Defenders Of Tomorrow

…You know, there were times in the Middle Ages where taking noble prisoners hostage instead of killing them and holding them in your castle for weeks or months until they were ransomed and treating them as guests if they agreed not to try to escape was so common, 

you could probably get a whole SERIES of m/m romance stories, each of them exploring the many varied ways this scenario could play out between hostage and captor, from people who form instant friendships and find a way to solve the dispute between their warring factions, to deep and bitter enemies who play infinitely subtle games of escape and recapture, as their decades of mutual rivalry and hurt and misunderstanding unravel a little more every evening.

IT WOULD BE GOOD. I’M JUST SAYING.

with everything that’s going on with bon apetit, i thought i’d just share some of my favorite recipe-based youtube channels run by people of color

just one cookbook - a super wide variety of japanese recipes. easy step-by-steps and all the recipes i’ve tried have been delicious

souped up recipes -  chinese recipes - very informative videos and tasty food - i love her personality too

maangchi - who doesn’t love maangchi. delicious korean recipes and a fabulous personality

get curried - a huge variety of recipes from various regions of india

stove top kisses - fun and delicious recipes and the videos are super fun to watch - mostly american food

Been hearing this is a problem again. Don't be a dick in bookmarks, folks. And yes while I made this image, I'm giving free reign. Take it. Spread it far and wide. Because I'm hearing that some readers don't know that their bookmarks are visible.

Y’know what I want:

I want a normal childhood elementary-high school au for the Umbrella kids who fill the 1-7 sibling age roles, maybe they’re all only like a year apart a piece I don’t know and here is what I’m picturing

Some kid decides to try to pick on Klaus cause kids are awful and Klaus is The Weird Kid who dresses strangely, is always getting high behind fhe bleachers, and can usually be found talking to himself

But so some obnoxious kid decides fo bug Klaus and what Klaus decides to do is be like

“Yeah okay heres how we’re gonna do this, leave me alone and I don’t let my big siblings find out”

and this kid thinks for a minute about who Klaus’ older siblings are:

Luther- That really strong football jock in the science club that looks like he lifts weights as a hobby

Allison- The most popular girl in school who Can And Will ruin your social life if you fuck with her or her siblings

Diego- That kid with the fifty billion knives on his body at all times who is consistently in detention for Weird Vigilante Bullshit against people he catches being bullies

Kids like “Uhhhhh oh shit maybe I shoulda thought this through”

Then Klaus adds “Throw in some of your lunch money for weed and I’ll make sure Five never finds ouf : )”

Because like, this kid thinks Klaus telling his older sibs would be bad, but he hears Five Hargreeve’s name and nearly shits himself in terror.

Nobody knows much about Five, they just know he’s kind of short, his name is a number and he is not to be trifled with. The last kid that did try something is supposedly still missing.

Needless to say, Klaus ends up with no bullies and a shiny new weed budget.

Tea drinkers read this!!!

If you buy pre-made herbal tea blends (usually have names like Bedtime, Calm, etc) check the ingredients. I just saw a Nighttime blend that had St. Johns Wort in it, which can be dangerous when mixed with some medications. Talk to you doctor what herbs you should avoid. (Especially when you want to ingest st. Johns wort or mugwort) 

 A simple hint to remember is just because its in a food store, doesn’t mean its safe. 

Children behave, that’s what they say when we’re together

And watch how you play

They don’t understand and so we’re

Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands

Trying to get away into the night
