#Those things eat a LOT

[pushing500]

Kaz got food poisoning, and we have a new colonist in Kawoo, a lovely yttakin lady who is very helpful in dealing with our excess of baby thrumbos (and many other animals).

Head Researcher Brennan has unlocked a new trait after getting malaria, which is apparently a thing that can happen, and Irwin is going to marry Connie! It's very exciting, but I am wondering if I should keep calling him "Irwin" even when it's not his name anymore... I don't really think "Max" suits him, though.

Randy Random noticed that Irwin got engaged and decided it would be fun to give him a mysterious backstory, complete with an ex-wife, who showed up pretty much immediately after he proposed to Connie.

Ex-wife Bosva has the same religion as Connie and is just as disgusted at Irwin's lack of a hat as she is. Several of the men accompanying the tribute collectors were also hatless and very upset about having their hair exposed. The Empire has some odd beliefs in this save file.

Ungrateful colonists did not enjoy the 100% quality skylantern festival, but I suppose I can't please everyone.

Irwin's persona zeushammer, Xanxalbur, has the 'bloodsoaked' trait from the More Persona Traits mod, which means it sometimes splashes blood around when he's using it. Our poor training dummy is often left looking like something from a crime scene by the time Irwin is finished there.

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

#this is true #writeblr #warm up #relatedly for some reason one of our Favorite Jokes #amongst the Siblings #is like - ''this is so good u will love it'' #while we are reacting to something we OBVIOUSLY find viscerally disgusting #like we will be actively retching and be like ''nooooo it's so good'' #to the point that i sometimes get nervous if someone outside my family is like oh u should try it its good #(obvi we never force each other to eat anything. we are all just curious birds and #like. we're GONNA try the new thing.) #edit to answer why we had so much vanilla: #my mom is a very good cook and we LOVE to bake. so she just had a lot of staples in the house. #it's one of those things that's like. have u ever continuously thought ''ah i should get butter im probably out'' #even tho u are not out of butter. so u end up with like 5 years of butter. #my mom would do that in a costco but like with vanilla extract #to be fair we WERE always using WAY TOO MUCH bc we were kids #so like she was right to stock up #ps. yes we were VERY sick after this lol i just didn't want to include it in the post in case ppl had an ick about that #u can tell it's real bc we knew "oh no we fucked up that's too much vanilla to waste'' but our reaction was to just. keep drinking it #> sibling understanding that vanilla extract isn't free > knowledge mother doesnt mind if we use it for milkshakes #> sibling choice to maybe get in a loophole of ''not wasting it'' if we drink it bc that's the same as using it (not throwing it out) #listen bud i was like 13 and my sister was like 9 #when my mom discovered this we. got in. A LOT. of trouble. a lot of it. a LOT of it. #3rd edit bc i guess it isn't clear - i am 1 of my brother's 2 little sisters #i am the middle child #out of all the ways i have had to explain a post before being like ''did u forget a middle child can happen'' is my favorite

tbfh i love when people will headcanon characters as being of their culture and then draw little comics of them participating in traditions that the artist is clearly intimately familiar with. like YESSS share your personal cultural experiences with me through the blorbos!!! i love to see it!!!!!!!

#once saw this comic of rezi eating like... this little doll thing that got hidden in food i think? i think it was a spanish thing maybe? #it was years and years ago so i dont remember but i did think it was cool #and lots of different wedding ones; those are always so cute #or literally just ones of the blorbos speaking other languages #its all so good! please share your beautiful or silly or dumb traditions with me! i love learning how other people live

what is it about trying to learn health facts or hygeine or body care that after a certain point it tailspins into online fanaticism. why does my mom believe gut health powders meditation and sunlight mean she will never die or age. girl i just want to find a good yogurt brand

#we're trying different yogurts bc our kid (also has autism) is super super food picky #moreso than i ever was as a kid #forrest never had issues with food more sensory things like sound and heat/textile stuff #whereas i was super super picky BUT. i was always introduced to something of at least diff food groups #so even if i onyl atelike 6 things id always have One vegetable. One probiotic. One protein source. u get the deal #we only recently got our kid to start eating fish sticks and chicken and even beef! #so hes got protein down. before he only at chips and frozen mini pizzas. like thats literally it #and he eats bananas and strawberries. we got him vitamin/protein drinks for the time being so hes not nutrient deficient #and he likes those theyre chocolate #but we're trying to find a yogurt he doesnt mind bc he doesnt have like. any. digestive or fiber ro like anything ot help him #i dont want him to feel sick and sluggish all the time . we've had a lot of success with the drinkable yogurts #but talking abuot this made my mom start talking about gut health.......

original thief series basso & garrett :)

ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels

there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.

anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.

⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app

#if i had a laptop and the skillset i would attempt a story mod because the thief modders who create whole mission stories #are GENIUS and also somewhat terrifying. love them! xoxox #anyway im actually kind of obsessed with parts of thi4f but its also like. not at that sweet spot of almost good enough to be fun #to talk about. which. for the record. has not stopped me from talking about it at length to people #the city itself actually fucking fascinates me. its almost alive and im SO mad that not a single part of that game is actually terrifying #it should be gnarlier and instead it feels a bit like it doesn't quite want to be trapped in the story it has to tell? #but between the level that has the bodies on the meathooks #and the scene with the bodies hanging from the rafters or whatever that was and garrett living in a clock tower #because the game is very much ALMOST about changing times and authoritarian violence and capitalism #(like. by virtue of how the story sort of spins out i think it misses it's mark on a lot of stuff here #in the sense that i dont feel like it actually wants to tell that story. it wants to. go in a different direction. or at least walk on top #of those themes instead of through it) #ANYWAY between all of those things. it does kind of live in my head rent free. they did create a compelling setting #SHAME THEY DIDNT WANT TO ACTUALLY EAT ANY OF IT #unrelated but i would've given thi4f a 10/10 if they kept garrett's fucking nail polish from the concept art. cowards. unforgivable #thief the dark project #i still have no idea how to tag the game series as a whole RIP #sorry for the dedicated dark project fans. if you know what the general series tag is. please let me know #garrett thief #basso thief

[bonetrousledbones]

redrew this old thing to be more faithful to the original art and ngl i’m obsessed with it now

#trousled arts #undertale #papyrus #trying to sound chill typing that caption as if i'm not going to print this out and eat it in one bite #also i cant remember if links still stop things from showing up in tags so lets find out lmaoo #those highlights were a BITCH btw. but this was really really fun lol #i definitely learned a lot about how to study other art styles and branch out a bit from my usual techniques #i will Not be doing that shading style ever ever ever again but the lines.....hmmmmmm #anyway *cocks gun* LOOKIT

[canonkiller]

do you consider your self made?

#my art #self portrait of sorts #been musing a lot on disability recently and how being relatively freshly unable to do Most Things has changed my perspective on things #for a long time growing up i was fixated on the idea of being An Impact On The World yknow? mainly the next Big Writer #(and that it would be sooo impressive that everyone would make my books bestsellers when i was only 12 because it was That Good) #and i mean. obviously that didnt work out as originally planned because i was 12 and learning. but I've felt a lot like #I've kind of built my sense of self on those big achievements. even if they were only big to me. and a lot of them #are now out of reach or very difficult to reach. and it's been a lot to. recontextualize #to take what ive been told my whole life and ignore it in favor of just being being enough. #things will happen as they happen. i havent earned anything by suffering but it hasnt ended the world either #im here doing what i Can do for as long as I'm able to do it. and thats all i need to be for now #just making sure that i Do do the things i can do rather than assume i can do them later #anyways. love you #cw: #top nudity #artistic nudity #the dreaded ambiguously presenting nipple #if you put any pro weight loss eating disorder shit on here ill kill you btw #my body is sexy because im in it and im still alive. not because its struggling to stay that way #lindwormposting

Your art tastes like aged paper, sugar, and chocolate to me, with a hint of salt every so often

Machete looks like white chocolate, and Vasco's like buttery caramel

.

#aw #that sounds nice #anonymous #answered #I was wondering what the aged paper is doing there but it reminded me of something #so I'm going to share a weird personal detail totally unprompted #I think I used to have pica disorder when I was a kid I would gnaw on and eat a lot of small inedible objects #pieces of cardboard rubber bands and blu tack #the plastic animal figurines I had had bitemarks on them and were often missing bodyparts like if a dog had gotten to them #also a ton of uncooked pasta #I think it wasn't a flavor thing I had obsessions for specific textures that weren't found in actual foods #I particularly craved those candy wrappers that are made of waxed paper #(finns might be familiar with pihlaja or marianne wrappers for example or those translucent inner wrappers in lehmäkarkki/ cow cream fudge) #can't say for sure when it stopped but one day I realized that hey hold on this probably isn't normal human behavior #I think I was over 10 but under 15 #and I had forgotten the whole thing but got such a vivid flashback from that line it was actually kind of alarming

huhuhuhu look what I made

I AM GONNA open my shop this month I've put it off long enough 😤

#I need to finish the goromi pad and redo my candy charm asap so I can get those prototyped #and redo my manjuu cuz I like my art style a lot more now than back then #I got a few new things I wanna do cuz RRRRRRR the desire to create is eating my brain #rgg merch #blog mod

now is a great time to remind people that qsmp HAS child harm/child death! These are legitimate triggers and you should evaluate whether this is media you want to consume. If you're not sure, take some time to step back and think about it!

#qsmp #im seeing a lot of people freaking out at the thought of something happening to the eggs #and i want you all to remember that this IS a story that would have child death and a healthy dead dove: do not eat tag on ao3 #youre not wrong for being upset about upsetting things but i want everyone to remember that this is a story that HAS those upsetting things #and as the audience we have no control over that #but we DO have control over what stories we consume #so there's your lil reminder

Fake Peppino a crying of the hugs on pipoe .

Piepoe will provide hugs to any creacher that need some when they're sad!! Even to Fake Peppino, despite her confusion at first.

#would a pumpkin pie dry those tears #pumpkin...? pizza pie? #the translations for both of them in the last image <:3 #but thank you for this particular request! though piepoe does find fake peppino to be a lot at times he will comfort him if it is needed. #to be fair though piepoe only really does it to make him not cry on them any longer as it causes stress. #cheering up the creacher so they are no longer unhappy will allow piepoe to calm down a bit itself hehe #making this also made me think of a silly scenario where they both just make things together to cheer up :]!! #but ALL that aside... be safe now!! thank you again for this request! be safe and make sure to rest and eat and drink water! #sending lots of love!! 💖💓💖💓💖💖💘💖💓💓💖💘💖💘💖‼️‼️‼️ #Piepoe arts

You're allowed to be proud of yourself for achieving things that are not seen as achievements or are seen as "just the norm."

Sometimes, the achievement is reaching where others have always been, and it isn't about being normal, but about the things you have done to achieve a goal. You can celebrate and be proud no matter how "small" a feat it is

#positivity #encouragement #encouraging words #(mentioning food in the tag rant) #i'm proud of myself for trying a new food on a whim (or new as ini've never tried that specific variation of the food before) #and i'm happy with myself because this takes a lot of energy and mental space to actually do and i did it #and i'm not proud that i did a thing 'normal people' do (eating a variety of foods)... #...i am proud that i did something for myself. i am proud that i safely went out of my comfort zone #that need not me emulating the 'normal person' #forever annoyed at microwaved foods which get hot quickly and then lose that heat as you eat it #is this just a me thing because i feel like those microwave meals get cold quicker than food cooked any other way #deploying science side of tumblr to explain microwaves like i am five (lighthearted)

I really need to stay humble lol

Me: I DON'T get the Dream x reader crowd I mean you do you, I'm obsessed with him but in a I Want To Study Him way. I don't get it. I mean he's such an emotional disaster, big divorced dad energy. Like what's attractive about a walking red flag -

Also me, a known dumbass, sees them:

Me omg hiiiiii <3333 #steponme2k24

#desire #the sandman #they could probably eat my heart and i'd thank them #I mean I don't think a lot of the dream x reader ppl objectify him in character #at least according to those who have looked #but that's another thing and also their business like I have no real beef with them unless they do incorrect tag spam. Live your bliss #Morpheus thirst girlies?? I can't act like I'm any better than y'all and I salute you. I get it even if I don't get it #we're all in this dumpster together #I am gay and stupid when it comes to hot fictional ppl okay #my biggest beef with y'all is being jealous because there's more than there used to be don't get me wrong #but there is CRIMINALLY little content for the Desire simps okay. So much less than there should be it feels wrong

everyone says they want to be an ally to disabled people and be inclusive until they can’t hold events the way they want to. like thanks for the invite but if the space isn’t accessible and if it isn’t outside and/or masks aren’t required then i can’t even consider going

#a friend was talking about prom and i haven’t gone to a dance since middle school #because every time they weren’t covid safe and often inaccessible #there was a big trip yesterday to go whitewater rafting and i couldn’t go not only because of my biopsies which have yet to fully heal but #also because once again it isn’t accessible #i mean i don’t even eat lunch with other people because it’s inaccessible #a lot of it is also because of covid and because people don’t want accessible outdoor events or mask mandates #honestly I’ll refuse an invite half the time if an event doesn’t have both of those things #it is not safe for me to risk my health that way because someone wants to pretend things are ‘normal’ #nor would it be healthy to risk the stress that comes with other people being irresponsible and naive #but also half the times things just. aren’t accessible. like right off the bat i can’t go unless i want to risk a lot of pain and discomfort #which means i won’t really be able to enjoy myself #my post #the monstrosities attached to my legs #cripple punk #disability #you can rb this idc

hey in your Lights Out au, does Wally still eat with his eyes? & if he does, is that effected by the fact that he's, you know, missing one?

that is Such a good question that i Have Not considered! i'd assume... yea!

#excellent thought it has me Thinking.... #bc im of the belief that the puppets dont really Need to eat? #like i doubt theyd die or become malnourished if they didnt? #which is good bc in this au they'd run out of food super quickly #i mean wally would be fine. he'd just start eating the houses #but anyway yes yes Yes i do believe it would affect Wally's ability #it probably took a lot of concentration when he was first calibrating to the change #and he probably could only eat half a bite at a time instead of a full one... #man this poor dude has to partially relearn hand-eye coordination / eating / art / perspective #sally fucked him over oopsies! she didnt mean to! #rambles from the bog #wh lights out au #yk its probably even harder for him to 'eat' things predominantly on his left side #since more left eye power would be used for those... #catch him whipping his head to the side like an anime character about to fuck someone up
