This was like, stupidly good, and despite the tomato + cream no it’s not even in the same zip code as pasta alla vodka.
If you’re looking at this and balking at preserved lemons—a) if you’re anywhere near a Whole Foods, they sell a preserved lemon purée thingie which would work fine, maybe even better, since it texturally blends without any effort b) while I personally cannot be arsed, it’s not that hard to MAKE preserved lemon (chop up some lemons, put them in a jar with salt, ignore for awhile) c) and frankly, if it really came to it, I believe you could could swap in judicious use of straight lemon juice and some extra salt for the preserved lemon.
(Sourcing or replacing the preserved lemon, by the way, is the only even slightly tricky part here. Otherwise this takes like ten minutes and that is accounting for time spent tasting the sauce with your pinky finger and going “hm. another dab of honey and a whisper more of salt, perhaps” five times in a row.)
#given that it’s light on protein I’ve been eating it with fresh ricotta dolloped on the side#which is actually so insanely good???#this is a pretty intense flavor so the bland light sweetness of fresh dairy balances it out kind of perfectly

Anteater Weevil. Smaller than a great anteater and more arboreal, the species combo would eat more termites and sap from trees than ants on the ground.
@weevilsdaily Hope you don't mind me tagging you. Your blog is what got me to get down and fully design an idea I've had for a while.
I love both great anteaters and weevils so so much.
#my art#bug art#insect art#giant anteater#weevil#my cat cricket was enjoyed by so many that i had to make this one too#weevil/anteater would be my ideal pet... smaller than a giant anteater. probably perfectly lap sized#i kept both the ears and the antenna because i think both brings an interesting aspect to the nose/eyes balance#i considered the species having 6 legs but with all the hair it would have been too busy#and idk i like having four legs coming out of a 'thorax' area. that is what gives them the real bug-like feeling i think#because in most arthropods the legs only come out of the thorax

Chen Bowen as CHEN YI & Chiang Tien as AI DI KISEKI: DEAR TO ME (2023)
#kiseki: dear to me#kisekiedit#kdtm#kiseki dear to me#ai di x chen yi#chen yi x ai di#nat chen#chen bowen#louis chiang#chiang tien#jiang dian#userspring#uservid#pdribs#userspicy#userjjessi#*cajedit#*gif#uh huh. mmhm. parallels and shit#OK LIKE. in nice words ai di essentially tells chen yi to go for it BUT bc hes a Lil Shit he says it like 'use force to PROVE how you feel.#followed by '.....OH WAIT YOU CANT BEAT HIM'. the way he rubs that in chen yi's face too like it isnt even 'youre weaker than him.'#it's you're LOWER than him. & thats why ai di calls him a coward bc therell always be a divide between chen yi & cdy that chen yi wont cros#and the point of this is - okay i know chen yi is literally picking ai di up and throwing him around here but also you have to remember#ai di LETS HIM. ai di doesnt fight back as hard as he could and that puts them on EVEN. EQUAL. GROUND. every time.#& yeah theres some comedy to it but you cant Ever forget that ai di wants chen yi to want him. needs it. he's faking sleep in the 1st scene#and once chen yi realizes what he wants he puts everything he has into keeping it - inadvertently taking ai di's advice by doing so -#& expresses it in every kind of way too. whatever it takes. bc between the two of them its not just 'bring him back' it's 'bring him HOME'#in a way thats based on the constantly being witness to the worst of each other & choosing it AND. years and layers of trust & love.#..ok only I would take a gifset of chen yi picking ai di up & make it abt how their relationship is perfectly balanced. but im right so idc#the last one ties it all together in my onion. chen yi got him home. and ai di's deliberately allowing himself to be loved. they won

First thing I post in buttfuck amount of time and of course it's the soccer children. my apologies to everyone who followed me for literally anything else.
some thoughts about them under the cut because tumblr won't let there be more than 30 tags
i think that after drawing it, the Fei design might've grown on me, he just looks so fucking miserable
get that dude comfy clothes and a hot cocoa please
...they made him CEO of time travel malpractice...
so thanks to last trailer i now think i understand why Haru/Harper has such a scary vibe to me : he is severely depressed and has no drive in life.
i don't think he even likes soccer. i don't think he even cares.
i don't think he ever got the chance to know who HE is. he's stuck in his father's shadow and has resigned himself to be there because he doesn't know anything else and doesn't feel like he's allowed to quit
there's so many expectant eyes on this poor boy...
and he IS good at it, so much so that he's known as a soccer monster. but there's no love behind it. i just really feel bad for him.
and then of course... as the protagonist. Unmei/Destin is an instant blorbo. he's such a fun character !
he's got such a good personality ( the deadpan sass, the social impairment, the borderline stalker behavior, the stubbornness... oh i love him. he is neurodivergent. )
AND he's physically disabled rep ( and not in a way that is obvious at first glance ) !! isn't that so cool !
not to mention, maybe he's even got some sort of schizophrenic or schizoaffective disorder ( not that i'm an expert ), because let's be honest, heart disease + neurodivergent + "i see hallucinations of football" combo ? i am staring.
it's worth noting that his hallucinations seemingly stem from a traumatic experience ( yes i count that as a traumatic experience, i mean dude his whole personality changed and he started repressing ) and said trauma is in direct link with his heart condition.
overall what an interesting little lad, i can't wait to see more of him and how he interacts with others as the game progresses ( from trailers it looks like he's slowly regaining his joy of life !! you go little guy, reclaim your passions, find your whimsy )
the blorbo pile is expanding, help.
#sorry if the color balance is off ? i made these doodles on my new tablet and i'm not sure how it changes between devices#anyway#inazuma eleven#inazuma eleven victory road#ina11#victory road#sasanami unmei#destin billows#endou haru#harper evans#fei rune#id in alt text#y'know you'd think after so long i would post art for Metaphor or SMTVV or even Kirby or Pokemon but nope#i am here to inform you that i've circled in hyperfixations so much that i am now at soccer children#i love you inazuma eleven you will always be famous#i don't even like soccer which makes this even funnier#other teka art#by the way if I ever draw victorio i am NOT doing that perfectly vertically striped hair bullshit. how did you even get your hair like that

Stop 🛑 ✋
I need to know who in your ship only sleeps with one pillow and who needs a minimum of 4 carefully placed pillows or their body snaps in half/shatters
#perfectly balanced as all things should be#i personally think Lucanis is chill with only one pillow#Madeleina on the other hand#needs two pillows for her head#one for her arm#and one between the knees for back problems

I had taken seven thousand souls by then. But Lestat was the only one that felt like murder. Semantics, surely, but it's how I felt. He came by invitation. My distraction from the monochromatic landscape. The gray of an obliterated road, the gray-brown of a charred and bullet-ridden city.
#interview with the vampire#loustat#iwtvedit#otp: all my love belongs to you#my edit#my gifs#i love how this perfectly balanced louis' fear and his longing#he invites the image of lestat yet begs him to go away#and i love the implication that he asks him the same question every time: are you going to kill me?#and that he keeps saying he's sorry....#he just... misses him so much.....#he wants to go HOME#anyway........

gen really is the master comforter
i love how gen talks to kids so much. like, the way he explains things in the simplest way so it's easier for them to understand it. when mirai was ditching classes and suika didn't really know why school was all that important either, he told them about how humanity needs to learn from the past to not repeat their mistakes by using tsukasa in a refrigerator as an example. then there was namari who refused to learn and write because she believed it was a medium that could replace her art skills, and gen told her about how art was the precursor of the written language which would only enhance her art. gen explain things using ideas that are closer to the children's heart so they can relate to it. this metaphor is just another example of gen being the caring and delicate person we know he is. he's just... a really, really good teacher and person (like ukyo said) i love he
#oh what i wouldn't do to have the light novel animated#gen wearing fake glasses tooo ooooooh brah i need it#anyways this line to mirai..... when he said that i went woahhh#bc it's such a simple yet relatable metaphor#which is tailored perfectly to a kid's mind#and honestly works just as well for adults too#like a perfect balance#dr stone#s3 dcst tag#gen asagiri

Someone got dressed for an occasion-
...I wonder who chose such a fancy outfit for my Skeptic :]
[This is propaganda for @voice-of-the-sexyman tournament! You can vote at this link!]
[Extra doodles + rambles under the cut (spoiler: it's all Skeptunist)]
...Yes, this entire post is just a ploy for some tournament/propaganda-themed Skeptunist. I really, really wanted for Oppy to choose a fancy outfit for Skeptic for the tourney, and then I couldn't resist making some silly doodles. So there you go!
...Also Oppy failing at flirting with his own partner is absolute gold. Thank you Oppy <3 /silly
#slay the princess#stp fanart#stp voices#stp skeptic#voice of the skeptic#stp opportunist#voice shipping#skeptunist#voice of the sexyman championship#sexyman propaganda#voice of the sexy skeptic#art#fanart#comic#fun fact - the main propaganda drawing was going to be way less detailed and much simpler#but i was having so much fun and got carried away with all the folds and accessories and shading#it was such a fun outfit to draw#good job Oppy - you get an A on choosing an outfit for Skeptic#and then you get an F for fumbling your flirt#perfectly balanced /silly

Thinking of Mydei letting Phainon use him as a fighting dummy...
Mydei knows Phainon enough to know when he's not okay, when something is troubling his mind. And when he can get him to talk they do just that.
But that doesn't always work, as there are times where Phainon won't budge and tell him. Too stubborn for sincerity and maybe scared of his own mind.
Sometimes it's both. As Phainon carries a grief inside that turns into pain and rage, and he doesn't know where to put it if it's not into the battlefield. Mydei is familiar with that feeling.
That is also a fact Phainon's never been willing to truly speak of.
And it's not like Mydei can say it's unexpected. After all, neither is the emotionally open kind, or good with words when it matters.
So when push comes to shove, Mydei can only trust their fists to do the talking—or at least get the ball rolling.
He drags Phainon to the training grounds, where there is no one around to make him hesitate, and pokes the bear. Testing his luck.
Because Mydei knows what buttons to push, and Phainon needs an excuse to let go of his restraints, he takes the bait.
It starts with a punch followed by a kick, and in no time they have turned the training grounds into the battlefield Phainon needs.
Those are fights that would make an onlooker think there was some form of bad blood between them. But to those who know them, it would be easy to see the truth.
As Phainon doesn't even wield a wooden sword, and Mydei never punches back.
Phainon ends up landing blow after blow in a reckless, almost suicidal fashion, screaming from whatever is killing him inside. Only focused on offensive, leaving so many openings for Mydei to take him down. Yet Mydei doesn't retaliate. He stops Phainon's hits, takes a defensive stance, lets the blows land at times.
Because he can take them for him. Whatever is burdening Phainon, he can take it. In all its forms.
To make sure he gets it all out Mydei keeps provoking him to go further, harder, all out. "Is that all you got?" "Was that supposed to hurt?" "C'mon, I know you can do better." Anything he can think of to make Phainon not hesitate.
And each time, without fail, at some point Phainon abruptly stops. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later.... His eyes get teary, and he just... Breaks. He falls to his knees, sobbing about something he cannot put words to. His shoulders shaking and he cannot even bring himself look at Mydei from the shame of his actions.
And each time Mydei sighs, mentally making a note to make sure to change the blankets to something softer tonight. He approaches Phainon, sits on the floor, and waits quietly for him to reach out.
Eventually Phainon does just that. Nothing verbal, though. He just leans against Mydei and closes his eyes, not even daring ask for a hug or comfort.
But Mydei understands, of course he does, and offers him one either way.
Without a fail they end up on the floor, quiet, in an awkward hug. Mydei turning his body and Phainon leaning in with his full weight, both sitting next to each other, their clothes getting dirty from being on the floor.
It's uncomfortable, and Phainon's muscles burn from the strain and from landing all the hits wrong. But it's okay, he can get a massage later. His knuckles are bruised, but it's okay, Mydei will just bandage those and scold him for being careless later.
After a while Phainon stops crying, just taking in the sounds around him. The birds, the people from afar, the wind, Mydei's heartbeat. The world is so full of things to consider, big and small. And eventually he softly pushes Mydei away, getting up.
Giving him a silent look Mydei gets up with him, making a wordless question. "Are you okay now?"
And Phainon answers just as silently, offering a small, tired smile.
They don't talk about the specifics of the pain. Whatever it is, now has calmed down. If it really is that important they can talk about it at home later, when Phainon is too exhausted to argue about it or find clever ways of evading the topic.
Someone has to help Phainon carry the burden, make it bearable. And Mydei can do just that. Or at least make it so Phainon has in him something to load the overflowing parts of himself to.
If nothing else, he can do what he's good at and take the blow as many times as Phainon needs. Then help him pick up the pieces and rebuild that gentleness they both know, or at least Mydei knows, is core to him.
He will take anything Phainon has to give. Including the rage, the pain and the suffering, because it's all Phainon's.
And, of course, each time this happens, they spend the night some trashy movie and cuddle for hours in bed after having cooked Phainon's favorite dish and pomegranate cake for dinner together.
#honkai star rail#amphoreus#phainon#mydei#phaidei#myphai#myphaidei#but yeah#Phainon can break a thousand times#and Mydei will be there to take the hit#i guess that rather than a fighting dummy Mydei is more like a stress ball#and he's happy to that for his man#Phainon is Mydei's chew toy and Mydei is Phainon's stress ball#perfectly balanced#the writing is a little very much clunky so sorry for that haha#my headcanons#my bullshit
