i think older ladynoir would be so bad at secret relationships for a plethora of reasons but one of them is that neither of them know how to shut the fuck up about each other. they'll be hanging out at alya's place and chat noir will find a random bra on the floor and be like "wait isn't this ladybug's?" an interviewer will teasingly ask ladybug her favourite physical characteristic of chat noir and she thinks she's being soo smart in dodging the bait by replying with "oh he has a cute birth mark just above the dimples in his back š" theyll say the most out of pocket-ly intimate things about each other like it is NOTHING
These solar eclipse shadows form due to the distance between the sun and the leaves on the trees. The distance and the proximity of the leaves to one another cause for a "lensing" type effect, making the eclipse shadow clearer to the human eye.
I feel like asking Tumblr specifically if they're aware of a myth that revolves around romantic notions of sacrificing freedom and trusting the person you love to not abuse your trust and being so devoted to someone you'll hand over the most precious thing you own and also hot naked ladies is not a good test of something being common knowledge.
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Function: The vigilance over and protection of relationships that are valuable to us.
Over-reaction: When jealousy compounds upon itself, it can grow into paranoia and obsession; this desire to protect valued relationships can backfire and cause the relationships to deteriorate.
Envy
Function: Motivates you to try harder to achieve your goals.
Over-reaction: Envy and jealousy are closely related. Similar to how anger is a secondary emotion (which stems from other emotions), envy can turn into jealousy when your response is not to improve yourself, but rather to steal/covet anotherās achievements/belongings.
Compassion
Function: Allows you to consider and become concerned with anotherās experience (without necessarily āfeelingā what the other feels, as with empathy). May lead to a desire to help them improve their experience.
Over-reaction: An over-abundance of compassion (or empathy) can lead to feeling guilty/responsible for anotherās feelings/experience. You may feel obligated to put others before yourself at all times, causing yourself to suffer in order to aid others.
Nostalgia
Function: The function of nostalgia is a bit harder to pin down; however, scientists believe that āpowerful nostalgic memories can help us cope with transition in our lives, give us comfort, and help our sense of identity.ā
Over-reaction: May cause you to remember things āthrough rose-colored glassesāāeffectively altering your memory of events. In the past, some theorists believed nostalgia was āa retreat in the face of uncertainty, stress or unhappiness.ā In essence, an over-abundance of nostalgia may cause you to alter your perception of potentially important events to make them seem better than they really were, and over-indulging in the feeling may lead to you becoming detached from your current actions.
When I was little my momās meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didnāt like anyone elseās, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay
Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so hereās the recipe
4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger
1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix
1 TBs ketchup
1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,
1 Tbs bbq sauce
1 Tbs steak sauce
1 egg
mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if youāre feeling dangerous)
You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if itās just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf

5. add the other stuff. Keep mashing
I like my mashed potato consistancy more lumpy but its all up to you!! Peel the potatoes or keep them on, it literally makes the creamiest fluffiest mashed potatoes which she always served with the nastiest fuckin meatloaf
Got room for desert? Cus my Grandma was just a generaly evil old hag who was abusive to my mum and my siblings also you guessed it since I came out I was not said hello to at christmas

So, I never came out to my evil grandmother, for two reasons. One, my dad asked me please not to because he didnāt want to deal with her shit, and two, see āevilā. Not fucking worth it. I was glad she died before I got married.
These were her mamaās biscuits, and her mama was a mean old woman, too. Iāll spite āem both and post it for yāall.
Angel Biscuits
2 pkg. yeast
1 T. warm water
2 T. sugarāØāØ5 C. sifted flour
3 t. baking powder rounded
1 1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda rounded
1 C. shortening or oleo
2 C. buttermilk
Dissolve yeast in water and sugar. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and soda into a large bowl. Cut in shortening. Add buttermilk and yeast mixture. Mix well.
Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead 2 or 3 times.
Roll dough out 1/2 inch thick. Cut biscuits. Let set 45 minutes to 1 hour to rise.
Bake at 400F. for 12-15 minutes.
Note: Dough may be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until needed.
Since someone mentioned a revenge green bean casserole, here you go.
I follow my evil grandmother's recipe this way, and it turns out rather well for me, every harvest time holiday, but one can always replace the canned beans with frozen or fresh. 'Cause gods know fresh always tastes better, when you can afford it.
1 can green beans, long cut
1 can mushroom soup
2 tablespoons dried minced onions
1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
1 container of French's fried onions (canned goods aisle, usually, if you've never seen these)
Preheat to 325. Mix the beans, the soup, the minced onions, and the minced garlic. Pour into your baking dish. Bake this thing for about 30 minutes (longer if you needed a giant batch or if it hasn't turned a bit golden across the top; I am the most haphazard of cooks), and then add the French's fried onions across the top. Put the mess back in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the fried onions look crispy. Not burned, just crispy.
Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I always do.
Alpha-17 and Obi-Wan being friends (derogatory) on 17's part and friends (threatening) on Obi-Wan's part is such an underrated dynamic
They could be so funny and terrifying, like Obi-Wan went through a soul shredding experience with Alpha-17 as his only company. They're friends because what else are you gonna be after you witness each other at absolute rock bottom from torture.
It's like 'dog put in cage of cheetah who's threatening to go crazy', except the dog is a grizzly bear and also threatening to go crazy.
Emotional support trooper except the trooper in question has never done any sort of supporting in his life and is actively an emotional distress trooper to a great number of the CC batch.
I want them texting everyday, I want Obi-Wan mailing handmade BFF bracelets to Alpha and Alpha sending pics back of him flipping off the camera but still wearing them, I want Alpha using Obi-Wan to keep track of and occasionally terrorize his cadets, I want 17 ending problems in the GAR (like Krell) before they begin because Obi-Wan has him shipped out on a personal transport at the first opportunity, decked out with slug-throwers Obi-Wan got him for his decant-day.
Natborn officers think this is all just an odd indulgence of General Kenobi, the Vode, however, correctly identify it as a goddamn threat and their danger assessment of Obi-Wan ticks up significantly.
When Alpha arrives on Kamino, Shaak Ti presses a shiny new comm into his hand. It has the Jedi Order symbol painted onto it alongside a smiley face sticker, and it pings immediately with a new message: Hello! I hope you're settling in well!
Alpha stares at the message, stares at the singular contact named 'OWK' and then stares Shaak Ti in the eye as he pitches the comm straight into the ocean. Shaak Ti's serene smile only grows larger as she calmly reaches into her robes and pulls out an identical comm, only this one has a frowny face sticker, and presses it into his hand. It lights up: I'm afraid we've bonded, Alpha :). Alpha shuts it off and pockets it with resignation.
Cody arrives on Alpha-17's personal recommendation.
A-17: He's the most difficult little bastard I have. You're perfect for each other.
OWK: Thank you, he's very handsome :3
A-17: No. Stop.
The first thing he asks once he gets comfortable is who his general is texting so much that has him swinging his legs and twirling his hair. Cody assumes it's Anakin, given they seem joint at the hip anyway, but little does he know Obi-Wan's ability to consistently have the Weirdest Relationships Ever.
"Oh, it's Alpha-17, I understand you're familiar with each other?" Hmm. OK. Cody.exe is experiencing a processing error, please hold. He exits the room instead of answering. The next day he peeks over the General's shoulder when he's texting and sees walls of rambling messages from Obi-Wan. Alpha-17 replies every hour with a single text: Lose this number. Obi-Wan giggles. "He's so funny." he says.
When Obi-Wan meets the rest of the CC batch, Cody makes sure to stand perfectly angled so that he can record the reactions when his general cuts off their introductions with "Oh, no need, Alpha-17's told me all about you." It's always immediate FEAR.JPG followed by a slow spiral of What The Fuck.
What do you mean by that General. What does that mean Cody. What do you mean they text. No. Cody. What the fuck is happening, Cody. Alpha-17 doesn't have friends he has enemies and enemies he tolerates enough not to shoot on sight.
OWK: Wolffe reached for his vambrace? when I mentioned you
A-17: That's where he keeps his spare knife.
OWK: Hm that does explain the way he eyed me up, ambitious.
A-17: Clearly not enough, he should have followed through. I taught them better.
