The Rosho Special☆ Cream of the Crop Curry: Hypmic Curry Drama Track TL

Sasara: Oh, you’ve really been cookin’!

Rei: That curry smell is really making me hungry!

Rosho: It’s a miracle I was able to even decipher what you meant in that text! Why am I the only one working on this??

Sasara: Don’t sweat the small stuff! Have you finished making our super interesting curry yet?

Rosho: I did my best to follow your recipe but…

Rei: Hm? You didn’t make a normal curry?

Sasara: Tut tut tut! You see, this curry was made with some special ingredients!

Rei: It looks brown like any other curry, so I can’t tell the difference.

Sasara: I’ll give you a hint! I was thinking of calling it, "This Curry's Got You Gigged!!" Setting off any bells??

Rei: You can’t be thing about… Actually, no, that hint was so stupid, I got nothing for you.

Sasara: Hey now!!

Rosho: I used flounder in the curry, but if you can’t tell that at a glance, that’s gotta mean your joke’s fallen flat, right?

Rei: The curry’s meant sell, so it should have a little more impact.

Sasara: I guess you’re right… It’s gotta be appealing televised too…

Rosho: Let’s take a moment to brainstorm.

-----------

Sasara: *pops a cold one open* Man, nothing’s coming to mind at all…!

Rei: The theme you had settled on was, “A Bizarre Brown Curry,” right?

Rosho: We shouldn’t even try to be teeming with themes! It’s all about the flavours!!

Sasara: “Okra-zy Curry” doesn’t sound too bad!

Rosho: Okra me a river!!

Rei: How about “Kelp!! Addicted to Seaweed Curry”?

Rosho: Oh, now you’re just sailing on his coattails!

Sasasa: “Ya Kraken Me Up Squid Curry”!!

Rosho: Quit it with the seafood puns!! Geez, you’re not even trying to solve the root of the problem.

Sasara: Nyahaha…! No, yeah, you’re right.

Rei: But curry’s just curry, isn’t it? How can you even get someone to give a laugh at it at just a glance?

Rosho: How many times do I gotta say, that’s why we’re sittin’ around thinkin’ about it!!

Sasara: I think the alcohol’s getting to us~ Let’s get some food down, so we can sober up.

Rei: I agree. I’d like one order of flounder curry with rice!

Rosho: You takin’ my home as an izakaya?? Serve your own curry!!

Sasara: Phew whee, Mista Rosho here sure is stingy!

Rei: Well, sounds like I got no other choice.

---------------

Rei: Hey, so this is getting annoying to handle, you mind if I use this whole pot?

Sasara: Rosho, whatcha want me to do with this bag?

Rosho: Shut up, the both of you!! For now, just bring everything to me.

Rei: And there. Rice is served~

Sasara: And here’s a bit of the curry to top it off!

Rosho: Oh yeah, we’re using this too!

Sasara: “A White Stew for Rice”? You brought out some boil in bag goods you had bagged up?

Rosho: A student of mine gave it to me as a souvenir from a Hokkaido trip. It apparently has some Hokkaido specialties in it.

Rei: Their milk is incredibly tasty. And so… *pours it in*

Rosho: Hey!!!! What the heck are you doing??

Rei: This is my specialty, “Stew On This Rice”!

Rosho: The bag wasn’t even boiled yet… I guess I’ll stick it in the microwave.

Sasara: Wait a sec!

Rosho: What are you making that serious face for?

Sasara: If it’s cream… How does “Cream Of The Crop Curry” sound??

Rei: Ohhh, we are aiming for something eye-catching but… Wait, actually, this might work.

Rosho: It’s more of a stew though…

Sasara: Let’s have a taste test first!

*microwave dings*

DH: *eats*

Sasara: Woah??? This creamy stew and rice pair together so well!!

Rei: And this white colour gives it quite the impact.

Sasara: This is it! This is the curry that’s going to carry Dotsuitare Hompo to victory!

Rosho: But this isn’t curry?? What do you mean we’re going to use a stew??

Rei: Why’re you fussing? All we have to do is say we made a white curry.

Rosho: Then how do you explain how we made it??

Rei: White curry does exist, you know. There are spices for it and everything. Curry connoisseurs would be familiar with it.

Sasara: Is that so?? Well, there you have it, Rosho! I’ll let you figure out what those spices are!

Rosho: No, you won’t!! Shouldn’t we all be trying to figure this out??

Rei: Ahaha! I believe you’ll figure it out somehow.

Sasara: Alright! “The Rosho Special☆ Cream of The Crop Curry” is definitely going to take us to the top!!

firewatch au is an interesting story because mumbo is such an omnipresent non-character. it doesn't matter if i characterize him correctly or not, because his character isn't ever present to exert change in the story. the only thing that does matter is grian's rosy, absence-defined ideals about who his best friend was. every single thing we learn about mumbo is filtered through like 12 different layers of love and grief and denial until he's on a pedestal so high nobody can see the truth. his character is almost solely defined by what someone else says about him.

in doing this, grian also inadvertantly strips away all the little mistakes and mishaps that are part of mumbo's agency and part of him being a real person until he's perfect. and all this idolization ends up making it worse for grian in the end, because he actively avoids engaging in any theories that suggest mumbo might have made a mistake or gone astray. there's clear dissonance between reality—grian knows mumbo got lost and is searching for him—and the way grian lashes out at anyone who suggests something that clashes with the perfect ideal of mumbo in his head, including getting lost. mumbo should be a character in his own story, but grian won't let him be.

instead he wraps his desire to find mumbo into a weird sort of side quest where he's just as interested in finding someone else to blame as he is finding mumbo. he spends the same amount of time trying to figure out exactly where it all went wrong during the search as he does actually searching for mumbo—even after he knows the general area mumbo was last in! it's a puzzle and he can't put anything to rest until he solves it. he's trying to force logic into everything so he can cope with it. because if he doesn't find someone or something to blame, then he has to face the reality that sometimes things just don't make sense. if it makes sense, he can solve it and fix it. if it doesn't make sense...then he just has to live with it, and he doesn't think he can.

Still packing stuff and now i'm looking for a box for this.

My dad and i made it a few years ago for halloween, probably 2015/16 if i'm remembering right. It's made from a lays can, a wipes container from his work, and paper maché. I don't remember what the wires and front metal bits are from, but the middle actually lights up! It has one of those long battery-powered emergancy lights in it and some colored tissue paper

Have you heard the theory that Tim hallucinated Jason attacking him in the Tower? I dont remember much of the evidence folks had for it, but it would make the “Tim has major beef but Jason has no idea who he is” thing so much funnier if the Horrible Trauma that Tim’s stans always harp about never even happened

Now you couldn't mean this post by any chance could you? Or is there another post floating about - probably is but yes I do actually love this theory bc there's alot of evidence to back it up like how it doesn't make sense timeline wise - how Jason never mentions Tim in the whole of under the red hood - the odd things the titans say and how Tim is known to hallucination / have weird dreams - how Jason is acting weird including somehow hiding a whole other outfit under his first outfit - it all seems very dream state more then something that actually happened

about 无限流 recs: not really the most typical example of the genre and in a very different flavour to liehuo's interrogation of the same question but 《我的理想小镇》 has things to say about what it means to be human (and what it means to give that up)

I HAVE ANONS THAT READ 无限流???

ok so I am VERY intrigued by this recommendation, especially since I read 《魔尊也想知道》 by the same author and enjoyed it! for a 沙雕文 it had a lot more fun (meta)narrative-based worldbuilding than I expected, so I'm curious to see what this author will do with a more intensive genre like 无限流

mark me intrigued anon 👀 👀 👀

HOW OLD ARE YOU !! just wondering if you'd be cool with being friends with a 19 year old (she/they pronouns for me btw) if not thats ok no pressure !!!!

Be sure to drink water & munch when you can!! You deserve it !!

Hai anon !!

Age wise... simply a mystery. Old enough to know what CDs are not old enough to have met George Washington. Surely that narrows it down a bit for you.

Realtalk though I'm cool w being friends with whoever! :3 I honestly don't age check much, if at all. For all I know someone over here could secretly be 60 and I would be blissfully unaware. Such is the way of the world at times.

the results of that "is fanfic a book" poll have shown me one thing and its that this site never graduated past that absolutely insufferable phase in 2013 where everyone acted like every book is the single most sacred thing on earth

[t-lostinworlds]

this might be mean to say, but why do i get the feeling that some readers have this sense of entitlement when criticizing a piece of work, especially when it comes to fanfiction. like, you just know that they haven't written a thing in their life and have only consumed consumed consumed and have no idea how much work and effort it actually takes to write a story and how much courage it takes to share with the world for free.

writing fanfiction is a hobby for most. it can be an escapism or a way for writers to express, process, and cope with their feelings. or simply just put these characters in silly situations for fun. so if you're going to go on a fanfiction and be all "this is not how i would do it," or "i can't relate to this" or essentially just saying "this doesn't cater to me so i don't like it and i will make that known to youm writer" then maybe it just isn't for you and you need to move along and find something else that you like. or if you want a story to go exactly how you want it to beat for beat then, idk, maybe write it yourself?

ok you’ve convinced me to watch bsd so where can I watch it? and do I need to read the comics? if so, in what order and where can I read them?

EEK OMG YAY! okay so one thing about me im a little student girlie #ihaventboughtmilkinaweek so i will always consume media the free way lmao. the site i read the bsd manga on is 'bsdmanga.com' which seems very legit but does also do pop ups a lot for me so just make sure you've got an adblock going. if you want to properly buy them though ive seen bsd being sold in almost every waterstones! as for the anime, the sub and dub were both free on crunchyroll AND funimation back when i first started watching it, but not anymore bc everything is awful. the main less-legit site i use for anime is 'animesuge' and that has it there :)

It's very strange being constantly doubted as to whether you are real. I don't like blame my host or anything, and her existential thoughts are really interesting, but it's still kind of funny. I don't even know if I'm real, but that strays into the territory of 'does consciousness even exist?'

Anyways, glad I have the philosophy of not caring about what's "real" and "not real" and just experiencing life. My host has a bit of that in relation to her alterhuman identity and other stuff, but still has the need to understand everything (also her constantly doubting whether I'm real when the body was typing this in was kind of funny. humour is a thing i use a lot loooool)
