Aaaw Yeah... Thats The Good Stuff

Gonna hang onto this until Season 5...

If Ashley does end up with a stable superpower, I hope it’s super-hair like Medusa and Sindel.

Food for thought:

The Furies of Greek myth, in order to not be directly named to draw their unwanted attention, were referred to as *The Kindly Ones*

Someone else, can't find where or who, pointed out that Slowik is definitely the kind to know *everything* about his regulars, so knew the Tech Bros. were bullshitting but he and his crew committed to the bit anyway for the jollies. So you are on the mark about the whole cake analysis

I just saw The Menu and I want to talk about this fucking cake. (Spoilers)

I'm curious if it's intentional. This cake looks kinda amature. It's a minimalist fondant cake with a sugar bowl slapped on top. It's straight up Pinterest material. It's something an experienced homebaker could pull off with practice. And it's not perfect. The cake is tapered at the top and the fondant is sloppy.

It's not something that would be served at a place even with a fraction of prestige as Hawthorne.

To me, that cake represents the trickle down of the innovations that Chefs like Slowik have to keep inventing to stay relevant. That's why he invites his Lilian to the dinner and why he plans on killing her. If he isn't constantly surpassing her increasing standards then she can write a story about how far Chef Slowik has fallen and gain more prestige.

Avant Garde trends always changes to be adopted by the masses. It's the nature of art.

Another example is the trend of servers hitting or smashing food as is it served before the guest can start eating. (Example starts at 1:47)

That has turned into restaurants charging $25 for a chocolate pinata that guests break themselves at their table.

They serve a cake that represents their art being changed to be more attainable (which is not a bad thing, mind you. It's always going to happen). Most people would have fun smashing a chocolate pinata, but it's something that the people attending that dinner would scoff at.

They want to be presented and served. They want a true experience, not simple food or fun.

A cake with all of that meaning is served before a dish that aimed to elevate a simple, common dish to an absurd degree. It's the only way people like the guests would consume a dish that simple and beloved.

That is, if the cake was intentionally made to represent that. If not, I kinda look like a fool.

Please?

Sooooo Mickey 17 edit with The Fine Print when

Loving this, will have to check these novels out~

tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like

“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”

and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent

Genuine question from someone who has only read "Thrones" and the first handful of chapters in "Clash of Kings": has Arya shown *any* interest whatsoever in ruling? I thought her main personal theme was about freedom and identity, and her slipping into chaining herself to vengeance and letting her anger twist her runs counter to both, stealing her freedom and identity away, and thus must be overcome.

If that is indeed the case, then how can folks say they are Arya fans while ignoring her central, series wide arc?

Ok this is very random but it has being bothering me for a while. The stans use the “you’ll marry a king” line as foreshadowing for Queen @rya but even if it were...here’s the thing: when you marry a king you are a queen consort. No power, you are only there to provide heirs and your standing hangs on your husband’s will. Ask Anne Boleyn how much her position as Queen protected her once her husband got tired of her. Heck, even in universe we see poor Ellia completely vulnerable once Rathgar humiliated her in public.

Married to a king would put @rya in a similar position to Ellia Martell or Cersei. The only power Cersei has right now hangs by the thread of Tommen’s life. Her kingdom is falling apart already and when he dies she will fall like a house of cards. Wives of kings do not rule on their own.

Sansa on the other hand will rule on her own right as the oldest sister of King Robb, the last King in the North. Her position as Queen does not depend on any man, her power comes from her Stark name and not a marriage, therefore she can marry -or not- freely.

So, you know, that foreshadowing is not exactly what they think it is.

> not exactly what they think it is.

Arya fandom in a nutshell.

Let em know @minitafan! Bravo.

That fandom forever clinging to that passage is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen. Can you imagine how hard they have to work to look past her father talking about one of his children sailing the Sunset Sea sentences before? That has to be a struggle, I don’t envy them.

Sailor Moon is going to sail the ocean blue, and they can die mad about it.

In ultimate grown-up move, Musk will make his own phone if he has to

Nehal Malik for iPhone in Canada:

Elon Musk said on Friday afternoon that he will “make an alternative phone” if Apple or Google decide to kick Twitter off the App Store or Play Store, their respective mobile app marketplaces.

This is definitely something a child would say if they didn't get their way.

She's crying her best
