Stuff I tag for

I realized I have never formally said what all of my tags are, so I'll post these here and pin it to my blog to update as needed. They are mostly hyperfixations so oops.

Also if you want me to tag things, let me know!

HMC Posting - tag for anything about the Howl's Moving Castle book since I sometimes will go on benders and mass reblog things about it.

Hamefura - Tag for the anime My New Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom. Katarina makes me very happy and I'll post most things about it that I come across.

The Grinning Man - tag about the musical The Grinning Man. Don't talk about thus as much anymore, but that could change at any moment. No one knows if/when I'll start mass posting about it again.

Vtuber Hell - tag for anything with Vtubers, 99% the Hololive girls. My current Big Thing, so RIP your dash if you don't wanna see this.

Moths - tag for... Well, moths. A request from an anon

My OCs - tags for anything concerning my OCs.

little miss auditory processing disorder would like you to repeat what you just said then immediately respond to you before you finish

fuuuck I could use a mysterious benefactor right now

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

yokowan

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

le-jardin-inculte

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

shithowdy

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

whitachi

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

araceil

At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.
