#this is the greatest thing since sliced bread

[goodmorninglovelies42]

What if I added some magical realism and de-aged Jamie for a fic and Roy has to be soft with him, because he’s a child, and when whatever magic wears off, and he’s an adult again, Roy doesn’t know what to do with all those soft feelings? What then?

So if someone from Rosea traveled far away enough from Rosea and went to some foreign kingdom's bar and was like "Gee wiz, that Luceris is the greatest thing to happen sliced bread!", everyone in that bar would think the person is already extremely drunk because no one in that bar would ever think that?

If they went to Norazaan then yeah the people would be like

Vesphire is a 50/50 you never know who will agree with that guy and who won't lol.

I really don't understand the KHII people--I say as someone who was one of them for a little bit, right after KHII came out (in riding that hype train), but then sort of quickly realized that: no wait. I think I actually do still prefer the first one--and I probably never will.

Like, KHII's a good game (part of me wanted to say "fine, I guess"--as I see more flaws in it [and all of the series/everything] as I get older and time goes on--but I refrained), but why is there such a cult around this game in the series in particular and not the others?

I know a lot of it is because a lot of people say the gameplay in KHIIFM is the best in the series, and that's probably true. But even then.

Some people really love this game's story and whatnot the best (also, some of the characterizations). I really don't (except for the Roxas prologue), and don't see how you can, but to each their own.

I think a large part of it probably has to do with the fact that this was the majority of most of the fans' first game in the series... right?

It's interesting how in both asoiaf/got and f& b/hotd, the Targ stans have a problem with characters who don't simply appease their faves. Alicent is a scheming bitch because she fights for her son's claim and wants to protect her children from being killed. Sansa is Cersei 2.0 because she doesn't want to surrender a free and independent North to a stranger who threatens her family. They want everyone else to bend to their will and allow their Targ faves to walk all over them.

So its been about 3 years or so since i woke up in a hole no knowledge of anything or how it happened, thrown into the horrible horrible world (well, more like a cave) but surrounded by cute little lizard thingies that called themselves Kobolds.

Long story short, suddenly me (greatest thing since sliced bread) and the other champs that stuck with me, went on a scouting mission to another continent that WOULDN'T YOU KNOW after months of being lost as shit and ending up being different clans mules on their errands, we gotta kill a fucking demon king whatever that wants to kill everyone and basically fucked our pussies (except mine, i NEVER lose, ignore whoever tells you i got my ass beat) and we barely made it out alive and we SMASHED its head like an orange.

Aparently we got some godly weapon that can kill gods out of it, or at least HALF a weapon... We are missing 2/4 parts for it and its basically THE weapon to kill big stuff, not like i need it, my 2 built in babies *kisses muscles* could deal with any stupid god any day.

Anyways some of us became demi-gods aparently? Im my own god so i was already miles ahead from them 💅 they do look pretty fucking cool and got some bomb ass powers.

Now we are kinda stuck and we got nothing going on, may go shopping to spend all the "hero of the world" money to being back to my 848728382 Kobolds and someone special.....

ANYWAYS thats about it for today, i need some painkillers, or booze, or both, i think my ribs are still broken. BUT NOT MY SPIRIT (Ow my chest)

I may tell u more about the last 3 years if any of u want, or not. You'l have to see xoxo

Signed.

Sketches of Buggy the Hisuian Zorua. He is featured in my fic, Friends From Odd Places, as one of Emmet’s Pokémon. He drools constantly, only had half his teeth, bites everyone, can’t focus eyes in the same direction, and can’t attack to save his life.

A true nasty boy.

I may color later on (that horrible orange dye job Melli gave him). We shall see.

I'm looking at an Atlas Obscura article. Basically, in 1943, as part of the rationing of food and consumer goods for the war effort, the Secretary of Agriculture declared a ban on sliced bread, hoping to save waxed paper (because sliced bread had to be wrapped in more paper than plain loaves) and steel (used in slicing machines). Which is mildly interesting. But the article finally answers a burning question: since people say a novelty is "the greatest thing since sliced bread", what was sliced bread the greatest thing since?

Turns out it was wrapped bread!

On July 7, 1928, the Chillicothe Baking Company in Missouri first put [Otto Frederick Rohwedder's] invention to use, saying it was “the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped.”

"Izzy?" Stede softly calls, bringing his hands together as he approaches the other. "I, um, I was wondering if you would, um... o-or if I could, um..." Oh he's nervous. The way he's fidgeting with his hands, tripping over his words, looking down every so often. Why was he so nervous? He doesn't expect the answer to be something negative, considering how much time they've already been spending together during just the first week they've met. "Well, I... I know we've had breakfast and lunch together and we've been spending time in each other's apartments, but I'd really like to..." Oh, just ask it Bonnet! "I... I'd really like to take you to dinner." His heart is racing. "O-on a, um... on a date." And there it is. Finally. He takes in a deep breath and holds it. "Will you go out with me?" (For Modern Izzy because I had feels <3 )

It might have been surprising as it was even to Izzy, but he hadn’t slept with Stede. That was difficult. Honestly, the baker didn’t know how he had done it except his own desire for commitment and fear that it still, even with all the emotion, could be one and done. Izzy kept himself extremely guarded with emotions, especially after his last attempt at a serious relationship. Since then, and even in detriment to his own soul, he’d simply engaged in heartless fucking. If he saw a pretty young thing on the street that said he’d slept with him? He most likely didn’t know. Their faces blurred together and he was never really looking at them anyway. Tawdry sex was tawdry sex.

It was what made Bonnet so special. He’d refused to sleep with him and not without the blonde’s lack of trying. Good god was the awkward writer drooling for him. It took a lot of strength to deny that, but he had. Izzy just wanted to see if Stede really would be jnto it for the long haul. So far, it seemed he was.

Another long day at the bakery was upon him and he certainly didn’t expect to see him show up. They didn’t have anything planned. But then there he was, squirming like he had ants in his pants. “ .. yes? “ He was already smiling. He always smiled when he was around. Hell, he glowed. Was he — oh wow. Izzy simply went from slightly amused at his nervousness to complete awe. This beautiful and ridiculous man just formally asked him on a date. It wasn’t even time for either of them to be off work, but here Stede was, utterly adorable.

So it took a few moments for the utter shock to wear off. Roach and Frenchie were listening in and watching from the back, even as Izzy started to turn a spectacular shade of red. He hadn’t felt.. flushed, in a long time. He was taken aback by it all, but then he realized he was simply in a sort of daze, only after Frenchie loudly cleared his throat to snap him out of it. Was this what it was like to be utterly obsessed with someone? To have your heart flutter at the mere sight and idea? Because his was going a mile a minute.

Finally he managed that warm smile. Chin tucked to his chest, eyes looked up bashfully through lashes. It was a fucking miracle when the baker actually felt bashful, but with Stede this was brand new and exciting territory. “ I’d love to go out dinner with you.. “ Maybe he said it a bit too eagerly, fawning over him in that moment. “ Really. “ He reassured, reaching out from behind the counter to put a hand on his and squeeze with a soft laugh. “ There’s nothing else I want in this world than to go out on a date with you.. “ Maybe he showed his cards a bit too much then, but gods was it true. He wanted to be romanced and Stede did such a magnificent job of doing just that.

Children as young as 6, working 12 hour days digging by hand, receiving $1 a day…think about it before you purchase your next laptop/electric vehicle

Free Congo🇨🇩 & end consumerism and wasteful consumption.

Apple Hub (not affiliated with Apple Official, but their account is influencial/popular among Apple users-adding this for context [01/07/24.]. They posted this a few days ago -it's about 2 different phone models (for fucking display changes).

Apple has been hyper-exploiting people in the Global South to mine for resources to make their products for YEARS, and I need more people to stop buying (unless necessity requires it -I waited 7-8 years before I had to change my phone, and next time I do it'll be a refurbished one) -until these entire systems are dismantled and made to be be ethical in every aspect of their businesses and not just on paper, boycott them.

I also know that Apple will change one spec and advertise like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, so to speak -and this cult-following just eats this up time and again. If you're not already informed about this inherently violent and corrupt industry -then get to know. And stop supporting these companies.

Guys…. Why are they making One Piece, one of the greatest stories of all time, live action?

IS NOTHING SACRED?!

[homunculus-argument]

A sweet slice of life series about some former byronic anti-hero who just managed to finally complete their all-consuming revenge quest, and is now just sitting there like "ok, now what." When you've spent seven years of your life training to fight, just to kill this one guy, and then worked ever since to infiltrate an organisation to raise in its ranks for the sole goal of getting close enough to the target to kill them, and the moment is finally over and everything you've worked for is finally complete, and you didn't die trying like you gambled that you might, there's still life left.

And it's all about this former warrior hero just awkwardly gingerly trying to learn how to build a normal life. There isn't one to go back to, the villain whose end they dedicated their life to killed the protagonist's family and burned down their village, they've got to start from scratch now. And the audience learns about their past life through the way they suddenly remember how things used to be, and how long it's been since they've last done something ordinary.

Frequently making observations like "damn, I shouldn't have made a deal with that entity to trade their ability to always know someone's greatest weakness, in exchange of my memory of how to bake bread", or discovering that their cursed weapon of Kill Everything You Touch can also be used to sanitise jam jars.
