Bittersweet but: Stumbled on a super cute YT channel, Cooking With Dog. A Japanese woman who goes by Chef cooks with her dog Francis, who until recently sat on the counter and "narrated" all the steps- I'm not sure Chef is ever shown speaking to the camera even in the off-set videos? Since I discovered one of the older videos (from ~2008 I think?) I saw comments mourning Francis's passing and had to check to see if the channel was still going; how do you Cook With Dog without Dog? Chef is still cooking! Over the years she's acquired a bunch of Francis merch and now the merch narrates in his voice. I thought a talking apron would be creepy but it's. Cripplingly adorable. The plush that was used for the Go! Francis! videos also sits in Francis's spot. He's still there, in spirit if not in body. It's 3am and I'm crying happy tears because Francis is such a Good Boy he wouldn't let a little thing like death stop him from cooking with Chef and teaching people. The Go! Francis! videos are also too cute. In these Francis (in plush form) travels around to different restaurants talking about food and stuff. Here's the teaser for them: ETA: looks like Chef talks fairly often in the later episodes, I was just still in the older ones that were simpler. Francis still does most of the talking though.
I've dropped a couple pounds this year; not much, but the first time I've actually lost weight in my life! Now I need to replace a bunch of clothes, which is annoying, but meh.
something about buying action figures as a grown ass adult is just good. tiny plastic men with guns, the ultimate nirvana
I am not much of an action figure person myself (although I'm super glad they make you guys so happy!), but I have a FUCKTON of plushies and I've been collecting the SU Funkos (just need Lapis, Rose, and Lion!), which is similar enough and also feels amazing. :D
I am the plushie princen, it me. I have a legit excuse I can use to make people feel bad for judging me (nightmares if I don't have snugs) but honestly I just love plushies and soft stuff and HAVING A BILLION COOL CRITTERS ON MY BED
SPEAKING OF WHICH: Here is my family of SU Funkos, carefully arranged. They make me very happy and I figured y'all needed to see them.
I got into a flame war yesterday with an anti who couldn't find their own ass with both hands and a map, because they decided it was okay to send hate to my friend over a ship they wrote. My friend has super bad anxiety and was freaking out, so I asked if I could handle it. They said yes, I replied to the anti, and then spent the next couple hours dragging the motherfucker like it was my one true purpose. I will never, ever send anyone hate for what they drew or wrote, because that's art and in art all things are permissable (as long as no real people are directly harmed), but hateful messages are not art an I will use all of my college educated sass to make a hater realize how much you do not fuck with me. The other thing is that fighting with me is like mud wrestling with a pig. After a while, if you're smart, you'll realize that the pig likes it.
I made my first meal in my new pressure cooker and it turned out really good Another cooking-related small happiness: the recipe I submitted got accepted for my university's first cookbook
Holy crap I look like five miles of shit in this pic because I have had a long tough week, but I GOT MABEL'S SWEATER
I got a really cute green lipstick today! And with a teal one coming in the mail (colourpop's Dr M) I finally have a lipstick of every* color and my collection is Satisfied :D *technically my yellow lipstick is a gold glitter lip topper but I uh. Don't care about yellow
