Best Wells in Tears of the Kingdom #4

The Popla Foothills South Well is hidden in a small alcove of land along the shore of the lake south of the waterlogged ruins of Deya Village. Most players will discover this well in the process of activating the nearby Skyview Tower, which requires Link to enter the Popla Foothills Excavation Site to free Elmerson, the technician in charge of maintaining the towers.

This well is one of the many secret bases of a traveling chef named Aurie Taamu. Aurie Taamu’s specialty is experimenting with ingredients to achieve special effects in cooking. In the notebooks he’s left underground, Aurie Taamu describes dishes used to create resistance against extreme temperatures, as well as dishes that grant weather-related attack boosts. The notebook in the Popla Foothills South Well details ingredients that create a glow-in-the-dark effect that’s useful for Link’s exploration of the Depths.

Along with these notebooks, Aurie Taamu is also the author of the textbooks used in Ashai’s cooking class in Gerudo Town. This is where things get interesting! If you become close to Cara, Isha’s apprentice at the Starlight Memories Jewelry Shop, she’ll tell you that Isha and Ashai were once in a love triangle with Aurie Taamu.

This makes the text of his notebook in the southern Popla Foothills well all the more intriguing: “The road of a gourmand is fraught with thorns. It’s why I choose to travel alone. This life does have its share of lonely nights. That’s when you need to shine a light to keep the darkness at bay.”

Perhaps because of the mistakes he made in the past, Aurie Taamu is able to close his meditations on life, love, and cooking by offering a solid piece of advice. “There is no shame in not knowing,” he writes, “for beyond that lies the joy of knowing.”

i love jean valjean so much i could drown in my own tears

that river scene in the original willy wonka scared me for real and i always think about it.

GUYS I PUT ON MASCARA AND DIDNT POKE MY EYES NOT ONCE!!!!

this is the same loki series anon and yeah i completely agree that in addition to it already being very weird, sylvie and loki had no chemistry and it was so forced😭😭😭 like even if i didn’t give a fuck about loki before this and i was just watching the show, i would be like ??? this feels a little off and it didn’t feel romantic until they explicitly started telling us it was, after which i felt icky! lmfao

this is a great point even if I didn't like Loki it would feel weird... like you know that clip from an early 2000s disney show that was like "you are the most annoying brother" "step brother :')" like. Loki/Sylvie gives me those vibes except almost worse because they are the same person.

I literally think people would perceive their relationship THAT MUCH DIFFERENTLY if Sylvie wasn't blonde. That would truly force you to accept they are the same because there wouldn't be a visual separation between the two

how to ask the demon you've been smitten over for 6000 years to dance: an angel's guide

bonus:

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Bonus:

fascinated/horrified by this set of tweets…

finding it necessary to remind everyone that it's seasonal. i promise you it's seasonal. everyone i know is out of their minds right now in some way or another. it's seasonal.

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!

and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!

as an aroace, im particularly dangerous, because i wont fuck or marry. i only know how to kill.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

Grover: Oh, you like war? Me too! My favorite part is *commits psychological warfare*

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda
