141 and Chinese Food

Just a thought: British 'Chinese' always looks whack, and kinda sad? For having colonized damn near everywhere and stolen like three worlds over worth of stuff --like why's their food always the most bland, unseasoned stuff??

Tf you mean 'toad in the hole' and its lil sausage guys in a bread? Black pudding?? Not what you think, not even pudding I don't think.

like WHAT??? Brother WHAT?

I'll literally never get over the fact that Yorkshire pudding is a whole firm bowl thingie and is in fact not pudding.

All their foods are pure deception, I swear.

Like that's poutine without cheese and some chicken balls sir. Anyways, my rant about food aside, cause I sure as shit ain't no Gordon Ramsey or Guy Fieri--back to the vision.

All I can imagine is the 141 not knowing about North American 'Chinese' and when they find out about it, their lives are changed.

Permanently.

There's times when they're on a mission, and Soap will just groan, sliding back in his seat cause goddamit he wants that good good food. He wants honey garlic ribs, lemon shrimp, the sweet and sour pork, crab rangoons. He wants it all.

Then Ghost (along with the others heavily agreeing in the background) reminds him just how utterly gaseous and unbearable he is after, always holding his stomach and whining about eating too much. 'If you eat half of an all you can eat buffet, you're going to have stomach troubles Johnny boy.'

Of course Ghost was loosely joking. I can imagine the lot of them rolling into a joint and clearing the place. Like Ghost, Price and Soap alone would be a force to reckon with. Roach is trying to keep pace but bug boy only has so much room and ain't no where near like them. And finally Gaz, who is just there like 'get a normal fucking plate, it's not going to get up and run away christ'.

The rest couldn't help themselves just much as Soap. The group making sure to only go eat it when they knew they were able to go straight to sleep after. The first time they had tried it, they had to run right after, not fun. Them all passed out was the inevitable end anyhow, a frenzy of piranhas before they became hibernating bears.

Then it would be months again before they would be able to get their sticky lil hands on it. Trying to convince Price to just let them touch down sometimes if they were flying over for a quick bite, he never would.

"We have Chinese at home." is absolutely what Price says, being the strict Dad while if it were up to Ghost, fun Uncle, he'd allow it.

"Noooooooo...." Soap somewhere off in the distance probably, poor man just wants something other than the dreary UK food.

Subtext and Culture, Young Royals, Season 2, Episode 3

When Jan-Olof called August at the end of episode 2, he said August was supposed to be at the castle next Tuesday, which is when this episode ends. So we're probably picking up this episode in the weekend before that maybe?

Culture: August calls his not favourite step-dad to get some legal advice to prepare for being summoned by the Queen. But if you listen to the Swedish dialogue, Rickard keeps repeating a word - grovt - while listing the possible crimes. The subtitles struggle with this, and the word normally means coarse or thick or rough, but in the context of Swedish criminal law, it means grave, egregious, or worse than normal, and it means that if convicted, the punishment should be from the upper end of the scale.

Subtext: Wilhelm is trying some self-help for his anxiety, but it's not going too well. Baby steps!

Subtext: It's no coincidence that the "injured party" is in the image while August's step-dad mentions it, and that's of course the problem for August. If he confesses or gets dragged into court, he's got an uphill battle, fighting the royal court and their lawyers, which his step-dad might not be up for.

Subtext: Wilhelm demanded distance from his bodyguards, the Queen said she couldn't do that, but what do you know, apparently it wasn't impossible for them to back off a bit.

Subtext: This is somewhat of a theme for this episode, but also for the series as a whole. Wilhelm talked Simon into cheating to get into the rowing team, for purely selfish reasons, and because it's second nature to him. But he'll never get punished for cheating, it's always someone else who will. Simon knows what's up.

Lost in translation: My subtitles skipped this word completely, but isterband is a kind of pork sausage. I'm not a fan, so I completely understand Felice here!

Subtext: Despite Jan-Olof being set up as kind of a villain, opposing Wilhelm all the way, at the end of the day he is employed by the royal family, and Wilhelm does outrank him and can order him around.

Culture: I live in Hawaii, so imagine my surprise when I went to Sweden in 2019 and suddenly noticed tons of places selling poke bowls of all things, when no-one would have known what that even was a year earlier. Sweden has this funny ability to take a trend from zero to a hundred seemingly overnight, leading to over-establishment and people burning out on trends as quickly as they appeared.

Subtext: Simon knows that cheating doesn't work, so he has enlisted Rosh to help him out with his workout in preparation for the competition, while Wilhelm is having a lazy "room-service" dinner with Felice.

Subtext: To be fair to Simon, Wilhelm has been manipulating things in order to stay close to him, and not the other way around.

Subtext: I'm gonna headcanon things a bit about Marcus here, but this is my take on it: Since they went to the same school, I think Marcus knew who Simon was, knew that he had come out as gay, and has been secretly crushing on him since. Marcus is probably really in love with Simon, and so caught up in finally going out with his crush that he isn't exactly picking up on the fact that Simon isn't on the same level.

Subtext: Simon is wearing a purple hoodie which means he's thinking about Wilhelm according to our popular colour theory. And he's wondering why he can't fall in love with Marcus? It's a complete mystery!

Subtext: The only times Simon has reached out to Marcus has been when he's feeling hurt by Wilhelm. But right here he realizes that he actually likes Wilhelm more, which is why he ignores Marcus.

Subtext: Everyone has been encouraging Wilhelm to talk about his feelings, so this is a start, he's finally found a friend he can talk to. Ironically, he's trying to let go, just as Simon realizes he shouldn't move on.

Subtext: Ah, Nils, never change! Boris isn't like the other teachers and staff at school, he doesn't fit in with the upper classes, which is why he's got this nickname. For all his derision though, it doesn't stop Nils from seeing him.

Culture: Nils shows contempt for the concept with his air quotes, but hbtqi-certifiering is a real thing offered by RFSL, Sweden's oldest and largest gay rights organization. For a psychologist to have that certification, it just means they're equipped to deal with the unique mental health problems queer people face.

Subtext: In his own way, Boris actually does answer the question without answering it, hinting that Erik also had problems with the role of being the crown prince and the weight of that responsibility.

Subtext: He's not wrong, though. The more money and power and fame you have, the more people will want to get close to you and use you and potentially blackmail you and leech off of you. There is a legit reason for the secrecy and privacy among the upper class.

Blink and you miss it: He's talking about Erik while touching the watch he wears as a memory of him.

Subtext: This old question again, "Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?" I'd say he's lying to himself here, it hurts right now, but he is better off for it.

Culture: The authors are four very well-known Swedish authors from the turn of the century, these books are classics, and every high school student in Sweden will have read some works by these authors, if not these specific books.

First up is Den Allvarsamma Leken by Hjalmar Söderberg, which is about a couple who met while young, couldn't get together, but stay in love over many years and relationships. Obvious parallels to Wilhelm and Simon's situation. This novel has been made into a movie several times, and the 2016 version was directed by none other than Pernilla August.

The second book is Kris by Karin Boye, and as the characters explain, it is an autobiographic novel about a lesbian love story hampered by tradition, because being gay in the 1930's wasn't exactly kosher.

The third book is Herr Arnes Penningar by literature Nobel prize laureate Selma Lagerlöf, which is about a murder-arson-robbery gone wrong. I certainly hope it's not meant to parallel our story! Selma used to be on the Swedish 20-krona bills introduced in the 90's, but design was replaced in 2015 to feature another author, Astrid Lindgren.

Edit: Thank you @emberc and @richtearex for finding out the title of the fourth book!

I can't make out the title of the fourth book, but the author is The fourth book is Getting Married by the internationally most well-known Swedish author and playwright August Strindberg. Many of his works are about challenging tradition and social rules, and he was seen as very controversial during his lifetime. The book is a collection of short stories about different kinds of marriage, including same-sex ones, which was extremely controversial when it was published in the 1880's. Again, obvious parallels to the show itself.

Subtext: If you haven't picked up the super duper obvious parallels between the novel and this story by now, I have completely failed in teaching you how to pick up subtext, and you are as completely clueless as Henry, who completely misses the point of the novel!

Blink and you miss it: Wilhelm really doesn't like speaking in public.

Subtext: Given how clueless Henry is, he's probably also completely missing the tension between Simon and Wilhelm, and he's that guy in a group project, always escaping responsibility. But him bailing to get coffee actually allows our boys to have a talk.

Subtext: Earlier, Simon chided Wilhelm for not being able to talk about his feelings, and now Wilhelm flips it and criticizes Simon for his lack of honesty.

Subtext: Simon starts reactively texting Marcus about meeting up to break up. But this time it's a reaction because he's slowly realizing he doesn't want to move on from Wilhelm. In the end though he changes his mind and doesn't send the text.

Subtext: Obviously, Sara is trying to sabotage the horse sale. Unfortunately for her, everyone else realizes what she's doing and is pretty much ignoring her.

Subtext: Simon did not fool the music teacher, she immediately realized that the song was actually about Wilhelm, but gives him suggestions on how to salvage it into a proper school song.

Subtext: Wilhelm's plan of replacing August backfires some more, Vincent is his usual douchy self, and Wilhelm realizes he can't control him like he could with August.

Subtext: First Brutus, now Judas. August really sees Vincent as the ultimate traitor.

Subtext: I think Marcus is getting an undeserved amount of shit in the fandom, because up until this point he's been nothing but good. He's actually getting his heart broken here by Simon, because he thought he really had a chance with him.

Subtext: Marcus says he is willing to wait for Simon to be ready for a relationship, which is the exact same thing Simon broke up with Wilhelm about, because he was not willing to wait for Wilhelm to be ready.

Subtext: He lied, like a liar. Wilhelm is 100% the reason Simon wants to call it off with Marcus at this point.

Subtext: But from this point on, I agree with the rest of you, this is manipulative behaviour from Marcus' side and not ok! He is clearly getting ahead of himself and wanting to salvage this relationship by any means, because in his head it's this beautiful thing that was meant to be.

Subtext: August is definitely sending some mixed signals here, he says he just wants to talk, so why is he lounging around half-naked waiting for her? However, it's also the case that Sara is the only person he can talk to about the sex tape at this point.

Subtext: Everyone has been telling Sara that August is the worst person in the world, using those exact words, and here he is saying it himself. But because he does that, Sara thinks he's self-aware enough to change and to redeem himself for what he did, which is why she's encouraging him to turn himself in.

Subtext: Except Sara felt like everyone hated her at Marieberg because she was bullied, which was absolutely not her fault, whereas August's situation is totally his own damn fault.

Subtext: I'm not sure exactly how to interpret this sequence, but I have some ideas. In season 1, we saw August being an extremely selfish lover with Felice, but here he's offering to go down on Sara for her sake, so that's a nice change. There's also a parallel to Wilhelm going down on Simon, making this a mirror to that scene. Or Sara is just nervous about having sex for the first time and not ready for oral sex?

Subtext: She lied, like a liar, clearly super happy about having had sex for the first time.

Subtext: Of course the horoscope matches her situation perfectly...

Subtext: ...it's just that the jealousy drama is not her own, it's Simon and Wilhelm's drama.

Subtext: Felice thinks she's talking about Rosseau, Sara is obviously talking about August. Or both.

Culture: I described the house system back in season 1, so it's nice to see it fleshed out a bit more in this season. The inter-house rivalry is strongly encouraged by the school, and here we see Sprucewood hyping themselves up before their Quidditch match against Slytherin indoor rowing match against Forest Ridge.

Subtext: Yeah, no, that kiss clearly crossed the line, it's not what Simon wanted. But Wilhelm saw it, thinking Simon lied about him and Marcus not being together, oh shit, oh no.

Subtext: Remember the talk about cheating and who gets the blame? Of course Vincent blames Simon for it, instead of Wilhelm, even though it's actually Wilhelm's fault Skogsbacken lost.

Subtext: So Simon quits the team, which means he's gonna get lower grades, getting unfairly punished yet again. And Wilhelm's plan for staying close to Simon backfired even more.

Blink and you miss it: Aww, Wilhelm keeps a small photo album labelled "Simon" on his phone, with a bunch of private photos of them.

Cinematography: If you listen carefully, the quality of the music changes noticeably in the cut, because the show does a diegetic switch between us hearing the music come out of Emo Wilhelm's earbuds, and it being a general soundtrack. It's also a very pretty montage of Angsty Teenager Being Angsty.

Culture: In season 1 there were only some distant shots of the royal castle, but this time we're getting a beautiful close-up of it. In real life, we're looking at Stora Sundby, which is Sweden's largest non-royal castle.

Subtext: You should all have read my previous piece laying out my thoughts on this entire plot, but note that the Queen only mentions Wilhelm quitting because he can't handle the pressure, she says nothing of the issues of being in a same-sex relationship or not having an heir, so she should at least get credit for that. Also note that this is specifically what Wilhelm's outburst in episode 1 was about.

Subtext: The show continues to paint the Queen in a good light, further separating her wishes from that of the nefarious System that forces her to do this.

Lost in translation: In Swedish, she doesn't say August is next in the line of succession, she says he's closest in the line of succession, which isn't the same thing, so the original is explaining this plot point slightly better than the subtitles.

Cinematography: This entire cursed scene is a mirror of the one in s1e4, which starts by Wilhelm asking Simon to hold him.

Cinematography: It's also physically mirrored, because Wilhelm and Felice are on the opposite bed on the opposite side in his bedroom.

His Darling (An Aomine x GN reader)

Just a little fluffy drabble about you being the only one Aomine tolerates and how you became his stuffed animal (this came from a conversation with @the-masked-ram ♡ thank you the encouragement to write it♡)

Word count: 1.1k

Aomine was not one to hold back when something was annoying him, and practices really did annoy him. He might be the laziest player on the team but there was no denying that when his interest was sparked there was no stopping him or winning against him. Practices brought him nothing but headaches.

Why did he have to run drills? Why did he have to repeatedly listen to plays when he didn't need them? Moment he got the ball in his hands he would make a score with no help from the team.

Him being there was pointless. A waste of time and energy. He finishes the drills faster than anyone and just glare at anyone that would ask to go over the plays again.

This was nothing short of torture, but at least the floor was cold enough for a nap. Just as he was about to close his eyes and sleep the time away he felt something on his stomach. Removing his arm from his eyes he say you standing next to him smiling. Looking down at him with a lollipop in your mouth. You always were eating some candy and he wondered how much of your money was spent on your sweet tooth.

He looked away from you to look at what was on his stomach. A bag of his favorite snacks. He is nowhere close to being like Murasakibara, but snacks do make laying down a bit more enjoyable and how can he say no to someone as pretty as you. After all, you are the only reason he comes to practices after all. You come just to hang out with Momoi and offer your support and encouragement to the team. Occasionally treating everyone with snacks during breaks but he was the only one that didn't need to share (not like anyone dared to try taking some of what he was eating). Everyone in school referred to you as the team's sweetheart. A little nickname that he really did love for you. The team thought of you as an angel really. Aomine was more tolerable when you were around. It was a cute sight when you would be sitting on the floor with his head on your lap, talking about a new show or book you just finished and him just listening, with the occasional nod. Everyone knew better than to come near you both and interrupt the little bubble you both lost in.

The team was so grateful that you would be the one that would wake him up when it was time to leave. He gave no fuss or harsh words, just slowly got up and wrapped his arms around you and did not let you go until you both at school entrance. You would have to practically beg and use sweet words for him to let go.

Today was a bad day for Aomine and no one was free from his wrath (except for you of course). He woke up with a horrible headache, making his temper even shorter than normal. An aura of pure anger radiated from him, and he had a look of daring anyone to talk to him (he wanted an excuse to take out his frustration out on someone).

People held their breath when lunch break came and you walked into the room with two bentos. During one of the first few practices that you befriend him, you shared with him some of your leftover lunch (he complained that the school lunch was so bland and he was too lazy to go get a snack for himself). He loved it so much that you promised him that you would make him a matching lunch only if he attended every practice from then on. The team was so thankful that they all chipped in to get you a few sweet treats from an expensive bakery. You placed his bento in front of him and sat down on one of the empty desks next to him. You woke up early to make some pork dumplings, octopus shaped sausages, white rice, hearts shaped strawberries and blueberries. You noticed that something was off with him. He was usually quiet but today he seemed to be a bit colder. You got up forgetting about your own food and sat in front of him and slowly began to feed him. Nothing was said even after he finished eating. You removed the bento from his desk and gently rubbed his cheek. You noticed how tired he looked and felt so bad that the break wasn't long enough for him to get some rest. You would switch from rubbing his cheek to gently running your fingers through his hair. He appreciated you giving him those small comforts more than you would ever know. Before you entered your class you sent Momoi a quick message that Aomine wouldn't be participating in practice today.

After classes ended you ran to the basketball court and went to get the pillow and blanket that Momoi had told you about (Momoi had a soft spot for her childhood friend and the benefit of being the team's manager no one questioned why there was a pillow and blanket into the team's equipment room) to make sure everything was ready for him to have the nap he been needing all day. Not too long after did he appear. You were sitting on the floor with the pillow on your lap and the blanket was laid out next to you. You just smiled at him and patted the pillow (luckily you always had a book in your bag so as he napped you would be able to get yourself lost in a story, but unknown to you Aomine had other plans). He took the pillow of your lap and placed it on top of the blanket. He kneeled down next to you, one hand found its way under your knees and the other on your back, before you could even question what he was doing he picked you up, set you down on the blanket and laid on top of you. He very easily manhandled you until he had you in a comfortable position and held you close to him and quickly fell asleep. Everyone on the team quietly was snickering and whispering how you had become his stuffed animal. You were so embarrassed but made no fuss in order not to wake him. Having no other choice you followed him to dreamland. It was the best sleep he had gotten in days. He decided from that day forward he wouldn't participate in practice and instead you both would take a nap together. He insisted that you had become his stuffed animal (he was so much bigger and stronger than you that there wasn't a sense in fighting him, you would end up pinned under him). Slowly you began to actually look forward to your naps together and would be your favorite part of your day (but never in a million years would you let him know, his ego was already to big for the universe to handle and didn't need to get any bigger).

I'd like to hear more about your opinions on sandwich construction, if you have the time!

Absolutely. So my main gripe with many sandwiches is that they have a massive tensile strength disparity, AKA a large difference in filling chewiness. If you have bread on the outside and something you can't chew through in one clean bite inside, like steak or chewy bacon, you will inevitably end up pulling your filling out of the sandwich. Meats in sandwiches should be prepared differently from a cut of meat you would eat with a knife and fork. You can slice them paper thin, like in a French dip or an italian sub, cook them to a state of crispy brittleness, such as with bacon, grind them up to make patties or sausages that can be easily chewed or bit into, or cook them until they are in such small pieces that they are fully contained within each bite, such as with sloppy joes, pulled chicken/pork, etc. These aforementioned sandwiches are also on thin ice because of their sloppiness and lack of portability, but I personally find a sandwich with detritus occasionally falling out the back more tolerable than a sandwich where I am constantly accidentally pulling items out the front. The former is an understandable aspect of eating a messy sandwich, the latter makes you look like a bumbling fool, especially if your ill-constructed sandwich is otherwise normal in outward appearance.

Fried fish/chicken sandwiches are the exception to my rule, as they can get away with being slapped on a bun without any change in preparation. I think this is mostly due to the fact that these meats are less chewy than beef or pork, as denoted by the fact these dishes are mostly eaten by hand even without a bun.

The tensile strength disparity thing can go both ways, as you can't put extremely soft, voluminous and/or squishy fillings on chewy/hard bread, as the amount of pressure needed to gnaw through crusty bread will have those fillings immediately pooping out the back. There are very few situations where an authentic baguette makes a good choice for a sandwich, but a shitty soft grocery store baguette is more useful than you might think. Sandwiches that require careful bread consideration include: "salad" sandwiches of the egg, chicken, and tuna variety, pulled meat sandwiches, those trendy Japanese fruit sandwiches, etc.

I stick by my stance because I think most conversations purely about flavor will dissolve under the weight of personal preference and nostalgia, but I think everyone can get behind the idea of structural integrity and ease of ingestion. Thanks for the ask, someone actually inquiring about my unnecessarily strong opinions on sandwich construction is something that usually only happens in my daydreams.

#seriously this ask made my day

Everone in Empires S2!!!

First we have Lizzie. She's 100% a human, totally not an anthropomorphic cat, posing as a human.... Totally not that.... Why are you looking at me like that?! Stop it! STOP SAYING SHE'S A CAT, SHE'S NOT-

She's the mayor of an animal empire and just a little warning don't scare her indoors, otherwise she'll get stuck on the ceiling.

Next we have Joel. He's a human who jumped into a magical fountain that turned him into an 11ft tall, sexy god. He's become a villain and the only one who keeps him sane is Hermes. He loves his son more than gold. Hermes is currently with Lizzie due to his war with a pirate. He's gonna get his ass sued by a sheriff, but more of that later. He's fine! Completely sane- (Scott: Why are you lying?) Shhhhhh

Sausage is a human. He's the ex husband of the god Joel. The two were in love but due to Joel's egotistical ways, it sadly didn't last. The two share custody over Hermes. He's also the wood master. Sausage the Wood King! (Scott: Wooooo! Go Wood King!) Are you done breaking the 4th wall? (Scott: *destroying the 4th wall* Nope!)

Speaking of the child, he's a precious angel. Hermes loves both of his dads and his aunt Lizzie. He's made of magic and is one of the strongest in the entire land.

Next we have Katherine. A sweet princess, eventhohervillagersthinksshe'scursed- She's a bounty hunting princess who has a bisexual pirate trying to win her heart. He literally stole a giant golden orb from a god to win her heart.

The bisexual pirate Joey is trying (and failing) to win Katherine's heart. He's pissed off a god at the moment and will probably have a storm hanging over his empire for all of eternity. Might resolve to kidnapping Hermes and holding him ransom at some point-

Then we have Shelby, a sweet swamp witch who was 100%, not kicked out of magic school and had to hide in a dense swamp from her powerful witch teachers. Noooooo. Not at all. She has a ton of trauma and her swamp is plotting against her. Please leave the little witch alone. She's precious!

Next we got False. A human filed with trauma. She stole her clothes from a corpse- Don't ask why. She a little ball of trauma. Please protect her!

We have another princess, Gem! She's the bee princess, a pure bean! Just don't hurt a bee, otherwise she'll pounce on you like an angry cat. She learnt that from Lizzie- (You: Didn't you just say that Lizzie's human?) SHE IS!!!

Fwip was human until he ate some pork and now is a small, scrunkly goblin. He loves Snort. The two are besties. He's built an entire tunnel system to all empires, so if you see his head, poking out of the ground, don't hit him on the head with a shovel- (Scott: *hits Fwip with a shovel*) What did I just say? (Scott: *looks over, grins as the shovel is behind his back before darting off screen*)

Scott is a gay, flower boy. He was once a traveller but due to losing an eye to a magic skull, he slowly went insane and passed out in the land where Chromia is built upon. Nature saves him from his isnanity of finding a wizard! He currently flirting with both Sausage and a sheriff. He'll make both of them his boyfriend's. You can't stop him. He will go exploring soon..... Hopefully..... Maybe...........

Now onto the Sheriff! His names Jimmy. 100% human, not a toy like the "rumours" from a certain god. He's gonna be suing the god soon. His deputies are a cat and a goblin. He has a shotgun that he uses to scare off a god. He's also writing a book called "How to kill an 11ft god". He's a good boy! (Sausage: YOU JUST SAID HE FIRES A GUN AT JOEL! PLUS HE HATES HERMES!!!) Don't start smashing down the 4th wall too, Sausage. It's already falling apart. (Scott: *nervous laughter*)

Pix is a traveller, preserving history. (Scott: *places down a magic artifact that he stole as Pix glares at him* What?) Not much is known about him but he seems nice! He's also the Frog Keeper.

And finally! There's Ollie. A guy, trapped in a cage by a goblin. He just wants to go home! Don't stare at him for too long though. He will cry. (Ollie: *starts to cry*) WHAT DID I JUST SAY?! *Ahem* he has an angelic singing voice and wants to know what happened to his friends. Why don't they know him?! Poor Ollie *hugs him*

Hopefully none of them will go through an emotionally scarring backstory- Wait! Scott, put down the magic scroll. (Scott: *smirks*) No! Don't you dare. (Scott: *writes "Make it cannon" on the Scroll of Emotionally Scarring Backstory For All Empires*) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hope you enjoyed this! I hope that it's accurate enough. I've only seen Jimmy's, Joel's and Scott's POVs and found bits and pieces about the others on here, so if any parts are inaccurate, let me know!

#empires season 2 #dangthatsalongname #jimmy solidarity #Fwip #pixlriffs #katherine elizabeth #false symmetry #theorionsound #ldshadowlady #smallishbeans #mythical sausage #joey graceffa #shubble #geminitay

So, funny story.

If you've got a slightly sarcastic, weird sense of humour like me.....

I'm type one diabetic. I started my 24hr fast seven hours ago after a mahoosive pile of meat with a bit of salad, a big flat mushroom and a fried egg.

We're talking a UK mixed grill. 8oz each of chicken breast, rump steak and gammon plus two pork sausages in this one. Yep, a LOT of meat.

A large amount of protein all at once shoots blood sugar up. But not straight away. It's a sneaky trickster that takes it's time. Carbs are usually pretty easy to dose insulin for. Protein is always going to be pure guesswork.

So my blood sugar has been way too high for hours. Can't seem to bring it down.

The commonly recognised target level is anything between 4-7 mmol/L. Mine is 13 right now. Ugh.

Oh yeah, the funny part, almost forgot....😋

One symptom of high blood sugar for me is absolute lack of any desire to eat.

So I'm taking that. Ok, so I feel like death warmed up, but at least I'm not thinking about food! 😅

2/9/2023 - Lunch

RHUBARB, Tanjong Pagar

$118++ for 5 courses

Amuse Bouche

🥔🐷🍐Potato roll, pork with pear puree

Quite salty but super crispy.

🦐🧅 Prawn tatare with onion and pomelo topped with cucumber dashi kelly and salmon roe. Buttermilk sauce.

Cucumber dashi was salty instead of the refreshing taste of cucumber. Gives a nice element of mild saltiness to the dish. Love the raw prawn texture but the taste itself sort of reminds me of an elevated spicy tuna mayo.

🍄🥄Mushroom emulsion on the top, truffle puree at the bottom with fermented mushrooms. Dusted with kombu powder

The earthiness of the emulsion comes through really nicely. Probably my fav component of the dish. The sour fermented mushrooms was probably there to offset the heaviness of the emulsion but I wasn't a fan of it.

🐟🧅🦞Thread fin with saffron aioli. Onion stuffed with quinoa and lobster sauce.

Fish was nicely cooked. Tender and slightly flaky. Goes very well with the lobster sauce. Aioli adds a touch of creaminess but was not needed for the fish. Goes better with the quinoa.

🦆🥟Hungarian duck with sausage dumpling. Decorated with fried grape, pomegranate sauce, rhubarb and spinach foam.

Not a fan of the grapes. The sugar coating was hard and didn't add much flavour or taste to the dish. Duck was extremely well done. Soft, tender, tasty and not gamey. Sausage dumpling felt like an atas luncheon meat. Never had rhubarb in it's cooked form. Tastes sort of florally and sour.

🥥🍨Coconut clouds with lychee sorbet

The refreshing lychee sorbet goes well with the thick heavy cream at the bottom. An amazing dessert that has perfect balance when eaten together.

Same anon who came up with "Sliced Pork" thought of another one. "Pulled Pork" maybe even "Boneless Pork" cause we all know Caleb is boneless at this point. I love joke ships like this purely for funny names. "Processed Red Meat." "Wheattbane & Ham." "Bacon & Toast." "Wood Hogs." (colonist pun) "Minced Meat." "Smoked Sausage."

Not sure if youre still doing this, but if you are

🖊 + Either James or Silas? I'd love to hear more about them!

HELL YEAH BABYYYYYYYYY THIS is gonna get long REALY quick. I want to talk about my murderous baby boy Silas, since I need to flesh James out more. I hope that's okay!

(TW: mentions for abuse, poison and murder)

Sweet like Sugar, Deadly like Poison: France's Adored Actor - Silas Tueuse:

FIRST IDEAS:

Baby!!!! Baby boy!!! He was actually the first design/idea I created before Mandisa, Raquelle, James, Lacrimosa and Celeste. He was also my first time trying to draw with the Lackadaisy character references! (i.e. the blue circles/heads, the sketching style, etc.)

He was a character that I just knew wasn't going to be a good guy. He just had the vibes of "antagonist" written all over him. Though he didn't always start out this way

His last name was originally going to be Mallory, meaning "unfortunate" in French. However, I switched it over to Tueuse, the meaning of quite literally "slayer" or "killer".

He was based off of a Savannah Cat breed! I didn't know which cat to do at first, but once I settled on it, I immediately had an idea and color palette in mind. Below is an example of the cat I referenced.

^this was the main design I used, but I wanted to keep it simplified.

Silas was purposely made to look feminine! He is not trans, but he is homoromantic demisexual! While his killing techniques include flirting and seducing, it is NOT out of pure love. It is only a manipulation tactic before he slips poison into someone's food or drink.

His voice claim, especially with THAT hair, is Daveed Diggs. He just RADIATES Thomas Jefferson/Lafayette-Hamilton vibes (since they're the same person lmaooo)

I also wanted a bit of a counterpart from the Savoy Siblings, I guess! That's why I made Silas and Raquelle :)

FACTS/HEADCANONS:

He is Raquelle Tueuse's older brother, and he takes after his father more than his mother. He speaks more English than French, but he is fluent in both.

He always had a passion for acting! He just knew it was his calling.

His father actually encouraged his passion for acting, and even gave him a few Shakespeare books, as well as other classic literature.

He is double jointed....self projecting here lmao-

He is travelling from France to all across America in search for "business", with his sister by his side. In reality, he's just going off, killing any target Lacrimosa gives him when in Hotel Maribel. (Mirabel Hotel?? HELP???)

When his father died, so did a piece of him, his sister and mother. His mother became rather abusive, and a belligerent drunk.

His first kill was unfortunately his mother one night, when she was hitting Silas and Raquelle, ultimately hurting them. When Silas killed his mother, it was fourteen years ago, when he was fifteen.

He is very protective of his sister, and very understanding to her mental struggles. He tries his best to be present.

His comfort food is Cassoulet! It's a French stew that includes Haricot beans with meat: you can use pork, sausages, goose, duck, lamb or mutton for the meat portion!

He would happily kill for his sister, and die for her too. That's just a given.

He collects daggers, classic literature, and also eyeliner.

ROLES/PURPOSE/OTHER STUFF:

He is the left hand man for Lacrimosa, and often works with Mandisa too.

He's the supporting antagonist, though I do see him more as an anti-hero.

Once he's in the right group of people, he is that ball of energy, yet at the same time he's such a sweetheart deep down...if it weren't counting on his multiple murders. While he's a sweetheart, this does NOT condone his behavior. He is still technically a bad person since he murdered a lot of people.

Cyanide is his poison of choice: quick, effective, deadly. He would then use any weapon (knife, gun, pool stick, any potentially dangerous object in the room) and kill his target.

If it were 2023, his song would be UH OH! by Sub Urban and BENEE.

^my entire thought process when Silas

buuuuut yeah!!! This is my boy Silas Tueuse, whom I love, and is near and dear to my heart. He deserves a good mother figure in his life :<

Pizza Sandwich

All the usual pizza toppings sandwiched between two slices of pizza crust - delicious but very messy to eat!

This is essentially a meatball sub with a twist. I got 8 decent sized sandwiches and you can absolutely cut corners with premade crust and meatballs.

Ingredients

Pizza dough (I used this NYT one here)

1 container of pizza sauce

3/4 c mozzarella

pizza toppings like green bell pepper and mushrooms (your call)

pepperonis

1 lb ground beef

1/2 lb ground pork or sausage

1/2 an onion

3 cloves garlic

1/3 c bread crumbs

1 egg

1 tsp herbs

1/4 c shredded Parmesan

splash of milk, lemon juice, or tomato paste

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Recipe

In a food processor, puree onions, garlic, egg, meats, bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, herbs, pepper, and splash of liquid of your choice. If it is wet, add some more breadcrumbs.

Roll into small meatballs and bake at 425*F until cooked. 30-45 minutes.

Cook pizza dough into 2 small rounds. Maybe like a 10 inch diameter. If using large premade crust, cut it in half. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 350*F

Sauté your toppings in a skillet until softened.

Switch your oven to broil and begin to assemble your sandwich. Put sauce on one side of both doughs. Top one with the meatballs, followed by the toppings, then the mozzarella, and finally the pepperonis.

Broil the pizza until the cheese melts.

Slap on that other crust and use a serrated knife to gently saw the pizza into portions. It makes a lot.

Shitty Picture:

Way better with pizza crust than a sourdough roll! Plus, 8 extremely filling sandwiches that didn’t get soggy made prepping lunch the next couple of days easy for us. Would definitely make again.

I hope everything is going well luvs!

⚠️ Warning: Food mention.

When you start to see [pork, cakes, cookies, wings, sausages and any food that is greasy/salty/too sugary] as pure fat, you know you've achieved something great. You've changed your perspective.

That types of foods are a trick, it's unhappiness wrapped in delicious smells and flavors, but in the end they make you miserable and unhealthy.

Avoid a crisis, avoid eating high calorie foods (unless they are healthy such as: walnuts, almonds, cashew nuts, oats, etc).

You are in control now, prove it to yourself.

Take care luvs, life is rough but so are you🤍

I've lost count of the amount of times I've sat on my bed staring saucer-eyed outside of the window. Still and cat like, hoping for a glimpse of a sparrow or maybe the elusive gold tit that sometimes graces me with his presence. A breeze slips in the open window, tickling the mesh curtain nailed above it. Warm cigarette smoke I exhale through the gap combats the cool air, a collision of pure and impure.

On the other side of the glass, on the pavement below, dusty white footprints left by the construction workers patter up towards number 16. Little ghost footprints.

I've watched them march to the work van and back, bringing with them paint splattered mallets and creaky metal ladders. I've seen them dissappear for an hour to come back with beers and a subway. They remind me of soldier ants bringing food crumbs back to the hive, and I've been watching like a spider in his web.

Across the street, at roughly 3pm each day, the old lady in her pink rain coat walks past. Her endearing shopping trolley trundling on flimsy plastic wheels behind her. She's always alone. I like to imagine she's just popped into town for a coffee. Then she calls into the butchers deli for two pork pies that'll she'll eat with her husband over a cup of tea when she's home. I hope so.

My favourite characters to watch out of this transparent square TV, is Polish Man and his dog.

Polish Man sits on the steps leading up towards the block of flats I live in, no matter how cold it is. If it's raining, which it often is, he stands underneath the bridge opposite the flats. Since I moved here 4 years ago, he's always been there drinking his chekov vodka. He shares sausages with his dog Rudi (now named Miko because he is no longer fat) whilst occasionally talking to him. I don't speak much Polish, but he says kurva alot.

When I leave my flat, he waves to me. When I come home, he waves to me. Sometimes he is merrily drunk and talks to me, I only sometimes understand what he says. Once, he confessed to me that he was an alcoholic, not that I'd already figured that or anything.

"I love people, I'm no bad" he said, throwing his cracked hands up on the word love.

I smile and reassure him:

"I know, you're good."

And I think it's true. He has always been good to me.

One time, a group of young lads started harrasing me. Asking me how I afford the flat and how they'd like to come inside with me. They were probably just drunk, but I was intimidated nonetheless as I fumbled about in my bag, desperately trying to find my keys so I could let myself into safety. Polish Man appears behind them, shouting incoherently. The shouting gets Miko riled up and begins snarling, barking at their heels. He tells them to fuck off and they do. The day after that, I made sure to gift him polish beer, pies and some dog treats.

I don't really know much about him, but I know that I've seen him go without vodka so he can feed his dog. He would sit miserable and sober just so his dog could eat. When it's freezing, I've seen him take his coat off and put it around the dog. That seems like a good person, that's real love.

He isn't homeless, he told me on one passing conversation. He has a home just around the corner.

I didn't ask why he sits outside all day, watching the world go by in the bitter cold. The language barrier makes conversation tricky, and I like to imagine anyway. Also, it would be hypocritical to ask why he sits, watching and thinking all day, when I do the exact same thing.

Today though, Polish Man isn't here. The step he sits on is empty. Miko isn't barking at passing motorcycles (he hates them). I'm not worried, I know he'll return. Little does Polish Man know, that whilst he is my street watcher guardian angel; I window watch him, wondering, and wait for his place on my step to be full again.
