I tried Ermine for the first time because I heard it was great for piping, and Im not sure if its just the recipe I used, if I did something wrong, or if thats just how Ermine is, but it tastes like Rice pudding or mochi. Is it supposed to taste like that? I knew it was supposed to be a less sweet frosting, but for some reason, I assumed it would be like a less sweet buttercream, not a whole different flavor in general 😅

I loved the original trilogy so much, that I couldn't even begin to start with how obsessed with them I was growing up. There was a point in my life where I could recite the entire Descendants 2 script, and would perform it for my friends at recess, I had all the books, not just the Isle of the Lost ones, and I still have my Mal, Evie, Uma, and makeshift Dizzy costumes tucked away in my mom's closet. So, even though I was already a sophomore in high school when they announced the cast, I was excited to hear about Merlin Academy, because I had assumed it was like a Descendants Prequel where we get to see what the villains were like when they were teens. I was kinda disappointed to find out it was actually a sequel, but I tried it out anyways because I thought that it coming out on the day of my 17th birthday was a sign for me to watch it regardless, but I was disappointed to see how it actually turned out.

Not only was the writing and plot development awful (seriously, why would you repeatedly bring up a problem, solve it, then give us no actual pay off?), the costuming looked cheap and unnatural, they used the same 4 sets for everything, the characters are completely one dimensional, the songs were used to replace dialouge instead of provide actual insight into a characters traits, motivations, or inner monolouge, no major life lessons were learned in the end, and it completely violated the world building that was already established.

I said that, even if onlt considered conceptually, it would've been better as a spin off than a sequel, but was labeled as a sequel because of Disney's greed regarding franchising. But overall, it wasn't even a good film, even when considered as a standalone, because, just speaking in general filmography, its just bad and even worse in context.

I dont think Im being too harsh, or not considering the "Its so bad, its good" factor, because I tend to be the kind of person who defends movies that are widely considered as bad movies. I mean, my comfort movie is Camila Cabello's Cinderella, for goodness' sake. But I still get a lot of backlash for not liking the movie. I also dont think its simple nostalgia either, because I could still point out productional issues I have with the original movies, but they arent bad enough to take away from the movies themselves, because at least the movies still follow the barebone skeleton of plot development and musical structure, which is the least a movie could do. Even bad movies with production values cheaper than a good value couch still have complete plots. Is it really just me who cant look past all of that??

I dont know if this is a hot take, but we've seen a random influx of people posting about tweens using subs while they go through puberty. So what if they dont feel comfortable in their own body and want to use subliminals? Isn't that what we're all doing? Just because they're going through puberty, doesnt mean they can't use subliminals to nudge them in their desired direction. Yes, they'll want to post their results, and sure puberty might have a hand in it, but can't we just hype them up anyhow? I really think all of these posts might just be unmotivating people, but ain't this reddit for doing the opposite? To create a supporting and uplifting community of subliminal users??

At around 8:30 and again just now at around 10:57, I heard a really really loud booming sound outside. Does anyone know what those were??

Hi!! Ive been looking all over to try and find a way to learn Bisaya- not Filipino, not Tagalog, I mean specifically Bisaya. I got most of my knowledge so far from my family, but itd be nice to have a way to actually learn the language while Im away for college. It seems there are a bunch of sources for filipino and tagalog, but none for Bisaya?? So I was hoping someone here maybe knows?

Ive been trying to shift for almost 6 years now, and every method Ive tried (and I've tried A LOT) are all starting to melt together and feel extremely repetitive, so Im thinking maybe if I switch it up and find something fresh and new, it'll motivate me again! Please let me know if you have anything that you think would help! Thank you!

Do yall remember the trend back in line 2018 where people ate a specific berry called a Miraculin Berry that made everything sour taste sweet? Is there anything like that for spice? I have the spice tolerance of a paper towel, and I think it tastes so good but hurts so so so bad. Ive tried the dairy route or working up to it, but it seems to do be doing absolutely nothing for me 😭

I have next made a DR based off an animated show or anything, but Ive recently been considering going to a DR based off the game Breath of the Wild. For anyone who shifted to a reality based of something that started off animated, what was it like? Was visualizing it hard? Im nervous it wont look normal and will look like people cosplaying, and I understand that technically I can script that it wont, but it still just doesnt register with me for whatever reason. Thank you!

I live at Aggie Village and Ive been trying to figure out the closest building the bots will deliver to so I dont have to walk too far, and so far, it hasn't been very successful. Ive tried to order to Yates and to Guifford, but both times my order was canceled. So has anyone figured out just how far they will go??
