(I made enough to have it for dinner tonight too! Yay!)
This looks terrific! What’s Lazy broth?
I am a huge fan of those super proper, home-made ”all the veggies and left over chicken/bone bits” broths, but 1) I never have the spoons or the space to make and store it, and 2) I’m really bad at it anyway – so Lazy Broth is just me taking whatever little cubes of broth I happen to have at home, throw ’em in a pot with enough chili and garlic to repel any vampires and/or germs within a ten mile radius, add some other spices, and hope for the best.
This particular one is:
A lot of water
2 cubes chicken broth
1 cube veggie broth
2 giant cloves of garlic
Curry, because I love curry
More dried chili flakes than what was entirely okay
Apologies to genuine ramen and the people who know how to make it
And some paprika powder
…. I might have forgotten something, but those bits definitely went in there.
The rest of the stuff is salmon, crab sticks, corn, broccoli, egg, and udon noodles.
ok so it’s not authentic but it got hot food into you and it sounds like it’s tasty! and Broth’s a BITCH to make ahead of time, so no shame in using pre-made stuff.
Headcanon: I can muster a cogent argument for why it would make more sense or make for a better story if this were the case
Heartcanon: I don’t have a particular rationale for why this ought to be the case, I just like to imagine it’s true because it gives me the warm fuzzies
Gutcanon: it’s not that I actively want this to be the case – it just unaccountably feels like it should be
Junkcanon: I like to imagine it’s true because it gives me the other kind of warm fuzzies
Spleencanon: I insist that this is the case specifically to spite the author, because, like, fuck you, sir or madam
The character of Chief from Wonder Woman was played by Eugene Brave Rock who is from the Kanaii reserve in Southern Alberta. He took the inspiration for his character from real life WWI hero Mike Mountain Horse who is also from southern AB.
In the film Chief greets Diana in Blackfoot. Shortly after they have a conversation about how his people’s land was taken away by Steve’s people.
This is how you have First Nations representation: cast First Nations actors, draw from historical First Nations heroes and if they are going to speak a First Nations language cast someone who is part of that Nation!
He also personally created his whole look. Instead of the costume designer doing what they think a native man would wear. He included things that would have personal significance to his character, not because it looks “Indian” *side-eyes the lone ranger*
Not only did Eugene Brave Rock create Chief’s whole look, he did it because they asked him to. It was a case of, “you know this, please help us do it right.” He showed up on screen and I saw that hat and my heart was immediately happy because that is not a hat you see on Native people in Hollywood, that is a hat you see on actual Native people. That was my first inkling that Chief’s character wouldn’t hurt me. And then he introduces himself to Diana. And Patty is a gift because she didn’t caption it. And it made that line a gift to Native (especially Blackfoot) viewers, because it said, this is for you. I have a lot of feelings about both Napi and Eugene Brave Rock and they are all full of heart eyes.
