Hanging out with people will make you remember you're the crazy woke friend for like. not wanting to shop at shien
Fucking incredible that this is the first example they used lmao
the last one is pretty funny too
Pros of rereading your own fics: Holy shit this is amazing
Cons of rereading your own fics: How is there always a typo I missed every single time I read this
This is true btw
the podcast If Books Could Kill has a really great episode on the original book and its legacy! just a bunch of misogynist evangelical bullshit really
I want to clarify something kind of important because this kinda used to be my field. The concept that people express and feel love in different ways, and that this might lead to misunderstandings, IS something with scientific merit. The idea that there are just five and we know what they are is NOT. The idea that people have a primary love language is NOT.
In science, we have a saying. All models are wrong, but some are useful. Thatās how I see the love languages framework. It is inherently flawed, but some of its concepts are useful. Communicate with your partner what makes you feel loved and understand what makes them feel loved. Understand how your partner shows love. There is immense value in that. But donāt over-index on which one of the five you are. That part doesnāt matter.
#love languages#really reblogging for that last comment though#āall models are wrong but some are usefulā#the concept is sound but the specifics are uhhhh not (via @mad-madam-m)
Iāve seen some people play with book! Armand and show!armand interacting and but Iāve yet to see anyone explore just how angry I think book!armand could be. First of course at show Armand for having the audacity to be allowed to have chest hair, but then for Show!Armand.
Book Armand was enslaved at the age of 15. He had a childhood, a plan to be a monk, a family he knew cared for him. Marius found him dying because he refused to work in the brothel and was being tortured to death for it.
Iām not downplaying what Andrei suffered but Show Armand objectively had a way worse start to life. Being enslaved was his first memory. Louis mentions him being 12 but even before that he was likely subjected to working non sex related jobs in the brothel and punishments for having the audacity to be a child. Then even his salvation was untrue because Marius loaned him out for a decade before he was turned.
How would book Armand and his complicated relationship with Marius not immediately want to demand to know where Marius was? Was he not in the city for the nine or so years that Show Armand was suffering in the brothel? Did show Armand not also plead for death to take him? Why was he allowed to languish and why would Marius dare share him?! This worldās Marius is obviously inferior in every way and must be dealt with.
Show Armand would have to put a child leash on the little homicidal redhead.
@mysunfreckle immediately brought to mind your Jehan in Fangs and Flower Power
It's perfect š
i adore that jacob said that louis is also quite a headfuck and a lot to take on even for someone like lestat, because a lot of times people act like he's this level-headed normal guy who got saddled with a basket case husband he has to manage, when really it's crazy4crazy in the loustat household. and i love that ā¤ļø
Text I got from my guy friend whoās currently dating a man for the first time when I asked him how itās going

āMeatless alternatives are getting so good, you should try them! I bet you wouldnāt even be able to tell the difference! In factā¦.ā
Please
Please
Please stop trying to sneak-feed me meat alternatives.
I am willing to prepare and share a vegan meal with you, Iām willing to skip animal products in our group spaces.
Please.
Stop trying to sneak-feed me meat alternatives.
Mycoprotein is fucking cool, vat-grown meat is fucking cool, believe me I am fucking down for figuring out efficient calories and Iām interested in attempting to reduce or eliminate animal agriculture but you wouldnāt want me to sneak-feed you cricket flour, you donāt get to sneak-feed me your stuff.
I wouldnāt mind if you snuck-fed me cricket flour, actually. If cricket flour is indistinguishable from regular flour then sure, go for it.
I really donāt know what the initial gripe is about, though. The anonymous person you quote is not trying to sneak-feed you anything. They outright say āmeatless alternative.ā Is your problem that they may have GMOs? I genuinely have no idea what your complaint is, because youāre talking about people sneak-feeding you meatless stuff but your pics are all about GMO corn starch or whatever.
I have celiac disease and a corn allergy and a relative who wanted to try to pass off impossible burger as ground beef to prove how good meat alternatives are.
I donāt care about āgmoā and I dont care about the fact that itās ātextured proteinā I care about ācornā and āwheatā and I care that people without food allergies rarely know how inescapable some of those allergens are.
āOh, I checked the ingredients, it doesnāt have cornā
Okay but does it have maltodextrin, modified food starch, xanthan gum, caramel coloring, dextrose, or glucose syrup?
If it does have any of those things do they specifically say āfrom potatoes,ā āfrom tapioca,ā āfrom cane sugarā or āfrom riceā?
If it didnāt did you check the manufacturerās website? If that didnāt say did you call the manufacturer?
Sometimes Iāll use almond or coconut flour as a replacement for wheat flour when Iām cooking. I do not try to pretend that my alternate flour chocolate chip cookies are wheat flour chocolate chip cookies because most people donāt expect to run into coconut or almond when they pick up a chocolate chip cookie. I donāt try to hand them to people, wait for them to eat a cookie, and say āhah, bet you didnāt think gluten free cookies could taste good, huh?ā because if I did that to someone with a severe allergy it could kill them, but also because people should have a say in what theyāre eating.
Iāve got no problem with beyond beef or impossible burger describing their products as meat alternatives, Iāve got no problem with GMOs or the fact that quorn is made out of a heavily engineered protein. Thatās all very neat, actually.
But I do have a problem with people trying to sneakily serve meat alternatives without considering that doing so is shitty for a number of reasons.
Also, insect protein can cause severe reactions to people with shellfish allergies, so thatās another reason not to feed cricket flour to people without telling them.
And by severe reactions to shellfish/insect protein they mean ANAPHYLAXIS.
Thatās medical speak for:
IT CAN KILL YOU.
Anaphylaxis can cause you to have difficulty breathing or stop breathing at all. It can cause a critical drop in blood pressure or send you into medical shock.
Never sneak ingredients into someoneās food. Especially if you know they have dietary restrictions, but even if you donāt know. They may not have told you.
Actually I love the two throuples in Sense8 because one is Kala in love with her husband Rajan but also kinda cheating on him emotionally (and then sexually) with her boyfriend Wolfgang that she's mentally linked with and then when Rajan finally meets his wife's boyfriend his reaction is
And then Lito,Hernando and Dani doing this
@adrenaline-revolver Omg it's her...
the change in tone between iwtv and tvl was one of the most exciting creative decisions i've seen in years. reorienting the style and genre of the entire production around the point of view character's personality works so well to reinforce the central themes: the frailties of memory, the impossibility of escaping your own limited point of view. and frankly it was so so funny. but i also love how it worked to deepen our understanding of the characters: the lush, gothic elegance of the first two seasons isn't the show's "world," that's just what it's like in LOUIS' psyche. one william kisses for the team as always
