#as happens

Will be updating the time travel fic soon, hopefully within a week or so. As it turns out I desperately needed to write 4.5k of post-canon emotional hurt comfort real quick first.

Apologies to anyone who follows me on FB and thus has already seen this, but I’m so tickled by it that I have to share it with Tumblr as well: I was reading up on types of sauces, and the wiki for espagnole includes this bit of (possibly fake?  who knows) etymology from Eneas Dallas’s Kettner’s Book of the Table: When the Bourbons made their way to the Spanish throne under Louis XV, and when Spanish fashions came back to Paris, the French cooks took a hint from the Spanish pot-au-feu—the olla podrida—and produced a variation of their brown sauce which they called "Spanish". The essential principle of the French pot-au-feu was beef; the essential principle of the Spanish was bacon, ham, the red Estremadura sausage—all well smoked... The Duc de St. Simon sent home marvellous accounts of the hams of Montanches; there grew up a rage for Spanish hams; and the French were not to blame, for they have no hams of their own which have any reputation. Great as they are in pig's flesh, they are poor hands at bacon and ham; and the treasures of Montanches were a revelation to them. They ran wild after ham... And so, by introducing the flavour of the Estremadura bacon and ham into the old brown sauce of the French, there came into being the Spanish sauce... The hams of Montanches are not too plentiful in this world of sorrow, and the cooks came to be satisfied with any ham—even with French ham, which is little better than salted pork. So the meaning of the prescription was lost; the peculiarity of the Spanish sauce passed away, and its name became a puzzle.

When youre at a friend's house for dinner and you gotta pretend like their cooking is the best thing ever when ur taste buds are actually Dying

[trilies]

when you told yourself you were going to go to sleep an hour ago

but instead spent that time making an admittedly passive aggressive shitpost for the morning

(admittedly, i was always going to make a shitpost after seeing a certain text post months ago, but kept forgetting)

(so sometimes anons end up being that final push that has you making something at midnight)

I know you're writing about them at the moment, but do you have any headcanons for Lara and Jor-El? Especially Lara? Because all the material I find is all about Jor and honestly it gets a little tiring! Thanks!

here is a little bit about sorrowverse lara and jor-el, which may not be useful outside of sorrowverse but so it goes:

lara married into the house of el, which was A Whole Thing

she was born and raised to be a kind of genetic engineer? her job was supposed to be designing children

this is very hard to explain without getting wanky about how i fic krypton and kryptonian society lmao sorrryyyyy

(tl;dr they live on a crystalline planet orbiting a red giant only survivable underground) (for kryptonians anyway) (plenty of weird shit lives up top)

anyway she broke off her arranged marriage and ran away from polite society to live with Those El People and specifically that big crazy fucker that likes to build rockets

her actual passion which she could not pursue until she joined the house of el was basically wildlife biology, using her knowledge of genetics etc to study animals

she thinks animals are just. the coolest. her dream is to catalogue the genetic code and probable evolutionary line of as many animals as she possibly can, mapping out history through the life it produced

their marriage is also a working relationship, in that he builds drones and she uses them to track and study wildlife in a way that would normally be impossible

think about the stereotype of the kind of person who plays a lot of dating sims but doesn’t really like to interact with other people

there is an equivalent stereotype on krypton and that was basically lara until she met a dude who did not realize she was a weird nerd because he was from the house of the weird nerds

the house of el doesn’t design their kids and jor-el is the peak of what kryptonians outside the house find confusing and terrifying t b h

he’s built like a soldier but he’s a rocket scientist and that’s just bizarre, he’s obviously going to be too aggressive to make things, just look at him

to be fair he does love explosions but who doesn’t

lara doesn’t always understand the house of el but she is doing her best and everyone has been very nice about it

even if she really doesn’t get the rao thing

what year is it. who still believes in rao. science exists and their planet is made of acid and broken glass lit by a red death orb. who can believe in prehistoric deities at a time like this.

jor-el’s got enough faith for both of them and he's very proud of his quiet cranky atheist wife and if he has his way they’re going to have a million beautiful genius babies
