You know I get that at the end of Ratatouille Ego recontextualizes the whole "Anyone can cook" thing by saying "Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere", however while that is true I don't actually think that's what I personally would take away from the original quote, because yes, where you come from should never dictate what you can accomplish, but becoming a great artist is not, and arguably should not be, the end goal for everyone.
Anyone can cook reminds me more of Juila Child with her whole "I'm going to take all of these secrets master chefs don't think normal people are worthy of and teach them to everyone anyway" because yeah the average housewife reading her cook books might not go on to own a michelin star restaurant, but the point of cooking, as well as any art, is the joy to be found in the process, and sharing that process and end product with the people you love.
Anyone can cook means that anyone can create art. You do not have to be good. You do not have to be a master. But you can get in the kitchen and pick up a pot and cook because art is not something only the gifted have a right to. We all have a right to it. And we all can learn. Stop worrying about becoming great, and start having fun.
I mean hey, in the film Ego's mother probably didn't make ratatouille that could be served in a fancy restaurant, but that doesn't mean it wasn't valuable.
my friends and I created spooky scenes with thrift store art. They gave me this one because I always quote Ratatouille 🤣
I love how it turned out!! I've never been a painter but I found this calming and therapeutic. My brain went shhhh. Im always chasing the shhhh. Maybe my new hyperfixation: thrift store gore painting.
I'll update my post when I add the cool frame.
I'd love feedback as long as it's with love. Please leave ur interpretations too, I'm curious 😌

Food is essential to all life on earth, but the kind of food you eat is sometimes just as important.
Every living thing on earth eats, and learning how to provide food for yourself is an equally universal step in becoming an adult. Whether we’re talking about humans, hamsters, or hippopotami, once you reach a certain age you are understandably expected to be capable of putting together your own meals. However, unlike animals human beings have to worry about not just finding food but finding…
if i ever become religious again, i will solely be interpreting the nature of God by consulting media produced by terminally online and clearly mentally unwell people. think Gene Ray's Time Cube, Terry Davis's TempleOS, and Bob Hickman's... entire online presence
Bob Hickman in particular is fascinating to me for a lot of reasons. first off, his mantra has wormed its way into my brain and i find myself thinking it at the most random times: "God Entered My Body Like A Body My Same Size" tickles something deep in the reptilian corners of my neocortex. also it helps that he spreads this message by making literally tens of thousands of different accounts across different websites, cold calling random phone numbers, and driving this car around Indianapolis:
what really gets me about his delivery of the mantra is how rote it seems to him. he rattles it off at the beginning of every single one of his video posts, but it always seems like he's a bit distracted and just getting through it for the ten thousandth time so he can say what he wants to. he says it the same way we said the pledge of allegiance in middle school (USAmerican moment), like someone or something is forcing him to.
what intrigues me most, though, is the way he talks about receiving the Holy Spirit. in sharp contrast to the official party line that God is good and being blessed is a positive thing, Bob seems to treat God entering him as a great burden, like some alien consciousness is forcing itself inside. God Entered My Body Like A Body My Same Size, so now it's twice as cramped. God as a parasite; a freeloader; a body snatcher. this is the kind of heresy and blasphemy i can get behind
definitely do not think about being called tons of masc terms by an f/o. if you’re comfortable with it of course, they make sure before doing so. maybe they start with calling you the petnames/nicknames they’d usually use for you, calling you handsome along with it (‘hey, handsome man’ or a ‘hi, my sweet, handsome boy.’) maybe you like being called pretty boy too, they’d definitely ask first. maybe they focus on the features they adore the most about you.
maybe you ask to be reassured with such words because you feel comforted by it and they don’t mind doing so, but in the end they really do think those sweet things that they mumble in your ear.
fun fact: in the room before the second hornet fight, the game doesn't unload her sprite after she runs off screen, so she just keeps running in the direction she left out of bounds, forever!
Samurai and Ninja in crappy pics because December here is under a constant cloud and I just want y'all to see them all golden and cute without learning how to take aesthetic pictures 🥴 💙❤️😆🥰
