the thing about italian food is that it kinda sucks when made in italy. the average italian cook is suffering under 300 different traditional family bylaws that prevent them from like, adding garlic to their sauce, or washing their vegetables or whatever. and if they were to move five kilometers away to the next town over then they'd be executed in the street for cooking it that way. when italians are released from the context of italy it's like they're taking off training weights. an italian cook with no limiters becomes a culinary apex predator. it's for this reason that italian food has, outside of italy, become one of the big three cuisines, while remaining, in italy, frustratingly under-potential. it has to be this way.

au where the shadow knight rebellion also includes vylad and zane (edit: im cackling I accidentally had “Zenix and Zane” listed for the au and completely forgot Vylad was not in fact originally part of the rebellion. zenix was such a chaotic and weird addition to the group dynamic that I completely forgot he was actually canonically there lol)

bonus:

You know what, fuck it, I don't *want* some frivolous, artisanal, lighter-than-air computer with no customizability, no upgradeability, no reparability, no ports, and a lifetime of *maybe* 3 years if you're lucky. I want a fucking great BEAST of a computer that's designed to last a minimum of 50 years, with ports up the wazoo and optional drives for every kind of media! I want modular components that you can drop in a bog for a year, dry them off, and have them still work fine! I want them to make a noise like "ker-chunk!" when you slide them into place! I want a switch that you pull to turn it on! And I don't want software that constantly forces you to get a pointless, cosmetic "upgrade" every few months either! I want durability! I want longevity! I want satisfying haptics! I want Silicon Valley to go fuck itself!

Someone please tell me that did not just happen.

The link includes a video and if you think this is just a photo taken at the right moment to make it seem like a Nazi salute I am sorry to report that the video makes it worse. My heart goes out to all Americans that they have now a President that is friends with and has appointed to a government position someone who does the Nazi salute at his inauguration.

OMG who gave laurance flowers.... ←～（o ｀▽´ )oΨ (it was me)

This is such a cool idea (also it connects my interest in minecraft diaries and outlander) like a minecraft diaries outlander au lol, where aphmau goes for a little stroll in the woods and touches a cool rock thing and boom, time travel. no memory loss just pretending to not be from the future lol

MCD au where Aphmau is from the future instead of being Irene

But the whole time she is trying really hard to make it seem like she isn’t from the future

She makes a lot of references that no one gets and they all kind of assume she is a deity because she knows so much but in reality it is all from a history class

i guess you forgot about me.

wilbur soot is an inspiration not because he’s like a famous youtuber or musician or whatever but when I’m older I want to teach kids yoyo tricks and have little ecosystems in jars and buy people ukuleles spontaneously and have friends that stay up until 5 am with me when I’m sick or sing the entirety of hamilton in a new zealand accent or collect ebay sweaters from me. I want to have a dog with a silly name and know too much about geography and go to the beach when I’m sad and take my friends to my favorite arcade for fun. I know he’s going through shit as we all are but man, what a lovely person to be.
