A scene from e1 of Heated Rivalry. Yuna Hollander is telling Shane she ordered salmon and brown rice for him.

A plate of home-cooked food, including salmon, brown rice, asparagus, and a salad of baby spinach.

Yuna ordered for me tonight.

It's SO GOOD. Cathartic and joyful!

My fetish is watching people cry at the end of episode 5 of Heated Rivalry

And then also crying myself again

And know this: the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this. Try.

And then remember this: The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.

Teeth: out. Sipping turkey stock slowly on 600mg of ibuprofen while watching the Lord of the Rings extended editions. Not having an awesome time, but i guess it could be worse.

Received my Breyer stablemate Isla today and she reminded me of something...

Having wisdom teeth extraction surgery on Monday at the tender age of 41. The good news is I've got 2 turkey carcasses in the fridge about to be turned into stock for pretty much all my meals next week.

A general reminder: If the joke is "ha ha he gay," it's still homophobic, regardless of whether you're on the right or the left.

Each successive series of Taskmaster it becomes increasingly clear that they *want* the fanfic to be written
