genuinely about to cry at the word for france in te reo māori. so like. almost every country name is just the english name but altered to only have letters that exist in te reo (so like canada = kānata, norway = nōwei etc) except france that is literally just fucking. wīwī. as in ouioui. imgoing to fucking die
If Jodie Foster doesn’t have sex with a woman then True Detective Night Country will be the second time I’ve been baited by an extremely lesbian looking detective only to have her daughter be the one that’s queer (Mare of Easttown). I’m not falling for it again. Even if Cate Blanchett gets cast in the titular role in Inspector Carpetmuncher and the Fingerfucking Mystery they’re not gonna get me!! There’s going to be a younger woman in that IMDB cast page credited as like Sara Carpetmuncher and I’ll know what’s up.
Y’all this is the most random but I have to share. I have been in pure white knuckling survival mode at work for the last month. Finally FINALLY (a few tiny remaining tasks aside) I’m (almost) on break for 3 whole weeks. A break I need more than I have words for.
So this evening I was trying to catch up on some holiday cards I wanna mail out and I grabbed an arbitrary hardcover book off my shelf to use as a surface to write on while sitting on my couch and it was THIS cookbook from 1974.
Do I recall having seen this cookbook in my life before? Nope! Did I heavily clean out and pair down my book collection for a garage sale just a year ago? YEP! Am I deeply confused and intrigued? You bet!
Here are my “”””””favorite””””” findings inside…
Shrimp macaroni casserole? Definitely the kind of thing I had expected from a 70s cookbook!
Frank-Kraut dinner? YOU BETCHA!
Confetti?!??? Meatball???? Supper? Hahhaha wtf, surely Better Homes and Gardens, you jest!
Aaaaaaaand let’s top it all off with this crown jewel: SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN MOLD!!!! If there’s one flavor I’d love moldified, it’s sweet and sour chicken!!!!!
It’s all: “you could have been my red queen” this and “thief/obviously” that, but WHEN are we going to talk about: “I thought of you in the end, I saw your face in the water.”????? HMMM?! When? When are we going to talk about this?
rewatching supernatural and i just realised that in season one every episode had a deeper meaning. like some lesson you could learn from it besides the main plot we followed.
for example 1x14 was mainly about sams powers focusing on the abilities he has and the murder of his mum and jess. but it was also about family stability (dean being the only reason sam didn't turn out the same as max) and abuse and about the question what abuse is (max being abused by his dad and uncle but kinda also his step-mom because she never helped him even though she knew what was happening). it was about breaking the vicious circle that abuse is ('old habits die hard I guess').
or 1x17. it was about the relationship between sam and dean (the simple joy of teasing your loved ones with pranks which kinda escalated at some point). it was about letting professionals handel things (the first time the ghostfacers interrupt one of sam and deans investigations), but it was also about the power of believing in something (mordecai only existing because people believed in him), it was about the hurt a belive can cause (a girl getting killed because the myth changed).
this is not a hot take I guess most people knew this from the start, but it just occurred to me and I wanted to share.
