I made this today and can confirm it is the real deal. If you are poor and/or eat instant ramen all the time like me, you should give it a try.

Here’s some guy’s blog post where he makes it.

I just tried it out myself, too. It is pretty legit. 

I’ve been adding egg to my soupy ramen for a while… got to try this take on it!

listen, if you’re poor, and buy green onion, don’t keep it in a bag in the fridge! put the bunch in a glass of water, so the waxy white part is submerged, and leave it somewhere it gets some sunlight. instead of rotting in the crisper drawer, the onions will stay fresh almost indefinitely, and can even replenish themselves. 

you can eat the stalks whole one by one, or just cut the greens off with scissors and let them grow back from the white base. just don’t let the water get too old or too warm, or submerge too much of the greens, or you risk losing a stalk to rot— just replace the water once or twice a week, do an occasional sniff test.

if the roots get real long, you can even upgrade your stalks to houseplant status. when potted, the upkeep’s a little higher, because you have to water them regularly, but the onions start to reproduce.

i’ve heard bok choy does fine in water too, but i haven’t tried it. see for yourself. 

I did not know this green onion tip and will be using it!

So while doing some pirate research for the play I’m writing I stumbled upon one of the most amazing things I’ve ever read. In the 5th century A.D. there was a Scandinavian princess called Alwilda who’s father tried to set her up to marry Alf, the Prince of Denmark. Alwilda wasn’t cool with this so she and some female companions dressed as men, stole a ship, and sailed away. Eventually they met a company of pirates who were in need of a new captain and they were so captivated by her that they elected her as their new leader. Her crew became so infamous that Prince Alf was sent out to stop them. When their ships met he took Alwilda prisoner and she was so impressed by Alf’s skill that she agreed to marry him after all and eventually became the Queen of Denmark.

I stopped caring whether this was factually accurate about halfway through because it’s completely AWESOME.

Medievalist here for triumphant fact-checking: this story is, if not true, at least true according to the history of the Danes (Gesta Danorum) written in the 12th century by Saxo Grammaticus. You can read his account of Alwilda’s story in the original Latin here, or in English translation here. Highlights include:

She exchanged woman’s for man’s attire, and, no longer the most modest of maidens, began the life of a warlike rover. Enrolling in her service many maidens who were of the same mind, she happened to come to a spot where a band of rovers were lamenting the death of their captain, who had been lost in war; they made her their rover captain.

I love the implication that there were lots of Danish maidens just WAITING for the opportunity of a life of piracy…

Reblogging my old post for this A+ addition to it

a post on demisexuality

because i’m sick of explaining my sexuality and people not understanding it

  • demisexual - only being able to feel sexual attraction towards a person if an emotional bond was formed OR if you feel romantic attraction
  • demisexuals can have, and enjoy, sex. however, not all demisexuals desire sex
  • many demisexuals that desire sex focus more on how it feels, rather than their attraction towards the person
  • demisexuals are often attracted to fictional characters
  • demisexuals are also often attracted to people who cosplay their favorite characters
  • many demisexuals can only have a crush on one real person at a time. like, they can be attracted to many fictional characters, but only have 1 person they know in real life that they like
  • demisexuals never really look at somebody they’re just seeing for the first time twice. it isn’t until an emotional bond is formed that they start noticing physically attractive things about that person.
  • demisexuals are not “picky”
  • demisexuals are not just “waiting until marriage/waiting to meet the right person.”
  • basically, somebody’s whose demisexual can’t just look at a stranger that people think is attractive and feel the same way
  • yes, demisexuality is a real thing

Though attraction doesn’t mean finding someone aesthetically pleasing!
