Damn, how you doing with the pressure of a thousand suns on your back huh? You're a premium smartass but you're secretly stressed like 80% of the time. You're also blessed with the ability to look hot no matter what you wear
I made another quiz instead of studying. Please pick some things and get a gender.
(the results are probably not accurate at all, but I hope it's still fun)
edit: it's not "real" genders, just the way I perceive gender, very abstract and vibey

I have no idea what happened to you an I am too scared to ask. are you okay? I don't know if you chose these to be edgy or what, it just gives me goosebumps.
I didn’t have enough sleep today

locusimperium:
A few years ago, when I was living in the housing co-op and looking for a quick cookie recipe, I came across a blog post for something called “Norwegian Christmas butter squares.” I’d never found anything like it before: it created rich, buttery and chewy cookies, like a vastly superior version of the holiday sugar cookies I’d eaten growing up. About a year ago I went looking for the recipe again, and failed to find it. The blog had been taken down, and it sent me into momentary panic.
Luckily, I remembered enough to find it on the Wayback Machine, and quickly copied it into a file that I’ve saved ever since. I probably make these cookies about once a month, and they last about five days around my voracious husband - they’re fantastic with a cup of bitter coffee or tea. I’m skeptical that there is something distinctively Norwegian about these cookies, but they do seem like the perfect thing to eat on a cold day.
Norwegian Christmas Butter Squares
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg 1 cup sugar 2 cups flour 1 tsp vanilla ½ tsp salt Turbinado/ Raw Sugar for dusting
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Chill a 9x13″ baking pan in the freezer. Do not grease the pan.
Using a mixer, blend the butter, egg, sugar, and salt together until it is creamy. Add the flour and vanilla and mix using your hands until the mixture holds together in large clumps. If it seems overly soft, add a little extra flour.
Using your hands, press the dough out onto the chilled and ungreased baking sheet until it is even and ¼ inch thick. Dust the top of the cookies evenly with raw sugar.
Bake at 400 degrees until the edges turn a golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let cool for about five minutes before cutting the cooked dough into squares. Remove the squares from the warm pan using a spatula.
So I tried this recipe.
And it is GREAT.
It basically makes the platonic ideal of commercial sugar cookies, only in bar form. When I give them to people (which I do a lot, because this is one of those simple recipes where the results seem very impressive), I just tell them they’re sugar cookie bars.
Life hack: add white chocolate chips and sea salt
I made these today for the equinox with sea salt caramel chips and they are simply amazing. Let’s see how long they last with six people in the house!
Noting for later (as we need more butter for this, and probably won’t do a grocery shopping till the weekend).
The OP version of this has become my go-to cookie for basically all things and I have a whole cohort of friends and colleagues who would murder each other to get them. Haven’t tried any add ons yet, since the base recipe is SO GOOD.
Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

Found this chart! This is gonna be very useful for Bailey and the heroes in the not-too-distant future....
Cheat Sheets for Writing Body Language
We are always told to use body language in our writing. Sometimes, it’s easier said than written. I decided to create these cheat sheets to help you show a character’s state of mind. Obviously, a character may exhibit a number of these behaviours. For example, he may be shocked and angry, or shocked and happy. Use these combinations as needed.
by Amanda Patterson
You guys, this is such a great chart especially for budding writers. Sometimes it’s more effective to show a character being bored or excited or shocked without explicitly saying so.
I love this

it might be just me being dense but there are sus yoichi moments to actually back up the OFA's questionable morals thing??
It's not you being dense, most of it is me just looking at him and being <_<
But there are several things that makes him distrust him.
The first time First is seen in a memory, he explicitly says that meta powers should never be used for personal gains, which always disturbed me because 1. it's coming from someone who doesn't have a meta power 2. it's an attempt at telling people what they can do with their bodies and I am pretty sure the "quirks should be used only to help others" is what led to the anti quirk laws.
In the same scene, First tries to interrupt a deal between AFO and two people. One has a mutation quirk and is ostracized because of it so he wishes to be rid of it because of it while another was attacked by people with powers and wishes for strength so it never happens again. AFO switches them and in exchange, he expects them to back him up. While Yoichi is probably right to say that AFO is doing that only to gain followers... they are adults and the deal isn't unfair per see. To me, it always felt that Yoichi was opposed to it because his brother used his gift to gain powers instead of by altruism.
The memories he shows Izuku are from AFO's POV, which is sus in itself, but they are also carefully pieced together to show AFO at his worst. And I am not saying he isn't a bad guy but said memories showed that the situation was crazy and AFO brought some order. It feels like Yoichi was selling a white and black narrative because he didn't trust Izuku to perceive the nuances of the situation and to come to the conclusion that AFO is a villain on his own.
The fact that Yoichi spoke to Izuku in Jakku to warn him about Tomura is... strange as he had never showed this ability before.
During the whole meeting with all the vestiges, Yoichi tells Izuku this grand secret about how OFA kills everyone who has a quirk and how Izuku is the only one who can handle OFA, which always felt like bullshit to me. The reveal of the big secret that made All Might worried never made sense to me because All Might, who is quirkless and survived decades with OFA, shouldn't worry about Izuku, who is also quirkless. It feels like Yoichi telling Izuku that he is the Chosen One.
During said meeting, where the vestiges don't really want Izuku to save Tomura... First let the other talk and doesn't say what he thinks until Izuku shows conviction that he wants to rescue Shigaraki. Only then did he say that they had his back. Again, it feels like some tiny manipulation to make Izuku believe he is on his side and make him more receptive.
The dreamscape changed dramatically between Izuku's visits. They are inside a vault because it's the only thing that remains and two vestiges were guarding the door. Yoichi is hiding something.
Also, the quirk is haunted and copy and paste personalities, which is just sus.
I spent. all fucking day making this but I’m proud of it so! here! design a love letter, and I’ll tell you what mythical creature you are
demon
You’re a demon! But don’t be put off by that, demons are often misunderstood. You can be a bit volatile, yes, but you’re also mysterious, classy, and, let’s be honest, probably kinda hot. Be careful about not getting too possessive, but otherwise, keep being your melodramatic self
here’s a quiz i made: allow me to assign you a beloved character trope.
7 results: femme fatale, queen, prophet, poet, witch, gentleman thief, and otherworldly spirit in human form. enjoy ✩
Here’s a hot take: villains should be relatable.
Not every villain, not every time, and certainly not to everyone at once, but there should be moments. We should, occasionally, be able to see ourselves in the bad guys, be able to understand how they got there.
Because it reminds us not to fucking go there.
Antis who get upset about villains having relatable qualities (often couched as being “romanticized” or “woobified”) are people who cannot bear to ever think of themselves as having the capability of being wrong.
Every human alive is capable of being a horrible person. Relatable villains remind us to keep an eye on that shit.
I hear a lot of people bitching that they can’t leave kudos multiple times per story, or can’t leave kudos on every chapter, or whatever.
Well, take a page out of this marvelous book, because I swear I’ve never been so happy to receive kudos as waking up to multiple people having done this on multiple chapters on a story I just posted.
The bar just got raised, folks.
Would… would writers be glad to read a comment, that is saying “kudos”?
We’re happy to get a smiley face, honestly. Leaving another kudos like this is great. Anything that tells us we aren’t just screaming into the void
^^^^^ This. Even the smallest comments are golddust.
Seconding, thirding, and fourthing all of this. Saying or typing anything is amazing.
writers are happy with anything that isn’t ‘update pls’ when you just uploaded. type the alphabet and we’ll be grinning like fools cuz ‘sames’.
Dang I know what to do now!!!!
Oh, but you can get creative with your extra kudos!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Feedback means everything to fanfic writers and hitting a like or kudos button doesn’t really give that. Even one word reviews do wonders
As someone who literally left asdfghjkl; as a comment the other day, I really appreciate this post and all its additions.
