Pre-chopped fruits and veggies make it possible for so many people with various disabilities to prepare healthy meals and maintain their energy.

Thank you, OP.

I stopped being able to slice or grate cheese in any quantity a decade and a half ago. Too hard on my hands, my spine, my hips, plus the clean up. I can make an entire warm sandwich in 5-7 minutes with pre-sliced cheese. I can prep all kinds of things in a few minutes with pre-grated cheese.

Quality pre-prepped cheese is huge for me.

I'm not lazy: my hands don't work well; I'm in pain.

It saves time and effort, which is sometimes in short supply.

Sometimes it doesn't even cost significantly more than buying the labor intensive version, and even if it does, I sometimes find it a fair trade. I'm not by any means rich, but I'm well enough off that I don't have to buy the cheapest version of every food I want to eat.

I really don't have much going on in my life, except the horrors, so when people ask me questions it feels like a test of some kind

The wonderful Mira from Blanc LaBelle and the Troll's Daughter by the wonderful Nicholas Westbrook

I loved this book and the characters. Mira is my favourite though. Can't wait to read the next book honestly!!!!!

I'm still getting used to this style of art? It doesn't feel like mine, but I'm trying to dabble with different styles and colouring. I spent so long being unable to draw due to mental health that I no longer know what "my style" is. But hoping these experiments will let me find it again.

Three of Swords

For my second senior thesis, I’ll be completing the Suit of Swords from the Minor Arcana Tarot card deck! It’s an excuse to draw sad fantasy knights

looking it up, apparently this was an artist who made signs like this to parody the actual city council's signage, just told apart by his logo in the corner, "christchurch city confusion", and they had locals rly confused for a bit. my favorite is this one!

BBC Merlin is insane as a show. Its an adaptation of Arthurian mythos. It's inspired by CW's Smallville (this is 100% real look it up). it stars 4 unknown 20 somethings and British acting legends. It's aimed at kids and families. its a tragedy. Its campy as hell. It will make you cry. It asks you, like Merlin, to believe in the Golden age of Camelot. It never shows you that Golden age. Everyone in the show is the most beautiful person you'll ever see. people will clown on the CGI. Its one of the most homerotic shows of the 2000's. Its an on purpose allegory for queerphobia, but those allegorious queer characters are largely villains. If you watched it when you were 12 you will never quite be able to let it go. This is a curse. This is an experience you wouldn't give up for the world.

Grace being aroace, and Project Hail Mary's focus on platonic relationships, is so important to me, for so many reasons.

It's like. Project Hail Mary is a big, popular movie. It has fucking Ryan Gosling in it. And there's not a hint of a romance plotline anywhere! It's all entirely focused on platonic relationships. The friendship between Grace and Rocky is the focus of the movie, and it's so important to the story. They both found someone to be brave for, someone they were willing to die for. Without their friendship and collaboration, neither of them would have been able to save their home planets. Their bond is so close and special and above all their best friends, and it's beautiful.

There's also Grace's relationship with Stratt. Stratt is the main female supporting character. In any other story -- any other story -- I can almost guarantee she would've been the love interest. But she isn't and it's fucking wonderful. Just. Just think about it for a moment. Project Hail Mary is this big blockbuster movie -- and it looked at Eva Stratt and said, we're not going to make her the love interest, because she wasn't in the book and she doesn't need to be. Their dynamic is just as fucked up and wonderful and traumatic when they're friends. That's such an amazing thing to see in such a mainstream movie.

And, of course, it means so much to me that Grace is aroace and that the film (and the book) continuously point this out. He leaves the party when he sees people getting together. He's only had one girlfriend. Half the time he's wearing the colors of the aroace flag. (In the book, he's incredibly confused when people think he and Stratt are sleeping together).

Stratt uses his lack of romantic relationships as a justification for sending him to die, which is heartbreaking, and it felt so real. Because society is constantly telling aroace people that we're worth less because we won't date or get married or have sex, because we don't fit into societal norms. What Stratt said to Grace -- that's something the world is constantly telling us.

And then the movie flips that on its head. It says that it doesn't matter that Grace never had any of that, because he loved living and he loved his students and he was so full of love for everything around him. And he met his best friend in space and their friendship was what made them able to save their homes and each other.

It's just. In a world where there's hardly any aroace representation, having this much of it means so much to me.
