“Have you read this?“ Mahanon bursts out, sounding incredibly baffled and just this side of affronted as he waves a sachet of papers in Evelyn’s direction, “Unbelievable! The gall of her. I can’t believe we have the same parents. At the rate she’s going I really will be the scion to the House of Lavellan for the rest of my life. What did I do to make her do this to me?”
“You’re being very dramatic,” Evelyn says, working on undoing her petticoats and getting out of the dress she had worn to dinner. “It’s alright, Flyssa.”
Flyssa cuts a narrow eyed look at Mahanon who’s reading over the letter with one hand and pouring himself some brandy with the other, muttering under his breath.
your tan france name is your favourite colour followed by a place you wanna visit, for example mine is grey jordan
this is the only post i’ve ever made that i’m glad got popular because every comment and tag on it is entertaining to read. and the stupid comments aren’t even like frustrating or hurtful, they’re just even more entertaining. im begging the person who wrote “Frog Fuiji” to tell me what the fuck they think a colour is and also where to find fuiji on a map
i mean, the most basic version is to just cover some tortilla chips in some kind of salsa, cook it until the chips are soft, cover it in cheese and put a fried egg on it
ideally you’d use chips you made out of stale tortillas, homemade salsa, maybe some queso fresco. there are variations that poach the egg directly in the pan with everything else in the oven, but there’s also about a million other variations because it’s throw-leftovers-in-a-pan-and-now-it’s-breakfast food so the recipe always depends on whatever is common for whoever wrote the recipe down. guac, avocados, onions, crema, etc etc etc.
i’m lazy as hell and like adding beans to everything so i just cover the bottom of a pan with chips, dump a can’s worth of black beans on it, pour some red enchilada sauce over that, cover it in queso chihuahua and bake it until it’s melty. then put a fried egg over it (or a smashed softboiled egg). most salsas and i have textural disagreements so enchilada sauce is easier.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I make sorta-chilaquiles/sorta-scrambled-eggs.
Throw your stale chips in a frying pan, cover with salsa. When they get to the right texture (I do not know the right texture), and cheese, lots of egg, green onions, and cilantro. Maybe other spices? Who knows.
Scramble the whole thing until you like the texture (I like my eggs barely cooked), and eat.
Truthfully, most things that are fried in pans and are made of small pieces (so, not steak) can have egg added until they become sorta-scrambled. This usually improves them.
THINGS I NEED TO FUCKING KNOW: Why every fuckin trans man or nb person I know who binds is like “oh binders are the worst, you can’t breathe in them, I know someone who broke a rib once”,
And meanwhile over in historical costuming, we are fucking eating, sleeping, swordfighting, riding horses, and feeling great like this:
Lucy’s Corsetry also provides a lot of information about corsetry, and links to corset makers. She has links and info for transfeminine folk, but nothing specific for transmasculine people. But she might be able to help with fabrication info – I know she used to answer a LOT of questions, and her youtube series was really helpful.
A downside to being … me, is that my cousins are getting mildly youtube popular (250K, which I THINK is good?) but made me promise to never watch because they’re sometimes ‘inappropriate.’ People are uncomfortable swearing or making off-colour jokes around me. Sometimes they apologize.
My cousins have FANART. I want to reblog it and gush about them!
But I’m the older cousin, to be respected and possibly emulated. I don’t get to watch my cousin pretend to be an alien jellyfish.
I’ve had this open since I got it, checking back every once in a while. Thank you!
I DO love being a big sister, and after FINALLY convincing a sibling, sibling-in-law, or cousin to create offspring after over a decade of effort, I can also confirm I love being an aunt!
(I am also delighted to be thought of as a reptile. Gecko is a good name and I’m glad I chose it.)
You know what? I’m in a mood. I think I’m going to make MORE posts about the ridiculousness of Mochica.
(Note: It’s name isn’t even Mochica! It’s been called Yunga, Muchik, Mochica, maybe Quingnam but maybe not, we have NO CLUE what the Mochicans called their own language.)
Anyways, these are some of the ways that people who heard the language spelled the word for:
‘fire’ – uf, ooχ, och, oj, ú, ol
‘water’ –
ja, là, xa
‘sun’ –
xllang/xllankik, jang, cheang
‘star’ –
tconkik, cɥong-oiæc
‘alive’ –
siam,
ciamoiñ
‘fish’ –
giac, híac, xllac
Can you imagine trying to find duplicates? I found ‘alive’ and ‘fish’ WHILE MAKING THIS POST.
Given the words:
cæmeiñ
sem
ciamoiñ
quezmen
ssap
kukúli
ssiet
how would you order them?
Because my current guess is:
/ɕamoñ/ – ciamoiñ
/ɕet/ – ssiet
/keɕmen/ – quezmen
/kəmeñ/ – cæmeiñ
/kukuli/ – kukúli
/sap/ – ssap
/sem/ – sem
but I’m open to alternate suggestions. They were a different order earlier today!
I say I know more than some researchers in the Mochica language based on these facts:
I read an article saying that many place names meant ‘House of’ whatever, because they ended in ‘an.’ ‘An’ is the Mochica word for ‘house.’ Fine, professor academic, sir, but it is ALSO THE PLURAL SUFFIX. That’s like saying ‘flowers’ means ‘belonging to the flower’ whenever you see it. Sure, someone could have forgotten to spell it ‘flower’s’ but lets go with the simplest definition, okay?
The letter ‘c’ can be used, by itself or with another letter, represent at least 6 different sounds in Mochica. This is ridiculous and not academia’s fault. However, the amount of times I’ve had to combine ‘different words,’ with slightly different meanings but wildly different ‘pronunciation,’ is ridiculous. You only have about 5 extant sources! If I can do this using badly scanned documents and google translate, you can too!
