#Bean soup theory

[mirananananan]

another day has come and gone…

and i am still seeing homophobe joel discourse on my feed here and on that godless app twitter.

everyone else has already said what needs to be said imho, so i won’t stir the pot, but i do think it’s indicative of the larger issue in our society:

more of us should really take time to step outside, breathe fresh air, understand that not all media will cater to your individual worldview. in fact, it is very healthy that is doesn’t! this is what makes media interesting and encourages us to empathize with other experiences and see ourselves in them and understand our favorite characters as multi-dimensional and complex human beings.

all of this said, i do not believe joel miller is a homophobe! he loves ellie very much and lashed out in frustration with a thoughtless comment!

"this pmo" you sound like an emotionally unintelligent bigfoot, if every single video ever pisses you off maybe go outside 🙏

Everything is bean soup theory!

When men say “not all men”. That’s bean soup theory!

When woman say they don’t want kids and mothers/people that do want kids get offended

Etc etc

If it’s not meant for you, don’t try and make!

I’m sick of people being like “ummm, what about me?” SHUT UP

cat fingers the episode is a metaphor for mental and/or physical health problems. Or at least that’s how I see it. something happens, then Steven feel worse and worse. He watches the problem grow and can only help but watch as his condition gets worse. He feels stuck and a little hopeless

people rly need to relearn “if you don’t like this thing, maybe it was not made for you”

I was wondering if maybe in the Coral Sea they use underground volcanoes or geysers instead of fire to cook food.

I wonder if that’s possible..? 🤔

Merfolk don’t seem to be familiar with fires (as Floyd indicates in his Beans Camo vignettes). There also seems to be differences between the food merfolk eat and the food avaliable on land. For example, hot meals are not A Thing in Coral Sea.

In his School Uniform vignette, Jade states most of the food in the Coral Sea is consumed raw, and sweets are a rarity. He also says that it is not possible to light a fire under the sea.

It should be noted that Ruggie mentions mercouples often ask for a rainbow dessert soup served. This soup is normally served warm and served with trident cookies.

This technically contradicts what Jade said about his people’s food being mostly raw and non-sweet. However, this exception does make sense if you consider that the wedding venue Ruggie used to work for is located on land; this land-based wedding venue therefore likely offers different dishes than what would be available in the sea.

Cooking food with a geyser of underwater volcano isn’t the exact same as cooking on a stove. There are moist-heat and dry-head methods, which can impact the properties of the resulting dishes. I feel like underwater geysers/volcanos would, by default, be moist-heat methods, and so there theoretically wouldn’t be certain textures (like crunchy/fried) or flavors available to merpeople even if they do have alternate methods of cooking. (I assume La Grotta, Mrs. Ashengrotto’s restaurant, uses these alternate methods.)

… But then how come Azul’s favorite food is fried chicken??? You’d need to fry the meat somehow, and frying is a DRY-heat cooking method.

The Episode of Octavinelle manga also depicts exceptions to the types of food that can be cooked underwater. In this one page alone, you can see shortcake, pasta, fried chicken, a hamburger patty, vegetables, and a muffin. Most of these could be prepared via steaming or another moist-heat method—but again, NOT THE FRYING.

Did Mrs. Ashengrotto find some way to fry food… underwater??? Is it a magical method…? Does that mean that all her chefs must be mages?? If that’s true, then this only further fuels the idea that some jobs are entirely staffed by mages (and therefore impossible for non-mages to take on, which perpetuates the social divide between mages and non-mages.)

What if her secret method to fryinf is the reason why La Grotta became such a popular restaurant? 🧐 Have we uncovered… a conspiracy theory…?

My random thoughts about My Immortal Soul:

The ninja suit is made from the feathers of a huge bird, and Chase turns into a huge lizard because he drank sour soup from a talking bean. Technically, they can be described as: two elderly Asians over +90 years old, fighting and flirting with each other in their fursuits.

And let's imagine a scenario where the First still won against Chase, imprisoned his soul in Nomicon (or in a psychiatric ward), but in theory the body will remain, will it be possible to rip off the skin and make magical equipment using the same method as the Tengu suit? I'm sure somewhere in the book there are instructions on how to sew. I think that sewing something from leather is easier than doing it from feathers. And is it possible to make more suits from other powerful creatures. If so, I would start catching the most evil creatures, so that I wouldn’t feel sorry for them, and use them as weapons against other equally evil creatures. Although (apart from unknown, most likely life-threatening, conditions) there are still theoretical problems. Firstly, Chase is much smaller than Tengu, in which case it would only be enough for bracers or gloves (although it would be cool if it was enough for full-fledged armor. With a duet of Samurai and Ninja, crime would be significantly reduced). And the owner, especially a child, will not be able to curb so much dark magic at once, so it’s better not to combine them And if Chase “dies” like that in the form of a reptile, will he turn into a human or will he remain like that? It’s just that if he becomes a human, then removing his skin will look like a cut scene from Hannibal. The first one probably knows how to get rid of a person's body so that there are no traces left (ninjas are hired killers after all) despite the new circumstance in the form of a sorcerer, he was still trained in this matter, and one of the most effective ways is to hide the body in parts. Although in those days it was enough to take the body to the mountains far away, where there are plenty of animals and they will gnaw the body for a sweet soul, but there are situations where taking the body out is far from an option. or at least watched how his brothers / parents / clanmates did it

Lets talk about steven universe.

In the show, theres an episode where steven learns a bit more about his life sustaining powers when he creates watermelon stevens from his spit.

They leave at the end of the episode, and later on are shown to be developing society with children of their own, factions, language, and even opposing clans.

Later, steven (albeit unintentionally ) experiments with his powers by making a single pumpkin come to life, which does not result in a whole society due to it being singular

Now, lets talk about onion and his family.

He was born, of course, he has his birth video. His parents are vidalia and yellowtail, where sour cream-his half brother-has vidalia and marty. Notably, everyone involved in the onion line have a similar color palette.

Now. What are onions known to do? They make you cry. I believe rose was learning to cook in the past (potentially decades, or even centuries), and cried on an onion or two, which produced asexually (via bulbs). She then experimented by crying on more things.

What about onion’s birth video?

Fun fact about onions, they can also produce sexually via seeds.

I mentioned earlier that the watermelon people had their own language

Yellowtail specifically is known to have his own language, that marty does not understand

If we go with my theory, that the onions are a line originating from rose, this implies that the onions separated at some point into separate factions and different locations, and developed differently because of it.

Lastly, lets talk about soup.

Soup is made up of many ingredients such as beans, squash, onions, a soup base, etc.

Do you see what I’m getting at?

I think this friend group is the direct result of rose not only cutting onions, but experimenting after she created life, and her tears getting all over each ingredient, including the soup itself.

Their speech is limited which aligns with how the watermelon and onion youth work, they learn to talk at a later age. This also may apply to the fryman family due to their hair resembling french fries but theres not a lot of evidence for that.

It is interesting(and a little sad) to realize how similar steven and his mom are. They mirror each other in the adventures that they go on. Rose created life when she was trying to be human(learning cooking), and steven created life when he was trying to figure out his powers as a gem. They were both new to this world and reacted the same, and even if steven doesnt hear about the things his mom did, there are direct links to her in his life.

This might be a hot take, but I think algorithmic social media has ruined our ability to simply scroll by content that does not suit our own tastes.

We're so used to content being curated for us, especially on TikTok, that I think some people forget what to do when they see something they don't like.

Just scroll by, block, or filter and then just move on. You can filter tags on Tumblr and on AO3.

We all know that TikTok is responsible for people's attention spans dropping, as well as video slowly becoming the preferred format over reading.

And that AI is being used to lazily write, and in some cases, analyse text for you so you don't have to critically think or put effort in yourself.

However, I think it's also creating an environment where people think it's okay to tell people to stop doing something harmless because *they* don't like it.

It's like the Bean Soup Theory. If you don't like bean soup, then find other recipes instead of telling people who like bean soup to stop talking about bean soup.

So Israel can openly bomb a school that is a KNOWN. SHELTER. FOR. REFUGEES. and yet you won’t call their behavior “genocidal” simply because the proper channels won’t call it that (even tho there’s plenty of evidence proving that what they’re doing is the text book definition of genocide)

You say all the time to everyone else “listen to Israelis” but you tip toe around the Palestinians putting their lives on the line to expose what Israel is doing

Israel only bombs areas where hamas uses it as either a base or to carry out military operations. It a war crime by hamas to use civilian areas for those purposes. It still sucks and is a tragedy that those areas and buildings are getting destroyed, do not get me wrong, however the fault in the eyes of international law lies with Hamas not Israel.

If that is your logic for it being a genocide, then by your logic, it would be Hamas which is at fault for a genocide.

Again, I am going to trust those with relevent degrees and experiences relevent to calling it a genocide as your average person does not have all the information to call it one.

Your average person does not have all the information regarding military operations from both sides as well as how to properly interpret international law. I am literally simply just recognizing where I lack expertise and leaving it up to the experts, and I reccomend others do the same. Its not good to act like an expert in something you are not an expert in. It actually leads to spreading misinformation.

I would also like to say, how am I tip toeing? I have literally made multiple posts in support of Mosab Hasan Yousef who is a Palestinian who had to seek political assylum in the US so he would not get killed.

What do you expect me to do? Dedicate my whole blog? Do you not want me to talk about antisemitism and xenophobia? Because the thing is, my blog is mainly talking about those two things. Telling people to listen to and talk to Israelis is relevent to those two things. People 100% should be listening to Palestinians too. You are literally pulling a bean soup theory here. Aka don't ask an account who posts about bean soup recipies to post non bean soup recipies and instead find someone else who posts non bean soup recipies.

If you want to read a blog which is mainly about Palestinians, do find a blog which posts mainly about Palestinians. I am not going to give in to your idea of "anyone who talks mainly about antisemitism and Israelis must hate palestinians" as that is stupid. To use another analogy, just because I post mainly about pancakes does not mean i hate waffles.

the only really good “theory” term tiktok has ever coined is the bean soup theory

[tashacee]

Hey Taaash! i hope that your day is going wonderfully, because you deserve it uwu Probably i'm late to the party but have you seen that headcanon/theory where they say that Four is actually Wind ancestors? Because their shield is very similar and at the beginning of Wind Waker Grandma said to Wind that it was passed down in the family. (honestly i'm kind of a sucker for this theories maybe as much as the found family trope. Just delicious) Also, what do you think would happen if the untarnished chain or Mask!Wild with his chain met Calamity!Wild (the one from the Hyrule warriors)? (sorry for the long ask, i'm just very curious)

HI!

I personally LOVE that theory, it's really nice to think they're all connected. Maybe Wind's Grandma's soup is a recipe that Four's Grandpa also made, passed down through the years.

HMMM yes! I am now adopting this theory.

OOOH okay as for part two of the ask...

Hmm. I kind of want to write both of these but have no plans in the short term for it so...

Okay i'll do Mask!Wild.

Ah, the Bean. He'd recognise his Hyrule immediately, and would figure out that it was pre-calamity pretty fast. The bean is smart, after all.

The others might not. Not immediately. Even if they know about his death and resurrection at this point, they may not figure it out immediately. After all, they've never seen Wild's face, much less how he looked pre-calamity, and have never met his zelda. So what if the Champion of this era has a similar tunic, several of them have literally worn the same tunic as a previous hero.

But Wild knows.

And Wild is very protective of his younger self.

Age (Age of Calamity Wild) doesn't really know what to make of this Chain of heroes that's appeared, and especially not the one in a mask. He's silent and skittish and nervous, but where he is concerned, Wild is downright ferocious. He even snapped back at the King when he was on one of his tirades against Age and Zelda, getting between them like a terrier and speaking for the first time since Age had met him.

(That's when the Chain figure it out. Rhoam has such big Fuckwad energy it's unmistakable)

I don't know if Wild tells Age who he is. Age probably figures it out, though. He's a smart guy.

That's all i've got for now, but will probably write this someday!

God I can’t stand the helplessness and lack of problem solving that seems to be everywhere right now, the “bean soup” theory, the “it’s behind a paywall, I can’t read it”, the comments like “where do I find this/how do I do this?/why doesn’t mine work?”. Google is ruined and the children are left behind. Everyone needs basic problem solving and critical thinking skills and nobody has them!!! They want ao3 to have an algorithm cause they don’t know how to search! They can’t learn a new phone interface! They can’t determine that if your name isn’t mentioned, it probably isn’t about you!!! They live in totalities and puritanical morals!!! I’m tired. Figure it out for yourself! Have some wonder! Have some drive. Find a 4 year old post on the basics, do some trial and error, watch a YouTube video in 340p, respect yourself enough to try instead of being helpless!

something I've noticed (specifically on tiktok)

video: i hate people who do this specific thing

commenter 1: hi I do that thing so I'm assuming this video is about me and I'm gonna share my experiences with it

comments: yeah okay

commenter 2: hi I'm disabled and I do that thing so I'm assuming this video is about me and I'm gonna share my experiences with it

comments: omfg not everythings about you. you are so selfish for thinking that they are talking about you when they describe something that directly applies to you. bean soup theory.
