#in the end all it can be is a good chicken

It's a date...no it's not... brainrot

Asking you out on a date. Meet him at the theme park tomorrow, he says. He doesn't say anymore other than that.

You're giddy. You're surprised. Pleasantly so. You prepare for it so much you can't even sleep that night.

When you meet him at the theme park the next day, imagine your disappointment when you realize he had invited the whole gang. Your whole friend group. You're disappointed, but most of all feeling stupid that you thought it was a date. But what else can you do but go on with the rest of the day.

Weeks later you received quite a similar call from him. Meet him at the beach, he says. This time, you pretend that you're busy. "Oh! That sounds good, but I've already got a thing with my family. Have fun with the others though!"

The two of you end the call and he looks at his phone confused... "...The others...?" He doesn't quite understand where he went wrong. Turns out he also had his eyes set on you, but was too chicken to ask you out on a REAL date the first time around. He doesn't seem to notice the mess he made, until he realizes you haven't been hanging around him lately (it kinda seems like you're avoiding him too) It's his best friend (who was also invited to the theme park on that day) who explains to him what you might have been thinking/feeling.

When he finally understands his mistake, he decides to ask you out old school style: Face to face. So he shows up in front of you one day, whether it be at your front door, in your classroom, at school and tells you. "Hey...Listen, I'm... not sure how to say this to be honest, but I'll just go right ahead and try it... Would you...go out on a date with me? This time... just us two, I promise,"

[howtotwirlaknife22]

hii 👋 i saw that you do some hcs for ghosts and would be possible to ask a nsfw and fluffy for merrick? Dating him or how we meet

cuz this bald angry man deserve some love 😭

if not that's fine, i love yr hcs <3

Yes yes ofc!

In this house we are NOT going off of @blacktacmopsi (ily ily)’s headcannon abt Merrick being a widower bc this man deserves LOVE

Merrick dating headcannons (NSFW) :

So first of all, ya’ll met each other at a bar on a military base when he was just a young sergeant.

He had noticed you across the bar and sent a drink over to you, and you had noticed him and smiled sweetly, moving over to the stool beside him and you two really ended up hitting it off that night.

He got your number that night and from then on the two of you started seeing one another more frequently.

Merrick is a stoic man and is a hard nut to crack, but for you, his cold exterior melts.

He rides a classic Harley motorcycle, and he loves it when you go on rides with him in the evenings.

When he was a young buck, his ideal date would be something outdoorsy, like camping or going on a roadtrip through a scenic state.

Would set up some blankets and pillows in the bed of his truck as you lay down, looking up at the stars while you talk about all the possibilities of the future.

He also likes going to local dive bar shows to drink and play pool.

Him being the master at pool that he is, he teaches you how to play by standing behind you, grinding up against your ass as he corrects your form with one hand on your hip and the other wrapped around your hand on the stick, whispering dirty words into your ear, quiet enough for only you to hear.

On his wiki page he is described as “stocky”, which is exactly what he is.

He’s big and muscular, but he starts to get a bit of a dad bod as the two of you grow older. He gets a little insecure with it when it first starts happening, but you’re quick to comfort him and tell him how much you love it, he’s like a big squishy teddy bear whenever the two of you cuddle up together.

He’ll let you help shave his beard, which is a privilege only you have ever gotten. He loves how gentle you are with it, as you sit on the counter with him in between your legs as you carefully run the blade down his jaw, smiling at him once you finish up, brushing your hand on the smooth skin.

This man can grill and barbecue. HELLA good. He knows how to make steak, brisket, pulled pork, roasted chicken, burgers, hot dogs, and kebabs. Give this man any meat and he’s firing up the smoker.

Speaking of smoking, when he was younger he used to smoke, but he noticed the way you would cough and struggle whenever he lit one up around you, and he hated doing that to you so he decided you quit. It was hard, but he would never stop appreciating how you stuck through him the entire way through.

He Hated having to leave you for his deployments, but he tried to call you and write to you as much as he could and would never spend time with his team on leave before he spent time with you.

He always loved it when he received Polaroids of you in your letters. He keeps one of them in his wallet to this day, and one of you in a suggestive pose with Lacey lingerie on stuffed into his dresser drawer.

Merrick was rocking a hell of a stool bar mustache before he started growing the full beard out.

This man is hairy as hell, we’re taking chest, face, legs, ass, and especially his junk. He’s bald by choice due to work, but he often shaves it off when he’s on leave as well because he just liked the way it felt. He liked the cool breeze through his scalp.

He doesn’t mind hair on his partner, in fact he adores a bush because it reminds him of the women from the magazines he had in his 20’s.

He’s girthy. We’re talking hella girth. He’s about 6 1/3 inches in length and 2 inches wide.

The first time ya’ll ever got intimate, he made sure to work his magic on you with his fingers and tongue first so he could properly prepare you to take him.

It was hard at first, it stung, and you were sure he was splitting you in half. But eventually, the pain seemed to subside and he was gentle with you, always paying attention to your face and making sure to slow down and give you a break whenever you felt like it was too much.

As your relationship progressed however, he wasn’t as afraid to get a little rough here and there. He loves to leave hickies all over your body right before he leaves for a deployment, hoping they’ll still be there two weeks later.

He’s a big fan of having you ride him, he loves reverse cowgirl in particular so he can watch your ass bouncing up and down on his cock.

He’s an ass man, and he will absolutely grip and spread your ass while you straddle his lap as you make out.

He loves when you wear leathery lingerie. He’s also a big fan of darker, gothier makeup. Ultimately, he loves a dominatrix looking gal.

He will spoil the shit out of you, all you’d have to do is bat your eyes at him and he’d hand over his wallet willingly.

He also loves massages, especially once he starts to get older. His back in particular has him groaning into the pillow as you straddle his hips rubbing the kinks out of his shoulders and back.

He ends up popping the question to you when the two of you are in your thirties, and while the wedding was a small event with a few of his close teammates and your friends, your honeymoon was spent fucking each others brains out in the Swiss alps and cuddling by the fire.

He’ll take it to his grave, but he allowed you to take a picture of him laying naked on a bear rug by the fireplace with a pillow covering his junk. You still have the photo locked away in a box of your most prized belongings.

Anyways, hope ya’ll enjoyed! Inbox is open!

[criptochecca]

I am so sorry for all of those anon, if it can make it better, could you talk about some of your favourite movies

Complicated, let's talk about my favourite italian movies

Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto (1970) by Elio Petri

My man Gian Maria Volonté and his fake sicilian accent are a cop who becomes the chief of the uhm... well, sort of the "anti terrorist" unit. He's enamored with power, he loves control, he thinks, and knows, he's above the law, or that he can do anything because, as a man of the law, he's always working within it. This is why he kills his lover and fills her apartment with evidence. With time, the knowledge of being untouchable will drive him mad to the point that he will sign his own confession and then, in a drealike scenario, imagines his colleagues forcing him to sign a "non guilt" letter.

Fucked up and unsettling Ennio Morricone score.

La classe operaia va in paradiso (1971) by Elio Petri

I don't like this one as much as Indagine su un cittadino, but this is absolutely my favourite Gian Maria Volonté interpretation. His monologue was also used by the trap group P38 for the song Stelle Rosse.

Basically the marxist concept of alienation put into movie format.

Nuovo Cinema Paradiso (1988) by Giuseppe Tornatore

I have a particular relationship with this movie. In middle school I attended a musical school (I played piano) and for the third year concert we were playing some of Ennio Morricone's music, one of which was the theme of Nuovo Cinema Paradiso. I was pretty good at the piano at the time and ended up playing a large chunk of the theme as a soloist. So, even if I didn't watch the movie at the time, I was always sort of fond of it. I ended up seeing it in full just a few years back. A love letter to cinema. The middle part with the love story was a little too dragged out, but the ending man... the ending.

Mine Vaganti (2010) by Ferzan Ozpetek

My comfort go to movie. Riccardo Scamarcio (hiii) plays a gay man who comes from Lecce (Puglia) but lives in Rome. He wants to be a writer but his father wants him to become the heir to his pasta factory. He decides to come out to the family because he knows they would disown him and, therefore, relieve him of his responsibilities to the factory, but at the dinner where he wanted to make the big announcement, his older brother comes out as gay before him, getting disown in his place and causing his father to get a heart attack.

Chiedimi se sono felice (2000) by Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo

The comic trio absolute best movie and I don't care if you think Tre Uomini e Una Gamba is funnier. This is not supposed to be funnier. The scene where they fight because Giacomo kissed Giovanni's gf is a pearl of cinema and breaks my heart every time ("Il bacio è solo un'apostrofo rosa tra le parole Franco e Forte" "Che fai, prendi in giro?")

Mimì metallurgico ferito nell'onore (1972) by Lina Wertmuller

Fascists, communists, men are trash.

Carmelo Mimì Mardocheo is a sicilian worker who, because of his vote to the communist party, has to leave for Turin after loosing his job. He's married but he meets a woman there and the two start a relationship and end up having a child. Despite being a syndacalist and a communist, Mimì is a spineless coward, and when it comes to incriminate the owners who have ties with the mafia he always chickens out. Out of a serie of events (this movie is a comedy) he has to go back to Sicily with his mistress and hide her from his wife, who at the same time becomes pregnant because of a relationship she had with a cop.

Sulla mia pelle (2018) by Alessio Cremonini

Stefano Cucchi died on the 22 of October of 2009 after being brutally beaten by the carabinieri while in custody for drug related crime. The two men who beat him got convicted with manslaughter only in 2022.

The movie talks about the last week of Stefano Cucchi's life. It's heavy as hell and the only movie who made me feel this shit is Diaz - Don't Clean Up This Blood (2012).

Caro diario (1993) by Nanni Moretti

I think it's about some guy with a scooter? Idk.

Stranizza D'Amuri (2023) by Giuseppe Fiorello

I mean I don't know if I'd call it one of my faves but it was such a pleasant surprise in a ever so sterile cinematographic italian landscape that I still want to talk about it.

Honestly I have to be biased because this hit all my spots - italian homosexuals, italian province life, hot italian summer of the world/european championships in the 70s and 80s.

It's based on a real event in Sicily in the 80s, in which a gay couple got shot by the niece of one of them.

Can't describe it in any other way than delicate. The direction and photography are definitely my favourite part which is surprising since it's the first movie as a director for Fiorello.

Well, it's like I knew. Not hard to guess, really.

Gather round, Citytv (for this exercise we are pretending that they want to learn) and Hudson and Rex folks, because I'm about to tell you what you need to show in a season premiere. Now, you may think that because I've never done tv in my life I'm not qualified to give that advice, but as an audience I've consumed tons of it, and sadly for you, 90% of it were crime shows. And since I don't see anyone from either Citytv or Hudson and Rex knowing what you need to show in a premiere either (like, in any season), let me be the one to tell you.

DO:

Have action packed episodes. Chases, runs, car chases, fires, shootings, terrorists (in St. John's? Well, people are crazy), general mayhem and chaos. It's a crime show. I mean, I don't expect them to happen all at the same time, but from what I saw in the season promo, some of these do happen in later episodes. Were there any shots from the premiere included in the season promo, by the way? Because that was actually action packed.

Have your characters display emotions! Which also makes your actors show that they are indeed actors. These are the kind of episodes that make me reconsider my entire stance on AI.

Set up a season arc. Plant tidbits that will lead somewhere eventually. Revolutionary idea, I know.

Show character bonds. It doesn't have to be Charah. Charlie's "Here comes the team" or something like that is followed by an episode of how much not like a team they operate. Singular and isolated. Absurd. And while in the final scene, they seem to be all boarding the ship, in the end we only see Charlie and Rex in the shot?

DO NOT:

Make the episode a "Visit Newfoundland" spot. No one cares to see that in the season premiere. It's a nice place and if I could throw that much money on a single trip, I'd be there in an instant, but put it somewhere other than the premiere that we've been expecting for more than five months.

Make your episode vastly different from what the rest of the season is going to be like. Unless this is meant to warn me that we're going to spend the rest of the season on a boat searching for missing people. That's a general issue with this show's premiere episodes, and I'm struggling to understand why they do it. It sets up false expectations for the entire season.

Neglect your characters in the first fucking episode of the season. I think the whales had more sreentime than Sarah. Also, I'd love to know what happened to Karma, although understandably, that wasn't an episode where you had to involved a coroner.

Now, I'm unsure of this, so I apologize if I'm wrong, but I think they even used shots of Charlie from S3 for the shots where he comes out of the water. If you have him wearing the diver suit, have him dive. If he doesn't want to dive or the water is like five degrees, don't replace that with old shots. Just do something different.

Anyway, I feel that while a lot of things they did fell flat, that doesn't really discourage me from watching the rest of the season because they've always pulled this kind of shit in the premiere. In a show like Hudson and Rex, you just have to weigh the good and bad episodes in the end and only from that you can conclude whether it was a good or bad season. They are all single episodes after all, it's not like you can judge whether an arc is good or bad because there's usually no arc.

Biggest win: I spent a bit of time whining about it, so I'll just say that Charlie's hair is fine. For now lol. I still don't get what the hell they did to him in the promo photos. Citytv, I've got a few upscalers and editing software to recommend to you.

#hudson and rex #to be fair as soon as I saw whales in the summary I knew this was going to be a mediocre premiere #and also because their premieres are usually like that #but I just kept out hope #eh what can you do (aside from wait for the next episode which seems better lol) #and since this isn't a very positive post I'll just remind people #that the original rex was one of my favorite shows #so it's not like I'm whining because charlie and rex were the focal point of the episode (I know this is the show) #but it's like getting a good chicken and throwing it in the oven on its own #no spice no other ingredients at all #in the end all it can be is a good chicken #and I'm sorry to say this but this chicken was a bit charred on the edges too #sorry for that metaphor lol I'm just hungry

i have a weird relationship with weight because i hated eating more than anything the moment i was ready for solids ( i hate chewing with my entire life always have & will ) which made me underweight for most of my life ( to this day ) & during late primary-middle school this made me actively suicidal because i felt like something was wrong with my sex because i just was not developing whatsoever prompting me to have a years long phase of trying to gain weight in any way i could ( #EPICFAIL by the way ) & i was already insecure but i felt seriously so unforgivably ugly after bullying not just at school but by adults of my entourage. but then i did in my late 15s which prompted the pendulum to swing in the other direction & suddenly i FREAKED OUT & thought well being skinny is pretty much all i have & know myself to be & clearly it is not going to last forever so i Better preserve it i was delusional about how skinny i thought i was actually i look stumpy & weird i have to prove myself. But now i am normal again kind of

#also i used to get beaten to finish my food nearly daily & it would take me forever to do that like literally hours with no exaggeration #just made me hate eating even more. now my technique is eating as fast as possible before i even realize how overwhelming #the sensory experience is & i can just be done with it VS the pain&dread of eating slowly -> disgust of Everything+hyperawareness #eating tightens my muscles like i hate it so fucking much catching the food putting it in my mouth CHEWING swallowing #what a damn chore #so i always liked cheese it was my “safe food” pretty much the only thing i liked #i even hated the foods autists usually like like fries & fried chicken meatballs ETC. HATED. #i was/am more of a soup & turning all my food into varieties of Slop kind of girl nothing hard for me please... #i experienced middle school during the like ♯Thick era of the world which was honestly a good thing like for The Populace #but i felt like killing myself because i felt like an unforgivable fugly genetic failure & people did not hesitate to let me know #anyway either way i would be unhappy caus if i did gain weight during puberty i would have a meltdown about all the Changes #so i feel content for the time being about only losing the fat in my face & getting age appropriate wrinkles really #trying to enjoy the privilege of thinness while i have it because it will not last forever 0_0 but that should not matter anyway... #the privilege of thinness: being way uglier than others & constantly looking like a gibbon dying of disease + no energy or strength ever #JK people are much MUCH nicer to thin people & they do things for me on account of looking physically incapable so um yay i guess #light at the end of the tunnel that is very significant in the grand scheme of things socially. ♯CountingMyBlessings #also i was raised on ♯HAES tumblr from 2014-2018 i truly believed in that & was so damn envious i was not curvy & beautiful LOL #so i never hated overweight people really i think for the most part the SJW tumblr values stuck with me #but now i know it depends on your base frame & genetics & there is no guarantee to what you choose to do (naturally) acceptance is peace #sorry for the gigantic Arse post i just needed to get that off my chest for a long time. not on here specifically just in general #oh & i am a ♯Grignoteuse but grignoter (grazing) is different from eating in my mind&body #& my insecurity was not a result of wanting to fit in really but kind of in the sense that i wanted people to stop berating me for my looks #like body wise only & also not understanding why every other girl looked like a girl blossoming into a woman #& i looked like i was transitioning to Malnourished (unsexed) Ape made worse by bein GNC.& like the need for control later on & erthang ETC

[watermelinoe]

and see how dialogue isn't possible when you block someone who doesn't even disagree with your movement, just with certain premises behind it? see how it doesn't allow for practicing harm reduction or nuance? when i'm struggling to get myself to eat anything at all, which can last for days or weeks at a time, what i do eat needs to count. sorry, i'm eating the cheese stick because it's the only thing that sounds palatable and it gives me seven grams of protein. sorry there's no room for women with eating disorders and deficiencies because "eat less animal products" isn't good enough when your ideology values non-human animals more than women's health. but of course the burden falls on women to make ourselves tired and weak while the male-led industry overproduces and overconsumes. at least you stayed true to your logically inconsistent, female-socialized emotion-based beliefs and allowed for zero compromise! there's no way your airtight ethical philosophy has blatant logical flaws at the slightest nudge of critical thought, the people who point out fallacies are just heartless!

#the fact that i considered breaking mutuals w this person so many times #but i'm the one who gets blocked in the end lmao #sorry you have no rebuttal to my argument lol #notice how nearly every woman who agreed with me also agreed that the current animal ag industry is the problem #and that we all would like to consume less animal products where we can #but when your ideology is so militant that that isn't good enough because ''meat is murder'' (but only when humans kill animals) #(but remember we've elevated non-human animals to human status. so every time a predator kills a prey animal: murder.) #(wait that's different. it's because ummm humans interfering with animals isn't natural. so are we on the same level as non-human animals?) #(yes but no! pre-industrialization agriculture wasn't part of nature because uh. humans did it.) #(and humans aren't part of nature because of animal agriculture. flawless non-circular logic.) #(so in conclusion all animals have equal personhood except when they obviously don't have the same morality because they're animals) #(this is why there can be no harm reduction because all animal products are human rights violations on par with rape and femicide) #(no this isn't degrading to women bc we told you chickens have the same personhood as women!! and don't question that either!!) #anyway i limit animal consumption to the best of my ability but meat is not murder. if that's not good enough then bite me #sorry to the normal vegans out there who don't treat it like a human rights movement. you get too much shit and i'm adding to it rip

[rexcaliburechoes]

playing through bad endings in visual novels for the achievements kinda suck bc like. i know the characters are not real people. it doesn't matter if they dislike me in the slightest because they Aren't Real.

but also. i don't wanna upset the character because :( ow my feelings they don't like me

#rex rambles #i wanted to play thru some bad endings today bc i'm on a cheevie hunt grind #but i opened the game looked at the angry sprites and promptly chickened out #literally felt my sins crawling on my back it was Not a good feeling and i can't work myself up to even look at the upset sprites #:( i don't want the characters to be mad at me (it's a bit pathetic i know LMAO) #one of the other vns i've played have a sweet ending and a spicy ending. no bad endings #just endings based on the tone of your mc #which is nice because i don't feel like i've made a mistake and i can play through the game w/o crying at the end #as much as i love like. angst and all that. i can't do bad endings LMAO

#personal #obviously lots of context but super funny #especially bc when i was throwing myself around i got a HUGE fucking bruise on my thigh #anyway my weekend was not good. personally #on thursday i went to like 4 stores and was looking for coffee (dad didn’t remember the name) and rotisserie chicken for my dad and his #dog. which i know bad but you have not tried having and elderly blind somewhat lost his mind or mostly it man as ur father for most ur life #you learn to just go with it #and during all of this i’m getting nothing but assholes on the road #like in the morning when i got breakfast for dad and i some lady cussed me out when i wouldn’t reverse into a drive through #and then after the first store some guy nearly hit me backing out of a parking space bc he was going super fast and turned around JUST to #flip me off. and i’m already annoyed bc i didn’t even want to run this errand for a fucking dog but it’s my dad so i keep going #so hit 3 more stores ask my dad if he remembers the coffee name (he requested i call him at the store) he did but it’s too expensive #(i offer to get it firmly but he’s freaking out) i leave and then my mom calls me and gets annoyed at me for not buying it anyway #go to the next store. the shit my dad just told me is to expensive is like 6 bucks more here and it’s too busy to go back to the other some #and i’m so upset but it’s only sale so small win. didn’t find the chicken anywhere #dad and mom start fighting when i get back and it’s so fucking frustrating #anyway that took over 2 hours and was very upsetting then the next day my dad is like #can you go back again 🥺 and i do but not before that huge break down #which during i was like did not know it upset me that much. but anyway ends with me getting locked in my room bc my dad #is coming over to give me batteries not even checking on or hearing the yelling and im naked and im so fucking upset that i don’t even have #a door anymore and it’s middle/high school again and i’m makes and crying and i don’t have a door and everyone’s allowed to come in whenever #naked and crying #bc it doesn’t matter wrre family and im so angry and i lock myself in start slamming on the door and my dads like what can i do and he can’t #see then i just rip the broken door knob from the door in sheer anger and then i spend the next two hours sobbing while looking for chicken #for my dad. did not find it btw. like some time looking for chicken some getting gas then food #so funny i texted my mom during it and she thought i was going to our usual store and texted me things she needed #and i only realized while inside the store i was actually in and started silently sobbing and hyperventilating bc my mom wanted me to go to #another store and she just promised this wouldn’t happen again and there’s no fucking chicken here #anyway i’ve been camping my room bc i don’t want to talk to my dad im not mad at him or anything but i just can’t do the last couple days #and my mom was really nice yesterday about it after hearing me sob and didn’t even give me shit when i said im staying hometoday l8r maybe?

Me, the three weeks I was home alone: Wow I'm eating on a much better schedule with a greater variety of meals and feel physically and mentally great, I haven't binged in forever and I'm able to hold back when I feel the urge to - why don't I do this when my family is around?

My family: *buys too much red meat, which I don't like much* *doesn't buy many vegetables and when they do they run out super quickly* *buys too much frozen and sugary food, which I don't like* *either nobody washes the dishes or they do but they keep stacking clean dishes on the countertop instead of putting them away, making the kitchen look super cluttered and hard to navigate* *they're downstairs all the time working and talking and yelling and doing a lot of noise and moving all over*

Me, starting to skip meals again due to the stress and lack of foods I enjoy: Ah,

#rambling #ed cw #I hadn't realised how much my eating issues were related to stress til this #Like of course I'm gonna binge to hell if i feel like the kitchen is an Overstimulation Battle Zone - #by the time Im too hungry to not do something about it I feel rushed to eat literally anything at all and end up eating whatever i can grab #Which is all stuff i don't like!! Or at least stuff I don't like eating all the time!! #Like cookies/crackers/bread/any open bag of snacks; frozen food if i have enough patience for it #I wish i could drive so i could go buy veggies on my own and bring the good stuff but alas: narcolepsy and driving aren't friends #It also just demotivates me to eat or cook in general cos I'm like ''well why am i gonna do that when there's nothing good ever'' #Hnnnnnng i really wish i could move outtttt #Also yea not a big fan of red meat #Honestly i don't usually feel the drive to eat meats unless they're seafood and sometimes chicken #Red meat is just like. So boring to me. So greasy and bulky and laborious and bland #I love food... I love eating... But family life makes that so hard for me... #Rn I'm eating frosted flakes which i didn't wanna do cos i don't like eating so much sugar it just makws my body feel bad

My least favourite time of the year is when I have to buy a bunch of different(but not too different) boxes of wet cat food until I find the one Socks actually wants to eat for a while before inevitably going off it the second I buy a bulk pack of it and back to the sheba he's been eating for half of his life xD

#He is barely touching his evening meal of sheba fish in jelly wet food over the last week #I'd just tried switching it over to the fish in gravy sheba but he outright refused that as well. #I ended up giving the woman down the street that feeds the local strays 3 boxes of that one cuz it would only go to waste here #I want to get him the really good stuff for him now I can afford it but he just never eats it #Or he will for a few days but then refuse because they don't offer enough variety in their flavours xD #I have to buy him non senior dry biscuits for his afternoon meal sometimes because all the senior ones are chicken flavoured #so he gets bored of that really quick as well #He's still happy to eat meat in jelly sheba for his breakfast but won't touch it for his evening meal xD #Socks #cat #my pet

Hey also you know that post about getting better at cooking and handling meat and stuff?

Meat is really expensive and it goes bad pretty quickly.

If you're a new cook and you're trying to figure out how to pan-fry something so that it tastes good, might I recommend tofu?

I'm not saying "treat tofu like meat and try to replace all your favorite meat dishes with tofu" (though, I mean, if that sounds good - go for it), I'm saying "it's a lot easier to practice heating a pan and flipping objects in a pan for a meal and seasoning objects in a pan when the objects in the pan cost two dollars instead of ten dollars."

Tofu lasts a lot longer in the fridge than meat does, is easy to season, and you can easily learn how to pan-fry it into a tasty snack (or main course) and only requires a little extra prep. You can also pretend that the tofu is raw meat (the texture isn't dissimilar) and start practicing for things like how to take it out of a package or cut it on a sanitizable surface, etc.

My favorite way to cook tofu is to press extra firm tofu for at least half an hour (you can get a cheap tofu press for around ten dollars, or you can put it between two plates with some books on the top plate - this is that extra prep i was talking about - tofu cooks best if you press the excess water out), then slice a 14oz cake of it into 8 slices. I lay these flat and sprinkle cayenne pepper, mushroom powder, and smoked paprika on all of the slices, then I rub it in and flip the slices and season the other side the same way. I cook it in a frying pan with a thin layer of avocado or olive oil over medium heat, flipping every two minutes until the flat sides start to crisp up a little. Just before the last flip I add about a tablespoon of tamari sauce (you can use soy sauce, I've just got allergies) to the pan, sprinkling it over the tofu so that both sides get a little bit of sauce on them.

I have that with steamed vegetables and with jasmine rice (with two teaspoons of rice wine vinegar per 3 cups of dry rice and 4.5 cups of water). I also make a honey-siracha-mayo sauce that I dip the tofu in.

It's really good. And now I end up eating leftover rice and sauce with fried eggs for lunch at least two days a week and that's also really good.

This has become one of my go-to low spoon foods because it's so easy to make, it's filling, it tastes good to me, and it has become extremely easy for me to keep a stock of tofu in the fridge compared to the effort of keeping un-expired meat in the fridge.

I find that a 14oz pack of tofu feeds two adults for one meal, though I can stretch that to three meals if I'm the only one eating.

It makes a very cheap, filling, easy dinner that I can keep the ingredients around for without too much concern for food waste or anything going bad (the tofu that I get lasts about a month in the fridge and these days I just buy three packs every time I'm at aldi and cycle in new stock - it costs $1.50 per pack)

If you're interested in becoming a better cook, rather than worrying about actual high-risk products like raw chicken that can be seriously dangerous and also cost a fair amount, tofu has a pretty low barrier to entry while also being a good way to learn on a new ingredient that has some similar properties to raw meat.

dating simon riley wasn’t always easy. “i’m a bloody nutcase, eh?” he’d joke when he’d wake up in a cold sweat, taking deep breaths as his calloused thumb rasps against the soft cotton bedsheets, grounding him back to reality. “puts all my efforts to shame when i wake up like this. fuck’s sake.”

therapy is mandatory, especially given his role as lieutenant. the traumas of childhood, the torture. he thinks he’s good at dealing with his problems, thinks therapy is a waste of time. “what, it’s just a bloke sat there starin’ at me? hell, get me a piece of paper with some made up degree on it and even i could be a therapist.” he grumbles after you point out that, in fact, he’s not as good as coping with his trauma as he thinks he is.

“you need to actually give this a go, si. it’s..” you pause, biting the inside of your lip as you make breakfast. his hair is disheveled, wry strands of grey sticking up against the grain. his dark circles only exemplify just how tired he is, especially when he has his night terrors. you shake your head, sighing as you crack another egg into the frying pan. “how can i expect you to stay safe out there when you’re barely able to look after yourself when you’re home?” you sigh out as he grunts, taking a seat at the small dining table, his eyes skimming through the morning paper.

god, he’s such a stubborn bastard. it takes months to get him to at least consider finding a new therapist, to get him to actually care about his mental health. christ, if he can’t do it for himself, can’t he at least try for your sake?

and then, it’s like he has a lightbulb moment. you come home after a long day at work, only to find him sat at the dining table, writing scruffy notes in a ring bound notebook. “mission notes?” you ask curiously, keeping your eye on him as you make yourself a cup of tea. he grunts, shaking his head as he continues to write.

“it’s a diary. supposed to help with your mental health or summet.” he replies, settling his pen down to meet your gaze. you must have had a look of confusion on your face, and it makes the corners of his lips twitch up into a half-smile. “yeah, i know. a bloke like me with a diary, like i’m a bloody teenage girl.” he quips, now grinning as his fingers toy with the corners of the notebook. “writin’ about all the boys i fancy on the field.” he shoots a wink, before continuing to write some more in his notebook.

it’s actually surprising, a smile on your lips as you watch him in his own little world, actually making an effort in his mental health recovery. you come over, settling a warm cup of tea by him before pressing a gentle kiss to the crown of his head, still smiling as you make your way upstairs to give him some privacy. he comes upstairs after half an hour, chucking the diary into his bedside table drawer before sprawling out onto the bed obnoxiously with a deafening groan. you whine and complain when he purposely stretches on you, gently crushing you with his bolder-esque shoulders with a massive grin on his face.

there were still bad days, though. days where he’d hide himself in the garage to work on some of his projects. but you’re both trying, he feels his heart break when you gently knock on the door, holding a plate of snacks and a cup of tea for him, and fuck, it makes his bad day slightly better.

that evening, he curls up besides you silently on the couch, his journal and pen in hand as he clears his throat. you curiously peer down as he begins to flick through the pages of chicken scratch, gently tapping the page as he looks up at you. he clears his throat, and begins to read out the sweetest paragraph, one that makes your eyes well up with tears.

“no idea where i would be without you, love. you make the darkest days of my life brighter than ever. you make life worth it.” he ends his speech , the timbre of his voice cracking with emotion as he looks at you. and right there, you know that through all the trials and tribulations you two will go through, you’re the love of simon riley’s life and he would never let you forget that.
