Maybe the real treasure was the boops we made along the way

So, if you’re ever cooking something and it’s taking a lot longer to cook than it usually does and is staying liquid and not firming up, don’t just keep cooking it.

You’ve probably forgotten an ingredient.

If you keep cooking it your apartment will be filled with smoke again and you’ll have to open both doors and the cold will get in and you’ll have to turn on the box fan to chase the smoke out and it’ll give you a headache because of the noise and the small and the cold.

I hear a knock on my door. I look out, there’s McDonald’s. DoorDash delivered.

I didn’t order McDonalds.

Maybe it’s my neighbors’? But my door number is pretty clear.

Wait, this happened before, with a package. It went to the right door number in the wrong building.

So I put on my coat and shoes, and walk over to the next building. There’s a guy pacing in front of the correct door, looking at his phone like “it says my McD’s arrived, where the hell is it?”

I ask him if he’s the one who ordered. He says yes. He thanks me.

Mission accomplished.

Peppermint Extract: Smells good

Me: So you’ll smell good in a candle as well, right?

The Entire Candle: Bursts into flame

Me: I see that peppermint extract is alcohol based

Me, standing around with a hand-held mixer for over 15 minutes: Will you just WHIP ALREADY?!?

My egg whites, with a 1/8 tsp of yolk in them: No, absolutely not.

Yippee!!!

(BELATED) THANKS FOR 2K!!!

Because I’ve hit 5k on my insta as well, I’ve decided to do a dtiys! (Full Image and info under cut)

There’s really no detailed explanation for why I drew this, it’s just kinda a redraw of this piece from January. I also wanted another excuse to draw a tiger (I love drawing tigers). You do not have to draw a tiger If you would not like to!! I just ask that you keep the color scheme similar (and that you draw Kai lol). PLEASE TAG ME IF YOU DO THIS DTIYS I WANNA SEE!! And use the tag #Nutellabit5k !!

that’s it have fun and thanks again for 2k 😖

Can we have, like, and AU where Superman can’t see shit without his glasses?

So, Clark still has his x-ray vision* so he can tell where things are around him… generally. With x-ray vision he can see the shape of everything just fine, even at great distance. But he can’t distinguish color, since x-ray vision has nothing to do with the visible spectrum of light.

Basically, his ass can’t read without his glasses. Pieces of paper? May as well be blank. Phone screen? Glowing blur.

He can read and write just fine as Clark Kent since he can wear his glasses, but Superman has to be super-human, and that means no glasses.

Someone could show Superman explicit fanart and he’d just smile and nod ‘cause HE CANT SEE IT.

Or someone would give him some documents and he’d just have to find a way to go and read them at home without looking too suspicious, or pretend to read them and hope he’s holding the pages right-side up.

Maybe he could over do the “not raised on Earth” lie and pretend to either not speak English or have trouble reading it, but that would only last so long. Just until he’d be expected to have learned the language.

Why not contact lenses? Heat vision would melt them and having partially burnt out lenses in your eyes sounds mighty uncomfortable.

Also this would be a Clark Kent thing, not a Kryptonian thing. Jon would have perfectly normal vision (to human standards) and Kara would have cannon super vision. No, Kryptoninas didn’t de-evolve photo-sensitive sight in exchange for x-ray vision. Clark’s just randomly blind.

*x-ray vision: I hate that it’s called this, and would like remade to be more like sonar or radar.

Hey! Are there blacksmiths in your story? I'm a hobbyist blacksmith and I'm here to help!

Blacksmithing is one of those things that a lot of people get wrong because they don't realize it stuck around past the advent of the assembly line. Here's a list of some common misconceptions I see and what to do instead!

Not all blacksmiths are gigantic terrifying muscly guys with beards and deep voices. I am 5'8, skinny as a twig, have the muscle mass of wet bread, and exist on Tumblr. Anybody who is strong enough to pick up a hammer and understands fire safety can be a blacksmith.

You can make more than just swords with blacksmithing. Though swords are undeniably practical, they're not the only things that can be made. I've made candle holders, wall hooks, kebab skewers, fire pokers, and more. Look up things other people have made, it's really amazing what can be done.

"Red-hot" is actually not that hot by blacksmith terms. when heated up, the metal goes from black, to red, to orange, to yellow, to white. (for temperature reference, I got a second degree burn from picking up a piece of metal on black heat) The ideal color to work with the metal is yellow. White is not ideal at all, because the metal starts sparking and gets all weird and lumpy when it cools. (At no point in this process does the metal get even close to melting. It gets soft enough to work with, but I have never once seen metal become a liquid.)

Blacksmithing takes fucking forever. Not even taking into account starting the forge, selecting and preparing metal, etc. etc. it takes me around an hour to make one (1) fancy skewer. The metals blacksmiths work with heat up and cool down incredibly fast. When the forge is going good, it only takes like 20 seconds to get your metal hot enough to work with, but it takes about the same time for it to cool down, sometimes even less.

As long as you are careful, it is actually stupidly easy to not get hurt while blacksmithing. When I picked up this hobby I was like "okay, cool! I'm gonna make stuff, and I'm gonna end up in the hospital at some point!" Thus far, the latter has yet to occur. I've been doing this for nearly a year. I have earned myself a new scar from the aforementioned second degree burn, and one singe mark on my jeans. I don't even wear gloves half the time. Literally just eye protection, common sense, and fast reflexes and you'll probably be fine. (Accidents still happen of course, but I have found adequate safety weirdly easy to achieve with this hobby)

A forge is not a fire. The forge is the thing blacksmiths put their metal in to heat it up. It starts as a small fire, usually with newspaper or something else that's relatively small and burns easily, which we then put in the forge itself, which is sort of a fireplace-esque thing (there's a lot of different types of forge, look into it and try to figure out what sort of forge would make the most sense for the context you're writing about) and we cover it with coal, which then catches fire and heats up. The forge gets really hot, and sometimes really bright. Sometimes when I stare at the forge for too long it's like staring into the sun. The forge is also not a waterfall of lava, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.

Welding and blacksmithing are not the same thing. They often go hand-in-hand, but you cannot connected two pieces of metal with traditional blacksmithing alone. There is something called forge welding, where you heat your metal, sprinkle borax (or the in-universe equivalent) on it to prevent the metal from oxidizing/being non-weldable, and hammer the pieces together very quickly. Forge welding also sends sparks flying everywhere, and if you're working in a small space with other blacksmiths, you usually want to announce that you're welding before you do, so that everyone in a five-foot radius can get out of that five-foot radius. You also cannot just stuck some random pebbles into the forge and get a decent piece of metal that you can actually make something with, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.

Anvils are really fucking heavy. Nothing else to add here.

Making jewelry is not a blacksmithing thing unless you want jewelry made of steel. And it will be very ugly if you try. Blacksmithing wasn't invented to make small things.

If there's anything here I didn't mention, just ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Turn on the YouTube captions for Love Me, Love Me, Love Me

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

Does anyone have a fic like this?

What if boys were adopted since baby

except Damian.

I’ve actually had a similar head cannon - that many different varieties of Saiyans on planet Salada, but only one or a handful of similar looking races made it off planet and eventually to the planet now know as planet Vegeta.

One idea I had for a race was a people who lived on a polar ice cap that had thin ice in places. Because of this turning Oozaru could cause them to fall through the ice and, as Oozarus can’t seem to fly and probably can’t swim, drown or die of hypothermia. Therefore, this would be a society that ritualistically cuts off infant’s tails to keep them alive.

They would also be one of the few races that created intricate layered clothing, as races in temperate climates could stay warm with grown out winter fur, and races in tropical and desert climates would simply overheat. Not to say that those races didn’t have their own clothing traditions, those traditions just didn’t involve several layers of thick bear and goat fur.

Saiyans in tropical and desert climates would be dark of skin and have little to no fur - like humans in the same conditions. It’s hot out, and there’s strong sun. Clothing traditions would involve body paint because it looks cool and doesn’t cause heatstroke.

The Saiyans on planet Vegeta probably originated from a warm ocean climate, or a jungle. Warm enough to have no body fur, but without year round direct sunlight, unless I decide to head cannon away their fair skin.

… I may have several pages of additional details on my notes app, but they can be shared later…

(LONG THREAD AHEAD)

I pitched the idea for "regional" Saiyans. Saiyans who evolve and adapt to their settled climates. Whis tells Goku and Vegeta that there are smaller Saiyan tribes that inhabit other less universes (not just U6).

These Saiyans inhabit a water/ice-based planet. They're based off of Japanese macaques or "hot spring monkeys". Naming system has been after bathroom products. They're super lazy but can inflict heavy damage if you engage a fight with them.

Planet Sento is predominantly an ice planet. The tropical hot springs are made from volcanic vents underneath that melt the ice of the surrounding area. Sentos have thick skin and fur and are accustomed to the scalding temperatures of the springs.

They're classified in roles: Therapies, Offense troopers, transporters, and Elders. Transporters are the Sento Saiyans with the thickest coasts who haul resources or thinner coat Saiyans to and from neighboring tribes. Offense Troopers are usually male/females with thick-enough coats who protect the Transporters. Therapies are females with thinner coats that can't venture through the arctic areas and they perform massage therapy on the troopers or transporters. If a Sento Oozaru is calmed enough from thrashing by soaking in the hot springs, Therapies swoop in to try and revert it back to base form using head scritches or giant leaf fanning.

Their courting/mating practices consist of top-tier acrobatic performances to impressing mates. Hetero/Homosexual relationships accepted.

They only really turn into Oozarus if you agitate them or they can't get access into the hot springs. Their skin and fur is thick enough to take the boiling temps of the spring but can scald regular skin. The spring has senzu-bean and muscle stimulator properties.

They don't really speak a lot since they sleep most of the time so they use ASL to communicate most of the time.

Powerwise I'd place them at SSJ3 level only when they're active fighting. They're fight primal style at ground-base. They cannot fly but can launch themselves in momentum. They can't sense energy but go by scent.

Main thing is Super forms. They do not physically turn into the forms. They learn to use the form's properties. (stamina\ki control\moveset). Think Ikari Broly. The only indicator of what form they're utilizing is eye color. If they're using SSJ, their eye color will change to the form's eye color.

In origins, there were a group of og saiyans that served under Vegeta's Great Grandfather and they decided to step away from the throne. They were exiled and accidentally discovered beings who could travel between universes at will. They had no desire to come back with Cold's regime active.

(There's a lot more information and I'll update the post again later.)
