How does Dimitri happen if Nicole and Dante don’t do anything as adults because that’s. Very worrying.

Tw, pedophilia, grooming, statutory rape and how those themes correlate to Amaranth

It’s not meant to be comforting.

The entire relationship is a point of worry. And in the occasion that Nicole did wait for Dante to be an adult, it’s still worrying, because waiting for a minor to become an adult so you can pursue a sexual or romantic relationship with them is grooming. Because it’s clear the intention for that relationship existed before they became ‘legal’, the only reason it waited until that point is because of the legality of it, and not at all because of the other party’s well being. Maybe grooming and statutory rape are, y’know, different levels of worrying, but considering legality ≠ morality I think it’s worrying regardless.

Dmitri was conceived before Dante was an adult. Nicole and Dante were in a romantic relationship before Dante was an adult. The entire situation is gross and not to be rooted for. Dmitri shouldn’t be the point at which this relationship becomes worrying.

i'm honestly very surprised at how popular zenix is, like i've seen him get really far in these poll tournaments recently. maybe i just don't see the appeal but i wasn't expecting him to be so popular. do people just like rabiescore or what

ME TOO I DIDNT THINK HE WAS SO POPULAR.........tho, my friend had a theory that some of the zenix fans here are popular outside of aphblr & urged nonaphmau fans to vote for zenix cause yknow. the chad vs. zenix poll has 700 votes

Decided its not my birthday anymore

instagram destroyed me spiritually so i’m doing tumblr now

Guys. I’m going to put an old fandom into my queue. And I need you to hold my hand and stick with me thru it.

oh my god .

I was wrong

It takes a lot to admit that, even more for me to admit that about MCD, but I was wrong about something in regards to this series. In a previous post I said that the worst episode of MCD was Season 2 Episode 95, because it was the culmination of the absolute failure that was Laurance's character arc. And I wasn't wrong about that, S2E95 is an objectively bad episode and I stand by it being one of the worst. But it's only one of the worst episodes of this series. Probably second or third worst.

The actual worst episode of Minecraft Diaries happens far earlier in it's run time than I anticipated. The actual episode that begins the degrading of every single main character happens within it's first season. The worst episode of Minecraft Diaries is Season 1 Episode 65, Our Fears.

For those of you who haven't watched MCD in a minute, or aren't insane like I am and recognize what happens in an episode from just a number and a thumbnail, this is the episode where Aphmau and Dante get chased into Malachi's abandoned castle and fall victim to his uncontrollable magic. A magic that shows people their greatest fears.

Now the concept of a ghost that forces the audience and the characters to come face to face with the leading characters greatest fears is a fantastic idea. I'm serious this is one of the best concepts for character work in the entire Aphverse. This is great, this can go so many good ways.

Aphmau's fear is pretty weak mostly because it shows her house on fire, nobody hurt, and Malachi comments that she's "Scared of losing the ones you love." My honest reaction to this was "She lost her house in episode 36 and didn't seem to care because her loved ones are safe. You wanna communicate that she's scared of people dying just show Zoey lying on the ground or something smh." It gets the job done, but not very well.

Dante's fear is the only one that's well done because it's an image of Gene about to rip apart the realm barrier in the Nether. This works surprisingly well despite only being one shot because it gets across Dante's connection to Gene and the Nether pretty well, setting up for the reveal later on. Dante's existence is this episode's single redeeming quality. And as much as I like the guy, he's not enough to hold up the episode after what happens next.

Now, dear viewer who presumably knows the plot of MCD because you've read this far into a post about this single episode, you know that at this point in the series Garroth has been found out by his brother and has the looming threat of the entire O'Khasis military on his mind all the damn time. Zane has already hurt members of his village in direct ways, and only didn't do more damage because he was called away for an emergency. Garroth has already failed to protect one lord, and he's nearly failed to protect another.

Laurance is a shadow knight. And even though the lore of shadow knights is still flimsy at this point, we know that they are very prone to killing lords, it's why Laurance renounced his position as head guard of Meteli and refuses to return. But that doesn't mean his desire for blood is gone. It just means it has a new target. Like say, the lord he comes to the castle in search of? That he has explicit romantic feelings for?

Again, this idea of forcing the audience and the characters to face their greatest fears is such a good idea, especially with these three, because they can all be interlinked. Aphmau fears losing her loved ones, Garroth fears failing to protect his people, and Laurance fears that he'll give into bloodlust. Are you picking up what I'm putting down? I don't know if I can make it anymore obvious where the show should have gone from here.

But, no, unfortunately Jesson wrote this series. So what could have been one of the best moments of character work in the entire series, instead became the beginning of the end for our would be love interests. I'm of course referring to how it's revealed that their actual "worst fear" is Aphmau getting with... Another guy. Not even her picking one over the other, just her holding hands with and kissing some guy that Garroth and Laurance DON'T EVEN KNOW!

And despite Laurance saying he's happy as long as he has Aphmau in his life, he starts getting enraged that another guy would have the audacity to kiss her. Even though the scene he's shown seems to be entirely consensual. And in response to this, BOTH OF THEM DECIDE TO TRY AND KILL THIS ILLUSION OF DANTE JUST FOR KISSING THE GIRL THEY LIKE!

AND THIS IS SEEN AS A GOOD THING BY THE SHOW!! Attacking this illusion breaks the barrier around the real Aphmau and Dante, and Garroth and Laurance are never punished for their actions here. Aphmau is barely concerned that her guards, the men she's willing to trust with her life, were willing to kill someone for the crime of kissing her. Hot fucking take, Aphmau maybe shouldn't trust these people after seeing that they're willing to kill a man over the crime of loving her when they want to.

And even hotter take, GARROTH AND LAURANCE WOULDN'T DO THIS! Both men have been shown to be highly protective over Aphmau, which makes sense it's literally their job to keep her safe, but that protective nature shouldn't cross over into actively interfering with her romantic life. They're fucking lucky it was just an illusion, what would have happened if Malachi used mind control? What if he was using Aphmau and Dante's bodies as puppets? What if Garroth and Laurance just killed an amateur guard whose only crime was being forced to kiss the girl they liked?

This is one of those writing decisions that truly baffles me. It was RIGHT THERE, HOW DID YOU MISS, IT (the perfect piece of character work) WAS THREE FEET IN FRONT OF YOU! The answer is that Jesson don't really care about the interesting character work, they care about tropes. They care about the main character being in a love triangle with two guys who equally suck but in different ways. They care about fans getting excited and debating over which ship is better. They care about pushing this love triangle onto viewers regardless of what makes sense for the characters involved because the writers fail to see the nuance of the characters that they fucking wrote the nuance of.

I fucking hate Episode 65. Easily the worst episode of MCD. Any episode after this when Garroth and Laurance act horrendously out of character in service of this love triangle (I'm looking at you episode 77, and episode 90, and season 2 episode 95, and season 2 episode 98), know that it started here. It started with episode 65.

Fuck this episode.

girl help my cousin put on an aphm*u g*cha l*fe . song battle thing ?

Today we imagine ketchup as the ultimate modern American food (and it is true that we like to put ketchup on…well, a lot of things). But ketchup’s origins are found in Asia, and its adaptation *cough - appropriation into the thing that resembles our thick, modern-day ketchup began in early modern Britain. ⠀⠀ The word “ketchup” is borrowed either from the Chinese Fujian dialect (鲑汁 kôe-chiap, a brine of pickled fish or shellfish, with “kôe” as a kind of fish, and “chiap” as juice or sauce), and/or from Malay (with “kecap” or “kicap,” soy sauce). It’s likely that Britons encountered this tasty sauce – a thin, black-brown liquid that was either a type of fish sauce or a type of soy sauce – during acts of travel and colonization. ⠀⠀ In other words, ketchup wasn’t necessarily made with tomatoes, at least not at first. Back in the day, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the “most esteemed kinds” of ketchup were mushroom, walnut, and tomato, which emerged around 1800 in the U.S. and predominated from the early 20th century. ⠀⠀ Flavor, spice, and shelf-life were clearly important to early modern British ketchup-makers as they attempted to replicate the soy and fish sauces that had come to them via acts of travel, conquest, and colonization. But just as these Britons worked to use and enjoy Chinese and/or Malay sauces, they simultaneously adapted them, changing the recipes to suit their own tastes, needs, expectations, and palates. ⠀⠀ White Europeans appropriated, gleaned, bought, and stole knowledge and knowledge-systems from indigenous.

Homemade Lumpia

Ingredients

for 10 servings

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 medium yellow onion, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium carrot, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 lb (455 g) ground pork

12 oz (340 g) water chestnuts, 1 can, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

2 teaspoons soy sauce

¼ cup (35 g) green onion, minced

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced, plus more for garnish

1 ½ cups (355 mL) canola oil, for frying

25 lumpia wrappers, or spring roll wrappers

1 egg, beaten

sweet chili sauce, for serving

Preparation

Make the filling: Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat.

Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and carrot. Cook for 4 minutes, or until the onion is slightly translucent.

Add the ground pork and cook for about 6 minutes, or until cooked through.

Add the water chestnuts, salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Stir for 2 minutes, then mix in the green onion and cilantro. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.

Heat about an inch (2 cm) of canola oil in a deep, medium frying pan until it reaches 300°F (150°C).

Lay out one lumpia wrapper in a diamond shape and spoon 2 tablespoons of filling at the bottom of the wrapper, leaving about an inch and a half (3 cm) of space from the bottom point.

Fold the bottom point over the filling, then fold in the edges to create an envelope shape. Roll the wrapper toward the top point. Brush the top point with egg wash and finish the roll to seal the end.

Carefully place four to five lumpia at a time in the hot oil. Frying on each side for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Note: If the lumpia are cooking too fast or burning, reduce the heat.

Remove the lumpia from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

Sprinkle with a garnish of cilantro and serve with sweet chili dipping sauce. Optional: Cut lumpia in half.

Enjoy!
