She was saying “Fine’‘
all the time.
But in reality she
was not so fine.Her eyes told different story
than her mouth.
Emptiness in her eyes,
told story of suicidal wishes.Her skin told story
of not being so perfect.
It carried scars,
pale skin,
bruises.Her mind was screaming
all the time.
She was shaking,
She was looking directions.
She seemed paranoid.
She was scared.I don’t know what
or who
hurt her poor soul
but I will find it out.
I will help her.
She deserves happiness.
I will help her // Lucija Pandza

“I’m 147 pounds of pale skin and fragile bones. Sarcasm is my only defense.”
Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi are pretty pale for living on a desert planet with two suns.
Lord Farquaad should have picked Snow White, because having another dwarf around would be anything but abnormal to her.
Winter turns to spring
Famine turns to feast
Nature points the way
Nothing left to say
Beauty and the Beast…
This got me dying
who paid for this study bruh
it’‘s literally seasoning. that’s it. that’s what make food taste good.
Bro it’s more complex than just ‘ey they used seasoning’
It’s HOW they used seasoning, compared to other areas of the world.
Indian seasoning does this neat color wheel of flavor, fitting a bunch of spices that are very DIFFERENT from each other, to create a huge range of complex flavor.
Meanwhile in Italy for instance, they tend to use flavors that are SIMILAR. For instance, Basil and Oregano, or Sweet fish with Sweet wine. It makes foods less likely to contrast weirdly in your mouth, and it’s the basis of why fancy european people pair red wines with steak and white wines with chicken. Savory with Savory, Light with Light.
But the Indian food steps it up a notch. The research is definitely worth a read.
“ That like flavors should be combined for better dishes—an unspoken but popular hypothesis stipulated by recipe-building in North American, Western European, and Latin American cultures—is an idea essentially reversed in Indian cuisine. “
well yes, spices need to not just complement the food but contrast against each other. to get maximum flavour when cooking indian food:
1. use whole spices, dry roast small quantities of individual spices together and then grind them to a powder. balance is what you’re looking for, not just chucking in handfuls of seasonings willy nilly because quantity does not equal flavour when it comes to spicing indian food.
2. whole spices go in the oil first. always. also everything gets fried on its own before it’s chucked into the sauce/curry. even the curry base is started off by frying onions/ginger/garlic/tomatoes or any combination thereof. basically…FRY THAT SHIT. i don’t know of any regional cuisine in india that uses stock for simmering. frying everything individually is how we add flavour instead.
3. indian food needs to be cooked long and slow for the flavours to really merge. don’t skimp on the cooking time if you can because that makes a huge difference.
This was so enlightening
I feel a need to mention that the researchers for this study are NOT white, as stated above. They’re Indian. It’s Indian people saying “why does our cuisine work and taste so vastly different than anywhere else in the world?” To quote from the article:
“Researchers Anupam Jaina, Rakhi N Kb, and Ganesh Bagler from the Indian Institute for Technology in Jodhpur ran a fine-tooth comb through TarlaDalal.com—a recipe database of more than 17,000 dishes that self-identifies as “India’s #1 food site”—in attempts to decode the magic of your chicken tikka masala or aloo gobi.”
Indian scientists: do cool science to show how awesome their cuisine is
Tumblr: hHUUURRRRRDURRRRRR WHITE PEOPLE
Yes, according to tumblr, any kind of anthropological or cultural research is racist. Like, I could talk about facial bone structure and how it can hint at specific origins and people would call me a racist. They have before. Sorry for having eyes and knowing stuff.

Immy, my favourite Australian, I need advice! I've just moved to Australia with my family from England (as of last week) and I'm kinda terrified and confused. Any important things I should know about this overwhelming country? (Also your winter is warm!)

Omg! Welcome to Australia! That’s a really big move, holy shit! No wonder you’re overwhelmed, moving like states is one thing but moving countries? Damn. Also around this time it’s not really winter, we basically count is as spring because the animals and nature basically think it’s spring as well.
Umm as for advice… I can’t really think of a lot. I don’t know what state you’re in so it’s kind of hard to give you advice because I feel like it’s different from state to state. If you’re in Victoria, the driving rules are really messed up down there. If you ever see a Queensland driver, avoid them because they’re the worst drivers ever.
Queenslanders are really racist as well, you’ll come to know that when you start learning more about politics. Pauline Hanson is the enemy, she’s the biggest racist of them all but we have some more corrupt pollies than her unfortunately.
If people call you a cunt or a mad cunt, that’s a compliment. Swear words are usually just compliments. We shorten everything - for example, ‘bottlo’, ‘maccas’, 'arvo’, ect, ect. It might seem confusing at first but you’ll come to use the words as well soon because it’s easier lol.
Wtf is even the weather? The weather is really moody around here (as you can tell by how warm our winter is). You won’t be able to survive our summer though and we can’t survive winter. If you live towards the bottom of Australia, or Tasmania, it’s really fucking cold about mid-June and July. Then from about November you’ll die. It’s so hot. 40 degree days are common, my guy. Your christmas tree will be a portable fan this year.
Don’t even get me started on nature around here. Birds will kill you. Snakes will kill you. Spiders will kill you. Plants? Probably will kill you as well. Now is a really bad time to be here because everything is beginning to come out. Plovers are damn insane. I have a family in my front yard and the babies look adorable but the parents WILL KILL YOU. THEY HAVE POISONOUS SPURS IN THEIR WINGS, FOR GODS SAKE. AVOID THEM. They attack my car like every day. Oh and during spring, you’re gonna see people on bikes wearing helmets with big ass sticks on them. Why? Magpie season. Magpies have given my brother stitches. Fuckin evil little bitches. Cross the other side of the road if you see them. They are evil bastards. Oh also, you will have at least 5 huntsman spiders in your house over the christmas holidays. Google that. They’re terrifying.
That’s all I can think of so far. Good luck.
