I have to preface this post by saying that I am not a Dragon Ball Z fan, but in spite of that that, even *I* know of Akira Toriyama's influence.

Akira Toriyama was an industry giant. And I don't know if he ever intended to be one, as giants often don't, but there is no denying his influence. Without Dragon Ball Z, a lot of the animations and animes we all know and love today wouldn't exist.

It is rare that art spans genres, cultures, and time, but DBZ is among the few that have. It managed to do what so few art does, which is bleed into the cultural fabric. So much so that even as a non-fan, I can recognize a Dragon Ball Z character immediately upon seeing one due to its distinctive art style. I know what it means to go "super saiyan" because my friends in school constantly referenced it. I remember them going into DBZ fight stances, drawing Goku or Vegeta in their notebooks, and excitedly debating and talking about the show over lunch. I've seen it referenced throughout Western Animations, paid homage to with such great admiration and respect that you know it was done out of sheer love.

Dragon Ball Z is part of the cultural lexicon because it was a unique creation from the unique mind of its creator. I don't think Akira put his pencil to paper when he first drew Goku with the intention of making something so iconic. I don't think he wrote this story or these characters, thinking that he'd make something that would be a part of peoples' minds for generations to come. I think he made this story out of love, and it became what it is simply because he shared his heart in his art. It is evident that Dragon Ball Z was a labor of love, and AI couldn't attempt to make something this influential even if it tried.

Art that is this culturally impactful is often referred to as a magnum opus; a masterpiece. It transcends time, outlasts the artist, and is proof of their immortality. Leonardo da Vinci has the Mona Lisa, Mary Shelley has Frankenstein, and Akira Toriyama has Dragon Ball Z.

Rest well, friend. Thank you for sharing your works with all of us.

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

i wonder where the idea of chilchuck being a deadbeat came from when theres like. no textual evidence for it ?

he knows what all of them are up to; he still writes to flertom and she sent him his neckwarmer, so that to me implies that they at least have a somewhat positive relationship?

its more ambiguous with meijack and puckpatti, but since meijack is also a picklock, i wouldn't be surprised if he taught her himself, considering how trades are often passed down through families, and because he talks about sending people to her if he dies.

also the way he talks about puckpatti is very like... it's obvious he wants her to take things more seriously, but he's accepting, and his tone here reads more fond to me than anything else.

like, he keeps his daughters' old toys under his desk? that doesn't scream 'deadbeat' at all, it screams 'empty nester' who doesn't know how to reach out or is scared to do so

EDIT: i know a lot of the 'deadbeat dad' stuff is jokes, but some people are Not joking and genuinely think chilchuck is a bad dad. this post is not saying that you cant joke about it; it is just outlining what canon shows regarding his (clearly positive) relationship with his kids.

#i love making fun of him but he is like. Very Explicitly Not a Deadbeat Dad lol #WHY DID I WRITE SO MUCH AGAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN #CHILCHUCK I AHTE EYOUUUUUIUUU #WHY DOES HE DO THIS TO ME....#EDIT: 'i thought the deadbeat dad stuff was a joke do ppl actually think that?' YES thats why i made this post 😭😭 bc ive seen ppl genuinely #say that hes a bad dad/husband!#L.txt #dungeon meshi #chilposting #long post #chilchuck #chilchuck tims

Thinking about the time I commented on a fanfic saying it was one of the most in character works I’d ever read and they replied back with a thank you telling me they never actually saw the show, fascinating interaction

Unexpected Guests Chapter 10, Act Two: Page 4

First / Previous / Next

Gaster may have shown his face again, but Undyne's more than ready to put a boot right through it--and the wall too...

I've said it before, I'll say it again, even if it's difficult to get right I always enjoy drawing Undyne's action poses! It gave me a good reason to revisit my volumes of fullmetal alchemist for inspiration, even if that meant staying up way too late one night XD

I hope you'll look forward to the next update, coming Oct. 19th!

#undertale #undertale comic #unexpected guests comic #undyne (undertale)#w. d. gaster #why yes i did deliberately leave it on that cliffhanger XD
