Eating my way through Perth (Australia)
So I visited Perth twice this year, once in August, and then again in November.
The following are random food pics from my August visit, basically stuff I thought was beautiful to look at and delicious to eat.
My wonderful friend G hosted Joan and I in Perth. On our second day, G had a work thingy to attend to, so Joan and I made ourselves at home and made a simple breakfast of eggs, tomatoes and bacon before we headed out for the day.
I can't remember exactly what was going on, but I think we were making dinner and G prepared this charcuterie board for us to snack before our dinner guests (Ray, who is G's sister and my childhood friend, and her husband Tom) turned up.
Not the nicest picture of an absolutely delicious Turkish cheese spinach pie thingy that we had at Fremantle.
A Sunday sesh at G's favourite place, the Amberton. Had their signature cocktail, a pavlov (first pic), followed by a trio of very pretty gin cocktails.
After the Sunday sesh (and a wild night out on Saturday), we wanted something warm, soupy and restorative for our bodies (and souls). It was also winter so temperatures were like 10 degrees and we were freezing. We thought a steamboat would be nice, and lo and behold, G actually had an electronic steamboat! So a quick trip to Spud Shed and some food prep later, we sat down to the cosiest steamboat dinner, right at home!
I tried black pudding for the first time! It was even better than I imagined!
Big breakfast at a cafe that I can't remember the name now.
Home cooked dinner by Joan and I; Joan made the stir fries while I made the fried rice.
Lunch at Elizabeth Quay.
Homemade begedil! G used up some dinner leftovers to make mee soto (a Malay-style noodle soup dish) to go with our begedil.
G was complaining that Joan and I were buying too much food and that we should finish it up before we left, which was exactly what I did when we decided to have an impromptu picnic one of the afternoons at Yanchep. I used the remainder of the black puddings (it comes in packs of four) and cooked it together with some leftover white rice; it turned out to be a really tasty combination! If you wanna try this out, just remember that I am in the inventor of this simple dish! ;)
This was a delightful breakfast I would make myself almost every morning: Goat cheese melted on top of toast, drizzled with oil from the jar that the goat cheese was steeping in. Crunchy bread, melting cheese and all that ripe saltiness felt like a festival in my mouth. I am salivating just thinking about it!
Dinner on our last day: creamy pasta, roast lamb and potatoes and a simple salad, all made by G. Best farewell, really.
I'll always remember this trip as being one of the most fun trips to Perth, because of all the laughter, all the good food and the best company one can ask for.
As I write this, I can't help but think about the shitty few months I had earlier this year, and then to be thrown into the wonderful company of my friends who probably didn't even realize were helping me feel better while they were cracking jokes and making me laugh.
I can't be more grateful; I feel a lot better now and I am definitely in a better head space than I was before.
That aside, as mentioned earlier, yes there was a second trip to Perth which I will write about another time.
Adios.

HELLO my tumblr twin, it’s your turn to share something spooky from where you’re from!
Tales From the Perth Regions
Okay I dragged my Dad into helping me answer this ask because that man knows everything there is to know about The Happenings of this area.
These are my favourites.
The Satanists of Kings Park
To those unaware, Kings Park is one of the largest gardens within a city in the world. That place is fucking massive, and contains a lot of thick bush. One of the landmark buildings in the park is the DNA tower, named after its shape.
Also, unrelated but the vantage point from the top of the tower is pretty neat.
Popular local legend goes that from the mid to late 70s a group of Satanists and Devil-worshippers would gather on full moons at midnight to have meetings and dances on the tower, terrorising any outsiders that dared to get close. Over the years a few homeless people who slept in the park have gone missing or found dead leading many to believe they were sacrificed in a ritual.
My Dad never personally got chased out my a mob of Satanists, but many of his mates claim to have seen their dances.
Personally, I find this one rather rude. Im a bit miffed I didnt get an invite to these meetings. Mayhaps the kings park satanists are a tradition in need of revival.
The Wreck of the SS Alkimos
Boy oh boy this is a long one. Buckle up.
No idea about how much of this is factual, but as requested this is as much of the story as I can recount as it is told through the broken game of telephone.
Upon its construction, the Alkimos experienced its first tragedy. The story goes that during construction, eleven workers were trapped between layers of metal. They all suffocated to death. Some say their bodies werent found for days, while others say their corpses were never removed.
The ship saw active service in WW2 when its second tragedy occured. Some radio operator was killed in a muder-suicide on board which was covered up as an enemy attack. Apparently the radio opperator was the first Toronto woman to die in active duty during WW2. Her name was... Maud? I think? Her ghost is said to haunt the Alkimos. Now, this is a detail thats neither here nor there, but Dad says many radio broadcasts were made back in the 50s on the Alkimos wreck trying to document it for the public, but almost all of them failed or experienced a malfunction during transmission. Bit of an odd coincidence, no?
Now on to the weird shit.
On a trip to W.A., the Alkimos wrecked on Beagle Island. It was salvaged and towwed to the Freo ports for repair. It was then towwed out by an ocean-going tug boat to Kong Kong when the tow cable broke, and sent Alkimos right back to wreck on the coast of Freo. They flooded the hull to keep her stationary, and posted an onboard watchman. Dad says this watchman was driven off the job, claiming the ship was haunted. The Alkimos was repaired one again, and was leaving for the Philippines but the tug assisting got recalled due to a storm and Alkimos took anchor. The anchor broke, and sent the Alkimos back to run aground at Yanchep, only an hour-ish from Freo port. They gave up trying to restore her after that, and there she still remains to this day.
And now the bat-shit stuff.
Multiple scrapping companies attempted to scrap parts of the Alkimos over the years after everyone gave up trying to fix her. One company reported that every time they tried, a fire would break out on board. Every time they came back the fire would somehow restart and drive them away. A few of these companies went bankrupt soon after. Thus, the legend that removing any part of the Alkimos was an omen of terrible luck.
It is said that many ghosts haunt the wreck. The most famous being Henry, the ghost of an elder man in gumboots and an oil skin. Apparently he's nice enough. My Dad's mate, Jack Sue, wrote a book about the ship ( The Ghost of the Alkimos) and during his stay on board the ship for research he bunked there over night. He said that he woke one night to pained moans from the nearby bunk, and upon turning on his torch, the sheets of the bed went sailing across the room. He said that you could hear voices aboard and the smell of cooking despite it being abandoned. He took a spice rack off the ship, and immediately was hospitalised with some sort of lung infection. However, his lungs were already fucked by the war, so its not like it was very out of the blue. He died fully convinced the ship was haunted, and he was not the sort to shake easy.
Around the late 1960s, champion swimmer Herbert 'Shark Bait' Voigt attempted an unassisted swim from Cottesloe Beach to Rotto, an island off the coast of W.A. (from which the main access point is via the Freo port) Anyway, he was never seen again. A few weeks later, about an hour north of his departure point, his skull was found floating above the wreck of the Alkimos my an escaped prisoner. Some versions of the story say is was found over the wreck, some say about 200m off the wreck, and others say it was found in the flooded engine room. Nobody knows for sure. Regardless, the cause of death was never determined.
The Alkimos has been blamed for so many misfortunes, deaths, mishaps and the like in the area that its impossible to tell you all of them. My Dad even blames a missing half a tank of petrol on the Alkimos from when he rode there.
If you want to learn more, i bet that book would be a great place to start.
Either way, seems like a great scuba place to me! I will for sure be diving what remains of the ship the second I get the chance. And I will be taking what ever I can get my mits on from the wreck.
Sadly, almost all the ship is underwater these days, but nothing a snorkle cant fix! If I go missing after announcing a trip there, you will know why.
#rewriting this whole ass essay bc tumblr didnt save my draft#batshit aus things#western australia#you may be a trains autistic but i am a shipwreck autistic. specifically haunted shipwrecks.#i froth at the mouth over a good ship wreck#i wanna go there so bad#i dont usually believe in ghosts but the Alkimos is WEIRD#kings park satanists plz invite me#i dabble in satanism and i wanna be a local legend#asks#moots my beloved#Lost is my tumblr twin#Oh! and also the perth hills people believe there are panthers and tigers and shit in the local bush

Fried Carbs
Afternoon drinks and snacks at Ocean's 27 @ Alkimos
While having drinks at a bar in Amberton, G asked why fries taste so good.
I told her it's because fries are fried carbs.
Fried? Good.
Carbs? Good.
Fried carbs? BEST.
End of story.

Made some Toyhouse icons for some Gallecross characters including the boys of course but also including some side characters!
Jazakhza (manticore), Alkimos (sphinx), Governor Vivian Trevill (faun), Mayor Lyniara Heqeta (swanmaiden/siren), and Wither (serpentfolk) & Boon (ogrefolk).
The cross-shaped pupils indicate that someone can use magic either thanks to being trained (black pupils) or having it innate from birth (colored pupils).

@ostrichmonkey
They've got a size difference to begin with in their monster forms (and also it's reflected when they're both glamoured as well), but yeah they do occasionally do some pred-play where one of them (in monster form) pretends to hunt the other (in glamour form).
And also also yeaaaaaaaah lmao Jaz particularly enjoys that as a form of dominance.
