@clari-clyde replied to your post:@clari-clyde replied to your post:what a fucking…...
notice Wallace asks her a more complex question on Syria than he asked You-Know-Who.
thats because she actually fucking listens to the question before interrupting him and then has an actual answer
@clari-clyde replied to your post:what a fucking… idiot.
I am not watching, only listening. Is it worse watching the debate live? Does he look especially more smug and / or angry?
he is so.... infuriating
two days late but that Supergirl episode sucked
The massive, racist bullshit that was ending Kara/James in the weakest, laziest way possible. They kiss after a season of interest, mentions of the word love, and tension/angst, and then 12 hours later she decides they work better as friends. And while apparently he's getting the role as *spoiler*, it feels like their fading him out of the show, (esp considering with the reporter move and Cat's flashbulb and Winn's new career they are getting rid of a lot of the office ties the show has.)
[this also makes me even less hopeful about how they're going to treat the new characters]
Speaking of, she becomes a reporter? She's an executive assistant to a high level CEO, (which the show seems to forget a lot), those skills translate a lot more to a position in the charity arm of the company than to a reporter. And hey, as someone working for the charity she can still have run-ins with Lena Luthor - whose company goal is to do good - which is partly what the motive behind this career turn seems like. That and she needs to match her cousin, which -
She is the main star of the show. I thought they mostly (stress that word) balanced Superman's presence in the first season, but between the over hyped promotion and his too heavy presence in this episode, it makes it seem like she's following his footsteps. They did no build-up to turn her interest into journalism, and there are a million ways to help people beyond that.
Cat Grant panting after Clark? Ha no, not even for the gag. Winn fanboying makes sense, that fits his character. Cat chasing after a guy like that is off, but esp the guy in love with Lois Lane who she hates? (And what is that? Lois Lane - who was always the stronger reporter - is pettily disliked, but Clark Kent is God's gift to journalism? No.)
"I taught myself Kryptonian!" -> he has actual skills the DEO would be interested in, this was just so unnecessary. (He learned this dead language how?)
It’s great for Kara to have someone who speaks her language, considering it’s possibly Clark, her murderous Uncle, and maybe the new pod guy, but how did he learn this language? When? Is this ever going to come up beside him sometimes recognizing some words?
honestly everyone and their mother knows that Alex and Supergirl are sisters, and that Kara and Alex are sisters, and that Kara and Clark are cousins, and that Supergirl and Superman are cousins, so we better hope no one at the DEO decides to use that "secret" information. (they are so careless about names, which isn't new but continuously bugs me; I really appreciated that she told the people she trusted immediately - in direct opposition to like, all male superheroes - but that doesn't mean everyone should know because you can't keep a secret.)
I thought Lena Luthor was behind the attacks against herself; while I have no feelings about that not being true, the fact it didn’t occur to anyone as a possibility was ridiculous
explosion on a vehicle she wasn’t on, bullets that don’t hit her (but kill her pilot) before the Supes get there, timed explosion while she’s on the platform so she had enough time to get away, and shot the guy before he could be taken and maybe turned to tell them the truth. She gets great PR and a mark of trustworthiness.
the dynamic between Kara and Clark was disappointing, and something about Superman came off as smug.
There were a few things I liked - mainly Alex & J’onn, Alex & Kara, and Clark & Jimmy, and I like the idea of the dislike/distrust between Clark & J’onn even if it was brushed over too fast - but it was an extremely disappointing episode, and how they wrote off James soured the show to me.
@clari-clyde replied to your post: Top five foods and why.
Pierogi sounds amazing, too bad I know of no eastern european restaurants near me. That said, I’d prefer if there were such things as an eastern european grocery store with a deli, like the filipino and chinese grocery stores. Pierogi sounds like something I’d love to order up like chicharon or chow mein or dim sum. Is pierogi a casual food? And I thought holopchi was made of cabbages?
Pierogi are great, but I think it depends on the situation whether they are casual or not (in my family, of course). If we’re teaching someone, than we end up making huge batches that we freeze and eat whenever. But otherwise we usually only end up doing them for holidays or picnics or something (we still freeze them after making huge batches, ofc). It’s not necessarily a cultural thing to only do it for events, I don’t think, it’s more of a time sort of thing. They don’t take too long, really, but my grandma is sort of a perfectionist, so it can take twice as long and by then we’re already dragging her late to the party (my family is perpetually late, though, so nbd).
Holopchi is made of cabbage, but there’s also stuff inside of the cabbage. What is put inside varies, in that different families have slightly different methods, and different moods call for different things. Inside there’s rice, and usually some form of meat (ground, usually, but it can be a variety of ground meat - my grandma prefers ground sausage or if we’re broke regular ground chuck, but I know people who use all sorts of other meats, and don’t forget the joy of bacon). Fake meat inside is alright, but it doesn’t have the same kick.
Mind you, I’m third generation Ukrainian-American, so everything I say should be taken with a huge grain of salt (and the opinions of actual Eastern Europeans and Ukrainians to trump it, lol).

Top five foods and why.
1. Spaghetti - IDEK. It’s yummy? Especially homemade. And I’m pretty decent at homemade (go ahead and fight me!).
2. Pierogi - My grandma is amazing at these, and though I’m rubbish, they still taste great and remind me of home and my childhood. Vegan ones aren’t as classic, but still yummy.
3. Holopchi - Same as the above. The whole family lost their shit when my grandma would make it. My vegan version is alright, but I’ll never master it like my grandma.
4. Bean Curd Homestyle - My favorite Chinese take-out. So yummy, so long as the place knows how to cook their tofu.
5. Sheppard’s Pie - This one was originally from my MiL’s recipe, but my wife has found her own version that she likes best, and it’s FANTASTIC. I’m awful at cooking it - the last time I screwed up so bad I was worried I’d given us food poisoning (turns out we were both sick for different reasons).
Runner-up (I wasn’t sure if it would count or not): CHOCOLATE!!!!! ANYTHING WITH CHOCOLATE!!!! YUMMY CHOCOLATE-Y GOODNESS!!!! (THOUGH PLEASE NO DAIRY, OH GODS NO DAIRY.)
ASK ME MY TOP FIVE ANYTHING
clari-clyde answered your question “finally saw the finale. super annoyed we don’t get Jax and his...”
Ditto in The Flash, we didn’t get his mother there either. In all of DC:CW, we never get his mothers name even though we get his grandmother’s.
:( This show isn’t always good about balancing the characters and it tends to be especially bad with him. (Well, and Carter. He spends a lot of time dead or brainwashed/locked up and/or off screen.) Because this isn’t just “saving the world” or “finishing the mission,” but the decision to leave indefinitely to watch the timeline (and maybe next time Rip decides to drop them off ten years later because of some other bullshit reason Arrow caused.) There really needed to be a scene of Jax exploring his choice (because this time it is his choice, and he isn’t being drugged by his partner) and the best person to have that conversation with is his mom.
energetic, sunny, enthusiastic.
Describe me in three words. I can only publish, not respond.
Your top five ways to unwind and chillax, please?
- Watching horror movies. I know, I know, it seems strange, but if I’m depressed, anxious (about other things), or even sometimes when my PTSD is acting up, creature features are the best distraction there is. ((Though ffs, that DOES get me on a rant about surprise triggers in those sorts of films.))
- Bad reality shows. Cooking contests, baking shows, anything with brides or fish tanks or extravagant parties. Especially if I have a snack to watch them with.
- A nice bath, once the weather cools down. Especially if I have some Lavender or Chamomile to toss into the water. I can read a book, or listen to music, or just CHILL.
- Reading in general. Be it fanfic or original, audio or digital or paper, books and stories are a great way for me to chillax and enjoy myself. I can submerse myself in another story, another world, another atmosphere, and it’s great.
- Going for a walk. Whether it’s at the park, or just around my house, being outside can work wonders for everything about me. I feel more relaxed from being more tired, my brain has a chance to unknot problems it didn’t know it had, I can “get back to nature” and feel a bit more attuned to the seasons passing around me, and story ideas can pop into my head. All around good times.
Ask me for my Top 5 of anything and I’ll answer!
