Acting on pure impulse and feeling like posting a few doodles. :)

Do pretty much every single one have the same monotone expression? Oh, absolutely!

“Walrus on your doorstop” this “fairy’s more unrealistic” that my professor just uttered the sentence “there was one day I found a real octopus in my backyard” this man hasn’t left Utah his entire life. How was there an octopus in his backyard in Utah. He then said “I do not have time to elaborate we need to cover a lot today in class” GIRL WHAT DO YOU MEEAN

#al speaks #we are fifteen minutes into class and still haven’t had any class cuz he was telling a story. wdym you don’t have time for the octopus story #stop class I want to know everything. I guess he would say he would be more surprised to see a fairy than a walrus #walrus or fairy

woke up and someone spilled vanilla extract all over my dash, so as punishment you strange little beasties are getting all the VANILLA FACTS i know:

vanilla is the 2nd most expensive spice in the world (2nd to saffron)

which is why more than 99% of what we call "vanilla extract" is actually vanillin (vanilla's dominant flavor compound) and is not extracted from real vanilla.

luckily, even professionals struggle to tell the difference when it comes to things like baked goods. but there is a distinct difference in non-heat treated products like vanilla ice cream. real vanilla has a more complex, individualized flavor profile.

why is vanilla so expensive? because it is a ridiculously delicate & demanding crop. complete primadonna.

vanilla beans come from vanilla orchids. these crazy flowers bloom for A SINGLE DAY and have to be HAND-POLLINATED in a process that is exhausting, delicate, and requires specialist knowledge passed down over generations.

then, if you're lucky, you get vanilla beans.

which then require months of further specialized treatment.

the entire process takes about a year and can go wrong at any stage

vanilla has been cultivated for over 800 years (possibly much longer). the first known cultivators are the Totonac, an indigenous people of Mexico.

the Aztecs used it as a sweetener to balance out the bitter taste of cocoa. it was popular in a drink called xocolatl--the precursor to modern hot chocolate!

it is only pollinated by a very specific orchid bee!!!

which is why no fruit could be grown outside of Mexico until the 1800s

Edmond Albius, born into slavery, invented the pollination method we still use today--launching a global industry when he was just 12 years old.

today, the majority of the world's vanilla is grown in Madagascar

if you want real vanilla, read the labels carefully--it's harder to find than you think!

in conclusion, those tiny black specks you see in fancy vanilla ice cream? those are vanilla bean seeds! itty bitty orchid seeds!!! they are delicious and also a PRISSY BITCH!

#Vanilla Extract #i open the tumblr app and immediately my nostrils are invaded by the overwhelming stench of vanilla #also if you want real vanilla extract at a discount: check out stores like HomeGoods TJMaxx Marshalls etc #the foodstuffs section tends to have fancy nonperishables for much cheaper than upscale grocery stores #you can get things like saffron truffles fancy oils at surprising prices #still expensive but like. 50% cheaper #or just shoplift if that's your thing i won't tell you how to live your life #did i just spend an hour writing this? yes. why did i do that? i don't KNOW

underappreciated marcille bit : her being a gay lil hater and glaring at toshiro whenever he gets flustered over falin

that poll going around asking how often you smoke weed and almost a third of ppl saying they’ve never smoked before, and that poll that revealed that over a third of tumblr users have never kissed anyone before, proves to me that stoners who have gay sex are a small but imperative part of the tumblr ecosystem. Keystone species

#I was SHOCKED when I found out how many people had never kissed anyone before #virgins? on MY gay sex website?#I was less shocked with the weed poll but still a lil surprised #mine #peer reviewed

It's utterly magnetic when a character's rage is quiet and precise. When they don't scream and throw things but they just b r e a t h e and very very calmly aim their fury like an arrow shooting inexorably towards the target of their wrath. It captures my attention, I lean in close, I wait for the hit. It never disappoints.

#yes yes of course this is about #Dream of the Endless #to no one's surprise I'm still not over the Calliope episode #that confrontation with Richard Madoc sure was Something #Morpheus is Furious #and I have Feelings about that #Calliope #The Sandman #The Sandman spoilers #my faves

Ok ok wait I'm rewatching the very beggining of ep 5 when Aziraphale talks about the 1965 doctor who annual and just

Aziraphale: "The 1965 Annual was indeed never printed, *looks at Crowley*, due to problems at the BBC"

Crowley:

Crowley, what happened in september 1965 at the BBC..?

#to be clear i’m aware he’s most likely surprised because Aziraphale is *bargaining* with his books but still #look at that face #crowley #good omens #good omens 2 #aziraphale #doctor who annual #ig?#good omens s2e5 #good omens meta #<- lmao

So Rose Noble chose herself the name Rose because she shared the metacrisis bound through her mom and even with no memories, the Doctor loves Rose Tyler so much, she unconsciously knew this name has an important meaning.

The presence Rose Tyler always has without being here.

I'm fine.

#dw #doctor who #dw spoilers #i knew it the moment she was revealed that it was no coincidence #wasn't really surprised when it's revealed that she shared the metacrisis bound #still i was thrilled #if only Rose could meet Rose 😫

"heres how mike schmidt could actually be an afton-"

"heres how mike schmidt could actually be an emily-"

#fnaf #fnaf movie #fnaf movie spoilers #i think if it turned out that mike was actually an afton it would be kinda...#dumb?#but i think if it turned out that mikes dad had been friends and business partners with william afton i think that would still work #like. mike was a traumatized child so i wouldn't be surprised if he forgot what his dads friend looked like #or at least that he wouldnt recognize the man years later #and it would explain why afton was in Nebraska and able to snatch Garrett #even though its implied that Nebraska isnt where they live
