Todays rip: 17/04/2024

Super Wonderful World

Season 2 Featured on: The Voice's Highest Quality Video Game Rips

Ripped by Marrow

(Curious about the abnormal audio embed? Read more here)

It's kind of ridiculous that I've taken this long to actually write something about Marrow that isn't so directly tied to his passing, isn't it? Like, yes, Telling Fish Tales is an absolutely beautiful rip, it is still likely my favorite of all of Marrow's output, don't get me wrong...but there was more to the guy than just his death, you know? The tributes have all been beautiful, to be sure, I love 8​-​bit Fish With Dreams in particular, but I want to discuss Marrow's own rips more as well as those. Because while I might not have known Marrow, and can't claim to know anything about him as a person, I know he was just a genuinely good, sincere, funny ripper, and Super Wonderful World is just a damn fun rip.

I've been wanting to cover something from Super Mario Sunshine on here for a very long time - it has almost as much of a notable presence on the channel as its older brother on the Nintendo 64, particularly in the early days. Super Mario 64's Slider theme is unbeatable, of course, WA-HOO DISCO and its brethren can't be toppled, but there's a case to be made that Super Mario Sunshine's iconic acapella-driven Secret Course theme is a more fun listen in terms of rips. There's just something inherently funny about remixing voice samples, even in an acapella context - there's tons of rips of Secret Course in particular because of this, that all play with those deews and doos to great effect.

Super Wonderful World is no exception to that, and the joke of it is made apparent just a few seconds into your listen, arranging Louis Armstrong's lovely What a Wonderful World with those aforementioned acapella sounds, yet...for some reason, it is still likely the one Secret Course rip that has stuck with me the longest. I'm not even sure if its due to any one reason I can pinpoint other than just "Marrow Magic": maybe its my attachment to What a Wonderful World from hearing it at a young age in the original Madagascar, or maybe its the sheer juxtaposition of such a silly sound being used to play such genuine beautiful jazz...OR maybe its the fucking hilarious visuals on the video that you need to be scrolling up to look at now that I've pointed it out. Spaghet. No matter what it is, it clicks - though I think that second point in particular is where the trick lies. Sort of like A Mambo Moment, a lot like My Dr. Eggman Can't Be This Evil!, the contrast in tone between the two tunes is the kind of thing that you'd only get from SiIvaGunner, or at least the only place where you'd get it done in such a genuine, high-quality way. This isn't just some midiswap, this has every bit and piece from What a Wonderful World, every part of its backing and every additional instrument playing throughout, recreated with such finesse - all to push a bit that, as the rip visuals emphasize, is mostly just meant to be funny.

There's an effort made in Super Wonderful World to make the bit not just funny, but very pleasant and listenable as well, is what I'm getting at. The SiIvaGunner ethos, distilled so perfectly in just one simple rip, distilled into a rip that for me has stayed endlessly replayable since its release, striking that perfect balance of novel and pleasant. And sure, there's a part of me that still wishes to dig further, to know lots more about Marrow than I do, to investigate and snoop about and maybe even find out what the Spaghet image is even about...but its also, in some way, just as pleasant to listen to his tunes in bliss, enjoying his work for what it is, not hung up on wishing I'd known more.

I wasn't Marrow's friend, but what he left behind still means a lot to me. And so, continue to celebrate it I shall - more than a long-gone name to be mentioned in SiIvaGunner event recaps, Marrow was downright fantastic at what he did - and I hope we'll all continue to remember and cherish that about him.

Sciccheria Rosetti, restaurantul care il are coproprietar pe Virgil Iantu, se deschide in Bucuresti

Sciccheria Ristorante Italiano anunță extinderea în București, prin deschiderea celui de-al doilea restaurant, Sciccheria Rosetti, în centrul orașului, pe strada Tudor Arghezi nr. 4. În cadrul acestui proiect, acționarilor Claudia și Luca Militello și Andrei Iosif, li se alătură și prezentatorul de televiziune Virgil Ianțu, care își îndeplinește, astfel, visul de a intra în industria de HoReCa.

“Legătura mea cu Sciccheria este una foarte simplă și concretă. După multe experiențe avute de-a lungul timpului, în calitate de client, acest restaurant mi-a oferit un loc pe gustul meu: meniu impecabil conceput, pe toate gusturile, serviciile, așa cum rar mai găsești astăzi și, cel mai important, atmosfera relaxată și veselă, muzica faină pentru toate vârstele. Toate m-au făcut să spun <<Așa ceva aș vrea să am și eu>>. Eu aveam de câțiva ani un gând pe care îl și verbalizam între prieteni de a avea un restaurant. Și, cum e vorba <<Ai grijă ce îți dorești…>>, a venit propunerea de a investi și a fi parte din acest frumos proiect, Sciccheria Rosetti. E un vis pe care ni-l dorim lung și frumos, iar, la așa parteneri, nici nu poate fi altfel. Vă așteptăm cu sufletul deschis!”, a declarat Virgil Ianțu. 

Sciccheria Rosetti își întâmpină oaspeții cu un meniu italienesc, cu influențe siciliene, bazat pe aceleași principii gastronomice cu care brandul și-a obișnuit comunitatea: ingrediente de calitate, curatoriate de la producători de top din Italia și România, toate gătite cât mai natural, la temperaturi scăzute, pentru a crea mâncăruri savuroase și sănătoase. Din meniul de zi al restaurantului vor face parte preparate precum vestitele spaghete Carbonara, gătite după rețeta originală, sau crema de cartofi, praz și crumble de guanciale și ceapă, dar și un preparat nou în meniul Sciccheria, conceput special pentru zona dinamică a orașului - “pulled pork” cu varză murată, muștar, miere și castraveți murați.

Pe lângă partea de à la carte, Sciccheria Rosetti va beneficia și de selecții de preparate potrivite pentru mic-dejun, business lunch și de opțiuni de takeaway. 

"Ne aflăm într-o zonă rezidențială vibrantă, așa că ne-am adaptat la dinamica și nevoile publicului nostru. De aceea, am creat meniuri pentru diferite perioade ale zilei, cu mâncăruri ale căror timpi de servire și caracteristici sunt în linie cu stilul de viață al consumatorilor. Astfel, fie că vorbim de un mic-dejun servit devreme, un prânz de afaceri, cu durată limitată sau de o ieșire cu colegii, seara, după birou, ce rămâne constant la Sciccheria Rosetti și în toate proprietățile grupului nostru este angajamentul către calitate în produse și servicii.”, declară Claudia Militello, coproprietar Sciccheria.

Pe lângă preparatele cu care oaspeții s-au obișnuit deja, Sciccheria Rosetti își va îmbia oaspeții cu croissante făcute în casă, cu cremă de fistic, ricotta sau bagel cu somon, cu prosciutto sau ou și guacamole. În plus, restaurantul beneficiază de un meniu generos de vinuri locale și internaționale, precum și de cocktailuri și băuturi cu și fără alcool. 

Amenajarea Sciccheria Rosetti a fost realizată alături de PickTwo Studio, studioul de design responsabil și pentru primul restaurant al grupului, din zona metropolitană a Bucureștiului. Stilul estetic este unul urban, contemporan. Restaurantul, situat la parterul clădirii de birouri Arghezi 4, beneficiază de 56 de locuri în interior și 40 de locuri pe terasa acoperită. 

Sciccheria Rosetti își propune să continue viziunea Sciccheria Pipera

Primul restaurant Sciccheria a fost deschis în iunie 2022, pe Bulevardul Pipera, în zona metropolitană a Bucureștiului. Încă din primele luni de la fondare, localul și-a construit o comunitate fidelă, receptivă, de oaspeți entuziasmați de gastronomie. 

Pentru aceștia, proprietarii au dezvoltat o serie de evenimente speciale, cum sunt degustările de vinuri In Vino Amici sau cina la patru mâini, ce l-a avut invitat pe cheful Giuseppe Raciti, cel care a adus restaurantului Zash, din Italia, o stea Michelin. 

“Sciccheria Pipera a fost primul nostru proiect de anvergură în HoReCa, un restaurant care ne-a permis să ne punem în aplicare viziunea despre gastronomie și ospitalitate. Suntem mândri de echipa și de comunitatea construite, de evenimentele publice și private pe care le-am organizat și de clipele memorabile pe care oaspeții noștri le-au trăit la noi. Prin extinderea în centrul Capitalei, ne propunem să ducem experiența Sciccheria mai aproape de bucureșteni și să folosim toata expertiza noastră.”, a declarat Claudia Militello, cofondator Sciccheria.

It is 5am. Things I could do

a) bed

b) continue to tidy up and categorize this 5 or 10 minutes of samples I took from an old skyline chili training video

It's the call of the chili for me.

Just counted and I have 23 different samples of the word "spaghetti" and I did not count how many "spaghet"s but optimistically a bakers dozen.

Uh oh gotta have bed. Just a little more spaghet.

[a-la-folie-et-plus]

Live-blogging my first time watching SAW

- oh shit, starts off full on

- my phone’s on 28%, when it dies I have to stop watching because I’m not doing this on full attention

- NO HEAD! NO HEAD! (Early 2000’s gore is surprisingly bearable)

- why is Laurence Gordon kinda…

- I’ve made it through 6 minutes!! Only 1hr37 left to go and then I can say I’ve survived watching SAW

- what if he just…didn’t play the tape lol

- Adam! (The vine reference…it’s…funny to me)

- oh Lawrence KNOWS they’re gonna kill each other

- puppy dog eyes my beloved

- bathroom’s a lot bigger than I always thought it would be, honestly shit’s SPACIOUS

- if they could just waste as much time as possible trying to get this cassette player that would be great thank you

- honestly what did Adam do

- you could just slide the tape but go off I guess

- it would suck to be Adam, like imagine not being the main character, just being brought in for some guy…objectification

- follow your heart —> kiss Adam

- aww the heart on the toilet it kind of bbg, at least he gave them deco

- Adam why would you pass him the hacksaw. He is trying to kill you.

- great job Adam, now only one of you has a weapon and it’s the one actively trying to murder you.

- workers of the world unite, the only thing you have to lose is your…feet

- I mean, I think he died because he got sawed in half, just a crazy guess

- HE TORTURED A GUY BECAUSE HE TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF??

- maybe I’m just dumb but like how does the razor wire kill him? What even is razor wire

- that is not a jigsaw piece, that is a misshapen lump. Let’s not reach at times like these

- if I were him I would just have like…not picked up that candle

- cancelling Jigsaw for not normalising mental illness, I’m getting problematic vibes from this guy

- getting homoerotic vibes from him painting a naked man’s body with flammable liquid, like…did he NEED to be naked? Or was that just a want.

- hate to say it but Gordon kinda looks better all grimed up

- oh that’s that one guy! He’s in like every crime show. This man has Stable Employment.

- short break to flex my unshackled legs, charge my charger and turn on the light

- honestly this is still fine, more interesting than horrible

- someone survived? People can do that?

- how come she got the horrifying bear trap and all they got was ankle cuffs? Kinda sexist ngl

- make your choice?? I feel like it’s a pretty easy choice

- oh shit that’s a grenade

- so wait how did she survive? Surely that’s impossible

- girl now is not the time to faff around

- OH WAIT HE’S ALIVE!!

- she could’ve just killed him, honestly that’s on her

- I’m pretty sure she’s evil but girlboss, honestly

- here comes this fucking guy, Jesus Christ

- girl he did not help you let’s be real here

- lightheaded from nerves but I’m half an hour in

- my smart little detective bb Adam

- this is the most fun I’ve had without lubricant lmaooooo Adam tell em

- if he kills the daughter I’m gonna riot. I better not see that fuckass puppet right now

- he’s kinda a good dad, like that was cute I can’t lie

- is someone gonna ask the daughter what the man said to her?? I feel like you would definitely at least ASK

- I’m a good chunk through this movie and it’s only mildly unsettling, I’m beginning to think I’m just a pussy

- sneaky, ranks are breaking in the spacious bathroom

- I am simply not afraid of a man wearing a blanket

- if he kills them I will stop being able to tolerate this “jigsaw is morally grey” narrative, they did literally nothing wrong

- actually the child’s kinda annoying, why can she only make one noise

- did he only have 3 prior victims or did they only have the budget to show flashbacks of those guys

- I’d love to be an over-dedicated detective, staying back from drinks to eat shitty Chinese takeaway at my desk and stay up all night in a rumpled shirt, running my hands through my hair over ‘evidence’

- oop he knew they were comingggggggg

- in half an hour I gotta go cook my spaghetti

- if the puppet move’s I’m freaking out

- call me crazy but just shoot jigsaw the minute you see he’s gonna screwdriver lobotomise that guy? Clearly this mans is bad

- arresting him is objectively more important

- at least pull the hood back, I swear to god

- again, I cannot be afraid of this caped crusader, Dungeons-and-Dragons-ass villain

- short break for my mental health (mommy came home) then back to it and feeling strong

- rahhhh death metal as the killer escapes, I simply have to vibe

- oh he survived, that’s rad

- it’s zander!!

- the girls are fightinggggggggggggg

- glow in the dark paint are you fucking kidding me this film is so unserious

- so do Adam and Lawrence fuck or what

- I don’t know how to explain this but Lawrence’s face is so Lana del Rey genderswapped

- ewwwwwwww he’s so ugly in a suit😖😭😖😖😭

- oh lawd he crawlin

- what in the fuck is. That

- Adam choking is genuinely the funniest thing I’ve ever seen, genuinely why does he do that

- the acting is killing me, why is this a comedy movie

- Adam’s literallt just an urban photographer

- let me guess, jigsaw’s right there and it’s gonna show him in the flash (wow, crazy)

- come out I’ll kill you! - he says, with no weapon and zero upper body strength (I love my pathetic babygirl)

- how did time go that FAST, goddamn

- oh Jesus, kidnapped child moment

- ohhhhhhhh, shit boutta go DOWN

- I really thought these SAW traps were a time-crunch, in-and-out thing, it feels like these guys have so much downtime

- vigilante Adam arc

- is the picture of Lawrence drinking a smoothie really necessary??

- Lawrence killed a hooker confirmed

- it’s giving Nicki Minaj phone call

- why does Jigsaw, a stalker, hate Adam, also a stalker

- Adam’s just a girlboss trying to survive in this modern economy

- they have made no progress out of this goddamn bathroom, these guys are utterly useless

- how come everyone else gets these crazy punishments for running out of time and theirs is like…he just fucking comes in there and shoots you

- the I Need You was unnecessary and gay

- why am I suddenly feeling the urge to also watch the sequel

- could he stop yelling

- Adam is yelling because he is an empath

- nooooooooooooooooo Adammmmmmmmmm

- bitch the time was up!! He wasn’t going to let you see your wife and kid!!

- I appreciate the bit of fabric covering up his gross leg

- see, just like I said.

- get his ass, baby

- are they about to kiss

- why does he fucking sound like that

- why do I feel like he absolutely WOULD lie to him, that sneaky bitch. Tricksy

- That’s a bigass bullet wound

- so that’s not even jigsaw

- who the fuck is that wait what who the fuck is that

- I thought that was what happened to the key!!

- no way he lay there that still the entire time that’s crazy

- game over lmao that’s so funny he can’t be serious

SAVVY | 6 | BAKUGOU x READER

SUMMARY: You’re a business course third year who’s good at being bossy, organized, and data-driven. You just want to use your business savvy to help all heroes. Well, all heroes except one.    CONTENT: high school romance, enemies to lovers, aged up characters, eventual smut, AFAB + fem reader   LENGTH:  2.4k words | 6th of 7 chapters  

The days after your rescue were unbearable.

The villain's motives, as it turned out, were to create havoc around U.A. They needn't have bothered, though, as everyone else seemed to be doing their work for them.

Getting plucked from jaws of certain death apparently gave everyone license to rinse, mince, and roast you. Had you known, then you might have just let the black hole swallow you and save yourself the trouble. You couldn’t turn a corner without a TV screen blaring that embarrassing footage of you hanging from Bakugou’s arms like an actual fucking princess, and your negotiation exercise partners routinely acted as if you would pepperspray them when you didn’t like their conditions.

Worse than that, there was twitter. You’d known there were fan accounts dedicated to heroes, and more than that you knew there were accounts singularly dedicated to hero memes. What you hadn’t accounted for was your proximity to Bakugou during the rescue leading to you featuring in those memes.

Your entire feed in the days following the incident was filled with images of you and Bakugou. There was you cradled in his arms, inscribed with actual footage of me carrying the team. There was a solo shot of you on the back of the medical van, captioned get u a man who looks at u the way this girl looks at juice. Worst of all, there was shot of Bakugou hovering over you, angrily eyeing the paramedics, retweeted with when somebody toucha my spaghet.

If you heard one more suspiciously Italian whisper in the hallways, you were going to snap.

The one thing that stopped you from ending it all was the project. Specifically, the implications that this crush of twitter activity was having on your project. Bakugou was being humanized in a way that you hadn’t foreseen, and it was boding very, very well for your marketing strategy.

The last key piece to your project, of course, was getting Bakugou to deliver on his promise to take part in that strategy.

Which would be easy, maybe, if you could just figure out what the fuck he thought he was doing.

“You look like you’re gonna pass out, nerd,” Bakugou said from beside you, shifting the arm he had behind you.

You were currently curled up in the 3-A dorms, pressed up against the arm of the couch. Which gave you no room to escape where you were also currently pressed up against the entirety of Bakugou’s left side. He’d demanded you meet him after dinner to work on your project, then sauntered into the room late, hair wet from the shower and looking soft in a tee and sweatpants. And then, he’d dropped down straight into your personal space, despite the fact that there was more than enough room on the other side of the couch.

From the other loveseat, Kirishima Eijirou and Kaminari Denki had gaped, mouths open and fingers stilling on their xbox controls.

Mina had smirked knowingly from the table in the corner.

“If I pass out it’s only because you’re suffocating me,” you complained, tips of your ears feeling hot.

A bulky arm trapped you in a headlock. “Then die.”

You got an elbow into his ribs and hooked a foot against his thigh. “What the fuck are you doing?”

“I’m trying to work on this damn project,” he grunted. His voice rumbled in your ear where it was crushed against his chest. “Relax, princess.”

You gave up struggling, resigned to death by suffocation. Sensing your defeat, Bakugou released you quickly.

As you straightened, you tried to look unaffected, but you could sense the eyes of his classmates on you. What game was he trying to play here? “We actually do need to talk about the project.”

Bakugou stretched, his lean form sprawling against you. “ ‘S why I called you here. Tell me what bullshit you’re going to torture me with.”

You cleared your throat. Keeping your eyes on your bag, you pulled out a folder and your notebook, unclipping a paperclip where it held your research together. “Okay, so there are several components to the strategy I want to go over with you, and we'll still have to talk about your goals. There are two components in particular that you would need to actually engage with to help strengthen your brand identity.”

He snorted. “You sound like a fucking suit.”

You side-eyed him. “I am a fucking suit, Bakugou.”

He shifted. You tried to ignore how warm his strong thigh was through the fabric of his dark sweatpants.

“Spit it out, then, nerd. Tell me your big plan.”

You took a deep breath. “So the first thing I think is easy enough, but I want you to make it clear that you have a message.”

He pinned you with his crimson gaze, but said nothing.

You continued, “All the top heroes have messages or ideas that they stand for. After the gym on the first day we talked, you got me thinking. Being a hero to you is the freedom to be yourself. People might not identify with your philosophy of winning, but they will identify with a message like be yourself.”

He regarded you calmly. “So what do you want me to do?”

“Not much more than you already do,” you answered. “Everyone knows that you’re already very much yourself. What you’d need to do is be more intentional with how you talk about it in the media. Instead of telling people that you want to win, say you want to stretch yourself, see what you can do.”

He picked at a stray thread on his pants. “What else?”

“Slowly, you can apply the message to others. If someone else is talking, acknowledge when they’re being straightforward. Call things out when they’re different but you like them. Eventually, everyone will catch on to the fact that you like when people are real and that you hold the same standards for everyone else that you do for yourself.”

His fingers abandoned the stray thread, barely brushing the outside of your thigh as they moved. You stilled, your breath catching a little in your lungs.

“So you want me to be me. Just...more deliberate.”

You nodded. “Yes. Marketing, when done effectively, isn’t about changing something. It’s about spinning that something -- making it more accessible and desirable.”

His fingers pressed more firmly against your thigh, and he smirked. “Desirable, huh?”

Instantly, your mouth felt like it was filled with cotton and your chest felt tight.

“Y-yeah. The goal is to make people like you.”

His hand moved to fully rest on top of your thigh. “And do you, princess?”

You faltered. “Do I what?”

He leaned closer to you, “Like me?”

You stared at him, bewildered beyond belief. Did you like him? What kind of question was that?

Honestly, you thought, anyone would be foolish not to. After all these weeks, you thought you finally understood the appeal. He was annoying as hell, sure, but he was charismatic, brave and bold. You thought of those images of him standing over you, glowering at the paramedics. Under all that aggression, there was someone watchful and attentive -- he’d saved your life, and he made you laugh.

You liked that he was so unabashedly himself, but conscientious at the same time. You thought of all the time he put into his school work and tutoring his friends, the care he put into the meals he cooked. You liked that he was so straightforward and so capable.

Besides that, he was stupid attractive. You often felt like your IQ lowered a hundred points just by looking at him.

But what did he mean by asking?

Before you had a chance to question him, the door to the dorms blew open, carrying Yamanaka Sawako inside. She’d shed her school uniform and was dressed in a light peacoat, looking pink-cheeked and adorably ruffled from the cold. Her glossy hair fell over her shoulder in a thick curtain.

“Hey Mina! Sorry I’m late,” she called, shedding her shoes in the doorway.

Bakugou’s gaze left yours and you saw an eyebrow raise as Sawako approached. His hand moved off your thigh, and all at once, you felt your animation leave you.

There it was.

Sawako was beautiful, and it was dumb of you to have forgotten. She’d been chasing Bakugou--among others--since her first day at U.A., and it was readily apparent to anyone with eyes that Sawako was an attractive option. You’d long thought the pair of them, Bakugou and Sawako, would make something like an ultimate power couple, given their good looks and off-the-charts intelligence.

Nevermind that Sawako was a little bit spoiled and manipulative -- you knew things like that didn’t bother Bakugou, who was so wholly self-possessed.

Bakugou had options like this. When he asked do you like me, he was absolutely fucking with you, like always. He’d already demonstrated that he liked playing with you, and it was so stupid of you to read anything into it.

Sawako padded lightly into the lounge, stopping in front of where you and Bakugou were splayed out on the couch. You curled self-consciously into the arm of the couch, trying to create space between the two of you, feeling your face begin to flame. To your eternal embarrassment, Bakugou kept his arm stubbornly around your shoulder, unbudging.

“Y/N,” she greeted you, eyeing you somewhat sourly, though her expression cleared when she turned to your partner. “Hi, Katsuki.”

There was a moment of silence. Then, “Mina, who the fuck is this extra?”

Your brain went offline.

What.

WHAT???

You looked up, shell-shocked, to see an equally stunned expression make its way across Sawako’s face.

Mina came dashing over, schooling her features into a placid expression. Behind her, Kirishima and Kaminari looked absolutely floored. Their game played on, lights flickering on the screen, but neither of them were paying attention.

“Blasty, this is Sawako. She’s in the business course.” Mina said cheerily, taking ahold of Sawako’s petite shoulder. She seemed to not know what to do with her face, jumping between an expression of concern and something disturbingly like thinly-disguised glee.

“Never heard of her,” Bakugou shrugged. He turned to you, “You know this extra?”

You stared at him. What the fuck did he think he was doing? Did he really not know her? If he didn’t, what game was he playing? This was the hottest girl in your year, maybe at all of U.A., come to call, and all he had to say was who is this extra??

“Uh, yeah we’re classmates together,” you offered, glancing up at Sawako. “She’s at the top of the class with me.”

Bakugou grunted. “Well we’re gonna fucking crush her with this project. Raccoon eyes, disappear. We’ve got work to do.”

Mina gave him a reproachful look but grasped Sawako gently and tugged her from the room, disappearing up the staircase to the girls’ dorms. A door shut gently from some floor above.

You stared after them a moment, before turning to Bakugou and hissing, “What the fuck was that?”

His eyes burned into yours like a brand hot from the fire. “We’re working on something.”

“That was Yamanaka fucking Sawako.”

He scoffed, his blond eyebrows furrowing. “Could be the damn prime minister, I don’t give a shit. Now put your eyes back in their sockets, nerd. You’ve got a project to finish.”

“I--okay. Uh--”

“I said now.” His hand, inexplicably, was on your thigh again. You could feel the heat from his rough palm searing through your jeans, almost like he had lit off one of his explosions against your skin.

Don’t think about it, don’t think about it, don’t think about it.

He tugged your folder from your lap, rustling through some of your printed sheets. “Now, tell me about--the fuck is the loveable grouch archetype?”

He pinned you with an accusing glare. God he looked so good in that worn tee shirt, even if he was pinning you with a glare that could make a grown man shrivel in fear.

You took a deep breath. “I-it’s something I was thinking of, when I was trying to figure out how to make people relate to you. There’s a bunch of celebrity types who fill it. Like, Gordon Ramsay is always yelling kind of like you. There’s a whole list of others in there…”

He flicked through the stack of papers. “The fuck am I supposed to do with this?”

You shook yourself out of your stupor. Right, work. Work was normal, you could talk about the project. “Um, well, that was the second component of my strategy that I wanted to talk to you about. Twitter lately has been giving me ideas.”

He gave you a blank look.

“You’re um...you’re not going to like it.”

He rolled his shoulders like he was gearing up for a fight. Then he turned to you.

“Well, princess. What did you have in mind?”

Any headcanons about The Smithy Gang and its members?

not as many as i'd like! the unfortunate thing about the smithy gang is, given their state of manufacturing and the fact that they can be infinitely replicated, they... are pretty soulless beings 'portraying' soulful 'people'. at least, it's heavily implied to be something like that. after all, how would they have souls that live on if they can just be remade over and over? actual 'lives' don't do that. it could be magic, of course, given this is super duper mario spaghets himself to death: the movie, but... i think with the way the smithy gang works, there's unfortunately not much to each one. living beings have complexities, desires, interests, hobbies, and autonomy all their own, not programmed into them like a machine. the smithy gang does not have that.

so, uh, yeah. because of that, there's... i guess not a lot of room for me to headcanon specific stuff about them, but needless to say, their lack of autonomy and use solely as weapons are meant as juxtaposition to geno's character, a star spirit who is and wants to be the stark opposite of that. they are weapons without a will of their own. geno is a person with the freedom to be who and what he wants to be.

that is... except for one instance. that would be smithy himself.

smithy is an odd case. while i see the manufactured gang as being easily repeatable builds, smithy is a different story. smithy is the embodiment of metallurgist magic, literally the act of creating machinery given form. smithy is more of an entity of dubious form rather than just the husk we see at the end of super mario rpg.

so... remember the many smithy heads and body parts at the end of the game, all buried deep in smithy's dimension? they are replicant bodies, but they are not replicated 'smithy's, so to speak. they are but his vessels, much like how the geno doll is this star spirit's. at the end of smrpg, smithy is 'destroyed', but only one of his many bodies are. should his spirit remain dormant and regain enough power, he can always inhabit another one... but the threat is minimized with the disintegration of exor — for now.

tl;dr: smithy is still very, very alive, and could potentially be a massive threat again in the future. he'd just need another way to enter mario's dimension again, whether it be through a replica of exor or... something else.

I Tried (And Maybe Perfected?) Food52's Roasted Spaghetti

Someone in a Discord server I’m in (not even a foodie one, just a “hey look at this cursed bullshit” one) recently posted a link to a recipe on Food52 claiming that the best way to make spaghetti is to roast it first.  At first, I thought, “Beautiful, just my brand of terrible food crimes, I could kiss you on the mouth.”

But we here at Food Bytes Back are dedicated to saying, “hey, but what if it was more fucked up, but in the most logical way possible?”  (Mostly because I can’t just point at a 4-year-old recipe and say “lol.”)

You see, Food52 says that this is the logical next step for those who like the roasty-toasty flavors of roasted vegetables, but to me there’s one thing missing.  Roasted vegetables aren’t just thrown in the oven dry, you gotta put some olive oil, salt, and pepper on those bad boys!  So I’ve decided to do a little experiment: I’ll do a pan of dry-roasted spaghetti as a control, and a pan of oiled and seasoned spaghetti just to see what happens.  

It may also be worth pointing out that I’m using “Thin Spaghetti” here, because that’s what I had.  As such, I will still be roasting at Food52’s suggested 350F, but for much less than their suggested 10-15 minutes.

Attempt #1

Ah, shit. I was playing with the cat and got distracted. 

Attempt #2

Wow, this stuff really does turn fast, huh.  This time around, I did it for 5 minutes, then checked  every minute for what would end up being 2 more minutes, and it still went a little darker than I would have liked.  But because my impatience (and/or hesitance to just bake off all of my mom’s spaghetti) was getting the better of me, I decided that this would have to be good enough.  

If you can’t tell from the picture, the oiled pasta definitely took on more of a fried-looking texture, which is more-or-less what I was looking for.

Alright, now it’s time for a step that Food52 says is optional: Rehydrating the freshly baked pasta.  They say you can actually boil it as is, but that it will take longer to cook and just won’t get more cooked than al dente (which sounds like a good thing tbh).  But if I’m going full gremlin with this, then I wanna put the spaghets in plastic bags and fill them with water, and let them hang out for a bit (The original recipe says 2 ½ hours, but again, this is thin spaghetti, so I did like 2).

“Gee, Riley,” you say. “The counter’s looking a little wet there, did you not seal the bag all the way?” Listen here, jackass.  Don’t fuck with me.  I will cry.

Ok, so post-soak there’s still a noticeable difference.  The most-roasted of the oiled ones didn’t seem to rehydrate as much as the most-roasted of the plain ones, and the oiled ones in general seem much less flexible than the plain ones. It's almost as if oil and water don't mix or something.  Also, the bag water on both is noticeably brown, which makes me think that some of my roasty goodness may have seeped out of the pasta.

The original recipe said that this would cook about the same as “regular pasta,” which I assumed meant dry pasta, but, as it turns out, they meant fresh.  Who would have guessed that rehydrated pasta would cook so quickly.

I gotta say, eaten plain, it’s a little disappointing.  Only my most burnt noods have any toasty flavor on them at all.  Was I supposed to boil it in that bag water? That would have probably helped keep some of that toastiness intact.  That being said, even plain, it is a step up from eating regular plain pasta; I wouldn’t call it “toasty” but the flavor is… more concentrated?  When paired with one of their serving suggestions, a “no-cook ricotta, parsley and olive oil sauce”  (read: ricotta, parsley and olive oil mixed together) it works a little better.  The herabciousness of the parsley actually helped bring out some of the nuttiness.  (Holy shit… I never thought I would say that parsley actually added something to a dish…)

I don’t know if it’s placebo effect or maybe it’s just because this tray got a little more burnt, but I feel like the toastiness is more present here.  And, when eaten plain, there’s a little bit of fruitiness from the olive oil, too.  The salt and pepper seem to more or less wash off in the bag water, however.  It may also be worth noting that that fried-looking texture I mentioned earlier has translated into a very strange, irregular texture post-boil.  It’s possible that the main reason why the original didn’t say to use oil was for the sake of having a more Instagram-able final dish.  Said textural deformities are essentially completely covered up by the sauce, however, so it’s basically like they were never really there.

Attempt #3

More than anything else, I was curious how well this would keep in dry storage if roasted ahead of time.  After all, I’m not going to be reaching for the sheet trays every time I want to make spaghetti, I’d much rather be able to roast off a whole box, then put it back in the box and have it ready to go whenever I want.  And the original recipe suspiciously doesn’t say anything about being able to do so. So I set aside some from my initial experiment (Friday) to cook off today (Monday).  

Surprise surprise, nothing happened to the pasta over the course of 3 days.  It was so underwhelming I forgot to take a picture of it before putting water in the bag.  Speaking of which, I think I’m gonna adjust the soak time to about 45 minutes to account for the thin spaghets.

Hmm… even at 45 minutes there still seems to be a noticeable amount of brownness leaching out into the water (in hindsight you can’t really tell up against a wood counter, but take my word for it). It's also not nearly as flexible, not that that really matters since we're just gonna boil it anyways.

Ok, bringing the soak time down to 45 minutes didn’t really help protect the roasted flavor, it pretty much tastes just like that first batch.  If anything, the reduced soak time may have hindered them, because some of the noodles seemed to be only partly rehydrated, resulting in a mushy outer layer with an extremely al dente core, which was an interesting mouthfeel to experience.  However, I feel like I can officially call this part of the experiment a success, since none of these oddities have anything to do with my main goal here: Can the pasta be roasted ahead of time? Yes. 

Final Verdict

If you don’t care about the strange appearance, a healthy dose of olive oil on your spaghetti pre-roasting is the way to go.  But is the roasting worth it in the first place?  Overall, I think it’s a fun party trick, but I don’t think it’s something I can say makes a ton of difference if you’re just cooking for yourself.  Unless you, you know, actually follow their recipe and use a spaghetti of regular thickness.  Maybe that was the secret to unlocking its full potential all along.

🎫 Here's a gush pass ^^ feel free to gush about whichever f/o you want, however much you want, then send this ask to 3 other selfshippers !! Also, I never saw yout theme for desktop and it's so pretty!! :D (Lovesick-Crypt)

x OMFG I can finally use this!!!!

x Bruno Bucciarati!!

x Men who care! Men who are the mom friend! Men who have a passion for good even when they are doing something bad?!?! Mafia man with heart of gold!?! PLEASE!

x He smart 👉👈

x he badass and classy  👉👈

x He holds his crew hands but he also knows when to let them go for them to grow and mature  👉👈

x He lemme toucha his spaghet  👉👈

x but in all honestly I just love the fact he is in my age range and has his life put together in a way that works and is functional despite being terrible. He has a hand-picked family that loves each other and expresses themselves openly. I want that. I want that support of trying to be myself physically without being intimidated or judged or worse made fun of.

x I don’t want Bruno to adopt me pffff I wish to marry this man to know what it’s like to have that always supporting s/o who takes pride in what you do like you do with them. 

x Bruno is complex and has his own faults but he works through them which is something a lot of characters can’t do without pushing, you always have to have someone pushing them to due better whereas Bruno can easily pick out the problem and fight to fix it and make it better. He knows whats bad and he has a limit of how much he is willing to take before shit hits the fan. I love that.

x Bruno makes me feel like I can be brave. I’m baby.
