Coherent blog theme? Haha, what's that? I will flood your dash, so beware~ I like Danny Phantom & Miraculous Ladybug. And other things. But mostly Danny Phantom. Inconsistent tagging. Profile pic is TT and header is DD from Creamheroes/Kittisaurus/Claire Luvcat
Here's some of the notes, starting with the things multiple people brought up:
SHRIMP COCKTAIL:
banahbanah: #flashback to that one fic where Peter Parker frets about drinking shrimp cocktail because of the alcohol
generaldeliciousness: adding: what a prawn/shrimp cocktail is
#why is your character turning it down because they're under 21 #do you think prawn cocktail is a cocktail #this lives in my brain rent-free constantly #the rest of the fic was so normal #and good enough that i'll still re-read it #but bro
And then many, MANY, people wondering if this was actually authour mistake, since Peter really would do this!
POMEGRANATES:
zhajhassa: #haha where's that post that was like someone describing someone eating a pomegranate but they ate it like an apple
thornhands: #once someone wrote persephone biting into a whole Pomegranate #had to stop and stare at a wall for a minute
sungsingsanguine: I once saw someone very confidently write about a character eating slices of pomegranate.
FRUIT TREES:
zagreuses-toast: #given a very endearing glimpse into a writers blindspots by seeing them describe someone sitting under a ''pineapple tree''
salatrash: I remember something about picking watermelons... OF A FUCKING TREE
baander: #cranberry trees
DOUGH/BATTER:
maycelium: #I'm a chef so I'm really used to people not accurately describing how to cook food #But I was surprisingly flabbergasted when someone was writing making a cake and was kneading it. Which uh #Not necessary for cake. It was interesting for sure but just bizarre
livebloggingmydescentintomadness: #the one that drove me nuts was when a character set aside a batch of PASTA DOUGH 'to rise' #pasta doesn't have yeast!! #it does need to REST but it will never RISE #you do not want an airy crumb on your noodles

SEX:
dykevandyke: #what a prostate is #and where it is located #as in. external.
dreamyeyedrose: #I remember back in the ff.net days reading an Ichigo/Renji fic where the writer assumed the penises go inside each other #and I was like “I mean I don't know how it works for sure I don't have one but idk if that's how it works”

violetfairydust: #i once read a fic where the flight time from london to seattle was 3 hours
purekesseltrash: One time, in a fic set specifically in Des Moines, IA, two of the characters casually drove 20 minutes to the ocean. The memory continues to delight me. I want to know where that author thought that Iowa was.
“I would eat his heart in the marketplace” is legit the most savage line I have ever heard, I’d like to personally thank Shakespeare for putting into words that feeling of rage and protectiveness women get when some fuckboy hurts another woman
Okay first off, I will always reblog this post, but secondly, I went to Shakespeare in the Park tonight to see this and all the women cheered *so loudly* when Beatrice said this line, and the guy in front of me looked around all shocked and a little scared and said “… oh wow” and it was ICONIQUE
So I was hooked on @raayide's Astarion centric fic some rhythm on your blood from the very first chapter, and I knew I had to try binding it even though it is one chonk of a fic. I'm very happy with how this came out, a crisp and satisfying bradel bind <3
Opinion here, I think that food allergies should count as an invisible disability.
If you have a food allergy, you have to put extra time, effort and money into simply getting the nutrition you need to survive, navigating unclear ingredient lists, recipe changes and confusing "may contain" disclaimers. Free from foods, which are foods that have been made without and tested for allergens, often cost far more than regular food items, and are only available for the most common allergens.
You have to be hypervigilant with every product you buy, not just food, since it is not required for companies to clearly state common allergens on cosmetics or medicines, or even in clothes!
Having food allergies also limits you socially (rip to my already socially limited self). Attending any event where food might be involved becomes a nightmare, as you have to plan what you will say to the people making/serving the food, and carry your own backup food. And food is involved in almost any social gathering you can go to. It takes days of planning, often searching for information that is incomplete or not included, to simply go to a restaurant or on holiday. And even if a place seems accessible, you are often met with disappointment on arrival. Trying to manage everyday outings, which should be fun and simple, can become really stressful. You have to carry epinephrine auto injectors with you everywhere, cause you never know if you'll meet an allergen in the wild, which means you have to carry a bag with you all the time :(
I have been stopped at airport security for carrying epinephrine injectors. I have been told I can't take my own food into cinemas (what am I supposed to do, buy food I'm allergic to?). I have been excluded at school, had teachers not understand or just outright ignore my allergies, I've been singled out for being the "allergy kid". I've been told that I can't attend peoples birthday parties because I have allergies and I'm "too difficult". And don't get me started on the bullying. Very few people seem to understand and take allergies seriously.
And allergies are serious. I could die from an allergic reaction if I come into contact with an allergen.
Having food allergies is exhausting and stressful and there isn't enough awareness of them and there aren't enough people and places willing to make accommodations. They limit what I am able to do quite a lot, since I can't eat some things without, um. Dying. And they limit my social life even more. I would say that they disable me.
fucked up the roster for the week and accidentally scheduled two guards who only tell the truth on the same day. fuuuuck now anyone can find out which is the right path to go down
asked my guards what i should do about it and one of them said "stop relying on convoluted puzzles to protect your castle" and the other said "yeah i agree with him" maybe theyre both liars
GUYS you're not going to believe this shit
I was questing near the castle today and came to a fork in the path with two guards. And you know of course it was that whole stupid 'one-always-tells-the truth-the-other-always-lies' shtick.
Anyway, this isn't my first rodeo, I know how you beat this one.
You ask, 'Which path would the other guard say is the safe one?'
and then you go the opposite way. Never fails.
I ask and they both say 'left'. So, I go right, obviously.
Ended up in the fucking moat. What the hell!
