alright, it looks like the “kinda aesthetic kinda sexual” orientation label is quasisexual, which i have mixed feelings about
cons: a bit obscure even by a-spec label standards(in other words the community is 3 people and a shoelace), no flag, already a word that is in use as something other than an orientation label
pros: i don’t have to coin something myself, and uhhhh
i scare people lots because i walk very softly and they don’t hear me enter rooms so when they turn around i’m just kind of there and their fear fuels me
the amateur chef that likes to cook for fun and doesn’t know how they made it that far into the show
the struggling chef with a tragic backstory
the loud italian that won’t stop making italian food and announcing that they’re italian every chance they get
the chef that’s only good at making desserts and panics when it’s an
entrée
the southern chef that goes on about fried chicken, sweet potatoes, pies, corn, and their family of 40 all the time
the care-free charismatic chef that’s just there for the experience and is okay with going home
that one chef that always does everything last minute and can’t manage their time even if their life depended on it
the chef that’s always safe and never wins anything and then the one time they try and do something different they get eliminated
the one stressed-out chef that never knows what the hell they’re doing but manages to succeed and pull-through with their dish every time
the overconfident hardcore chef that wants to destroy everybody there and tries to cheat if they get the chance
the asian chef that makes delicious dishes and plates them in a gorgeous way every time
the edgy chef with tattoos up and down their arms that no one really has a problem with
an extremely experienced chef that shouldn’t even be there
the chef that won’t stop taking risks and putting twists on all of their dishes
the chef that we barely get to know and gets eliminated first and can barely remember that they ever existed by the end of the show
the hipster that always talks about their blog/food photography and gives an “urban” and “rustic” look to all of their dishes for aesthetic and sometimes names their dishes too
that one chef that’s a klutz, won’t stop messing up almost every single one of their dishes, always forgets ingredients, and completely doesn’t belong there yet somehow made it farther than most people for no reason whatsoever
the californian chef that won’t stop making mexican food and seafood
the foreign chef that’s just excited to be on the show
that one vegan/vegetarian chef that complains a lot
the mom that has kids at home and won’t stop mentioning how she’s cooking for them
Literally though this is SO ignored, even that book “The Knowledge” which is supposed to be all about how to accelerate the reboot process if civilisation collapses,
the entire subject of clothing production
from fibre sources to weaving
is given less than six pages (of 288),
and pretty much all it has to say (less than a page) on the vital matter of spinning is “did u kno spinning wheels are a thing; Da Vinci invented the spinning flyer and it’s really cool it’s so cool and Da Vinci is cool; you can make rope”
Like ok buddy, good luck with that.
Spinning wheels have a lot of parts and break easily,
and spinning
on a wheel is actually a specialist skill that has to be learned & practiced, so even if you do miraculously find one laying around in full working order after the apocalypse, good luck figuring out how to use and maintain it.
Good luck figuring out which whorls and bobbins to use and when and why. Good luck figuring out how to
adjust the band
or lace the flyer to control tension and gauge. Good luck with your shitty unset, unplied, uneven
yarn that you can’t even use because you ignored knitting and crochet. Good luck weaving your unset, unblocked handspun. Good luck with your weak, shitty rope. Sure glad you used that pagespace to tell us how the spinning flyer was one of the few of Da Vinci’s inventions that were implemented during his lifetime, instead of explaining how to set & block spun fibre to make it usable. That’ll keep you warm.
Godspeed you naked dumbass.
Never forget the episode of Naked & Afraid where the girl knew how to weave grass into a hat and outfit and the man just got horrible sunburns all over his body.
i mean, i THOUGHT that’s what quoisexual meant but i haven’t ever actually checked to see so idk?
my understanding is that while i could probably get away with using quoisexual to mean that, the /actual/ definition is more along the lines of “i can’t tell if this is sexual or aesthetic/wtf even is sexual attraction”, not “i experience a blended form of these types of attraction”
i mean, it’s similar and i kinda get the impression that a lot of quois wouldn’t be especially bothered by sharing a label with me, but it’s just not quite accurate, y’know?
