(whatever pronouns, im not picky) gremlin spelling master and all around menice. ellysia(she/her) is here too, she an amateur author, if you have any requests feel free to send them to her and she'll see what she can do.

Probably should mention this here at some point considering I've mostly taken over this tumblr

Hi I'm mari

Used to be the host of our little system back in the day, El was host before me but she left for a while, then took over again and i left for a while, now we're both here together, but I've taken over as host again

She still uses this account too, but I'm the main one posting these days

I could just make my own account, but I don't really feel like it

Bread Instagram is INSANE

HOW ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THIS!!! HOW ARE YOU CELEBRATING. YOUR BREAD IS MISSING ITS BREAD!!!!! YOUR BREAD HAS NO BREAD IN YOUR BREAD!!!!

This guy says it has a “light and airy crumb” YEAH ILL BET!

@smallshrimphell​

Like what kills me is that this is actually pretty impressive. Working with high hydration dough is difficult on it’s own but at 106%!? And to work it just enough to develop the gluten so it doesn’t collapse while also keeping all the gas is hard. Timing the proof would have also been difficult. Looking at that crust they must have a really good oven set up as well. Hot as hell. Probably done in a preheated dutch oven.

And all in service... of this. The texture of the bread must be terrible. No fluffiness to it, all tough, thin strands of bread. Crust is probably lovely, but a crunchy dark crust is only nice when it covers lovely light, fluffy, soft bread. It’s the contrast of those textures that makes it work. I like an open airy crumb as much as the next bread maker but this is ridiculous.

Sometimes, things that are more work to make... are worse

This is none pizza left beef but homemade bread edition

None bread center crust center air

This isn't done for eating. This is done to see if you can do it.

This is the food Famine was serving at the Diner in Good Omens.

this thread is perfect

the x files is funny because at the time it was “progressive” or whatever to have the ultra-rational, levelheaded character be a woman

but it’s also a show where all the fucked up alien shit actually is real, so she’s just constantly wrong about everything

What’s funny is how often they’re both wrong. Mulder will be like “the victims all had their livers scooped clean out this is obviously the aliens escalating from cattle mutilation” and Scully will be like “don’t be silly Mulder this is clearly just a serial killer who’s really good with surgical tools” and then it turns out the actual killer is an immortal sewer man who comes out ever quarterly century to feast on human liver.

I cannot stress enough that this is literally the plot of an actual episode

Get ready for every blog run by an English speaking white girl to become absolutely intolerable when season 2 of good omens drops

I had an idea for a miraculous ladybug fanfic where chat noir, adrian, and Felix are all full on alters within the same system

It would have building trans fem adrian vibes and a full on female chat noir from the start

Lots of merichat goodness and ladien pinning

Make the love square even more unnecessary complex

The ideas are all rattling around in there I just need a solid kick in the ass to actual start writing it

something im noticing is the redditors are just commenting on everything via reblogs with reckless abandon. and its so funny bc thats how youre MEANT to use this fucking website but we've trained ourselves out of it somehow.

I feel like a fucking chimp raised in a lab let out into the wild and just doing shit without understanding wtf is going on because I was raised to click the button to get cookie

take my upvote. just take it.

Do whatever you want! Tumblr is free game. The only reason we DON'T talk in the reblogs is because tumblr USED to notify you every time someone added a text to your reblog and it was like. Annoying. So what people did is write their comments in the tags, where OP wouldn't get notified about it. But now it doesn't have to! So it's basically fine to do it.

Posts also used to indent with every new addition so they'd become totally unreadable after about 10 of them, but that was also changed. And an automatic "read more" button was added to long posts on your dash. Having to scroll for a super long time to get past a post with a lot of additions used to be a pain and a reason to not add text in the reblogs (certain posts that had extremely long images that forced you to scroll a long time were a popular form of prank and are still heavily referenced even though they can be more easily skipped now), but that's more or less fixed now, too. On the whole, people tend to add things in the notes for their specific followers or only appear on their blog. Things the original poster and other people might not know or care about but their own followers will. Whereas you add text in the reblog itself if you have something more relevant to add that you want to last more than one reblog. So, for example, on a post like "I'm always so unprepared when I travel", someone might add a tag like "omg like my lakehouse trip" or "my oc is like this" or just "same". Little stuff that they don't necessarily want to be added to the main post, but can be seen if you look through the notes and seen by the reblogger's followers. But someone adding like "Hey here's some tips on traveling for people who are bad at planning for trips!" would likely add it in a reblog, because that's something they want to be on more than just their own blog.

But, on the whole, it's more of a matter of personal preference and habits from days gone by than an official "etiquette". As long as you aren't harassing people or adding spam or reposting without permission, go nuts. It's a free-for-all.

blood is basically the most normal thing for a sword to hunger for. if a sword gained sentience and started asking me for blood i'd be like yeah i thought you might say that

Yeah it's when the sword starts to thirst of Dr pepper that you really have to worry

Ugh okay okay.... Picturing a tall girl with big brown curls... She likes videogames and nerd shit like gundams and manga... She's got a weird inferiority complex about her own interests, that's kind of embarrassing, hope she gets over that....

Yeah, I dunno, I don't see the appeal.

Picture a tall, pretty girl with fluffy brown hair. She loves video games and is really fucking good at them, and she likes Gundam and manga stuff. She's a little shy about her interests and has some self-esteem stuff going on, no big deal, easily flustered like that is cute. When she's not being shy, she's unafraid to speak her own mind and doesn't play games with words, no patience for idiots. She's funny and entertaining, has a talent for deadpan humor, and a very cute laugh when she doesn't keep the deadpan. She's got her own shit going on, but for how rough her life is, she's doing amazing. Also, she's hot enough that her selfies are thirst traps and she doesn't even realize it half the time.

That's you.

..... seems like a very generous interpretation of the facts
