Red Planet...ish

I was making some honeyed carrots with rainbow carrots and this is what was left behind in the pan. I just think it looks neat. The Red Planet! Or a Blood Moon?

Vampire Simon, meet werefox Grace. Will I do a body horror transformation? Who knows. I sure am awful at body horror 😂😂 I just thought the concept of grace using a period tracker for moon cycles was funny.

I subscribe to the belief that Rocky was not popular on Erid (except with Adrian, he was very popular with Adrian, Adrian loves their social outcast freak partner) and I think it is very funny to imagine how the rest of Erid reacts when their (apparently last surviving?? They sent over 20 eridians what the fuck happened??) saviour of their species is the guy they all thought would die first and he arrives on a whole new ship (where the fuck did he get that?? He's an engineer, did he build a new fucking ship up there??) and now he doesn't wear clothes anymore and is speaking overly simplified Eridian like a pebble and weirdest of all he has seemingly kidnapped a dying alien and is now demanding all of Erid fix the abominable leaky space blob or Rocky will withhold the cure for the universe

I think this ship (spaceship) is really funny

Fem Shen Yuan who gets snatched up from the disciple selection bc Qi Qingqi bc she’s not giving anyone else a chance to snatch a girl disciple from her

And everyone knows Xian Shu is known for their beauties and then there’s the new little black sheep. She’s pretty but she doesn’t try to do anything with her appearance and more often than not she’s getting herself into more trouble than she means to (that’s partially where the black sheep nickname comes from bc her luck is just horrendous and others know) and of course, some people are mean and make fun of her “plain” appearance and how she doesn’t try but the Xian Shu girls LOVE HER

She lets them practice hair styles on her bc she can’t be bothered to do her own hair, lets them practice make up, and she’s a great tutor when it comes to academics (i think it would be cool if she had an eidetic memory), a prodigy really. And best of all, she’s the best editor and critic on the peak for the book club. If you’re looking for a specific book she either has it or knows where to get it. Her yellow book collection is astonishing.

And then Luo Binghe meets her. Shen Yuan is making a delivery of textbooks (yellow books) to tutor Ning Yingying (talk about smut) and Yingying introduces them and Shen Yuan sees Binghe’s manual and is like “dude this is the most incorrect thing I’ve ever seen” so she takes up tutoring him and to Binghe he has just met the nicest, more beautiful fairy ever and he loves her big glasses and her messy robes and that she never wears her hair up because sometimes when they’re doing physical practice like sword forms and stuff she lets him comb it and put it up so it’s out of the way

UGH THEM I just love that Binghe would love Shen Yuan regardless of gender or form they mean so much to me

As American As Apple Pie

This is an okay recipe. Once again, I would like to have words with the editor of this book, because butter is listed twice in the ingredients and brown sugar not at all. I rate this 7/10, if I need to make an apple pie again I will use a proven, better written recipe. Edit 7/9/26.

Finally figured out how to permanently disable google assistant on phone

[astronomicpopcorn]

You can't just post this and not tell us how man

[oldsgie-deactivated20260302]

Instead of being in settings its in the google app. Also, google, not chrome. Icon is a G, not the circle thing. Click on your pfp to open a menu

From there, go Settings > Gemini > Digital Assistants > Switch to Google Assistant. This disables Gemini, google's AI assistant, and switches you back to the old one. We aren't done yet.

Go back to Settings. From there, we go Settings > Google Assistant > scroll to find General > Google Assitant on/off > turn it off

They really tried their best to make it a pain, but you can eventually disable it. Holding the power button on your phone still pulls up a menu and asks you to turn it back on, but this is the least intrusive you can make it.

Applies to all non-apple phones afaik. For sure Samsungs and Pixels but idrk about others

Edit: thank you my friend @/teeth-kid for confirming that this also works on Motorola

[parrhesiac]

I thank you, my wife thanks you, and as for the reblog chain, that goes without saying.

Butternut Squash Soup

Slightly sweet. Very simple to make though I had to double the cook times to get the vegetables soft enough for the blender. Will *probably* make again, want to try with acorn squash.

Brotherhood Jambalaya

This stuff is Very good. Spicy, but not the sort of heat that lingers too long. Will be making again.

saw the sun today, may not recover

A type of mulled wine, very bitter at first blush. I blame the orange peel. Adding extra simple syrup and letting it chill for another 24 hours really helped bring out the vanilla and cinnamon.
