That Is More Or Less *exactly* What He Is.

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.

For my male audience

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*

He can hear a can of essence being opened from across the castle.

And then there's me...

Tell me I’m wrong 🤭 I saw this meme being used in another fandom but it just fits so well I had to make it

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You're not wrong.

I actually think Jaime and Cersei won't make out of twow. Aegon will hold King's Landing against Daenerys, not Cersei i.e, a much more likable monarch, making Dany's actions even more horrific. And Jaime's plot for S7/S8 didn't even make sense. But they will die together, of that I am sure.

(in reference to this post)

I agree. I think Dany's choice to take KL from Aegon is far more interesting than for her to fight Cersei because killing Cersei would have no personal significance, debating whether or not Aegon is who he claims to be, deciding he is a fraud whether that’s a genuine belief or merely a convenient one, it allows a lot more inner turmoil. Also, I believe Martin said something about us getting a little Targ war, a mini dance of the dragons 2.0, so it seems likely the two will have a fight over the throne. But even without Martin's comment, in the books themselves he's ramping up to it with this:

"A dragon eating its own tail, aye," Valena said. "From the days of Aegon's Conquest. He did not conquer here. Elsewhere he burned his foes, him and his sisters, but here we melted away before them, leaving only stone and sand for them to burn. And round and round the dragons went, snapping at their tails for want of any other food, till they were tied in knots." (TWOW, Arianne I)

which is yes, history, but also signaling what is to come for House Targaryen. They fight and kill each other, it’s fitting that that is how they go out. And we know they will, that although Rhaegar was "the last" and that Viserys thought he was the last, in truth, Dany will be the last:

And saw her brother Rhaegar, mounted on a stallion as black as his armor. Fire glimmered red through the narrow eye slit of his helm. "The last dragon," Ser Jorah's voice whispered faintly. "The last, the last." Dany lifted his polished black visor. The face within was her own. (AGOT, Daenerys IX)

So for her to kill a Targ claimant to take the throne and then be killed in turn makes sense to me.

I now can’t remember if there was a specific line that convinced me Jaime and Cersei would die together, maybe it was just Jaime saying it (“We will die together as we were born together”) that planted the idea, but before s8 I had accepted it as inevitable. There is an entire section of this post by @istumpysk with quotes/spec about how. 

🤣🤣🤣

Beauty is evil 😠... Unless it's Arya, Lyanna, or Daenerys.

Ugliness is inherently good 😍... Unless it's Tyrion Lannister, Sandor Clegane, Rorge, Biter, Ramsay Bolton, Roose Bolton, Walder Frey, every Frey...

*deep breath*

...Chett, Pyat Pree, Lady Stoneheart, Jorah Mormont, Janos Slynt, Weese, Craster, Amory Lorch, Illyrio Mopats, Kraznys mo Nakloz...

*deep breath*

...Aerys II Targaryen, Selyse Baratheon, Aegon the Unwor-

Reblogging again even though I already receive a blessing the last go round

They really don't know how to support female characters without pitting them against each other, and it shows. Its not impossible to like *both* Stark sisters, you know.

Ship girl stans like to talk how she is the champion of the smallfolk and the trash talk Jeyne Poole an actual commoner for calling Ary@ "horseface'' way back in the book one, i swear to God some of them did not move from the AGOT and it shows

That's pretty much all Sansa antis, not just the shipcels. They're mentally stuck on book 1 and never left (it also explains why they all still think Ship Girl is an oppressed underdog and Dani is still being victimized).

The thing is, yes, we saw Sansa at her worst there (though that's not saying much when other characters' worst is murder or rape) but we also saw her at her most innocent and sweet. I never had a problem liking or empathizing with AGOT!Sansa and it's weird to me so many people do.

Also, if they wanna judge the Starks in book 1, they should talk about Jon's moodiness and Ar.ya literally beating Sansa up. They're lucky their faves don't get negatively judged by first impressions.

You'll never take me alive!!
