulder about this #like it's making me a crank sometimes and I don't like that! #but also I want us to have the kind of society where I could be like #hey community friends! who wants impromptu tacos tonight? #and people would show up with like chips and guac or whatever #I guess maybe that exists somewhere but not in my life #and I think people don't prioritize it because most of them have partners #who will make/eat impromptu tacos with them #anyway... #probably what's going to end up happening is I will not make tacos and then will just crave tacos for like a week #until I cave and go out for tacos #or I'll make my tacos and then just like. weirdly bring deconstructed tacos for lunch all week #my coworkers would probably be impressed at least #(this is also making me think about the really good homemade tacos I had on my last date w a person I liked last year) #(before they ended things for what turned out to be deceitful reasons) #(which lowkey is not helping the situation)

meal ideas!

low energy ("do not ask me to do any prep work at all, so help me god")

mozzerella cheese wrapped in pepperoni ("pizza tacos"!)

hummus and pretzels or naan (putting the naan in the microwave for like 10 seconds...heavenly)

canned chili (with shredded cheese and sour cream if you have it! boom done!)

instant miso soup (warm and lovely! put tofu in it for protein!)

cheese and cured meat, olives, canned fish, crackers, dried fruit, or whatever easy "charcuterie" type items you like

alternate bites of apple and spoonfulls of peanut butter (mixing honey or chocolate chips to the peanut butter is my favorite)

a "deconstructed sandwich": bites of lunch meat, pickles, cheese, cherry tomato, etc (I love roast beef and white cheddar for this)

yogurt and granola or fruit

put frozen potstickers + frozen edamame in the steamer/rice cooker, chill elsewhere with a timer set, then boom

tortilla chips + canned refried beans + cherry tomatoes + cilantro + jarred salsa con queso (or warm shredded cheese on top of the chips in the microwave for 30 seconds)

bagel + cream cheese + lox

microwave scrambled eggs (add things like green onion, soy sauce, or anything else you like!)

cottage cheese and fruit (mixed together or just on the side)

bowl of shredded rotisserie chicken + buffalo sauce + a bit of mayo + green onion (use a kitchen scissors to cut them right in!)

medium energy ("I'll boil water but don't ask me to chop shit")

boiled eggs and fresh veggies (put a little salt on top of the eggs!)

buttered noodles (my go-to nausea meal, it has never failed me. ideas of things to add: frozen peas, imitation crab, roasted garlic)

baked potato with toppings (I like cheese, bacon, broccoli, green onion, and sour cream)

quesadilla (add some canned beans, cilantro, or avocado!)

pot roast (requires a lot of time but not a lot of actual work. I love it with peas!)

cuban sandwich (bread, swiss, pickle, mustard, ham... my favorite thing to panini-ify by far)

pan-fried tofu with scallion sauce (this sauce goes well with everything and tofu is no exception)

pancakes or waffles! (I love mine with jam)

ham, pickle, and cream cheese roll-ups

fried eggs (with toast and lots of butter...so comforting)

fruit smoothie (bananas, frozen strawberries, yogurt...or whatever!)

I hate salad but could write essays on this copycat olive garden salad (throw it in a bowl! chopping required if you use onion)

spaghetti (controversial maybe but angel hair > spaghetti noodles)

pasta salad (olives broccoli fresh mozerella... those little mini pepperonis... yeah)

stir-fried thai garlic shrimp (I like using the mini frozen salad shrimps, it's easy! use jarred minced garlic to avoid chopping!)

tuna mayo onigiri

slow cooker ribs

buffalo chicken wrap (or any number of other wrap options! shred pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to make it easier)

if your local grocery store sells pre-cooked gyro strips, that can turn into an easy wrap with store-bought pita & tzatziki with tomatoes and onions!

couscous and chickpeas

tortellini + pasta sauce + spinach

high energy ("I don't mind chopping some things up!")

stuffed shells with spinach

chicken and roasted garlic (oh my god.....one of my all time favorites)

beef tacos (I like mine with cilantro and onion, and when I'm feeling especially high energy I love a tomatillo salsa)

chicken alfredo

tom kha gai (a thai soup and my absolute favorite! you just need access to galangal)

lasagna! (freezes well and then boom! low energy meal for later)

pad thai! (not as hard as you'd think, as long as you have access to tamarind paste!)

potstickers! (this is a lovely group activity if you want to cook with housemates!)

rice and beans

bang bang shrimp (ogughfhgfuh I love it. you can also do bang bang tofu!)

minestrone soup (so many nice veggies!)

fried rice (put whatever you have on hand in there! broccoli, peas, carrot, and beef is my favorite combo)

broccoli cheddar soup

spring rolls and peanut sauce

skewers (such as beef, onion, zucchini, bell pepper... you don't need a grill, oven works!)

roasted turkey with garlic parmesean asparagus

pork chop with mashed potatoes

panang curry

chicken gnocchi soup (use store bought gnocchi or make your own if you have a high energy day!)

bibimbap (super customizable depending on what veggies you like best)

butter chicken

plus! things that have helped me meal plan:

whenever you think of a meal you'd like to make, take 3 seconds to google search it, take a screenshot of the image results, and put it in a "food ideas" folder. instant visual menu!

the concept of "meal prepping" makes me recoil but I've learned that it can simply mean preparing shredded chicken, boiled eggs, or some other simple protein that you can customize throughout the week. shredded chicken can turn into wraps, salads, pasta dishes, etc... you don't have to meal prep yourself into the same meal all week!

when I have difficulty working up an appetite, I'll scroll through my favorite restaurant menus! there might be some foods I can't make at home, but many times they're very simple to recreate because the ingredients are literally listed!

#brought to you by: i see people complaining about coming up with meals for the week #and im like..this is my favorite thing to do........let me be your meal brainstormer #additionally brought to you by: eating something is better than nothing so some of these may not be complete textbook 'meals' #but sometimes you feel like shit and just need something! so! #also this energy scale is tailored to me personally so if some categorizations dont make sense to you thats bc its about me <3 #food #i might update this with dessert ideas too later. or just add to it in general

i love missa.

if you don’t know what missa is like, please allow me to inform you:

(this basically became liveblogging the stream oops)

despite being told multiple times to not dirty this towel that q put down on the counter saying “that’s the only towel in the entire house” missa continues to flip every. single. food item on the towel. the tacos and burritos fall apart. q is in despair. every time.

he is in shambles over these american ass burritos.

i keep laughing so fucking hard.

he’s eating so messy. q has to keep giving him paper towels. earlier he got drops of sauce on his arm.

anything missa doesn’t eat q says “i’m eating them later because i already bought it”. missa grabbed a bunch of loose tortillas and went “what are these for?” looks at his deconstructed burrito mess “oh! for this!” and picks it all up. to which q goes “bro no. nobody fucking does this.”

missa has once again made a mess on the fucking towel. he claims it can be cleaned. it can’t.

he’s thoroughly reviewing these tacos. these burritos are obscenely large. he doesn’t want to eat it on camera- for obvious reasons. they’re eating them sideways because- ya know.

“never back down. never give up.”

“we’ve eaten the same shit in multiple ways. and they sell it to you like it’s all different. DO YOU WANT YOUR TACO OPEN BECAUSE THATS WHAT THAT IS.” wonderful missa

this music is so loud i can barely hear them. thank you missa, he lowered the music because he cares about us <3

ah missa has been given a caprisun.

q just wants to give him desserts- missa is playing “capricup” where he’s throwing the caprisun in a wine cup. this man is 30. “if the government sees this they’re going to deport us” QUACKITY-

“WHY IS EVERYTHING DOUGH?! QUACKITY EVERYTHING YOU HAVE GIVEN ME IS JUST THE SAME THING IN DIFFERENT FORMS?! THIS IS JUST A FRIED BURRITO” they bite into the weird fried sugar dough balls “it’s got nothing. it’s just dough.”

the churros are apparently so hard that you can hear it. q got sugar in his eyes.

HE GOT THE FUCKING JUICE ALL OVER THE TOWEL AND STARTED DRINKING WITHOUT A STRAW SIDEWAYS- AND THEN PUT A STRAW AND NOW Q IS SAYING THAT HES GOING TO KILL MISSA AFTER STREAM

TLDR: missa sinfonia is a fucking menace bastard and i think he deserves to be treated like it.

i should note that most quotes are semi paraphrased as i was both liveblogging and translating from my second language to my first language so that’s why some things aren’t one to one translated. except for the fried dough section. that part is actually mostly one to one.

#qsmp #<- bc i imagine you lot might like this #missa #missasinfonia #quackity #liveblogging

the kitkat bit reminds me of the time a friend discovered that I eat sandwiches by "deconstructing" them and she lost her mind about it

(by "deconstructing", as my dad likes to call it, I mean I'll eat the top piece of bread, and then depending on what's in the middle I'll either eat that separately with my hands or will fold the bottom piece of bread in half and eat the rest of the sandwich like a taco)

you should know that you sent these asks only 18 minutes apart from each other. bravo!

it feels like a disservice, even though I know it isn't.

I've been deconstructing pieces of media I enjoy (specifically, Japanese shonen) to dissect how they're formatted and set up for the stories they tell. And.. by the numbers, not a lot happens, but entertainment-wise, they're still enjoyable stories. Just, not very dense.

So when boiled down even two hundred episodes, just 200 small stories, just seem so basic and uncomplicated. The A to Z of each edition spelled out.

Summarizing and synopsisisingizing this way it feels like I'm selling each installment of the overarching story short, especially when it comes to "tournament arcs", where suddenly 1-10 episodes per fight can be summarized as, "Protagonist Fights Chuck Hugebeef over a rivalry for a taco joint."

One Punch Man is different in that it definitely has the fights but the fights are very much like the dressing and spice to the meat that is the character and environment and story. It's just built different. The atmosphere and plot is such that the more eleborate fights are almost like dipping sauce for the meat that is the character driven interactions. It's possible to summarize whole episodes with. "Okay so I'm not going to write out the choreography but I'll summarize it by who the protagonist fights and the outcome."

Writing fight choreography was always easy for me. I.. have tried, trusted and verified my powers of being able to write a fight scene well. I'd even call my skills in the avenue superb, but I will not elaborate on exactly why I believe this. No one would believe me if I explained it. So, suffice to say, I view fight choreography as its own beast separate from writing plot and characters and into its own special category, where the two only sort of sometimes blend when there's B-story support to worry about.

Even still, it makes me a little uncomfortable to think entire sagas of a western or eastern franchise started as a single, what could even have been a short story, that turned into an entire season of a cartoon. Just the idea that you could bang something like that out, even something with an intricate world built for it that clearly took more thinking and deciding like a seasoned person at a gutenberg press to get everything just right.

Entire episodes of Naruto could be chopped down into single chapters of a novel. Some as few as ten paragraphs, if you aren't trying to embellish with handholding the reader's imagination to get things accurate and precise.

The mind swims with possibilities on what to do with this information, but I'm finding it difficult not to reject it on intuition. It can't be this easy to create.

tagged by the excellent @counterwiddershins! thank you!!

favorite color: It's Green!:D

song stuck in my head: ...well it's "The Gambler" now, thank you very much XD Before then it was the reprise of "Kaput" from the Schmigadoon / Schmicago finale.

last song I listened to: Lullaby of Birdland by Eartha Kitt over on Radiooooo!

three favorite foods: but....I love them all...uh... Cornbread and beans with jalapenos my dear spouse's pecan pie tacos al pastor!!

Last thing I googled: ..ok this is VERY basic, it's just "pumpernickel bread" BUT I gotta share this here because it led me to find a BLACK FOREST PUMPERNICKEL DESSERT?? With cherries and whipped cream and such?? I'm so intrigued but also concerned, is anyone eating this? I need Reports Back!

Dream trip: WHERE'S MY PORTAL FANTASY, no darn deconstruction, I want to go to a land of magical wonder and complete some random quest with, importantly, no one dying, although acquiring a Cool Aesthetic Scar would be acceptable. There should be dragons and they should be chatty.

...if I'm stuck in this reality, I just wanna go to the coast and eat seafood and swim in the Gulf until I turn into some kind of extremely questionable mercreature. The cats, alas, would probably hate that.

tagging people uh um @eirenical @fixaidea @wilwywaylan @everyonewasabird @badassindistress, if you want to! if you don't then just consider this me waving hello <3
