#a talking tomato :)

[warmspice]

there's a bone deep coldness within me that can only be soothed by being simmered in a stockpot for hours on end

#It's that time of the year where I want to be soup.... Boiled like a lobster..... #Void talks #Like genuinely need to be pressed like a panini put on a hot grill and then dunked in tomato soup. #I am.. So. Cold and it's coming from. Inside the house... #Gold star

i unironically got invested in this HELP

#WHERES THE FIC AT IF SOMEONE WRITES THIS I WILL PAY THEM A HUNDRED DOLLARS😭😭 #kunikida serving the country while dazai's serving cunt😔 #dazai was born to malewife but forced to manipulate and i think that's the greatest tragedy of bsd #anyway some facts i would like to share abt this au thay i came up w while drawing!! #takes place in 1939 (start of wwii) and there was a mandatory draft that required one male over eighteen from each house to serve #both of them are still twenty two and had been engaged for abt two years before getting married that year #newlyweds! unfortunately kuni had to go fight and they were seperated :( #before the war kunikida was a math teacher at the local high school and dazai obviously managed the household and didn't work #he's hopeless at cooking and meal prep even w recipie books so they either get those prepackaged meals or kuni makes dinner when he gets ba #so like when he's making lunch for kunikida he normally just packs a basic sandwich w raw fruit #kunikida always appreciates the effort even tho hes probably sick of having the same thing everyday but he won't complain abt it #when kunikida joined the army he was relieved that the mess hall had better food than dazai #he was the only one in his platoon that never complained abt the food so his fellow soldiers assumed it was bc he came from a tough bg #when in reality he was just used to being poisoned on a daily basis from his dumbass husbands cooking and was hardly fazed from army ration #they write to each other although its more dazai sending and kuni receiving bc hes off fighting and doesnt have time to write back #dazai talks abt life on the homefront and how he has to grow a victory garden (everything is DYING HE CANT EVEN RAISE TOMATOES) #and kuni writes abt his fellow soldiers and how the war is going and when he thinks he'll be home and how he misses sleeping in a bed #ANYWAY yea thought i'd share sry for infodumping in the tags again #this post is for like the four ppl that care abt this specific flavor of knkdz so hopefully this gets four notes at least #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #dazai osamu #osamu dazai #kunikida doppo #doppo kunikida #kunikidazai #knkdz #lotus draws #bro sry for posting at two in the morning i couldnt sleep until i got this out of my head they have infested my brain

"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.

#out of queue #ani rambles #punks and posers #i cant even call this a 4am hot take because its 7pm but like #idk i keep seeing posts about like 'how DARE people think I bought my punk clothes how DARE they not know the how-tos and DIYs' #or 'ugh people only care about the ~aesthetics~ of my movement if you don't know shit get out of here' and like #maybe I'm just a shy ass introverted nerd whos scared of social rejection! but I avoid that shit like the plague #so if someone were to reject me based on not knowing about something I'd never even heard about? something i was JUST getting into? #there's a high chance I'd just scram and never look back. i don't wanna be the one who causes that emotion in someone else #granted this is coming from someone who STILL doesn't know how to make her own patches or worked up the courage to do direct action praxis #outside of offering neighbors to my tomatoes and trying to talk to people about what I'm passionate about #but still imo unless someone's a malicious intentional bad actor i dont see the point in scaring newbies off #thats how movements die imo #i know this is my solarpunk blog but its not a solarpunk specific thing #i think the main post that inspired this was about store-bought versus self-made spiked leather jackets #which honestly just feels petty to me but who knows. #might delete later

Random Things I Love About Kudou Shinichi (an incomplete list)

The fact he is such an absolute simp for Mouri Ran, totally besotted, UTTERLY WHIPPED.

How he is never immune to Mouri Ran's (AKA the love of his life's) beauty. You can literally let him be in the presence of other women in varying state of undress (in a bathroom, on the beach and so on), and he would still notice One Mouri Ran And ONE MOURI RAN ONLY. Also the fact 1) he cannot handle the sight of Ran naked without getting a nosebleed and 2) he can identify Ran's body shape and legs ON SIGHT (both consciously and unconsciously).

Him being an endless well of random facts and knowledge.

How perceptive he can be.

How Shinichi blushes SO MUCH (and especially when Ran is involved).

*YELLS INTO MEGAPHONE AT FULL VOLUME* PROTECTIVENESS

Him being so dedicated to saving lives, him being competent, and trying to give the best possible first aid he can.

Him being the the most excited lil fanboy when it comes to the things he loves (be it soccer or Sherlock Holmes and anything in between).

Him Spouting Poetic Shit like it's nothing

Not Being Able To Shut Up and leave things without Comment TM

The fact he is so good at playing soccer and how playing with a soccer ball can clear his head.

HIS SENSITIVE HEARING AND SENSITIVE LITTLE NOSE.

#detco posting #la junk talks #detective conan #kudou shinichi #the detective gremlin #i'M totally going to add more to this post as i go #or make a new post? who knows #anyways there are so many things i love about him #also i gotta collect all the little manga panels to back me on these #there are just so many for me to tackle it in one sitting #so much MATERIAL but god i love him #one day i will find all the little baby tomato panels: i love it when he blushes

"the doctor is aroace," i say into the mic. the crowd boos. steven moffat throws a tomato at me. i walk off the stage. then, several voices arise from the back of the room. "they're right", say over a third of the actors that have played the doctor over its 60 year long history

#dr who #misc #aspec doc tag #ok edit this got more than 3 notes so i will clarify the actors in question that im talking abt #are tom baker colin baker sylvester mccoy chris eccleston david tennant and matt smith #(who have all either a) said the doctor was ace or b) talked abt disliking romantic storylines w/ the character or c) both) #giving me a 5/14 batting average. also moffat is throwing a tomato at me bc hes on record #saying that sherlock being ace/aro would be 'no fun' and 'uninteresting'. Which i will never forgive him for

last night i was blessed and able to try patagonia’s roasted garlic spanish mackerel! (google pic bc i was in an area with terrible lighting)

y’all. this shit was SO. GOOD. i’ve never had mackerel before at all but heard such good things about this brand, being able to find it at central market was a pleasant surprise :))

i pan fried some sourdough in the olive oil it came in (lil garlic pieces 🥹) and paired with little tomatoes, onions, and two options of hummus and cream cheese! both were delicious but i’m a cream cheese fan so. obv that’s the move

will be getting this again.. might use pickled onions next instead and fresh tomatoes when the garden tomatoes are ready :)) so excited. god bless

#a while ago i mentioned wanting to try tinned fish #here we go!!!! it’s worth it and the tins are so freaking cute #i also have some sardines in a spicy tomatoe sauce and i think that might be next #also. trader joe’s smoked salmon w olive oil. my love ❤️ #talk #it’s almost fresh tomato season!!!
