I read voraciously, write occasionally, and take a lot of photos of food and cats. Queer, married, she/her. 🇨🇦

oh yeah, agreed. It’s the moment when her mouth is on his throat and he’s trying so hard to hold himself back.

awwww they look like they had fun but in that first photo she is definitely projecting “I’m gonna seduce him so hard”

Mary @kilerkki.bsky.social · 15h

I MEAN WHEW, WHAT A RELIEF

Mary @kilerkki.bsky.social · 15h

I have not! I did see Cheng Lei’s hot springs scene in Legend of the Female General tho and I’ve got to say this one was WAY more erotic despite both participants being fully clothed

Mary @kilerkki.bsky.social · 15h

Or behind as in butts pics

Whole episode actually. WOW.

Colors and movement and details in this are so gorgeous!

My WIP has a main character with an accelerated healing rate & a very dangerous job, so my timeline Excel sheet also needs to contain info on each injury & how quickly they heal. He also lives on a space station with time organized in 8-hour shifts instead of days/nights. This is pure self-torture.

No weekend deluge of kitten pics??? Who raised this kid.

Aiwen we just watched ep 14 where Buxiu appears with his flying sickle swords in Twenty-Seven’s time of need and I literally said “oh no….”

This show is giving me absolutely everything I want with Mingzai but I might be in a bad way ficway for their companion beasts

Mary @kilerkki.bsky.social · 2d

I think you were the one who introduced me to this fic originally!!!

The ultimate evolution of fusion foods: Toronto Fry Sauce.

A small blue fish (originally a cat food dish) mostly filled with an orangey gloop. Behind it are arranged 4 condiment bottles: Kozlik’s Sweet & Smokey Mustard, Korean ssamjang, Japanese tonkatsu sauce, and Hellman’s mayonnaise.

Mary @kilerkki.bsky.social · 3d

Those are stunning!

Mary @kilerkki.bsky.social · 3d

no one has ever accused me of having impeccable taste. I am treasuring this comment in my little dragon hoard...

SO HAPPY FOR BOTH YOU AND AUBREY THAT THIS SHOW TURNED OUT GOOD.

Also I'm watching too (much slower, not waking at 3 am to catch the new episode like my beloved wife...) and really enjoying it!

This is the guy who sometimes stops by with “I’m making butter tarts this weekend, would you like four??” And just asks for tasting notes to refine his recipe for next time 😭

We’re trying to convince him to start a business teaching young professionals (& older ones) how to cook/meal prep/cook BETTER. He’s an amazing chef & teacher!

Then, finally, he cut it open. It was PERFECT. Exquisitely tender, no dreaded “grey line” of overcooked meat, no soggy crust or leakage. (The cleavage through one half of the tenderloin comes from the trimming & just gave us a chance to season inside, so the flavour was exceptional).

While the Wellington baked, we made Yukon gold mashed potatoes. He made a red wine sauce with shallots, thyme, garlic powder, & butter. He also reheated a red wine “gastrique” he’d made last night, sweet & tangy with caramel and balsamic vinegar.

The Wellington came out. It rested. It was torture.
