Inlovewithabsol's definitions
The quality of being new to a craft and not having learned the conventions and tropes of it, making it very easy for one to start experimenting with it without getting bogged down in the finer details as veterans of such crafts often will. Applies mostly to the arts, such as drawing and music production. Derived from the term tabula rasa, Latin for 'blank slate', representing the idea of one's mind being a blank slate ready to be populated with new information.
"I used to do art all the time, but delving into all the art meta killed all that tabularasaness that was keeping me going. Now my creative drive is running on fumes if anything at all. It's really depressing."

Get the . . .mug. A dessert consisting of chunks of stale bread soaked in a sweet custard mixture before being baked. Often paired with a thick vanilla sauce. Despite the strange concept, it's a very easy dessert to make with often disproportionately delicious end results. Be warned, however: if you make this recipe for an event, its attendees WILL start hounding you to make more and more of it for them in the future. It's just that good.
I made some white chocolate bread pudding for my mom's birthday party last week, and it turned out really good! So good, in fact, that now people won't stop talking about it with me...

Get the Parapsychologymug. When a video game developer, typically Indie, releases an update for their game without performing thorough quality control checks beforehand, causing the update to introduce new bugs in their game. Eager to fix these issues, they release a hotfix to patch the issue, but it only introduces even more bugs to fix. Lacking patience and any sort of effective quality control protocols, the game developer ends up releasing dozens of hotfixes for their previous hotfixes, creating an avoidable amount of hotfixes that would've been unnecessary had the dev taken more time to perform all necessary testing to identify potential flaws with their changes.
user1: "wtf is with all these hotfixes?"
user2: "the dev made a hydra hotfix and had to go on a wild goose chase to get everything fixed"
user1: "ffs does anyone even know what quality control is anymore"

Get the Hydra hotfixmug. A more refined form of argumentation from simpler times. Unlike modern argument, where one party seeks to assert emotional dominance over the other through the employment of manipulative tactics, classical argument involves the pure exchange of information and growth of one's own understanding of the world. The outcome of a classical argument is the mutual growth of logical fluency, where both parties are able to recognize flaws in their own reasoning and leave with an improved philosophical maturity.
