chaotic (and a little silly) pogue reader who never fails to surprise rafe with her dumbass hot takes, even like a year into the relationship.
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
sometimes you get extremely specific cravings and immediately have to get them. you wake up fairly early in the morning, rafe's arms around your waist, pressed into your back, his breath tickling your neck as he sleeps.
"rafe"
no reaction.
"rafe."
you pinch his bicep and he groans, burrowing even deeper into your side.
"sleeping. 's too early."
"i'm hungry"
"let me sleep in and i'll buy you anything you want for breakfast.... later."
“i don’t need you to buy me anything,” you insist, wriggling in his arms, “i just need you to let go of me so i can get out of bed and get some soup.”
rafe groans again, not loosening his grip around you and you start to think that he fell asleep again, before he lets go of you, huffing and puffing. you press a kiss to his cheek, before you get out of bed.
“can’t even sleep in peace” you hear rafe mutter as you pad to the bathroom to go do your morning business, before heading to the kitchen downstairs.
it doesn’t take long for rafe to get up again, not having been able to get back to sleep now that you’re gone. he’s also not sure if he heard you correctly, wanting soup for breakfast, but figures that he probably dreamt it. after taking a piss and brushing his teeth, he goes downstairs, hearing you tinkering in the kitchen. you’re sitting on the counter, knees up to your chest as you are eating out of your bowl.
“morning baby,” he sighs, kissing your head with a smack and going to make himself a coffee.
“morning grumpy”
rafe rolls his eyes, turning the espresso machine on, before he pauses, turning back to you.
“… did you say you wanted soup for breakfast?”
“I did,” you answer, pouring some more cereal out of the box into your bowl. “i am.”
rafe stares at you, a little slow. he hasn’t had his coffee yet. “what?”
“cereal… breakfast soup.” you continue on, unperturbed, as if you just haven’t said the most insane thing rafe’s ever heard.
“you’re eating cereal,” rafe repeats. “cereal’s not soup”
you lift your head, a frown on your forehead. “cereal is soup. it’s a liquid dish and you eat it with a spoon”
rafe blinks, because you’re definitely not right, but somehow you’re also not wrong, and he’s not quite sure what to say, so he just sighs and turns back to his espresso machine. as the ground coffee falls into the portafilter, he runs a hand over his head, turning to you over with shoulder with narrowed eyes.
“you should hang out less with jj, i feel like he’s starting to rub off on you, and i’m not sure if i like that.”
you only snort into your soup.

As world leaders boarded their private jets home from Sharm El Sheikh, noticeably absent among them was youth activist Greta Thunberg, who in an interview before the conference accused world leaders and people in power of using the whole affair to grab attention, “using many different types of greenwashing.”
Reading her words, I couldn’t help but think about a group of protestors who last month grabbed the world’s attention in a more radical way than world leaders showing their faces at COP. I’m talking about SoupGate, MashedPotatoGate, and all the other protest actions that were sparked by Just Stop Oil protesters throwing a tin of tomato soup over Van Gogh’s sunflower painting in London.
In many respects the protest was a roaring success, generating international media coverage and making the front page of the New York Times. The video has been viewed almost 50 million times on Twitter alone.

enter the leola root (State of Flux, s1 e11)
Oh heavens, we have reached the beginning of the Seska arc. I loathe this storyline so much that I'm probably going to say as little as possible about it, except to deliver some very obvious critiques that everyone has probably articulated already over the decades.
Martha Hackett is good in this role and I don't object to the basic premise of her character - an Alpha Quadrant enemy and foil for Janeway who plans to get home by staying in one place and amassing resources rather than going on a long road trip punctuated with quaint little exploratory missions. Seska's plan isn't totally stupid, as we'll see in Season 2.
Similarly, giving Chakotay split loyalties and a soupçon (lol) of backstory is a good impulse! The soup scene shows him struggling to set new parameters with his former crew. Season 1 needed a lot more of this kind of thing.
What other nice things can I say about this episode? Janeway, as always, injects genuine contempt into her interactions with the Kazon; she's excellent at presenting herself as a political adversary. The set/props departments did a fabulous job with the replicator accident on the Kazon ship. It looks spooky!
Despite the performance, Seska is such a bland, mustache-twirling femme fatale - vamping on Chakotay when he just isn't interested, giving dramatic speeches before running off with the Kazon. All the spy stuff and misdirection is weak because we're given no indication that Carey could be the traitor (though of course I'm not watching this episode cold, so it's hard to be entirely neutral).
I think the events of this episode would have been so much better served by serialization - revealing soon that Seska and Chakotay were in a relationship would give us a heightened sense of the stakes. Soupgate aside, this doesn't really feel like his story; we don't know why he and Seska broke up or what it means for him that this relationship was a lie. All we get is an intimation of (rather brittle) pride at the end, in which Chakotay compares Seska's betrayal with Tuvok, despite it having an entirely different emotional valence.
Mostly, this episode is blah because it's a reminder that Season 2 is coming, alas. 1.5 out of 5 cups of contraband mushroom soup.

Completely out of patience, Jin Zixuan clears his own throat and steps forward. “Second Young Master Lan–,”
The Song of Rest cuts off so abruptly that it’s startling. Lan Wangji’s hands still the strings of his instrument, and his head turns towards Jin Zixuan with a slowness that’s almost eerie. His face is completely blank.
“Thank- thank you. This will only take a moment, you really could have– anyways.” Jin Zixuan clears his throat again, takes a moment to go over all the words his seniors had him practice, and then speaks. “I would like to invite Second Young Master Lan to treat with me before we move to the next location. I was thinking of taking advantage of your mobility on the battlefield and my own positioning. We can discuss a potential collaboration to best maximize our skills and prowess–,”
“No,” says Lan Wangji.
When he turns back, Lan Wangji is no longer there. He made no announcement of his exit, said no goodbyes, gave no bows. He has simply walked away, heading in the general direction of Wei Wuxian.
*slaps the table guffawing* oh that’s classic lan wangji alright. from this chapter
#idk if he'd be SO rude to#someone who hasn't actually done anything to him but this might be post-soupgate and he's siding with wwx in disliking him#either way this is so funny#ficblogging

I really feel like we should all be more willing to be slightly less charitable in our opinions toward activism that feels very specially made to focus more on the activists than the issue at hand.
Also climate change is the most serious issue of our lifetime and deserves serious advocacy from serious people and groups. Museum stunts are not that.

Ok but what’s this legendary bad soup story??
lmao ok so
back in november, just before thanksgiving, my mom came to visit me. leading up to this trip, she told me she had made the best soup ever and that she just had to make it for me. she raved about this soup. this soup was the best thing that ever happened to her (mind you she raised five children).
i said oh wow what kind of soup? and she says 'oh i didn't follow a recipe i just threw a bunch of stuff but it was SO good.' now at this point i'm not too skeptical because who hasn't made a delicious soup by accident?
she then asked me to purchase ingredients for the soup. the three texts she sent me read as follows:
"Vegetable broth baby carrots 4 small potatoes 4 small sweet potatoes acorn squash small frozen corn and peas"
"Soup!"
"Small butternut squash"
the excitement is palpable. these ingredients may raise a red flag for some of you but i am a vegetable girl and i am not yet afraid.
we decide we'll invite my girlfriend and a couple friends over for dinner, featuring the soup. not a big party, mind you, but we have now brought three other souls into this situation.
the dinner is scheduled for monday. she begins making the soup on saturday. and this is where things start to go south, and also where the timeline gets a little fuzzy.
here is what i do know: the soup cooked for three days. at night, my mom turned off the crockpot, and in the morning, she turned it on again. at some point during these three days, i tasted it. i think probably on day 1, because at that point i did not expect that the soup would be cooking. for. three. days.
reader, it was so bad. i think part of the reason she kept cooking it was because she was trying to save it, but it could not be saved. it was also quite literally not safe to eat. my mom was so upset that we cancelled the dinner entirely. it's still a sensitive topic.
also - because the crockpot was on for so long, it cracked. and it leaked. and then, a month later, when i was moving out of my apartment, i discovered that the leak had been worse than i thought and had gotten underneath the counter where i kept my extra paper bags. the bags were stuck to the floor with nature's adhesive: mold.
the soup was doomed. doomed by the narrative. and now we are haunted by the soup.
and that is the story of SoupGate

Even for Donald Trump, this is definitely an extremely weird rant to go off on. He was ranting about bags of soup? Seriously? 🤦🏼♂️🙄 There HAS GOT TO BE something seriously medically wrong with Trump! If you ask me, he’s not mentally fit to be the President of the United States, and that’s just one of the many, many, many reasons why I don’t think that he should be reelected as President. I honestly don’t think that he should have been elected President in the first place. Here’s to hoping Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win the election on November 3rd! 🤞🏼
Trump goes off on HUMILIATING rant about dangerous bags of soup

Have you ever watched the anime Ping Pong the animation? It's a great sports anime
I haven't yet, which is entirely my bad as it's floated around on my to-watch list for years and I've only ever heard high praise for the series.
I should, soon - the plan is to finally watch Gravity Falls after re-watching Shinsekai Yori, and then maybe at long last I'll Ping Pong.

ep22 (pt 2): politely avert your eyes from this one
there's no strong commentary here lwj is just looking at wwx like this for a SOLID ten seconds as he walks away and I'm trying to derive some feeling from it. he looked a little wistful briefly
pretty shot
oh there he is. YOU SNAKE. LEADING LXC ON ARE YOU
blam. he looks really good in this outfit. love the guan
xicheng shippers will look at this set of shots and call it evidence for their ship. lmao. anyway they all look really nice
THOSE PEOPLE GOT HIT WITH A FIREBALL AND JUST DISINTEGRATED
and here's wwx making his sexy face right after exchanging some very light banter with lwj
lxc just looks REALLY good in this scene idk the lighting is working for him
wwx flies up and alights on a sculpture and lwj is like oh shit what is about to happen
IT WAS ALL WORTH IT FOR THIS VISUAL
personal highlights
slim pickings for this episode. the fighting sucked and made up so much of the episode
the rooftop reunion was very nostalgic
soupgate is always a pleasure
nhs waving bye-bye to wwx was cute
lxc is very nice looking
wwx looked pretty cool up there at the end
I am yawning :(
#cql re-rewatch#I have got to keep the momentum going. maybe I can reach BM arc by the end of the weekend#and I don't want to leave it here! at the cliffhanger!

one of the things that snuck up on me with this rewatch: being forcibly dunked into considering the subjectivity of Jin Zixuan during all of his awkward!asshole!teenager scenes
lemme tell you, it’s astounding how much better he looks when considering everything from the angle of “sheltered kid raised in conniving, indirect, status-obsessed Jinlintai; desperately wants to be nothing like his utter shitbiscuit of a father,” instead of from default!Wei Wuxian POV, where people can just be, like... normal... and say things. and not worry about the social ramifications.
which is not to say that Wei Wuxian is wrong, necessarily, because he sure as fuck offers a lot of (mostly unintentional) insult to Jiang Yanli on multiple occasions. but it really does offer a significant point about how important context is for interpreting others’ actions and character, because hooo boy, that is the main thing in all these situations that Wei Wuxian (and the viewer, especially during a first watch!) lacks.
#The Untamed#Jin Zixuan#no good things for the poor sad cultivators#meta#rambling#I think Soupgate is probably the most stark example of this POV issue honestly#like we and WWX are both looking at JZX like wtf is wrong with you thinking JYL would be trying to steal credit from someone else???#wtf why are you being shitty and saying she thinks she's better than others bc she's from an important family????#bc WE know the JYL is a wonderful honest sweetheart and the Jiangs internally aren't like that#but considering 'higher status person steals credit for the work of an overlooked subordinate' is DEMONSTRABLY a problem at Jinlintai??#(yes I'm putting book & show canon in a blender re: the specific example of that but shhhh)#it's honestly pretty understandable that this is the conclusion he'd come to re: soup#and that he'd not want to let that kind of behaviour stand#(I can't remember when/if we definitively learn that Mianmian a servant's daughter in CQL?)#(but with that context his friendship with her really does say a Lot about what values JZX stands by from the beginning)
