my least favorite thing about food is how you take one bite and go "wow, this tastes so good!" but then after that first bite it just tastes the same. like am I the only one where the novelty is lost so quickly

“You know I really enjoyed Once Upon a Time.”

Me, internally, “Ah, a lesbian out in the wild.”

Me, externally, “Oh who is your favorite character for it?”

“Regina.”

“Ah, a subtastic lesbian.”

“What? I mean you’re right, but how did you know?”

Me, -_-, “Really?”

Ok.. the method I’m gonna use is going to leave it with a slight flowery subtaste, but it’ll warm it up quickly.

"Hell yeah! Let's get you a little vodka cranberry." Noel moved confidently to the kitchen where all the liquor was. "Okay, question. Do you want your drink strong? More juice than alcohol? Fifty-fifty? I can make it for you." They flashed Cece a bright smile. "Ay, I appreciate you. I won't let you down, truly. And oh? That's super valid. I truly think vodka is like way better than beer, so you're not missing out much on that regard. Most kegs also have very cheap, bad beer." It was nice that she had been having fun. Noel thought the last few days had been so fun. "Same here, honestly! Dodgeball left an impact on me. I have to practice more. But it's been a good time. I have, however, used up sooo much sunscreen though. The bad things about all these tattoos is all the sunscreen I run through during summer. Still, I guess it's a small price to win for looking sick as hell." The mention of wine made Noel frown. "What's up with wine? I never got the whole fancy like subtastes or whatever. Do you know about it?"

"Maybe I'll just have what you're having." Cece suggested. She had gone out only a few times when she was in college, and it seemed vodka cranberries were often something a lot of people drank when they went out. Why not try one? "I will cheer you on during the entire keg stand if you decide to do it." When Noel asked why she didn't drink, the blonde started to anxiously play with her fingers. She didn't talk about her condition often, so she was certain people didn't know, but she liked it that way. When she was little she was always the sick kid, she was happy when people didn't look at her that way. "Oh, I have Celiacs so, no gluten for me. Which means beer is off limits. It's okay, I'll stick with one of those vodka cranberries. I'm not really sure what my drink of choice is, I don't really drink outside of family parties and that is usually flutes of champagne or wine. But I have been having fun! It's been nice to spend time with everyone. You?"

sam, you talk a lot about being a supertaster, which has gotten me thinking: I wonder if it's possible to be the opposite? because I've been noticing that, if I eat a food completely by itself, I can identify the taste (ie: chicken tastes like chicken, etc), but when I get a meal with ingredients all mixed together it just has Taste. I watch all these cooking shows where the judges talk about tasting "notes of spice" or "hints of [something]" and all I can think every time I eat something is "tastes like food".

Yes! If you google "nontaster" (some less salubrious sites say "subtaster" but that's kind of a sign of somewhere you shouldn't trust) you'll get some information on it.

I should say though, as a supertaster, it's not necessarily that I get more complexity out of food. You can be sensitive to very specific flavors which are then all you taste. Like, I thought the whole idea of tasting notes in beer or wine was just a marketing ploy. Beer tastes like beer tastes like beer, right? Turns out I'm sensitive to the hops, so all I get is the dumb bitter shit. Likewise, I didn't realize people actually taste different flavors in apples. There are some apples on the far-tart end of the spectrum where I can taste a difference, but I thought apples were basically marketed on texture. There's some enzyme, I think, in the apple that is just all I taste.

So it's entirely possible you are a nontaster, in fact that's very much what it sounds like, but there is an off-chance you're just super sensitive to one very common flavor in foods (salt, sugar, grains, etc) and that's all you taste. I'm not well-educated on nontasters so I can't give you a ton of advice, but there are tests you can do/buy to figure it out, so good luck and happy googling!

Zorro (Dean x Reader)

Sub!Dean for @wingedcatninja, who requested something inspired by the actual fucking canon quote, “sometimes you just wanna get slapped during sex by a girl wearing a Zorro mask.” 

In related news, you will never convince me that Dean is not a subby subtastic sub. 

329 words, explicit. 

Dean grits his teeth, tendons cording under the skin of his neck as he tilts his head back, straining, gasping out your name. He’s got a mark on one cheek where you slapped him earlier, a bright shade of red that matches the set of scratches that your nails made down his chest, and he’s pretty as a goddamn picture. 

You twist your hips, riding him harder, feeling the heat in your belly flare brighter with every deep, clenching drag of friction. 

“Such a nice thick cock,” you tell him hoarsely. “Gonna fuck myself on it until I come, sweetheart. Gonna use you like my own personal toy, and you’re gonna shut up and take it, aren’t you?” 

Dean draws a breath like he’s going to say something, but then he opens his eyes and looks up at you, and he just stares helplessly, whimpering, before letting his eyes flutter closed again. He’s been like this ever since he saw you in your costume, with the sword and the hat and the sleek black knee-high boots… and the mask, of course. Especially the mask. 

He sounded so hopeful, when he asked you to leave the mask on; it’s not like you could say no. 

“Can’t hold on much longer,” Dean groans. “Feels so fuckin’ good.” 

“Look at me,” you order, and when he does, you slow down, rolling your hips in steady figure eights that feel like sin for you and torture for him. You arch your back, pinching your own nipples and palming your tits, putting on a show for him and enjoying the way his mouth goes slack and his eyes lose their focus. 

“Please,” he chokes out. 

You slap him again, this time across the other cheek, and his head snaps to the side at the sharp impact. 

You meant it as a warning, but that backfires. He lets out a deep, shocked grunt, his entire body tensing up as he bucks his hips and comes.

Someone: Have a subtastic weekend!

Me: Why would I want to have a subtastic weekend, what if I want to have a domtastic weekend. You don't know my life!

[abbacchiosbelt]

Sorry to commit horny crimes but... Im so terribly subtastic that thinking about polnareff soft domming me and calling me dirty names but also giving me praise as he calls me a good girl and fucks my pussy with his wonderfully thick cock just makes me swoon... something about being called a dirty slut and then getting something like a "you're taking it so well. You're perfect for me... look how well it fits inside you chaton." Is just... mmph... 😍😍😍❤❤❤

oooh, spicy, anon! i bet polnareff is pretty good and dirty talk, though he probably gets a bit flustered! seeing how you react will always bring him back to the present though so he can make sure his chaton is having a great time

SUPERTASTER

#Fictober19 @fictober-event

————————————————————————

for fanfiction:

Prompt number: 9  “There is a certain taste to it.”

Fandom (AU if applicable): #arrow fanfiction #olicity

Rating:G

Warnings/Tags: None… I like sugar hence the Jelly Beans!

Summary: Oliver is hosting a food tasting event at his home. People from the local community center where he’s a member of a current food gathering are about to talk about taste buds.

  ~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~sp@ce~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~

This came about because of purchasing Jelly Belly -Jelly Beans, the original pack has 40 different flavors and I’m telling you a lot of them just doesn’t make my taste buds happy. I prefer the kids pack… they may be sweeter but at least I like the majority of them. The Harry Potter addition is a solid no from me. I mean look at the flavors. How could anyone subject their taste buds to earwax? Rotten Egg? Vomit? Just No!

 ~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~sp@ce~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~

SUPERTASTER on A03

People who have a lot of papillae—the bumps on our tongue, most of which house our taste buds—often find flavors overwhelming. They're "supertasters," and as such they add cream to their coffee and order food mild instead of spicy. Subtasters, on the other hand, have low papillae density and prefer their chicken wings "atomic."

Individual taste, however, isn't simply about papillae; it also has to do with our buds' ability to detect different molecules. Although our brains can recognize the same five tastes—bitter, sweet, salty, sour and umami (savory)—the suite of chemicals that can trigger those signals varies from one person to the next. Alexander Bachmanov, a geneticist at Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, says that humans carry a range of 20 to 40 genes dedicated to bitter taste receptors.

Different sensitivities to bitter tastes probably arose from evolutionary pressures in different parts of the world. Most toxic plants taste bitter, and nomadic groups that came into contact with a variety of plants would have, over time, developed a variety of receptors. People from malaria-infested parts of the world tend to carry a gene that makes them less sensitive to some bitter compounds, specifically those that contain cyanide. Researchers speculate that cyanide, ingested at low levels, fights malarial parasites while leaving the host unscathed. Juyun Lim, a sensory scientist in Oregon State University's Department of Food Science, says that we have a natural aversion to bitterness and certain odors: "Most people don't like beer the first time they try it."

ARE YOU A SUPERTASTER?

To find out, put blue food coloring on your tongue. Blue dye doesn't stick to taste papillae, so if your tongue doesn't get very blue, you're probably a supertaster. The bluer it gets, the greater the chance you are a subtaster. More hot sauce!

 ~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~sp@ce~~~~~~****~~~~~~~~

Now onto the story...

“Felicity, come try this?” He has a fork out holding a sample of whatever is in the pot.

“There is a certain taste to it.”

“What’s your taste buds first reaction?”

“It’s pungent like your chilly but also savory that it doesn’t burn and wow I may want more of this later.” Oliver nods as he places the spoon down and fills a bowl with it before he heads to the dining room.

Felicity just follows him. She’s heading out to spend some quality time with her sister-in-law. She has no real concept of what Oliver is doing in the meantime. She thought he’d train like he usually does when not at work. Being she’s been occupied getting ready to go out she didn’t notice what her husband was doing.

“Oliver? What’s up with the spread of food on the table?”

“Just an experiment.”

She grabs what seems like a blue bottle of dye. “Is this food dye?”

“It’s part of the experiment.”

Felicity looks around the dining room and back at Oliver who is still placing plates of sliced food on the table.

“Am I missing something?”

“Honey, do you remember anything I said last night?”

Felicity takes a moment to ponder. Last night she came home from work and well she remembers there were plenty of words but mostly words she wouldn’t say in front of children. She sways her head no. She thinks he might have mentioned something about the community class he’s partaken in but once she was nibbling on his neck his words weren’t as coherent.

“I volunteered to host the tasting test here in our home.”

“Oh, okay.” She looks at the red dish ad makes a funny face, “Are those the pickled beets I so abhor.”

“Yes, there is a large spread of different foods. Those come from Marie who raided her pantry to offer the group.”

“Yea! Aren’t you all so lucky?”

“Does that mean you won’t join us in this test?”

“Nope, I’m actually supposed to go shopping with Thea.”

“Say hi to my sister for me.”

“I will. Should I pick William up later just in case?”

Oliver takes a moment to consider the question. The group would most likely disperse by then but he also doesn’t want to be a bad host and kick people out when they’re all having a good time. “Sure, that would be great.”

“Okay than, you have fun tasting all these foods but what is the dye for?”

“To see who is a supertaster. To find out, we are going to place blue food coloring on our tongues. Blue dye doesn't stick to taste buds. So, if any of our tongues don’t get as blue, some of us are probably supertasters. The bluer it gets, the greater the chance the person is a subtaster.”

“Fascinating.”

“You say that with such an ecstatic tone.”

She shrugs, “That’s because it is really super boring.”

Oliver rolls his eyes. He knows she is not into the whole discovery of all different cuisines like he is. He is trying to open his horizons to the different available culinary arts. For so long he’s been surviving and somehow opening up to living by experiencing flavor has made a difference in how he copes. He knows his wife understands and she has shared in his experience into the food mastery he’s taken up but she also allows him to do his own thing. Facing things with others outside his safety net.

“Oliver, if your need me, I’m a phone call away.”

“Thank you. I should be able to handle a few kitchen zealots.”

“Okay than. Have fun. Love you.”

“Love you too.” He brings her closer for a kiss but he sniffs something different. “Hmm. Is that honey with a hint of nutmeg?” Her nod confirms his analysis. When the doorbell rings they pull apart. “I guess the party is about to begin.

“It’s a good thing I know Oliver Queen tastes buds are a lot tamer.”

“That’s probably because I’m a subtaster, never enough is enough hot sauce.”

“Ah, that wasn’t what I was referring…”

“Huh hm.” He’s walking Felicity to the door. Opening it up to his first guest, the woman seems to be in her late eighties.

Felicity smiles and welcomes the woman into her home winking to Oliver in the processes. “Have fun.”

Oliver knowing very well what Felicity meant. He isn’t the party boy of his youth and he doesn’t care. These moments he is going to share with his guests knowing he’ll remember them and it will truly be a more enjoyable experience. He hopes to even learn a new dish or tricks to kicking up the heat for a dish his served many times over. This is his life, the life he is choosing and for once he can think the only thing on his mind is the words. “bon appetit.”

[roxannepolice]

Long asks anon again, here to offer my opinion on the current wank. Rey as a character is rather blatantly breaking sw story rules and nothing is going to get SFF fans hackles up like rule breakage. This is root of both the MarySue accusations and current wank. Rey has a tragic backstory thats doubling as the only failure she can call her own. But its a) damn near entirely offscreen and b) serves as convenient justification for why shes competent at near everything that comes up.

Reys instantly good at the force because of a convenient force download that to the best of my knowledge only occured in the noncanon KOTOR II and quite frankly cant blame most of the general audience for not getting because without prior knowledge or the novelizations why would they? She has darkness in her but as so far used and touched it consequence free and its almost entirely symbolically externalized on the Kylo (and in SW symbolism is Real in a way it isnt in other narratives) Shes strong in the force because Light rises to meet Dark but to quote the current crop of movies ‘thats not how the force works) or at least thats never how it worked before. Shes the first SW protagonist to go behind enemy lines and come out with both hands in the second movie. For ppl wondering how come Luke and Ani never get labeled MarySues, this is why, they got thier asses handed to them, Rey hasnt. There /is/ something /off/ in Reys story, and ppl pick up on it. if you can make a post (w/ over 1k notes!) about how great it is that a character meant to prop up 7hrs worth of movies has little to no character development to go through, somethings off. If multiple ppl can make posts about how its neat Rey can tap into the darkside (still characterized as evil in ST) consequence free (with some quite frankly stupid justifications, 'shes disciplined’ really? jedi lacked a lot of things thats not one of them) somethings off and again, if the only failure your main heroine has is /entirely retroactive something’s off/. If the story were getting with the is the story most ppl think we are, a 'female empowerment’ (i dont feel particularly empowered by being told I have an equal chance at being a deus ex machina but ok) than well, her story is over and theres no need for IX (hell it could have been over in TFA, most ppl assumed she had accepted her place as the future jedi in that one) and no need for reylo The ST was always gonna deconstruct all that came before it purely by virtue of being a sequel. The tragedy of anakin skywalker is now a farce, the happy ot ending now a tragedy, and the mythopoetic structure shot to shit in the name of serialization and perpetual warfare. this stand true for all the sequel characters including rey and ben. the only question is are we going to get anything out of it? I compare it to home renovation. You can knock out a wall and the walls gone, but new opportunities arise. With Benlo, I’m reasonably confident that there will be at least some attempt to take advantage of the new space. With rey and the resistance kids? not so much. it just feels like they knocked down a blue wall to rebuild it as pink one and at the point it just feels like a waste of time because ive seen this before. Ive seen pure cinnamon roll desert orphan reform jedi order If this was all youre going to do that the fuck was the point? which circles around to my problem with team good guy this go around and That Scene. JJ twisted the story into a pretzel to justify the winners of the last round being the underdogs again and then rian twisted so much further the storys head may as well be up its own ass. And then at the very end he shoots it all to shit and rushes to reassure us its all gonna be okay. He removes the entire point of the underdog trope /the tension that comes from the fact that they might lose/. I mean there wasnt a whole lot of that to begin with already but really? So theres no tension that Reys gonna win so her journey feels frictionless, and theres no question where shes gonna end up so full offense why give a shit? Thats where the whole 'can rey lose a fight?’ thing comes from. Ppl want conflict in her arc to justify its existence and give us a reason why this her story to begin with. if the only character going through growth for all three movies is ben, if the only characters whos fate is up in the air is ben, and if all the tension in the reylo relationship comes from ben, then why is this /reys story/? why not just make it about the character actually driving all the drama and thus, the story?   As a final thought, im going to add that having Kylo be aware and insecure that hes never gonna be as Iconic as Vader was a great story choice, regardless of where ends up. Current Rebels, on the other hand, seems to have not gotten the memo that they are never gonna be as iconic as Original Rebels, and the story itself seems to being trying to sell them to me as being better. Rey is Luke but better, Poe/Finn are Han wo the smuggler grit, and id be lying if i said it didnt piss me off.

Long asks anon to kick down ur door again, AND ANOTHER THING. SW is a lotta things. Subtle aint one of them, and St hasnt changed in that regard. If you have to debate it chances are either a) ur arguing counter to the text in which case mor power to you but not really helpful for predictions or intended meaning or b) /it aint there. A bunch of ppl didnt like anidala, but nobody doubted we were supposed to think they were in love by the end of AOTC, bunch of ppl didnt like poes arc, but no one doubts he fucked up by not listening to holdo was the intended take away. Which brings to rey and flaws or lack there of. Were told rey has flaws but she has yet to suffer any real consequences from them with the exception of The Damn Parentage Wank, which again, pulls the double duty of making her hyper competent at everything. Because rey has no consequences for her flaws, from a story function pov there aren’t any. If rey did have a flaw to overcome, we would all agree what it was

Now won’t you all just look at this beautiful, spot on rant which has been lagging in my askbox since the last time Rey’s flaws or lack thereof were the discourse’s focus (November, I believe?) and suddenly became a thing again, courtesy of Tweetgate. I think you really summed up the crux of this debate wonderfully, anon.

I particularly agree with the part about Rey not getting narratively punished for whatever flaws we’d like her to have (great point about returning from behind the enemy lines with both arms still in place), when SW don’t stay away from allowing characters to get “punished” even for otherwise applaudable features - vide Padmé, whose idealism is what Palps manipulates into gaining more power (this is why Padmé will never come off as a Mary Sue or too perfect, btw). But I’ll say even more - Rey doesn’t even get called out on her flaws, except for by Ben, who’s mostly dismissed as a baddie like Palpatine saying Luke was foolish to rely on his friends. Let’s just consider one thing - both Anakin and Luke get called out on their flaws by Yoda (Anakin repeatedly and by lots of other people for that matter) whereas with Rey, the same grumpy-yet-jolly senex pops up from the afterlife to further inform us what a great jedi material she is.

TBH, I have a very cynical theory as to why Rey is being pushed as the main character while it’s difficult to deny that it’s Kylo Ben who does all the plot heavy lifting. I’m pretty sure Ben’s arc was the first one DLF thought out (and the big question is, was it the only one they thought out) and only later on decided to make Rey the main character, which also involved much less spontaneous writing. Mind you, it’s not as if benepemption didn’t have a manufactured subtaste to it, but with Rey’s heroine’s journey stiff structure occasionally substitutes any in-world explanations of her actions (this is why I have to hope renperor has some narrative purpose rather than happening because lovers need to be separated and anti-hero needs to achieve what he wanted in 2nd act). I feel as if whatever potential her character had (and hopefully still has, pending IX) got smothered by layer upon layer of making her likable by everyone, which largely relied on negative characterization: she’s not helpless, she’s not too naive, not cynical, not too emotional, not too emotionless, not morally corruptible, not anything you’ve ever complained about regarding any SW character, not falling for the bad boy, not not not - and in the end it’s kinda difficult to say what Rey is like and while the goal of making her widely likable was achieved, it also made it almost impossible to view her as loveably flawed/annoying like the classic characters. And on top of all this is the matter of making her a nobody just like you!, as DLF appears to say with uncle Sam’s gesture (which also kinda assumes the existence of a Star Wars fan as some uniform entity? because if you identify with her, good for you, I just don’t understand why the franchise assumes I’ll identify with her by the grace of being a SW fan alone), because, as you excellently put it, the message here is that everyone can be chosen by God - which again, it’s not as if the saga ever contradicted this, so why the hell make a case of it? I can’t agree that it’s made into Rey’s flaw, though, imo her low birth only serves to further frame her as an oppressed virtue. And I definitely agree regarding too much of her growth being left off-screen, or before the story ever begins. The problem here isn’t even that it is left off-screen (it’s not as if we had huge insight into any of the pt or ot characters) but rather that her characterizations is left off-screen while being depicted as at least untypical (unique to put it bluntly) for her situation (same goes for Finn). A hopeful, kind person growing up on her on her own in slavery under a nicer name is a rarity and DLF makes a case for it being a rarity - and this sparks up curiosity in her past, as if market pandering to Re/sky wasn’t enough. So from this pov her un-reveal being frustrating isn’t just a case of not wanting to love her or her self only a potentially deeper psychological question getting answered with well, light.

I should add, Ben’s arc feels like the most spontaneous one (though Finn’s may yet be a masterpiece) and he’s the one to admit his fear of not living up to Vader’s legacy, because I think he’s the character serving as the creators’ vessel, more or less like Luke was Lucas’ avatar in ot. In his fear regarding Vader’s legacy one can feel Disney’s fear due to having bought popculture’s holy grail and not being entirely sure what to do with it. On this background, Rey (a literal scavenger of OT’s pieces) and rebels 2.0 repeatedly blessed by Leia come off as what DLF would want to be. And the result is that the character which was supposed to be Vader 2.0 proves the most original and surprising one, whereas “breaths of fresh air” come off as room aromatizers with “fresh” written on them.

And as far as the plot being bended into a pretzel and then disappearing up it’s own ass, well, a part of me is still hoping that taking virtually the same villains as before is a mythological-psychoanalitical metaphor of a nigredo repeating itself until the unconscious gets accepted by the conscious…. but, tbh, as the leaks flow this hope is withering.

organisation for uni exams

using wunderlist.

I’m just gonna do a quick run through of the way I organised myself for my chemistry exam this year (works with p. much any science/maths based course):

when I log into my uni’s online portal and select my chem module, these are the header tabs that greet me, neatly split up into our learning sections (A to H.) If your module doesn’t work like this, I highly recommend breaking it down into smaller, manageable chunks. Start by separating physical and organic, then break them down to topics, e.g. thermo, kinetics, etc.) 

now you want to open your list app and make a “folder” for each section; Wunderlist lets you create an overall folder (where you put the module code) and then make subsections in each. 

alright! now you have a template to add your to do lists to. 

in the subtasts section you can add in everyone you want to get done for the topic. As a basic requirement, I would put down rereading the textbook chapters and finalising & adding to your notes. For maths/science subjects I’d also highly recommend making a quizlet or flashcards. Obviously these tasks will be tailored to your subject and also the level of work you’ve already put in. 

the great thing here is that breaking down topics into lots of mini sections helps you keep a clear idea of what needs to be done. You could even add rough estimates of how long each task will take. Wunderlist also lets you set due dates and make reminders. I often used the notes section to add in advice our lecturers had given about the exams. 

also, it’s super nice to be able to strikethrough everything under a topic and look back in satisfaction. 

(also btw wunderlist is free & i use it for everything.)
