for real, though, why do recipes consistently tell you to use less herbs and spices in than you should. fuck your “two cloves of garlic,” fuck your “half teaspoon of cinnamon,” and you can absolutely go to hell with your “dash of black pepper”

I’m pretty sure that the only time I’ve ever actually managed to overseason food was when working with balsamic vinegar, which is the most overpowering motherfucker of a sauce known to man

i appreciate the energy and anger in this post, which is righteous and just

A friend once tried to replicate my burrito bowl recipe from the same online link I used and was upset it didn’t come out as flavorful, so I had to tell him to imagine that every online recipe is written by a midwestern white lady who thinks ketchup is spicy and adjust the spices accordingly. He nailed those burrito bowls next time.

“ship what you want” when used correctly: it’s okay to ship two characters who haven’t interacted that much in canon but you think look cute together. Use your imagination! Additionally, there’s no shame in self-insert. All in all, have fun!

You fucking demons: abuse/pedophilia/incest is ok because it’s fictional uwu

@kiittyhands made an excellent addition to this post that I was going to make myself but I was at school when I was thinking about it.

THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WRITING AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP AND SHIPPING AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP.

writing an abusive relationship does not inherently mean that the author approves of the dynamics. writing abusive relationships responsibly is acceptable and even encouraged.

SHIPPING AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP, however, is a whole nother story. by shipping an abusive relationship, you are then condoning the abuse. shipping is rooted in approving of the dynamics of the relationship.

writing≠shipping.

Okay, I was worried at first because I write abusive relationships, but one million percent do NOT support and/or ship them. It’s just a part of my writing, and I always have a happy ending where the abused character leaves the abuser and finds someone worthy of them, so yeah. Writing and shipping are two majorly different things.

ok i made a post about the Dal heat3 results before but since then i calmed down a little

  • downside: we’ve lost leander kills, so what even is the point. also we made usnk advance over them… i. i will just not even comment on that, like you wouldn’t wanna hear it, it’s not nice
  • ray of hope: we still have fatal error, bence, szekér gergő, and actually joci to bring some justice (i didnt prefer his song at all but the more i hear it the better it gets and he killed it live) and i mean i also like some others but they probably don’t even have a chance so i’m not getting attached again
  • conclusion: our jury sucks, and im disappointed but not surprised

But I liked Leander Kills. I was bumping their song for days.

So unfair.

For all of Snowflame’s controversial opinions on controlled substances and their distribution, I feel like if Snowflame was involved in politics he’d garner a strong following based on his support for easy-access healthcare and socialized medicine.

ok so not really active on this blog anymore but still lurking in the shadows - and still love y’all to pieces, Kostya as well!

but just wanted to pop in and make a post about this as I know I will reach a large crowd fast:

should we not all agree to block or at least totally ignore this fancy triumph bouquet account? we will get absolutely nothing out of commenting on her stuff but she gets a huge kick out of it every time she gets us riled up - it’s what she’s after! so if we just ignore her the mean posting won’t be any fun anymore

so shouldn’t we agree? try and tag your Mel blog pals on this post to spread the word and get this nightmare over with

I am so sick and tired of her weak arguments and brainless perseverance
