The simultaneous marriage and bastardization of multiple cultural food at once to create it's own thing:

Pepperoni White-Trash Quesadilla.

Stir fried ramen noodles, cheese, tortilla and, in this variant, obviously pepperoni.

#food #stupid food #not a prank #just what I ate today #it's a comfort food remnant from poorer days #my mom taught me how to make these #there's a bit of adaptation needed from the og 'college student' level food recipe for me #cause everything has to be gluten free

☕️ about jamie drysdale and that baseball player. let's go back to that because i did not leave!!!!

i told myself to take a break from linkedin this weekend bc it was turning me into the joker but now it's sunday night and i have nothing to spiral over so we're going to spiral over jamie drysdale and bryce harper instead

there is lore about these two that m @pindergarten and I have discussed at length but much of it is buried under five million messages about a's prospects and trea turner's hot milf winter, but i will do my best to summarize. also i will try to make it easily understandable if you are not lost in the sauce (baseball):

first of all what you need to know is bryce harper is like deeply mormon guy who needs to Get Right with himself, hotheaded, prone to incredibly stupid outbursts and altercations on the field, clearly has some internal issues that need to get addressed, loves the boys, a huge superstar. and this makes many people understandably very angry. baseballblr has correctly assigned him "closeted gay who needs to get his head right with some gay sex" and m pindergarten and i assigned him "closeted gay who needs a deeply cringe hook-up with a way younger hockey player" bc bro was out here telling the entire world he reads hockey romance novels

obviously meets jamie d at some random south philadelphia sports complex. immediately down so cringe that trea turner (his teammate red thread of fate) blocks his number before the event even ends. jamie's like wow 😳 this tall guy is really cool and hot 😳 no jamie, he is neither

before the cam york couch reveal i truly believed joelbee would be hosting jamie in his basement and maybe in this sexy imagine he does bc i think it's really funny if joelbee hosts a rager and bryce rolls up, millions of dollars worth of baseball money, and is like, oh gosh, i am really about to walk into a house party unironically blasting that one david guetta/bebe rexha song at a volume that causes hearing damage. and obviously DOES and jamie is thrilled to see him and they have a really gross awesome hook-up in joelbee's baseball and then bryce gets scared and has to call trea for a ride home. jamie is like wow 🤩 he's so hot 🤩

in my head jamie is down normal bad, not catastrophic, but normal puppydog omg a hot older guy is paying attention to me and his dick is huge type of way. but like in a clueless way where he is just Living His Best Life in philly now that he's been freed from california cost of living. cam york can rap all of "super bass" if he gets drunk enough. philly is soooo sick and his tall hot baseball hook-up is sooo cool. trevor who.

and like joelbee is the only who knows about them hooking up and he's sooo chill except he keeps playing "stacy's mom" when bryce comes over but it's whatever. and BRYCE can read that, and it kills him so bad, but like...jamie comes over to his house in uhhh center city and just looks shell-shocked by how clean it is and how nice bryce's stuff is and that freaks bryce out bc it's not like jamie is poor by any standard, but the difference between $2.3m per year as a 21yo and $26m per year on $330m contract + endorsements as a 31yo is kind of a lot and that reminds bryce of how much older he is and that scares HIM very badly. so they end up at joelbee's house a lot and bryce just puts up with stacy's mom

one time joelbee mixes it up with stacy's dad and bryce loses like, years of his life. has to call trea to ask him to pick him up

they go on some deeply cringe dates around philly to like instagrammable spots that bryce thinks are so cultured but jamie is just happy to be there and hanging out. weirdly uncomplicated and gorgeous relationship for jamie. deeply destablizing for bryce but in a good way

the ending remains 2 be seen!! i personally wish jamie a long and happy career in philly bc he looks soooo much happier and more confident away from disneyland. i assume him and bryce kind of fade after a while and he breaks it off with zero hard feelings on bryce's part, but not for a couple years at least bc bryce has decades of repressed homosexuality to get out of his system before he lands with. trea long term lmao. who is to be clear also having some insane background trainwreck relationships but he thinks he's better than bryce bc at least HE knew he was gay the whole time.

#unfortunately at the end of the day i think i've landed on bryce/trea endgame but that DOES NOT MEAN jamie is not important!!#he's very important!! he's the spark that lights the fire that burns down a forest of a lifetime of repressed loathing and fear!!!#let's have another toast to the girl almighty!!! let's pray we stay young stay made of lightning!!!!!#someday i'll write it forreal but until then i stand in the shadows of phillies fans holding this entire operation (baseball rpf) together #bro i made a huge to-do list of things i need to get done for reasons and then went man this SUCKS. so now i'm not doing that #my mom taught me how to make dolma tonight and it was really good but we didn't have yogurt for tziki so she made it with sour cream #and now i'm out here like what if i just ate a bowl of rice with sour cream tziki #that shit was really good #cage replies #plaintoast #bryce/jamie #<- look. new tag

Granted I have the overall geographical and cultural knowledge of a 4th grader but from what I can tell the nuclear family model really does seem to be a white colonial invention

Different cultures have different approaches but I mainly hear about either large family units where multiple generations support each other and raise their children and grandchildren together or an "it takes a village" approach where children are raised somewhat communally

And I can't really speak on it much or claim that these families were free of abuse or that children aren't often an oppressed group basically everywhere I know of but the way ownership of your children is so engrained into white society is so bizarre

Like once you notice it you can't unnotice it even the most loving well meaning parents don't know what to do about it because everyone is so isolated from their own families and their own communities so you wind up with 1-2 parents who have full legal ownership of their child and are raised in a culture where you don't have personhood until you're 18 and all attempts at self actualization before them are seen as clueless rebellion. Like our culture is so divorced from the concept that a parent is someone who is helping mentor and care for their child so they can thrive as a fellow human being and it's actually so alarming

And ik this problem isn't unique to white and colonized people but it's honestly really soothing to hear about how other cultures approach and view parenting and community as a whole and to internalize it doesn't have to be this way

#like i was reading a book by Sabaa Tahir who's Pakistani #and the perspective on parenthood portrayed in it so healing #like when Salahuddin mentions that his mom taught him not to thank his parents growing up #''Ama taught me that saying thank you to your own parents is unnecessary. Akin to thanking your lungs for breathing. The times I tried #she looked at me like I’d rejected Saturday-morning paratha.''#and like obviously the idea isn't that your kids should be ungrateful im assuming that it's their behavior and overall respect thats thanks #but as someone who was raised thanking everyone for everything especially my parents no matter what it really stood out bc even little stuff #like that can make a huge difference yk? since I can remember white adults particularly my parents taught me i was a burden #and that their taking care of me was an act of kindness rather than a responsibility and I don't think it's some big conspiracy to make kids #feel horrible but it's not really teaching gratitude it's just teaching guilt #thats just one example tho #I also am at the extreme end of white cultural isolation (neither of my parents are close to their families we've never lived near them and #they specifically isolate us from everyone so the difference is a lot more drastic for me than it probably is a lot of other people #but when i hear ppl being close to their neighbors or anyone that lives near them i go a little insane with longing tbh #like what is that like? to grow up in an environment where your world is more than just your parents approval?#where there's some kind of insulation between you and all of your parents problems bc there is no one else #this was not a ramble with any kind of conclusion tho akehrjdhr #and once again I am absolutely not saying that child abuse is uniquely white bc. el em ey oh thats not how any of this works #it's just that white cultures view on children is sickening

#anyway! who’s up crying about Yichan and Eun Gyeol?#me i am 🧍🏻‍♀️#the father-son love that was fated to happen in any timeline and even if Yichan was a literal 19 year old child got to me all right #LIKE!!! the CONNECTION #Cheong-ah was always going to fall in love with Yichan and he was always going to fall in love with her and they were always going to have #their beloved sons and that love is immutable and unerasable and would always happen even if altering the timeline meant that it would #happen vice versa #like eun gyeol is the result of yichan and cheong-ah’s connection but then!!! he goes back #and yichan and cheong-ah have a connection BECAUSE of eun gyeol #and and and #eun gyeol is like dad….. mom…… I’m going to personally make sure your lives shine because you made my life shine #and then it’s like #he does what they raised him to do so well that he essentially becomes their adoptive parent for one glorious summer #Yichan saying “it’s like you’re the dad I never had”#BUT BECAUSE YICHAN IS THE ONE WHO TAUGHT EUN GYEOL WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A DAD #and the first word eun gyeol ever says to cheong-ah (that she understands) is “mom”#and that’s the word she remembers from her own mom #they took that from her #they took away her mom they took away her connection to the world #but eun gyeol gives that back to her #BECAUSE SHE’S THE ONE WHO TAUGHT HIM THAT #they taught him how to love and then he went back and saw how much they needed love as kids and he taught it back to them #and he returns to his time and the love is there tenfold #GODDDDD #twinkling watermelon #elly's posts

#that's 2 of 3 partys in my moms honor down. this one was our childhood neighbor friends #which it was really good to see them but it was really just a party. no one really talked about her at all. the subject was avoided #i think bc ppl r awkward abt it. like im fine to talk abt it. it happened. i dont see a point in avoiding it #but im also not the most socially adept. which i did pretty good talking to ppl but i was still the most awkward one there #and idk this experience has really taught me that u should have a lot of friends and a spouse bc i dont kno how a person like me could go #thru what my mom did and survive if i didnt have my dad. so i guess i have to con someone into marrying me #id b difficult to marry. im difficult to b friends with. im too avoidant of any people #im gonna die like that lady from 6 feet under with no friends. like a fridge fell on her or something. idk #but i cant die bc my dad cant go thru this again. i dunno. well see what life throws at me #also. my childhood friends r a lot of real smart ppl. like a lot of engineers and medical doctors #they make me feel so dumb. but alas. im but a humble environmental Science person #ay. i dunno. it was fun but im drained #and my cousings boyfriend is still a fucking freak who harasses animals. he really upset one of our dogs #my sister says she can imagine him murdering someone and tbh so could i. so i hope my cousins safe #unrelated

I have to admit I never even imagined witches to be evil until I came here on tumblr and read some of y'alls analysis of literature and other media. The whole evil laugh and brewing potions did not connect to being evil in my mind ever. I was just raised with everyone around me thinking witches were cool as hell.

#my grandmother used to tell me that she was a witch and that her daughters and also me were ones too #and tbh i believed that bc she used to take the pain away with her magic #which was just her hovering her hand above the painful place #and istg it worked every time be it placebo or the #im not going to explain the neural pathways that make thermal and tactile sensations lessen the pain #but its a thing #and all my aunts liked witchy stuff #they made runes on pebbles by painting the sigil with a nailpolish on them #my grandmother also told the future by regular playing cards #i was taught the thing where you hold a necklace and ask a question and if it swings one way its yes the other - no #both my mom and grandmother have had at some point protective spells in their wallets #my grandmother always made a protective spell on us when we were leaving #i was taught to always greet and thank the mother of forest when going mushroompicking/collecting berries #me and my younger aunts (i had 5 year difference with the youngest) were always up to some weird stuff #like you know lighting a candle by the window and repearing a phrase to see how your fated one will look like #a lot of things in midsummer with flower crowns were done for luck or once again to predict the future #oh and the whole holding a metal object that started turning in your hand when you went above underground water junction #there were. a lot of things.#oh and we even collaborated with ghosts #and we had two completely black cats when i was little #and i remember i once found a part of an animal skull on the ground and i felt overjoyed #so yeah thats how i never even imagined witches could be evil #until late teens

I should stop going on instagram. Why are people always so mean in the comments ?

I was just watching a video of a french grandma sharing her roasted chicken recipe (it's almost the same as my grandpa's so it made me smile cause I know it's good) and almost everyone in the comments was awful. Lot of people calling it unseasoned (it wasn't) and disgusting and lot of people getting defensive about it and therefore insulting other countries cuisine.

Like first of all why are people judging other culture's cooking, the philosophies are different, and second of all why do people have the urge to comment on everything ? Why don't they just ignore it ? It makes me a little sad.

#fae talking #i wonder why people feel so strongly about food #i mean i know but eh #anyway who taught these people tgat aromatic herbs and shallots aren't spices ?#i want to make them smell good quality thyme and oregano I'm sure they'd love it #ooooh and basilic basilic is so so so cool !!! in tomato sauce it enhances the whole thing !!!!!#like granted roasted chicken isn't elaborate #but with good quality meat the flavor only needs some enhancing #plus when the skin is salty and crispy hmmm #my aunt have a chicken farm and hers are extraordinary #they live a really good life and you can taste it #recipes with paprika or other imported spices are wonderful but simple grandmas recipes are too !!!!!!#spices existed in europe before colonisation ! different kind of salt and pepper have different flavours !!!!#i know most of the 'mean' people probably already know aromatic herbs but idk #maybe not the right recipe ?#i never know what to call spice in english tbh #like does it only mean non-european herbs ?#because that's how some people seem to use the word ?#it makes me think : I need to ask my mom for my grandpa's onion sauce recipe #it goes really well with roasted chicken #and any other white meat too !#and with bread hehe bread is always good #when there's still sauce in your plate bread saves the day !#no wasting good things !#yeah fae rambling about common things over

#I created this because I was never taught in Driver's Ed. on how to use cruise control (I mean it's extremely easy and simple) so I never-#knew where to put my foot so I just lightly rest it against the brake pedal but apparently that's not common??#because one time I was driving with my mom and I had the cruise control on and we were going downhill-#and I felt the vehicle's brake pedal depress to slow down (which not all vehicles do this either in cruise control) and I told her about it #and she was confused on how I knew and I told her and she said that she only rests her foot on the floor of the car #my sister also rests her foot on the brake pedal so idk where we got that from but it just makes me feel more safe knowing I can-#slam on the brake pedal immediately if I have to #poll #tumblr polls #driving #my poll

Fanny, my sweet, beautiful girl

17.11.2012 – 14.04.2019

#my art #artists on tumblr #I cannot accept that it has been 5 years already #I know covid messed with everyone’s sense of time but it simultaneously feels so much longer and so much shorter than that #exactly five years ago I was holding onto my mom for dear life and sobbing as we watched lilo and stitch together #not the best movie to watch when you’ve just lost your first ever pet you know #and then I cried myself to sleep at the next morning we never mentioned her again #I know it’s because it was way too painful for everyone involved. but I do wish I was allowed to process that grief properly #instead of bottling it up and pretending everything was okay until I was reminded of her #feeling like my heart was being shattered over and over again every single time #well anyway. enough of that. I’ve allowed myself a nice long cry today and got most of it out of my system #and once I was feeling okay I decided to draw her #and I can count the number of times I’ve drawn animals on one hand so.. I’m not too sure about the result #but it felt like to commemorate her in some way.#so yeah. here she is. my dear girl. the best dog in existence. she was always so affectionate and kind #which I didn’t always appreciate bc of how young I was. when you’re a kid it feels like pets will live forever #never barked. never bit anyone. her only crime was chewing on my mlp and lps toys that I left out on the floor #but I’m grateful she did that. it taught me not to leave my toys lying around and to clean up after myself #she really was taken from me way too soon. ideally she could still be alive right now. but I’ve been down the road of guilt and regret #there was nothing I could do. I was a child. I can only hope that she knew she was loved right until the very end #even if I didn’t know how to show it properly. and great. now I’m tearing up again #I suppose it’s unavoidable. April 12th will always be a melancholy day. and maybe that’s not such a bad thing #it’s good to have a day when I can freely remember her and cry if I need to. it’s healthy. it’s better than crying every day #she never liked it much when I cried. always tried to comfort me. that’s the kind of dog she was. I miss her so much #when I move apartments and get a dog of my own I’m getting a spaniel. just like she was #well. maybe a different colour so I don’t end up sobbing every time I look at it. but spaniels really are the perfect breed #I mean. cavaliers especially were bred for love and warmth. that’s just what I need. it will be nice to have someone waiting for me at home #and while I don’t necessarily believe in the afterlife… I do hope that Fanny’s watching over me #spiritually comforting me when I feel all alone in the world. it’s a nice thought for sure #and hopefully she won’t mind me getting another spaniel too much. it will be done in her honour after all. to make up for my past mistakes

having a comic idea in my brain but i dont wanna get up and sketch it but i cant write it in the way i want to because i am cursed to think in pictures but i cant. draw it rn.

#OH WELL. i just wanna know what their story mode journal entries would be like and i have some ideas #fish resents the entire concept of being forced to keep some kind of log and mostly uses it to complain about shit. l dear dumb diary #type shit like dear my stupid fucking diary that my stupid fucking boss is making me do. but they do actually do it because they cant bring #themselves to be mean to winston they just do it mad the whole time #they try to bother the boys into showing hir theirs and i think junkrats using his like a sketchbook to do little doodles instead of #actually writing anything and people just let him. maybe he lies and tells mercy he cant read so command just lets him get away w it #in my mind theres a tangential conversation where he has a lot of doodles of sojourn doing cool stuff and fish points out that he knows a #lot about overwatch and hes like yeah? i watched the old broadcasts as a kid. and theyre like ??????? how did you get a fucking tv in the #wasteland. and hes like OH well my mum was real handy where do you think i get my brilliance from. in my mind his mom was a tinkerer and a #fairly compassionate and decent woman who kind of taught him some of the basics before she died sometime when he was a kid/tween #anyways then they notice roadhog is spending a weirdly long time writing his and he wont show it to them so they just fucking wrassle it #away from him. i cant decide the funniest thing to be on there between genuinely journaling with a lot of emotion or hes writing some #shitty original novel or something. like brigs poetry where its just really bad but very earnest.

frieren was so good that i'm about to sew something for costuming for the first time since my sophomore year of high school

#neil.txt #i was DOODOO at being taught how to hand sew because of my issues also because my mom was the person teaching me but i learned how to in HS #first because i was stagecraft and second because i wanted to make my own cosplays. never did the second part though (broke HS student)

i mean this in all seriousness.....

every bonus and raise i get at work is cuz i taught myself adobe automation tools and javascript for adobe (even though i took cs in hs like, i could not find a class in what i wanted so i just had to self teach it)

but the only reason i self taught that was cuz i was overly obsessed with kpop

so as long as all my savings accounts are where they should be (percentage of income-wise)... so like 401k, emergency fund, down-payment fund.......(which.....are all invested and/or in high yield 4.5% monthly compounding interest accts and are making their own money)

i can just dump all my disposable income into kpop because if i wasn't unhinged about kpop, i would not have this much disposable income lol

i feel like this is 100% an original meaning of girlmath moment tbh
