One of my favorite tropes is “Villain Decay”. It’s not a redemption or reformation – the character themself doesn’t necessarily change morally or behaviorally, but the as the stakes become higher and more serious antagonists are introduced, the original villain seems harmless and friendly in comparison.
Answering “so what do you like?” with a twenty minute explanation, a spreadsheet, a flow chart, several levels of exemptions, and the knowledge that you’ve only covered like half of everyone…
So how’s this for an interesting take on integration. We’re considering legally changing our name. It’s always bugged everyone else when they have to give my name, and I hate having to play default because, well, it’s my name. If we change it to something that isn’t owned by any of us, it’s a collective title that any of us can take on as needed. It’s a public front to present, if you will.
Therapist loves the idea, and it’s really been growing on me. I made myself promise to give it six months at least, because I know I’m impulsive as hell and legal stuff is not something to take lightly, but it’s been two now and I’m already getting antsy about waiting.
From someone who worked at starbucks. If you have a milk/dairy allergy AT ALL. DO NOT. I repeat. DO NOT. Drink Pumpkin Spice.
It contains dairy IN the syrup that is used to make the drink. Even if you get it made with soy, you will still be getting doses of dairy in there.
Depending on the severity and intolerance it can and will cause reactions. I found that as a barista I was constantly warning people about the dairy in the product. No one ever seemed to tell them that there was dairy in the mix. More times than I can count I heard people realize that’s why they kept having reactions, or that’s why it made them sick.
People legitimately do not know that pumpkin spice no matter what you do will always contain some amount of dairy.
