Speaking of the sentimonster felix created and then murdered in representation, I feel like the folks that are either downplaying the fact that this moment made him a major hypocrite, or are trying to excuse and justify him doing this are forgetting the key important fact that he didn't NEED to create Once Upon a Time in the first place.

Not only do projectors exist, Felix is rich enough that he could have bought a warehouse full of them! Hell, he could have just grabbed one from the school(aka the building, he and kagami led Marinette into) itself as we've known since Heroes Day that very school is equipped with them!

Yeah that argument doesnt work for them either. Ive tried saying that, and it only generates a whole new round of incoherent explanations to excuse felix.

"Oh he HADDD to create the senti projector, Marinette couldn't know it was him or she wouldn't listen!"

So we're throwing Marinettes character under the bus for this loser now too, too bad its an excuse not based in reality though! Marinette prioritizes peaceful resolutions before violence, and she has attempted to reach out even to Hawk Moth and Lila before.

Ive also tried the "he could have used an actual projector" argument, that one usually gets ignored or brushed over with "no i think ur wrong and stupid" yet they can't tell me why im wrong lmao!!

All of this is totally irrelevant though because a projector was not needed to tell Marinette anything. If anything all it seemed to do was get his message lost in translation, but to that they wanna argue "IT WAS FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT!!!" Yeah that was absolutely the only, the SINGLE method that could have been used to achieve drama... um ok sure thing yeah.

And god FORBID u bring up the poster for the in-universe ladybug movie and the fact that its given an appearance right after Felix's play, god forbid if u try to imply that that means there's holes in Felix's story even though in S3 the show goes out of its way to tell/show us that even movies based on real life are full of filler bullshit that doesn't reflect reality.

"Im a superhero tiki not a star" hey maybe felix should consider this the next time he decides to communicate important time sensitive information via shitty play that cost a senti being its life!!! Hahahahaha

This fandom EATS up the small details and all their possible meanings...until they dont like the details. Then its "you're just being delusional and this is here for no big reason stop being stupid" lmao.

It doesnt matter how much logic u use they find a way to smack it down and make u seem illiterate for not buying into this privileged freaks redemption.

If there’s a piece of writing you love, that makes you wish you had the ability to do what it does, the tools you're looking for are inside the story itself. Fiction is rarely mysterious in how it works. All you have to do is pay attention with the right mindset.

What you’re looking for is cause and effect, set-up and pay off. What does that piece of dialogue set up a) within the scene and b) later in the narrative? What purpose does this moment serve for the story as a whole? Can you identify the turning points within the scene and the turning points in the larger narrative? How do they fit together? You’ll find these things tend to fall into general patterns. Don’t get distracted by focusing on character details, analysis, or speculation! Fandom tends to overemphasize character to the exclusion of everything else. You probably already know how to analyze characters, but how much time do you spend thinking about the mechanics of the narrative? If you can figure out what makes the stories you love work, you can teach yourself to do any kind of storytelling you want to.

Not to be the idiot who only comes into your askbox for recipes, but can you share the beef stroganoff recipe

No problem! I got it from my mother, who got it from her mother who passed shortly after I was born, so I got her blessing to share it. I'll be going closely to the original wording of the recipe with a few asides in parentheses for how I learned it/some of my own personal touches.

First you get your steak (specifically stew meat) and cut them into thin strips. Dust them with flour and a pepper (my personal strat is to put the meat in a zipped up gallon bag with roughly a third-cup of flour and some pepper and SHAKE THAT BAD BOY).

Melt a 1/4 cup of margarine into a skillet (Important step. I forgot the fully melt it last time I did this which caused the meat to stick to the skillet and burn). Once it's melted, put the meat into the skillet and brown it. Mix in a chopped onion (and mushrooms yeeeeeeeaaaaah mushrooms baby!!) and a chopped clove of garlic (I also personally advocate for adding garlic salt but that's just because I love garlic salt)

Once it's all mixed up, stir in a can of beef broth (about 2 cups). Cover it and let it simmer for an hour until tender.

Then you stir in a cup of sour cream and let it cook for 5 minutes. Then serve that over egg noodles. Boom. Beef stroganoff.

I've got some cooking right now, so I'll post pictures when it's done!

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

Precision puzzle platformer which initially appears to have a cliché "it was all a dream" ending involving the protagonist being found unconscious by the side of the road, except it's actually everything after your first "death" that was a coma hallucination, with different endings depending on how far you got before dying for the first time. You can tell whether you're still on the deathless route because certain of the game's more fantastical movement gimmicks do not appear in the "real world", obliging the player to devise alternative solutions for many puzzles.

"Fictional high school that's basically a miniature university because the author doesn't actually remember what high school was like" versus "author who really wants to write a high school sex comedy, but doesn't want the cast to be underage, so they invent a university that inexplicably operates like a high school".
