My favorite response to “that’s not a word” is “then why do you know what it means?”

Every time someone within 30 miles of me says “that’s a made up word” I am uncontrollably compelled to respond “ALL WORDS ARE MADE UP!”

In a college language class I took, we talked about the Jabberwocky poem and the professor had us try to explain every word in it. When we got to ‘outgrabe’ she asked why it was past tense and my response was “Cause the present tense is outgribe”. Her response was “That doesn’t answer the question but that brings up a better one. Why do you know that?”

of all Riccardo Estli's compositions, I think his "Katya's Waltz" from the Goncharov score is one of his most beautiful

OH YOU SNEAKY—

The way I was like “oh that’s a pretty composition what’s the joke?” And didn’t even recognise it

this is too cute.

See this, this is what I like about TikTok. Little moments like this

[ID: A TikTok video. The original contains two trans women, one of whom is saying "Wanna see what two trans girls do behind closed doors?" as she closes a door. There are three duets (response posts that are glued to the video they're responding to), of men who say "is it Warhammer?" as the original video pans to a table.

The woman says "It's fucking Warhammer." All three of the men cheer enthusiastically. /end ID]

I don't CARE what genre your fictional world is, put a talking skeleton in it NOW

Eliot definitely tags along on Parker and Hardison’s dates to:

Eliot always wants to know what restaurant they plan to go to, and clearly has Opinions about their choices, even though he doesn't directly critique them to their faces. Hardison and Parker pretend not to know that the distinction between Eliot-approved restaurants and Eliot-annoying restaurants is correlated to which ones see them walk in and just preemptively make some room for the vigilante chef they know will follow versus those that try to call the cops on the dude invading their kitchen.

Although, realistically, I think Eliot would have dueling motivations of 1) wanting to meddle and make their date perfect but also 2) being appalled and wanting to shut down any restaurant that would allow food to go out to a customer after a stranger got in the kitchen and meddled with it. For one, because what other safety issues are they playing fast-and-loose with if they let outsiders get away with barging in and mucking around with the food? And second, because he probably knows way too many ways to surreptitiously poison food that regular restaurant staff wouldn't know how to spot even if they thought to watch for it.

So perhaps the dichotomy is "restaurants where Eliot has managed to set up a cover that allows him to 'legitimately' barge in and do this" (in some cases to bemused or enthusiastic acceptance; in others to the great annoyance of the actual chef) and "restaurants where Eliot has no plausible excuse for getting in the kitchen to intervene." (Plus a niche third category of "restaurants with stories swirling about the most opinionated, meddling health inspector ever who didn't actually touch any of the food but kept trying to give flavor advice backed by an implicit threat of a bad rating" from before Eliot figured out which covers actually worked for his purposes.)

The Mystery Chef who has some kind of arrangement with half the restaurants in Portland (Despite being rumored to have his own restaurant somewhere? Seriously, how does this dude have the time?!) is on the conspiracy boards alongside Roy Chappell, Kenneth Crane, and Jacques LeBert. There is more than one early-career chef in the area who insists that Mystery Chef taught at their culinary school, but still have absolutely no other identifying information for him beyond "Chef." Most restaurant staff think it's either an urban legend or a inside joke to play on the newbies... until Hardison and Parker happen to pick their restaurant for date night.

some of the best additions to this post are in two flavors:

type 1: eliot still being in denial

@agape-emo-eros: #he would#and still pretend he doesn't want to date them

@siobhanhawthorne: #before all three start to date

type 2. appreciating eliot and what he would do

@benwvatt: #he also fixes hardison’s bow ties#and picks the mixtape for their group road trip

@velveteencryptid: Help Hardison pull off outrageous romantic gestures (most of which are just illegal but Parker finds them romantic)

@trashcan-trashfan: override their wine pairing choices

@caseys-breanna: #acts of service bf fr

@emilyarmadillo: #he's a romantic!

ALSO a fic idea from @miamatx: #look at this amazing head canon#id like to read fic about it#from the perspective of outsiders#other chefs#wait staff#musicians#the actual health inspectors#door men

there HAS to be a reason for this
