I Knew What This Recipe Was Going In. You Don’t See A Recipe Bragging About How Few Ingredients It

the prince of egypt + the onion

I tell you this made me laugh way harder than it should have...

I now have a problem. As you may have noticed the 9x9 alternating direction diagonal lines squares create a very pretty wave pattern. But my original plan was to do a checker board pattern. I started it and imidiatly things started warping.

I now have to decide if I want to do stripes instead. Or if I should undo everything I've done to make a much smaller checkerboard.

The one benefit of the second option is that I think that the 20gm of old beads I started with were slightly smaller than the new beads I ordered so the lengths of the two sides are slightly uneven. I may just work on the seventh or six a while while I contemplate this

This is the start of my third house "necklace"

Its technically going to be a triangular scarf mare than a traditional necklace. I wanted the most extra thing possible and since cloath of gold was outside the brief, I settled on cloath of glass.

It also sort of reminds me of ancient Egyptian bead garments.

It's really southing to make

Sadly I ran out of beads. Luckily they are relatively cheap seed beads but it will be days till more arive.

im on the council of “buy myself a little treat.” And buddy, the motion passes 5-1

i hate when top wildlife predators are just lil babies teeny tiny babies

Swordswoman Showdown Round 1 Part 1

Camilla Hect (The Locked Tomb) vs Peko Pekoyama (Super Dangan Ronpa 2)

(Better here in a "preferred character" sense, not "who would win in a fight")

Propaganda below cut

Cam

trained w a rapier & knives. practical. handsome. extremely efficient and capable.; she’s my boyfriend and I love her. Please vote for cam she is my life

Gideon Nav uses one very large sword in defiance of the expectation that a cavalier should use a rapier, but Camilla Hect instead uses two. Just as much defiance of social expectation, twice as many blades. The reveal of her specific brand of swordiness is the heart of one of the book's most iconic lines: "Cam? Go loud."; In the spirit of the laconic charm of the Warden's Hand I will simply say "Camilla's competent."

She prefers two short swords but has been know to wield a rapier and other such bladder instruments; She also loves to organize spreadsheets

Go loud.

Peko

she is the ultimate swordsman. her only purpose is to cut people with sword (for her yakuza master); PEKO

I mean. Her title in-game is literally "Ultimate Swordswoman" so she's quite literally the best at swordfighting in-universe! She wields a bamboo sword most of the time but has also fought with a more "regular" sword several times.; Umm idk she's just really cool <3 I'm not great at writing propaganda lmao

She is literally called the Ultimate Swordswoman in game.

Her title is 'Ultimate Swordswoman'; Please consider: I love her

She's literally called the Ultimate Swordswoman; Member of the yakuza (Japanese mafia), wears glasses without being the token "smart/nerdy one" stereotype, likes animals

Sadly you don't see her fighting a lot, but she has the title of Ultimate Swordswoman. She also destroyed several robot bears during her execution (although she seemed to be controlled during it) and only died because she accidently hurt her crush. She also battled the Ultimate soldier and while she ultimately lost, it wasn't an easy fight. Also bodyguard for the yakuza; First seems like the stereotypical "stoic" girl, but talking to here reveals she loves Flugfeld animals and dislikes scaring them. Also sweet and very loyal. She doesn't even see herself as a person, but only a tool. Wants to relearn how to smile. Has a crush on the person she is supposed to protect, the Ultimate Yakuza, but sadly in the main story that doesn't have good ending

Has the in-universe title of Ultimate Swordswoman due to her skills. Was taken in by a yazuka family as a young child and trained with swords in order to be a bodyguard for the group’s heir, which she does extremely well.

Literally the MOST TALENTED SWORDWOMAN IN THE WORLD of her age., She is so so fucked up and traumatized <3 she sees herself as just being a tool for the yakuza heir she's a bodyguard for. Also she became a terrorist and then had her memories wiped and was still pretty morally grey after that. Then she died because she killed someone and got caught. Queen shit

My coworkers said that when they did their osha 30 cert they got a sticker. I did mine and did not get a sticker. Where’s my sticker?

Yeah sorry, we ran out of the official 30hr stickers here at the office. In the mean time, could I interest you in a sticker I made myself?

Glenda Farrell (We're in the Money, The Mystery of the Wax Museum, I've Got Your Number)— Susan Slept Here is a terrible no good very bad movie but somehow she gets even hotter as she ages

Dolores del Rio (Flying Down to Rio, Flor silvestre)—to begin with, dolores is so RADIANTLY BEAUTIFUL, even more so in action then in images, its like she emits a literal glow. marlene dietrich (a close friend and rumored lover) considered her "the most beautiful woman who ever set foot in hollywood". she was the first mexican actress to become a major success in hollywood, rising to fame in the silent era and becoming an influential icon of beauty and glamor in the art deco age, though she was not thrilled with the exoticizing parts often pushed on her. in the mid 1940s having tired of the controlling hollywood studio system she returned to mexico, saying "I wish to choose my own stories, my own director and cameraman. I can accomplish this better in mexico", and proceeded to become a pivotal figure in the golden age of mexican cinema, making a string of masterpieces with directir emilio fernández and cinematographer gabriel figueroa. i love this anecdote about the insane art deco mansion she and her then-husband cedric gibbons lived in in the 30s, as related by david niven: "Dolores had a large sunny room on the first floor containing a huge and inviting bed. Gibbons lived in comparative squalor in a small room immediately below. The only connection between these rooms was by way of a stepladder, which could be lowered only when a trapdoor in the floor of Dolores room had been raised. There was a long stick with which, we conjectured, he signaled his intention or hopes by rapping out signals on the floor of his wife’s bedchamber." heres a pinterest album with a billion hot pictures of her

Dolores del Rio:

There's so much! She started in Silent films and successfully transitioned to sound, She is the first woman to wear a two piece swimsuit on screen & popularized the bikini!, She transitioned back to Mexican Cinema in the late 1940s and was a leading lady of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema including staring in Maria Candelaria--the first Mexican film to win the palm d'Or at Cannes. She was literally studied for her beauty & was considered a beauty ideal in both the USA & Mexico--there's a whole section on her Wikipedia page about how beautiful everyone thinks she was. She never actually had a feud with any of the female stars she was rumored to feud with despite the fact that press & Hollywood culture attempted to pain them in competition... She remained a leader in Mexican theater & Cinema through her own production company. Mexican painter Diego Rivera: "The most beautiful, the most gorgeous of the west, east, north and south. I'm in love with her as 40 million Mexicans and 120 million Americans who can't be wrong" (quote source: Wikipedia)

*fan self* Leading actress in silents and early Hollywood. Lover of Orson Welles until she got fed up with him, friend of Diego Rivera and Frieda Kahlo. When she got tired of Hollywood executives typecasting her as a stereotypical spitfire (and trying to force her to feud with Lupe Velez as a publicity stunt), she ditched Hollywood and became a major star of Mexican cinema, where she got to play rounded characters

Had a career in American cinema in the 20s and 30s and considered one of the most important figures in the Golden Age of Mexican cinema (30s to 50s).

Marlene Dietrich said Dolores was the most beautiful woman to set foot in Hollywood

Joan Crawford: "Dolores became, and remains, as one of the most beautiful stars in the world."

One of the few Latin American women working in the Hollywood industry to make it big not just in hre home country but internationally. In 1931, Photoplay magazine declared that Mexican film actress Dolores del Rio had the "best figure in Hollywood." (which I know not necessarily a good barometer) but! it shows that many people looked at her for her beauty and sought to emulate her. Famous for her years-long love affair with actor and director Orson Welles, who was 10 years her junior if that's anything.

We need more hispanic representation in this!! Del Río is one of the most important actresses of her time as she was one of the first Mexican movie stars to break through to Hollywood! She’s unbelievably sexy and an absolute icon. Thank you :)
