Does anyone else feel, like, a weird inhibition against starting new TV shows?  Like, there are shows I want to watch but when I think about sitting down to start it something in me goes “no you can’t just do that.”  What am i waiting for?  I feel like I need to prepare?  Brain:  You have to wait.  Me:  Wait for what???  Brain:  WAIT

[yourrealitybeyondtime]

I found out recently that it’s due to not having enough emotional or mental space to process something new. Got too much going on in your own head/real life already.

[elidyce]

Me: I would like to experience this new thing.

My Brain:… no.

Me: Why not?

My Brain: Can’t do it. Not today.

Me: Whyyyyyyyy?

My Brain: Because we are processing at capacity and one more stream is going to crash the whole system. 

Me, aloud: I’m not in the mood to try (new thing) right now.

[seashells-and-bookshelves]

THIS IS A REAL THING??? ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!!?

[theeternalspace]

Wow. that explains… so much

[they-callme-ami]

No wonder I can barely start new anime or cartoons anymore.

This also can be a very common issue for people with ADHD or other conditions that cause emotional dysregulation, even if you’re not actively Going Through Something at the time. Like, the knowledge that it’s going to evoke an emotional response in you means you’re more likely to keep putting it off because you have trouble returning to an equilibrium after an emotional spike. Like, shows that I have been REALLY INTO, like SUPER INVESTED, with lots of feelings involved – I have to take breaks between new episodes of it and go back to watching things I’ve already watched before that I know how they end, and I’m prepared for the emotions that go with them, to give myself a break from the emotional spikes and exhaustion of being surprised – even pleasantly – by the media I’m watching.

[netheritenugget]

Oh gdi…

[lyrslair]

It is worth noting, though, that technically at the present time we ARE all going through something (though the ADHD folks may notice we had this problem pre-pandemic as well).

Part of it for me is also I am running on such low bandwidth that I keep having to pause, rewind, and go back because my attention lapsed in the middle of trying to watch a new show.

It’s actually really funny how many cultures have fox spirits and how many mostly consider them Complete Assholes, whether actively malicious or just dickheads that trick people

You’ve got the Kitsune that can be anywhere from incomprehensibly evil and powerful to doting mothers and good wives, 

You’ve got the Huli Jing in China which were believed to be entirely female and needed male energy to survive, and did so by corrupting high-level politicians- and the Jiuweihu, the big girls that took to leading souls away from Dharma,

You’ve got the Gumiho in Korea, who just straight up eat people’s livers or steal their life force,

In Scandinavia, specifically Finland, fox spirits were believed to be the cause of Aurora Borealis, revontulet, the “fox fire”, as well as just usually messing with people, and then also the Brunnmigi for the Norse which poisoned water because fuck you,

The Celts also attributed them to be wily little bastards that existed to make fools of hunters and apparently that’s where the word “Shenanigan” came from, originally being sionnachuighim, “I play the fox” in irish gaelic,

In Europe you’ve got Reynard the asshole baron, 

and from what I’ve seen a lot of native american tribes also just consider them dicks on the level of coyotes 

it’s like every human that sees one of these

is just like “wow, what an asshole”, it’s great

[alexaloraetheris]

Okay, so, I have no leg to stand on when it comes to history, but I have encountered many a fox in my childhood and have plenty of neighbors with farms who have plenty to say about foxes, so I may shed some light on why every single human who saw a fox declared it a bastard.

It has to do with two things:

1) Foxes are notorious thieves, because why would you invest energy into running something down and then fighting it to death for dinner, if you can take someone else’s dinner with much less effort? So foxes steal any livestock they can, because to them human farms are like an all you can eat buffet. All of the prey animals are corralled in, fat and much slower than those in the woods. It’s practically an invitation!

This has, as you can imagine, rather vexed every single farmer in the history of farming. Probably longer. And the more used to humans they are, the more audacious foxes are. Which brings us to the next point.

2) Foxes laugh. Go ahead, google a video. What does it sound like? That’s right, suspiciously like laughter. Suspiciously like mocking laughter.

It’s not actually laughter, or at least not in the way humans use that word, but to an average human who has not been poisoned by the horrors of biological sciences, it sure sounds like laughter.

So imagine this: you’re a farmer. You have chickens that you care for and care about. You want them fat and happy to lay you eggs and one day become dinner. They are your chickens, and you guard them jealously.

Enter something red and furry and hungry. It burrows under your defenses and sends your chickens into a frenzy. You run out to defend them but the damage has already been done. There are blood and feathers everywhere and there, over the hill and just out of your reach, is the blasted red furry thing, mouth full of your beloved chickens, and it only lets them down on the ground long enough to laugh at you before running away with them.

Damn right you are going to tell all of your buddies what a bastard that fox was, and they are going to nod and agree and lament about all the other red bastards that have stolen their chickens.

And when your children ask you why you hate those bastardous foxes so much, you are going to sit them down and tell them all about it.

And that is how foxes have gained their reputation as Complete Assholes all around the world. Because humans laid out a buffet, and then got mad foxes helped themselves to it.

Was thinking about how Yuka was judging Yatora for being a social smoker and looking down on him for being a people pleaser (even if it's ruining his health), then goes ahead and does Japanese art for her grandmother and ruining her mental health.

And he’s upset why?

[clueingforbeggs]

This is a behind the scenes from a TV show. He’s the guy who plays the character whose gravestone it is. He’s mad that people are memeing a behind the scenes photo of a fictional character’s death because he happens to play that character.

[analog-machine]

I’m not sure if I should laugh or hit my head on the desk over this one.

[a-little-bit-scary]

The face I just made 🙄

[peregrinsonofpaladin]

My favourite part that this is leaving out is that by the end he and the rest of the cast weren’t getting along and they did a full on photoshoot in front of his grave.

[starcunning]

if he doesn’t want us to use THAT photo, it seems like we’ve got three malicious-compliance-ready replacements right here

I showed this tiktok to my grandma to make her laugh, but now she’s all excited and actually wants to make a chocolate potato cake. We’re gonna do it.

I’ll keep everyone posted.

[kirain]

It’s happening, folks!

[kirain]

Looks good, but we’re not done yet!

Our sweet, sweet child needs to cool before we add the finishing touches!

[kirain]

My creation is complete!

After dinner, we’ll give it a taste test!

I wonder how it’ll taste.

[kirain]

Oh…

My…

God.

It’s incredible!

This stupid cake, made with potatoes … is delicious! It’s so sweet, moist, and decadent, just like a brownie! And I don’t even like chocolate or potatoes!

The recipe from the tiktok was pretty much impossible to find. I looked high and low, but everyone posted recipes that I KNOW he didn’t use because the ingredients and methods were different. After some searching, my grandma and I came up with our own recipe.

For the Cake:

1 cup mashed potato

2 cups sour cream

1 ¾ cup flour

1 ¾ cup sugar

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup softened butter

2 eggs

1 ½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

Pinch of salt

For the Drizzle:

4 oz semi-sweet chocolate

½ cup sugar

3 tbsp corn syrup

2 tbsp water

A lot of recipes called for a mixer or a processor, but my grandma and I wanted to make an every-man kind of recipe, since we know not everyone has those things. Plus they’re heavy and a pain to clean anyway, so bowls it is!

Instructions:

1. Peel and boil the potato, then mash it. Set aside to cool. Go to the bathroom, do your homework, then come back. That should be enough time.

2. Set oven to 350°F.

3. Cream butter. This means putting the sugar and butter into a bowl and mashing it together with a fork until it’s thoroughly mixed.

3. Put everything else in the same bowl, including the mashed potato. Mix and stir well. Work those muscles!

4. Grease a pan (doesn’t matter what kind you use) and spatula batter into pan. Even out if necessary.

5. Bake in oven for 40 minutes.

6. Test cake with pick. If nothing sticks, it’s finished. If batter does stick to pick, let it bake a bit longer but make sure it doesn’t burn. Remove and set aside to cool.

For the Drizzle:

1. Cut chocolate into tiny squares.

2. In a small pot, mix sugar, corn syrup, and water.

3. On medium heat, wait for mixture to sizzle and stir it. Do NOT let it boil.

4. Remove from element and add chocolate.

5. Wait for squares to melt, then mix.

6. Drizzle or pour over cake.

Enjoy!

I’m so glad there’s a recipe now, I really want to try this!

[keepcalmandcarriefischer]

Hey here is a thing that happened. We went for a simple ganache for the glaze. Heated 1 cup of cream till hot then poured over 1 cup of semisweet and 1 cup of milk chocolate chips. Whisk untill melted and pour over your chocolate mash potato cake

[thefringeperson]

Found the original recipe!  (Apparently it was listed as a caramel potato cake in the original recipe book???  Anyway, now there’s two CPC recipes!)

Chocolate Potato Cake

½ cup butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs ½ cup milk ½ cup hot riced potatoes [just pure potato, mashed, no milk or butter or pepper or salt or whatever, just pure mashed potato] 1 cup flour 2 tsp baking powder ½ tsp cinnamon ½ tsp clove ½ tsp nutmeg ½ cup grated chocolate ½ cup chopped nut meats [optional, never ever feel pressured to add nuts to your chocolate cake, our guy here didn’t!]

Just… put everything into the mixing bowl in that order, with lots of mixing in between each addition.

Into a greased and/or lined tin, and then into a moderate oven for 55 minutes (or until cooked).

Frosting

2 Tbs butter 1 cup sugar ¼ cup milk 1 square unsweetened chocolate ½ tsp vanilla [also optional, since again, not mentioned by our maker here!]

Boil, but be careful it doesn’t burn. …Basically?  Stir constantly!  (also, apparently the vanilla only gets added after the mix is taken off the heat…)

[thefringeperson]

He did a long-form!  He explained the steps!
