SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!
i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it''s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i'm not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i'm talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it's literally not even that difficult and it matters so much
I need to settle an argument with a friend. If your girl got you Lego blocks, would you respond positively? Please elaborate why or why not!
EDIT: Guys the last answer is “I don’t play with Legos” (as you could probably guess)
Okay okay okay, I had a dream last night that orangutans could turn invisible. Like there wasn’t a plot about this, it was just a passive animal fact that was accepted by the scientific community. Orangutans could just go invisible and then show up again. It was a part of their biology.
WHY!?
(Angst under the cut)
So I was rewatching some clips from Bridgerton (specifically Queen Charlotte) and it made me think about Odysseus and Penelope Growing old. Odysseus’ mind escaping him in his old age. At first it’s just a few moments Penelope notices he’s not entirely there, but as he grows closer to the end, his moments of lucidity are few and far between. He has confabulations of his past, of men in his palace when there are none. Penelope and Telemachus try their best to help him, but rumors quickly spread of the mad king.
One particular instance that seals this suspicion is when Ody mistakes Telemachus for one of Penelope’s old suitors and absolutely flys off the handles. Luckily Telemachus is a strong enough man he can hold his own against his aging father, but it shakes him up. It’s the first time his own father didn’t recognize him.
Though, as his condition progresses, his wife and son learn better how to adjust. For example Pen will sometimes hand Odysseus a baby doll (a trick used on irl dementia patients btw) and tell him to take care of Telemachus for a while, this helps calm the man down temporarily.
I’m not a witch but lemme just say that fae magic be wild as hell. Like I constantly give you booze and honey cake and you repay me with a ratty piece of ribbon. AND THEN, if you have the GALL to say thank you for whatever lame gift they brought, they get all offended and curse the shit out of you. Like what the hell Gethitreal, I thought we were friends.
Probably not canon but like….what is striker was aroace?
Same
Okay I’m calling out to the Greek mythology side of tumblr with this one:
TW: Mentions of SA (Its Greek mythology so of course)
Adaptations of popular Greek myths are all but uncommon, especially those that portray the viewpoint of the many victims of the gods. Like the tragedies of Medusa, Io, Daphne, Echo etc.
Don’t misunderstand, if done right these can all be awesome retellings, but where is my Endymion retelling?
What would happen if Endymion woke up?
Can you imagine going to sleep one day, only to wake up hundreds if not thousands or years later to find out you were essentially magic-roofied and SA’d by a stranger who is now the mother to your FIFTY KIDS?!? (Oh yeah you have 50 kids now)
The Greek gods were meant to represent reality, not idealism and the story of Endymion almost perfectly encapsulates that. A young victim to the whims of someone far older and more powerful than them. Unable to remember what was done to them, but left feeling so confused and upset. Waking up in a strange new place after just having such an integral part of yourself violated…
THE STORY POTENTIAL IS ENDLESS
So why do we ignore him?
TLDR; Justice for my boi Endymion. He deserves better.
Reblogging because we as a society need to learn that you are not a moral failure for eating foods you enjoy.
