I said this before and I will say again that I don't find Yuuta Maki end game bad or boring or somehow betraying Maki's or Yuuta's characters.
I think Maki can marry someone who she absolutely cared about in the manga and who cared about her in return.
My issue is how the marriage is presented: in the way that Maki Zen'in the person who murdered her whole clan is back in the clan system that have not changed.
"Maki back in the clan system" is my thematic and characterisation problem.
NOT
"Maki married and had children."

b99 au where ed and roy have to go into witness protection in florida like jake and holt and we get this scene with roy
(roy is pretending to be a widower and just talking about riza because he misses her āļøāļøāļø)
That's literally Roy when Riza went to work with the FĆ¼hrer.
Everyone criticizes "don't look up" for being so america-centered but isn't that also the point of the movie? Because that's the way the USA sees themselves. They think they are the protagonist and every other country is just a sidekick. Of course it's over the top. That's the point.
As a non-american, exactly, they say the meteor is going to fall next to the coast of Chile but they don't care. And there's a moment in which they mention they have to save the world and the president gives a speech that starts with something like: "dear Americans and people of the world" implying she thinks she is the president of the world.
oh god oh fuck oh god oh fc ck o h gdo
hack?
thatās just garlic confit
Seriously, anyone who didnāt know about how to make this didnāt have parents/relatives who cooked.
Yāall need to pick up a cookbook.Ā Or watch Julia Child.
Sorry everyone didnāt grow up in a household where their caretaker cooker or knew how to cooked. Some of us didnāt grow up in a household with fresh fruits and produce. Some of us didnāt have the money to spend on a shit ton of garlic.
So how about enjoy the video instead of being a snobby bitch.
Also Julia Child would be ashamed of people behaving like that. Her whole deal was justā¦ Making cooking accessible for people. Hell, she had a whole segment devoted to āoh, nobody taught you how to cook eggs? Hereās how you do that.ā A significant part of her show was basics that people take for granted (and though the equipment may have changed somewhat, its still pretty helpful). My dad had busy parents who didnāt have the time or knowhow to cook, and he learned from watching Julia Child. French cooking made easy, hereās the basics everyone assumes you know but never taught you. And ever since, heās had a love of cooking.
Stop putting people down for not knowing basics. Everyone is a beginner at some point or another.
I grew up in a healthy-eating cooking-skilled household and I did not know that this existed.
Just shut up and spread the TikTok
So confit is a way of cooking things, and it does marvellous things to many things. You put stuff in oil and slow cook it. Thatās confit. Garlic confit? Put it in oil and slow cook it. Chicken confit? You put it in oil and slow cook it. (side note: confit historically means to preserve by cooking at a low temperature, (which often also meant a cure prior to cooking). So Fruit confit is fruit thatās been cooked at a low temperature in a very concentrated sugar solution, not in oil. Nowadays, confit usually just means cooking slowly in oil outside the context of fruit and does not imply a curing process) Compared to deep frying, almost no moisture is lost, and the flavour is not changed via the maillard process because it doesnāt happen. There is no charring or searing done to the meat/whatever youāre confitting. For veg in general, to confit them will cause them to become ultratender, as fibers and stuff will partially break down, cell walls will collapse, but no moisture will be lost. And their flavour will mostly remain; for garlic in particular, the hot garlicky taste, the result of the allicin, which is a result of crushing or chopping the garlic, will never come out. The chemicals will break down under that amount of heat. The oil does not terribly seep into the food by the way; itās already saturated with water, and unless that water leaves, the oil doesnāt have a place to seep into. Itās saturated already, and the result of connective tissue breaking down, or fibres breaking down, is less room for fluids. Which is why a carrot can be nice and dry, go into a hot oven, and come out floppy and moist, as the water inside can no longer be held by its inside, and available, unabsorbed water = wet. You do get a thin layer of oil coating the outside of the food. This means that confitāing a food item is actually very close to steaming that item at a particular temperature, or cooking it sous vide; in either case, the item does not dry out and slowly reaches its final temperature.
@brattylikestoeat the damned garlic wars was back on my dash this morning.
I like this post. Video with technique. Somebody being a dick. Other people saying donāt be a dick. Super helpful science dump that I enjoy a ton.
Americans discover alioli.
I donāt care if the world isnāt ready to hear it, but Iām going to say it:
āSugar Weāre Going Down Kung Fu Fightingā is better than either of the original songs that comprise the mashup
for those who need to hear it
Worry not, there is a flash game archive!Ā Many other obsolete platforms are also being backed up, including PopCap and Java.Ā
Another reason why the French voice casting ruining the dubbing of this movie was a crime against its country.
For the Spanish dub they chose a famous musician instead of an actual voice actor and the result became one of the worst dubs in history.

reblogging for the lyrics.
OwO
I lose it after Peru.Ā like, I canāt even follow the lyrics.Ā I just sit in awe of it.
Imagine being the voice actor and having to learn all that
reblogging again because i need something happy today
Fun fact: The voice actor of Yakko name Rob Paulsen. Did this song scene inā¦ONEā¦take. Donāt believe me? Look it up. Also..hereās a video of him doing the song with no lyrics in front of him during a comic con conference.Ā
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueVut3yUo4EĀ <- Incase the video below stops working. Below here is the video.
Good lord, what a party trick!
my only achievement in life is keeping up up to guam
This right here ā learning, and retaining Patter songs, like this one, and like Tom Lehrerās The Elemental Table Song are where ADHD becomes a SUPERPOWER! Because speaking as a singer who has had a song literally HAUNT her for weeks until she got all of it in the right order, (In my case, it was The Funeral Song) once that happens? Once youāve lain awake seven nights or more mouthing all the parts you can remember, and straining for all the ones you can *almost* remember? That moment when you finally get it all right, and get all the way through it is fucking electric. And after that, youāll probably spend another week just hitting that same dopamine button of āI FUCKING GOT THIS!ā and singing it to yourself voluntarily, at which point you have to admit that itās going to be with you for the rest of your life. I can still sing the Funeral Song on command to this day. Thank you, ADHD.
They donāt include South Africa. Or, the Republic of South Africa, if you want to be technical.
(And itās not like we were called something else and name-swapped, like Zimbabwe used to be Rhodesia.Ā And I mean, they include Swaziland (a small country mostly surrounded by South Africa) and Lesotho(a small country completely surrounded by South Africa). But South Africa itself? Nope.)
So yeah, that always annoyed me a bit. Does anyone know if they missed any other countries?
A while ago they did an updated version
They still managed to miss the Trinidad part of Trinidad and Tobago in the update
Its kinda great tho cause we have a running joke/meme in our country that Trinidad isnt a real place and its also nice to see the smaller (and abjectly nicer) half of our sister islands get noticed.
Which crimes would you think the USA would be accused of if it were a third world, middle Eastern, or Latin American country and not a world leader?
Self Sufficiency, 1970s
This is actually kind of like what Iām doing, except my animals arenāt for meat.
Thereās actually a great book I found (of course you probably already either have it or know the material it covers) called The Backyard Homestead. Itās a good resource for anyone who wants to do this, regardless of the size plot of land you have. It covers planting seasons, canning, livestock, etc. but also has several plot layouts like the one above based on different yard sizes.
For example, if you have 1/10 acre:
I actually have several hundred acres to work with right now, but I would still be veryĀ interested in reading that. Thank you for the recommendation!
I have a few friends who have significantly less land but would be interested in doing some self sufficient farming. Also, I like to read everything I can on subjects, because you never know where youāre going to discover great advice.
Ā I will see if I can add it to my amazon wishlist for the next time I get a gift card!
Iāve read The Backyard Homestead and itās great! Second the recommendation.
Also, this made me think of this, although itās not entirely in the same vein: A Pattern Language is a book about architecture, mostly, but also building communities and increasing efficiency and self-sufficiency. I highly recommend it for anyone who is trying to build their own homestead, house, or intentional community. Itās pretty expensive, so I when I want to read it I borrow it from the local university library, but if youāve got some spare funds itās a truly incredible book. My father has worked in community-building & civic leagues (and lived on a farm) for most of his life and itās one of his #1 recommendations as well. Itās just a really amazing and interesting book. @onlyashremains
I have The Backyard Homestead and I canāt recommend it enough. Itās been my top book for planning out my Garden these last couple of years and Iād probably be lost without it.Ā If youāre seriously interested in this kind of stuff, I would also recommend 5 Acres and Independence, tooā¦ Even if you donāt have 5 acres to spare, I found the information invaluable, and the information in it is definitely adaptable to whatever sized plot you can spare.Ā
Getting more specifically into the Gardening and Farming aspects, I have a few more suggestions for reading material:Ā
Pirating PlantsĀ is about Propagation, grafting, and Seed Saving; itās old but itās solid and I definitely recommend it if you want to Garden on the cheap- especially when it comes toĀ ālarger than averageā farming.Ā
The New Complete Guide to GardeningĀ by Better Homes and Gardens. Despite focusing mostly on your typical garden flowers, it does have some great information in it about a few Herbs and Fruit varieties, and all around has a lot of valuable information in it.Ā
The Complete Illustrated Book of Herbs by Readerās Digest, as well- though this one is obviously about Herbs specifically. But it covers basic remedies, culinary uses, planting, harvesting and storing, and a lot of other information.
I also have The Backyard Homestead, as well as The Complete Illustrated Book of Herbs, and Iāve found both to be extremely useful in my gardening and in planning my future houseās yard plots. Iām also looking into picking up a number of books on forest gardening and building simple greenhouses.
