“Both affairs actually start from the rice cooker, which was a new invention from Japan. Maggie’s husband bought her one. Tony then asked the husband to get one for his wife, because she was tired of being a housewife — she wanted to work, and the rice cooker would release her from the kitchen. When he buys her the rice cooker, that’s the beginning of their affair, which eventually kicks off the affair between Tony and Maggie.

To me, the rice cooker was the most important invention in Asia to help liberate women, because they no longer had to tend so much to the cooking. That and instant noodles completely changed the lifestyles of Asian people.”

a warm up from yesterday :)

everyone else might already know this but i just think it’s funny that canonically The Cage takes place in 2254, so over 10 years before the start of Kirks first 5 year mission as captain. while SNW takes place around 2258-2260

(with the reveal of Carol Marcus being pregnant it would make most sense for it to be 2259 seeing as TSFS takes place in 2285, which would make David Marcus 25 at the time that movie takes place)

anyways, then the beginning of TOS is in 2265, and here’s a visual representation of why i find that funny (using spock as an example because he’s my favorite)

Spock and Pike circa 2254

Spock and Pike circa ~2258

and then back to Spock looking like this in TOS circa 2265 (Where No Man Has Gone Before was the second pilot but The Man Trap aired first so idk which takes place first in canon so here’s both)

also i know most people are probably just gonna ignore it but i would love to see an in-universe explanation for why the hair and clothing styles changed so much between snw and tos.

the secret ninjago truth is that lloyd isn’t actually an anime protagonist, kai was the traditional anime protagonist and got usurped by lloyd, a comic book protagonist

this was my 80s fit btw. got pushed into the dance circle so i had to do the Classic Worm but i jammed my belt buckle into my bowels and almost shit myself on the spot

personal kyoya headcanon - he secretly enjoys photography and takes way more pictures outside of club merchandise and they never see the light of day… lots of candids of the club…

Which was your bisexual awakening movie: the princess bride or the mummy?

the amount of csa warnings I have on this list...

Danny Elfman is somehow 10 different people. In this essay I will...

similar to the greentext stuff - i was visiting with my neighbors and their grandkids were around, and I said to this eight year old, "Hey, you wanna know something cool? I was playing the game when the Endermen came out." and his eyes went wide, like this kid looked like i told him i landed on the moon. His grandma thought it was really funny, and she said she has no idea what i'm talking about, but her grandbabies do, and that's incredible to her.

oh that's fun lmao, when minecraft & that update's existed for more than your whole life, and yknow being that young and like Next Year fr is this huge time scale away, a couple of years is a quarter of your life thus far and like maybe nigh half of the part of your life you actually have longterm memories for....i was checking out this dev's blog's archives about a:tdd's release in 2010 & in one entry they compared the implicitly Roughly concurrent release of Minecraft and i was like hey whoah. forever primarily being a game i've Heard Of more than any more direct exposure so i had no precise sense of [before minecraft release] [after minecraft release] Year 0 there but it's like for sure back in thee day when minecraft was a new thing, huh

Open || Big Celebration

Birthdays are not something that are generally celebrated among the Lan. However, unusually old age is and that is something Lan Qiren has reached, or rather will reach in some time, and the clan is preparing the celebration. In some time, he will be 130 years old and he has no plans on dying yet. It is true that he has gotten physically weaker (skin wrinkled, hair mostly white and less body mass than his younger years), but his back is still straight and his golden core stronger than ever. He might have relinquished some of his duties, but he is still teaching, and he does take daily naps during mid-day, but anyone calling Lan Qiren frail, senile or the like will soon regret it, even if he has grown more lenient and less strict in hiding his emotions.

Currently, he is enjoying some tea while reading a new book of poetry when someone dares to interrupt him. "If you are here to talk about my upcoming celebration, I'm asking you to leave. If it were up to me, this whole thing would be cancelled," he says, without looking up to see who it is.
