ey sir any advice for a florida woman trying to get into filipino food? so many of these fruits are just confusing for instance, and i don't know how to approach them.

"It's always best to start out with the soups! Both Sopas and Tinola are chicken based and are best to be eaten when sick!"

"Sopas is similar to an American chicken noodle soup, with its macaroni noodles, chicken, celery, and carrots, cooked in a milk-based broth. Tinola is a little more experimental for non-Filipinos. It’s still chicken based, but it has a lot more vegetables like chayote and bok choy.”

“Both of these are such good comfort foods!”

let's hear the tea on your opinions abt england

How I feel about this character: He's not my favorite character, but he's okay. I just don't like how a lot of the fandom--particularly the old fandom--treats/portrays him. That being said, he can be pretty funny at times.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Portugal

My non-romantic OTP for this character: France or America, probably. Canada and Seychelles, too.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Oh boy. Since discourse about this will occasionally pop up: he's not the victim of the American Revolution. He is nowhere near a good parent. None of the Hetalia parents are good parents, except Sweden. He is also not super effeminate guy who cries at the drop of a hat, guys. Nor is he a complete asshole. He is a flawed, complex character who lost America due to his own actions, can be a bit...stand-off-ish sometimes, but still cares about others.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I feel like we should've seen more of his punk phase in canon, but that's just me.

My OTP: EngPort

My OT3: Don't have one.

now i'm curious what upsets you about the common depiction of ameripan. could you elaborate?

A lot of the fanart I see of it (mind you I haven’t seen much fanfic so I can’t comment on those) very often tend to feminize and wobbify Japan in a way that is kinda racist ngl it’s also really annoying and also kinda gross not only is it racist but it’s also feeding into the homophobic/heteronormative way some people will make one character in an mlm ship the “woman”. I like the idea of ameripan but the fandom content I see often just upsets me

Now this is what IVE seen there’s a high probability that there are people in the fandom that DONT do this however the majority of what I see do so I’m not bashing ameripan or its shippers (unless they do shit like the above)

Now if I find content that doesn’t do the above then I’ll happily indulge I’m a huge multishipper and again I do WANT to like this ship but honestly I normally just see them as platonic and go about my merry way

i can't get italy/norway out of my thoughts so. yeets it at you

First I’m hearing of it, but I do like sunshine/grumpy ships so I’d be willing to give it a chance!

She wasn't riddled with bulletholes, but she was certainly shaking. The adrenaline rush just now wearing off, the alligator-like Humanoid scratched at a patch of her shedding bright red scales, not even aware Matthew had seen her running. "Why they always gotta shoot at me." Other clawed hand going to adjust her overalls. "I didn't want anythin' except water an shelter." Continuing to mutter to herself in a southern drawl, even sitting crosslegged her chunky frame came up to a height of about 5'6".

Matthew was walking to the parking garage to head home from work when he saw the large alligator looking person. Stopping in his tracks he stared in shock, they appeared to be a she and she was running. Talking to herself and running, he was quick to see from who and wasn't sure what to do. In that moment, part of him wanted to help. It seemed from his perspective she was being chased simply for being different, very different.

Running to his car he tossed his bag in the back and drove out. Stopping before her, managing to reach her, the window rolled down. "Get it! I promise I'm not with them, let me help you!"

honestly my favorite thing about italy/norway is the idea of the coffee machine breaking and either denmark or germany having to deal with two very grumpy neighbors for a while

oh my god??? oh my god.. i can feel it... my brain expanding... italy coming over to the nordics’ house and sweden bringing up having some fika and feliciano fucking spittakes bc of what “fica” means in italian but he laughs it off because “hahaha? okay? i thought you were gay but ok” internally only for them all to get together for coffee and some yummy snacks and he realizes OH. THIS. and he gets to enjoy a different kind of coffee than he’s used to, and an entirely new palette even though to him it’s a bit strange... and that norwegian is quiet and odd... he’s a little like ludwig when he’s in the zone.. i think they’d get along getting to talk about fairy tales.... feliciano is everybody’s friend
