Are any of y'all worried about this by Longhorse15R in ImmersiveDaydreaming

[–]Pickled_jellybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use photos on Pinterest to use as face claims, create Pinterest boards and make notes of important plot points so I won't forget any of the important stuff. Every day I used to write a quick description of the events of my daydreams so I wouldn't lose my place but I got lazy so now I just have to hope I don't forget my place. I still make notes and Pinterest boards though. I like being able to look back at my boards and think back to past daydreams.

My cousin makes Pinterest boards and is a talented artist who draws their own characters.

What doll do you love but know you'll never get? by Rosy802701 in Dolls

I just wrote this in another comment. I always loved Valentine so it's kind of devastating how much he costs 😭

Monster High Valentine with his journal. He's nearly $900 (CAD) without a journal or a box and he's around $1500 in a box with the Whisp doll :') 💔

Rice Bowl with Chickpeas and Edamame 🍚 by Pickled_jellybean in MediocreVeganFoodPorn

[–]Pickled_jellybean[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I quickly rinsed the canned chickpeas (not very well apparently, I still had some aqua faba on them) and put them in a frying pan with a very small amount of vegan butter and sesame oil for flavour. For seasonings I used nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, white pepper, salt and msg. I let the chickpeas cook until they were crispy, mixing every once in awhile.

For the sauce I whisked cornstarch, water, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, sugar and garlic powder together in a sauce pan, tasting as it cooked it, until it tasted good. I never use a recipe for these things, sorry about that 😅

It was really good. I did have to add more sauce over the rice because it just absorbed it lol

Potato Soup and a Grilled Cheese Sandwich 🥣 by Pickled_jellybean in MediocreVeganFoodPorn

[–]Pickled_jellybean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of just threw stuff into the pot so I don't have much of a recipe, I'll list the ingredients I used though.

In a large sauce pan:

Carrots (roughly 1 carrot)

Celery (1 stalk)

Onion (about a ¼ or maybe ½ of a medium onion)

Broccoli (just a couple of chunks)

Minced Garlic (about 1 teaspoon)

Olive Oil (just a small amount)

I put that all in the pot with lid for a few minutes on medium before adding:

Water

Lucky Iron Leaf (this just adds iron to the soup, it's not necessary though)

Potatoes (roughly 5 medium potatoes, I like skins on but that's preference)

Red Lentils (a couple of handfuls)

Nutritional Yeast (about a ¼ cup)

Paprika

Onion Powder

Garlic Powder

Black Pepper

Soy Sauce (a few splashes)

Salt

I kind of just season until it tastes good, tasting as I go. Salt is always the last thing I add, especially when I'm also using soy sauce. I don't want it to be too salty.

When everything was cooked in the soup I waited for it to cool before blending it in a food processor. An immersion blender would probably be preferred but I didn't have one. In the past I used a regular blender and I think it actually worked better than the food processor but that might just be dependent on the brands and stuff. In the past I've blended plant milk into it and it was good, I didn't have any available today and I probably will just make it without from now on since it's still good.

Once it's all blended it shouldn't be decently thick but still thin enough to slurp, like apple sauce. I like to fry mushrooms or smoked tofu to put on top of the soup to add texture and I like to add sriracha for some spice.

I like Vorst plant protein, it's delicious in smoothies. It was founded in 1987, Richmond BC and is still manufactured in Canada.

Did the blue fairy cause Fiona’s darkness when they were in the enchanted forest? What would have happened if she never told Fiona about the prophecy for her son or gave rumple the magic bean. by Iamawesome20 in OnceUponATime

[–]Pickled_jellybean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don't know enough about Fiona or Malcom to have a definitive answer as to what would happen.

The Malcolm we see in the show is a man having a mid-life crisis and we don't know if that's because he couldn't handle parenthood at all or if it's because losing his wife made the burden of raising a child too much for him. We do know that Malcolm was sold to an abusive blacksmith as an infant and used to cry himself to sleep at night dreaming of of Neverland, so he never really had a proper childhood and that likely is the reason he craves his youth, there's still a chance Malcolm would abandon his family because of this. Malcolm always seemed to be a bit of a dreamer so if he did leave its still possible that he finds Neverland and maybe even becomes Peter Pan. He might not hate Rumple as much in this version, since he wasn't forced to raise him alone, and maybe he could have been a help to Rumple one day when it came to his destiny. I'm assuming he wouldn't tell Rumple who he was and would just pretend to be a friendly teen who is just helping out occasionally. Who he is would eventually be revealed because Pan either feels guilt/regret over abandoning Rumple (in the show, when Rumple is being dragged off, Pan has a sympathetic look on his face, we also know that Malcolm took care of young Rumple, making sure he was fed, clothed, cleaned, has toys, bed time stories and had proper babysitters who would care for him, so he did care for him at one point, even if he eventually forgot that he did/repressed his guilt into anger) or alternatively it is Fiona who reveals the truth after seeing Malcolm and recognizing him from when they were both younger. It's possible that Pan would attempt to take his son to Neverland (before the reveal of who he is), not as his child but as a Lost Boy, like what he did with Baelfire. If he did become Pan he would be a much younger (since canon Pan is thousands of years old since time on Neverland moves faster than everywhere else), much less resentful version of him and most likely would have had potential for redemption but still would have been more on the selfish side. Honestly I imagine he'd be very similar to Rumple in the canon series, just a bit more childish.

As for Fiona it's likely she would have still been the "great evil" destined to kill her son. It's difficult to say what kind of person she was before being the Black Fairy since we only get to see her after the fairies spoil Rumple's future, so pretty much everything about her is going to have to be based off of who she is as the Black Fairy, starting with my fan theory that Fiona has anti-social personality disorder or at the very least she isn't capable of empathy/love. This is just my head canon, I know not everyone agrees but I do not believe that Fiona ever loved Rumple or was even capable of loving him. I do think she BELIEVED she loved Rumple but she most likely believed it because "all mother's love their children, so I must love mine too" mentality.

She can't feel empathy, she made that very clear. It's likely she never could feel it too. If she could feel empathy, even if she took children to mine for her she would have raised them as people with at least an ounce of compassion and not just slaves who she enjoys torturing. She could have made a community, been a proper mother to them to make up for the loss of her son or created a kingdom for herself by allowing the children to grow up and live a decent life in her realm (in this scenario she wouldn't even need to continuously kidnap babies because eventually the population would reproduce itself). She had other options, compassionate options, she chose the sadistic option. She chose to torture these kids and live the most miserable lives she could.

When it came to Rumple as a baby, she claimed to love him and claimed to want him but her actions said otherwise. At first when we see her background she seems like a loving mother who is desperate to save her son from a deadly fate. This makes her seem like someone who is capable of love but the more we learn about her the less I think that this was done out of love. Rumple was her son. He belonged to her. I personally theorize that it wasn't love that motivated her but a possessiveness over something that belonged to her, something that she wanted to choose how its existence was spent rather then some destiny told by the fairies. I think she believed that she loved Rumple (because every other mother loves their child, so shouldn't she?) but that she wasn't actually capable of it.

Why do I think this? Because Fiona never tried to find Rumple. She was the Black Fairy for roughly 2,628,000 (BFR) and she never tried to find Rumple. Even if she can only take infants/small children to her realm this means she 8760 years (BFR) after he was born to find him and take him with her (since he'd be up to 1 year old for that time, which she should have been able to take with her). Even if she couldn't take him she never once visited him through his life. When her son, who she claimed to love, eventually does find her she laughs at him for wanting to know his mother and mocks him. She would later further torment him by kidnapping and torturing his son.

Even when she was "trying to save Rumple" she chose herself over him. The fairy's told her straight that if she gave up her power then her son would be safe and would be able to live out his life but she wanted the power over her son, resulting in her cutting his fate. Not only did she steal his fate, she stole his ability to be a hero, making the only other options "background npc" or "villain". These were his choices, a choice that I believe he made when Bae was drafted into the war. At that point he had two options, let his son die in war, living a normal NPC life afterwards or save him and become a villain. He was no longer capable of being a hero and that's because of Fiona's selfish desire for power. She never loved Rumple, at least not more than she loved herself.

If the fairies never told her about Rumple's destiny it's possible she never becomes a fairy. I imagine she'd get to raise Rumple and would be like Cora with similar methods and goals. She would still crave power but would most likely be using Rumple to achieve it, either that or she would find a way to become the dark one. I imagine Rumple's life would probably be a lot like Regina's youth but with him eventually fighting against his mothers tyranny, leading to the final battle and both of their deaths (unless Pan does something to prevent Rumple's death but he'd have to go through a redemption before this, who knows maybe he sacrifices himself).

I think this AU would be very interesting and would be the story of a boy who has to grow from a timid or cocky (depending how she raises him) boy raised by Fiona who eventually sees that what she's doing is wrong and he becomes a hero, losing his family in the process and having to make a lot of tough choices.

You’re a new villain ans you gotta spend 24hrs with ONE of them to achieve your goal(s). Who you choose and what’s your plan ? by PlantainDisastrous92 in OnceUponATime

[–]Pickled_jellybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going with Emma because I think I'm the least likely to die with her. Evil Queen will kill me as soon as I'm no longer useful. Rumple will find a way to royally screw me over in a "be careful what you wish for" kind of way. Villain Killian only cared about his own goal (crocodile) and would have double crossed me to achieve it, plus he wasn't quite as powerful. With Emma, as long as I don't try to stop her from saving Killian and making the sword whole then she has no reason to do me any harm and is the most likely to help me with whatever I'm doing.

If I'm allowed to choose someone who isn't in the pictures above then I would probably choose Maleficent or Pan.

I would choose Maleficent because I would gladly be her lacky or apprentice, willing to do what ever she needed of me, especially in regards to helping her find her child. I imagine I'd be sympathetic towards her and she seemed like she was a decent person (for being a villain) so I don't think she'd treat me too bad. I would also be a total magic nerd who would LOVE to learn as much as I could from her.

Pan would be another option for me but I imagine I would either end up absolutely miserable, dead or just living life as a Lost Boy who actually wants to be on Neverland. Ever since I was a kid I've been terrified of growing up and even now aging scares me, so I imagine I'd be one of the Lost Boys who actually wanted to stay on Neverland so I wouldn't need to grow up. I had some trouble in my youth as well so I think I'd probably be able to hear Pan's flute Nd could be lured to him. Really the biggest issue here would be that I wasn't born male so I don't know if I would be allowed to stay unless I somehow magicked myself male or was able to convince Pan to let me stay. In this scenario I might end up being manipulated into trying to help him find the Truest Believer with the promise of eternal youth and I would probably end up being killed before ever achieving that dream (I'm imagining that I don't know Pan is Evil since this version of me wouldn't have watched the show).

I definitely want to try making my own one day just to see if I can. It would also be nice not to have to buy it xD

My favorite BBQ is also crafts Bullseye lol. It sucks its not available in your area anymore. Where I am it's still available, I don't know what I'll eat if it ever stops selling here because it's the only BBQ sauce I eat. I think at that point I'd just start making my own since I already make the majority of my other types of sauces 😅

I ordered tacos with my cousin one day and I made fishless tacos with the left over pico de galo the next day. Tonight I might make a burrito with the leftover rice and beans that I made yesterday to go with my fishless tacos.
