im actually so sad over how xavi has been treated these last couple of days like the club went from begging him to stay just to discard him some weeks later. can’t imagine how xavi is feeling right now knowing that he did his best for the club of his life and they’re just throwing him away like he’s nothing. i hope he knows how loved he is by the supporters and i can’t thank him enough for last season 💔 he deserved a better ending than this.

whos ur mdzs blorbo (if u say anyone but jiang cheng youre wrong /JOKE)
not to be an Extremely Basic Bitch but Wei Wuxian. in my defense gotta LOVE me any character who is doing basic physics research and you cannot tell me that the development of demonic cultivation is not basic physics research in any given story I am going to be most obsessed with the character who is closest to doing theoretical physics in that setting bc most often nobody gives a fuck about the physics of their world in the main story even!! though!! it!! would!! be!! really!! cool!! magic!! physics!! that!! I!! want!! to!! know!! about!! and yes I understand the author set out to tell a story not to do fundamental physics but the physics of it will haunt me. I can and will kill on the hill that Wei Wuxian does magic physics and he does it Really Fucking Well and that is the thing I care most about in the world
but also
I am generally Bad At Cooking. I got better at cooking towards the end of grad school! but at the beginning of grad school I was actually cooking all my own food for the first time and was Bad At It and what's worse is that I was so tight on time that I'd almost always bulk cook for the whole week which meant that if I fucked up a recipe I had to eat it for lunch and dinner for like six days straight
until I discovered. the single best cooking hack. in the world.
you see, I like spicy. and I'm a vegetarian have been for forever and vegetarian bulk meals are like. "pasta and vegetables" "beans and rice and vegetables" etc etc. which and it turns out. that if you fuck up trying to make something. without altering the texture and having to redo anything bc it's totally possible to do it at the very end you can just dump an ungodly amount of red pepper flakes and/or cayenne pepper powder in and now it does not taste Bad, it simply tastes Spicy, and for me, that tastes Good
I proceeded to use this trick with everything. including when my coffee beans got really old and stale bc bought those in bulk too. simply throw red pepper flakes in to the ground beans before you drip brew it and now it's spicy coffee instead of stale coffee!
anyways I eventually became A Better Cook and Started To Make Food That Is Spicy But You Can Actually Like. Taste Other Flavors. miss Spicy Coffee tho, wish I had the time to brew my own coffee again.
fast forward to like. a month ago.
I discovered about a month ago lo and behold that I Do Slightly Better life-wise if I Actually Eat Breakfast before running out the door even though it's like 6:45am and I'm not that hungry. and I had a bunch of old fancy farmer's market granola from like two years ago that was about to expire so I started eating that with some greek yogurt. but it was a small bag and I was about to run out. so I bugged housemate-partner-who-is-a-good-cook-my-beloved of would he consider helping make me a shit-ton of homemade bulk granola, I'd grab the ingredients and we could figure it out as we went along
except the thing is he Hates cooking by Vibes instead of A Recipe it Stresses Him Out So Much bc he is not used to people with the attitude of "eh if I fuck around I find out that is the deal I make with the universe I'll still eat it" he is used to people with the attitude of "if it's fucked up I am physically incapable of eating this"
so I. jokingly. as he expressed some Worry about "do we REALLY need to cook this by Vibes? can we Please find a granola recipe??" went "hey don't worry!! if it comes out Absolutely Terrible we can just use my old trick from grad school of throwing enough cayenne pepper into it that it just takes Spicy instead of Bad!" the joke being that like. spicy granola in yogurt that is a CRIME hell spicy granola is a crime who ever heard of spicy granola
.............except I was. really curious.
so the next morning I tried sticking some red pepper flakes so the texture wouldn't be disgusting into my granola and yogurt, I am nothing if not a caricature of myself, I live by the primary tenet of "commit to the bit" there did not exist a world in which once I had set forth that bit I would not Commit to it.
and it was delicious????? like it was weird Spicy Surprise but it was delicious. No Bit I Just Legitimately Like Spicy Granola Apparently With Or Without Yogurt.
so I Decided that let's not even wait for us to Potentially Fuck Up The Granola Recipe let's just put 3/4ths of a full shaker of red pepper flakes into it for Funnsies. because that's a reasonable amount of red pepper flakes, right? there's a lot of granola I want to make sure that there's a hint of spice in every bite!
out came a gallon and a half of Crimes Granola. the red pepper flakes got into the coconut oil so every single bite of it is infused with a huge amount of spice it is FUCKING DELICIOUS and to absolutely every single person in my house who have Nowhere Near My Spice Tolerance even the one who Likes Reasonably Spicy Things it is Totally Inedible I make a three month supply of booby-trapped granola that I and I alone can eat
anyways.
like two days later I proceeded to have an existential crisis about the fact that I'd made granola that I was the only person I knew who would like it, except also, Wei Wuxian would probably like it.
so yeah he's my fave.

Look at my gems, boy
I know I'm mostly a specbio account these days, but I felt like drawing some other guys of mine. These four are my hnk ocs that live on the moon because you can't just make a bunch of gems without putting some of them up there! I'll put some info about them too, for funsies.
So my hnk story takes place mostly on a volcanic island and is about what happens when some gems are separated from their normal society and try to start their own. These guys all live on the moon but have their connections to earth too.
Biphosphammite / 1.5 / Was born and taken from the volcanic island before anyone else set foot on it, and they were used in several experiments about inclusion behavior. After that, they were allowed to live on the moon and they quite like it, but they wonder what they're missing out on back on earth.
Pallasite / 5ish / Had a different identity back on earth, but they were kidnapped and offered a way to save themself if they agreed to help take more gems. They were repaired with a meteorite that landed on the moon and took its name and appearance. They don't like their new job and frequently sneak down to the volcanic island to hang out, but just as frequently are they taken back to work.
Stishovite / 7ish / Was once a quartz born on the volcanic island but got caught up in an accident that left their body a mix of glassy impact debris and without any memories. They became friends with Pallasite during one of their visits to the volcanic island and followed them to the moon once. They're having fun but they're kind of clueless about what's actually going on with anyone.
Salt & Pepper Diamond / 10ish / A diamond who washed up on the shores of the canon island missing legs, arms and half of their head. They were told that they were born this way, but they frequently had dreams about having them stolen and became unsure. They were taken to the moon by Pallasite but agreed to switch sides to buy themself more time to figure out what happened to them.
