i just wanted to know what scallops taste like bc i can't eat seafood but this is extremely unhelpful

#talkin #i saw a picture of some nicely seared scallops on a cooking subreddit and got curious #my fiance says they taste good but that i would hate the texture #which is probably true.. thanks autism... #like i love the taste of bananas but they make me gag if i try to eat one so scallops are probably out of the question #even if i could eat them #i would also love to try crab or lobster bc everyone talks abt how good it is #i just dont think its fair that someone who loves food and cooking as much as i do has so many things i cant eat #bc ive been told i make amazing salmon filets but I WOULDNT FUCKIN KNOW NOW WOULD I

last night i got home kind of tipsy and very much in tears and my mother told me the force you exert to keep someone in your life is proportional to the force with which they will leave your life. if you have to fight tooth and claw to keep them, their leaving will be just as hard, just as harsh, and just as definite.

#she said it like a law. its just momentum. #also she told me to get a therapist and start archery ASAP bc i need to get it together #and also she said even granting that this person u were in love w was So Special . as in hot motorcycle-riding iranian masc lesbian in ldn #they arent the only one on earth and that once i start my proper adult life outside of studies etc etc i will probably no longer live in th #UK. she said most non straight iranians u would like have left the country anyway . where do you think they went? theyre out there #and also she asked me to imagine how many hot gay iranians there may be in italy or amsterdam or smth and i was like ok points 😭 maybe #ur right. anyway i was having a feeling of dread bc crying into the arms of ur strict asian mother while buzzed usually results in #death chaos destruction etc in the next few days but actually i think maybe she has genuinely changed as a person and the fear is #unwarranted #anyway i need to eat breakfast and study w the date person i met yesterday #they are so nice ??? genuinely so so sweet i dont feel attracted to them at all omg i genuinely think i have a thing for hot evil ppl 😭 #but we could b besties . theyre a lot more romantic than the ex situationship person too like generally . ugh they should be perfect but #alas it appears i am shallow as fuck or potentially a lesbian actually #OH THEY MIGHT ALSO BE POTENTIALLY A LESBIAN BTW #i think i just tend to not date cis ppl entirely by accident #....feel free to rb if u want btw sorry for the rant

The "Can I be a king's councillor and build castles" to "Lady of Winterfell and helping to rebuild the North after the Long Night" pipeline is real

#arya stark #asoiaf #I do think Arya would make an amazing councillor + it fits and prob the biggest thing that makes me think she won't #is that she directly states she wants to be that and that feels a little on the nose even for George #it could still be an in-universe subversion though since it isn't considered a typical thing for a Lady to be #but she /could/ also be one for a time by being on King in the North!Jon's council 🤩 #I would also give my left kidney for Queen Dany with Arya on her council but I'm not lucky enough to get that 😔 #King!Rickon with Arya as his council would also eat too though #so many options and I would love them all as long as Arya isn't reduced to serving another character and she gets her own agency #Thank God George loves her character and would never downplay her like that

I wish the ultimatum had a period where the couples go to therapy

#because marriage is a HUGE step and you shouldn’t take it lightly and sometimes I feel like they get caught up in the moment they don’t thin #of the future. specially if it means raising kids and everything that’s a huge commitment and I el like a therapist could be a great way to #help them shape the path they are looking for #they don’t even have to show it on camera just…. let them go to therapy and talk about how it helped #but netflix and reality shows don’t really give a shit about these people so that would never happen 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ #AnYways Chile Mal and Sam my beloved they have not done anything wrong ever my beloveds #this is so messy bro I eat this shit up #the ultimatum queer love #the ultimatum

Its been a while since I updated this little project but heres the dealio. I got "mysteriously" sick for the last 2 months and it kinda halted my work on getting this thing physically printed. BUT IM BACK and ready to start this up again. I'm really hoping i get everything done by Jan. or very latest feb (mostly anticipating for holiday slow down)

In the meantime i got a few questions on my interest check asking if i would offer a digital version of the zine. and the answer 2 months late is YES I WILL YOU CAN GET IT NOW ACTUALLY ON MY GUMROAD OR KO-FI HURRRAYYYYYY!!!! 🥳🥳 GO CHECK IT OUT ITS $3

I've drawn Loop Goop before but not my actual capital h Headcanons so. Here's how Loop bleeds in my mind

#codacheetah #my art #isat #in stars and time #isat loop #cw blood #cw injury #warning for ig more explicitly gory thinking in the rest of the tags ---> #i just think it's inchresting to think about.... does loop even have organs? #im on team 'miscellaneous goop and flesh in the vague shape of a body system. like if u stuck ur hand in their star and pushed through #(which is something you could totally do. with some resistance) #you could feel around up in there and there'd be noticable masses but none of them would be fully developed as organs. like theyd be kinda #liquefied and only loosely connected to each other. #loop doesn't actually NEED to sleep or breathe and they can't eat but they are capable of circulating air around in there and theyll go nut #like mentally if they dont sleep. but if pressed they dont actually have any inescapable bodily needs. #even in terms of injury they'd be kinda hard to kill since none of their 'organs' actually do anything. it'd just be a game of waiting for #them to either empty out or go catatonic from pain #um. anyways. sorry to keep afflicting you with random injuries for the sake of experimentation loop

A few silly little small sculptures that I made with some of the leftover clay from the main one I did recently

#sculpture #birds #neopets #sparkly little aishas my beloved..... #Though I actually kind of liked them with a matte finish more?? I wanted to try out making them sparkly and shiny..but #I think they might have looked better before adding all the shine. BUT I kind of like both. Maybe I should make two more that aren't shiny #just to have variation lol... an entire army of tiny aishas..... #The little house is so bad lol I hada headache at that point and kind of just wanted to get everything over with #(I bake the clay all at once so I had to get the smaller ones done to go with the main one) #and was like.. zero effort into making things line up or measuring at all. one window on one side is like twice as big as on the other lol #but I think from afar ifnot examined too closely it's still kind of cute. The birds were also just random like 'what can I shape out of thi #s small blob of clay I have leftover' etc. I did actually put irridescent eyeshaow on the pigeon but it just doesnt show up in photos ToT #The other bird is not anything in specific... some sort of random fantasy creature bird with slight purple on it's wings or something #The strawberry is exclusively just a quickly done accessory for the birds.. I wanted them to have a little meal to share #even though I dont know if birds eat strawberries #the last picture in the set is them all sitting on a shelf (the most well lit place I could find) but looks weird #since it has all of my avocado pit eyes in the background......... ominous backdrop for such peaceful little creachures.. #you kind of cant tell what they are from that angle though i guess lol

my least favourite thing from the watcher discourse has been people saying “WE never asked for higher quality” or “your most popular shows are where you just sit around and talk!!” - babes its likely not what THEY want to do for the rest of eternity lol. they’re allowed to want to grow as creatives and make things they are proud of?

#like i absolutely didn’t agree with their move to a paid model platform but this response isn’t the criticism u think it is #that and also the continious shit i saw about steven owning a tesla #like babes its HIS money? he’s allowed nice things and upgrades in his life lol? #AND the stuff about them making 100k from patreon with eat the rich comments #100k per month likely doesn’t cover all operating costs like you guys r thinking it does #they likely didn’t want to keep doing ad reads that interrupted their content structure and how they THEMSELVES percieved its value #as a former business major tho i def think even a little bit of market research could have stopped this lol #respectfully no one wants to pay for another thing #and the communication on it was unfortunately shit #but its not that big of a mistake that we tear em down like this #watcher #ryan bergara #shane madej #steven lim

torn between wanting to make all my ocs Specialest Little Guys and overpowered VS. the fact I just finished watching all three extended editions of Lord of the Rings and am deeply moved by the struggles and worth of the common man

#ramblings #the end of Return of the King gave me many OC Thoughts and now you're going to hear them #might veto the whole 'Funney Big Weapon Guy is also psychic' thing for Sid Sibyl #won't fully un-magic him just cuz i made it a common thing in the setting but like. i might still nerf him a little in that aspect #his whole schtick is that he is aggressively Just A Guy #he's very persistent. won't come back from a job until he found the last crate that fell off the merchant's wagon or whatever #very good at sword-fighting. cuz he trains and spars a lot and eats like a furnace to keep up his strength #his 'high pain tolerance' is something im self-inserting where i won't notice injuries until later. a bit oblivious. just keeps on truckin #an altogether formidable combo but. he is so much Just A Guy #no super strength no immunities no super-charged magic. not even a cursed weapon to give him a leg up #he finally visits his home again and it's confusing why it's not the same as he remembers it- #-when he should have much more in common with old neighbors and vendors at the market than with his cosmically superpowered friends #old sights and sounds and some friends that give him a warm welcome-back but... it's not the same. it's not home. not anymore #from the moment he chose his path he could never go back home #and I feel like the tragedy of that would be undercut if i gave him something like future-vision or a magical sword

[imthursdaysyme]

I feel like the kids in st would have simple small answers for “what do you want to do in the future” bc subconsciously or not they don’t think they’ll survive, I think Lucas would answer and say oh I want to be a camp counselor one summer and his dad is like….I meant a job son

#lucas sinclair #i love him #and i think they would all do this more unconsciously like oh id like to learn how to drive #and thier parents are like what? drive? we meant like goals you have #and they are like yeah #driving is a goal maybe even getting a job or you know i was really hoping i could one day have a party with my friends at the lake #and slowly all the parents are realizing they don't think theyll live past 16/18 and are like wtf happened #i think the parents slowly picking up that their kids have massive amounts of trauma in small ways is so important #bc listen some of them have good parents and parents will pick up on that shift in them #i want ms henderson to be so concerned why her son is suddenly freaking out if he hasn't talked to all his friends that day #or confused why he suddenly doesn't eat certain foods anymore (they were the last thing he ate before upside down adventures) #like all that #very important okay

god. something about samfro is so…

#idk. something ab the fact that Sam is a gardener and a cook. or at least enjoys/is good at cooking. #like…. the implications. the fact that out of all the companions you could have chosen to accompany our frail sad protagonist #into a harsh grey land with no joy and no light or warmth #the fact that Sam cooks for him?? for both of them?! #the fact that he kept soices in his pocket and carried it all that way?? just in case they were having a roast chicken one night!!! #(​*spices) #the way he makes sure Frodo always gets enough food and drink. that he always gets enough to eat. even when Frodo is so weak and tired #like!! theyre in the middle of a wasteland so far from home but Samwise Gamgee is cooking him a hot meal and filling his belly with soup!! #it’s SO fucking tender and SO fucking special to me #I love Sam so much and I love those gay little hobbits #do you remember the taste of strawberries…. #samfro #samwise gamgee #frodo baggins #lotr #oh btw Vee if ur seeing this. this was unfinished in my drafts but I decided to complete my thoughts and post it right now just for u #I wanted to make you feel insane hope u enjoy

I like a good stocky Aaron too

[bonefall]

Hi Bones!! Thank you for you hard work on this project and for sharing it with us!

I've seen your posts about weird representation of society (regarding the "natural order of things") in xenofiction, especially in lion king, so I wanted to ask:

could you recommend any xenofiction media that has all (or most of the) animal species sapient? Or is the only solution to make just one or two species sapient while the others (especially prey) are plain animals?

Really sorry if you've seen this ask from me before - my account had a weird laggy period when I couldn't send or receive messages and asks, so I don't know if you got the previous one! I just know that now it's fixed so I double all the asks sent haha

Honestly I'm not totally sure! If any 3rd person has some good recommendations for "every being is alive" xenofiction types, feel free to weigh in.

If you want to jump in with me though, I am following the webcomic Africa. It updates every Wednesday. Africa is about a mother Leopard on the verge of a great ecological disaster, the relationship between her children and the animals around her, and the strength of both instinct and choice as the characters face an uncertain future.

Since it's ongoing, I still don't know how it's going to end and can't judge it as a full work! But it's absolutely fascinating and I think the author is doing a fantastic job so far. Bonus points for the way it portrays humans, btw.

No more spoilers though, if you're interested, it's on Webtoons.

(I'm also planning to read Oren's Forge soon. Ask me about it again in a few months over on Bonebabbles and I'll give you my thoughts)

As an aside though, funny you mention it because like... ever since I was a kid I've had a story I want to tell with the premise. It's a scintilla I've kept close to me for well over a decade but haven't done anything official with. So this is actually a theme I've thought about a lot.

It's rare to see it done well though because like... its very premise butts heads with reality. The "natural order" that an animal follows is not something it moralizes. A tiger doesn't have the capacity to think about how fucked up it is to kill to stay alive, the deer doesn't know that if its population isn't controlled it will destroy the forest.

They're animals. They don't HAVE that agency. Your dog does not care about being sterilized. A snake doesn't differentiate between a pinky and an adult mouse except in terms of if it will fit in its mouth. But the minute you put human morality in there... they have the ability to reason, create and agree on the rules of a society, make choices about MORALITY.

If nothing is going to change about their world, you just end up putting human arguments about "natural order" in their mouths and, well... start telling a parable justifying this "natural order."

(Genuine) Does what I'm saying make sense? Animals DON'T rationalize or negotiate. HUMANS do.

So the minute you're approaching a world with that logic, like it or not, you are invoking those "arguments from nature." And you're putting them in a being that is not fully an animal or a human, but an anthropomorphic mix which CAN rationalize but WON'T make an effort to change their world.

(Which is why tbh the best examples i know of are works with a theme of "change.")

OH WAIT I also remember another that's interesting!! Leafy: Hen into the Wild actually has a fascinating take on it. It's not interested in "moralizing" or really being about an animal society. It's a very emotional sort of movie, and it's about joys in adversity, the freedom that choice gives you, how bad things are going to happen and you can never completely prevent them.

INTENSE movie emotionally, the ending will wreck you (especially in the English translation which leaves out a really important theme making it feel abrupt x_x) but it's really good. Check that one out.

OH and also You Are Umasou. That one has more pitfalls imo (it does try to moralize a bit) but it's super unique as a movie. And is about dinosaurs.

#Don't take my opinions as gospel tho #There's no ONE RIGHT WAY to tell a story or handle a theme #And every person can have a unique reading of any story #Some stories can even be interpreted super differently by going in with different readings #Media isn't a box you take the lid off of to loot for objectively correct objects #It's more like eating a meal #Examining ingredients/tropes and how they were used #Trying to identify what the author set out to do and if it accomplished it in its current form #And sometimes idk chicken noodle tastes like hot saltwater in one moment but then hits different 2 months later when surrounding-- #--circumstances (like being sick or cold) make it hit different #Point im getting at is that we could objectively say 'they used chicken and noodle' in this dish #But analysis and opinions and expressing them are an art of their own #Bone babble #Anyway prolly gonna be quiet the rest of the day so I can do clanmew prep lads #Media analysis #Xenofiction
