I sell seashells on your seashore.

honest-to-god, this smells like a pumpkin spice latte

it smells sweet

this smells…horrifying

it smells like something that should not be consumed by humans. it smells like a jack-o-lantern that’s rotted after four days on the front porch

and it tastes…it tastes…

so, there are good ways to make something pumpkin-flavored, around this time of year. pumpkin spice is fine in a latte or dessert, but for pasta or soup, you go savory - onion, garlic, salt and pepper, and you’ve got yourself a decent meal!

but this…

I don’t know if I can finish eating this. I was barely able to start eating it, because the smell is so nauseating, putting it in my mouth feels wrong.

it’s salty, but also horribly sweet, and tastes strongly of cinnamon and nutmeg. when you take a bite, at first it tastes like nothing - but a few chews in, you can feel the awful sticky-sweet spice residue taking up residence in your mouth.

I hate this!

what malicious focus group told nissin that this was a good idea? how many people tried this product and thought it was good enough to put on shelves?

why does it have sugar, brown sugar, and sucralose in it? wasn’t one enough, you sick bastards?

no. no way.

fuck everything about this

if they wanted it to be a dessert, why did they make it salty! why did they add a small amount of onion and garlic, and turmeric, and paprika!

a dessert ramen, I could have handled! but this was a normal ramen, with sugar and artificial sweetener added!

the absolute worst part

is that the whipped cream actually improves the taste and texture significantly

is it good now? absolutely not

but is it borderline edible?

And like there was no permanent cast, all these celebrities seem to have gotten a scene or part of a scene to do (i’m not sure exactly, I did not ever watch Quibi and thus haven’t seen this yet), and then they just… recreated it as best they could. At home. Under quarantine.

So like, you had Jennifer Garner in a blanket cape playing Princess Buttercup AND the Booing Old Woman with a crowd comprised entirely of stuffed animals:

Or Taika Waititi paying Westley off a badly-drawn Inigo on a piece of cardboard held in front of someone’s face:

And it’s all just delightful.

But my absolute favorite part of this thing that I’ve sadly never seen but assume is probably absolutely hilarious and a treasure and I want to find it some day and watch the whole thing… is that Carey Elwes is in it.

As Prince Fucking Humperdink.

A Baccano fanart in 2020? Yes please.

Just look around: A housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done.

So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs? It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business.

Here’s the general art style Chinese mountains are drawn in:

And here’s how some of them actually look:

And here’s some at the Colorado National Monument.

And these ones are in central China near Song Shan. I don’t know anything about the geology, but they look like the earth was stacked like pancakes and then turned in its side. They’re fantastic!
