[professorreddmaple]

And The Ice Cream Experiment is officially open!

[author’s note, I am entirely ripping the name off from The Donut Experiment in the Tampa area, Florida, USA. Which, for the record, is really fun and I highly suggest going if you can]

Okay so in light of the current Ao3 donation drive, I’m seeing posts going around about how awesome it is that Ao3 is like, the one site left that doesn’t bombard you with ads and constantly try to sell you stuff. And I’m on board, okay? I’m 100% with you — I’ll defend and support that site till the day I die. It’s awesome.

However, I find this hilarious because the amount of things I’ve purchased and/or tried for the first time PURELY BECAUSE of how they were referenced (or more accurately, intricately and lovingly described) in fanfiction is… embarrassingly extensive 😅

(if you’ve been inspired to purchase/try more than one of these things, then pick whichever one has stuck with you the most)

#for the record this is just for fun #I am well aware that there is a MASSIVE difference from the site itself advertising things #and individual authors lovingly describing lemon ice cream until you just HAVE TO buy it #I just want to see if I’m alone in this experience of being led to purchase things and experiences from fanfiction or not #ao3 #fanfiction #polls #fanfiction polls

I like how Goemon's design doubles as both a display of his intimidating nature at being a living weapon, but also as representative of his social awkwardness. Goemon's face consistently has a flat effect, and he is the character most shrouded in shadow, making him seem "scary" to the people around him. But, beneath the surface, when he is given a chance by someone, he's actually a very moralistic and kind character who simply desires friendship; however, due to lacking friends, he does not know appropriate social conventions or expressions, making him look "scary," thus fueling the cycle again. I similarly like how Fujiko is the reverse of this, in the sense that her attractive appearance and understanding of social conventions and what people want from a woman allow her to draw people to her for less honest purposes.

#i'm not including this in the main text but I think twcfm did a great job understanding the autistic experience #goemon's a honest person who longs for a connection to someone but his lack of expression drives people away #not to mention his lack of understanding social cues and his botched attempts to seem friendly as seen in the ice cream scene #he's too autistic to understand exactly why people run from him and this makes him painfully lonely #lupin iii #lupin the third #lupin the 3rd #goemon ishikawa xiii #goemon #fujiko mine #twcfm #the woman called fujiko mine

post bagging on a retelling based on a specific archetype: we as a society have to move on—

no. more cake is more cake.

#like I get that post was mostly a joke and mine is too - mostly #and ALSO I get the weariness of the way paid media seems to be so reductive nowadays and refusing to experiment with anything new #but also it's okay if a specific story is retold and mutated again and again and again *because people like it* #'well I don't' the world is not only you!!!!!! #more of that story is being made because people are buying the cake!! #if you are sick of cake then go get yourself some ice cream and let me enjoy my cake!!

If they ever do a Yakuza Kiwami 3...

I hope they add a way in which I can explore the town with the rest of the children and not just with Haruka. Let me commit to being a dad!

Like maybe Taichi will ask you to fight him or to teach him new moves. If you go out with Izumi, she will stop next to the M store and aks you to buy Mame dog food or a toy!

Riona would definitely ask you to take her to play darts or pool, because those are mature games or something like that. And maybe we can take Mitsuo shopping so he can finally get a t-shirt he actually likes...

Koji, easy, he'll ask you to play baseball 24/7 hahaha. Shiro likes math, so maybe he likes to go to the casino to gamble! Only to be disappointed, like: "Having such bad luck… shouldn't be statistically possible uncle Kaz..."

Ayako is the responsible one, she probably takes you to the market to help Haruka with the shopping or asks you to fish the dinner (maybe she has you running around town to exercise lol)

And Eri is so shy and quiet. Kiryu should dust off his toy cars and get her into pocket circuit races, she need to socialise more.

And as group activities, maybe Kiryu could invite them all to dinner. There is a restaurant in Okinawa that has huge tables. They feel empty when Kiryu is the only one eating.

#what do u mean ayako is been crying and I can't buy her an ice cream?? #0/10 experience #if only I knew how to program... #kiryu kazuma #haruka sawamura #Morning Glory Orphanage #rgg #ryu ga gotoku #yakuza #yakuza 3

honestly i thought surtr was like some sort of hidden arknights boss or an ex-villain or something but she's just a passive mall goth lounging around and eating all my damn ice cream

#arknights #she doesnt leave my damn fridge alone #had to request a new minifridge through HR to hide my personal ice cream stash #(theyre original klondike bars. you see #only the original klondike bar has a solid chocolate casing hard enough that its a valid shell that doesnt crack or melt easily #and what i do is that in my office i use a spoon to introduce small microcracks into the klondike bar #to then pry apart by pieces and slowly deshell the klondike bar to eat its chocolate seperately from the ice cream #after ive finished eating all of the shell and ive properly left the ice cream proper nude #i proceed to eat the block of vanilla ice cream like a normal ice cream serving with the same spoon #using the foil itself as a plate for max efficiency #and upon finishing i lick the foil plate clean and politely fold up and throw away to minimize trash output as much as possible #thus ensuring a nice ice cream experience #but no surtr has to be like “bro just bite into the fucking ice cream its an ice cream sandwich” #BITCH you dont UNDERSTAND the PROCESS #WHICH ONE OF US IS THE TACTICIAN HERE????

Since in #7 Bernard Dowd is seen to want to be a Chef and I've had culinary arts schooling this is my list of oddly specific things pertaining to that. Use it as you want (just from my experience)

Having a callous on the base of your pointer fringer of your dominate hand from using a chef knife

Funky patterned chef pants

DISHES NEVER END

when you are moving with a hot pan or heavy items ect you tell everyone like HOT PAN! BEHIND. GOING AROUND THE CORNER. BEHIND!

small batches are cute but in a restaurant/bakery/etc you're doing big batches in industrial ovens and mixers. A batch of bread dough we made had 12lbs of flour and like a half gallon of water.

Culinary arts isn't just making food it's doing math, converting recipes, going over OSHA rules and restaurant regulations

After awhile you have enough knowledge to the point where you see a recipe on the internet and go "hey... I can make that. Like really easily" like you can just make curry or scallion pancakes or fancy food

You will notice the shitty knife cuts in like pre cut packages of fruit and veg at the store

You're not allowed to have nail polish or false nails (unless you want to wear gloves all the time)

You start to realise how easy it's is to do somethings for yourself. Like you can just buy a chicken and break it down yourself or make stock at home

Their will be at least one class day where you cut onions all day and leave in tears because everyone is literally cutting onions

Sometimes stuff gets pushed back in the fridge or it's after break and the food has grew a putrid smelling mold. Cleaning it is part of culinary, it's...Fun

Everyday you wear chef pants, a chef coat, a closed toe non slip shoe and a chef hat.

Your hands will get chapped af because you're washing them all the time, lotion is your friend

You do refer to your head chef as 'Chef' or 'Chef ____' (or at least we did)

You will fuck up except it and move past it. (I once put too many chips in the fryer, it over flowed and we had to clean it up)

Kitchens get hot and you're wearing pants and a coat that are designed to protect you from like boiling water being pored on them, so drink water.

You will get cut/burned/stabbed/squished fingers it's part of the job just don't get bodily fluids on the food

You're standing like the whole time no matter what

You know that gallon conversation thing you learned in elementary? You will see that in your sleep. Gallon to quart to pint to cup. Also 8oz to a cup. 3t to a T. 16oz to a Pound ect it's ingrained into my head now

With a bit of knowledge you now know things and you can use it. Like add Xanthan Gum to a blended drink to emulsify it and it's just like Starbucks.

On the down side people want you to make things

You start wanting things for your kitchen like a KitchenAid or a portion scoop or dehydrator and having that feeds back into "I can make anything"

Figuring out exact prices for things is crucial and a pain. Like you have to take the price of baking soda and figure out how much a 1/4t costs. It's not horrible ig but when you're doing it for a whole recipe or menu it gets repetitive.

Ok that's all I'm putting you get the idea

#bernard dowd #comics #dc comics #robin #tim drake #red robin #batman #gotham #batfam #my fixations have crossed over so it your problem #culinary #again other kitchens in other parts of the country or world will be different this is just from my experience #Tim Drake: Robin 7 #fic research #for yall #like it stuns me that i can just make things! like i can just make a Creme Brulee. i have made ice cream. i can whip up homemade Grenola.

[karkatbug]

the baby knows that all the striders are just sOOOOO biteable

The Striders gave off a pretentious/indifferent vibe that was immediately thwarted by the bug bite. They were humbled by it and now spoil the worm to hell and back (to Karkat's chagrin).

talon's been such a fun oc so far because he's essentially written himself.... thats probably Not Super Great in terms of originality but whatever no idea is original and its been fun to easily piece everything together while getting to know him better ^_^

#talkys #mfw i made him look young and babyfaced even at ''29'' as a reflection of my experience #where ive always looked younger and have had a few instances where people came onto me and actively lamented that i wasnt as young as i #looked. which was scary. since i WAS already young at the time #so there is a reason why talon feels so panicked and sick and dysphoric when he feeds #why he doesn't wear his lipstick and why he wears dirty clothes too big for him #and thats a very Direct. well. trauma does make you feel like a child. and it makes you feel small and weak #what a curse to essentially actually turn into one‚ appearance wise #the disordered eating....etc #*spongebob flying ice cream truck* horrible events happening to ocs and people are not part of the ''fun'' i mentioned in the original post #i feel like it cld come off that way...its not what i meant #oc text #oh i forgot...trauma makes u feel like a child AND it ages u ^_^

The Masterpost

This Story is Currently Suspended. I may get back to it, I may not. Who knows

This blog is running to write a story out of posts. Said story follows its writer Reed Maple as he returns to the Pokémon region Almia, about six years after the events of the DS game Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. Something about the region is off, and he’s going to figure out what and stop it before his beloved region gets hurt.

Here’s the plot of the original game.

Story Alterations

Reed (player character) was on exchange to Almia, and was staying for the year with his family. Mom and Dad (the characters) just prefer to be called that, while Little Sister (also the character) used that as an excited pen name. Her real name is Tory.

Once earned, the Tears of Princes gems were stored inside of the person who earned them. How? I don’t know, just magic. Why? Because that’s what the animation looked like to me. Why is this important? Mainly because, once in there, the person glows the color of that gem. Pencil-thin streaks of light come off their skin and they give off an aura of that light. This does not stop after the gem is removed, and never really goes away after, although time away from Almia and the gems will make it eventually fade until it’s barely noticeable, unless a gem comes close, the person gets extremely emotional, or the person wishes it to do that.

After the main plot ends, the gems are all returned to their respective guardians, with Darkrai guarding the Dark Stone. The gem guardians agree to a collection and cleansing of the Dark Stone every five years.

The main plot takes about six months from beginning to end. The remainder of Reed’s time there was spent cleaning up the damage and finding work for the team Dim Sun grunts that were now out of a job.

Reed left to go back to school after a year. He brought Pachirisu with him. He had no other partner Pokémon.

Kieth returned to Fiore a year after Reed left for school. Currently, he is still there.

Professor Hastings died in his sleep three years after Reed left

Other Exposition

Reed and Devon were roommates going through college. Reed studies Pokémon behavior, while Devon is a marine biologist.

Reed wrote his doctoral thesis on zoroark mimicry behaviors. During that time in Unova, he befriended an oshawott, who became his second partner, and later evolved into Dewott.

Reed’s college was almost exclusively based on “trainer-regions”, while the first time Reed ever actually visited one of these trainer-regions was to go to college. He prefers the ranger-regions style of doing things.

The Main Characters (and writing colors)

Reed Maple (Default/White)

An impulsive, happy-go-lucky scientist who is passionate about pretty much everything. Is mute and doesn’t seem to have a sleep schedule. Mostly kept in check by his partner pokémon, Pachirisu and Dewott. He/they

Devon Kelp (Orange)

A very passionate, but practical-minded and significantly more serious scientist. Easily frustrated, but usually that just makes her more determined to find a solution. Partner Pokémon are Skrelp and Quagsire. She/her unless noted otherwise

Tory (Green)

Reed’s little sister, a very excited and hotheaded teenager who wants to become a Pokémon trainer as soon as the region is opened to it. Found a “hat ghost” kricketot that became the family pet when Reed was on exchange, and is now by her side as her partner. She/her

Ceri (Red)

The family’s newest exchange student, a semiverbal teenager from Unova. They studied to be a ranger and are now stationed in Vientown to stay close to home, as they can’t handle the communal-style bedding the ranger stations use, but do not yet have any partner Pokémon. They/them

There’s a main plot and a few subplots, tagged accordingly (hopefully). The tags will go in chronological order for the story so far, but as Tumblr does, the posts themselves will be reverse-chronological, so heads-up there.

Experiment 323

Hunkahunka

Primary function: To cause anyone he pecks to fall in fake love with the first person they see

A hummingbird-like experiment. Small and fast to quickly hit many targets. Designed to cause societies to come to a crashing standstill by causing distracting artificial lovesickness. He is named after a lyric in the Elvis song "Burning Love."

He instinctively pecks people, causing them to fall in love with the first person they see regardless of their gender and personal preferences; only spraying water in the victim's face will break the spell and the freed victims will be confused with no memory of what happened. The lovesick people only want to please the object of their affection and lack any other ambitions. If the victim cannot see anything after being pecked, the effect will be delayed.

One true place: Unknown
