Roisin Conaty joins Big Zuu in his food truck to cook up her favourite pasta dish.

[ceevee5]

This hour-long BBC documentary follows him through Ramadan, where he is giving up his “sinful” ways – even as a committed Muslim, he loves the ladies, a bit of hash and the odd tipple. Despite being “westernised” and not the most pious of believers, he decides to go on the umrah pilgrimage to Mecca (in contrast to the hajj, this can be undertaken at any point in the year) to work out what Islam means to him. He is surrounded at most points by a small group of friends (his “mandem”) who are also Muslims and just as endearing as Big Zuu himself. For him, this experience isn’t about being a perfect, sin-free person. “This ain’t some fake religion documentary where I’m pretending to be some great Muslim and convert the world,” he tells us. Instead, he is sincerely trying to figure out his faith and become the very best version of himself.

JACOB ANDERSON Big Zuu's Big Eats: Season 2, Episode 5 (June 7, 2021)

[zu-is-here]

Hi zuu! How are you??? Merry early Christmas by the way!

I drew this silly oc at school!

I wonder how will aim spend this Christmas? Did he make a list for sansta? If so, how long is it (I remember myself making one with ifk how many toys lmao)

And second thing, I think Post Dark Cream Nightmare and Aim would fit so well with that one my little pony song "Open Up Your Eyes"! I did say this a few times but u didn't see my message,,,

Also a Lil evolution of my cats due lack of ideas since I'm not in the best mood for jokes or other stuff- (they are a big boy and a big girl)

Hii Vincent!╰(*´︶`*)╯Really good, thanks <3 And you?? ☆ Merry early Christmas to you too! (*´∇｀*)

It turned out soo nice *^* Heheh same! I believe Aim always makes a big list so Santa can find at least something from this for him >:3 Oh, I just came up with an idea... ♪

Ah!! I'm so sorry for missing the asks, my inbox is being pretty chaotic (>w<") This is a really powerful song indeed! ☆ I think Nightmare might think so, but he couldn't afford to ruin someone's childhood again (like they did to him and his brother) (úwù)

Awww they're such big babies! (〃ω〃) Thank you so much for sharing, and hopefully it'll get better for you ♡

UPD:

Thank youuu <3 Best of luck to you with it! (*'▽'*) And have a goood rest too ☆

Denzel Curry - ZUU

Rapper Denzel Curry just dropped a new album this past weekend called King Of The Mischievous South, Volume 2. As a sequel to a record that looks like an early mixtape from 2012, I’ve been a pretty big fan of his for the last five years or so. I enjoyed 2016’s Imperial quite a bit, but it didn’t sink in until 2019’s ZUU. There are a handful of albums that I associate with summer, and that record is one of them, because I played it so much when it came out in that summer. That record is so fun, loose, and energetic with lots of clever bars, catchy hooks, and wonderful production galore. At a brisk 29 minutes, it makes for a quick listen, but five years later, it still really holds up today.

This wasn’t my introduction to Curry’s music, but it was the album that turned me into a huge fan, as well as showed people that he’s a force to be reckoned with. Curry’s got such a charismatic presence, both in terms of his voice and what he has to say. ZUU is interesting, because its main theme is based on Curry paying homage to his roots in South Florida, specifically Carol City, and the album is reflective of that in both its lyrics and sounds. This is a Florida rap album, through and through, but it’s a lot of fun.

You could make an argument that the lyrics aren’t anything unique, but they don’t need to be. They’re celebratory, because they’re celebrating Florida and the many artists that came before him from the state. This is just one of those albums that you can bump and have fun with, and you don’t need to overthink it. A lot of people want to put rap to a higher standard, like its lyricism can only be intelligent and smart sounding, instead of anything else. Rock music has plenty of dumb lyrics, but why don’t people care about those? I know a couple reasons, but regardless, this record is a ton of fun and the lyrics do have some clever turns of phrase, references, and jokes thrown in them to make them fun and funny exciting.

I just really enjoy this album, especially for what it is — a short, catchy, and fun southern hip-hop record with a lot of trunk knockers that you can play loudly. It won’t win any awards, or blow someone away that doesn’t like the genre, but who cares? A good album is a good album, no matter the style. ZUU is a fun ride through South Florida, and instead of pretending you’re better than listening to some trunk knockers, just let loose and have some fun. Life is too short to be so uptight and critical about music, especially if you’re looking for a good time.

[saguaropokevariants]

(ask-imaginary-dreamers) Casey looks at the boxes curiously before looking back up to Professor Saguaro. “So, what’s in the boxes? You seem to have gotten quite a few…”

He’s a bit unsure if the Professor can understand him, so he also gestures towards the boxes with his paws, hoping his question will get across either way.

"Azu? Zuu zu! Azu zu!"

Ah! Thank you for the translation, Mint. Thankfully, when you Poke's got questions for me, Mint the Azumarill here can translate since I'm deeply connected with her. As for your question... I was just about to open these so!

So in the big boxes, I got fifteen Pokeballs containing Hisuian-form Pokemon! One of them is just an Alpha Eevee, but I'm sure Hisuian Eevees are a bit different nonetheless. The other is twelve eggs, which I will hatch in time-all containing the 'normal' forms of the Hisuian Pokemon inside the Pokeballs. The other two boxes, though... I have no idea. The smaller of the two has no return label or name... The other is listed to be from 'Cadell Saguaro'. My father. I'm... not particularly excited to see what's in that one.

...Also, ah... Do you, uh, perhaps need a stick? You don’t seem to have one on you, and I know Grookey tend to be rather connected to their drumming sticks...

A Freelancer's Guide to Galactic Exploration: The Zal

They're not even the deadliest thing on Pruna.

════ ⋆★⋆ ════

The zal (sin. & pl.) are an oviparous arthropodic species that, like the ix’ai, are known for their military prowess and cultural discipline — and boy, do they ever take it way too seriously.

════ ⋆★⋆ ════

Biology

Zal have elongated, triangular heads with beak-like snouts (labrum) and mandibles. They possess two compound eyes with thousands of ommatidia; a small area at the front of each (fovea) provides greater visual acuity, while the peripheral ommatidia are hyper-perceptive of motion. Their eyes are wide set and situated laterally, resulting in a wide binocular field of vision and precise stereoscopic vision at close range. Because of this, Zal are some of the best sharpshooters in the Xatal galaxy. 360 no-scope indeed! Their necks can rotate between 120-180 degrees. They also have tympanate hearing, with two tympana in an auditory chamber behind each eye. They are quadrupedal, walking on two pairs of five-segmented legs, each ending in two-toed claws, with an additional pair of spiked, mantislike (raptorial) arms ending in three-pronged graspers. The third prong has an extra segment with a rotating joint, allowing it to serve as a “thumb”. Zal have pronounced polymorphism, with four distinct sexes: kem, k’ot, gat, and rak’. ➤ Kem (di/dir) are the smallest, between 4’ and 5’ in adulthood, have milky or translucent carapaces with pink, blue, or lilac tinting at the terminal ends of limbs, antennae, face, and abdomen. Their antennae curve backwards and “droop” just below their shoulders. The carapace around their legs extends outward in “ruffled” plates and their abdomens are smaller and upward-curving. Kem can carry eggs and produce the structural protein froth required to form an ootheca, but cannot produce or fertilize them. They’re diurnal and biphasic. ➤ K’ot (ghe/ghen), while still small, have a larger height range at 4’ to 6’ tall. They have spiny structures on either side and underneath their abdomens and their carapaces are typically jade green, yellow, pink, or red, though k’ot have a higher probability of albinism. They have upright, curvy antennae that are banded with brown, dark orange, or black. They possess the reproductive organs of both gat and rak’, but only the gat (fertilization) organs are functional. K’ot are cathemeral and polyphasic (4-6 sleeps per day). ➤ Gat (zuu/zuur) are slightly taller than k’ot, but with a narrower height range: 6.5’ to 7.5’. Their abdomens are long and straight, extending well past their posterior legs. They have broad shoulders with a flared, shield-shaped carapace extension. Their carapace is mostly jade green, but tinted in brilliant red, white, blue, purple, and black along their “shield,” backs, “feathered”, mothlike antennae. Gat are also cathemeral, but biphasic (one big sleep, one little sleep). Gat exhibit fully functional fertilization reproductive organs. ➤ Rak’ (suu/suur) are the tallest, growing up to and sometimes over 8’ tall. They’re far narrower than gat, however; they have willowy builds with small, spiky, upward curving abdomens. Their carapaces are typically a solid green, pink, or brown, though mottling and marbling is somewhat common. Their most distinctive feature is the crest of horns they have in place of antennae. Rak’ can produce and carry eggs, as well as produce structural protein froth. They are crepuscular, monophasic, and have acute night vision. Zal will deposit between 10 and 50 eggs in an ootheca after a two-month incubation period. Eggs hatch in two to three months, and nymphs are almost always brown, red, or translucent white. Nymphs are always given neutral pronouns (chas/chul), because they do not develop any sex characteristics until their final molt. Nymphs undergo a molt every 4-6 years, and molt 5-10 times before full adulthood is reached; after the final molt, the newly emerged adult will exhibit their final sex characteristics and possess either long or short vestigial wings that lay flat against the back unless threatened. Zal do exhibit deimatic displays when faced with megafauna in order to distract the creature long enough to draw a weapon, but will not expose their wings to anyone they perceive as weaker — it is seen as a sign of submission and surrender.

Diet

Zal evolved from carnivorous ambush predators that were nowhere near the top of the Prunan food chain — the smallest of the megafauna, ritzal (imagine, if you will, a 12 foot tall moose with opposable thumbs), are capable of cracking an adult rak’ open like a Kinder Surprise Egg. It’s believed that whatever happened with the kailit mushroom spores’ evolution effected proto-zal’s neurological development rather than their physiological development (like everything else on the moon). All this to say: they have guns now. If they can kill it, they’ll eat it. If they can’t kill it, it eats them. For space-bound zal, they have perfected a method of vat-synthetization that produces relatively palatable vat-meat.

Social Organization

Zal live in a meritocratic republic; as individuals, they are highly competitive, and as a group this has led to rapid, efficient advances in technology, a strong public works system, and a booming economy — all in pursuit of being the Best. Nymphs are not raised by their parents, but by retired and disabled veterans and elders in nursery schools. Zal do not have family units; if they like each other, they stick together, otherwise they part ways once their business is concluded. Zal do, however, have service units, and that’s pretty close to a family, probably. Their society is built on individual merit and personal achievement. Nymphs are brought up with the strict belief that zal are superior, and that their purpose in the galaxy is to elevate others to their level of greatness. A weak link can break a chain, and so is the belief that a weak individual can wreak havoc on society as a whole. What is society but one big service unit, after all? On mixed-species ship crews, this means your friendly local murder mantis can and will move mountains for an uknuk who cannot reach a jar on a high shelf. It’s not “helping” to simply take the jar down for zuur crewmate. Helping does not mean doing something for someone else; no, “helping” is providing the tools or facilitating an environment in which an individual can complete a task with their own skills and knowledge. Zuu will build a stepladder out of scraps, or tape together a bunch of boxes, or provide a boost so zuur crewmate can pick up the jar with their own hands. Personal achievement! In line with setting someone up for success, zal emphasize the importance of inalienable individual rights: one cannot succeed unless one’s physiological needs are being met. As such, zal governments provide housing, healthcare, utilities, and transportation to all citizens. Nutrition is provided, but if someone wants something better than “fulfills biological needs and nothing else,” they can earn it. There is a place and a purpose for everyone in zal society, even foreigners. Those that cannot do physical work can teach, can write, can create, can do something, and by gum, we are going to figure it out together. The flip-side of this mentality is that oftentimes zal can come across as pushy, overbearing, or downright exhausting — there is no such thing as “giving up” and “failure” and “surrender” for zal. Ix’ai, as the exact opposite of the same coin, often carry sedatives for their zal crewmates. You know, to help. :) (Because they will work themselves to death. It’s happened.) Because of where zal have historically fallen in the Prunan food chain, it has given them an all-or-nothing approach to violence, fighting, and war: it’s a waste of resources when waged needlessly, but if pushed, they will do what needs to be done. When conflicts cannot be solved by any other means, duels are legal, regulated, and societally accepted. Zal do not make threats; they make promises. If you do not kill whatever is coming after you on Pruna, it can, will, and actively wants to kill you. They do not take prisoners — you surrender, or you fuck around and find out. First contact between the ix’ai and zal was messy and brutal. Second contact annihilated two star systems and cut both species’ populations in half. The zal threw a moon at the ix’ai. A moon. The cazen stepped in to broker a treaty before third contact destroyed them all. This treaty resulted in the Galactic Enforcement Agency: a multi-species organization dedicated to rounding up and rehabilitating criminals throughout the Xatal galaxy. More specifically, the ix’ai run the prisons, and the zal fill them up (with a little help from their friends). The direct opposing force to this is a multi-species network of pirates, smugglers, gangs, crime syndicates, and headhunters that make GEA’s job really difficult.

Naming Conventions

Zal nymphs are given names that are formed by combining the school syllable (known as the “legacy”) of the clutch they hatched from + the order they emerged from the ootheca + the initial sound of their nursery school’s name. For example, a nymph hatched from V’senaz’s clutch, who was the seventh out of the ootheca, born into G’ok-tet Academic Nursery would be named Nazyeg. Chul clutchmate, who was fifteenth, would be Nazaalaag. When zal reach adulthood, they drop their clutch syllable. Following the examples, Nazyeg would become Yeg after ghen final molt, and Nazaalaag would become Aalaag after suur final molt. Their new initial syllable (called the “achievement syllable”) will correspond to the rank they have achieved by the time they lay/fertilize their first successful clutch. V’senaz was a captain (v’alke) of dir own ship when di laid dir first clutch, and will be V’senaz for the rest of dir adulthood.

Cultural Note

Only courting partners, very intimate friends, or the zal who helped them hatch may drop the achievement syllable of someone’s name, and only with direct consent. It’s considered a massive disrespect to do so otherwise, because it symbolizes the stripping off of one’s “armor,” and is legal grounds for a duel or just being shot, depending on where you’re at in the galaxy. Under NO circumstances are non-zal to bring up the possibility of dropping the achievement syllable. If you’re an intimate friend, it will be brought up by the zal in question. They love their ceremony, and to be one’s intimate friend is a great achievement that deserves the proper honor (usually dinner and preening).

Hey zuu

Oh hii Gayfish! (*'▽'*)

UPD:

Oh no reason to worry about it! (ówò) Your family comes first so there's nothing wrong in delaying <3

My bad I'm empty-handed either but happy birthday to the twins! (〃ω〃) Your latest reblogs with them are such a nostalgia ☆

How are you doing today? *^* Heheh yours is sooo cute too! Pink rulesss (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)♪

Take your time╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Bruh!! It was such a mistake to use mascara cause I cried all my tears out in the end ;w; Did you like it?

OH yay!! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)

[spoilers for Barbie]

Ah I can feel you! (ówò)

Perhaps I didn't take it so politically cause Ken's attempts were more ridiculous than depressing to me, although there's a deep message here.

I guess this is not so much about patriarchy or matriarchy, but about the right to be whoever you want without being obligated to anyone?

That's what made me cry in the final, when Barbie asked her creator to be a human and not an idea and felt what it's like to be one ;w;

Oh!! (°▽°) I suppose it's really individual cause I didn't cry at all when I watched Everything Everywhere All at once, and while everyone was talking about how Great this movie is (it is! *^*), I was like "?? Well that was 60% crazy, 30% fun and 10% sophistic :'D"

Looks like it's controversial indeed ("ó3ó) What do you think would be a better ending? *^*

Pff true, she acted so good xp I also enjoyed Alan, he looks so confused the whole movie XD

Speaking of the other movie— did you watch Oppenheimer? *^*

Sadly no cause we can't watch it in cinema now :') But if they'll make it legal, I'll definitely go the second time all pink! \(//∇//)\

Oh these men ε-(´∀｀; ) Alternative? :0

Awww true! (〃ω〃) That's some real things <3

> Also no I haven't seen the other movie, but my friend has, and she really enjoyed it! So has jan!

This is not as exciting as Barbie is heh, but I'm a big fan of Christopher Nolan's films, and he nailed it again <3 (The adult scenes were superfluous though, but a man can have at least one in his career right? x)

[text ahead cause of the images limit xp]

> Alternative? You know like goth, punk things like that

Ah I see! (ﾟ∀ﾟ) Looks like it's not common for them in our modern world x)

> Other then the movie zu, how have you been? What you been up to?

Working on the next part of Trapped! (☆ω☆) Hopefully I can finish it before opening commissions, that's when the real work starts xp

Do you have other news to share? *^*

> Good luck with commisons zu!!

Nothing new, just been listening to phantom still, I wonder if there were any songs left out of the movie that you might not have heard

Thank youuu Gayfish! <3

So addictive (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)♪ Oh I wonder too *^*

> Recently I've been super into Notes and Notes twisted every way. As well as Why have you brought us here? Have you heard any of these before?

Woah— I don't remember listening to the first one! (°▽°) And I like how leitmotif repeats in the second one ☆ The voices are ssso good... *^*

> Oh! Did you just go off and listen to them now?? I love them to!! The way the voices mesh in the argument, and how christens name being repeated 3 times is a common motive.

Yesss! ♪ The musical must be better in terms of listening to them, cause in the movie, watching them steals almost all the attention :'D

> And the tunes of "His eyes will find me there, those eyes that burn"

Is the same as "hunt down this murderer, he must be found" in the finally

OH right!! (*⁰▿⁰*)

> It's also sad, how much the songs are starting to reflect christens trauma. She's so frightened, and his fear is growing ever strong, its twisting her perception of it all. All up until the point kf no return, and then the phantom singing all I ask of you.

The moment she realises that he knew about her and her lover the whole time. And she hears his true motive has truly been her the whole time, and she stands up and rips off his mask

Trueee, that was so intense in the movie as well ;w; Thought that's where the viewer knows that Erik saw them and knew about them, but the music shows it another way *^*

> I still haven't seen the movie, but the musical is spectacular visually as well.

I wonder if you'd enjoy the 25th anniversary recordings, it's very well shot.

The only thing that turned me off from the movie si that the phantom was cast for his appearance, not his voice, when it really should have been the other way around for a character who's a musical genius.

Awww I would! *0*

I've heard that many actors tried to get this role (Antonio Banderas as well?) and they took vocal lessons for this cause singing songs on their own was a prerequisite ☆

> Did you know that the longest running Broadway phantom played the role for 7 years? Almost every night for 7 years! The way they hop from one song to the next, his poor voice.

He got the biggest round of Applause at the end of the show

FOR real?? \(//∇//)\ That's crazy yet respectable!!

> One thing that was pointed out to me, which kinda kills alittle bit of the tension, js when Eric is over hearing All I ask of you, he's hiding behind the horses bottom, in the statue XD idk if makes me.laugh.

In the book he's ontop of a very high up statue, and it's a wonder he even heard them.

You know I've actually been to that oprea house

PFF well he's hiding after all xd You've been there?? (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)

> Also I'm sorry if you are getting tired kf talking, idk if you are busy with trapped and would rather take a break?

Oh I really enjoy talking to you about them! *w* We can both take a break though, no rush anyway <3

> Well if you do wanna watch it, you can rent it on you tube. It's my favourite versionnnn.

Of course if you get the chance to actually watch it ! Do!

I'm going to be keeping an eye on it, waiting for it to return, Andrew said that it should come back, so if it ever comes back to London, I will tell you just in case it co-alines with a time you could visit!

I know I want to see it againnn.

Awww that would be amazing, thanks! \(//∇//)\

> Ok! We can take a break heh, sorryy

But I'll see if I can find a picture of the oprea house and send it over!

It's alright! (ówò) I'll be looking forward to it *^*

@help-im-a-gay-fish OH wow!! \(//∇//)\ This is a great photo, "catching a moment" <3

He did a really good work at trying to make it as real as possible though *w*

> Me ans Jan found a night tour of the opera housessss I think we might goooo

*GASP* That's awwwsome! (〃ω〃)☆
