every couple of years I read more about OCD and go "huh. I think I, my mother, her mother, and her father all have moderate to severe OCD" and then forget about it until a couple years later when I read more about OCD and go "huh,
Itās the fact I just saw someone citing all their visual sources in a post about Renaissance and Hellenistic art and I murmured under my breath āthatās hotā¦ā
So while i was off of Tumblr i made some new oc and im not useing apollo as my main oc. Sorry if you liked them im gonna keep a few like zozo, potato,mazie, Bernie,huey and Herbert just to name a few.
I wanna make my ocs more into a few teen traveling around from planet to planet kinda thing.
So recently Iāve been trying to do nail polish on my toes and because of this Iāve started letting my toenails grow out a little and I have learned something about myself. If I were a dromaeosaur, I would constantly be tapping That Thang (big toe claw) on the floor, like all the time.
So this isn't exactly ACOTAR related but I also hope it's nothing personal?
I'm guessing you're from England as you often time your posts to England time and I'm terribly curious about all things around the world and I find it soo soo interesting how easy it isāin this day and ageāto sort of just communicate with all kinds of people around the world? and I love seeing the confusion between Americans and Brits when it comes to a lot of things, especially food(I really like those videos on yt where some British students try American food, albeit I'm not on yt much and have only watched like 2 or 3 of those) and I saw a short today about this dish called 'beans on toast' I believe? and someone in the comment section genuinely thought beans on toast meant plain beans on plain bread for some reason and so many Americans in the replies were kinda surprised that's not what it was? and it was kinda hilarious tbh ngl. and out of nowhere, you popped up in my mind fsr?
however, I really like learning about all these foods and dishes that are so commonplace for one set of people and never even touched by another? (in 2 decades of my life, I've never had pancakesš I've only ever read about them as one of the greatest breakfasts on Wattpad)
I was wondering if you have a comfort food that you like eating when you're down? do you enjoy certain cuisines? Are you ever astonished that someone in the world hasn't tasted a certain food and that they simply must? do you like beans on toast? fish and chips?(I'm sorry these are the only English dishes Ik TT)

āI'm guessing you're from England as you often time your posts to Englandā
I am indeed from England š«¢
āand I love seeing the confusion between Americans and Brits when it comes to a lot of things, especially foodā
I havenāt seen those videos, but Iāve seen ones where people compare English and American for other words like pavement vs. sidewalk, courgette vs. zucchini, aubergine vs. eggplant, and some others I canāt remember at the moment! I think Iāve also seen some where Americans react to Cockney rhyming slang, as well as some expressions/idioms which was pretty entertaining š¤
āand I saw a short today about this dish called 'beans on toast' I believe?ā
GIRL I'VE JUST MADE DINNER AND IT'S BEANS ON TOAST
I fully squawked and had to put my phone down when l read that š
āand someone in the comment section genuinely thought beans on toast meant plain beans on plain breadā
I mean, everyone has different ways, but I know one of my friends freaked out when they found out I put the cheese on top of the butter but beneath the beans so it melts and becomes soft and stringy š«¢
ā(in 2 decades of my life, I've never had pancakesš I've only ever read about them as one of the greatest breakfasts on Wattpad)ā
Honestly I think itās one of those things relating to association? Idk what itās like outside of England, but in primary school (roughly ages 4-11) we always had pancake races on pancake day, and during assembly we would have pancake flipping challenges too (to be fair, it was a C of E school, so maybe that affected it a little) so there are a lot of good memories surrounding pancakes which probably adds to the flavour enhancement :)
You also arenāt supposed to have them that often because theyāre unhealthy to have all the time without balance, but that made them super special since once a year youād get to have pancakes for breakfast! š„ (<- Iād call these American Pancakes)
And Iād like to specify, not American pancakes that are more stout and thicker, but ones that are thin that you can roll up with lemon and sugar or maple syrup š¤¤
āI was wondering if you have a comfort food that you like eating when you're down?ā
Honestly in summer probably tomatoes on bread with salt and pepper, in the autumn winter itās definitely soup, and spring probably beans on toast because theyāre just so easy to make and donāt cause a hassle š
ādo you enjoy certain cuisines?ā
I have to admit, my palette is not particularly extensive, but because of certain choices Iāve made for what Iām willing to eat, Italian probably suits me best :)
āAre you ever astonished that someone in the world hasn't tasted a certain food and that they simply must?ā
No, because one of my friends was such a picky eater. And I mean picky.
Anyway, having grown up with that, Iām more astonished when people have no limits at allāno allergies or spice tolerance, open to trying new thingsābasically someone whoāll eat absolutely anything amazes me.
āfish and chips?ā
Okay Iād say Iām pretty good at trying new foods and not turning my nose up at them, but anything with fish in I physically am unable to hold down š (aside from tuna š¤) Iām okay being around fish in supermarkets and that, or if people are eating it around me, but itās not pleasant :/
Although, I LOVE vinegar. I used to put it in my water as a child and to this day have it with pasta š«¢
Honestly Iād like to learn more meals to cook. Someone I know recently learned how to make a sauce(?)/dip(?) called baba ganoush/baba ghanouj and itās one of the best things Iāve ever had and would love to have it more frequently if I had the time to make it because honestly itās š¤š¤š¤ (my mouth is currently watering)
Guess who's decided they are gunna cosplay snufkin for their first con!! Its ME I'm so excited!! Im learning how to felt his hat from scratch and I'm so hyped!!!
