The Witch Of Babbling (blog thread)

i'm trying to backup my tumblr but it keeps getting stuck after a certain number of posts and it's super annoying

 

Anyway I was watching Hogfather again to get into the christmas spirit and i get so annoyed at the people that say Death's speech about belief at the end is about faith or religion. I can see the argument for it being about general-terms faith, but not necessarily religious faith, and the people in the comments going "take THAT, atheists!!!" over it in the comments section just tire me to no end but like. this is heavily reminiscent of all the "you HAVE to be RELIGIOUS to be KIND AND JUST AND MERCIFUL if you're not RELIGIOUS (and by that we mean some flavor of Christian) you are a TERRIBLE EVIL PERSON" and this is so not what the speech is about?????????? Honestly, fuck religion, but I'm going to be merciful and kind and just because if I'm not, these things aren't going to exist. I have to make them, just like I have to make the whole Santa song and dance to my baby cousins and will have to do it for my children!!! shut up about jesus!!! this is the most obvious reading of the thing and people still manage to fuck it up!!!

 

anyway not to be a goth or anything but Death is my favorite DW character, followed by Granny Weatherwax and Sam Vines. i wonder what this says about me (it says i have good taste)

 

My gyn, a fool: im switching you from oral contraceptives to the nuvaring because of your problems remembering to take the pill every day at the same time. With the nuvaring you will only have to remember to switch it once every 21 days

My ADHD ass: forgets to take the damn thing off for almost two weeks past the date I was supposed to

Thank God this isn't our only bc method because lmao

 

Im wearing acid green liner today n i look cute. Idk why i never wear Color when I have literally twenty thousand rainbow eyeshadows

 

Which leads me to the next issue: I hate how you cant have a decent conversation about the makeup industry without either the terfs or the eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man!!! crowd taking over. Nuance????? In my feminist discourse????????

 

I want a new backpack and big fuckoff headphones before I start med school but I also need to save money because tuition is absurd. Why is capitalism

 

Fried egg... cheesee.... good...................

 

My food is not pretty but it is good

 

no that looks mouthwatering I want some too QuQ

 

Also it probably kills some food snob dead that I put a ton of garlic and onion powder on my bechamel sauce but I just cannot help it. Food without garlic and onion just tastes... lacking

 

@IvyLB it's super easy to make!! I can tell you how I made it if you want

 

I'm watching a 70s version of Persuasion during dinner and I'm sort of impressed with the hairstyle on their Anne. Very massive, very unregency, absolutely a product of the 70s.

 

I would be super excited!!!

 

It's croque madame! I made bechamel sauce (butter, flour, milk, salt and pepper, nutmeg, onion and garlic powder) and then used it to make a ham and cheese sandwich (spread it after the butter). Then I fried the sandwich in... more butter, and put it in a oven-safe dish, and covered it with the remaining bechamel and more cheese. Then put it under the broiler until it was edible and fried an egg to put on top. Very easy to do but being more involved than simply a sandwich makes it feel more like an actual meal? Also I can say that I can make a staple of French cuisine when people try to be snobs around me

 

If you want to be super extra, you can soak the bread in a beaten egg before frying it

 

that sounds so delicious omg

 

Hnng the shop scene in this adaptation has Wentworth make enormous puppy eyes to Anne and hnnnnnnnnnng I just love it!!! I love those emotionally constipated idiots!!!! I wanna make something like that (an Austeny AU) for Idrilla and Cullen but sadly Idrilla has no second suitor that appears upstanding and respectable but is actually skeevy and untrustworthy. I mean, there's Nira, but she now hates Idrilla's guts and is an ex. And Oindys is also an ex, and he is not skeevy! In. The Bad Jane Austen Suitor way at least.

 

Let Me Yell About My Twenty Thousand Lavellans

 

i really kinda want to make a Jealousy Subplot in my Giant Overly Involved Slow Burn Romance Dragon Age Fanfic That I Do Not Have The Time Or Ability To Write because I watched two persuasions and a sense and sensibility, but I usually hate this in fanfic because uuuuugh, but it would add even more angst to the emotionally illiterate romance dance, and i love angst, and it's hard to be a bad writer and also a slut for longing stares across the room that only just fail to hide the immense heartbreak one feels
