    …and this is the puffy-faced fizzblood. We have learned many interesting things about Terra from these creatures. For instance, while they often cry blood, occasionally their eyes will just, you know, burst. Seems to be pretty random, we think they evolved to burst their eyes to confuse predators

    to accomplish a goal everyone needs two things, the desire, and the circumstances. Desire is internal, but circumstances are usually out of our control. It sounds like your circumstances are challenging. You might not be able to do what you wish you could, but you’re still beautiful. I didn’t know you, but I bet your tastes are killer

    Man I really feel this

    I like this quote from Ira Glass, which sometimes helps:

    Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer

    There’s more, but this is the core bit. It helps me because when I’m spiraling I can at least remember, yeah, my tastes are killer. My tastes kick ass

    The English word “devil”, in reference to highly seasoned food, was in use in the 18th century, with the first known print reference appearing in 1786.[2] In the 19th century, the adjective “deviled” came to be used most often with spicy or zesty food, including eggs prepared with mustard, pepper, or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity.[

    I have wondered why they were called deviled eggs for a while. Now I have a greater understanding of why some of my WASP and Appalachian family think anything with more than salt and black pepper is “too spicy”.

    Apparently I’m from the family branch that not only buys Anal Prolapser Hot Sauce from Ace Hardware, but also makes and sells it
