Some people say that Midna’s canonical true form doesn’t really match her established characterisation, and I can totally see where they’re coming from, but for me, the notion of trueform!Midna being this elegant eight-foot-tall sorcerer queen while still having exactly the same horrible trash imp personality is fucking hilarious.
Midna, a beautiful 8'2" ethereal queen of the light between worlds: hey, pull my finger
Zant: My god has given me the power to dipose you! Midna staring down at him: Your god looks like a bitch
Because HE DOESN’T FUCKING PAY TAXES, AND HASN’T IN FUCKING YEARS. MOST BILLIONAIRES DON’T. AND THE IRS DOESN’T CARE BECAUSE IT’S ‘TOO COMPLICATED’ (Their words) TO AUDIT THE WEALTHY.
OUR RIGHT TO TAX HIM AT 50 FUCKING PERCENT IS BECAUSE TAXES WERE MEANT TO BE FROM EACH ACCORDING TO THEIR MEANS.
OUR RIGHT TO TAX HIM AND ALL THE OTHER BILLIONAIRES AND THEIR TRILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES IS BECAUSE NONE OF THEM HAVE PAID THEIR FUCKING DUES TO SOCIETY IN A FUCKING GODDAMNED DECADE, WHILE THEIR COMPANIES ARE THE ONES KILLING THE FUCKING PLANET. THEY FUCKING OWE US AT THIS POINT, YES. OWE. US. THEY OWE SOCIETY BECAUSE WE’RE THE REASON THEY MADE THAT FUCKING MONEY, AND THEY ARE THE REASON WE’RE DEALING WITH THESE PROBLEMS TO BEGIN WITH SO THEY GET TO PAY THEIR FUCKING SHARE. AMAZON DOESN’T PAY TAXES. IT’S A TRILLION FUCKING DOLLAR COMPANY. I CAN BARELY COMPREHEND HOW BIG A BILLION IS. A TRILLION IS A LOT FUCKING BIGGER.
FUCK BEZO FUCK AMAZON FUCK BILLIONAIRES FUCK THEIR COMPANIES IF WE, THE POOR, HAVE TO PAY FUCKING TAXES, THEN THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS SURE AS SHIT CAN.
You know what I’m craving?? That soup from the Pokemon anime that Brock/Takeshi used to make. That creamy looking one. In my mind it’s warm and savory with that hint of natural vegetable sweetness and hearty and filling and absolutely delicious.
It can’t be all that complicated cuz he always made it out in the open in those little campsites the gang would set up. I mean, that’s one of the reasons why it looks so good, right?? Simple, classic, ‘rustic’, good for the soul. I’m thinking some kind of cream base with chicken or vegetable stock, maybe a nice brown flour roux, ham or chicken or sausage (uh… or the Pokemon equivalent!!) and the fond from the pan when you brown the meat, potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, celery, onions, salt and pepper… And a nice crust of bread for dipping. I’m absolutely not a cook so this could be totally off base but that’s just how it feels in my mind. Nice and warm, smelling like heaven.
When I was a kid I could almost smell that soup right off the teeny tiny screen. I never got to eat much Western food when I was a very young kid so it was kind of like a rare treat, but I certainly smelled it in the air whenever we passed by the white people neighborhoods, and of course I knew and loved Asian-Western fusion cuisine. I’d rewatch those same couple of episodes from Season 1 on VHS and imagine the protagonists were Asian-Americans like me, and Brock was cooking up some amazing soup that was sure to taste so so good. Even simply colored line drawings in potato quality on a shitty tiny TV screen can be so romanticized in the mind of a hungry kid.
I’m a hungry adult now. I want soup. I wish I had that soup right now. In real life. Right in front of me right now. But regular real life meat, no Taurus or Miltanks or Torchics in there.
I want cream stew. Ideally cooked in a pot over a fire by a beloved friend, but normal indoors kitchen stew is fine too. But I want it. I want it!!!!
maybe cream of potato soup?
It’s rich and creamy and soothing. It’s great after a day of physical activity- especially if it’s a cold day.
Not super healthy tho. It has bacon and sour cream in it.
Could be something like this too, White Bean and Bacon Soup.
Or maybe Tom Kha? This is my favorite soup.
It might be White Stew / Cream Stew! It’s a sort of curry-like dish made with a bechamel instant roux like this:
with carrots, onions, chicken, mushrooms, broth and peas. Sometimes broccoli!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAT.
I think you’ve found it!
also I want to find it.
that looks SO GOOD.
OHH the little Okinawan owned Japanese store here has that!!
here’s the campfire version
consider theyre all correct and each time he makes creamy soup its a different recipe because he enjoys cooking and knows his friends will appreciate the variety
