(context: Olio Cuore is an Italian brand of oil that since the 80s features the main character / testimonial for its commercial jumping over a fence as sort of like demonstrating that brand of oil is healthy so you're athletic and stuff. This became so iconic that people keep using "the olio cuore jump / jumping olio cuore style" to refer to that specific action)
(The commercial, if you're curious about this bit of Italian pop culture:)
I just had a dream where i went to a mcr concert and gerard said, in their sweet little voice, exactly this: "i got asked to be the judge of america's next top model so many times. and when i finally accepted, they kicked me out. they told me: you know what youre talking about, but youre such a pretentious prick" and everyone laughed
i was googling a (comic) reference of vathek for a project bc i’m too lazy to get up and take my comics, and google images revealed to me his cartoon version - man how badass he looks
Bro. I headcanon that Roberto can speak Spanish(even I don't know if they even speak anymore earth languages).
Now imagine that he speaks dirty talk in spanish to Meryl when they do the devils tango, but not only is just dirty talk, but also love confessions like, how grateful he is that Meryl is in his life and he will never regret meeting her. Meryl, sweet little Meryl doesn't understand anything, but is red like a tomato, because Roberto got that deep sexy smoker voice.
I would say that the United States, as of right now, has three main food groups (aside from junk food) and those are, Italian, Mexican, and Chinese. All of which have been Americanized here to some extent but differently in different parts of the country. I find this very funny because I have heard people from Italy be indignant about what we’ve done with the stuff (and about good restaurants too!) like, sorry if you guys weren’t creative, mixing things up a bit is great. “What about (regionally popular food)?!” I know we all have those, I haven’t heard of bitches in the south eating lefse, but that’s not my point! What was my point actually? I think I was going to say that, even if we bastardize stuff a lot, I’m super glad we have, as a country, agreed that more seasoning is good. Because if this place had been like “fuck immigrant food forever, we are eating British style” I think I would die.
This country has historically treated immigrants like shit, but we do tend to cave eventually and go like “actually,
your food is really good” a kind of shallow prize I guess, but I’m glad we actually start doing it eventually because I WILL mock British food and I WILL be sad that the only good family recipes my family has from before immigrating are all desserts. Don’t get me wrong, I love sweets, but I’m pretty sure there is a reason we stopped making other stuff
Wait, I re-read this today and realized I sound like my family is British. We are not. What even are British desserts? I bet they don’t have enough cardamom. Although lefse doesn’t have cardamom and i like a lot of things without it, my point is that their holiday and special event foods probably don’t have enough! Which wouldn’t surprise me tbh because apparently the only place that went crazy for the stuff outside of where it originated seems to have been Scandinavia for some reason. At least some maps I looked at seemed to suggest it. Which rocked me to my core
