Fandoms and Armchair Psychology: Part 1

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post.

For context, I have been reading fanfiction, and therefore observing fandoms since 2019. Over the past five years, I have noticed that many fans have been making headcanons about characters' psychology, despite not presenting any qualifications and/or considering the context.

I have noticed that this phenomenon is very prevalent in the Encanto and 90 day fiance fandoms, but I have seen it in many others.

What do you think?

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post, and have a great day or night.

this is actually incredibly sweet

Taco Pasta: Sammy's Version Part 2

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to ready my post.

A few days ago, I wrote a blog post about Big Ed's breakup taco pasta. In the post, I wrote the recipe for Big Ed's creation. However, my family disapproved of the recipe. As such, I created my own version.

Here is the recipie:

Formula:

1 carton of reduced sodium broth(I used bone broth)

1 box of pasta(I used Rotelli)

1 red onion

1 tablespoon of garlic powder

2 packets of taco seasoning

4-5 servings of a protein of your choice(I used seitan)

2 cups of whole milk or unsweetened almond or hemp milk(I used whole milk)

4 tablespoons of butter or margerine

2 cups of cheese or nutritional yeast(I used cheese)

Fresh cilantro for a garnish

Procedure:

Over medium heat, bring the broth to a boil, and add garlic to the broth

Add the pasta to the broth, and cook until al dente

Add leftover pasta broth to a separate bowl, and mix with one packet of taco seasoning, making a sauce

Coat the protein of your choice in the sauce, then bake it in an oven or toaster oven until slightly crispy.

Dice the red onion and any other vegetables(tomato, bell pepper, etc.)

In a separate pan, add oil or butter and fry the vegetables until the onions are slightly soft, but not caramelized

Add the butter, milk, and second packet of taco seasoning to the pasta, and stir until incorporated

Add the cheese and vegetables to the milky pasta mixture, stirring until incorporated

Assemble the bowls! First, add the pasta, then add the protein, and lastly, garnish with fresh cilantro

This recipe serves 3-5 people. Enjoy!

Breakup Pasta: Sammy's Version Part One

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my blog.

This evening, I made dinner for my family, and tried a new recipe: Breakup Taco Pasta(TLC)!

First, what is Breakup Taco Pasta(TLC)? First and foremost, it is "a tasty meal" that had "the opposite effect of 'Marry Me Chicken'", according to TLC. It is not Big Ed's original creation, but it is a popular weeknight dinner, as it is easy to make, tasty, filling, and relatively inexpensive. Many chefs, food bloggers, and home cooks have created and written recipes for their versions of it, as has Big Ed.

Next, why did TLC call it "Breakup Taco Pasta"(TLC)? According to Food Network, "In episode six[of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?] (“The Itsy Bitsy Liar”), Ed reveals that at a dinner with his family, Liz and her daughter Ryleigh, Liz “blew up” because Ed had made Ryleigh’s taco pasta “too spicy.” Days after the fight, Ed tells his sister that he has decided to cancel the wedding, but has not yet told Liz, days before their would-be ceremony. Liz learns of this news from a text message from their officiant, saying “how sorry he was that the wedding was called off.”(Wong).

Third, why was it so spicy? To start off, the formula for Taco Pasta: Big Ed's Version is 1.5 pounds of ground beef, seasoned with taco seasoning, 1 onion, 1 bell pepper of any color, 3 Roma tomatoes, 1 clove of minced garlic, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, 1 packet of spicy ranch seasoning, 2 cartons of beef broth, an unspecified amount of cheese, and an unspecified amount of any pasta(though there are rumors that Big Ed used Top Ramen noodles). (TLC)

Lastly, how do you make it? According to TLC, you first heat up a large skillet, then add the beef, vegetables, and seasonings, and cook until browned. Once you have browned the beef and vegetables, add the beef broth, pasta, and cheese, and let everything simmer, stirring regularly, until the pasta is fully cooked. Once everything is fully cooked, serve.(TLC)

Would you try Taco Pasta: Big Ed's Version? Please let me know in your reply or reblog of my post.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post, and have a good day or night.

Of course they hate him, as Big Ed, at least on TV, is a toxic partner, parent, son, friend, and co-worker.

Loren and Alexei Hate Big Ed Brown Just as Much as the Rest of Us

Big Ed Brown will be one of the franchise villains on 90 Day: The Last Resort. For years, each new announcement of his return to the show — on one spinoff or another — has elicited groans and complaints from viewers. He’s not just a bad partner. Ed clashes with castmates and is an all-around toxic person. So it’s no surprise that other 90 Day Fiance stars “loathe” him just as much as everyone…

Hirobel 90 Day Fiance

Good morning, afternoon, or evening! Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post!

I am a huge fan of Disney, and I am also a huge fan of TLC reality shows, especially ones from the 90 Day Fiance Franchise.

Last night, while I was watching 90 day fiance, I thought that if they were adults in teh modern day, Mirabel and Hiro would make a perfect 90 Day Fiance couple!

What do you think? Please tell me in a reply or reblog below.

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT, the new album from Taylor Swift. Listen Now On Spotify 

Angel Eau de Parfum: Part 1

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post.

I am very sorry for posting such long posts this past month. To change that, and make my content more digestible, I have decided to break up posts in multiple parts.

As such, to quote Lana Del Rey, "Question for the Culture": What is your opinion on Angel Eau de Parfum by Mugler?

Personally, I greatly enjoy the smell, and regularly use a dupe of it. I got the dupe from CVS, and it is vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, and phytate-free. However, some people do not enjoy the smell, citing the combination of sweets and patchouli to be offensive.

What do you think? Do you enjoy the smell, finding the combination of dessert and patchouli to be pleasant, or do you detest the smell, finding the combination of sweet and earthy notes to be offensive to your olfactory sense? Please let me know.

Hirobel: Perfect Song Part 1

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post.

A few months ago, I wrote a mini-essay on how "Brooklyn Baby" by Lana Del Rey is the perfect ship song for Isabela and Elsa. After I posted my mini-essay, I started thinking of a perfect ship song for Hiro and Mirabel. I thought they would both be Swifties, and favor Taylor Swift's "Taylor Swift", "Fearless" and "Speak Now" albums. As such, I think these songs would be perfect for them:

"Our Song" by Taylor Swift from her debut album

"Fearless" by Taylor Swift from her Fearless album

"Love Story" by Taylor Swift from her Fearless album

"You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift from her Fearless album

"Mine" by Taylor Swift from her Speak Now album

Overall, I think all of those songs would be good fits for a Hirobel fic.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post. Have a good day or night!

IK she is very interesting. A lot of drama in her stories tho.

Natalie been on 90 day fiance shows for years and we just now in 2024 learn that she had two husbands before she was on the show? Tried to have a kid via IVF? Joined a convent after her second husband??? Excuse me what??

LOL

I'm catching up on 90 Day, and I'm on the Pillow Talk holiday episodes. They just showed the preview of Love & Translation, which I'm not gonna watch, sorry. 🤣 And all I could think was, a bunch of women who don't understand English, and three non bilingual American fuck boys? What could go wrong? 🤣

MY BRAIN IS GOING BONKERS WITH ENCANTO HC AND WHATNOT LIKE

Dolores loves music, she likes to write melodies, it makes her feel in control of the sounds around her

IF YOU DRINK POISON MADE BY JULIETA WPULD YOU DIE WOULD IT CANCEL OUT WOULD IT BE JUST OMINOUS LOOKING WATER

Mariano writes poems,,,,,Dolores composes melodies,,,,, they start a band,,,,,

If Camilo ever gets their own song, he'd be holding a skull for maximum drama, plus he'd shapeshift if just for a second into the comedy/tragedy faces of theater, to be bastard

Isabela decides to travel around the world, whenever she comes back she brings gifts like books for Luisa and really nice yarn/threads for Mirabel

Maybe she happened to stumble upon a quendom/magical forest where an ethereal queen of the elements noticed her and become really good friends/gf

"YOU ALSO HAD TO LIVE UNDER HORRIBLE EXPECTATIONS AND BE PERFECT FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR FAMILY AND ARE ALSO A LESBIAN????" (proceed to make out)

Dolores: are you sure about this gringa with mad ice powers??

Camilo: (nodding)

Isabela: how dare you guys this is so homophobic of you

Camilo: (offended gay gasp)

Elsa visiting her flower gf be like

Antonio, to Kristoff after seeing him talking to Sven: oh you also understand animals!!

Kristoff: Yeah!

Sven: (Reindeer sounds)

Kristoff: so true bestie

Antonio: dude that's not remotely close to what she said

Kristoff: she???

Antonio: Yeah, Sven is a girl, and apparently she hates it when u give her carrots by half, stop doing that

Mirabel makes gifts for Anna and Elsa to make them feel welcome, like a crochet-snowflake etc etc it's sweet

Isabela would be the maid of honor at Dolores' wedding

A Tangled Ever After short type of thing but for Dolores' and Mariano's wedding. Hijinks ensue

History will call them friends

Hi how are you doing today.

I am so sorry I took so long, but I am doing good today. How about you?

Elsabela: Perfect Song

CW: Drugs, Ice, Lana Del Rey, Plants

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post.

While I was doing my homework, I was listening to Lana Del Rey. I would not consider myself a Lana stan, but I do enjoy quite a few of her songs, especially ones from her Ultraviolence album.

While I was listening to Lana Del Rey's 2014 song "Brooklyn Baby", I thought that it would be the perfect song for an Elsabela fanfiction. For textual evidence, I have quoted some lyrics below:

First, "They think I don't understand The freedom land of the seventies"

Both Elsa and Isabela wear costumes inspired by 1970s fashion movement, specifically punk and boho.

In addition, both of them crave freedom and self-expression.

Next, "I think I'm too cool to know ya You say I'm like the ice, I freeze"

Yes, I am stating the obvious.

Third, "They judge me like a picture book By the colors, like they forgot to read"

As they sing about in "Let it Go", "Show Yourself", and "What Else Can I Do", people have seen them solely as beautiful, perfect "proper ladies", when they are actually more than perfect princesses.

Fourth, "But I'm free, ooh-ooh I'm free"

Similar to my third point, both ladies crave freedom.

Fifth, "I'm talking about my generation Talking about that newer nation"

Both of them at least influence major social change in their respective hometowns.

Sixth, "And if you don't like it, you can beat it Beat it, baby You never liked the way I said it If you don't get it, then forget it 'Cause I don't have to f*ck*n' explain it"

While I don't think either of them would be that rude to someone, they both have dealt with people, especially parents/grandparents not understanding them or allowing them to express their true selves.

Second to last, "I've got [flowers] in my hair I get h*gh on hydroponic w**d"

After "What Else Can I Do", Isabela realizes that she can make more than decorative flowers, likely including "medicinal herbs". In addition, I am sure she is interested in learning new gardening techniques.

Last, "Yeah, my [girl]friend's pretty cool But [she]'s not as cool as me"(Lana Del Rey, Barrie-James O'Neill)

They are both cool ladies, especially in the eyes of their younger sisters.

Ironically, according to Matthew Jacobs for Huffington Post, Lana Del Rey's song "Brooklyn Baby" is a piece of satire about 2010s-era New York City hipsters and hipster culture. (Jacobs). To state the obvious, Isabela and Elsa are not 2010s-era NYC hipsters, at least in canon and the majority of fanfictions, as their stories are set in small towns in the 19th/20th century, and they are not pretentious or elitist about their personal tastes, which people think of hipsters being.

Overall, the song encapsulates their relationship and personal lives well.

Crossover Ships: Encanto

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading this post.

When it comes to the 2021 movie Encanto, I have been a fan of it since I watched the movie in February of 2022. As such, I have been reading and writing fanfiction about it.

Key players in fandoms and fanfiction are ships and crossovers, especially crossover ships. Often, people ship two characters from different works/fandoms because they are very similar to each other. Some examples related to Encanto include Isabela and Elsa and Mirabel and Hiro, which are my two favorite Encanto crossover ships.

Thank you for taking the time out of your morning, afternoon, or evening to read my post. Have a good day or night!

So if Antonio annoys anyone, they can respond w/ "ok boomer"?

When u realise Antonio is literally a boomer

Feliz cumpleaños, Mirabel!

Honestly, I’m still so confused why D3 suddenly made it so that the villains as well suddenly deserved to be free from the Isle??? Like, it feels like we were on the right track off needing to take the kids off the Isle, but then suddenly by the end….its the adults as well???

The only reason I can see this happening is cause of what Hades said but honestly, if they wanted to have a villain say that….they chose the wrong character. Hades earned his imprisonment when he tried to kill Hercules as a baby, tried to kill him more times if you count the TV show, and basically freed the titans, potentially causing more deaths. And that’s ignoring that in this film, he also attacked Mal with the ember. Like, he was not the right character to do that bullshit line. 

But like, even then, why not see which adults are innocent and want to reform versus just…freeing all the villains, including ones who wanted revenge in the first film??? Like, this whole sudden free the villains thing makes zero sense in all areas and really wasn’t needed in the film, especially as it just leads to all the jokes about Auradon probably about to be a hellscape with the villains freed now. 

Wanda Maximoff has been leaked for the Marvel's Avengers game, the one starring Kamala Khan. I have no idea if they've cast an actress yet but I think the Scarlet Witch community should push for a Romani actress to lend her voice and likeness to the character.

It may also be a good time to reach out to actresses such as Alina Serban, Franciska Farkas, Mihaela Dragan, Alba Flores, and Simonida Selimovic to make them aware that there is a chance for representation.

It may not fix the MCU mistakes. In fact, it won't change the MCU at all, but imagine a Romani actress actually being cast as Wanda in a popular video game. Imagine finally having the Scarlet Witch we deserve in popular media, portrayed the way she deserves. The way the fans who Wanda represents deserve.

I don't have instagram or twitter anymore, but I think it's very important to reach out and campaign for this.

Every possible version of Wanda should be Roma. Do not let them cast another white actress.

The game is Marvel's Avengers, its made by Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics. Specifically, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, Square Enix Europe, Nixxes Software BV, Crystal Northwest.

Please. If you care, now is the time to make change.

Century of Tree Planting Stalls the Warming Effects in the Eastern United States, Says Study

By the 1930s, forest cover loss in the eastern states like the Carolinas and Mississippi had stopped, and massive reforestation took place.

"A century of gradual reforestation across the American East and Southeast has kept the region cooler than it otherwise would have become, a new study shows.

The pioneering study of progress shows how the last 25 years of accelerated reforestation around the world might significantly pay off in the second half of the 21st century.

Using a variety of calculative methods and estimations based on satellite and temperature data from weather stations, the authors determined that forests in the eastern United States cool the land surface by 1.8 – 3.6°F annually compared to nearby grasslands and croplands, with the strongest effect seen in summer, when cooling amounts to 3.6 – 9°F.

The younger the forest, the more this cooling effect was detected, with forest trees between 20 and 40 years old offering the coolest temperatures underneath.

“The reforestation has been remarkable and we have shown this has translated into the surrounding air temperature,” Mallory Barnes, an environmental scientist at Indiana University who led the research, told The Guardian.

“Moving forward, we need to think about tree planting not just as a way to absorb carbon dioxide but also the cooling effects in adapting for climate change, to help cities be resilient against these very hot temperatures.”

The cooling of the land surface affected the air near ground level as well, with a stepwise reduction in heat linked to reductions in near-surface air temps.

“Analyses of historical land cover and air temperature trends showed that the cooling benefits of reforestation extend across the landscape,” the authors write. “Locations surrounded by reforestation were up to 1.8°F cooler than neighboring locations that did not undergo land cover change, and areas dominated by regrowing forests were associated with cooling temperature trends in much of the Eastern United States.”

By the 1930s, forest cover loss in the eastern states like the Carolinas and Mississippi had stopped, as the descendants of European settlers moved in greater and greater numbers into cities and marginal agricultural land was abandoned.

The Civilian Conservation Corps undertook large replanting efforts of forests that had been cleared, and this is believed to be what is causing the lower average temperatures observed in the study data.

However, the authors note that other causes, like more sophisticated crop irrigation and increases in airborne pollutants that block incoming sunlight, may have also contributed to the lowering of temperatures over time. They also note that tree planting might not always produce this effect, such as in the boreal zone where increases in trees are linked with increases in humidity that way raise average temperatures."
