Follow these eating habits to Gain Weight in Just 15 Days

It may seem problematic to be overweight or underweight, but the problem comes in finding the ideal balance between the two. Nevertheless, we frequently discuss weight loss and rarely view gaining weight as an issue. It's a serious issue, too! As a fitness instructor, My clients previously have faced comments like "Don't you eat anything?" made about underweight people. It is common for people to be quite apathetic to the difficulties thin people have in achieving their ideal weight. I can relate to how difficult it can be for slim people because I've been there myself. So stop worrying; I'm here to help you achieve the body and size you desire. Because I have helped my clients to transform now they are living happy and confident life.

Weight gain is not something that happens quickly. It's a tiresome process that calls for a great deal of patience! However, I think you overlook what problems you had along the way until you arrive at where you are going. I have you covered if you have the stamina to put in the effort necessary to have the body of your dreams!

A Healthy and Nutritious Diet for Weight Gain

A better diet is always the first step in gaining weight, even though many of you may be wondering how to do it fast. Take a moment to review your daily diet; it will reveal a lot of unwanted information.

Do you actually consume the right foods? Therefore, it's time to decide to start eating a clean and healthy diet. In such a way you will develop muscles in addition to gaining weight. Let me explain what you should include in your diet and how it can contribute to weight gain.

Consume Calorie-Rich Drinks/foods

Although water is healthy, it can make you feel less hungry. If you enjoy drinking liquids, you must drink high-calorie drinks. I suggest adding peanut butter, fruits and nuts, protein powder, and full-fat milk to your drinks to make them healthy. Additionally, since both peanut and coconut milk are used to build weight, you can use them. Additionally, when preparing your own shakes or smoothies, try to stay away from adding processed sugars since they can lead to more health issues.

Increase Your Fiber Intake

The importance of fiber in our diet is something we frequently miss. Eating a fibrous diet is crucial because fiber promotes easy digestion. In addition to adding calories, placing some veggies like celery on the side of your plate will facilitate simpler and more quick digestion. Hence, eat fruits or veggies that have both fiber and good fat. Avocados, Orange, sweet potatoes, corn, mangoes, bananas, berries, grapes, and more are all edible.

Eat foods that are high in fat.

Having a snack on high-fat foods is essential for weight gain. However, be sure that it falls under a clean diet. Snacks such as Greek yogurt, cheese, nuts, and dried fruits might help you gain healthy weight. Crackers with hummus, cheese, pesto, or guacamole are always an option if you're looking for something nicer but still healthy. Also, having a granola bar is a nice and healthy option.

Include Proteins

The base of any diet is protein. It is important not just for weight gain but also for muscular growth. Therefore, seek out foods that are high in protein and include them in your diet. Every meal you eat needs to include some protein. You can increase your intake of protein by including foods like red meat, salmon, yogurt, fatty fish, beans, tuna, and supplements like whey protein.

In conclusion

Patience, consistency, and a balanced diet are required for healthy weight gain. To promote muscular growth and general health, select foods high in fiber, healthy fats, proteins, and beverages high in calories. Stay away from processed foods and give nutrient-dense meals a priority. You can reach your desired weight and have a stronger, better body shape with a proper plan.

i hate when people find cutesy tiktok speech to avoid saying "difficult" words like "pdf file" or "grape", "corn", especially in a place where there is no consequence for just saying the word. it feels infantile and disrespectful especially when talking about serious topics like sexual abuse or addiction or incest or whatever

however i just saw someone call drake a "spawn camper" and that's the funniest thing i've read all week. this one can stay

Candy Store is ✨Problematic✨ Part 2!!!

Happy Halloween!

Before anyone gets on my ass about “UGH you’re reading too much into this! It’s just a song, it’s not that serious!” You’re right! Straight up, you are absolutely right! It is just a song. It is not that serious. I can enjoy this song for what it is. BUT I can also acknowledge it promotes bad behavior on the part of those fictional characters. And as we all know, promoting bad behavior is notoriously a no-no with antis, who are all about protecting the sweet innocent little immensely impressionable baby childrens from the big bad moral wickedness and impurities of this fucked-up world we live in by exterminating everything they subjectively deem Badwrong. Which includes listening to songs about it. ROCK MUSIC IS THE DEVIL, ONLY GOOD CHRISTIAN MUSIC IN THIS HOUSEHOLD! JESUS!

I’m doing antis’ job for them. They have a laundry list of reasons why J.D. sucks and JDronica is toxic and you shouldn’t ship them when there’s (lmfao) “many less problematic and more interesting wlw ships”. And yet. Yet these same people ship Chansaw, or Dukesaw, or Mcnamawyer, or Poly!Heathers+Veronica. What’s the difference between Heathers and J.D.? Canonically, none of the Heathers ships are Healthy and Unproblematic, not even Mcnamawyer. Hmm... what is different indeed... I guess we’ll never know, it’ll always be a mistery.

Anyway, let’s lick our way to the center of the Tootsie Pop that is Candy Store and break down why it’s ✨problematique✨. Section by section, line by problematic line, hand in unlovable hand. Buckle up, corn nuts. This is going to get long.

Are we gonna have a problem? You got a bone to pick? You’ve come so far, why now are you pulling on my dick? I’d normally slap your face off And everyone here could watch But I’m feeling nice Here's some advice Listen up biotch!

Starting off strong, we clearly do have a problem! This entire 3-minute song is Chandler’s response to Veronica expressly refusing to go along with her plans. The point of this song is to put pressure on Veronica in order to get her to go along with what Chandler wants: pranking Martha Dunnstock by writing her a fake love note signed by the boy Martha adores so much. Why does Chandler want to do this to Martha? Because she found out about the kiss on the kickball field in kindergarten. Something that happened over 10 years ago for them. The first thing she does with a new tidbit of information is to use it to hurt the person it’s about. GENIUS!! WOW!!!!

“I’d normally slap your face off / And everyone here could watch,” ah, yes, because assault is an appropriate response to being told “no.” You know who does that? Spoiled brats. Normally. She regularly assaults people? Her go-to response when people tell her no is to slap them? Normally? Normalizing? Normalizing violence? In this fictional universe? Right in front of my salad? Yikes. Stay classy, Heather, you’re beautiful.

(I like) Lookin’ hot Buying stuff They can not (I like) Drinking hard Maxing dad’s credit card (I like) Skippin’ gym Scarin’ her Screwin’ him (I like) Killer clothes Kickin’ nerds in the nose!

Brag, brag, brag, brag, BRAG!

“Drinking hard,” Um, Heather? You’re 17. Drinking underage? Illegal. The drinking age in 1989 Ohio may’ve been 19, but girl. GIRL. You’re not even 18. You know, 18? The age where one is considered an adult? Which means you’re a minor. A minor drinking alcohol is illegal. That’s illegal, Heather. Heather? That’s illegal, you shouldn’t be doing that. HEATHER UNDERAGE DRINKING IS PROBLEMATIC! HEATHER!!! IF MINORS DRINK THE ADULT GRAPE JUICE IT’S BAD HEATHER STOP GLORIFYING UNDERAGE DRINKING!!!

Okay, seriously, that’s a problem. Problematic, if you will. She shouldn’t be drinking PERIOD, much less drinking HARD. Alcohol can be addictive, and addiction is not something to strive for (and I know everyone else drinks and smokes and all that jazz in Big Fun, but we’re not talking about Big Fun right now). I’m not going to say she gets blackout drunk every time she drinks, but the way she’s going, it wouldn’t surprise me if, in a world where she makes it out of Westerburg alive and becomes an adult instead of playing at being one, she suffers from alcoholism. The younger you start, the easier it is to get entangled, right? Drinking hard, smdh.

“Maxing Dad’s credit card.” I mean, she’s got a sports car, 3 TVs, a shitton of other material things listed in that forged suicide note, and she clearly doesn’t have a paying job to get all that. Of course she can “buy stuff they cannot” when all she’s doing is spending Daddy’s money. We don’t know what the Heathers’ relationships with their parents are like, so “poor sad neglected daddy issues Chandler uwu” is no more canon than “doting father oblivious to his child’s spoiled rotten bitchy nature Chandler,” or even “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree Chandler.” If you ask me, the latter are much more interesting than the former. If J.D.’s mommy issues don’t give him a pass for his actions (and they don’t), giving Chandler daddy issues can’t either. Sorry, that’s just how it works. Even playing field.

And “kicking nerds in the nose.” Come on. It’s just a power trip, we all know this. There is no good reason for this unless stepping on other people makes you feel good. That doesn’t make you a good person, or even a likable person. And yet? Chandler’s more loved in this fandom than she is in her own actual fictional universe. Hey antis, how does that work if she’s the embodiment of problematic? If she makes bad things look cool, that’s glorifying. If she makes it look bad, that’s okay because she’s making bad things look wrong as they should be, but she’s not. She’s doing the exact opposite. She LIKES all these things. Help a girl out, where’s the logic? Why are you agreeing with this? None of this is good!

If you lack the balls You can go play dolls Let your mommy fix you a snack (whoa!) Or you could come smoke Pound some rum and coke In my Porsche with the quarterback (whoa, whoa, whoa!)

The dichotomy here. It’s one or the other. If you’re not this, you’re that. If you’re not smoking and drinking and engaging in destructive yet hardcore Adult activities, you’re a little Baby playing @barbieswithbettyfinn (heyy girl!) who needs Mommy to take care of you. There’s no middle ground in Chandler’s mind, no such thing as nuance. It’s black or white, not both. You’re cool or you’re not. You’re in or you’re out. Up or down. You’re either with us or a square, Veronica! I can see why antis like this song, ironic as that is. It validates their need for absolutes.

“Or you could come smoke / pound some rum and coke,” Wow, more drinking! Wooo! Still bad! And now smoking too! Another adult thing she should not have access to! Both have the potential to be addictive, and as I said earlier, addiction is NOT GOOD. Alcohol destroys the liver, smoking blackens your lungs and could give you cancer. Heather Chandler is, again, 17. She should not be engaging in, much less encouraging, these behaviors. Yet here she is, framing it as the better of the only two options she presents. THIS SHOULD NOT BE SEEN AS COOL. A lot of teens don’t drink or smoke but they also don’t play with actual dolls. There’s not just two ways to be, but according to Chandler, it’s either her way or the highway. You’re either a Big Kid or you’re a Baby.

Honey, whatchu waitin’ for? Welcome to my candy store! Time for you to prove you’re not a loser anymore! And step into my candy store!

Oh look, we got to the thesis statement.

Reiterating what I said before, this song is meant to peer pressure Veronica into doing what the Heathers (specifically Chandler) wants. This reinforces the dichotomy from the previous section: you’re either cool or you’re a loser, so which is it? They’re giving her a test while presenting it as a choice: there’s only one right answer and it’s not the one Veronica wants. This song is also pulling double duty as propping up the Heathers on a pedestal. Look at how cool they are! Look at all the cool things they brag about doing or being able to do, like smoking and drinking and bullying the fat girl just because they can! They make it look sooooo fun to be assholes! Is that not GLORIFYING problematic and toxic behavior?

Guys fall At your feet Pay the check Help you cheat! All you Have to do Say goodbye To Shamu! That freak’s Not your friend I can tell in the end! If she Had your shot She would leave You to rot!

Chandler built the foundation, now McNamara and Duke are adding onto it. Oh boy.

“Pay the check,” Guys treating them and paying on their dates isn’t that bad, but we have to remember the Heathers are established to be pretty well-off financially. It might’ve been okay for the times, and simps gonna simp especially if they’re trying to get something out of it, but nowadays... chalk that up to values dissonance. There might also be something to have Duke say this line since she’s the one with the bout of bulimia. In which case, that just makes it worse. A guy didn’t pay for you to throw it all up, Heather.

“Help you cheat!” I don’t think I need to explain why cheating in school is bad. Schools are always discouraging it (yet they don’t exactly make it so there’s less incentive not to do it). This line also plants the seed in our heads that McNamara is the dumbest of the Heathers since she’s not learning anything or thinking for herself. She just copies what everyone else does, which fits with her character perfectly.

“All you have to do / Say goodbye to Shamu!” Attempt to control who Veronica hangs out with. All Veronica has to do to win big in boys, booze, and the last year of her high school career is just abandon her old best friend (which she’s already done, or close to it) AND while she’s at it, plant false hope in said best friend that the boy she knows does not like her back might possibly actually like her back! Time to pick a side, Ronnie! Shiny new cool friends or dull old loser friends? Also, casual fatphobia? Shamu was a killer whale. Comparing a fat person to a whale? I know it rhymed though, but still. Susie Q could’ve fit too.

“That freak’s / not your friend / I can tell in the end,” McNamara can’t tell shit. At this point she’s been copying answers off the other two Heathers for so long she doesn’t know what a genuine friend is until she tries to kill herself. And more juvenile name-calling.

“If she / had your shot / she would leave you to rot!” Would she, though? First, the first thing we find out about Martha is she’s been Veronica’s best friend since diapers. They’re seniors in high school now—that’s their entire lives. It takes a lot of work to maintain a friendship for that long, and the fact that Veronica still considers Martha her best friend shows it’s genuine and not because they’re each other’s only option. When Veronica trades up, the one line she repeatedly refuses to cross is hurting Martha. Although she feels a bit neglected, Martha is very supportive of Veronica’s new status as a Heather, even calling it “exciting,” and she doesn’t hold Veronica flaking out on movie night against her. When Martha suspects J.D. of killing Kurt and Ram, she doesn’t suspect Veronica, even though she knows about Veronica’s penchant for forgery. There’s an extraordinary amount of mutual loyalty there. Martha’s unwavering faith in Veronica is only shaken when Veronica reveals the truth about the love note in another moment of desperation, and Veronica regrets hurting her immediately afterwards.

Second, this line shows us what the Heathers think friendship is: when opportunity comes knocking, it’s every girl out for herself. Chandler keeps the clique on a very tight leash, consistently being verbally abusive to Duke and controlling to Veronica, but not to McNamara because McNamara never questions or undermines her authority. Duke, meanwhile, resents Chandler to hell and back, and lashes out at both Veronica and McNamara at opportune moments (after the date and during the assembly respectively). McNamara didn’t get a lot to do, but Lifeboat shows us she’s very aware of the opportunistic approach when it comes to social relations with her peers: she never once mentions the word friends, only “people I know” and perhaps most prominently, “if I say the wrong thing / or I wear the wrong outfit / they’ll throw me right over the side!”

The point is, the Heathers don’t know Martha at all and they don’t care to. But they’re not above casting doubt in Veronica’s mind to manipulate her into turning against Martha even more than she already has. All they have to do is make her THINK Martha would betray her as easily as she betrayed Martha, and let that guilt fester into vindictiveness.

Course, if you don’t care Fine, go braid her hair Maybe Sesame Street is on! (whoa!) Or forget that creep And get in my jeep Let’s go tear up someone’s lawn! (whoa, whoa, whoa!)

Here we see more of the child/adult dichotomy. Braiding hair and Sesame Street OR...

“Let’s go tear up someone’s lawn!” Oh, Chandler. People work hard on their lawns and that’s not for you guys to tear it up with your wheels. The disrespect. Truly we stan some QUEENS here.

Honey, whatchu waitin’ for? Welcome to my candy store! You just gotta prove you’re not a pussy anymore! And step into my candy store!

Wow, such big girls! They upped the ante on the name calling! Don’t be a pussy, Veronica! That’s a vulgar word. Classy.

You can join the team (or you can bitch and moan) You can live the dream (or you can die alone) You can fly with eagles Or if you prefer Keep on testing me And end up like her!

Again, you’re either with us OR not. And if you’re with us, you must leave everything of your former life behind because that’s not good enough anymore. You’re better than that now. You can have it all, or you can have nothing.

“Keep on testing me / and end up like her!” That’s a threat. If you keep disagreeing with me, fuck around and find out bitch! Boy, canon Chansaw is so healthy. Just relationship goals asf! No wonder people ship them, love having a controlling partner who’s not afraid to keep threatening to pull the rug from under you, mmm! Healthy shit!

“Veronica, look! Ram invited me to his homecoming party! This proves he's been thinking about me!” “...Color me stoked!” “I’m so happy!”

With the Heathers hounding her for two-thirds of the song, Veronica folds. She’s still desperate to cling to her newfound security blanket of popularity so she puts up with the Heathers’ (mainly Chandler’s, let’s be real) bullshit. We know this will have drastic consequences later, but for now, she still thinks it’s worth the price she paid to make it there. People who pressure you into doing something you’ve made it very clear you’re uncomfortable with and don’t want to do? Not people you want to be around. Toxic and problematic. But I guess we can ignore that because who cares, they’re pretty! That doesn’t hold up for Kurt and Ram and J.D. though, just the Heathers. Double standards much? Sure, schoolyard bullying isn’t as drastic as rape and murder, but that doesn’t take away from the fact it’s still NOT GOOD HEALTHY MORAL BEHAVIOR.

For now the Heathers win the battle. Veronica keeps her mouth shut about the prank.

Honey whatchu waitin’ for? Shut up, Heather! Step into my candy store! (Time for you to prove you’re not a lameass anymore!) And step into my candy store It’s my candy store It’s my candy It’s my candy store It’s my candy It’s my candy store It’s my candy store!

Remember when I said Chandler’s adamant this is her song? This is, what, the third “Shut up, Heather!” we’ve gotten so far? And I don’t think I need to say pushing people is just rude (and more assault?). Especially to take back the spotlight for yourself—Chandler’s so desperate to be the center of attention, she can’t share it even with the girls who are supposed to be her friends. In fact, she doesn’t even seem to like any of them: she ignores McNamara for the most part (which ironically plays into why people think she likes her more), bullies the fuck out of Duke (bully x victim ship mmmmm! Not “problematic” at all!), and only lets Veronica in based on what Veronica could do for her (totally healthy to base your relationship on what your partner can do for you (this part applies to both parties btw) and threaten to take away her status every time her pesky morals get in the way of your fun! Totally not toxic or abusive whatsoever!).

If “everyone here could watch” Chandler slap Veronica had she done that, then they’re certainly out here watching her push Duke, her fellow Heather, and she gets away with it because she’s the leading Heather, and she really doesn’t give a shit what people think of her. They know she’s awful, and yet they still want her favor because she’s this rich bitch who will pitch the ultimate fit if she doesn’t get what she wants. The one she’s throwing right now makes for a great song.

The title is called Candy Store due to the simile “like a kid in a candy store.” Kids like candy, so to be in a store full of it is like a dream. But this is Heathers, so the candy isn’t sugar, spice, and everything nice, and the dream comes at a very high cost, one Veronica is clearly starting to regret investing in. With “coworkers” like Chandler around, could you blame her? Toxic work environment as fuck. It’s more like Veronica’s only coworkers with Duke and McNamara. You don’t work with Chandler, you work for her. You are not her equal and she won’t hesitate to let you know it. She’s the bitchiest boss and no one actually likes her. Except McNamara because, as stated before, Chandler ignores her for the most part. She leaves her alone. It’s not much, but it’s enough for one person to be believably sad about Chandler’s death later on. See what happens when you’re not a cunt to absolutely everyone?

So, in conclusion, this song is problematic as fuck. It slaps, but the Heathers are explicitly leveraging all the things they’re able to get away with as a means to entice Veronica into agreeing to hurt her best friend. They’re trying so hard to get her to cross the one boundary she has, and this is just the first time.

Why?

Because Heather Chandler just wants to bully the fat girl, who has done nothing to her ever. Because why not? Because fuck Martha. No one else will, right?

V/A: Miyu Tomita

Rap voice: Yena Choi

Stage actor: Yena Choi

Appearance

Miku is an average-height girl with rosy skin and small piercing ice-blue eyes. She has straight, metallic ice-blue hair that reaches down the middle of her back and is shaped into a wolf cut, her fringe parting in a messy left side-part.

Her street attire consists of a cropped black lace-up tank, black high waisted skinny jeans, a translucent jacket that gradients to a midnight-blue color and litters with star-shaped sequins, white high tops, and a black baseball hat. She has four piercings on each ear: two lobes and her lower and upper helixes. She tends to wear different jewelry everyday, depending on her mood, but one piece of jewelry she doesn’t leave the house without is her silver sword necklace. A habit that she has picked up during her many years as an idol is that she never leaves her apartment without makeup. She currently sports minimally smoky eyes with blue, white, and silver fine glitter.

When she’s at home, she sports a loose cream-colored button-up with a deep neckline, exposing the top of her lacy blush-pink bralette, finished with white satin shorts.

Personality

Miku is generally a mature, serious person with somewhat of a short temper and does not like being pestered. As a result of multiple incidents in the entertainment business, she developed a cold and distrusting attitude toward most people. She has lost all patience for overeager and aggressive netizens who continue to accost her in public and inconvenience others.

However, she does have a softer side to her and still remains humble, despite her popularity as an idol. Queen Card notes that one of Miku’s best traits is that she is incredibly loyal to the people she cares about, be it her fans, family, or friends.

Ability

Her rap ability, Curse, allows the impact of her blows to linger in her opponent’s mind, even when it's no longer her turn.

Trivia

Miku is left-handed.

She likes grapes, dancing, crystals, astrology, and scented candles while she dislikes naivety, deception, and judgmental people.

Her favorite food is miso-grilled corn while her least favorite food is cucumbers.

She can play the piano, guitar, flute, karimba, erbane drum, and the harp. Even before her signing to a talent agency, she was writing her own music and composing songs of her own, leading her to become a prodigious idol after her debut.

Due to her mother being her vocal coach growing up, she grew proficient in singing in several different genres and styles aside from pop, ranging from: throat singing, rock, metal, opera, and musical theatre.

Her parents are Reiaki’s neighbor, and they live on the same floor. When she was an idol, she was living in the same apartment as her manager.

She was homeschooled all throughout her idol career.

Plot (Contains Spoilers and Sensitive Topics)

Behind The Glass Stains

Two days before the Division Rap Battle preliminaries, her makeup artist and friend, Reiaki Suzubyashi, is celebrating the first birthday of her roommate's son, Ayato Yumesato. Despite not being able to attend due to the hectic schedule that comes with being an idol during promotion season, she had her mother deliver a birthday present to the birthday boy in her stead. Reiaki video chats to Miku as she's waiting for her turn to perform for the night. Miku takes notice of Ayato's mother, Juri Yumesato, and reacts in a wary manner, announcing her worry for her and the toddler.

After the music show that took place at Yokohama's broadcast station ended that night, a sleepy Miku gets into her manager, Shohei Ikeishi's car to rest before the repeating the same schedule the following day. She responds unenthusiastically at the thought of repeating the same schedule yet again, which prompts Ikeishi to point out that Miku is burnt out due to her workload. She stubbornly denies his statement and expresses that she works hard for the sake of her fans, refusing to admit that she was overworked. The exchange dies down as she points out to Ikeishi that he missed the exit he needed to get them home, to which he points out that they were being followed ever since they left the broadcast station. She is horrified upon learning this and her drowsiness takes over, blacking out completely. The next morning, news break out that the vehicle that carried Miku and Ikeishi had crashed violently into Yokohama's container port, where Ikeishi was reported dead and Miku missing from the scene.

Several days later, Miku gains consciousness, though still lethargic, and finds herself chained to a bed and bandaged carelessly. She is met with a man whose face she can't quite make out in her state, though he claims to be a loyal fan. When she fully comes to, she is horrified to find that the unfamiliar room she is contained in is covered from floor to ceiling in photos of herself, and strangely enough, less horrified to learn that the man had sex with her unconscious body. When he is called out for his assault, he attacks her back viciously with the fact that idols are supposed to save their love only for their fans and yet Miku had already lost her virginity before him. She begins to reflect on the day she signed to Universal Key Entertainment. Eager to be able to sing and perform for a living, and even more eager to see "the colors that surrounded the idols," her dreams were quickly crushed when she learned that in exchange for signing a contract with the label and being a top model, she would have to have sex with CEO Hayashida whenever he called for it, though he stated that she would have to hide this from her manager he would assign to her. Unwilling to give up on her dream, she agreed to the terms. She begins evaluating her six years of idol work along with the odd and dangerous encounters with other fans, ultimately deciding it was still worth it for the fans who did find solace in her music. Hearing this revelation, her captor seemingly cools down and "forgives" her for "such a whorish past".

Why is it not a good idea to feed birds bread? If you have already been asked this just link a post you’ve made.

I don't think I've actually posted about this yet, so thanks for the ask! Feeding bread as an occasional treat is ok, but it becomes a serious issue when it starts to make up the bulk of that bird's regular diet, which is what classically happens with wild waterfowl in parks and that sort of thing.

Bread itself isn't terrible. A bit of whole-grain bread in your diet is healthy, even. But it's not a nutritionally complete and balanced food on its own, so you can't eat it all day every day. If you did, your body would begin to suffer the effects of certain nutrient, vitamin, and mineral deficiencies. Birds are no different.

Overfeeding bread results in "angel wing deformity' in young waterfowl, in which the feathers and bones of the carpal joint grow at uneven rates, and it becomes excessively pronated, or flipped upward. If left untreated, this deformity becomes permanent (and obviously, the bird is unable to fly). Geese in particular are especially prone to this issue, as their natural diet largely consists of less nutrient-dense grasses and forage, leaving them more sensitive to the harmful effects bread, which has a relatively higher protein content. In other types of birds, especially granivorous (seed-eating) species, excess dietary protein can cause gout. Birds with chronic gout experience great pain due to waste products from protein metabolism being deposited into their joints. This process is irreversible, and death usually follows a few weeks later.

If you still really want to feed the local ducks at the park, healthier alternatives such as seed (suitable for feeding wild birds), cracked corn, grapes, etc., are great options!

We Were Always Going to End Up Together - Ch 7

Suptober 22, Day 7: Fine Wine

On AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42237885/chapters/106840401

(Or read from the beginning: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42237885/chapters/106051008)

Dean wrapped the blankets around Cas’ shoulders a little tighter as they snuggled together on the couch. Dean had no idea exactly where all their clothes had ended up but it hardly mattered right this minute. Dean had had fleeting ideas of taking things slower with Cas, making sure to protect his heart a little before falling into bed with the guy, but all that got thrown out the window as soon as they had made it across the threshold of Dean’s apartment. Now cuddled on the sofa, sweat drying and both thoroughly sated, Dean pressed play on Galaxy Quest since it wasn’t that late and it was a great excuse for Cas to stay a little longer.

“I once dated a man who looked like Tim Allen,” stated Cas as the movie started and the actor appeared on screen.

“Oh God, it’s not me right?”

“No. You know you’re much better looking than him. Now shush.”

“Sorry.”

“Anyway, he told me that I was aging like fine wine.”

“That’s…. nice?”

“I was twenty-four. He was a year younger than me.”

Dean burst into giggles.

“He said many things like that. I started feeling like an old geezer.”

“How old are you now?”

“Nearly forty.”

“Ancient then.” “Don’t tell me you’re secretly still in your twenties? I can’t take being compared to moldering grapes again.”

“No, no. Thirty-five. So just a bit younger.”

“I guess that’s ok.”

“Did you want me to change it? I could easily pass for thirty-seven. Or even thirty-eight if I added a little gray to my temples.”

“Thank you,” said Cas with a kiss to Dean’s cheek.

“For what?”

“Letting me be absurd.”

“Dude…”

“And being absurd with me.”

“Is it that unusual?”

“Yes.”

“Even living with Gabe? He strikes me as a lover of the absurd.”

“Only when it’s his. As much as he cajoles me to join in, he wants me to be the serious one.”

“Why?”

“So he doesn’t have to be.”

“Makes sense. It’s sorta like me and Sammy, but he wants both of us to be the serious one.”

“Sam doesn’t like your jokes?”

“Nope. Plus he wants me to focus more.”

“On what?”

“I dunno. He makes lots of noises about preparing for my future and paying more attention to my career, but it’s all stuff that I just don’t care that much about.”

“What’s your career?”

“I don’t really have one. I do data work for a bunch of firms, but Sam wants to talk about my path and the next steps for me to ‘level up’.”

“Are there no steps?”

“Don’t care if there are. I like what I do. I work from home, have flexible hours, decent pay. I don’t want my whole like to be about getting ahead.”

“Sounds okay to me.”

“Says the man who is currently working as a corn maze landlord and sometime scarecrow performer.”

Cas raised his eyebrows at Dean.

“Sammy would not approve.”

“Does that bother you.”

“Nah. It used to. Busted up a pretty decent relationship I had a long time ago. Sammy’s just going to have to cope this time.”

“I like the sound of flexible.” Cas trailed a finger down Dean’s bare chest.

“Why Mr. Novak are you trying to seduce me?”

“I believe I am succeeding, not trying.”

“Watch your movie old man.”

They both stretched as the credits rolled. Dean was smiling happily to himself. Cas had laughed at all the best parts and the physical closeness felt a little like magic. It was easily the best first date Dean had ever had and he hoped there would be quite a few to follow. Dean shivered as Cas tossed the blanket aside and stood up, removing his warmth from Dean’s side. Definitely needed to have that body pressed against his again.

“Hey man, can I get your number? Assuming that Gabe was texting me with his…”

“Don’t you need your phone for that?”

Dean grinned. “I guess we better find it. Probably need to search the bedroom thoroughly.”

Dean’s eyebrow wiggle paired with what he hoped was a sexy pout made Cas chuckle darkly. “While I appreciate that idea, I should really get home.”

Dean tried to hide his disappointment behind a neutral face, but feared he was failing at that pretty spectacularly. “Yeah, sure.”

“I will make sure you have my number.”

“Yeah?”

“Yes.”

They stared at each other, somewhat sappy looks on their faces before the chill in the air got them moving again. There was much unnecessary bumping and touching and small kisses as they made their way back to Dean’s bedroom, collecting bits of their belongings as they went. Dean fished his phone out of his pants pocket but opted to put on soft pajama pants and a tshirt instead of his previous outfit. Cas dressed with regrettable speed.

When Dean read out the number that had texted him asking for a date, they were both surprised that it was indeed Cas’ number and not Gabe’s.

“He must have texted you and then deleted the thread from my phone.”

“Maybe change your pin for your phone?”

“Definitely.”

Dean quickly sent a smiley face to Cas’ phone and then wasn’t sure what to say. Cas looked equally awkward with much shifting and fidgeting between the two of them. Finally Dean laughed at little at them both which seemed to break the tension.

“I suppose I’ll have to thank Gabriel.”

“Only if you want to take the high road.”

“Is that what you would do?”

Dean thought about that for a minute. “Probably not. Wouldn’t want anyone to start thinking I was a good guy or anything.”

Cas cocked his head at him and grabbed his hand. “I think you probably are a good guy.”

“Well, you haven’t known me very long.”

“Are you an axe-murderer?”

“Nah. Too messy. I prefer poison.”

“Typically thought of as a woman’s weapon.”

“Keeps people guessing.”

“Makes sense. Throw them off your trail.”

“Exactly.”

That bit of ridiculousness over, Dean and Cas stood there holding hands in Dean’s bedroom. He couldn’t quite get over how much he didn’t want any of this to end or even pause for a minute.

Taking a deep breath, Dean decided to risk some sincerity. “I had a great time tonight Cas.”

“So did I.”

“Can we do this again?”

“Which part?”

“All of it? Any of it?”

“Of course Dean. I’ll have more time after the maze closes, but we should still be able to find time to spend together.”

“Well, I mostly work a traditional nine to five schedule. I really want to see you again.”

Cas squeezed Dean’s hand. “Then you will.” Cas pulled Dean towards himself for a kiss. It took quite a bit of effort and many stops and starts before they finally made their way to Dean’s front door, the kisses getting shorter and shorter, hands still clasped together, neither of them in a hurry to actually say goodbye. They did though, finally, and with tongue until Dean was alone in his apartment, face flushed and heart happy.

Normally talks in a deeper voice though

He has a drum set and can play really well

Dick bought him one when he was 14 to let out anger or some shit and he's been dedicated to it ever since

Points out every dog he sees to his friends

Towards the end of the school day he takes off his tie and unbuttins his shirt a bit because he actually hates dress clothes

Only gets dress coded by a few male teachers because he's has every female and every gay in the building falling for him

Been asked to join multiple sports teams but declines because he hates sports

He just doesn't understand

Actually has more issues with Jason than he does with Tim

Jason teases him to no end and he hates every second of it

Has never had a girlfriend but has been given way too many love letters

He burns them all

He's an assassin of darkness he doesn't need love, except from his animals

When he jokes everyone thinks he's serious and its creepy

He either has a sinister sense of humor or none at all

He laughs about Jason getting hit with a crowbar

Doesn't smile much, but when he does it's the most adorable thing ever

His eyes start to sparkle

He has this cute little smile

It'll make you melt into a puddle on the floor

But he also has that demonic toothy grin that makes him look possessed

He'll let Mar'i paint his nails and if anyone comments on it they'll be beheaded

Rarely exercises

He doesn't need to he was mutated to peak human form

He's always on the move, he has to be busy with something

Gets along really with the bartenders at galas

He doesn't have to ask them for drinks they just give it to him out of pity

His favorite song is "Roadtrip". The Dream one. Will take this fact to his grave.

He also like Earth Wind and Fire thanks to Dick but won't admit it

Hates Grape-flavored anything, finds it disgusting and tastes nothing like an actual grape

He also doesn't like corn. The canned kind. That and anything that remotely smells like beets

Other than that he's not a picky eater unless you put meat Infront of him

Do not insult his Vegetarian cuisine

Bonus headcanons

Once called Clark "Father" on accident and Jon won't let him live it down

Shortest of the bunch, the order is Jon, Colin, Billy, Damian

It pisses him off

Once drank from Colin's water bottle on accident

Colin brags that he indirectly kissed Dami

He can rap

He can FLUENTLY rap to "Rap God" mind you

And that's it for the Dami Headcanons

some concept playlists

the sun tastes different in every place; all you have is the dust, a car, your partner in crime, your freedom, and a heart hungry for adventure.

laying in the garden under the bright warm sun, lingering memories of a past summer love, eyes closed and slowly drifting off to sleep.

a chilly autumn day, you’re all cozied up in your bedroom with a warm drink to fight the common cold.

old buildings and even older books, you stay true to the classics by raising hell with your friends while wearing plaid and a black turtleneck. you’ll probably take part in bacchanalia at some point. (a dark academia playlist)

southern america is not all corn fields and heavy sun ; it’s also dust storms and the uneasy feeling that everything won’t turn out okay. the great depression is taking everything from you and you have to fight teeth and nail to survive in this cruel world. (a southern gothic playlist heavily influenced by the grapes of wrath)

a collection of piano pieces to relax/study to.

somewhere in england in the eighties, you’re a dispirited teen trying to find meaning to your life while being the witness of the disintegration of working class culture. you hate thatcher, and you are gay.

it’s 2005, and you’re spending the summer with your friends at the skate park. this is the best summer of your life, but you don’t know it yet. (a collection of punk rock anthems, it’s not that serious)

#spotify playlist #playlists #concept playlist #taking requests i love making playlists!!!!#ok to rb!!

Okay, so I don't really know how to use Tumblr still but I have very complex thoughts about food colors and I have organize them into a tier list immediately. Literally don't know where else to put this. (NOT COUNTING DESSERTS!!!!) (spoilers for real life)

Okay so S tier:

Red food!!!!! All red food is good. Tomatoes are huge. Red meat is the best meat probably. Does red meat count as red when it's cooked??? It's kinda more born. Don't care it's staying. Red peppers can be good. Apples are a good fruit. Just overall high quality every time really give it up for red.

A tier!!! 1!

Green food!! Almost S tier but then I thought about it and I don't like pears or green beans that much, which are two strikes against it. Green foods are like basically just vegetables. Pickles are good, salad is good. I'm pretty sure everyone likes a good handful of vegetables out of stockholm syndrome. A lot of food is green so overall I think it does a pretty good job. Also it's a popular garnish color I guess.

White food!!!!,!! White rice is a huge boon. Access to dairy like yogurt and white cheeses really bolster up its roster. However I had to put it under green simply because white bread kinda sucks. Really dropped the ball on that one. At least you have chicken.

Brown food!,.! It just has better bread than white. Also potatoes. A very hearty food color.

B tier:

Orange food - Mostly autumn squash and stuff like that. Sweet potato is alright. Pumpkin is big. Very seasonal color. I can dig it.

B- tier:

Yellow food - Originally I was going to put this above orange but while doing my very serious research I've discovered that yellow just seems to be a different color for other foods. Exclusive foods are lemons, corn, bananas, and that's mostly it. Non exclusive stuff is watermelon, peppers, beets, kiwis, figs. Those are all solid foods but those are also foods that are in colors in higher tiers do better. Yellow disappoints me.

C tier:

Blue foods...??? It's just blueberries. That's it. Look up "blue foods" into Google and you will find blue berries and regular food that's dyed blue. What the hell. Blueberries are dope though so I can't deny the technical 100 percent track record.

D tier:

Purple foods................. Wow. A let down. Grapes and plums?? This is just blue foods all over again but you only get a 50 percent grade. That's failing. Get out of here.

F tier:

Black foods just don't exist and when they do its because you burned it and it sucks now. Sorry!

#food #deejay #an original post wow #gaming

Pawpaw: the Ever-Present Ohio Fruit You've Never Heard Of

September in Northeast Ohio usually marks the finale of the abundance of midsummer produce: tomatoes, sweet corn, peppers, concord grapes, zucchini, and the beginning of our glorious annual Ohio apple harvest. A late-summer fruit that’s often overlooked however, is the pawpaw!

Adopted in 2009, the pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is Ohio’s state native fruit and pawpaw trees have populated our hardwood forests for millennia. Common in many states throughout Appalachia and the Ohio valley, the pawpaw is Ohio’s only native fruit. The trees prefer to live on the edge of forests in well-drained soil and have large vibrant tropical-looking simple leaves.

The pawpaw fruit is the largest fruit native to North America, ranging between three and six inches in length. Its skin is green, yellow, or black on the outside and contains a golden avocado-like interior pulp. At the fruit’s center are multiple dark brown seeds comparable in size to nickels. Pawpaws are extremely sweet, with flavors comparable to bananas and mangos.

I’ve been looking intently for pawpaw trees this season and have stumbled upon a few. Shown above, this pawpaw tree is at the Mustill Store Museum in the Cascade Valley MetroPark in Akron. Unfortunately, the tree was bare and there were no pawpaws to be found. There are others lining the grounds of the Highland Square Mustard Seed in Akron. I’ve also seen some very large pawpaw trees while driving south of Wooster.

I did some searching and found a man in Lakewood who operates a small pawpaw orchard out of his backyard. After class a few weeks ago, I hopped in my car and traveled north. I picked up the pawpaws and immediately smelled their ripe sweet aroma. Upon arriving home, I cut open the fruit and ate the yellow flesh with a spoon. Similar in flavor to a banana, pawpaws might be the sweetest fruit I’ve ever tasted. The texture, although soft, was neither mushy nor mealy, and incredibly smooth and silky. The flavor is strong and a little goes a long way. The fruit does not last long, even in the fridge. It is best to eat the pawpaws when they’re ripe or cut them and freeze them to use later.

Pawpaws were important sources of food for Native Americans and European settlers. In the 1500s, European traders in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys documented Native Americans harvesting and collecting pawpaws in late summer. Pawpaws are a living testament to the former Native American villages that once dotted the Ohio plains and forests. Pawpaw groves can be found near iconic Native American sites, including Serpent Mound in Southern Ohio, lingering living witnesses of the region’s former inhabitants.

For the past 23 years, the Ohio Pawpaw festival has been held annually in Albany in Southwest Ohio. The festival aims to celebrate and bring greater awareness to the pawpaw, “through delectable foods, and a full line-up of presentations and activities.” This year’s festival dates are from September 17 – 19. For more information, visit ohiopawpawfest.com. If you can’t make the drive, you can find pawpaw trees throughout the MetroParks and in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Look out for their distinct tropical-looking foliage. They often grow together in groves.

You may find pawpaw venders at local farmers markets, as well. Rainbow Gardens often sells pawpaws at their vendor station at the Countryside Farmers Market, held Saturday mornings in Howe Meadow in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. For more information, visit countrysidefoodandfarms.org.

When searching for pawpaws, I posted an inquiry on Facebook, asking friends if they knew where I could find any. My grandmother, who lives near Dayton, was surprised to see that I was interested in these fruits she perceived as antiquated and unsophisticated. She recalled stories of growing up on a farm in southern Indiana in the 1950s. She and her relatives would snack on fresh pawpaws and persimmons picked from the trees on the farm, bake them into puddings, and feed the rest to the hogs. Pawpaws, to her, seemed insignificant and reminiscent of a bygone era. Why would anyone be interested in pawpaws, today?

Pawpaws are a testament to those who came before us, those from whom Europeans stole this land, those from whom industrial manufacturing and agriculture stole this land, and those enlightened few who revered its bounties and beauty. I don’t find the pawpaw interesting so much for its contribution to gastronomy or its gustatory novelty, but rather its persistent presence throughout our region’s history. They are of this special place in a way we will never quite be, evolving over millennia for the distinct purpose of thriving here. We, in contrast, are simple visitors, an invasive species with the ability to destroy anything we encounter. Despite this, and despite us, this tree, and its strange fruit, persist and will likely carry on once we move onward.

All photos are my own.
