DEFACE THE IMAGE OF MAN AND WOMAN

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.

Happy birthday to this iconic poll

can i get a transcript on this fucking video

shaggy: “hey scwoob what is yer favorite things to do on tha weekends?” scooby doo: SNIFFSNIFFSNIFNFFNISNSRUHUHHUHHHUHHSNIFFSNIFFRUHHUHHRRUHRRUH

Where do you fucking find this shit

What the transcript fails to express here is that Shaggy sounds like he is dying and crying and that the Scotby doo response is a saturated, deeply disturbing audio that ses to come from directly behind your shoulder no matter how far the speaker is and is WAY longer than the written version.

this is a masterpiece I’m glad this was on my dashboard

This person hated videodrome so much they forgot their gender

… I just realised that some of my mutuals are Too Young to get flashbacks from this. I hate the internet.

Robot Unicorn Attack is from 2010. The window for ‘ancient’ keeps getting smaller. Anyway, All your base are belong to us.

I’m a simple person, i see the delightful duo that are flamboyant and nerdy Erasure, and reblog to share the love. Whether you discovered them via a scrubs episode or a flash animation, seek out more. It’s all wierd and wonderful.

every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...

There are many fun reasons to have a character avoid using guns, but I think "this otherwise-awesome fighter is a really terrible shot" is an underappreciated one. Yes, they're available in my setting and would work against my enemies. No, I don't have a moral code against them or a power that makes them redundant. I just can't aim for shit!

In general IMO the more badass and hypercompetent a character is, the more they're enriched by having one skill they're just absolutely hopeless at. Terrible shot, terrible liar, terrible dancer, no poker face, no sense of direction, can't drive, can't swim, can't cook, can't read, always broke, always late, always falls for a certain trick...
