#its disgusting and im sick of it

[inkskinned]

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

living for alhaitham's inherent curiosity about kaveh being the catalyst for an odd textual mystery...??

he already read the Very Bad novel in the house of daena before kaveh got hold of it? but then seeing it in their study and knowing kaveh must have checked it out, he... opened it anyway despite already knowing the contents?? 1) because he knew kaveh wouldn't mind, and 2) because he was curious what kaveh thought about it?? considering that he knows kaveh makes annotations in books??

he saw kaveh circle the killer's name in permanent ink, effectively spoiling the novel, no matter how terrible, and joined in by circling a name to create a red herring, but also because he thought circling names was funny <3

he put the book in the same place in the study and didn't say anything to kaveh when kaveh went to return it, and kaveh went about believing alhaitham knew nothing about it, until the quest comes full circle and kaveh returns to alhaitham to tell him the news, only to find out that he and alhaitham were jointly the instigators for the conspiracy.

the quest is THEIR fault!! but.. the conspiracy wouldn't have happened if alhaitham hadn't made the second circle,, so… if he hadn't been curious about something that occupied kaveh's time..., that’s so !!??

can i ask why ur getting the surgery? /gen curious /no hate

i am getting a bi(lateral)salp(ingectomy) bc i never want to be pregnant or be a parent!

Even if i do change my mind later about the parent thing (not super likely but things can change, sure) theres noooo shortage of single parents lmao

And even if I never End Up In The Circumstance(s) Where I COULD Become Pregnant in my life, I'd want the peace of mind anyway...

I've always felt disgusted that this is something my body is capable of. I want it to be MY body and not a site and vessel for potential tragedy in any direction. And I want it to be something permanent and not dependent on access to services/medicines or even laws!!! Dis is a gender affirming surgery for me honestly...

crimson stains and secret blushes.

character: isagi yoichi x reader

"what is it?" yoichi asks with a soft and lovestruck smile plastered. you chuckle yet again, neglecting his question. his voice so gentle, so low, so delicate, only for you to hear in the closed room. he asks one more time with a whine. arms circling tighter around your waist as he has you situated on his lap. his breath ticklish against your neck.

you cup his face, thumb caressing at the corner of his lips, "i forgot i had lipstick on." you brush your thumb against the stain in an attempt to wipe it. he stops you however. grabbing your wrist, placing a kiss there as he tells you he doesn't mind and that it's just the two of you.

so you kiss him and you kiss him again. his lips with a prominent shade of red now and a lingering stain to his cheek. it also gets smudged around your lips more and more as he kisses you.

im sick pls help

urgently when his mates called him to meet for not-so-urgent reasons, he kept facing down and away— desperately trying to rub off the two lipstick marks without making it look obvious. while his friends laugh and call him out for the poor attempt, further making fun of him.

The fact I didn't tag a post were I said the ship name as Zutara and not Antizutara and yall got really bitter about that proves my point. "Tag your posts right" and "old enough to know it's anti Zutara tag" are yall good ? Are yall okay? If the post it's self starts of by hey this is a post about Zutara and Kataang. And I tag it with Zutara and Kataang where I talk about how it's weird that katara not wanting aang harmed is called "motherly" and how ppl argue more about Zutara being endgame than realizing like I said fucking weird to go to Kataang and say she's a mother to him...then giving an example of a moment where katara cares about him is like...yall even get bitter about anyone just being like how about not bring mother and child weird ass couple dynamics when you talk about ships...like don't drag kids into a bitter argument.. and yall focusing more on the fact I didn't tag it as Antizutara....

this point has probably been made before but I find it so funny, sad and exhausting that there are leftists who will gladly proclaim to be anti capitalist and talk about how exploitative labour is under capitalism while being "pro sex work" and viewing it as ✨empowering✨

what's more pro capitalist and exploitative than someone selling themselves as if their body was a product? treating something intimate that people share like it's a service you can buy

me watching girls who justify themselves with feminism hate on men just for breathing too loud near them i'm sorry, isn't feminism supposed to be advocating for equality among the genders??? how are you achieving feminism by villainizing and attacking men? do you think that makes it okay because they were born a man? edit: yes, i acknowledge many girls are angry over the mistreatment by men, and i am not saying their experiences are invalid. i'm saying attacking men who've done nothing wrong is horrible. putting them in the same level as men who've actually hurt women is cruel. i'm saying believing that one gender should be superior over the other is just plain bad, or that men only want one thing or that they are inherently horrible people is absolute shit.

society if the leafs had a proper dcore and 1634 could play together without the rest of the lineup being a liability

[peridyke]

look you can disagree with me here I guess but I don't really care about strategy because the idea of giving biden the metaphorical thumbs up by voting for him after months and months of seeing stories about innocent people being slaughtered en masse under his watch makes me want to puke my guts out. I don't think anything really matters more to me than his complicitness in the palestinian genocide and I don't think I could live with myself if I showed any form of support for him. honestly ill be real I think condescending to people telling them they still have to strategically vote for him after we have all seen some of the most horrific footage of bloody cold hearted genocide under his watch for the last 7 months makes you a bit of a monster frankly. I know about the senate I know about the house I know about the importance of getting blue seats filled but at this point I really don't give a fuck because I am seeing videos of starved babies and dead children and people grieving the slaughter of their beloved family and friends and its his fucking fault. I know you would be singing a different tune if you had any tangible connection to palestine so the least you could do is have some fucking empathy. fuck off

cringe culture isnt dead (yet), we've just mildly expanded the amount of things that arent considered cringe anymore (largely because they're old enough that they can be viewed as nostalgic now) and have created a blurred line on which if you enjoy that media there has be a certain number of layers of irony involved for you not to be considered cringe. fucking exhausting.
