the americans eating burgers jokes are my fav thing ever cause we do eat burgers so god damn much. when i made the hard decision to cut out red meat from my diet to keep my hyperlipemia in check i mourned for weeks the fact that i could no longer eat burgers with wild abandon & that i had to be careful now. it’s been 2 years and i still miss burgers. it’s like keeping an italian from eating parmesan or keeping a girl with a septum piercing from having kombucha. it’s inhumane

copypasting my extensive wine headcanons here in case anyone out in the world wants to adopt them
Pink: this is just juice of a plant. Like some soft drinks, there is a small amount of caffeine, but for the most part, it’s basically the same as apple or grape juice. Feminine drink.
Orange: structurally this is identical to kombucha, in that it is a nonalcoholic (or at least so negligibly alcoholic that it doesn’t count) beverage that is made via fermentation. But its cultural place is akin to ginger ale in that it is just a soft drink people drink when not drinking alcohol and that it has a reputation of soothing stomachs. This is the go-to beverage of people of any gender looking to have a sober drink.
Yellow: the default masculine drink. Made from lavis grains, it’s beer. It’s essentially beer. About the same strength as beer, drank from pint glasses, steins, and once Roshar invents cans it will be drank from those as well. Customary beverage to enjoy during duels. Unlike beer from Earth, people very rarely drink this to get any more drunk than a pleasant buzz.
Auburn: traditionally made from fermented simberries, but can be made from any fruit that when fermented ends up with between 10% to 15% abv, this is the default feminine drink. It really functions almost identically to wine on Earth. It is drunk from glasses analogous to Earth wine glasses. There is a large culture of auburn wine snobbery. Though it is concretely a feminine drink, it is not unheard of for men who are a touch effeminate to sneak a glass or two of it.
Red: you’d have to be insane to drink red wine on its own. It is used near exclusively in mixed drinks as the alcohol base to a fun fruity beverage. Mixed often with pink wine, fruit juices of all kinds, and occasionally wild card picks like sow’s milk or Shin creations such as “coffee”, it is there to provide alcohol to women who cannot stand the taste of alcohol.
Sapphire: wines of red strength or stronger are considered liquors, and sapphire wine is the unequivocal Man’s Wine. It is quite strong, but there is still a veneer of drinking it for the flavor. It is made of the same grains as yellow wine, but distilled instead of fermented. Traditionally drunk on the rocks out of what an Earthling might call a whiskey tumbler.
Blue: this stuff is not as strong as violet wine, but still quite strong. Its closest Earth analogue is a strong rum, made out of a sugarcane-like plant that naturally carries fruity undertones. This is the usual alcohol base drunk in mixed drinks by men; a popular drink will have two types of blue wine mixed with a couple flavors of fruit juice for a Vorin-friendly Mai Tai. It can also be drunk out of shot glasses as a party beverage, but this is less common.
Violet: violet wine is a gender neutral beverage, allowed to be drunk by both men and women. This is because the creators of Vorinism understood the necessity of all humans to have a surefire way of getting drunk quickly. It is roughly analogous to 100 proof vodka in both taste and creation, although in rare cases some violets can reach the 130 proof heights of absinthe. It is made from blackthorn berries, which on Roshar can get distilled to death like potatoes can on earth but like i dunno how that's possible i dont know jack shit about plants. sorry. This makes them perfect for creating the strongest liquors out of. “Glasses” of violet wine, drunk at feasts as a power move, are a mixture of violet wine, blackthorn juice, and lots of water. It is traditionally drunk hot, and nobody likes it like that but everybody pretends to. Nine times out of ten, violet wine is drunk out of a shot glass. It is known for tasting bad. Occasionally, it can be found in mixed drinks in the place of red or blue wine.

Glass Onion Things 3rd Rewatch
Blanc on the discord call: "The last thing I need is a vacation" Blanc to Miles when he offers him Jared Leto's Hard Kombucha: "Well I AM on vacation"
I'm sorry I know it's old news, but everyone falling about coughing and spluttering with the shot and Blanc's polite "ahem". I would say Whiskey is the most subdued next to Blanc?
"The question isn't why did he invite her, it's why did she show up?" Noooo, I really think the question is why was she sent an invite.
The joke "piceshite" about the docks I don't know if people picked up on it immediately and that was the joke that it went right over their heads but as a Scottish gal Piece eh shite had me absolutely in stitches
Also why would he assume it was a Banksy? Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Banksy famously very anti-capatalist? Like didn't he have one of his most famous paintings shredded immediately after auction or something?
Someone find that tweet that talks about how rich people are more likely to pursue the arts because they have the liberty of time because they're fuckin rich, and apply that to Miles knowing how to play guitar (or at least a bit of it).
WHY IS THE GUITAR THE ONLY MOMENT WE SEE THE BIRDIE FACADE TRULY DROP? Is it an acting choice? Is it a gag? Also when he drops the guitar that Paul wrote blackbird onto the sand (scratches, bumps, dings omfg) nobody says anything, but when Helen takes that fuck off mace to the piano the first comment is "that belonged to Liberace". Shows they don't care about the origins really, just who does what with it
Watching Claire be soooo uncomfortable with that Miles hug, watching Miles be soooo uncomfortable with that Duke hug, watching Duke be soooo uncomfortable with that Whiskey hug, watching Miles and Lionel both be uncomfortable in their strange 4 millisecond greeting.
Someone said in the tags of one of my other posts that Derol represents Covid and I'm just OBSESSED with that. BUT more obsessed with the thought that Derol is the epitome of lockdown. He's what normal, everyday fuckers like you n me went through. Drinking, smoking, "going through some stuff", being alone. Sometimes we would comment on what the elite were up to, but mostly we were in the background to their extravagant parties. But in the end, when the Glass Onion is exploding, Blanc sits and smokes with him, because they're just two dudes who went through hell in lockdown, watching something funny.
Miles walking away from the bags, shoves between Duke and Whiskey, putting his arm over Dukes shoulders (hilarious because the size difference) and an arm round Whiskey's waist, but Birdie then jumps between Miles and Whiskey and bumps her out of the way
Why when Whiskey is walking along the slats is she purposely walking on the gravel between the wood? Why does she give Duke into trouble for also standing on the wood? Why does Duke then correct his feet to stand on the gravel?
The Chakra that we can see are absolutely wild, like holy shit
Birdie - Sacral - Sexuality and creativity
Whiskey - Heart - Love and healing
Andi - Root - Basic Trust - Survival
Blanc's bumbling Southern gentleman fool act is AMAZING. They all KNOW he's the world's greatest detective. But while he's bumbling up and down "oh my word it's full of stars!" He's being his own Glass Onion! He's hiding directly in plain sight
"Simple Children's Puzzles" MILES FACE babe he's the world's greatest detective
PREDEFINITE DETECTIVE. Prerequisite maybe? But even that doesn't make sense? Prominent?
BIRDIE GIVING IT THE SEXIEST CATWALK OF THE WORLD YES GIRL HOLY SHIT
Lionel and Claire 😏 you know? The fact that he's leaning right over her to see the laptop, and her dressing gown is off her shoulder but as soon as Birdie shows up they're leaving six feet for god
Benoit Blanc's little bathing suit with his little matching ascot and his little moccasins and it HAS POCKETS shut up he's the new Poirot shut up he's the new Sherlock that's fuckin Fred Jones.
PANCAKED. He's the only one to say pancaked, it intentionally sticks in your brain
DONG.
Claire and Lionel are the only "intellects" in the friend group. Like Claire is a politician and Lionel is a scientist, a lot more hangs on their words than Model and Twitch Streamer
Duke leaving his shit in the pool, firing his gun, wearing his speedos and throwing his macho man facade about. It's so gross it's amazing.
You never know when shits gonna go down is such a red herring in dukes relationship to the gun. It immediately made me think DUKE is going to shoot someone, or DUKE is going to be shot. Didn't realise that what Duke really needed was an Epipen
Peg why do you have a switchblade
Whiskey yawning while they talk about Birdie's accomplishments
"SOCCER MOM IN BEIGE" just kill her it's kinder holy shit
It's dangerous to mistake speaking without thought to speaking the truth, don't you think? TATTOO THIS ON MY BODY PLEASE
I'm assuming that Peg has been around for a while, seeing as Claire knows to say hello to her and that this meet up is an annual thing and what not, so the fact that Miles doesn't remember her name is hilarious. Also, THE RED SOLO CUP. Man took one look at Peg and thought "Freshman, beer pong"
SOCCER MOM IN BEIGE DRINKS ROOM TEMP WHITE HOLY SHIT MILES JUST KILL HER ITS KINDER
Benoit has some fucking incredible hand eye coordination, him catching the Klear was some spiderman shit
Blanc is the perfect POV to have the first half of Glass Onion play through. He doesn't have a clue. He's along for the ride, what he sees, we have seen. He asks questions and points out things that we would also want to know, like yeah, what is Klear and do we win a prize and why is the car on the roof?
I fully believe when Blanc left the room with the magazine of Birdie way way back in that scene, THATS when he solved Miles murder mystery.
Also his friends kinda seem to be having a great time watching Benoit fucking decimating Miles good time 😂
"I hired Gillian Flynn to write the whole thing -" "OooOoh she's quite gooood"
THE COIN! HE GOT THE COIN OUT

Yk what, I shall fancy you by asking about Idaho and Oregon. Tell me your head cannons about the two of them.
And I mean all of it.
Whether it's crazy, angsty, or something else, I. Don't. Care.
Give me passion for the specific things you love or give me nothing
Grabs you firmly by the shoulders. You have given me Power. STRAP IN FUCKERS!
I'll start with Oregon. Little warning now for weed nicotine alcohol and a small hunting mention i guess? Just in case <3
He's chill! He's cool, he's doing alright. In his own words "good, not great". He seems pretty tight with Washington, they're besties.
The West Coast really do scream "dysfunctional family dynamics" don't they?
(Aka, my three girlfriends West Coast boys, and yes, they smoke weed.)
Anyway, he's with Washington the most. That bit of them hanging out together alone while ignoring California's calls? Yeah, that's them all the time. Washington info dumps about tech and Oregon is a little book nerd who absorbs info (Powell's city of books) and it's a very good combo. They share local coffee shop and microbrew recs and go hiking they are!! Hiking bros!!! They are also couch locked high as fuck watching runbacks of 2004 Cartoon Network bros!!! That La Niña bond!!!
Definitely get very philosophical a lot in conversation, like Wash gets viscerally emotional over space stuff and cried over Spirit the rover being shut down (rip to the real ones i miss them all) and Oregon is like god yeah man human attachment to inanimate objects is so wild. They'll either talk about it for hours OR bounce between topics so stupidly fast they don't even remember why they're talking about what they are or how they got on the topic from where they started.
Sorry for talking abt them forever I just think they're best friends.
As I mentioned Oregon is a big book nerd, he likes nature, probably has a house plant problem (they are all named), he hikes, and HUNTS!
This mf bow hunts, drag this out of my cold hands. Gun too sure but BOW HUNT OREGON. Washington gets icked about blood and killing animals probably so Oregon goes alone. Or maybe with Alaska sometimes? I really love Alaska and the PNW getting along for some reason.
Or, he goes with Ida :)
Idaho is Built Ford Tough thats for fuckin sure, this man's a farmer. And he fishes. He unironically owns several dad joke fishing shirts and a women love me, fish fear me hat. I love him. He's pretty outgoing, he Wyoming and Montana are all fairly good pals, hunting buddies and football friends definitely. Sometimes Colorado is alright to hang with, mostly when Denver is a little quieter.
And in a similar fashion, he and Oregon will get into bitchy fights bc Oregon really is still centered around Portland. Married couple spats yk?
Honestly they're just like. Domestic? I guess? They'll go on weekend hunting trips, Idaho really likes to cook esp with game, Oregon likes to try and pair whatever they're eating with a beer if applicable. It's usually applicable, they're "it's past five pm so it's socially acceptable to have a beer now, right?" people. They definitely have a wicked sourdough starter. Oregon likes kombucha sometimes and Ida thinks it's a hell liquid. They go to fuckin Albertsons and bring back like eight things they didn't need.
I've got a hc I've mentioned somewhere before that the West Coast/PNW including Ida have horrific nicotine addictions, and that Ida goes straight for cigarettes or steals off Oregon, who vapes and has a Juul that they scratched their names into with a pin. They're like That couple.
Idk they're in a way like the country/city boy dynamic but also not? Like Oregon is a bit rough and tumble he isn't a pure city boy. And Ida is like not country per se, more game hunting fisher boy. But it's similar yk? A little bit
Their dates are CUTE, they got that weekend hunting trip, Idaho is land locked so Oregon takes him down the coast, or like to an obscure distillery for flight tasting. Otherwise they just do movie nights and nice dinners. Oregon has taken them hiking to a nice place to see stars and has re-info dumped information from Wash about the stars and stuff and Ida is like wow that's so neat, absolutely not looking at the stars he's looking at Oregon.
I could get into angst but maybe i save that for now since I'm talkin about them bein cute and happy and i want them to have that rn tbh
#oofda that's long aint it#i think about them too much#lune talks#wttt#wttsh#ben brainard#welcome to the statehouse#welcome to the table#when ppl ask me things#wttt idaho#wttt oregon#wttt california#wttt washington#i'd tag Montana Wyoming and Colorado too but they're so lightly mentioned#wttt shipping#wttt headcanons

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers ✨♡
Hiiii this is so cute and I just realized that @moonriseblueeyes also sent this to me in DECEMBER yikes sorry I didn’t see it till now ✌️
ok let’s see. I hope nobody’s expecting anything profound
Cheesecake. Forever and always my favorite dessert, and in the past 5 years I’ve been mastering how to make them. There is pretty much nothing more satisfying to me than seeing a cheesecake baking perfectly. (I say this while knocking on wood because I’m pretty sure there’s a god of cheesecake who WILL smite me down if I get too cocky. it has happened before.)
Audiobooks. I’m new to this because I’m suuuuuuper picky about narrators, but I have a fairly long commute every day and I was in a rut with podcasts so I’ve been giving audiobooks a chance and i’m really enjoying them! The Locked Tomb audiobooks are fucking incredible, and in January I listened to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein read by Colin Salmon and it was WONDERFUL.
Mable, my dog 💕 I dogs when I was little but they were all like, outdoor-only farm dogs. Mable is my first indoor dog and she’s an angel who’s never done anything wrong in her life.
Walking. ok hear me out. this is not a “oh i’m so healthy look at me speedwalk”. the past year or two i’ve been desperately trying to reconnect with the wild outdoorsy gremlin I was as a child, and the best way I’ve found to do that is by putting in An Outfit (crucial) (I was doing this in the winter too, and bundling up like a babushka was an absolute key part of the process) and just ~wandering around~ outside. its been a huge help for my mental health, AND i’m having fun. I’ve been jamming out to chappell roan and kate bush, and practicing my spanish, while spending time with my dog and getting sunshine? no downsides 😌
BEVERAGES I fucking love a good beverage. I work at a coffeeshop and we’re always workshopping new drinks, and we just got in this Forage Kombucha which so so yummy. I don’t drink alcohol very much, but I love that I’ve so many more beverage options! my sister is a really good mixologist and she made me this cocktail with vodka and lemon juice and raspberry jam?? and it slapped!! also I tried hot buttered rum for the first time on new years and have made it a personal challenge to find other hot beverages made better with spiced butter; so far the winners have been hot chocolate (to no ones surprise) and this dandelion detox tea that my mom got (though I think the butter probably cancels out the detoxifying properties lmao)

thanks for the tag jo @liamlawsonlesbian <3
star sign: aries sun, capricorn moon, virgo rising. being chill and normal was never an option.
favorite holiday: probably Halloween 💀 as someone who loves horror and is a recovering theatre kid, it's perfect. plus, i'm gay.
last meal: three twizzlers & a litre of ginger kombucha
current favorite musician: i've been listening to a lot of Wolf Alice and SASAMI recently.
last song listened to: 'No Girl So Sweet' (PJ Harvey)
(a tangent... but if any of my mutuals want to stalk each other on Spotify pls lmk...)
last movie watched: Talk to Me (2023) dir. Danny & Michael Philippou. i watched it on my flight and it was honestly a lot better than i anticipated. even though gore isn't typically my favourite, i was pleasantly surprised by how they managed to integrate it into a possession film. loved the grief-driven storylines, and the characters charmed me. rating: ☆☆☆☆
last tv show watched: Betty (HBO) !!! i have debilitating crushes on everyone from Skate Kitchen.
last book finished: Empire of Wild by Cherie Dimaline. it was assigned in one of my first year uni courses and i sped through it without really taking the time to read it properly. now that i have it's been rotting my brain non-stop. her use of simile is insane.
i also recently finished An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks. one of my all-time favourite authors and academics, would highly recommend this as a foray into 'medical' non-fiction.
last book abandoned: i don't think i've ever abandoned a book in my life, but i recently had to choke down this technical document about building codes that i can't be bothered to remember the title of.
edit: just remembered the absolute chore that was reading Outlawed by Anna North. i feel cheated and lied to by the cover because i love the cover, but the book is honestly unbelievably boring. i’m tired of the evangelical horse girl narrators, i had enough of those where i grew up. i did finish this because i hate quitting, but it tested my patience and made me feel like pulling my hair out.
currently reading: Milk Fed by Melissa Broder (for like the third time). this book is sooo weird and kind of gross, in the best way. it's definitely not going to appease everyone but i have a sick fascination with it and keep coming back. i've also been having a love affair with the cover design for a while now.
last thing researched for writing/art/hyperfixation: common apartment floorplans in Italy (if anyone has this info, hmu). i'm also in an internet sinkhole of background on the 2024 F2 grid and their respective karting histories.
favorite online fandom memory: when i was 15 i had public beef with a bunch of conservatives in a politician's comment section over pipelines and green policy and then said politician blocked me on every platform. this wouldn't be fandom related if not for the fact that i used my fan account to do all of this, so [redacted] had to search my cringe username multiple times... like omg are you a fan?
favorite old fandom you wish would drag you back in/have a resurgence: the euphoria that i felt being a part of the haikyuu fandom during quarantine will never be replicated, but i think about it every day.
favorite thing you enjoy that never had an active or big fandom, but you wish it did: i'm really into the original, morbid Grimm fairytales and wish that someone would produce a proper remake of Cinderella already. let the doves pick out the step sisters' eyes, cowards.
tempting project you don't have time for: this is a trick question because i always give into temptation regardless of whether i have time for it or not. i really want to do a series of deep-dive posts about track design and the 'architects' of f1... i've been fixated on it for a while now and haven't seen a lot of discussion about it, plus it seems like it would be fun to put all the research together :)
~ all the people i would tag have already posted, but pls do it if you'd like!

need you to know your username and that tag paragraph you left on a reblog one time have captivated me and that's why I followed. I know nothing about fermenting. I've spoken of you to my friends. tell me a fact about fermentation
I’m going to scream, this is my first ever ask and I’m so nervous!
Let’s see, a fact about fermentation.
There are too many so here’s a few that I find interesting 🤷♂️
SCOBY (the thing most commonly associated with kombucha) stands for (S)ymbiotic (C)ulture (O)f (B)acteria and (Y)east
Vinegar can also develop a SCOBY. However, instead of being called a SCOBY, it’s more typically referred to as a MOV - (M)other (O)f (V)inegar
Hot sauces can be fermented. Many famous hot sauces are fermented. And it’s generally agreed upon that fermentation hot sauces have a better blend of flavors.
If a bread had yeast in it it’s been fermented. The difference between regular bread and sourdough bread is that with the wild yeast some bacteria will also take root which helps give that nice tart taste!
Fermentation is just the process of having smaller microorganisms digest a food before you do. The most common fermenters are fungi and yeast, bacteria, mold, and enzymes.
All vinegar starts as alcohol
Even salamis and other dried/aged meats are fermented!
There’s so much more I could talk about, but these are a spread of facts that are neat!
#Saccharomyces cerevisiae#is the most common#bakers#and#brewers#yeast#it has over 9000 variant strains and all of them taste slightly different#I’ve used my knowledge of fermentation in my anthropology classes to help date a decomposing body simulation#I’m planning one of my thesis topics on the effects fermentation had on food preservation in different cultures#you can use fresh#live#whey from cheese or yogurt to make lemonade soda#all fermentation is about keeping microbes happy#fermenters can be cult-like with their farming and tending to their little buddies#even composting is a type of fermentation

“Arbor Square” is a goofy & introspective adult animated comedy series created by Eli Murphy and Stevie Maxwell. It follows Quinn and Jonathan, a pair of incompetent roommates-turned-baristas trying to make lives for themselves in the quirky titular borough of Arbor Square.
Quinn is a non-binary wild card who spends their free time getting up to (semi-legal) shenanigans!
Jonathan is a neurotic but soft-hearted lover boy who is often the only thing standing between Quinn and a prison sentence!
Their boss Cassian does his best to maintain order and drive up profits for Arbor Square Coffee & Kombucha, but he’s locked in a bitter and potentially steamy feud with Jessica, the manager of the Skybears coffee chain across the street!
Glenn, an eccentric hippie from a bygone era, is the cafe’s number one patron and rounds out the main cast!
Together this odd group will discover what it means to be neighbors in the age of wage work and late-stage capitalism >:)

'The One Where Knock Out Gets Away With Murder' one shot, but it's just Breakdown making Knock Out come to a farmers' market:
Knock Out enjoys driving a very expensive car for 2 hours to get there but her high heels do not survive the sprawling series of stalls laid out around weirdly technical unpaved paths, which are mix of muddy tyre tracks and rock.
There are geese for sale. They go and look at them and Knock Out goes 'if you actually want geese we could get a landscaper to make a pond,' and Breakdown makes her leave before she commits to thousands of dollars of garden improvement in the pursuit of noisy, angry birds.
Knock Out buys twelve bottles of local small batch gin and a case of some obscure microbrew. She texts Starscream and gets told she's become a giant stereotype. Starscream does not decline the gin though.
Breakdown is clearly interested in the handmade jewellery someone's hippy wife is peddling, but 'never has anywhere to wear it,' and 'doesn't need it,' and 'can you imagine me in that stuff?' Knock Out doesn't really like beaten copper leaves, steel rings and chunks of amber, but has never once asked herself if it's appropriate to wear whatever jewellery she feels like. Wild. Buy the fucking jewellery, Breakdown, before someone buys it for you.
Breakdown thought they'd get actual produce but they leave with extravagant purchases of cheese, pickles, preserves, fancy yoghurts, kombucha, smoked salt—smoked SALT?—booze, candy and weird accessories. Breakdown does get one box of fresh vegetables though. Mostly in self defence. Knock Out doesn't, because she lives on a diet of bougie cheese and cocktails that sometimes incidentally include fruit. Yes, she's a real doctor.
Knock Out drives home barefoot. Her stilettos need to be resoled. It's very annoying.
