1 - Kitchen Heroes - Talis Kimberley 

So this one definitely ended up first because there was a bit in April, as it started to become clear we were really in for a long haul, where I just sort of listened to it on repeat in a fugue-like state as self care. It’s interesting seeing what songs people say really captured the mood for 2020 for them, this is absolutely one of mine. The general sentiment of building the people around you up when the world falls apart with skills like cooking and offering up hospitality sure got me as we were running around dropping off cakes and pesto and herbs on people’s doorsteps in the middle of a pandemic.

Also like. Listen. It has really, really good lyrics.“'Cause it's the stock and the cellar and the hearth and the hive / Will decide who falls and who survives” is the most metal possible way to say “Maybe you should have people with skills other than just fighting on your so-called ‘apocalypse team’” and I love it.

The other day there was a problem with my printer and everything I googled was like “if it has this error you need to call a professional you can’t fix it yourself” I took it apart and found a paperclip had just fallen inside, put it back together and became confident that I could survive a zombie apocalypse on my own.

It absolutely looks sketchy as hell. But if you’re nervous and want to check, just go to amazon.com directly (don’t click the link, type it in) and log in from there to make sure everything’s fine.

56. When they were a child, what did your character want to be, or think they were going to be, when they grew up?

Hmmmmmmm......

75. If your character had the chance to rename the party/give the party a name, no questions asked, what would it be? 

Oh gods, don’t let her name the party it would be horrible. Something like, the Badass Gang, or the Furious Five.

98. What advice would your character give to a younger version of themselves?

I know who you are referring to but I like this sentence out of context, like your oven is a temperamental fiendish creature that has to be managed by humans that have pacts with it.

Actually I’ve used your oven that’s just accurate isn’t it?

When I was in middle school I took a class where in order to demonstrate we’d learned how to effectively use Powerpoint, we were supposed to research and put together a short presentation on a “controversial topic”

Other kids in my class did them on everything from politics to religion to healthcare, tackling some fairly deep stuff for middle school. 

just wait till we visit Ditto’s home forest, you’ll have 147 new names at once
