Aita for lying about an allergy?

Im a picky eater, which is embarrassing to admit as an adult. I dont like any seafood at all, so sometimes when people offer/suggest it to me, i tell them i have a mild allergy. Not the anaphylactic kind, just the itchy mouth and throat kind. People usually get it and dont offer me any more.

I have a friend who has a real shellfish allergy, to whom i mentioned offhandedly that i actually just lie about my "allergy" bc i dont like it, and he said thats kind of fucked up and i should be honest and just tell people i dont like seafood. He said by lying im making people feel guilty for accidentally offering food that could "hurt" me, which is not my intention. He also thinks i should eat seafood because i can and he cant, so i should, like, indulge i guess :|

I dont think its a big deal, its a white lie and it saves me the social embarrassment of confessing to be a picky eater and having people try to force me to eat food i dont want. And like, it doesnt even come up that often. But still, i dont know. AITA if i continue to lie about this fake allergy?

What are these acronyms?

keeping objects as pets #3: candles!

hi there! in this series, i’ll be going over basic descriptions of commonly-kept object species (and some rare ones too!), facts about them, why you might want one as a pet, their basic needs and necessities provided you want to house one, and things you should NEVER do. for the third of this series, we're covering candles!

description

candles are a very diverse breed of object that come in a ton of unique shapes and sizes. some are short and stocky while others are very tall! they usually are less than a foot tall, but they can be taller, in rare instances. their legs are plantigrade, with three fingers per hand and three toes per foot. their claws are non-retractable. their limbs, while softer underneath, are covered in hard and inflexible flame-resistant scales, similar to that of a pangolin or armadillo. they are able to light spontaneously, but this takes more energy than they typically have and they often must find a way to produce their flames on their own.. their wicks regrow over time if damaged and have no nerves. they produce wax through their whole life.

facts about candles

uniquely among objects, candles can sometimes produce a thin covering of a glasslike material to protect their wax bodies. object biologists aren't fully sure why this gene is inactive in some candles and active in others. their bodies, unlike real candlewax, are more soft and malleable and therefor more prone to damage, so it's agreed on that this "jar" formation is meant as a protective covering, though with it being so fragile, some specialists have suggested it to play a role in mate selection in the wild. their diet consists primarily of insects in the wild, but can be supplemented with crustaceans as well - they seem to have a taste for shellfish.

why as a pet?

candles aren't as skittish as lanterns, and can be quite bold at times. they aren't curious by nature like backpacks, though, preferring to stay in small groups in a remote location. this can make them ideal for people looking for an object that doesn't need company every single day, though this shouldn't be an excuse to neglect them! their melted wax can be collected and used as a regular candle as well, so for people who like to meditate, this can be a great way to save money, provided they can meet the needs of the creature. these animals are quiet and reserved, and very easily trained, which can make them ideal for people with children in their homes as well.

basic needs + do’s and dont’s

as previously stated, candles primarily consume insects. they favor grubs over adult insects, but their teeth are able to crack open the shells of most beetles, roaches etc. this can make them great for pest control in houses with lots of insects, but you should never rely on them for this! their primary need is that they absolutely MUST BE LIT now and then! candles produce wax through their whole lives and in the wild they will light themselves if possible (sometimes using tools to achieve this), but due to potential danger with fire indoors you absolutely HAVE to light them yourself to burn excess wax off. if the dripping wax is an issue, you can try waiting for it to harden again before scraping it off floors. alternatively you can try "dry-waxing", which is a relatively new practice for candle owners. this consists of using special waxing tools to remove built up wax from the object; care must be taken as removing too much can be extremely painful for the object and possibly even kill them. this is why i recommend taking your object to the vet to have them perform this instead to avoid harm to your pet. if your candle is hesitant to go in a carrier, you can try luring them with a raw shrimp, one of their favorite treats.

their primary sources of enrichment come from their environment, which is a great way to lead into:

housing

candles don't require a massive space, but these animals do require at least a medium size house to be fully comfortable. they like to have a visually stimulating space, with bright colors - if your home has more muted colors, i suggest setting up a "den" for your candle to keep them stimulated. as far as toys go, they actually aren't as overly playful as some species, but maybe have some cat toys such as feathers on poles for them or mice to throw around.

that’s all! hopefully this helps educate anyone who is considering this species!

ʚꕤɞ SPLIT 🍌 X READER (Who Loves To Make Jokes!) ʚꕤɞ

~~~~~~<3~~~~~

☆When Split first learned about you having a liking to jokes, INSTANTLY BEST FRIENDS.

☆You both love to make jokes to Infected and Poob (just finding out Poob, Infected and Split are canonically best friends).

☆You two make the most corny jokes ever. “Hey Split.” “Hmm?” “Why do bananas have to wear sunscreen?” Before you could even finish the joke she was holding back her laughter. “I dont know.. *giggles* Why?” “So they dont PEEL!” You finish as you both burst out in laughter.

☆You had once tried to get Gnarpy to laugh, but..

“Hey Gnarpy! Wanna hear a joke?” “Ugh. What you Zeeboing?!” “Why wouldn’t the shrimp share his treasure? Because he was a little SHELLFISH!” You laugh, but Gnarpy doesn’t. “Did you not get it?” “I got the ‘joke’, but it wazn’t funny you ZOINK!” You quickly stoped sharing jokes with xem after that.

☆But for some reason, Bive is very skeptical about you. Always saying your mind washing her with your jokes. But personally, you just think she doesn’t like you. So you decided to ask. “Hey Bive.” “AHH! WHAT?!” “Do you not like me?” “MIND WASHING!” “Huh?” “GET AWAY!” “Ooookkkkaaay..?” She definitely likes you.

☆But back to you and Split. You guys have sleepovers a lot. And I mean A LOT! So much so that you basically live in her house. Your like that one bsf that just walks in and they just don’t care.

☆You guys also both love coming up with new jokes to tell Infected and Poob. “Hey Poob! What do you call an alligator that wears a vest?” “Hai Y/N! Nuh wah do I cal it?” “An In-Vest-igator!” “Huh? Oh. OH!! I GET IT!! DATS FUNY!” You both laugh out loud as Infected just looks at you both confused with a ‘I dont get it?’ Type of look.

THANK YOU FOR READING! MAKE SURE TO REBLOG AND LIKE! BYE MY STARS!

your reblog about sex just being another thing you might do with informed consent to make your partner happy is making me think interesting thoughts about your verse with ace Janus and dukeceit (the one with pining QPR LAMP in the background). bc it sounds like that's EXACTLY what Janus was doing!

"I don't hate this and it makes you happy and I know exactly what goes into it so I have no objections." and the only reason it was an issue was that neither of them really knew the context around it re: Janus being ace, so they were both worried about rejection

do you have any thoughts on what Janus and Remus might do about sex going forward? would they stop having it altogether or would it become a "making seafood paella for your birthday even though I don't enjoy shellfish" type treat?

i think for a while (maybe a few months) they dont have sex, just to give janus a chance to firm up his sense of boundaries and what he's okay with, but after that i definitely think its that kind of situation.

i actually think they might have more sex when it gets settled, just because its SO much less stressful for Janus when he doesnt have to put on an act about it. sex is fine, it feels good, but not having to Convince His Partner How Into It He Is makes it so much easier to for him just relax and treat it like what it is to him, which is basically an optional warm up before cuddling lol

just a background character, no info, nor do we need it, (remember the incident about that one hellhound frat boy)

but she looks so nice. maybe her shtick is she secretly has a demon form that steals the eyes from babies or something but,,,what if she doesnt.

you can be condemned for the most innocuous unjust reasons, not every soul has been hardened in this world, we see this in charlie and a similiar sheep girl from alastor's comic.

theres nuance in this world and people cant even wait for it to actually release before going off with "GRR ADAM IS MEAN SO ALL ANGELS TALK ABOUT THEIR DICK WHATS THE POINT THEN"

i dont see people freaking out over moxxie's mother being too nice despite being hellborn, so whats the issue here

that being said, i know a lot of people are in hell for total bullshit reasons that are listed in the bible, like being overweight, eating shellfish, working on a sunday

Hi i DONT really have that huge of a platform or anything so I just wanted to anonymously put this here(i know you don’t support Israel but I feel like the dumb bitches who do need to hear this)

#Free Palestine

I actually laugh sooo hard when people say “free Isrnotreal” like from what? From the endless amount of money that they get from us and uk tax payers??? Like actual jokers.

Also can we talk about them annoying mfs who say “i have boycott fatigue that’s why i got my Starbucks water” like it’s literally filtered water with eyes in a cup you can make it home like you’re buying overpriced water like you’re soo lucky to have that imagine the millions of people all around the globe that don’t even have access too CLEAN drinking water.

Also I hate HATE this one girl who’s my friend rn for many reasons but also like one time she brought a Coca-Cola to school and I said that they support Israel and she said “omg i guess I should try and make the formula to home like I’m so sorry for buying a drink I don’t know how me not getting Coca-Cola is going to help Gaza” so like now everytime she mentions any brand that supports Israel she turns to me and goes “omg sorry i forgot they Support Israel🤭 it’s just SO hard not to have..” like imagine how hard it is for the people IN GAZA like shellfish bitch.

Also if you’re still a Noah Schnapp fan you man fucking suck bro how are you going to support a 19 year old seeing someone wrote “stop genocide” and putting a “Zionism is sexy” sticker on it like ewww

If.you.still.buying.from.brands.that.support.Israel.you.are.supporting.a.genocide

Zionism is not sexy.

Saying “from the river to the sea” is NOT anti-Semitic at all

We all grew up being told about the holocaust and how bad it was and we always used to wonder “why didn’t anyone say anything”

This will be the same thing for people in the future when they think about this so do you want it to be on you that you never even attempted to try and help.

Your voice matters

Your opinion matters

Put pressure on your governments

Put pressure on these big franchises and conglomerates (e.g. Disney and Starbucks)

If we all pitch in we can strain them to the point where they have to listen

Emailto your local governors and mps

Be the change you want to see

‼️‼️‼️‼️

– anon send me the addy and i will beat tf out of that girl 😭😭. imagine not being able to live without coke or overpriced coffee. FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

– also if you’re latino and you somehow still don’t support palestine this is your reminder that whatever problems your country is facing has at some point most likely been supported by isnotreal!!

[baeddelicto]

Dont know how wide a palate someone who only cooks one meat can have, but hannibal does manage it

Well ok he doesnt only eat ppl u do see him prepare and serve various fowl, shellfish, fish, octupus, urchin u even see a definitive pig head at sum point...

But yes often it seems like whn serving beef or pork he is rlly serving human and i believe when he serves foie gras at sum point it is a human fatty liver. And it does range various cullinary traditions tbh... idk ig tnx José Ramón Andrés Puerta for bringing his expertise to the show.

hello

i have posted another chapter of my loong postcanon samsam fic. this is the 6th chapter out of 7 we're almost there i cannot Wait to physically bind this book when im done.......

anyway. if you like reading about gods who dont know how to talk about their feelings except via elaborate sexual murdersuicide you may enjoy this. medium sized sfw excerpt under the cut:

They meet in the first-floor room where Samothes takes his audiences, Samot dressed quickly in linen trousers and a thin, trellised blouse. The game board on the table in the centre of the chamber is still set from last night, when Samothes summarily thrashed his husband and two of their friends at chess, only because Samot was very drunk and hence distracted.

“Is something wrong down at the temple?” he asks his visitor now, pulling out one of the four vacant chairs for her to take. The woman who called up to him from the gardens does not sit, but lingers near the door as though eager to get her answer and be gone.

“No, it’s going fine. Isn’t there any way you can sense him, or something?”

“Or something,” Samot echoes in faint amusement. “Give me a moment.”

He crosses to one of the pink-white sandstone arches overlooking the bay, taking hold of a strand of ivy that has curled around the nearest pillar. Technically, he doesn’t need to be touching another Spring organism to extend his senses across the island, but he has lived long enough to understand the importance of appearances in spellcraft. Sunlight bathes his face as he closes his eyes to seek through root and tendril and leaf the telltale warmth of Samothes—and finds nothing.

He searches again, refusing to take that as an answer. Again, it is the answer returned to him. 

Samot turns to face his visitor, struck less by anxiety than a sheer and surprising rage—at Samothes’ apprentice, at Samothes himself for fostering a populace so dependent on him that they cannot cope with his absence for a single morning—then, locating the source of that frustration much further inside himself than he thought it had been, stifles it quickly.

“How urgently do you need him?”

“Well… I suppose it doesn’t have to be now. I wanted to give him something.” The apprentice rummages in the pocket of her overalls as he approaches, producing a small flat box.

"A gift?"

"From a few of us at the workshop. Since it’s a day in his honour and we’ve never had a birthday on record for him, so this seemed like the nearest thing." She smiles, a little awkwardly, as though alerted to Samot’s disquiet. “It can wait until later. Really.”

Easy to tell from the set of her mouth that she was excited to see Samothes’ reaction to whatever she has for him, and is disappointed by his absence in a way Samot cannot make up for. For a moment he sees in her the ghost of Maelgwyn, waiting in the hallway for Samothes’ return from a long day's work with some trinket made specifically to earn his praise. 

"I’ll find him,” Samot says, his voice a little softer now. “I imagine he’s out on the water.”

The young woman nods as he makes for the door, pocketing her gift box.

“Alright,” she calls after him. “Thanks.”

Samot is already away onto the stairs leading down to the gardens, but he hopes Samothes’ apprentice will return to the Shrine before mid-morning. Between her and Finlay and Smoulder, perhaps the isle’s first High Sun Day will run smoothly enough even without Samothes there to preside over his own celebrations. Of course, he promised he’d be back—but Samot has his doubts, old fears that no logic can root out, and so he hurries. Pauses not among the waking crowds and the smell of shellfish frying, but takes the shortest path seaward under iridescent rooftops, between walls of white-grey flint. The onshore wind is bracing after the sheltered town streets, ropes and fixtures slapping against masts in a bell-like chorus, and sure enough Samot finds the man he first knew as the old fisher’s son busy unmooring a dinghy not far from where his sloop sits at anchor.

"Not at the temple this morning?” he asks.

“Got lobster pots to check,” the captain calls back as he lifts the mooring rope, "and anyway I'm not much for the faith. Not his, at least.”

“You don’t have to be. There’ll be dancing later on, and the Shrine all festooned in sunflowers. It’d be a shame to miss it for work.”

“Now, I know you didn’t come down here to canvass for Samothes.” The captain straightens up, evaluating Samot’s slipshod appearance with dark eyes framed by locks of windswept grey. “What can I do for you?”

Samot makes himself smile. Ordinarily, he would let no duty keep him from giving this man’s beauty the time and attention it deserved, but this morning older loyalties have him captive.

“It has to do with Samothes, actually,” he admits. “May I come aboard?”

everytime i think abt the brief summer repackage arc i want to bang my head into a wall. i dont even know if it would be called that, more like moondaes first month of mental torture. liiike the way chungwoo was so okay with it despite moondae not being able to even look at him. like when theyre in the circle and chungwoo talks about the accident moondae goes and throws up in the toilet. moondae and chungwoos relationship is one of the most important bonds in the novel liiiike the zombie show?? how he noticed moondae was uncomfortable with the smoke and honestly that whole set of chapters is perfect. FUUUUCK I NEED TO KEEP REREADING AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHH omg i forgot abt his guilt from the coma lawl. best cousins ever they make me want to krill my shellfish
