#thats what it says on the tin

[butchtranny]

"Hoot," said the owl with his head so white

"a lonesome day and a lonesome night!

Thought I heard some pretty girl say:

Court all night and sleep next day."

"No, no, no." said the turtledove.

"That's no way for to gain her love.

If you want to gain your hearts delight,

Keep her awake both day and night"

~ "The Bird's Courting Song" - Appalachian folk song, specific lyrics from Elizabeth LaPrelle's rendition.

#so there are often ppl who go thru the apartment complex garbage area #&sometimes ppl will leave food/old clothes/ect right outside of the area proper on a stone wall #&it makes taking the trash out a pleasant experience to see that kind of small communal gesture. #i took the trash out earlier&someone had left a little tin w “merry christmas” written on it on the wall #&it made me smile. #what im saying is love lives in the small gestures ect. ect. #&there are a lot of leftists who could learn a thing or two from the ppl in this complex who barely speak english #but still prioritize community when they can. #no one is living in this fucking place bc they have money lmao. #but they all still smile when i pass them walking outside. #obv those who are unhoused deserve new clothes&food that hasnt been outside first #but thats why everything is in a covered area right next to the trash; ppl recognize someone might not want it while others might. #its not a sweater or food drive. its just a small act of thoughtfulness. #... not right next to the trash lmao. separated from the trash. just in an area outside of it that ppl will pass to get there.

Amazing the power that a good old 'shut the fuck up' holds over junior cyclers when it's coming from a sixth year

#was it mean? yes. #but one of my enemies had found a tin whistle and was being purposefully obnoxious w it #n itd been a while since i yelled stfu on the bus id forgotten how utterly satisfying it is #that good old sixth year power #im not particularly physically intimidating but i have a very song 'does not care' vibe so if u get me to yell at u its extra effective #at least thats what my brother says

love being in charge of thanksgiving dinner i taste tested the turkey and went god damn this is the worst bird ive made to date by far but no skin off my back. then dinner rolls around and people are begging me to open a restaurant

#abrahim: im sorry but the cranberry sauce was a little too spicy this year #me (agrees): thats ok barby #abrahim 20 minutes later: actually after having a little more i changed my mind it’s really good #i should use this power for evil or something #woof #guest: the bird is SO moist #me: it’s like drywall actually but thanks? #what fucking thanksgiving dinners have you people been having. jesus christ #anyway here’s a rundown of the dinner. #potato leek soup: what it says on the tin. blended to a puree. the secret ingredient is curry powder and i #dress it with a basil infused EVOO drizzle and top with crispy bacon. #turkey: i brine in an orange-apple cider vinegar-white onion-cinnamon-star anise brine for at least overnight #then cover in a compound butter of rosemary sage oregano and garlic #aromatics in the cavity #the cranberry sauce is made with orange juice star anise and cinnamon. #i also repurposed some of #the cranberry sauce this year to infuse into my candied pomelo rinds #the mashed potatoes are mashed potatoes. idk I hate cooking potatoes I didn’t do anything special there #just a fuckton of butter. it’s meant to be a canvas for the rest of the food anyway. #zayn was in charge of veg because he is a veg god. he did brussel sprouts and roasted sweet potato #and both were a highlight for lots of people. he keeps things simple too but he just knows what herbs and spices to use #he’s so so good at keeping things healthy which imo is a greater accomplishment than what i do #all of my siblings are amazing cooks #oh and for dessert I ordered a lemon lavender cake for Zayn’s birthday and picked up pumpkin and pecan pies. barby brought eggnog

good moment

#ramblies #some little good things happened over the last couple days and im finally feeling it #like just.... WOW i dont know why i worry so much. a moment of clarity without the self doubt and im realizing just how good it can be #i need to be kinder to myself i think. i dont know why im so cruel like ooooghghgh im so overbearing but also i dont give enough #ooogoghg im so fucking average ooggh im living a big grand mistake and everyone will see through my supposed 'facade' #(like girl what facade. ur not even acting. what fucking facade. ur exactly as it says on the tin. you know this. they know this.) #like bitch shut the fuck up!!!! shut up!!!! everyone fucking cares about you!!!!! the sun is fucking shining!!!!!! #god i feel so undeserving at times and yet whenever im not desperately grasping the warmth just falls into my lap #like what on earth... i wasnt even asking and yet youre all here. how did i get here. why do i suddenly feel worthy. #i know it wont last but thats okay i always look for this feeling in the mundane things... good to know it can catch up to me like this!! #ill probably delete this later this is embarrassing but i just need to shout from my soapbox a little bit #i feel weird about talking to anyone specifically about this. woe. positive vent upon ye.

determination to not quit a fic with only one chapter left vs greedy brain screeching at the lack of comments vs hatred of this fic bc i started it 2 years ago and i was a bad writer then vs obviously no one likes it so no one cares 

#controversial opinion: i hate getting comments that are just heart emojis or bonus kudos #thats not helpful #and i get excited to have a notification #getting them sometimes is quite nice but when all my comments just say that it suggests that #theres nothing of value and nothing worth saying about what ive written #i dont want your table scraps. #i wanna talk with a human person who thinks im saying something worth discussing #not people leaving obligatory pennies in my tin cup bc theyre supposed to

Gestures at my weaponmaster youkai OC, Tomomi

Treating a weapon, tool, or mech, etc like a person because it's a constant companion and you must take care of it for both of your sakes is such a fun character trait and I adore it

#OOC #thats why I personally love media that has sentient weapons or mechs but they're not like. Humans or spirits they're just #exactly what it says on the tin they're just sentient

considering posting a lil geraskier thing i wrote up ages and ages ago becuz its very late so less ppl will see it.

#its kinda. i hate to say ''dead dove-y'' because thats kinda like saying its ''on the tin-y'' #but its kind of. on the tin-y. #and also i just think its worse than what i usually write and kind of over the top #but i like it....... i reread it a lot...... #its my. my emotional support over the top bit of Edgy #spoilers but: #its got eventual consentual poisoning 🥺

Honestly says it all about the mobile gaming industry that the best game I've played and that I consistently come back to is totally free, and that I've happily played for the premium version without ever doubting it

#its day r survival btw #which definitely has its issues in progression but thats not really conected to app purchases #its one of the rare few were you absolutly can play the whole thing without spending a penny #and while itll take a while to level up you're actually #doing things not just Waiting #it has its flaws but yeah one of the best mobile games out there especially if you have an itch for survival mechanics #my other fave is fruit ninja but i did pay smthn like £3 for it but again no complaints #tldr just #let me buy things #let me get something that does what it says on the tin to satisfy that part of my brain.

[butch13whack]

Having BIG HUGE THOUGHTS lately about my relationship (identity wise) with Kreel, Neumes, and Grist. The latter two are significant npcs/ocs for a dnd campaign I've been putting together for my friends. They were both inspired by Kreel but became much more than that.

Synpath is still an EXCELLENT term but talking with folks more I just... don't see them as hearttypes and we're not a system. Not as in one body multiple minds. It's like an invisible thread between universes and possibilities, which is very fitting as time and space magic/manipulation is a big reoccurring theme.

Honestly watching Everything Everywhere All at Once hit me harder than I ever expected it to. It's just PERFECT even outside of my identity feelings but it really gives me the strongest sense of longing and bittersweet sadness. I cried a lot watching it tbh.

I'll put it into better words eventually but "parallel(s)" is the best term I have to describe it.

We're almost the same, but it's like we're different versions of the same common source. Almost like a trope, an ancient and multi-universal truth. Their lives have happened, are happening, and will continue but I can see/feel/remember any part of it. It's not in order, it's not like we're "synced up" but we're still alongside each other and just as significant.

They're as close to me as being a therian or otherkin...the ONLY difference is we have different bodies/memories. It's like being a system but in the other direction?? One mind in many bodies.

#parallel #i like the term as well because its so... #what it says on the tin. its easy to remember and very flexible #if other folks want to use it they can #just makes sense for me and if it does for other folks thats super cool too!! #i feel like synpath and otherhearted are SIMILAR but. honestly its just what feels Right

my guide to getting started on firefox is the only one you need

step 1: download firefox from the official website

step 2: import your passwords and such from your browser. this sounds complicated, but it should take no time at all

step 3: download ublock origin from the firefox add-on website

thats literally all you need to do in terms of out of the box setup. you may wish to do more, such as downloading more add-ons (see under the cut for some i recommend), but this is all that is needed for most people

my recommended add-ons:

sponsorblock & her sister dearrow. sponsorblock allows you to skip sponsors in youtube videos, dearrow changes clickbait titles and thumbnails

dark reader. forces all websites to have a dark mode

the wayback machines official extension. allows you to archive and see archived versions of websites with 2 clicks

right-click borescope. allows you to view and save images, even on websites that disable it

search by image. what it says on the tin, including like a billion different image search engines, and you can customize which ones it uses

ruffle. a new flash player that is supposedly safer?? idc i use it because i have nostalgia for flash

xkit rewritten, my beloved. a suite of tumblr features you can toggle on the fly, including one-click reblogs with tags, blocking entire posts, loading the vanilla versions of audio and video, and much, much more

dont accept webp. does what it says on the tin, kills webps FOREVER

wikipedia vector skin and old reddit redirect. forces the old, better layout for those two websites

tampermonkey. allows you to write and use scripts for any website. examples include the dashboard unfucker and youtube no rounded video

redirector. make websites redirect to any other website, like forcing fandom wikis to go to breezewiki, forcing youtube to display shorts as videos, or forcing tumblr to display images in full quality (plaintext of these rules)

#cant catch me gay thoughts #everything under the cut is bonus and it takes up the vast majority of this post. its literally so easy to use firefox #please spread the word it is soooo simple. fun even

[hopefullyababe]

oddly no titles came to me in my sleep. maybe i should take a shower usually the best ideas happen in the shower

#daphnes talking again #cooking meth is a love language #actually i was gonna do more but i love that #just the right amount of self aware but also what it says on the tin. theres a level of buying into the sorce material. #yeah thats ones good
