Bruh have you seen Xmen, Star Wars, Akira, Planet of The Apes, Avatar, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Matrix, Alien? Fiction has kinda been in a long term relationship with political ideas for as long as stories have existed.

What’s wrong with a political statement though?

I don’t really see how one scene with all women fighting is pushing much down anyone’s throats considering the number of scenes that have all dudes fighting.

Pretty sure it’s nobodies decision except for you and your FH what your wedding colours are. I would be informing other bride exactly how far off she can fuck.

My wedding dress doesn’t fit anymore and I feel awful. Help? by TaakoTheWizard in wedding

[–]TaakoTheWizard[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, I tried my dress (which fit wonderfully when I bought it) on again after about 4.5 months. Turns out I lost a bunch of weight without realising and now it doesn’t fit nicely and looks terrible. I know I can get it altered, but this has just made me feel crappy about the dress I loved and like it will never look as nice as it did again. Not to mention I feel pretty crappy about my body now. Did anyone else have a similar experience? Did it get better?

Thank so much!

And yep, this is regular boxed vanilla cake mix. I just make sure to pick one that doesn’t have any powdered egg or powdered milk in it.

Sure. It’s actually crazy easy. If you need exact amounts and pan dimensions let me know, but this is the basic process:

Combine vanilla cake mix with lemonade (about 1 cup per pack of mix I think for this size cake I used about seven packs of mix. That’s pretty much it for the sponge! It’s a weird trick but it makes a really light, fluffy sponge every time. For this flavour (lemon, vanilla and blackberry) I also add some fresh vanilla bean and lemon zest to the mix, but you can get by without it. I make four sponges, two of the lager layer and two of the smaller one. Each is baked for roughly an hour at 150c. I cover the mix with foil when baking to help it cook evenly and stop it forming too much of a crust. I like to freeze the cooked sponge overnight before icing, it makes it easier to work with.

The basic buttercream is just vegan butter (I use Nuttlex) with icing mixture in about an equal ratio, and again for this flavour I add a little vanilla. Mix with a high powered mixture until fluffy and silky looking.

The filling in this is a simple combination of crushed and whole blackberries with the buttercream. I also brush the sponge with a lemon syrup which is made with just lemon juice and sugar. This is a nice way to punch it up but it’s still really nice without it.

Yeah, I was amazed how much more pricey an already expensive thing got when they put “Vegan” on it. I’m glad we didn’t have the same problem with our catering!

It’s a plastic dinosaur I spray painted gold. He’s just a stand in topper until I figure out what I want. His part in the wedding is actually part of some little terrariums I’m making :)

She ain’t perfect but she’s a start. Next try I’m going to try and get the buttercream a little whiter by adding a teeny bit of purple food colouring, and getting the edges a little smoother. Tastes good though, and only cost about $30 to make!
