#toast discourse

Alright, I've had enough.

Let's settle this once and for all.

I don't draw babies often, so I went all out on the squishy cuteness haha

chappell roan's recent statement about parasocial relationships should really open the door to the conversation about how fandoms suffer from the exact same types of behaviors

if there's a very influential artist or member of a fandom it seems like people forget to treat them like a person. It's okay to like their art. It's okay to rally behind their takes or ship headcanons. It's not okay to practically worship the ground they walk on and shower them with constant praise.

On the other side of that coin I believe it's also up to those people with a decent amount of influence in fandom spaces to set boundaries when things start getting weird— especially in fandoms geared towards younger audiences. As an adult you shouldn't be relying on your dopamine hit of positive feedback from minors. You shouldn't be engaging with them in dms where there's a weird power dynamic if you know for a fact that they see you as some sort of higher figure of influence.

We all need to work on making parasocial relationships less common, both in regards to celebrities and in fandom spaces in general

Between calling John “my king” and Kayne “Nyarlathotep,” I’m afraid Yorick is 0 for 2 on deadnaming The Horrors 😔

alright I'm here to settle a debate today. what way do you put bread in the toaster, horizontal or vertical? I have included a visual guide in case anyone is confused. I need feedback because I fear I may have been making toast incorrectly for 17 years

Ever since discovering the gods gift that is toast, I like to have toast for breakfast every morning. There are dozens of great ways to have toast (butter, cream cheese, bruschetta, avocado, etc.) but it wouldn’t be my favorite if it wasn’t toast. I can eat it by itself and still enjoy it.

If I have time, I’ll cook a fresh batch or warm up some sausage or bacon to go with. Share little pieces of it with my pets. A nice treat for myself and others that I can’t always indulge in, but am not disheartened if I don’t get to.

Now, i’ve recently discovered how well toast pairs up with fruit. Keep in mind, I am very much a fruit lover, but until recently I hadn’t thought to have some with breakfast. Having toast and some fruit (like a banana or orange or apple or peach or mango or-) feels is my ultimate breakfast. You can have so many combinations of toast and fruit depending on how you prepare them, and when it’s thoughtfully done my day feels so much brighter and healthier for it. A multiplier for the day’s good will.

Now, if i forget to restock fruit, i feel its absence. Almost mourn it. But I know i can always get it later, and I haven’t forgotten what makes me like fruit with toast so much just because it’s not right in front of me this very second.

Figuring out my ideal breakfast was unplanned, but I’m happy I did. My life feels richer for it, even if it’s just this one little thing. And that’s enough. :)

So, in my adventures across various platforms, I started a journey on Bluesky. I found a discourse on the twitter post about waffles and pancakes (iykyk). One of the under comments listed how the communities of various platforms would process the waffle/pancake discourse. Someone under commented that with a take on how this beloved hellsite would handle it.

Thoughts?

Btw, I like pancakes, waffles, French toast, AND crepes.

man I sure love ignoring posts I disagree with when I don’t have the mental energy to appropriately & thoughtfully respond to them with my own opinion.

I really enjoy seeing something that makes me kinda mad and then checking myself to see if it’s gonna be too harmful to my mental health to engage in ✨discourse✨ with a rando on the internet at that moment.

As a side benefit, it also makes me unstoppable when I do engage bc I haven’t been keyboard warrior mode for three days straight, like that scene in dunmeshi where Laios beats up Shuro because he’s been eating well and Shuro hasn’t

mentioned fatoot samneh on reddit and have had a couple people responding saying it reminds them of matzoh brei and one person saying they were glad to see mizrahi cuisine mentioned outside of a jewish subreddit….reddit is like. the one place i don’t seek out jewish communities online because. well. i’m sure you can imagine especially in recent months lol, so my heart feels a little fuzzy rn

Not gonna lie, the height discourse is hilarious because I’m legit 5 feet tall. I can practically guarantee that regardless of what someone headcanons Sirius and Remus as, I would have to tilt my head to look them in the eye. And also, of all things to choose a hill to die on for, why are people picking the height of fictional characters?

i. don't. knoooooooow but it's comically infuriating, that hill. Also, very much same. I'm a bit taller, by like five inches or so, but still. Nearly everyone is taller than I am and I also don't care about that. The ONLY way their height matters at all to me is in like a humorous context. Like...give me a mild crack fic where one is so funnily short compared to the other that it's just all one struggling to reach a higher shelf, jumping up and down, and in comes the other just grabbing whatever the other needs with ease and small head pat of consolation which irritates the short one. I would gobble that thing up, but beyond that, I just don't care.

[jalattes]

It's so crazy how ppl will virtue signal about what is and isn't intentionally racist on the Racist App Of All Time. Like honestly if you actually cared you would probably not even be on Twitter (unless you love being miserable which is what i truly believe at this point)

[mitsmebinch]

I dont know if this was properly implied but some people literally light them on fire. I mean stick them in the fire, bring out what could ostensibly be used to light your way in catacomb. On. Fire. They are put out by running out of surface area to burn.

[itsambersworld]

Why is it that almost every time I log on to Twitter.com(I’m still calling it that idc), there’s some discourse about America?? Like we get it we do something’s differently bit it’s really not that big of a deal to constantly bitch about. At this point Americans must live rent free in your head since you keep mentioning them unprovoked.

The American discourse I saw today was literally about paper measurements of all things. Like really paper?? *in my Jill Robert’s voice* Shut the fuck up already! Ugh so annoying.

There are good ships and crack ships and ships that sail the seas but the best ships are friend ships and may they always be.

Okay but. You can very much explain why the beavers from Narnia had marmalade.

If you go back to the very first (chronological) book on the series, "The Magician's Nephew", when Aslan creates Narnia, you'll know that the very first King and Queen of Narnia are humans from our world - cab driver Frank and his wife Helen.

Frank is accidently pulled from the streets of victorian London alongside the main protagonists (and a broken lamp who will become THE lamp Lucy finds much later), and witnesses the birth of Narnia. By the end of the book he is crowned King by Aslan, who brings his wife to reign with him. Aslan then proclaims that humans (children of Adam and Eve) are to be the permanent rulers of Narnia - so Frank and Helen's descendants.

Given they are two perfectly ordinary, middle-lower class humans, it is very likely they have introduced British cuisine to Narnia. Helen was a housewife and would know how to cook and bake a lot of things - including how to make jam from scratch. I don't doubt these recipes have been passed down to their children and the generations to come, as well as the royal court (Helen probably taught everyone how to cook), and by extension, the rest of Narnia. She probably even wrote a cooking book to be kept in the royal kitchen.

That's why we see the dwarves and fauns and beavers and everyone else eat "human food" - most specifically, whatever typical English food was popular in the early 20th century.

And that's why the beavers have marmalade - all thanks to Queen Helen and her English customs :)

Fuck that post going around saying "you can have coffee in your story without justifying it :) you don't need to explain everything :)" I want, no, I DEMAND a fully researched ethnobotanical paper on every single food item in your work, if you don't explain to me where did potatoes come from in your fantasy setting or don't explain how the industry of coffee works over interstellar distances with full detail you are doing things wrong and I personally hate you and I hate your stupid story, fuck you
