still the funniest plot point in all of pmmm that Homura Akemi is a 14 year old magical girl who realized that her sparkly transformation sequence did not come with a cutesy custom weapon like everyone else's so she just went online and googled "how to build a bomb"

#and so now everyone else is fighting with bespoke magical thematically-and-aesthetically significant #swords and spears and elegant floral bows that shoot magic light arrows #and Homura is standing right next to them and pulls out a very real and non-magical glock. that she stole with time magic #madoka magica

10 tips for casual elegance ⋆｡𖦹 °✩

Reading. Reading. Reading. Being well-read is so valuable!! Get cosy, pick up a Jane Austen, Emily Brontë, or maybe a Charles Dickens and spend some of your free time indulging in literature. <3

Soft-spoken and kind expressions. No one likes being around rude people. Being a bitch doesn’t make you look confident. Instead, be kind, make conversation, pay attention, engage, etc… trust me.

Dainty jewellery. Find some high-quality signature pieces.

Think before you speak. Take a moment to reflect on your thoughts so you can speak confidently and with intent without stumbling over your words!! <3

Quality over quantity. Stop buying large amounts of cheap clothing; instead, save up and invest in higher-quality pieces that will actually last you. :)

Practice your handwriting. Having pretty and neat handwriting is a lovely little detail; extra points if you write in cursive. ;)

Drop the tiktok slag. “sticking out your gyat for the rizzler”… just stop, please.

Keep to yourself. Small circle, no bragging, gossips only with the closest, keep your plans to yourself.

Watch your posture. Straighten that back, honey. I see you. :))

Manicured nails. I do mine every two weeks. Almond-shaped, always dark red. <3

As always, Please feel free to add your own suggestions and tips in the comments!! ♡ ₊ ⊹

Crispy Chicken Tenders with Béchamel Sauce

Ingredients:

Chicken Tenders:

1 pound chicken tenders

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup breadcrumbs or panko

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying

Seasoned French Fries:

2 large russet potatoes, cut into fries

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Béchamel Sauce:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

Salt and pepper to taste

A pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken Tenders:

In one bowl, place the flour seasoned with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

In a second bowl, have the beaten eggs.

In a third bowl, have the breadcrumbs.

Dredge each chicken tender first in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and fry the chicken tenders until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Bake the French Fries:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Toss the cut fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Spread out the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crispy, flipping halfway through.

Make the Béchamel Sauce:

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture is pale yellow and bubbly.

Gradually whisk in the milk, and continue to cook, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Cook for an additional minute and remove from heat.

Serve:

Arrange the chicken tenders and French fries on a plate.
