#now i want some orville popcorn

[yuan4i]

05. salty lips

"lynetteee! scara and i brought some microwave popcorn for the movie!" you said, handing her the box of orville redenbacher microwave popcorn. thanks; my brother’s currently out with his friends, so there won’t be any disturbances." she said, taking the box and gesturing for you and scaramouche to sit on the couch. "what movie should we start with?" "spirited away!! it’s scara’s favorite!" you beamed. "we watched it several times still; we always end up crying haha-" before you could finish, your boyfriend interrupted you by shoving popcorn in your mouth. "just… shut up and watch the movie, he said, looking away, flustered. 

[11:30 "it’s almost night. leave before it gets dark."] "ngh, haku’s so hot." "yn, i’m literally right here."

[49:24 "but it’s strange. i remembered yours… go ahead, eat, you must be hungry."] "THE WAY THAT HAKU SPOKE TO CHIRIO AAAH!! i want a man like that, you gushed. "i talk to you that way…" your boyfriend pouted. every time you two watch this movie, you always fan about haku. "not gonna lie, scara, you kind of do sound like haku." lynette said. "omg yeah!! he totally does!" 

[1:22:04 haku! stop, go away! scrat scrat! haku! it’s you, right?"]  "uwahhh chihiro’s so cute... her running to haku makes my heart melt." you sighed. "yeah, HAKU and CHIHIRO are basically canon. they like EACH OTHER." scaramouche reminded you. "sheesh, you didn’t need to break my heart like that…" "wait, i thought haku and chihiro were siblings…" "WAIT THEY ARE?? LYNETTE EXPLAIN?" 

[1:58:38 "can we meet again?" "i’m sure." "promise?" "promise."]  "this part always gets me…" you started tearing up. "haku promised her…" your boyfriend started to get emotional too. "i’ll get the tissues…" 

after you and scaramouche finished crying, you three made a new batch of popcorn. "howl’s moving castel next? i think you two will feel better by the end of it…" lynette suggested picking up the remote. truthfully, neither you nor scaramouche have watched howl’s moving castle yet. you two were planning on watching it last week, but you two got busy, and then when you both were free, an argument between you two struck. "yeah, let’s watch it." your boyfriend agreed. 

[7:02 "that’s my girl."] "he’s like... really hot… but yn, don’t even. i know what you’re going to say." the indigo-haired male said before you could say anything. how could you not though? this hot, flirty blonde appeared on the screen, and he even had a soothing voice! "he’s everything, scara, you don’t under-" "lynette! i’m home! and why does it smell like popcorn?" the front door opened, revealing lynette’s brother, lyney. 

"oh! i didn’t expect there to be guests over at our dorm.” lyney introduced himself to you and scaramouche. "welcome home, lyney... how come you’re home so early? i thought you had plans with your friends…?" lynette asked, pausing the movie. "aether had to go early because he was getting tutored or something, so we all decided to go home... anyways, what are you guys watching?" 

now, you four were sitting on the couch. four of you squished together with you, and lynette jammed in the middle. scara beside you, and lyney on the other side of the couch, beside lynette. "howl’s so charming, you said. "haha, yn, you must really like him?" lyney asked you. "yeah! he’s so kind. not to mention, he looks great with both blonde and black hair." lyney smiled at your response; he loved seeing you happy and hearing you talk. in fact, the sound of your voice soothed him. scaramouche eyed you and lyney’s interactions, then suddenly clung onto you. "ynnnn, i’m getting sleepy... wake me up when the movie’s done, okay?" he asked, yawning, then placed a gentle kiss on your lips. his lips were soft but salty from the popcorn, and you couldn’t remember the last time you two kissed. "yeah! sure, night night, scara, see you soon." you cooed as he leaned onto you.

Pretty sure I dated her in college. Though I don't think "date" was the right word, it was more that she'd come over to hang out and watch movies and stuff but more just wanted to sit in the chair in the corner and not be close to being touched.

When I'd make popcorn, I'd put it in a separate bowl for her. I started adding different things to the popcorn, like garlic, or pepper, or parmesan shake-cheese. I didn't let on that they were different.

One night, she finished her bowl, and asked me if there was any more. It was the cheese-and-butter combo. I made more, but I put it in a single bowl between us.

After that, I only made one bowl that we shared. We were very careful not to reach into the bowl at the same time, but after a while, we stopped watching, and while I had my hand in the bowl grabbing some more, she reached in and touched the back of my hand.

She jolted back like she had been shocked, and I tried to calm her, and let her know it was okay, that she could touch me, no harm, no foul.

I didn't see her for a couple of days, but she showed up at my door on evening with a box of Orville Redenbacher and some shake-cheese and a little plastic bottle of cinnamon.

I let her make the popcorn. She came out from the kitchen, and instead of sitting in her usual chair, she sat on the couch, putting the bowl between us.

The popcorn was pretty bad, way too much cinnamon. I choked it down, but I'm pretty sure she noticed that I wasn't as enthusiastic as she wanted me to be.

I didn't see her for several days after that.

One night, I got a knock at the door. I though she had come back, but when I opened the door, there was only a small paper bag. I brought it inside and opened it.

She had made a sculpture out of the bones of a small animal, or what I think must have been several small animals. I'd like to think that they were chicken bones, but some of them were definitely not, and I didn't wan to consider what they were.

It was beautiful, and elaborate, and baroque, but at the time I was kind of horrified and afraid of what she might do.

I threw it in the trash.

I never saw her again.

Once in a while, I'd find stray animal bones on my car, or in the mailbox. Still do, though I'm pretty sure now they're just random leavings from the critters that dig in the trash bins and need to hide to eat in comfort, and leave the rest.

She never told me her name.

It's a global FB link, that doesn't display properly, but I tested it.

Wellness Wednesday:

Cleaning Out My Closet Fridge

Part of my wellness journey is working on my financial wellness - What are my spending habits? What can I do differently? What can I cut out?

Couple weeks ago I challenged myself to use up as much as groceries/pantry supplies before buying more groceries - maybe meal prep here and there.

Well, I've been doing good on clearing out the freezer - working on the fridge and pantry now.

I noticed I had an abundance of deli meat and breads laying around - so - I was very conscious about eating up those foods first before they went bad.

To be honest I was little more conscious this week because not too long ago I had entire loaf of bread get moldy and I just despise when that happens.

So - I at a ton of sammies this week. Really spiced it up by changing my breads, meats, and cheeses - never got boring.

Other added benefit - I saw significant drop on my weekly grocery bill. A practice I want to entertain more in the future.

Another step to help out my pocket book is I made the decision not to buy any more expensive nuts - aka - my Wonderful's Pistachios. I am going to see if I can find a more cost effective snack alternative... Plus, I still have plenty to finish off in my cabinets.

Beyond my wallet and weekly diet - I broke the 2 week plateau streak and hit some weight loss (slightly over 4 pounds). Felt good considering I didn't do anything besides partake in some extra deli meats.

Sleep-wise - man-oh-man - I need to sleep. I hate how this is a constant battle.

Socially - saw some fam - good times/stories/jokes - and - tomorrow I plan on seeing some good friends at the movies... and hope to enjoy said movies.

Tickletober Day 19: Revenge - (Switch Mr. Hippo, Switch Orville.)

Summary: During one of Mr. Hippo’s speeches, he remembers some trickery bestowed upon him and decides to take his revenge. Their captive audience member is amused.

...

"So you see, there I was..." Mr Hippo drawled in his usual way. "Out there on a picnic with Orville, when suddenly Orville pointed to something in the sky. I followed his finger and I saw it was a simple Blue Jay. Yeah, it was quite pretty. I could look at it all day... But you see, I was in the middle of eating a sandwich. And when I looked back into my hands, the sandwich was gone!" He said, recounting his surprise.

I noticed that him walk over to the prize counter and drag Orville back into the office. Orville looked a little nervous. Knowing what was about to happen, I smirked. Well, as long as I was here, I may as well be entertained!

Mr. Hippo grinned at Orville. "Right. You remember that Orville, don't you...?" His fingers fluttered slightly at his sides. Orville jumped, refusing to let out a sound. "Oh, don't you know...? Orville's very ticklish. You should have seen him that Sunday when we went bowling. After a losing streak, I wanted to find a way to cheer him up. I playfully poked him, and imagine my reaction when he yelped and jumped ten feet in the air! The rest is history.”

I chuckled to myself. These two would never get old.

"EEEEEEEEE! HEEHEHEEHEHEHEEAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAA!" Orville shrieked as Mr. Hippo got his underarms. "NOHOHOHOOT THEEHEHEHEHERE!!!"

"Heh-heh. He's got you now!" I teased in a low tone.

"NOHHOHOHOOHOOOOOOOOOHOOOO!" Orville whined, laughing and thrashing in his friend's grip.

"Oh, just try to turn the tables Orville! You know I'm barely ticklish!" Mr. Hippo chuckled.

"Oh yes...? But you're still ticklish somewhere!" He shot back, reaching and tickling in any place he could reach. Trying his ribs, sides, and underarms.

"Heheheheehee! Nice try, Orville!" Mr. Hippo smiled, getting Orville's belly.

"EEHEEHEHEHHEEEHEE! NOHOHO FAIHIHIHIIHIHIR!"

Suddenly Orville brushed his fingers along his neck and Mr. Hippo squeaked. "EHEHEHEEHEHEHHEHEHEEEEEE!! WAHAHHAHAAHAIT!"

"I’ve found your weak spot!" Orville chuckled, and continued brushing his fingers along his neck. "Now let's see: where else might you be ticklish? Perhaps... Your belly? Or your hips? Or your feet?"

As he tickled every spot he mentioned, Mr. Hippo laughed, the dam already broken. It was impossible to tell how sensitive those areas really were.

"HEHEEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEE! COHOHOOHME OHOHOHOOHON OHOHOHOHRVILLE!"

Watching the two silly robots, I laughed and sat back in my chair, munching on the provided popcorn. While this would be a long eternity, I made sure to cherish any and all breaks I could get.

so Stan is under duress

And they found John remoulard issuing threats on him and they are going after him and they're going after him hard these people are screwed up but that guy is a nut. We have a count of how many times each person went by when he was on the bench facing the resort which is a complete mess now and John remillard is of course number one and let's just say 11 the next one is his son and about 9:00 and other people were at 8:00 they're two of them and three sevens 10 fives 16 and so on but really A lot of people came by a lot of time some of them were more than him and they're beating him out and he is waylaid and he is held in court and he is losing the court case and we of course wanted to and he's losing everything else we're screwed it's a preemptive thing it's a preamble and we say it's a preamble for you in a way it is for the max and they are losing in a similar fashion and foreigners are trying to save to both or all three really and we don't care for your stuff at all and we don't care for the max or foreigners and you're doing each other in with this stupid routine and he's an a****** really and he is actually not understanding what we're saying now he doesn't know if the max are in charge well he can't figure it out so he doesn't know what's going on and it's a problem. We have a way of getting the vehicle to my husband and Lily and Ronald are coming from the same cloth they're losers now and spent and Sherry is high performance vehicle specialist for those of you VW is not that high performance. This is Eddie Murphy would save it fits what he would need and it fits what he needs. He is in a state of hell and doesn't know he's in hell I keep saying that he is doing this court case and purpose and and the max really they have to listen and they do hear it they said and they do believe it and the guy just will not shut his pie hole so he's going to go down and we believe earlier than we think and there is some proof. There is this statement that people made about him and wanted to stop and but really the max want to hit him while he still has people and he's got less ships and he has less stuff almost nothing coming up in the next couple days and him dying would be worthless after you even just a week so they're looking at that

Hera

Zues

I do understand something I'm going to go down and doing absolutely nothing it's preferable but not really have a lot of plans but it looks like it might even out up there I might grab the ships and take it over for a Time and build a laser and threaten people with poison and finally Tommy Africa's sound and that probably happens he says it sounds more accurate and I'm telling him to shut his mouth and says I'm afraid that you are mistaken completely now in the past we had a lot of power we do things surreptitiously but now it's horrible when you're saying is you don't care if you're a jiffy Pop or something and so I get what he's saying it's really Orville redenbacher's microwave popcorn or and I'm starting to follow something I have to get out of here you really really too and yet you have to stay out okay the last time you were here you got beaten like a dog everyday you have like a TBI and that you want to come back and you got a dog again and you just act like you didn't and everybody wants you out and stupid granted I don't know if anybody who can sit there and not know that they were going to hit and stuff so that was him and I sort of feel bad about that other people are doing it and I keep blaming him and they keep doing it

Trump

Account that you got hit nine times this week with a bullet in five times in the head Trump

Mac daddy

Is squatting that apartment we need you out of there you're not doing anything for your people or yourself you keep explaining it now you're going to attack us and we're going to get you out

Stan

I think I'm going to get him the car and I have a way to do it it's called take over the area and get rid of all that s*** bags as they come in and have to be careful because they want the car intact as part of their plan and let them drive down and it's not possible so what we're saying is we move our stuff down using the car

apparently potcrack had another son in one continuity, named orville mcduck?? and orville was an outlaw in a gang in the american wild west after leaving scotland. how do you think his father potcrack and brothers titus, quagmire, and gummo felt about this, if they even knew? or did he just cut contact entirely after becoming an outlaw? how would seafoam and whitmore have felt about this? (in either the immortal!mcducks AU or watching over them all as ghosts)

The name Orville made me immediately assume that he went on to establish a very successful popcorn company later in life. He had some bad run-ins with the law in his wild west days and decided to hang up his cowboy hat for more honest work. He starts a corn farm! He spends years perfecting the perfect hybrid corn that makes the most delicious popcorn imaginable. He revolutionizes the market, and his popcorn becomes one of the most iconic brands in the duckverse. 

His family probably doesn’t hear wind of him until he makes it big as a popcorn mogul and they happen upon an article about him in the paper. They contact him to meet up after all their years apart. It’s awkward at first, especially since Orville feels the need to confess all his past misdeeds to his family, but eventually they get to know him, and he becomes part of the family. He always smells like popcorn however. Even if he’s just gotten out of the shower. He still smells like popcorn??

[thekingslover]

Cas wants to get a job, and Dean’s okay with that. Let him go out and have the whole human experience. He’d go crazy, anyway, just sitting around the bunker, especially having lost all his angel mojo.

They fall into a routine quickly.

Dean wakes up early to make Cas a bagged lunch. He kisses his cheek when he leaves and opens his arms for a hug when he returns. It’s all very domestic. Almost normal. You know, except for the occasional hunt now and then.

But then Cas comes home with a black eye.

Dean’s arms, which he’d held open at the sound of the door, fall flat to his sides. His skin grows cold. His insides start to rumble, louder and louder, until he can’t hear anything but the thunder of his own rage and his voice as he demands, “Give me a name.”

He goes for his jacket, throws it on. He pats down the pockets. There’s a knife, somewhere. A switchblade is all he’ll need.

“Dean,” Cas says, insistent, like he’s been saying it for a while. He takes Dean by the shoulders and holds him steady. He isn’t an angel anymore, Dean could easily break the hold. But he doesn’t. Wouldn’t. Cas’s angel strength was never what stopped him.

“A name, Cas.”

Cas looks at him flatly, like he so often does when he thinks Dean is being an idiot. “Orville Redenbacher.”

Dean pauses. He blinks. “The popcorn guy?” Some of his anger fizzles, and confusion replaces it. He died, didn’t he? And what would he be doing in a small Kansas town? Dean swallows. “Should I get the salt?”

Cas rolls his eyes, then winces. Reaching up, he gingerly presses a fingertip to the edge of the bruise. “It was an accident.”

Dean stands tense, torn between action and comfort. Confusion lingers, as does the need to punch and/or stab something.

Cas looks down. He sighs and his shoulders slump. “Human bodies are so... clumsy.”

“Wait.” The pieces are starting to click together. Maybe Dean doesn’t have to fight a popcorn ghost after all. “You... tripped?”

Cas shrugs helplessly, dodging Dean’s gaze. Dean lowers his head, trying to get into Cas’s line of sight. When Cas does finally look at him again, he’s frowning miserably, face heavy with embarrassment.

“I was stocking the popcorn. My shoe was untied,” Cas says. “I forgot... that shoes need tying.”

The last of Dean’s anger melts away. Clarity replaces it, and fondness. Cas tries so hard, every day. He was once a great warrior angel, now a feeble, fragile, regular human. To be brought low by a single shoelace...

Dean holds open his arms once more. “Bring it in, Cas.”

Cas goes eagerly, folding neatly in the safe expanse of Dean’s arms.

“Long day, huh?”

Cas nods against his shoulder. “It hurts.”

“Come on, then.” Dean leads Cas into the kitchen for a bag of ice. He presses a bag of frozen peas to Cas’s eye and kisses the opposite cheek. “Better?”

Cas nods, minutely. He glances at Dean with his uncovered eye. “Are you okay?”

“I didn’t get to first base with a metal shelf, if that’s what you’re asking,” Dean says, offering humor as a way out. They don’t have to talk about this. They don’t have to talk about anything.

Cas doesn’t take the bait. “You were angry.”

Dean crosses his arms. He isn’t good at this part - talking about feelings. But they’ve been working on it, since they got together. Cas can’t read his soul anymore. Dean has to use words.

“I thought someone had hurt you,” Dean says. “It... I don’t...” He drags a hand down his face. “Not a great feeling, okay?”

“Are you okay?” Cas asks again, gently.

Dean lets his hand fall away. Instead, he reaches out and takes Cas’s. He laces their fingers together. “Yeah.” He checks the swelling around Cas’s eye. “That’s going to sting like a son of a bitch tomorrow.”

This time, Cas lets him change the subject. “It hurts now.”

“Just wait,” Dean says.

Later, he’ll hold Cas in the dark of their bedroom. He’ll pepper kisses along Cas’s neck and shoulder and admit, “It scares me to see you hurt.”

In the light of day, the words are harder to voice, so he swallows them. He presses the ice back against Cas’s skin and offers, “I can beat up the shelf for you.”

Cas’s lips twitch, an almost smile, and he shakes his head. He points to his cheek, a wordless ask for another kiss, that Dean quickly provides.

It’s good enough for now.

I used to read more but I don't read as much now- I'm trying to be more intentional and I've read more than last year already. I think my favorite book is still The Phantom Tollbooth- it's just very near to my heart. I think I read it in 1st or 2nd grade for the first time? And I was really proud of myself. I've reread it dozens of times.

I think the only book I've reread close to that much is Squashed, a pulp coming of age book about a girl who grows giant pumpkins.

41. top 10 favorite songs

... how much time do you have

CURRENTLY and subject to change my top 10 is as follows (not ordered because I find that impossible):

At My Place (Dae Zhen), Bambi (Hippo Campus), Heatwaves Shakur Ahmad Remix (Glass Animals and Shakur Ahmad), Make It Hurt (SUGR?), Catwalk (RuPaul LOOK I KNOW OK. I KNOW. BUT JUST LISTEN TO IT), Make It Better (Anderson .Paak ft. Smokey Robinson), Born This Way (But the Orville Peck cover), Vienna (Billy Joel), Good Grief - Don Diablo Remix (Bastille, Don Diablo), Hurricane (I Prevail).

This list will be different in 10 minutes.

43. what is your skin type? (oily, dry, etc)

Maybe a little dry? I don't have a lot of skin issues actually so maybe none of the above?

47. what type of house do you live in? (big, small, etc) 

I live in an apartment because the housing market is in shambles

53. opinion on smoking?

Listen. Smokers taste bad to kiss. But other than that like. Your body your rules. Also, smoking what? tobacco? weed? vaping? vast sea of options here.

On the whole, neutral bad. But there are worse things you can do to your body and it's not a deal breaker

59. do you smile for pictures?

Almost instinctively despite the fact I think I look better looking somewhat serious

61. have you ever peed in the woods? 

Yes, and I find it somewhat weird if you haven't, unless you've never been IN the woods. This was a weird question finally

67. what are your hobbies?

researching games I never intend to play, MTG, Strategy games, crossword puzzles, biking, and going to museums.

71. tea or coffee?

Coffee. Iced Tea is cool tho. Unsweet.

73. do you want to get married?

Yes, like embarassingly badly. The idea of marrying someone is so appealing to me and I won't apologize

79. do you believe in ghosts?

YES AND THEY FREAK ME OUT. THEY ARE REAL AND THEY ARE UNSETTLING AND I DO NOT LIKE IT

83. regular oreos or golden oreos? 

Regular oreos and it's not close. Golden oreos suck imo. If you like them go for it tho!

89. do you like your neighbors? 

If you mean the people who live in my building who I know, then yes! If you mean my next door neighbors, I knew them at our old apartment but haven't run into them in this one. That said most people I've met in the building are lovely.

97. dark, milk, or white chocolate? 

I'm not a big sweets person and I like bitter flavors, so dark chocolate for me!

how I lost 20 lbs in 2 months

Disclaimer: This is what worked for me! I’m obviously not a dietician or fitness instructor. Attempt all of this at your own risk.

Do you feel like you’re doomed to weigh the same forever? Do you feel out of control while eating sometimes? Do you want to cry when looking in the mirror? I felt the exact same way before developing healthy eating habits and an exercise routine over the summer. I’m 5′7 and weighed 136 lbs from the time I was like 10 all the way up to 17. I got a job at a shitty fast food restaurant in high school, stopped playing sports and got all the way up to 190. Went to college, got slightly more active, and stayed at 185ish for about 4 years. 

I started this being not active whatsoever and ate whatever was around. Now I’m 160 - only another 10 lbs from my goal weight. I took about a two month break of actively trying to lose weight due to school starting up again (final semester of college thank god) but I’m heading back to the gym tomorrow to start it up again.

So basically I’m gonna drop what I ate a variation of every single day and my exercise routine and some tips. 

Part I - Food

Food will make or break a healthy lifestyle. One unhealthy meal won’t make you fat, but one healthy meal won’t make you skinny. The key is to have accessible meals that are small and packed with good nutrition to keep you as full as possible. The days where you’ll have the most difficulty with this are days when you’ll forget your breakfast/lunch at home. 

Examples of breakfast...

(1) Jimmy Dean Egg Delights English Muffin - this was a favorite because it’s made with whole grains, turkey sausage and egg whites. These are all healthy and yummy alternatives to fatty regular sausage and unhealthy white bread. 250 calories.

(2) Scrambled eggs and (1) piece of wheat toast - This is what I would buy at work if I forgot my lunch at home. Still nutritional and delicious, but not ideal because of yolks. Also, where’s the fruit? About 260 calories.

(1/2) cup of oatmeal with (1 thicc) tbsp of peanut butter, along with cinnamon and blueberries - Oh man I ate this one for the longest time! The key to eating peanut butter is to stop eating brands like JIF or Skippy. They’re loaded with all kinds of sugar and other ingredients you don’t need. Find peanutbutter (or your favorite nut butter) that has only 2 ingredients: nuts and water. You won’t miss the sugar and it’s way better for you! I gravitated towards Smucker’s Natural Creamy Peanut Butter because it’s less than $4, even though it had some salt in the ingredients as well. About 260 calories.

(1) boiled egg, (1) plum, and (1) oatmeal cookie - Not my favorite to do because it involved baking oatmeal cookies and I am lazy. The oatmeal cookie recipe was basically wheat flour, applesauce, coconut sugar, cinnamon, almond milk, olive oil and baking powder. The whole batch lasted about a week. About 190 calories.

I typically ate breakfast at 9 a.m. every weekday. Every breakfast was accompanied by a big, hot coffee with half and half, or if I was at home, my favorite Nut Pods Original creamer. Coffee is an appetite suppressant and aids with helping someone focus, so drinking that in the morning with a relatively low calorie breakfast was a great way to start the day and help me focus on work until lunch time. I usually get hungry at around 1 - 2 and bust out my lunch. 

Examples of lunch...

(2) pieces of wheat bread with a handful of spinach leaves, 2 pieces of ham, mustard and a cup of unsweetened applesauce on the side. Have water or sparkling water on the side. Easy to make when running out the door because you overslept. About 400 calories.

(2) pieces of sunflower seed bread, (2) pieces of ham, (1) piece of swiss cheese, (1) low fat Babybel Spreadable cheese, handful of cherries. I ate this the longest because it made me feel like a faerie eating various fruits and cheeses with bread in the woods when I was actually sitting in a cubicle. About 350 calories.

After lunch I would stay at work til 5:30/6, then head to the gym and work out. I’ll cover my (simple) workout routine next but I’m going to skip to dinner for now.

Examples of dinner...

Eggroll in a bowl with ground turkey or tofu instead of ground pork/beef is heavenly and guilt-free

Sopa is a Mexican dish my boyfriend’s dad makes pretty often so I decided to take a crack at it. You can truly make this dish however you like it. I added diced chicken, whole wheat pasta spirals, and tons more spices and veggies than the recipe linked did. This stuff is amazing and lasted me like 2 weeks. 

Veggie spaghetti. Heavily inspired by Sarah Hawkinson’s famous spaghetti. I recommend watching her video and adding any types of veggies you think would be best. My tip for staying health-conscious when making spaghetti is to boil a little bit of pasta every meal so I’m not tempted to eat a ton of the protein pasta. 

Rotisserie chicken and fruit. Like I said, I’m extremely lazy and some days after working out I just wanna inhale protein and carbs. 

Bag of popcorn. Not recommended but sometimes the laziness surpasses “rotisserie chicken and fruit” lazy. Orville Redenbacker’s Naturals Lightly Salted popcorn is where it’s at.

Most of my days would end anywhere from 800 - 1000 calories. Coupled with my exercise routine, I was well below my recommended calorie intake. I had tried to stick to the recommended calories for someone my height in the past with no success. This is what worked for me. 

General tips on food...

Only drink unsweetened drinks like water, unsweet tea and sparkling flavored water. Don’t use a lot of sugar in coffee, and make it dairy free if possible. I know I feel like a whale after ingesting dairy and I’m not even lactose intolerant.

Are you on your period and need chocolate asap? Unsweetened dark chocolate bars (70% cacao) and chocolate Halo Top (320 cal for the whole pint - worth it once a month if you’re dying) are your best friends.

If you’re going drinking with friends avoid sweetened drinks like margaritas or heavy drinks like beer. Stick with vodka sodas.

My only snacks were popcorn and fruit and even then I didn’t eat them that much. Get out of the habit of snacking, as well as eating big meals.’

On the weekends I would stray from the meals listed above a little! I would eat the same breakfast, camp out at a cafe and read for about 6 hours and have a lunch of a big mocha latte and 2 macarons, then have a small bowl of pho for dinner. Replacing a good lunch with coffee isn’t ideal, but I made sure not to overeat during dinner time to make up for it! Portion sizes is such a huge thing to be mindful of. Always get a smaller portion than you think you will want, focus on the taste of the food and how your body feels, and you’ll be sure to not overeat. Be content, not full.

Part II - Exercise

I initially started working out because I don’t want to get into the habit so many people have of going to work in an office all day then go home and sitting some more. This was partially easy to do because I worked in an office that had a fully furnished gym so it was easy to just move from the office to the gym at 6 p.m. 

I have generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) so I workout to keep that in check, as well. I’ve found that making my body so exhausted it can’t literally vibrate in anxiety is a good way to make life bearable. 

So here’s the machine’s I use...

Manual treadmill - my absolute FAVORITE machine of all time. Relatively new technology, and absurdly expensive to purchase for a home gym. (They’re like $5k!) The gym had a few and you burn soooo many more calories on this machine versus a traditional electric treadmill, and it doesn’t make my knees ache the way a treadmill does. Be prepared for your calves to burn like Hades for the first few weeks if you take on my exercise schedule.

Elliptical - nothing makes me sweat like a pig more than the elliptical with a cranked up resistance. I always make sure to alternate between propelling myself forward with my arms and my legs to ensure I’m getting a tough workout in.

Stationary bike - the one where you can lean back and pedal away while reading a book. There’s nothing like finishing a stressful day at work, listening to some Stellamara and reading a good book while exercising. This is my favorite machine for non-exercise reasons because I can read for hours and justify it because it’s healthy.

Aaaand that’s about it. I hear conflicting arguments of how weight lifting is better for you and you burn more weight and blah blah blah but I just prefer cardio and these machines worked for me really well.

Here’s what my typical exercise schedule looked like...

Day 1

2 mi on manual treadmill

2 mi on elliptical

Day 2

2 mi on manual treadmill

∞ mi on stationary bike (I don’t keep track because I’m reading but it’s usually upward of 7)

And alternate through every weekday. On average I would burn 500 - 700 calories per day. 

General tips for fitness...

Find something that you can seamlessly incorporate into your daily routine. The goal of working out should, in part, be about incorporating a healthier lifestyle. Working out shouldn’t trigger and “Ugh I gotta workout I guess” mentality because you’re basically guaranteeing yourself to fail later on, especially if the only person motivating you to workout is yourself. Tell yourself, “I went to [school, work, other mandatory activity], now I’m going to go workout because that is my schedule.” and stick to it. Before you know it your body will be craving exercise and the schedule will be easier to maintain than ever. 

Listen to your body if something hurts. Treadmills hurt my knees, ankles and hips a ton. That’s one of the main reasons I switched to the manual treadmill. 

You don’t need to buy a new wardrobe to workout in, but find clothes that are suitable for the activity you’re doing. Since I only do cardio, I stick to leggings, a fitted tank top and Nikes made specifically for running. Footwear is extremely important when working out! 

Find something that drives you to work out. For me, sure working out is fun, but it’s mainly my excuse to read. I feel so guilty when I read - I feel like I should be cleaning, doing homework, hanging out with my boyfriend, etc. But when I work out the world goes away and I can finally enjoy the story guilt free. Maybe you feel that way about watching shows or listening to podcasts - give it a try! Your brain will associate the two activities and it’ll help you not only crave exercise, but you have an excuse to enjoy the activity as well.

The most important tip I can offer throughout all of this is to not weigh yourself for the first month or so. Weighing myself constantly was always my downfall when I tried dieting and exercising before. I’d either get impatient and give up, or get complacent and tell myself I could skip the gym or eat poorly because I saw results. Give yourself a solid four weeks to put in the time and sweat five times a week and completely change your eating habits. Your body will grow stronger and you’ll feel yourself grow more confident. You’ll have done such an amazing job that when you step on the scale at the end of the month you’ll never want to go back to your old way of living again.

Remember that weight loss is a journey and everybody goes at their own pace. Not eating/regurgitating food/binging isn’t the way to achieve your goal body long-term. Developing a healthy way of eating and a manageable exercise goal is - and if I can do it, I know you can too :)

It’s about to pop!

Today on GMM, Rhett and Link rank different brands of microwave popcorn in order to determine, which is the best exploded kernel to enjoy while watching the Oscars. I’m not a fan of popcorn in general, and even if I do occasionally eat it, I always opt for the ones that are not butter flavoured. I think my biggest issue with popcorn is getting that “film” (I had to google this, and apparently it’s called a pericarp) that covers the kernel stuck in my teeth.

But hey, as long as I don’t have to eat popcorn, I’m sure to have a jolly good time watching today’s episode. So, let’s get poppin’!

There are altogether six different brands of popcorn ranked today, and right from the start, I feel the jury is a bit biased towards Orville Redenbacher. I’m not sure if knowing that Orville died of a heart-attack in a Jacuzzi (maybe due to decades of eating popcorn with real butter?) increases my appetite, but it does make this brand a little more interesting.

I actually have my birthday today, and just as I was writing the paragraph above, I received an email with a b-day gift of free popcorns for when I go to the movies next time - which is convenient, because my plan is to celebrate the big day with a movie on Friday. Last year I had an actual party and baked a cake with bi pride colours, but I don’t think my guests quite got the hint. Anyway, looks like I’ll be eating popcorn this week.

The only skinny thing I’d be willing to purchase, are jeans, and for me, skinny is not the first thing that comes to mind in terms of snacks - but checking the Skinny pop website, I kind of get it now. I also get why this is the most expensive brand today.  Being gluten-free, GMO-free and artificial flavouring free are, as trivial as they may seem to an average consumer, qualities which all products can’t guarantee. Keeping the production line 100 % gluten free is expensive, and in today’s world, so is keeping the corn GMO-free.

In Europe, GMO products are much more regulated than in the US, and if I’m not entirely mistaken, none of the corn for human consumption is genetically modified. I’m personally quite worried about GMO in general, for many reasons too serious for GMM commentary, but not all corn is genetically modified. Selective breeding is not the same thing as genetic modification. Rhett is wrong, but I’m not going to start a rant.

It’s obvious the biggest difference in these popcorns is in the branding. Act II does not sound like a good brand name. The name might have worked back in the 80s when it was first introduced, but now that it’s been around for 30+ years, it makes absolutely no sense.

Now, I may not be a popcorn lover, but I do love those vintage popcorn makers - just as I love all kinds of vintage gadgets. A little bit of googling produced something that must be similar to the popcorn wagon Link remembered. That looks pretty cool. (I love how Link says they have to get one for Mythical for the parties - I’ve used the same excuse for so many kitchen gadgets that I could start a catering business, and I have parties like once in a decade.)

Am I supposed to believe that one of pop’s secrets is not that he is being payed by Orville? After this “subtle” wink? Or is that a “not a sponsor, but I’d like you to be” wink? Anyway, you don’t need to be payed to have a preference.

Oh, Link. Jolly time sounds a lot like “sugar time with your meat stick”, and with that expression on his face, is even less subtle than Rhett’s wink. I’d love to see how Christy would react if she saw Link call him his woman. In fact, it would be kind of cool to once see Jessie and Christy react on any of the GMM episodes, like Rhett’s Dad did on LTAT.

Oh, I did not know anything about Newman’s Own as a brand, and being curious about how all the profits could possibly go to charity, I did another google search. Paul Newman is behind this? How awesome is it when celebrities use their fame for actual good - and make sure their legacy continues even after they’re gone? And, he was a great actor, too. Turns out, these products are available in Finland, too, so I need to try some. Not the popcorn, but a salad dressing maybe.

Why do I love it when Rhett and Link start tossing food at each other? Catching corn with Grandad is really jolly time! I’m pretty sure it’s more fun than dying in a jacuzzi, even if I got to meet the guys in the corn pasture later.

In GMMore, the guys try to make popcorn with a table-top grill and flat-irons, and the miracle of popping leads to a delightful conversation about human birth. I’m not sure if I’ve told this here before, but when I was a kid (like around 7 years-old), after school, before the parents got home, I used to watch my dad’s medical educational videos (on VHS) with my friend (he was a year older). My dad is a doctor, and at one point, he was sent piles of these tapes for free, and he never watched them. We did. One of them was a very graphic video about giving birth - this was intended for medical professionals, not small kids. We watched the whole thing, afterbirth and all, and to this day, neither of us has children.

In case you didn’t catch the earworm worthy song Link was singing with his altered lyrics (”it takes time to make a thing go pop), here it is. It doesn’t take time for me to get an earworm, but I’ll gladly share it with y’all. And it’s once again proof of how much Link knows about history of hip-hop.

Turns out, with a flat-iron, it doesn’t take that long to make a corn go pop - but the grill is a dud. If you want to pop more than one kernel, you might want to try a kettle, especially since the flat-ironed popcorns come out a little flat. But I think find the popcorn could make a good party game - in fact, it takes only two to make that game fun. Don’t pop in each other’s faces, though. It only takes one corn to make a man go blind. Crap, I’m gonna stop now.

It would actually be an interesting episode of GMM to have the guys react to birth videos - only I think they’d need some help keeping Link’s eyes open (like what they did in Clockwork orange)...

The liberal media is pushing the recession narrative. Lol Not so fast. “Obamas placed an offer on 'mega-expensive' estate in Martha's Vineyard: report” We are experiencing the housing boom instead. Lol The Obamas are buying super expensive mansion while Bernie and Liz Warren ( both millionaires) are pushing for socialism. Poor Biden forgot he was not VP last year. The Russian collusion hoax has fallen apart. And everyone has forgot that Trump was supposed to be a Russian spy. Now what? (1)

Anonymous said: Now we are waiting for the Horowitz report which is claimed to be coming in September. John Durham has been working quietly on his investigation. I think maybe next year we will find out some of its details. But so far no leaks in the press. The 2020 election is promised to be fun to watch. (2)

Obama told Biden, “You don’t have to do this.”  Now they are hiding Joe from the public, and Fox and mainstream media are beating the hell out of him. 

Hannity showed the memo on his show that was partially unredacted. Proving it was Hillary Clinton, the DNC, Fusion GPS that started the shit show during Trump campaign, Trump transition team and while he was in office. That sounds like a coupe to me! After reading blue share that is their agenda, conspiracy anyone? Oh and John Soloman said that Obama knew every step of the way. 

Spying is illegal on American citizens, everyone should be mad as hell, we are a land of laws. 

It’s always going to be something they will attack Trump for anything. Watch Hillary's tweets.

Billionaire Diller said, She still has a role to play

The Horowitz report was delayed because of new information he supposedly found, I have a feeling some people started talking, like Steele himself. I do hope he is protected you know Hillary’s like Medusa, SUICIDE! She does have a track record. 

Back to the Obama’s now part of the Elite globalist, NGO agenda, think bigger and grander.

I’m stocking up on Orville Reddenbocker movie popcorn for the front runners to spar off. This ought to be outstanding entertainment.  Trump will be better prepared, and he is going to say whatever he wants.

I’m looking for Antifa to be labeled a domestic terror group and bring the guard in on this shitshow. Let the parents of these woke misinformed kids go to jail. Can you sue the administrators for brainwashing them? I think it’s a fair question. 

Thank you anon, God Bless America and the World 🌸😎😘

Pass The Popcorn

It’s one of those traditions that goes without questioning. No one seems to care about when and why moviegoers started munching on popcorn in theatres. It’s just what you do. As if the price of admission weren’t already enough, we pony up another $10 or more on one of the highest profit margin products available.

In case you’re actually wondering, popcorn and movies date to 1927, when the “talkies” were introduced. Although popcorn had been popular since the mid-1800s, there were no cinemas yet. And even when silent movies debuted in the early-1900s, they were shown in elaborate theatres in which eating was not allowed. These attracted the intellectual elite of the time, because they were able to read the text screens. Score one for literacy, which begat wealth and class.

But in 1927, movies with sound hit theatres, and the rules were changed. Suddenly the masses wanted to go to the movies, and bring their snacks with them. Savvy street vendors seized the opportunity to sell popcorn outside these theatres, but the theatres wised up and started selling their own.

And subsequently banning any outside food. Unless you sneak it in, of course. Large purses for the win. Very large.

Going to the movies became an American preoccupation, a time-honored activity where folks on first dates, families, and everyone in between went to watch the latest offerings from Hollywood. But that was before all things digital, which started with VHS and later DVD movies available to rent or buy, and then streaming. Stir in a little pandemic for seasoning, and now you see an industry in a world of hurt. People just aren’t going to the movies anymore. Actually, in the last year, 61% of Americans reported not having gone at all.

And things are so bad that theatre chain AMC is planning to start selling its popcorn at retail outside of the cinema.

Hold the salt and add some butter, this sounds like the perfect storm of retailing reality and new product disruption. Good luck with this, AMC.

To wit: AMC dreams of opening popcorn kiosks inside other retailers, as well as partnering with third-party delivery companies to make its tasty morsels available far from the silver screen. It’s a dream that sounds good on paper, but I have serious reservations about actually working.

For one, it requires advance planning from consumers. Typically, the movie ticket and popcorn purchase are only a few minutes apart. The popcorn is fresh and hot. Try doing that with Door Dash. And then consider those kiosks, where they plan to sell microwave popcorn just like Orville Redenbacher.

There is much to be said about venturing far away from one’s area of expertise. AMC knows how to make and sell popcorn in theatres, but knows nothing about retail and off-premise consumption. Even though it created a new position to pursue this new strategy, and even poached an executive from Frito-Lay, I see a major disconnect in all of this.

I’ll share an anecdote. My brother likes to trawl discount stores, scooping up bargains. When I saw him last summer, he gave me a couple of bottles of barbecue sauce he had gotten at one of those stores that carry things that went unsold elsewhere. I looked down and beheld two bottles of Cuisinart sauce. I knew I had an example of line extending gone bad. While Cuisinart may know kitchen appliances, it knows nothing about the sauces people put on the foods they cook in their appliances, nor the distribution thereof.

Same goes for AMC, but even worse. They have forgotten their business, which is movies. Popcorn is just extra profit. And if you disconnect the popcorn from the theatre-going experience, it all comes crashing down to earth. The odds are good that many households have been buying competing products for years, and I doubt they will see a need to switch brands.

I know what you’re thinking. Many restaurant brands have found their way into supermarkets, like Taco Bell, White Castle, and even the now-defunct chain Chi Chi’s. You can still make money and find some modicum of success, but it is risky business. Trying to leverage brand equity in one area to another often results in good money chasing bad.

As for AMC, they did not have many choices. They could do this, roll over and die, or possibly partner with a streaming service for a promotion. Of these, I think the latter would have been best. After all, streaming services are about movies, not the retail path AMC has chosen. And doing nothing is just giving up. It’s not an easy proposition no matter what, but this would have been the better path.

I’m not holding my breath on this one. And I am one of the 61% who has not been to a movie now measured in pandemic years. I also have my doubts I will ever go to one, if only because I have now considered what a Petri dish of other peoples’ germs they are. Besides, I have all these streaming services, and, quite frankly, I like what Netflix is doing far better than anything coming out of Hollywood.

I suspect my brother will find cases of this stuff at the discount store in less than a year. It goes without question. I’ll just sit here and wait as this horror movie plays out.

Wellness Wednesday:

Steak, Salad, Salad, Salad, and Salad

Well, for the last couple of weeks I've been having cravings for steak - doesn't sound that odd, but I'm not a steak person. Nothing to do with veganism or animal cruelty - I'm just not a fan. Anywhosel, last two weeks I wanted nothing but steak so I bought a fat juicy ribeye - it hit the spot.

The meals following the Ribeye were all salads. Now, salads I love. I can eat salads all day, errrday.

Retrospectively, I think I will be partake in more meat center dishes more often, but I also want to experiment with vegetarian meals - like an extended period of time with no meat - like 30-40 days.

Beyond my food intake nothing else is happening - except my sleep schedule is out of whack due to last week or so of work. I'm hoping catch some naps this weekend.

Be the perfect party host with this Easter popcorn

Pictured is an Easter popcorn mix I made for my friends. This photo was taken by Parker Christian.

Popcorn is something I can never resist. Easter popcorn? Count me in.

This White Chocolate Easter Popcorn is everything you need. It’s both sweet and salty and both festive and scrumptious. The best thing about it is that it is so easy to make.

All you will need for this simple recipe is a box of Orville Redenbacher’s Single Serve Butter Flavor Popcorn, food coloring, a big pot, a slightly smaller pot, a spatula, Easter M&M’s and a 12 ounce bag of Nestle Toll House Premier White Chocolate Morsels.

After you’ve collected your ingredients and materials, start by microwaving two bags of the popcorn (one at a time) for a little under two minutes each. Make sure to listen to the popping and to take out the bag when you hear pauses of around two seconds between pops. Then, take the popcorn out of the bags and allow it to cool.

Now it's time to temper the chocolate. Fill up your bigger pot with four cups of water. Place three-quarters of the white chocolate into the smaller pot.

Once the water starts boiling, place the smaller pot over the bigger pot (you may have to hold it if there is a big difference between pot sizes). When the chocolate begins to melt, use your spatula to start stirring. Stir only until there are a few bumps left; then, take the pot off the stove, and stir the chocolate until completely mixed.

Pour white chocolate into separate bowls (one for every color you’d like in your popcorn). Add the desired amount of drops of food coloring to each bowl until you achieve the color you’d like. I chose to use three colors: pink, green and blue. Drizzle one color, and let it sit until completely cooled before pouring the next.

Note: I did all of my colors one after another before letting each set, and my popcorn did not turn out as pretty as I wanted it to!

Before letting the last color of the chocolate set, add the desired amount of M&M’s to the mix.

This recipe was so much fun to make and really embodies the fun side of Easter. I gave some away to friends, and they loved it. I hope that you’ll make some for your friends and let me know how it goes!

Avenging Angel

From this request: Can you do a thing where the reader is in some kind of danger, so the Cas sends her to the avengers universe until it's sorted out. And they all watch supernatural and ship her super hard with Cas

______________________________________________________________

“Hey, Rogers is gonna try and figure out Netflix. You wanna come watch?”

You looked up, finding Tony standing in your doorway. “He still hasn’t figured it out?”

“It took him a week to figure out the microwave.”

“To be fair, there’s like, twenty more buttons than necessary on that thing.”

Tony cocked his head into the hall, beckoning you to follow. You stood and followed him, just like you always did. Tony had an air about him that comforted you. He was kind of like Dean… times twenty.

“Is Clint making popcorn?” you asked, sniffing the air.

“Yeah. I don’t know why you’re so fascinated with it. And I don’t know why you can’t just eat regular Orville Redenbacher like everyone else.”

“Because I can’t figure out the damn microwave!”

“Geez, you and Rogers. Techno-illiterate.”

You shrugged. “Sam was the tech guy. But Dean could make a mean EMF detector.”

“And what were you? A pretty face?”

“I was usually on angel duty. Making sure Cas wasn’t getting into too much trouble. Trying to teach him human culture.”

“He did seem a little… dim.”

“No worse than Steve.”

It had been a weird experience, coming here. Cas had heard some noise on the angel radio that you were in danger, had a target on your back. In order to keep you safe, he needed to take you somewhere no other angel would be able to find you. After studying your interests, he found a way to transport you somewhere you’d never imagined you could go: an alternate universe where the Avengers were alive and well.

Cas had almost gotten the two of you shot when he popped you into STARK tower. But he explained the situation to Tony, who, surprisingly, didn’t seem too rattled afterward. You’d asked him about it once.

“Sweetheart, I’ve encountered more strange things in the past few years than you could ever imagine: aliens, gods, humans being preserved in giant chunks of ice, super soldiers kicking my ass, my computer system condensing into a humanoid figure. You and your angel are nothing I can’t handle.”

You’d been here for almost a year. You could talk to Cas in your prayers if he wasn’t busy, but you hadn’t had any contact with the Winchesters since. You missed them but knew this was the best place for you. You tried your best to stay happy; after all, how many fangirls had the opportunity to live with the Avengers?

You plopped down on the couch next to Thor, whose sculpted muscles were surprisingly comfortable to cuddle into. Clint walked in and handed you a large bowl of fluffy white popcorn. All eyes were on Steve who was trying to figure out the remote. After a few moments, Netflix popped up.

“Opa!” Tony said, clapping sarcastically.

“Shush,” Steve said, tossing the remote to him. “You get to pick what we’re watching.”

“Come on, Rogers, scrolling through is the easiest part.”

“Not with six opinions being shouted at you.”

Tony rolled his eyes. He scrolled through the options, ignoring everything everyone said.

“Well, well, well,” he said, clicking on a title. “What have we here?”

“Tony, no,” you said.

“Come on, Y/N. We want to learn more about where you come from.”

“Kansas. I come from Kansas.”

“Shush. Now, what episode should we watch?”

“It’s not like I’m in any of them.” At least, you didn’t think you were.

Tony scrolled through the episodes until a familiar pair of eyes peered out at him. “Hold on, what’s this. Is that the angel who brought you here?”

“Yes. That’s Cas.”

“Bingo.”

And so you sat there, watching the men you knew and loved on screen. It was so strange to see them in this way, to see them fighting fights you’d heard about. While you knew they survived, you still found yourself on the edge of your seat a few times.

“He’s pretty cute,” Natasha noted once, nodding to the giant version of Cas on the screen. “And fiercely protective of those two.”

“He’s also protective of Y/N,” Tony said. “Don’t you remember the way he came in here, all lightning and wrath of God?”

“I found him an admirable foe,” Thor said. “But I’m glad I didn’t have to fight him.”

“Why? Scared?”

“Hardly. But he appears to be a perfect romantic match for our Y/N.”

You felt your cheeks heating. “I… I…”

“Are you involved with this angel?” Steve asked.

“I…”

“Look at that blush. They’ve definitely slept together,” Tony said.

“No, we haven’t!” you squeaked.

“You want to?”

You said nothing, just stuffed your face with popcorn.

19 Feuds that Prove No One Does Drama Better than Celebrities

Don’t you simply dislike drama? It’s so wearying. There are just so many acts you have to deal with. Making the popcorn. Buttering the popcorn. Seeing a good seat. But we do what have to do. Advertisement div > Nobody does drama better than luminaries . b> div > Getty Images So while we know it’s a lot of work, it’s time to get up and start searching the cabinets for the Orville and get poppin.’ Here are 19 of the craziest celebrity feuds of all time. Advertisement div > div > Megyn Kelly vs. Jane Fonda div > via: Getty Images Talk about a face-off between two seriously strong and terrifying alpha-females. It’s a miracle that Megyn Kelly didn’t instantly turn to stone after she received the look of death from Jane Fonda, after asking her about plastic surgery on live television. Jane successfully evaded the issue and redirected those discussions back to the movie but Fonda was nowhere near done talking about the incident. She went on to criticise Kelly in various subsequent interrogations, claiming that Kelly is” not a good examiner” for expecting a question that was ” so inappropriate .” On her see, Megyn Kelly is a response to Fonda’s comments in a highly organized attack. She blamed Jane Fonda for her contentious trip to Vietnam in’ 72 which earned her the unfavorable nickname “Hanoi Jane” and claimed that Fonda” had not yet been business castigating anyone on what prepares as offensive .” Advertisement div > div > Vin Diesel vs. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson div > via: Getty Images Perhaps these two celebs were duelling it out for best baldy in Hollywood. While killing the final representations of Fast and Furious 8 , em> Dwayne’ The Rock’ Johnson posted an likenes hashtagged with the quotation “zero tolerance for candy-asses.” While it was unclear at the time who precisely’ The Rock’ was specific referring to as a candy-ass, another post of Johnson’s would clear up any candy-ass confusion. It was an image of the direct and crew under which he thanked practically everyone from the plane service girlfriend to Fast and Furious Fans, yet nowhere in his affix did he thanks the films co-producer, Vin Diesel. And while’ The Rock’ continued to confirm the squabble on the welcome mat of the film’s debut, Vin Diesel managed to defuse suspected hostilities that same night, by commenting on the closeness of the two’s relationship. It’s not always easy being an alpha. And it’s two alphas. Being an alpha is sometimes a pain in the ass . em> Tell me about it, Vin. But at the end of the day, according to Diesel, the people we consider to be our category are our genealogy, candy-assed or not. At my house,[ Dwayne Johnson] is’ Uncle Dwayne’ and I’m proud of that . em> Oh, gag me with a spoon! This ” duel” between two of the( presumably) “toughest” chaps in Hollywood perfectly epitomizes just how sorry workers are at the skill of drama. Unlike female feuds, where a public oral combat to the death follows, in which no youth, grandmother, pet, or blasphemed secret is off limits. Just look at Megyn Kelly, she had to dig back 40 years to come up with a half-decent clap-back, but she dug in with both paws and did the drudgery, like a real woman. Was it right? Absolutely not. But at the least her backside isn’t eternally sticky, like these candy-ass baldies. Advertisement div > div > Jay-Z vs. Kanye West div > via: Getty Images When the two mega hip-hop masters first worked together, rumors began to run that Jay-Z didn’t want to sign Kanye on with Roc–AFella Registers but claims to have half-heartedly signed him in an attempt to” at the least, keep the trounces in-house .” While the two seemed to develop a friendship despite any past matters, Kanye made it clear in his song about the relations between the two countries( yes, a song about their relationship ), Big Brother, that he was still butthurt. Apparently, Kanye didn’t realize being toldby Jay-Z to start buy tickets to his substantiate after asking his big bro for a duo and expressed this sentiment in his lyrics… Only situation I wanna know is why I get ogled over. I guess I’ll understand when I get more older. Big brother experienced me at the bottom of the totem. Now I’m on the top and everybody on the scrotum . em> When Jay Z didn’t accompanied Kanye and Kim’s wedding nuptials, West replied,” All that, I wouldn’t even speak on. It doesn’t even matter to me whatsoever .” And afterward, after both of their children were born, Kanye greatly carried angst toward his “big brother” where reference is articulated,” Our children ain’t never even played together.” Eventually, Jay Z “ve had enough” of Kanye’s evaluations, and so he announced Kanye out in his line “KILL JAY” for his” f-everybody posture” and continues at, calling West “insane.” Apparently, West had also had enough and made am of the view that TIDAL owed him 3 billion dollars right before officially chipping ties with the streaming service. Jay-Z lately addressed the bro-drama, clarifying,” I enjoy Kanye. I do. It’s a complicated affair with us … But it’s gonna, we gonna ever be good .” Why didn’t these two time get onto over with and debate it out, face-to-face, 8 Mile status? Advertisement div > div > Susan Sarandon vs. Debra Messing div > via: Getty Images Get “re ready for” revenge of the redheads. Things curdled political in a twitter struggle between Susan Sarandon and Debra Messing after Sarandon suggested that she may not backing Hilary Clinton, should Bernie Sanders be booted out of the presidential race. Messing publicly carried the issue as to whether Sarandon would share her same sentiment should she be” poverty-stricken, homosexual, Muslim or an immigrant” in a tweet. Despite Sarandon clarifying that she would not be voting for Donald Trump, the two went back and forth on titter aiming, at least publicly, with Messing announcing Sarandon’s principles “sanctimonious.” Advertisement div > div > Katy Perry vs. Taylor Swift div > via: Getty Images While it seemed as though the two pop-icons were affectionate for some time, that would all change after various of Taylor Swift’s backup dancers unexpectedly cease and were abruptly booked to perform on Katy Perry’s tour. After years of speculation, Swift eventually interpreted the incident that extended her to write her epic-smash-hit “Bad Blood” about Perry, in an interview with Rolling Stone. She claims that Perry” mostly tried to sabotage an part realm expedition of hers by hiring her gang out from under her. In return, Katy alleged Swift of” trying to assassinate her person .” After several years and a few ballads, the popping combat finally came to a shut when Perry literally referred an olive branch to Swift with a tone calling a moratorium and formally rationalizing for her part in the mess. Taylor posted a picture of the notation and olive branch on Instagram with the caption,” Thank you Katy” along with a centre emoji. We’re not sure precisely who was right and who was wrong in this hot mess of a theatre but points to Perry for the elegant gesticulate and same to Swift for knowing when it’s time to let go of “Bad Blood” and just move on. Advertisement div > div > Neil Patrick Harris vs. James Woods div > via: Getty Images In reference to an image of an 8-year-old boy with their own families at Pride, James Woods tweeted a response that is as inappropriate as it is offensive. The actor wrote,” This is sweet. Wait until this poor adolescents grows up, realizes what you’ve done, and materials both of you amputated into a freezer in the garage.” Wait, huh? We’re disorient and James Woods is weird. Neil Patrick Harris fired back at Woods, announcing specific comments, “Utterly ignorant and classless .” Harris continued, lending,” I’m friends with this family. You know not of what you speak, and should be ashamed of yourself .” Amen, Neil Patrick. Urge! Advertisement div > div > Sarah Jessica Parker vs. Kim Cattrall div > via: Getty Images We hate to abound your bubble, but rumors regarding Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall’s strained liaison supported true when, upon the enact of her brother, Cattrall wrote this remorseless call-out on Instagram TAGEND My Mom asked a question today “When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that charlatan, leave you alone? ” Your incessant contacting out is a unpleasant reminder to seeing how brutal “youve been” was later and now. Let me make this Awfully clear.( If I haven’t previously) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I’m writing to tell you one last-place time to stop manipulating our tragedy in order to restore your’ neat girl’ persona . em> Yikes, wow, and ouch. Advertisement div > div > Lady Gaga vs. Kelly Osbourne div > via: Getty Images After Lady Gaga wrote an open letter to Kelly Osbourne alleging her of has become a “bully,” Osbourne seemed more than simply a bit confused when Gaga apparently attempted to make peace by referring her a birthday cake. Osbourne tweeted : Not to be ungrateful but why would you move me a birthday cake via MY MOTHER in a country half the world apart? #EatMySh* t Hmmm. Well, we’re not entirely sure why Gaga moved her anything at all, and we’re too not sure she understands the word, “ungrateful.” If Lady Gaga sends you a cake, you eat it, and you like it. Advertisement div > div > Jennifer Lawrence vs. Chloe Sevigny div > via: Getty Images While it seems to be the general consensus that actress Jennifer Lawrence is likable, according to colleague actress, Chloe Sevigny, she’s really not. In an interrogation with V store, Sevigny was explained that while she adoration fellow actresses Angelina Jolie and Emma Stone, “shes not”, I reiterate, NOT, a fan of J-Law. Jennifer Lawrence, I find exasperating. Too indelicate . em> Okay, Chloe, route to tell it like it is. And while Sevigny is certainly entitled to her belief, one might find such an unprompted proclamation, I don’t know, extremely crass? Advertisement div > div > Gwyneth Paltrow vs. Martha Stewart div > via: Getty Images It all began when Martha Stewart was asked her belief on Gwyneth Paltrow’s attempt to break into the “lifestyle” industry with her managerial Goop em> launch. Stewart seemed less than impressed and seemed to question the faithfulnes of Paltrow’s professional pursuits. But Stewart wasn’t done slamming the stellar, going on to eventually articulate that Gwyneth” simply needs to be quiet. She’s a movie star. If she were confident in her play, she wouldn’t be trying to be Martha Stewart .” Gwyneth responded by recommending she was totally unphased by Stewart’s comments but, if anything, was flattered that Martha considered her as “competition.” Perhaps Martha was merely welcoming Paltrow to the table … in her own, crafty way. After all, the fine art of passive-aggressiveness is prerequisite to lifestyle living. And, apparently, Gwyneth can hold her own just fine. Advertisement div > div > Angelina Jolie vs. Chelsea Handler div > via: Getty Images After news broke of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s divorce, Chelsea Handler did not hesitate to express her thinkings on the divide, calling Jolie a” f *#% ing lunatic” and the divorce” an emancipation” of kinds for Pitt. The explanation behind Handler’s blatant disfavor of Angelina Jolie is an age-old and widely acceptable excuse for disliking a fellow female; She messed around with her friend’s man. That’s right. Handler is good friends with Pitt’s jilted ex, Jennifer Aniston. It all obligates ability now. Advertisement div > div > Kim Kardashian vs. Chloe Grace Moretz div > via: Getty Images As soon as the internet rebooted after Kim Kardashian’s naked selfie briefly break-dance it, Kim was reacted with a fling from actress Chloe Grace Moretz. Moretz replied to Kardashian scant selfie by reminding Kim that she is an example to young girls who need to know that they are” so much more than precisely their own bodies .” However, Moretz’ assault at a feministic reply seemed to backfire when she was immediately flung online for seemingly slut-shaming Kardashian. Kim replied to Chloe Moretz with a classily immature Kardashian tone that one plainly cannot compete with, tweeting,” Let’s all welcome @ ChloeGMoretz to quaver, since no one were aware that she is. Your nylon shield is charming boo .” Not simply did Kim hurl the hypocrisy of the tweet( considering Moretz recent NUDE Nylon periodical cover. Oh sorry, technically I guess she has a cardigan wrap over her shoulders because I know that’s always how I rock my favorite cardigan) but she also insinuated that Chloe Grace Moretz isn’t exactly a household name, to put it gently. In other words, she’s a hypocrite AND a nobody. One can’t deny that Kim can hold her own. Advertisement div > div > Khloe Kardashian vs. Amy Schumer div > via: Getty Images In her SNL monologue, Amy Schumer cracked pranks at Khloe Kardashian’s recent weight loss. We used to have Khloe, you are familiar? Khloe was ours, right? But then Khloe, she lost half their own bodies heavines. She lost a Kendall . em> And considering all the flack Kardashians get for not inevitably being the most culturally persuasive home, Khloe Kardashian’s comments Schumer’s oration were impressively astute. During an impression on The Howard Stern Show , Kardashian pointed out just how sanctimonious Amy Schumer’s comments certainly were. I was more disrupt that someone claims they’re like a girl’s girl and that they’re all about girls empowerment, and then she says that I’m not relatable because I’m not fat anymore … I’m proud, I’ve worked for three [ email kept ] *% ing years to do this. Schumer, who is also commonly criticized for her value, retrospectively seemed to see the double standard she was continuing in her harangue as she promptly apologized to Khloe and agreed that all women, solid and scrawny alike, should lift each other up. Advertisement div > div > Justin Bieber vs. Orlando Bloom div > via: https :// www.gettyimages.com Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber have a long and even violent biography that revolves around Blooms ex-wife, model Miranda Kerr. It is believed that Justin Bieber made a comment to Bloom at a nightclub that somehow alleged that he and Kerr had been intimate during her marriage to Bloom. As you can imagine, thoughts spiraled downward from there and ended with many gales being thrown, although none landed. Justin Bieber continued to throw punches on Twitter after the physical showdown had ended by affixing an image of Miranda Kerr and soon after, another image of Orlando Bloom apparently visibly psychological over the exchange. Advertisement div > div > Rihanna vs. Ciara div > via: Getty Images On Fashion Police , em> Singer Ciara claimed that Rihanna “wasn’t the nicest” when meeting her in the past. In response to this apparently unsolicited throw, Rihanna tweeted back with a vengeance. My bad Ci, did I 4get to gratuity u ? em> Daaaamn , now that is harsh. And kind of demonstrates Ciara’s comment may not have been that unwarranted after all but it doesn’t seem like Rhianna really is all that concerned with being “the nicest,” anyway. Advertisement div > div > Brooke Shields vs. Tom Cruise div > via: Getty Images In her memoir, Down Came the Rain , Brooke Shields endorsed the use of antidepressants to analyse postpartum recession but Tom Cruise made it clear that he was not in agreeance with Brooke on the issue. In an interview with the Today display, Cruise announced Sheilds ” reckless” for promoting antidepressants without” telling beings the risks .” Brooke responded with what is perhaps the classiest organize of clapping back ever. She wrote an op-ed in the New York Times in which she writes,” I’m going to take a wild guess and say that Mr. Cruise has never suffering from postpartum sadnes .” Cruise was left with no choice but to apologize, which he did, and even departed as far as to invite Shields to his and Kaie Holmes’ upcoming bridal, to which Brooke accepted. Awkward. Advertisement div > div > Nicki Minaj vs. Miley Cyrus div > via: Getty Images The fighting paroles at the 2015 VMA’s between the two celebs seemed to have stanch from Miley’s Halloween costume that year … which was ” Nicki Minaj .” Apparently, Minaj was also upset over comments Cyrus had made about Minaj’s reaction to not being nominated for Video of the Year. On stage at the VMA’s, Nicki slammed out at the former Disney star. And now, back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me the other epoch in the press the other daylight ,” she shelled, before delivering one of pop culture’s standout times of 2015, the soon to be shared and memed,” Miley, what’s good ? em> Eek. Can’t answer we didn’t see that coming. Advertisement div > div > Taylor Swift vs. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West div > via: Getty Images It all started with the odious mic swipe onstage by Kanye at the 2009 MTV Music Awards, heightened with Swift’s response to Kayne via her song pick at the 2010 VMA’s. Cue apology from Kayne and all is seemingly well in the world. Until it’s not. Kanye’s release of Famous reignited the drama and deepened tensions to brand-new levels. I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex Why? I started that bitch famous I realized that bitch prominent Taylor Swift was not delighted, to say the least. Swift claimed never to have approved the offensive texts and addressed their misogynistic feeling in her adoption lecture for recording of the year at the Grammys, telling young women never to let anyone to take ascribe for their success. While Kim and Kanye attempted to claim that Taylor did approve the words by exhausting sound recordings of conversations with Swift made by the couple without Swift’s knowledge, the whole shady proposal culminated up backfiring when the strip was outed as being edited. Swift continued to call out Kanye and Kim the best way she knew how, through her music. Her album, Reputation , em> were considered to be riddled with hurls of Kanye West and we can’t say we accuse her. This neverending feud takes the cake for most drawn-out celeb drama to date.
