#I have the soap gene

[gallium-spoon]

Hey question for people who don't have the cilantro soap gene

What does cilantro taste like to you guys?

[opossumbard]

Do you think there is someone out there who has the Taste Like Soap gene, and likes it? So they just go about their life like 'yeah no i like cilantro, I must not have that gene."

i don’t know if you’ve already been asked something like this before so i’m sorry if you already have buttt do you think eddie would like spicy food? i was eating kimchi jjigae while i was reading some eddie fics and it got me thinking about if he’d like to eat any type of spicy foods lol

i’ve talked about this before, but i myself eat foods relative to my cultures and a TON of international cuisines, than say the standard burger and fries mentioned in fics (my own included, only so much we can do with indiana in the 80s lol) so i love talking about it!

i think he’d try it out, to keep up with you, but the poor boy snacks on pretzels and he lives in the midwest. i feel like tabasco alone would take him out and eating a jalapeño would have him sweating with watery eyes, Kimchi-jjigae or anything with a spice level beyond buffalo wings (and even those get him coughing) would put him in the hospital for an extended amount of time or kill him lol

but he’d ALWAYS be done to eat it if it’s something you enjoy, tries to tough it out and endure the teasing that follows.

i imagine it like he’s on a perpetual episode of the hot ones, but with spicy foods from all over the world depending on what you like and he’s always fighting for his life to hold it together.

not to mention how he’d destroy any bathroom afterwards and probably die in the process

people are always like 'boo hoo this tequila/distilled alcohol tastes too strong it hurts' I'm just. Is this a white people thing. I mean I am white too, but I'm just really trying to understand. it doesn't compute

Hot take I’m a massive tea drinker who breaks every rule. I don’t heat it to a specific temp. I don’t time it when I steep. I sweeten it (with monkfruit drops) before I taste it because no I’m not gonna taste something that was boiling three minutes ago how about YOU burn your tongue off. I don’t even much care if I steep it too long. I will mix and match whatever I feel like when I fill the steeper I’m just out here making experiments with tossing in lemon zest or a piece of ginger I don’t give a fuck. If I don’t think the tea is strong enough I grab a White Emperor (racist much) bag from the cabinet and toss it in next to the steeper. I like adding weird shit like cocoa powder or vanilla and not just to rooibos either.

I don’t even care how big the mug is I’m filling it to the brim if it’s not enough tea I’ll add more or steep it longer. I’m a fucking rebel.

I like cold brew tea just as much as hot tea. In fact, if I make hot tea and forget about it long enough to become cold, great. Now I have a cold drink. Delicious.

And you know what??????? I still think 90% of teas taste the same. I’ll still drink them but I don’t have much preference as long as it’s not green tea or peppermint because I’m very allergic to those. I mean I’m often allergic to a lot of the ingredients I sprinkle in but I mean peppermint literally melts my insides and leaves me bleeding for days but green tea turns me into an inflatable non-fun house and it hurts so bad.

But like. Yeah. I got a lot of things wrong with me, but my insistence to drinking something that I believe 90% of the time tastes basically the same??? Lmao.

[charmcoindied]

[shadynightly]

i don't talk much about my flight rising stuff here bUT I GOT SO LUCKY WITH MY FATHOMS IM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED

these are the gene scries i'm going through with but im so excited to actually figure out outfits AAA

[reliquiaenfr]

so i've been working on baldur's gate 3 fandragons for... a while now. many of these ones i have (only missing gale, wyll, withers, and alfira) but you see the problem is idk if i care about them enough anymore. the dragons i've got are just sitting in hibden purgatory, ungened and unloved and... idk that i want to gene them.

every time i think 'maybe i'll just keep x' then i think i have to keep y and then z and then i'm thinking about how much i want them all and also i need these other characters. you feel me? there are so many characters in bg3 and i'm like... i don't think i want them all. i don't want to go down that rabbit hole.

anyway, i might be getting rid of these guys. i've deleted the scries and outfits from my library, but i wanted to save the images somewhere at least. for posterity. because i put so much effort into all of them. maybe that will help me let them go

Fun fact about covid and cilantro. After covid cilantro stopped tasting like soap. Now I like it. I wonder what that means

you can enjoy more tacos clearly
