Sydney Adamu: the chemist of the kitchen
Tumblr media
I keep coming back to this moment, to this second in “Brigade”, not only because is one of my favorite Sydcarmy moments but also because it could give us a clue about Sydney’s future.
So, Sydney didn’t know about this dish previously. The camera made a point on focusing her face just minutes before, to show her thinking about Carmy was saying. Why do that if not to highlight the fact that Sydney was hearing about all this for the first time? There is also the possibility that the dish Sydney ate at Carmy’s restaurant was the one they were talking about. But even that, she had to figure out, how they made that particular texture. A discovery that took a chef, with more accreditations that she has ever had, an entire year to figure out. Hence the complete and utter impression that she knowing how to do it had on Carm. He has recognized her skills before but this was some other level shit, the first time he could suspect she could get to his level. There is a motif between Syd and the Vel fat, somebody pointed out that Carmy was buying some when he met with Claire for the first time in the season, as a signal that he was thinking of Syd and doing a dish that would interest her.
Now, I want to highlight the fact that Sydney’s discovery was on a chemical process, hence why it took this other chef some much time to figure it out. For them it was likely the result of repeated experiments in order to, maybe, get the right combination out of luck. The fact that Sydney made this discovery, even if she was thinking about it for a while before, is likely the result of mental analysis, not experiments, how could she have experimented with all this fancy ingredients Carmy had, all on her own?
Some fic writers had speculated that Syd may have a stem related degree, maybe in pure chemistry, man that would be so cool. Maybe she got burned out in becoming a chemist or just recognized her true passion.
All of this to say I think it would be cool if her knowledge becomes the base for creative process in the future. Maybe experiment or analysis will help her to come with ideas. Kinda “lessons in chemistry” type of thing. It will get her a voice that is distinct from Carmy’s.

Me, when Sebastian joins my party for the first time: Okay, this time I'm not going to forget about you, Sebastian. I'm going to make an effort to use you a lot this playthrough so I can better understand you.
Also me, immediately forgetting about Sebastian while finishing Act 2 and making it halfway through Act 3 before I finally notice his Faith quest: ......................Oh. Right. My bad.
#da2#dragon age 2#sebastian vael#listen in my defense..........i don't like bringing sebastian anywhere sksksks#okay look i seriously tried but every time i bring him somewhere i always think man i wish i had brought someone else#and also i do just forget about him! i finally added him to my party at one point and he had 24 points to spend...#that's how long i neglected him after i promised myself i was gonna use him more and then i didn't#it's not that i don't like sebastian as a character though i do tend to side eye him A LOT... it's just that i like everyone else more#even aveline like i'd take aveline over sebastian any day and that's saying something... or is it? i have a lot of feelings about aveline#whereas my feelings about sebastian could maybe fill a thimble...it doesn't help that in my canon run as a mage hawke#i romance anders and well... sebastian wants me to kill anders and my hawke is like 'do i approve of blowing up the chantry? complicated.'#'am i breaking up with anders for this? absolutely. do i still love him? mmhmmm. am i going to kill him sebby? i'd sooner set varric aflame#then sebastian threatens to bring an army to kirkwall and leaves so i can't say i have the greatest opinion on him#even the time where i did kill anders and he stayed in my party he was just... there#and then he glitched out and started t posing while asking if ed ever found out what anders wanted to do in the chantry so..... yeah#but even this playthrough where i'm playing as a lady warrior with a different personality and everything... i'd just rather use anyone els#also keep him away from bethany i do not approve sksksks she's too good for him#i want to understand and see the different angles of him like with the other companions but i've yet to convince myself to do it#also sebastian romancers out there can you like... explain? genuinely can you explain the appeal? i'm curious#because of all the love interests in da2 i look at sebastian and you'd think i'd maybe be more interested? but it's like...#i know about the chaste marriage and everything like that's fine i don't need sex to be a thing in the relationship but it feels less like#an asexual romance and more like... y'know... being with a priest and i guess that's just not one of my kinks? sksksks#i guess there's also the prince angle but i romanced alistair in dao and kept him a grey warden i don't really care about royalty power#and i don't have issues with him being a part of the chantry [well i do but yknow what i mean] since i romanced cullen in dai#and his whole deal with the chantry and magic and shit makes his romance interesting to me but sebastian is just.... a bit too much i think#i don't know i'd like to understand because i really don't but i also keep forgetting about him

@siempreminta whispered a line !! 100 nonverbal prompts ( accepting! ) 07 reversed - receiver wraps their arms around a hysterical sender to calm them
Tumblr media
     HE  COULD  HEAR  THE  SOUND  FROM  VERY  FAR  AWAY.  The tell - tale cues of distress,  so sweet as it was.  High pitched hysteria,  really.  Was it panic?  Fear?  A result of a nightmare,  perhaps?  He followed the sound with a perked up ear  &&  eager eyes.  He spotted her quickly in the relative dark of hotel lobby.
        ❛  Oh,  my.  What seems to be the problem?  Dove,  yes?   ❜
Tumblr media
     She was newer to the hotel,  he believed.  A lost little soul,  certainly,  sweet in looks  &&  behavior both.  A soft little sigh left him as he put a lengthy arm around around her small frame.  An attempt at comfort,  maybe.
        ❛  Why are you out here alone like this?  ❜
Nosy,  curious,  whatever you liked to call it.  Opportunistic.

@angelichooves  whispered a line  !! unprompted  ( always accepting! ) "Okay, well. Maybe I could help with this one? You said you were making a new thing for these Sinners, right? Lay it on me, Char-Char." - Lucifer
Tumblr media
     HAVING  HER  DAD  HERE  NOW  was new  &&  challenging in its' own right.  Mostly for the sake of its' new - ness.  She loved having him here,  she was so incredibly grateful to have his support.  It was a little more awkward,  though,  it felt like.  She wanted to curry his favor,  his approval,  always,  &&  so far  ...  well.  It hadn't been easy,  &&  she had some worries.
Tumblr media
         ❛  Well,  I've been thinking about trying to landscape a bit,  set up a little garden space.  Studies show that spending time outside is an overall mood booster,  &&  it could be a project that everyone gets to take part in  &&  leave their own little mark,  you know?  I'm just not super sure where?  I considered doing,  like,  a rooftop addition?  Or a greenhouse off to the side,  on top of just little window boxes  &&  little things.  ❜
     It was simple,  sweet,  &&  something she hoped would promote some more easy comraderie between the others.  She wasn't the expert on shaping the land,  though,  or building new additions.  She was trying to procure the proper tools already,  but she looked to Lucifer for his opinion quickly,  waiting with bated breath.

Ngl, if Tiana doesn't wield a firearm in some way in her new series, I'm gonna be so disappointed. Firearms were already very legal and commonly used in the States by the mid-late 1920s (which is when TPATF mostly takes place), so I'd like to see her sport it at least once. She'd be the first Disney Princess to canonically wield a gun/firearm. They seriously need to make that happen. Also, why doesn't fanart of her wielding a firearm exist????
#tiana#disney#the tiana series#i hc tiana as a pro-gun person like honestly. she would only use it when she REALLY needs it to tho. that'd be her whole thing#you can't tell me she doesn't have a firearm hidden in the kitchen in case someone breaks in. i see tiana as THAT type#she wouldn't really shoot but at least intimidate the intruder#i mean she used louie to f*cking scare the racist businessmen into giving her the damn key to the territory#don't think for one second she wouldn't wield a firearm to scare someone away#“why are you hc'ing tiana as pro-gun” my brother in christ this was the united states in the '20s#the us has always been known for its VERY pro-gun stance#also given the era she grew up in (jim crow) that woulda been very useful anyways#tiana is badass like that#crazy to think she is the only princess who possibly lived till the 21st century#she was born in 1907 as she was 19 in 1926. that sh*t is incredible tbh#disney will never ever show that but man it makes you think like damn she really saw ALL of the social change#i know she isn't real#i get that part but i'm sorry dp's are the most important characters to me so it blows my mind that she possibly lived till the 21st centur#it's crazy but cool#“you are glorifying gun violence. that's horrible” no sister i'm just talking about how cool and badass it'd be for a disneh princess to#wield a gun. they've wielded swords and bows before (mulan ariel [in the sequel for a brief moment] rapunzel probably MERIDA moana quite#possibly RAYA) so why is a gun any different? also that's a whole another vibe tbh#naveen is the one that would be like “WAIT WAIT WHY ARE YOU HOLDING THAT THING???” dude is probably a gun HATER#i can tell it. “i don't understand you americans's obsession with guns!!!! seriously!” and tiana is like oh poor bby lmaooo#jasmine did too in the series!! these b*tches are no stranger to WEAPONS lmao

i do not know if i ever sent this to you. i have posted it. i hope you like it Princess.
Tumblr media
#uhhhhhm no you HAVE NOT SENT THIS TO ME BEFORE?!?!#I literally am speechless#I’m not super talky right now#but even if I was I feel like I’d still be fucking speechless#like I already said I love your writing ���#and it fucking BLOWS ME AWAY when people write about me or use me as an inspiration#like????????? what??????? me???????????!#I’m going to keep this close to my heart and look at it whenever I’m feeling down#I don’t remember if I said that already but it’s true#I need to get a journal or a cute box to put things like this in so I can just grab it and look through them when I’m feeling shitty#one thing I needed to say is the fact that you shared this with me now of all times??? is kinda crazy to me#idk if it’s a coincidence or if the universe/God/whoever/whatever is trying to tell me to go back into music and singing#not going to go into it too much but I’ve been looking at my life a lot lately#and I’m realizing I’m not getting any younger…. I know I’m still young but if I don’t do something soon -#my life is going to completely pass before my eyes and I really really don’t want that#I’m *finally* going to get mental help soon (long story but I have to wait a few weeks)#and once I’m actually mentally stable I can focus on what I want to do with my life#so I’ve been thinking a lot about my performing arts background and then randomly a get an email from a choir director I know#asking if I could please join the choir for their Easter performance cause they could really use my high notes#and she just kept complimenting me and it felt really nice ☺️#then when I went to the first rehearsal I sat next to this girl and we were singing a part and the first sopranos go up to a high A#and I can hit it easily but most of them couldn’t so it felt like I was going this mini solo lol#but she asks me what my range is and I told her that back when I trained I could sing queen of the night which I think goes up to an F6#and she was talking about how impressive that is#and it made me think about if I actually trained and got back into it how good I actually could get#I don’t mean this to be like ‘look at me look at me I’m so good’#it just feels nice to have a little bit of a direction again#who knows if I’ll actually go down the music path again but it does sound damn exciting#I miss it with all my heart - I miss singing and performing and acting… I even miss music theory#anyway rant over and i ran out of space but thank you so much I seriously can’t thank you enough 😭🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

@radiiosugars summoned the Queen !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
        HUSK.  The bartender of her daughter's hotel.  He used to be an Overlord,  a powerful one,  at that.  Lilith liked to keep track of the Overlords hitting the top.  But with a series of Overlord fallings for varied reasons,  it seemed like the once lucky cat was no longer quite so lucky.  She knew many Overlords had been killed by the very Radio Demon inhabiting the same hotel,  but given that Husk was alive,  the details of his power loss  &&  fall remained quite the mystery.
     But Lilith had come back to Hell,  with every intent of watching this little project of her daughter's in some way.  She had low hopes that it would work,  at least the way Charlie was currently handling it.  She had plenty of reasons to be concerned,  not only with the people that she seemed intent on inviting,  but even more so the seeming complete  &&  total trust placed in them.  As it stood,  though,  she was in no position to be making changes of her own for now.  So,  instead,  she found herself settled at the bar,  watching the winged - cat demon with interest in her eyes.
        ❛  Husk,  correct?  I remember your days in power.  You've made quite the change in profession!  ❜    Lilith said the words with a small laugh,  although she did not necessarily mean it to be rude.  A mere observation.    ❛  I doubt a real set of introductions is necessary.  But I am curious if you would allow me to pick your brain a little,  my dearest bartender.  &&  if I could get a brandy?  If not,  anything will do,  of course.  ❜

I finished Baldur's Gate 3 tonight, and I am almost completely satisfied. It was a spectacular game! A lot of thought and patience goes into it, especially when you play like I do with mods that expand the party and my insatiable need for loot. The story and the characters are all beautifully written, and I can see how there might be thousands of different ways to play it! I think the only addition I could possibly ask for is for something at the very end, one of those sequences where the narrator tells us what each character in the party goes on to do after the credits roll. Other than that, I am quite satisfied with how it turned out! I got the endings I wanted, the mods I used upped the quality of life to the max, and I had so much fun playing! If you have the time for a game as involved as this one, I absolutely 100% recommend it!
#For those who want some spoilers on some of my choices I'll put them down here!#I wanted to romance Karlach at first but missed my chance and romanced Shadowheart instead#I do not regret this decision as she is gorgeous and also as it turns out polyamorous as I romanced Halsin as well!#I saved the Grove and slaughtered all the goblins but missed the solution where you find out the truth about Kahga#I made the mistake of letting Lae'zel into the githyanki machine instead of my main character#Apparently if I'd passed those checks I would've gotten all the mindflayer abilities as bonus actions instead of actions!#I cleared both the Mountain Pass and the Underdark before progressing to Act 2 through the Underdark#I made sure to do everything I needed to in order to break the Shadow Curse and free the land around Moonrise Towers!#I had Wyll break his pact with Mizora but we were still able to save his father#Astarion killed Cazador but did not ascend and we released the victims into the Underdark#Shadowheart broke away from Shar completely and was taken back under Selune's wing after she let her parents pass on#Lae'zel defected from Vlaakith after learning the truth about Orpheus#Gale did not blow himself up and decided to deliver the crown to Mystra as she requested#We freed Orpheus instead of siding with the Emperor after discovering it had been lying to us about its intentions from the start#Even though we fixed Karlach's engine she was still going to die so we avoided that death by having her become a mindflayer at the end#Every time I was feeling iffy about one of these decisions the characters' reactions afterward helped me feel like I made the right choice!#So well written and acted!#Baldur's Gate 3#BG3

"your secondary research, arguments and ideas were very original and impressive and showed very thorough demonstration. you should be incredibly proud of this work this is genuinely the best i've marked of yours in three years. also i know i told you that structure is subjective and there's no right way to structure an essay but you structured this wrong and your title is very wordy lol so here's a 66"
Tumblr media
#I am so severely praying on her downfall she has no idea#i was going to be mysterious and not rant in the tags but i NEED TO omg#she wouldn't stfu about 'i want original ideas. give me something ORIGINAL GUYS'.#and this woman i'm absolutely convinced has it out for me because she has nitpicked and destroyed every single assignment i've done for her#(she marked me down for an audio recording of a presentation because apparently i didn't handle the subject matter 'maturely')#(she thinks i didn't want to say the words breasts or folds)#(I didn't CARE i was literally just out of breath from trying to fit 20 slides into a ten minute voice note but FINE WHATEVER)#so anyway for this essay i was like fucking bet i'm about to blow you away#but there was nothing she taught us in the seminars that was really worth expanding on#or that hadn't been taught or talked about before#so i went ahead and did this massive essay on eroticism of the decadence period. fin de siecle. victorian hellenism etc#all the research btw i did myself because all this woman did was mention pederasty maybe once in person#and she had the nerve to mention that i had 'planted the seeds for a first tier essay' like WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN#if the only thing that it lacked was 'slightly awkward structure' 'occasional referencing mistakes' and a WORDY TITLE#A FUCKING WORDY TITLE#WHY NOT JUST GIVE IT A 70#noooooo she had to be different couldn't even give me a 68. fucking 66.#absolute tramp i fucking hate this woman idc#she's my personal tutor as well how absolutely useless

when u tell someone who hasn’t had to apply for a job in a while “the interview process is like 6 weeks atp” they don’t believe you but a lot of employers will wait like 2 weeks to follow up, and they always need to do multiple rounds of interviews which takes a week for each round, and then there’s two more weeks of dead silence before you hear back. sometimes you’ll apply for something in january and they will call you up in the summer like “hey you still want the job” it’s crazy. they’re out here putting desk clerks through two phone interviews and two in persons at two different locations. they make the pages interview TWICE and they also have to do TWO sorting tests!! that job pays well below minimum wage, it’s a job meant for retirees and high school students why do you interview them like it requires a mlis
