#to any kind of variety

[kingstooth]

[guy who put a lot of thought into fantasy cuisines based on regional ingredients + cooking methods + class voice] i'm SO normal about food you guys have no idea

#this is peasant food but not impoverished food #so they get a little bit of variety but admittedly some of this is Special Occasions Food #they're in a primarily grassland biome w harsh winters dry summers and high winds and would have limited access to any kind of baking #so most food is steamed boiled or stewed! #there's also a large focus on keeping sheep so the peasant class would consume primarily sheep products #the kingdom specializes in textiles #food #king drew this #worldbuilding #*small correction the south has dry summers the interior and northern region do not #dnd

Since the Brits love to lovingly lecture us Americans about football and British things in Ted Lasso (which I appreciate!), I want to do my part to educate on one American misconception that drives me crazy:

Kansas isn’t the south. It’s the Midwest. Ted’s accent isn’t a southern accent. Jason Sudeikis is putting on kind of a hokey, country accent. But it’s not southern.

Credentials: I’m from the south and have a southern accent.

#ted lasso #just one of my pet peeves #people down here (the south) don’t talk like ted lasso #there are also a variety of southern accents! #I come from people from southern Appalachia so mine’s a rhotic southern accent #but that’s too much for this post #suffice it to say that Ted lasso isn’t any kind of southern accent

i actually really admire people who remember when they made their OCs and when they debuted them because my OCs have been swimming in the primordial soup of my brain since I was in middle school

WIP Wednesday!

Lately I've been working most on my SVSSS fic that's basically a "What if Shen Yuan was a little older and a little more competant". That's it, that's the fic. I have zero idea where it's going to end up, but I've got two chapters worth scribbled down, so that's something! I've also got an outline for a Tangled-inspired Liushen AU that I don't want to start because once I do, I think I'll keep going until it's done and I want to get more done on the longer fic first xD

I've still got plans for the post-MLC fic I'm working on! I really should finish that, since it doesn't have anywhere to go and should just be the one chapter... Who knows. I let words get away from all the time.

I've still got a couple of FF14 WIPs too, though the MSQ follow-along will always be slow going... I do want to finish the Dark Knight fic, but my WoL was in a Not Good headspace when he started that, so it's on a back burner too.

Feel free to Ask me to work on any of these and I'll post a new paragraph~ but either way, enjoy the snippet!

The entire night passed while he read, the morning only making itself known to Shen Yuan when a knock sounded at the entrance to his room and Ming Fan’s voice announced, “Shizun, I left breakfast at the table for you. Please let this disciple know if there is anything further needed.”

“Nothing but privacy, Ming Fan. I am only to be disturbed by meals for the next three days.” While he recovers is not spoken aloud, but carried in the silence that he lets linger a moment longer than it needs to. “Unless another Peak Lord requires my presence.”

Ming Fan bowed and started to leave after confirming the instructions, but was stopped by Shen Qingqiu’s voice adding, “Perhaps I will meditate in the gardens today. If I am not here, let it be known that I am unavailable for company.”

That should cover most possibilities. He was sure Mu Qingfang wouldn’t be back by so soon, but he couldn’t say the same for anyone else. With the worry from Yue Qingyuan that Mu-shidi had mentioned or potential curiosity as to his recent visitors, anyone could come by! And he didn’t want them seeing him practicing basic sword forms like someone who’d never held a sword before.

Since that was exactly what he planned to be doing.

After breakfast of course.

#wip wedenesday #svsss #mysterious lotus casebook #ffxiv #here i am falling into one of the two types of svsss writers #“just the book but slightly different” #the au should be really fun though!! #I've got 2.5 pages of outline that's going over who the villain is and why #and how the politics work considering I'm making the kingdom Cang Qiong #it'll be shen twins and liushen because i love both of these #the MLC fic is 100% “fighting is foreplay” but i'm not writing anything detailed #mostly just to not take over the whole fic since it's more focused on LLH recovering and finding joy in swordplay (of the not naked kind) #and that's more important than the swordplay of the naked variety ;D #ANYWAY #enjoy the teaser #and feel free to ask for me to work on any of these <3 #even the tangled au #though i know i'm not gonna sleep if I start that one XD

I am of the firm opinion that, until EXPLICITLY proven otherwise by canon, Kingdom Hearts Court Magician Donald Duck spent most of his childhood and adolescence traveling across the worlds on adventures with his Uncle Scrooge, and that's where he learned magic.

This is also where he discovered a lot of magical items, not to mention all the ones SCROOGE found, so honestly Donald doesn't even bother to keep track of all the treasures in the Duck Family's possession, no one does really, not even SCROOGE knows, he'll go digging one up because he needs one for a specific purpose/adventure and in the process he'll unearth like five similar ones he just plain forgot about.

Obviously Scrooge continued adventuring while Donald was off being a Musketeer, including at least one use of Zettaflare that is forever engraved in Goofy and Mickey's memories but for Donald was just in his bottom quarter of all-time adventure rankings, and obviously Scrooge continued finding fantastical treasures that he may or may not know the significance of. There's at least one magical sword that's currently being used at the Bistro as a knife because it never loses its edge.

What I'm saying is Scrooge McDuck is a Keyblade wielder and you cannot convince me otherwise. A weapon that can also open any chest is INVALUABLE to an adventurer like him, are you kidding? When he retired from adventuring in favor of being a full-time entrepreneur he just chucked it in the bin with everything else. Probably he managed to find one of the Foretellers' old Keyblades lying around or something. It'd just figure. No one told HIM he was needed for a war between light and darkness for the fate of all the worlds! Donald never tells him where he's been these days!

While I laid out this proposition to a friend on Discord, she agreed and added that Webby should get a Keyblade too.

Conclusion:

This is the current wielder of Ira's Keyblade. Scrooge had it lying around for a decade in some attic somewhere, Webby thought the unicorn was cool, and Scrooge figured, hey! Every child should have a good set of lockpicks for treasure chests and a means of self-defense, and it's not as though he's using it for anything important!

When Donald finds this out, he will be disappointed, but not surprised.

#kingdom hearts #eye contact #scopophobia #just gonna be on the safe side because that is a good Webby Stare right there. #Ducktales 2017 #ducktales #webby vanderquack #scrooge mcduck #donald duck #I know this will never happen for a variety of reasons starting with the fact that it would require a Disney character #who has not previously been relevant to BECOME relevant to the metaplot AND introduce a new one at that. Not likely. #plus then you get into the fact that 2017 Scrooge is a different continuity and design than 1987 Ducktales Scrooge or subsequent appearance #not to mention the voice actor differences (They could've gotten Tennant in 3 but didn't and Enn Reitel isn't trying to be him OR Young) #so using Webby (which they won't) would mean a character who should for design continuity be using her 1987 look and characterization #to go along with Scrooge and the boys but for 'why would Disney ever do this EXCEPT Brand Synergy' should obviously be 2017 #and like any kind of mixing and matching of the designs and voices would be odd even if Webby hasn't been established in KH #so there's no need to try and imitate Russi Taylor's very distinctive Duck Voice but at the same time it would just be ODD #like. Never gonna happen. Especially not to have a FORETELLER'S Keyblade particularly now that they're back in play. #but I think it would be funny as hell and so it is canon in my heart. #besides between the Xion-Roxas-Sora Can Dual Wield Even In 3 thing and whatever's going on with Keyblade Inheritance in 3 #with regards to Terra and Aqua's Keyblades and heirs (and whoever you argue Terranort's using they are also there at the Graveyard) #(like whether it's Terra's-that's-Sora's or Terra's or Xehanort's we've got LW there we've got Sora we've got Xehanort) #the only conclusions I can draw are either that Keyblades naturally duplicate themselves with a few plot-specific exceptions #or that Keyblades are susceptible to at least two different forms of item duplication glitch one of which involves time travel #meaning it is entirely possible for Scrooge and Webby to have Ira's Keyblade and Ira to ALSO have Ira's Keyblade #because time travel was probably involved if nothing else and time travel can allow for Keyblade Duplication Glitches #(no seriously try to explain how Roxas Xion and Sora all use a Keyblade at once in 3 WITHOUT at least one instance of duplication.) #(and this is assuming some convoluted 'Roxas inherited Ven's and Xion inherited Sora's and Roxas bequeathed her Sora's' in Days) #(so that there is technically no duping in Days but then with Sora and Ven ALSO running around in 3... like.) #(I'm pretty sure Saix is getting beat up with 4-5 copies of a single Keyblade that has been repeatedly duplication glitched is my point.)

i think i'll do 30 days of romance novels this april again so if you have any recs, please send them my way! anything goes but i'm not a fan of billionaire/mafia/macho man content so bonus points for soft mmcs, queer recs (of all kinds!), and underrated faves.

#i also do a majority of my reading via audiobook now because it's so convenient at my office #so while i love love love supporting indies... i will likely be too busy this year to do many ebooks #especially now that my commute contains exactly zero trains :( #but i welcome any recs you have! last year almost all the books were contemporary #but im very inclined to open it up to more variety ie. historical/romantasy/paranormal/etc etc etc #so pleeease send me your favorite recent romances or your most anticipated romance reads of all kinds ! #pers

im making a playlist for psych ward/post psych ward narrator getting back on his bullshit again :)

here's a song going on it:

#different varieties of it #this song specifically To Me is the narrator got put on some meds with major side effects that nuked his memory and he vaguely knows Tyler #kind of fucked up his life but yk Tyler is so sorry :( and Tyler's the only one who visits him :( Tyler says they'll be just all good from #now on :) #(as long as he remembers whose wearing the trousers) #and before you think this is unlikely. well. obviously its a little joking but also I went on a medication that destroyed most of my memorie #s of. i think it was 2018? 2017? god #and I was on it for a week #so. 1. be very careful with any neurological medications everyone should treat them with more seriousness #2. if the narrator forgot Tyler isn't real and the memories most prominent in his mind where all those fun good times with Tyler... #Ripe Pickings #music

finally found a place to read With the Light online and i'm thrilled; if you haven't read this manga i do Legitimately recommend it

#N posts stuff #like don't get it wrong it Is Not a series about being autistic it Is a series about raising an autistic kid #but also don't be put off by that because it's legitimately a series that I feel Loves autistic people with its whole being #it's kind of a teaching manga so it showcases a lot of different opinions/characters/conflicts/etc. but the Framing is very consistent #in that the manga is Extremely of the opinion that autistic people are People who deserve to be Valued and Accepted As They Are #the onus for change is never put on autistic individuals the framing is basically Universal in the 'the World needs to change #to be more accepting' -- it's a very Social Model depiction of autism that ALSO never veers too far into the #'autism isn't even Really a disability' fallacy; it's very much a 'A lot of autistic people will need constant support in a variety of ways #throughout their lives but that isn't the roadblock preventing them from having their own lives; ableism in society is the roadblock' #the first two chapters are the hardest to get through bc they take place before Sachiko has any real understanding of autism and #so she's isolated and stressed out and the ignorance makes it difficult for her to care for Hikaru properly (there's also a lot of #other characters Blaming her for what's going on which goes unchallenged at this point though that changes later); but after she #understands what autism is she's Firmly in Hikaru's corner for the rest of the series - you can skip right to ch 3 without a problem #if you're not interested in reading about that initial conflict #there's still a Lot of conflict ofc but by then the chapters have some of my favorite moments so i don't want to advocate skipping #them; like Hikaru's daycare teacher explaining how Hikaru's difficulty speaking is the same as other kids' troubles with #things like jump-roping/etc.; and then a mother who has An Issue with Hikaru's presence in her daughter's class realizing the #depth of the problematic opinion bc Her mother (who had a stroke) faces similar ableism from her peers #i'm cutting this post off b4 the tags get Too long but if you're curious but still hesitant man. send me an ask and i will Happily #write an insanely long essay about how much i love this series; i have all the books i'm not excited about the online availability #for Me i'm excited bc i've been wanting to rec this manga for like almost a full decade and i can finally give you a link instead of #saying 'well. you can find used copies sometimes' lol

I think the costume department coming out and admitting that they deliberately coordinated Tom and Greg’s outfits did irreparable brain damage to the succession fandom. Sorry

#there is not that much variety in mens clothes………. #they were coordinating ties and jackets not shirts……. #also. not every complementary outfit means the same kind of thing #not every coordinated set of outfits means they’re ‘true partners’ or ‘mirrors’ or whatever. there’s nuance!!!! #(not just talking about Tom and Greg here btw) #dw this isn’t about any one specific person or post. it’s just a Trend

first time people tell a content creator GIVE US MORE ADS

#i dont think they are greedy corporate monsters. i think they are creators trying to run a business with no knowledge on how to do that #icarus flying too close to the sun and all that #is just so clear they didn't make any kind of market research #a youtube poll would have helped them #is just a shitty thing because they clearly just want to have more creative freedom and do bigger things #but if you are running a business then you also need to think about your audience. which i don't think they did #and the international issue with dollars in this economy #+ the need to use a vpn in order to watch in certain countries apparently #+ an audience of mostly 20 somethings and younger people who have other priorities #and like nearly every single person that i've seen that actually likes this idea. has also said that are not paying #because they can't afford it. so even if people were on board with this. is just not viable with their audience #like sorry. but 'streaming service' is not plan b on the list of things to if you dont wanna rely so much on ads #and them doing a 14min long video that is edited like a shitty corporate apology video #in which you say 'if you can't give us money. bye ig' while promoting #a show about people traveling to dif places and paying expensive meals #while also saying you have no money to pay your 25!!! employees #not to mention not clarifying anything and leaving everything in vague terms #like international issues. whether you are deleting your previous youtube content or not (they don't say anything about this on the vid.... #.... Variety said they were gonna do it. but then they did the pinned comment so it feels like they are backtracking... #...even if they were never gonna delete it) #what newer content you want to make. the pros you get subscribing #broken record with this. but watch the og dropout ad. its clear. adresses concerns. tells you what shows would be available #and the one moment that they use sad piano music is used with irony #ok. no further comments until they say something lol #watcher #my post

#exoticbutterstxt #HMMMM well. i have a problem where if something i write or make is well received #i feel like a piece of shit for fooling everybody into thinking what i make is interesting #or in any way meaningful. which is SILLY #because my sonic stuff IS interesting and thematically rich #and contains a lot of meaning that is very personal to me and im glad it resonates #but istg the self loathing gets so bad sometimes with this kind of thing #logically i understand that self loathing not only hurts ME #but the people around me who enjoy me and the things i put out into the world. i am insulting the people around me as well by insulting #myself and my work. but its so hard to avoid that. #my brain it does not wor #work #idk if posting this is cringe do i look like an un self aware asshole here #theres a variety of things people could judge me for in these tags alone

Thinking about Garp v. Blackbeard because how am I supposed to not. And I know it won’t play out like this at all but there’s a scenario I can’t get out of my head. Catarina Devon shapeshifting into Ace to try and mess with Garp’s senses and emotions. And it works. Except Garp immediately punches Devon!Ace because Fist of Love is his primary method of communicating with his grandkids.

#one piece #one piece 1071 #one piece manga #monkey d. garp #portgas d. ace #catarina devon #I absolutely know this wouldn’t happen in a million years #for a variety of reasons #but also it would be hilarious #also also I’m forever emotional about Garp and Ace’s relationship #and would love any kind of nudge to that #also also also!!! #if Garp dies #🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

#actually though for reasons entirely unrelated to shows of any variety i've kind of had a really garbage year #like 'oh shit upon reflection i think i've been borderline depressed for months' garbage #and i was sort of counting this stupid little gay pirate show to lift my mood and distract me with a few months of fun meta #so watching the finale and immediately deflating because it turns out the season was actually just boring and uninspiring #uh... it sucks #and now i guess i need to find a new mood boost cause i could still really use it #ladyluscinia
