Ridiculous Musings

Of a ridiculous human being. Along with random flailing. Expect everything and nothing, because I have no idea what I'm doing. I read, I write, I rp. No idea if that's ever gonna be relevant to this blog but there. And I'm practicing my languages. Any pronouns, Canadian, I answer to Yoshi, feel free to inbox/ask anything. Oh, and I have a writing blog @yoshiscribbles!

I know in my heart that shane is the type of person who would never bring up essential personal details until they are immediately relevant and then would also be so understated about them

he and ilya are hanging out in the yard and some bees are buzzing around because some watermelon juice spilled on the ground earlier and shane suggests they go inside or rinse the juice off the patio and ilya teases him about being scared of little bees and shane SO nonchalantly just, "no, but i am allergic and you don't know where my epipen is"

and ilya

[penandinkprincess]

reblogging with my own tags because i'm also CACKLING imagining the implications of this not being specific to ilya, either. they're having a barbeque at hayden and jackie's house and hayden is good-naturedly encouraging shane to try a piece of coffee cake or something and ilya just goes, "no, bad for you"

and hayden IMMEDIATELY is on the defensive because what? you get to tell him what to eat now? where do you get o-

"no, bad for him because it has walnuts in it, pike. you want him to die? this is what you want?"

"what are you talking about?"

shane: "i'm allergic"

"??? since WHEN??"

"since always??"

"you've eaten over at my house HOW many times?? and never brought this up? the fuck, dude?"

"jackie knows"

"WHY DOES JACKIE KNOW AND I DON'T"

[penandinkprincess]

yuna and david dialing IN to "if you don't freak out, they won't freak out" during shane's formative years to the unintended and unfortunate side effect of ending up in situations like bb!shane going *calm tug tug on david's shirt* "yeah buddy?" *big inhale that audibly wheezes as his throat starts swelling shut*

[rainbow-femme]

They move in together full time and Ilya notices that Anya acts differently with Shane than she does with him, more quiet and less playful, and he worries that means she doesn’t like Shane or is jealous, so he hires a dog trainer to come over and see if there’s anything they need to do to help

After a while of talking about how Anya acts the trainer says there’s nothing to worry about, Anya likes Shane just fine, it’s just that she sees him as the boss and is acting accordingly

And Ilya is like. But. I’m the one who adopted her? And raised her before Shane got here?? And the trainer is just like yeah well she sees you more like an equal. And Ilya is like WAIT she thinks Shane is in charge of both of us?? And the trainer is just like well do you interact in a way that would make her think that?

Ilya’s life flashes before his eyes as he thinks of all the times Shane has come over with a snack for Ilya and a treat for Anya, or all the times Shane has announced they’re all going for an after dinner walk, or pets Ilya’s hair and tells him he did a good job at practice, or the fact that he uses the same warning tone with Anya when she misbehaves as he does with Ilya when he’s causing problems on purpose

Shane comes home to Ilya with his face in his hands going oh god I’m not Anya’s dad I’m her brother and she thinks we’re both your pets. And Shane just goes. What.

About 1 out of 5 Parental!RoyEd fics: “When his youngest subordinate goes missing, the Flame Alchemist will stop at nothing to bring Ed safely home.”

Meanwhile, Roy in Brotherhood: “Fullmetal’s gone missing up North? Hmm, sounds like a personal problem to me. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a coup to plan.”

[minnichi]

And let’s not forget Roy’s canonical reaction in The Abducted Alchemist:

[whetstonefires]

like i’m absolutely sure that if Roy had good reason to believe Ed really needed rescuing and he was the best available candidate, he would in fact bring down hell. (and give ed hell about it forever obviously.)

that’s how he is about all his people, and he is aware that Ed is underage so anything really bad happening to him is more fucked up than it happening to adults, even if he handles it better than most adults would.

but ‘ed being in trouble’ and ‘ed needing rescuing’ aren’t even close to synonymous in his view and you know he’s right.

[sainamoonshine]

tbh most of the time if someone calls Roy and asks for a ransom for Ed he’ll just start laughing and tell them “god help you” before hanging up

[logo-comics]

Roy: *answering the phone* Hello?

Kidnapper: We have your son.

Roy: I don’t have children.

Kidnapper: We have the short angry blonde in the red coat.

Roy: Oh, Fullmetal. Yeah. You don’t have him, he has you. Bye. *hangs up*

[b-i-beast291]

Roy: *answering the phone* Mmm’yello?

Kidnapper: *near tears* I’m…I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have taken the kid. Please, please take him back!

Roy: Hmmm judging by your tone, you know exactly what kind of person he is. I’m not sure I want to take him back. At least, not for free. Equivalent Exchange and all that.

Kidnapper: You’re counter ransoming me?! You can’t do that!

Roy: You’re clearly not in the mood to negotiate. I’m gonna hang up right now and give you a little time to be in a calmer state of mind, okay? Okay.

Kidnapper: No wait plea-

Roy: *hangs up*

Guys. Guys. Guys.

I have a cute no pack au idea.

Who knew it was possible?

Bruce gets cursed, and is shifted into a dog/wolf/whatever some sort of canine. But not just physically, mentally too, to the base instincts of a dog (don't come at me for accuracy on this, that's not what any of us are here for).

He doesn't trust anyone, growling, snapping, fast, agile, and incredibly dangerous. They're prepared to let him run, to just follow rather than capture him, but he won't. He doesn't get close to any of them, but still stays in their general vicinity, circling a perimeter, and pacing.

The cave gets pinged, per protocol, and Tim comms, demands they get him back to the Watchtower, not keep him out in the open. And they motion to protest, only to realise Bruce has crept closer, and his ears twitch up with every use of Tim's name.

They pass the call onto the ship's actual monitor, quickly planning, and Tim calls out to Bruce, over and over, enticing him into the ship, and he reluctantly enters the ship, but still growls at snaps at any close hero. Tim hangs up, eventually, and the JL watch Bruce whine, pawing at the wall where the projection was, then turn on them, even more aggressive, but Tim isn't answering the phone again.

The Javelin docks and heroes spill out, fleeing, some bleeding, and a freaked Bruce bolts too, sprinting into the hall before they can seal him away.

He's herded, doors sealed, others opened, until his only path is straight through to Tim, and he barrels into the room. He immediately changed tune, ears picking up, tail wagging, trotting up to Tim and guiding him into a corner, then turning and standing guard, growling at the rest of the room.

Tim and everyone else are left to call across the room to each other, only when the other kids are mentioned, Bruce perks up so obviously they decide to comm them and see who can come. Everyone, of course, wants to see uninhibited wolf Bruce, and races to join.

As each kid enters, it's the same, Bruce perking up, wagging his tail, then hoarding them behind him to protect them.

The JL are relaxed now, if bitter about the biting, and watch the blatant adoration with fondness, and plans for teasing Bruce, only for everyone to be surprised when dog Bruce snarls a warning, turns his back on them, and absolutely smothers the present kids in his scent, nipping their ears gently like they're real puppies, and he's mad at them for not having his scent. Tim, Dick, and Cass are in absolute shock, then melt, as Bruce goes back to protecting them, even as a wolf pushing out a strong, protective mother scent.

Every new arrival gets the same treatment, until they're all strewn in the corner behind Bruce, blissed out, resolved to talk to human Bruce once the curse is broken, but pacified for now, knowing this is a Bruce without inhibitions.

Anyway! This is all to set the scene for Bruce, massive intimidating wolf, snarling at the JL like he'll tear out their jugular, then Tim or someone calling his name, and him spinning around, a dopey doggy grin on his face, tail swishing against the ground behind him, just from them speaking to him/having his eyes on them.

I just think it would be the cutest.

Grapefruit, Lime and Vanilla Marmalade

The great thing about cooking leftovers and avoiding waste, is that you can make something delicious into something completely different but equally delicious. This is what happened to the fruits of my Citrus-Pear Sangria when they became this finger-licking yummy Grapefruit, Lime and Vanilla Marmalade! Spread it on English Muffins, it’s sheer bliss!

Ingredients (makes about 1 ¼ cup):

the remaining citrus fruit (grapefruit and lime) and ginger, from the Citrus-Pear Sangria

½  pink grapefruit, cut into very thin slices

½ large lime , cut into very thin slices

1 ½ cup water

2 tablespoons Homemade Vanilla Extract

1 cup white sugar

In a small saucepan, combine remaining citrus fruit and ginger from the Citrus-Pear Sangria with grapefruit and lime. Cover with water.

Bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer, 15 minutes or until rind is tender. Stir in Vanilla Extract and sugar, and increase heat to medium-high, bringing back to a boil. Cook, stirring often, for about 25 minutes until marmalade reduces and reaches setting point.

Pour hot Grapefruit Lime and Vanilla Marmalade in an airtight jar you have sterelized (by boiling 5 minutes in hot water) beforehand, and close lid tightly. 

Let cool on the counter, upside down, about an hour. 

Store sealed, unopened marmalade jar in a dry, cool place.Once opened, you can keep the jam in the refrigerator within a month or two (but it definitely won’t last that long!)

Didn’t make the sangria but can’t wait to taste this marmalade

From the 1970s onward, a chilling practice cast a long shadow over Saskatoon, Canada, leaving a trail of fear, grief, and injustice. Indigenous men and women, often targeted for minor infractions, were forcibly removed by police and abandoned in the freezing outskirts of the city—a deadly phenomenon that came to be known as “starlight tours.” Victims were left to navigate sub-zero temperatures alone, sometimes never to be seen again. One of the most notorious cases was that of 17-year-old Neil Stonechild, who disappeared from police custody in 1990 and was later discovered frozen, a stark testament to the lethal consequences of this abuse.

Survivors like Darrell Night brought the horrors to light, recounting in chilling detail how officers left him to fend for himself in the bitter cold. His testimony ignited public outrage, spurring formal investigations and leading to convictions in his case, though justice was not served for many others. Individuals such as Lloyd Dustyhorn, Rodney Naistus, and Lawrence Wegner fell victim to the same practice, yet their stories remain unresolved, a painful reminder of systemic neglect and discrimination.

The starlight tours became emblematic of the deep-seated racism and abuse embedded in law enforcement practices. For decades, the truth was quietly acknowledged but rarely confronted, leaving families to grapple with fear, mistrust, and unanswered questions. The legacy of these tours lingers, shaping community perceptions of justice and highlighting the urgent need for accountability and reform. For the Indigenous communities affected, the cold nights of abandonment are more than a historical fact—they are a lasting scar, a reminder of a time when the very institutions meant to protect often endangered those most vulnerable.

i’ve started looking at weight and health the way i look at class and income and it really puts a lot of things into a new perspective.

let me explain: in america at least, the lower class have significantly worse health outcomes, even when accounting for other factors. just being poor is enough to make your overall health worse. we don’t know that being fat makes your health directly worse, like the data just isn’t there, but for a moment, pretend it does.

imagine going to the doctor with a health problem and the doctor looking at your chart and saying well, this problem will be less severe if you go up an income bracket. have you thought about becoming rich? it would really help. start by saving a little money every month.

ridiculous, right?? very few people successfully go from working class to rich, it just doesn’t happen on a large scale in society. maybe for a time you pick up some overtime hours, spend a little beyond your means, and appear rich. but eventually you burn out, your car needs to be repaired, and you return to being working class.

we do have this data: only some people can successfully lose large amounts of weight, and only a tiny fraction of people who lose that weight actually keep it off for more than a year. telling people to lose weight for their health is just absurd because they almost certainly can’t do it any more than they can double their income for their health.

and yet i see it everywhere. a little poster in my work breakroom tells me to improve my blood pressure by losing weight! a psa on the radio says you need to take care of your heart by losing weight! we can’t even conclusively prove that weight is the cause rather than just correlated with a lot of these problems but here it is offered anyway: have you tried being rich?

[bumbledeefumble]

You hit the nail on the head. A lot of people tend to try and invalidate fatphobia as a form of oppression by saying its not an immutible quality like race or sexuality or gender. The old “you can lose weight, i can’t become white/straight/cis” argument.

That’s because fatphobia is a lot more like classism; i.e. it’s a form of bigotry that is only TECHNICALLY changeable. They’re both seen as a lot more changeable than they actually are, for all the reasons you’ve listed.

Have you seen the new movie? It's on library. It's literally on the library. It's on library without ads. It's literally on your local public library. You can probably ask for it on your library. Dude it's on your library. It's in the original case too. It's on library. You can watch it at the library. You can go to your local library and watch it. Register onto your local library right now. Go to your library. Dive into your library. You can watch it. It's on there. Your library has it for you. Your library has it for you.

[sir-libearian]

I mean. Yea. But also one problem libraries are having is streaming services never releasing certain things on dvd. And so we can't buy them for patrons to check out no matter how much we want to. And Disney+ also only releases some things on Blu-ray (or now Blu-ray 4k or whatever.) Which we can buy, but is frustrating because we'd rather buy the most universally compatible format.

Which isn't to say we don't buy what we can, new movies and many shows are at library. But also, we get multiple purchase requests a month for stuff like bridgerton that we simply can't buy. The poor head of video, she feels so bad about it.

fuck streaming services, library good, unfortunately library can't get everything even though we wish we could.

Y'all for real please do these. Even if you're certain your posture doesn't suck. One day you will wake up with impinged shoulder pain like I did and let me tell you it fucking HURTS. Do these exercises even just once a week and it will make such a difference. Especially my fellow creatives out there, stop shrimping over your work and go do these right now. RIGHT NOW.
