Absolutely insane that the only modicum of sexual desire Riz ever expressed was for the sexy rat

Since it's coming up on the first anniversary of FH: Junior Year, I've been thinking about that hypothetical (probably unlikely) fourth season, and I really think it should be set during the Bad Kids' High School Reunion. Especially after MisMag 2, I feel like the storytelling opportunities just compound if the Intrepid Heroes had the space to let the Bad Kids' circumstances change more drastically than they would if they did a Senior Year or even a Homecoming.
Like, you could totally still have the first episode set in their Senior Year, and have it be on their Graduation Day. The Bad Kids could have all of their sweet, sentimental moments that you'd want to see (while also setting up the season's Big Bad, ala The Seven) and have the six of them (Fig crashes the Grad Party) take a group picture photo.
All of them are filled with so much hope and aspirations before hard cutting to ten years later and meet all of them in their late twenties (thirty for Fabian), and they are doing... not horribly, but we've seen what Spyre's like for teen adventurers. What's it like for a bunch of adults who used to or still do adventure??
How much have the Bad Kids grown? How much have they backslid into their old ways? How much do they keep in touch, and who are the ones who are still closest after high school?
How does Fig feel about getting older and maybe losing some of that teenage rebellion? How does Kristen deal with actually having a congregation that's counting on her? How often does Gorgug think about killing his new boss, Arthur Aguefort? How exhausted is Adaine in the midst of the Wizard equivalent of a Doctorate (and her mother still evading her and Aelwen)? How badly does Riz need this reunion because adventuring without his best friends just isn't the same? AND most importantly...
How many divorces is Fabian Aramais Seacaster on, and why is it two?

First art of 2025 and it's me getting sappy as FUCK about Riz and Penny.
Been watching the campaign of the Seven Maidens while at my GF's place over New Years. The more I see Penny the more i just want to see her and Riz interacting, because so much about his worry over her makes perfect sense once i see her fleshed out character.
You KNOW that boy was absorbing her personality, these little anxiety rogues are good friends and I like to think she says he's not allowed to grow any bigger because she always wants to be able to pick him up and swing him around (And she's one of the very few people he likes to picked up and swung around by).
Extremely good sappy energy, your honour i love them.
You get clean line and underlined version cause @dullgecko liked the coloured underlines

I love a good class swap au and because they have been on my mind and won’t get off it recently here is some of my favourite class swaps and how they change the bad kids early story’s.
Artificer Gorgug - he got his rage under control much earlier in life meaning he wasn’t as scared to break things smaller than him. This lead him to watching and helping his parents a lot more with there tinkering. When it came time to join Aguefort he did not feel forced into being a barbarian due to his rage and became an artificer.
Paladin Kristen - not much change her except she’s not the chosen of Helio (probably still favoured by him but not the chosen one) which means that so much less pressure is put on her. I also think that she would start questioning her faith sooner not having the entire church’s focus on her.
Monk Adaine - her anxiety issues where a lot worse in this version (sorry Adaine I don’t see a way in you changing from wizard without bad things happening) so bad that she couldn’t even cast spells. Not surprisingly her parents are not happy and force her to mediate and trance most of her time. Eventually she manages small arcane workings through intense focus (Ki). After failing to get into hudol even worse than in canno she joins Aguefort as a monk.
Rouge Fabain - his training was just one more thing put onto Cathilda’s job list. She takes his training seriously, training him how to fight like a pirate causing him to become a rouge (with the swashbuckler subclass later)
Sorcerer riz - one simple change here, being born with the shadow cat in his system causes some of her magic to be infused into him. Shadow sorcerer Riz is just as sneaky as rouge Riz if not more as most of his spell are focused on infiltration and support (misty step and invisibility are his main two)
Ranger Fig - after her tiefling nature shows itself her parents don’t have a massive fight and somehow resolve it peacefully (Sandra-Lynn had told Gilear fig might not be his way earlier in Figs life). this causes her family to be a lot more stable and results in Fig asking there mum to train her rather than locking herself in a room with her guitar.
Ooo i love these.

If fantasy high goblins also originated in the feywilds, then lived primarily in the mountains of chaos and then started coming to solace, given that Sklonda seems to be a second generation immigrant (when asked says she's from bastion city, likely born and raised there) and Pok (I believe) is a first generation immigrant (might be misrememberin), chances are there is very little left of fey related cultural knowledge by that point, or maybe it's just disconnected from its original source (for example giving out full, true names is a big no-no, but it's considered a cultural/manners thing, without the immediate fey connection). The magic, while diluted over generations, does carry on and with it certain beliefs and behaviours (being careful around promises and gifts)
What I'm saying is, Riz, having little to no reason to pay attention to other people's contracts, might not be aware that contracts are not in fact all magically binding. Him or his mother being involved in one just makes them so and that's all he knows until idk Gilear gets scammed again by someone breaking a contract or something like that idk

Thinking so deeply about Evan basically going "i wanted to live in a magical treehouse with the three of you forever" and the way it made me feel the exact same way as I did when I heard the "everyone will find someone that matters more to them than you" quote out of context from Fantasy High (i still havent even seen it i really need to). It speaks so deeply to me as an aroace person in a way that i cant fully explain. I'm never going to have a family in the way that is expected, and to me it feels so incredibly likely that everyone I know and love will have someone else to go back to, some other better, realer, relationships to fulfill. Having those childish dreams in your highschool years where you're so sure that all of your friends are going to be by your side forever, and that they're always going to be the same people with the same interests (like how Evan placed them all into neat distinct categories of sports and shadows and sparkles and pink) because you're so scared that everything is changing and before you know its going to be gone. And you know that once that's gone for you, you might never find anything like it again, because you're fundamentally different, maybe even fundamentally broken, and maybe that's okay because your friends deserve something you can't really give them.

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.
This act would make constitutional amendments to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.
Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!
ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.
This only takes a few minutes!
Not unreality, not a joke: I have never posted such a thing before here but- Please do this one for whatever good it might result in.
168,428 signed out of 175,000. Just 6,572 to go!
Yesterday, over a thousand signatures were added. Today, a few hundred. Keep boosting this, maybe send this to someone with a lotta followers, share the link on other platforms, encourage others to do the same.
We're 96% of the way there. C'mon, just a little further.

for my followers in the states—please vote. “boycotting” an election is not a viable strategy to enact any meaningful change besides clearing the way for some truly horrific people to get into positions of power. we know how bad it got last time. now imagine the sheer damage that could be done now with a precedent.

Twenty years ago, February 15th, 2004, I got married for the first time.
It was twenty years earlier than I ever expected to.
To celebrate/comemorate the date, I'm sitting down to write out everything I remember as I remember it. No checking all the pictures I took or all the times I've written about this before. I'm not going to turn to my husband (of twenty years, how the f'ing hell) to remember a detail for me.
This is not a 100% accurate recounting of that first wild weekend in San Francisco. But it -is- a 100% accurate recounting of how I remember it today, twenty years after the fact.
Join me below, if you would.

but on the real though, here is your guide to assyrian rice preparation from your friendly neighborhood assyrian:
- start wanting rice. (or, if you are traditional, simply recognize your constant desire for rice.)
- measure out two cups of rice. then one more. then two more. then another. this seems fine. you love rice. there is no way that this will backfire on you.
- remember that your great-great-uncle’s recipe says it should be soaked overnight.
- become consumed with despair.
- decide to soak it for half an hour instead, acknowledging that the final product will be inferior and anger your ancestors but will still satisfy your now almost-overwhelming need for rice to be inside your body much faster.
- remember that you should have set the water to boil when you soaked the rice. goddammit.
- once the water boils, put the rice in until it is half-cooked. the eyeballing or intuitive method is less effective than a timer but that’s how your aunt does it so you feel compelled to meet her standards.
- now that the rice has fluffed up, realize how much rice six dry cups really is. holy shit. you’ve fucked up immeasurably.
- take a minute to dwell upon your failings.
- grease a baking dish with butter. this will never be as elegant as you want it to and your fingers will get greasy, but the slightly shameful, self-indulgent joy of licking your fingers afterwards will make up for it.
- pour the rice into the dish. wonder immediately if you actually buttered the dish beforehand and if you’ve just fucked up.
- melt approximately one thousand pounds of butter in the microwave and pour it over the rice, pondering your imminent death from rapid-onset arterial clogging. put a small pat of butter on the top to properly gild the lily.
- put your pan into the oven, which you have absolutely preheated after your previous lack of foresight. shake the rice once or twice while it bakes to make sure the butter is well distributed. resist the impulse to climb into the oven with the rice. for the last ten minutes, sit next to the oven and count the seconds until it’s done.
- remove the dish from the oven. shed a tear or two at the perfection laid before you. if you are dining with others, this is the time to serve the rice while making passive-aggressive statements about how oh no, you don’t need any help, you just made dinner all by yourself, you can serve everyone as well. (this is still fun if done alone, but optional.)
- CONSUME THE RICE.
- realize that you have eaten half of the dish in one sitting. no matter how much rice you made, this will always happen.
- put the leftovers away, if there are any, and enjoy a cup of chai while marveling at the amount of food you have just eaten. if possible, fall asleep in an armchair, sitting up, head tilted slightly back, like a grandpa.
- for the rest of the evening, think fondly of how much rice you have in the fridge now and how many meals it will supplement, refusing to acknowledge that you will almost certainly eat the rest of it in a few hours for a midnight meal.
i really played myself with this post huh. every time it gets a note i start wanting rice.
for anyone who wants it, here is my family’s actual recipe for assyrian baked rice:
- 1lb / approx. 2 ⅓ cups basmati rice (any long-grain rice will do)
- 3 tbsp salt
- 8 tbsp / 1 stick butter (you can reduce this if you don’t want to have a heart attack)
Put the rice in a pot and cover it in cold water and salt. Let it soak overnight. (If you don’t have the time to soak it, rinse the rice with cold water until it runs clear.)
Edit: The reason you want to soak basmati and other aromatic rice before cooking is to preserve more acetylpyrroline, the compound that gives aromatic rice its characteristic scent and flavor. Soaking rice allows the grains to absorb water, which reduces the cooking time, which means less time for the acetylpyrroline to cook off. It’ll still taste pretty good if you can’t do this, but you don’t want “pretty good”, you want mind-blowing, so for that perfect flavor you’ll want to soak your rice overnight. The soaking process also washes away the layer of starch on the outside of the rice, which allows the grains to separate rather than sticking together; this is why you want to rinse your rice thoroughly if you don’t have time to soak it.
Preheat your oven to 325°.
Boil three quarts of water in a separate pot. Once it’s at a fast boil, drain the rice and add it to the water. Boil for 5-7min or until one grain tastes half-cooked, but not soft. Pour the rice into a colander and rinse with cold water.
Edit: This step also helps get rid of any remaining starch on your grains, for perfectly separated rice. If your colander or strainer has large holes, you can put a paper towel/cheesecloth/clean dishcloth on the inside in order to drain your rice. Pour carefully if you’re using a paper towel, though, and put a bowl underneath your colander; I once lost a heartbreaking amount of rice when my paper towel got oversaturated and tore open.
Liberally grease the bottom of your baking pan with some of your butter. Pour the rice on top. Melt the rest of the butter in the microwave and pour on top of the rice.
Bake for 45min. (If you like, cover the rice for part or all of the baking time, but I find it gets less crispy on top if you do this.) Shake the pan a couple times during baking to ensure that the butter distributes throughout the entire dish.
Eat.
Serves four. Can easily be scaled up if needed (or down, but why would you do that?). Best enjoyed with a nice cup of chai.

Lol it’s all ‘we should center the voices of the victims of Imperial core’ till people here realize that this has to be a sustained effort that would need the same energy from beginning to end, no matter how many days, months or years go by. Really crazy that just when so many Gazans are on the site trying to reach out to us, Palestine seems to be falling out of relevance because the coverage of protests in the imperial core has begun to die down
I laugh but it is terrifying how American hegemony works that we can track it in real time through the dwindling of donations to gfms across the platform. Gazan families want to talk to us about all that they have lost, at great costs to themselves so that they can get some much needed help, and what they find instead, is an allyship that is easily influenced by a hegemony where western voices speaking up about any of this matter the most, and when that dies down, they struggle to find a sympathetic ear, resulting in the support being whittled away to almost nothing right in front of their eyes.
You are really only proving that zionists were right when they said that people would eventually forget and stop caring. It is going to be 11 months of GENOCIDE- how does it not galvanize us to speaking up MORE? I don't know how you all are not realizing that should a time come when we truly stop talking about Palestine, we would stand complicit in normalizing these crimes against humanity!
So please don't stop talking!! Don't let Palestine fall out of relevance, the second western media stops talking about it in the mainstream. And please, please boost and donate to the fundraisers.
My friend, Siraj ( @siraj2024 ) is struggling to get steady donations for the past 2 months. Recently with his extended family getting displaced due to the violence of the IOF, his fundraiser is now having to support FIVE FAMILIES belonging to his married siblings and parents instead of just the one. I cannot overstate how urgently he needs these funds right now.
He needs to get to 65k by Monday, but is currently only at $61,524 CAD
He managed to get $248 CAD in 12 hours and this is terrifying to him!!
Please keep sharing and donating. Siraj and every other Gazan need your support now more than ever.

Can we boost this one until it reaches the Oklahoma City Tumblrites? This seems like something this website could rally and solve. Help save all this genetic information? I messaged them to offer to consult with the entymology lab near mine to see if they could store the bugs with us, but they are VERY far away and would have to drive long distance to us.
