I noticed you've been making more art of Machete and Vasco after they met again as adults - is this canon? Do they get to rekindle their friendship after all, or is it still brief and bittersweet? (I love your characters and art, btw!)

Thank you! I'm glad you like them!

It's canon, I believe. After their confusing and apprehensive friends-to-lovers involvement ended in their early 20's, their paths end up crossing again unexpectedly in their mid 30's and things gradually grow from there.

#answered #kf-tea #it's not the steadiest alliance #Vasco has been stuck in a forced lavender marriage for nearly a decade but he's out of the closet to his wife by that point #their union is more like close platonic friendship than that of a husband and wife and they're largely comfortable like that #they've agreed to see other people for the common good #they're great parents and keep up the appearances well I don't think anyone suspects anything #in that day and age divorce simply isn't an option especially if you're a public figure and have a family reputation to keep up #Machete obviously isn't permitted to have sentimental or intimate relations of any kind #the two of them live in separate cities so it's more like a sporadic long distance thing #Vasco is a politician and an ambassador so he takes regular business trips to Rome which is convenient #maybe Machete gets to visit him in Florence on occasion but usually it's the other way around #but between those weeks and sometimes months pass #if their relationship lasts until the end they get a good 8-9 years in so I'd say it counts as a committed long term thing for sure #or at least that's the current idea and order of events #Vasco #Machete

wow I didn’t think reblogging that tea post and then seeing people’s tags would deal me such strong psychic damage. come over I can fix you I can find a tea you will like. “I don’t like tea” how can you say that as a blanket statement when there are so many vastly different kinds of tea. head in hands

#‘it’s like coffee but not good’#while a cup of black tea does have a great deal less caffeine in it than coffee #it also has a stimulant called l-theanine which is NOT found in coffee #and the more complex combination of the two stimulants hit your system much more slowly #which is why tea doesn’t give you jitters like coffee does #anyone who’s like wow I need my coffee to survive but I hate that it makes me nauseous and gives me heart palpitations and bad breath #to you I say. wean yourself off coffee and onto tea!!!!!!!#but WAIT I can keep going. nauseous? ginger tea. sore throat? peppermint contains menthol which works as a numbing agent #green and black teas are both very high in antioxidants #chamomile and lavender do both have a calming affect #BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TASTE I hear you say #IT TASTES LIKE GRASS. try a floral tea or a black tea or chai or Thai tea #ITS SO BITTER you’re either steeping it for too long or the water you’re using is too hot #not to sound like I’m fucking uncle iroh or something I just apparnerlt have strong thoughts and feelings about tea #I can’t handle ppl going ugh I hate tea and it’s like. overbrewed lipton in microwaved tap water.#anyway MY favorites are jasmine and lavender earl grey #and currently I’m really into this corn silk tea my brother bought me at h mart #it’s like gen mai cha but even more #congrats for making it this far into my tea rant tags. if you comment your tastes I can give you a personalized tea recommendation

I don’t know murdoc but I still want to know!! hit us with #7: what do they smell like?

black tea. bergamot. lavender. vanilla. maybe just a little bit of orange blossom.

... it's london fog. murdoc smells like london fog to me. specifically london fog made with lavender earl grey. i imagine he wouldn't use perfumes or scented oils or anything like that on himself - that's far too much sensory input - but he creates and blends brews of tea. so i imagine he smells like his craft, as one tends to do.

it helps not only that he likes the smell of tea, but that he always has tea on him, or at least in arm's reach. tea is comforting to him. tea scents are comforting, good sensory input. and you never know when you might need to brew up a nice, warm cup for someone who needs it.

so yeah lmao boy's got tea leaves in his pockets. at least he smells good kjdhfdskjsm.

and thank you so much for indulging me!!! since you've said you don't know him - murdoc is my hobbit bard player character in @potatoobsessed999's tolkienverse d&d campaign, the mirkwood campaign!! i've uh. talked about him quite a bit, if you want to check this out. or this. or this. x3

#thank you so much anon for sending me asks about my little guy i would kill and die for you ;w;#you have my bow and my sword and my axe #i just love my little guy a lot!!!#;ww; <3333333333 #spent entirely too long trying to figure out if there was a word for someone who like. comes up with different tea blends and like.#picks/dries the herbs themself. IN ADDITION to brewing it.#like murdoc Makes Teas. he makes blends that taste/smell like people and places he cares about. or pair w/ things they like.#he has a brew for himself & that's the one i think he smells like.#but lavender earl grey is my irl favorite and i associated him with it accidentally so now that's His Brew to me #even if that's horribly unoriginal of me #brb accidentally made myself crave lavender earl grey london fog while writing this gotta make it for myself now #mirkwood campaign #nelyo askbox

i have a hot tea suggestion if thats alright. feel free to disregard! but my personal favorite is irish breakfast (steeped for 3 minutes, i use loose leaf though so maybe tea bags are different) with two teaspoons of honey and a little bit of milk (if youre lactose intolerant you can skip the milk or use soy or lactose free milk. i think the other milk alts change the flavor too much). edit to taste.

im also a big iced tea fan but this is essentially the only hot tea i drink if i can help it

OOOH yknow i realized all the hot teas I’ve ever had were like. flower flavors. hibiscus/lavender/chamomile/ etc. maybe that’s why i don’t like the taste of them. i do try to put milk (not in the hibiscus, too acidic, it curdles the milk) and sugar in my tea now bc like as a kid tea was reserved for “you are sick and need a hot beverage, no milk or sugar” and it was miserable but now I Can Do What I Want. I’ll have to try irish breakfast w your recommendations though !

#i should also try making ice tea of the flower ones see how those taste #can i be honest. im trying to make myself like hot tea bc i want to make leo and mika’s tea from chulip #i have a chamomile/lavender tea and mint tea i just and a suitable substitute for spider lily bc Thers No Way To Get That #the monarch’s court #food mention

Even if everything else in my garden fails this year, the first harvest is IN and it is DANDELION ROOTS

#I'd have collected more but I got rained on. More tomorrow maybe #I only prep dandelion root tea once a year so I'll have to probably reconstruct my rocess from first principles for the fourth time #but that's what gardening and cooking are about probably...#I tried braised dandelion greens last year too: don't recommend #I guess dandelion wine is the one major dandelion product I haven't made yet. But I don't have the apparatus #maybe next year for fun #things currently in my garden: garlic. strawberries. blueberries. rose bush (orange). rose bush (hot pink). peony. lavender #I just gotta think what annuals I want to do (tomato seedlings did not survive)#oh I've also got feral lettuces. growing as weeds #and some young maple trees that need to get dug up. May try to recruit them to live in flowerpots on the balcony

Finally getting to some actual questions to answer! Time is a strange thing when you are only living it for one month each year. Tho for me, the gap between Octobers doesnt always feel so long, but im sure you all of you, it must feel so much longer.

As for the gaining of new tails, can you believe that it isnt some flashy and amazing display!? Of course, I did have some trouble trying to figure out how to 'place' my 3rd tail- you might notice that sometimes it can be a little 'rebellious', haha! Granted I really dont know what im going to do when I get the 4th!...or 5th.... 6th....7th.........

#october #ask #dalkenstarbyne #lavender-tea-dragon #anonymous #alolan pokenerd #tails #I am bad at math #you know sometimes I DO forget how long its been!#gee im getting old #AGAIN I APOLOGIZE #I PROMISE IMMA HAVE STUFF #as stated I have come woefully unprepared! Dx #I think im fluffy now #can you imagine #SO MUCH FLUFF

Vincent Valentine running a tea shop.

— For @/Carendsyaz1 (on Twitter)

From: Ask Box Writing Prompt Game

📖 It's Tea Story Time...

At low volume, a strangely familiar tune can be heard playing from within. Though soft and slightly somber, there was something almost bewitching about its sound. For those who felt themselves inquisitive enough to stop by or simply take a little peek inside, the melody often served to pull them in. And if it wasn't enough to keep them there, then another provocation of the senses surely would.

While the space wasn't necessarily sizeable, it was made good use of. The interior was largely cast in black, embellished with mahogany trim and other forms of furniture and decor. Rows of shelves lined the walls - all of which were lined themselves with boxes and tins containing loose leaf tea blends. In one corner, what could best be described as "Victorian Gothic-esque" tea sets were made available with respective displays. In another, a variety of delectable baked goods could be found. It was sleek, elegant and dark. Pardoning some splashes of color, at least.

A modest collection of carmine roses and other fair forms of flower were scattered about and presented daintily, accenting the shelves and countertops. While these floral arrangements were far from abundant, oddly, their fragrance seemed to prove stronger than their number. It dared to puzzle you. Before your curiosity got the better of you, however, a door behind the counter opened.

A gentleman with long raven hair, partly obscured by a headband of a similar shade, emerged with a tray in hand. Following him, a wave of an even stronger rendition of the botanical scent wafted towards you. With a lean figure complimented by a cobalt dress shirt and black dress pants, it was soon made apparent to you... He was tall, dark and... well... he was a pretty handsome fellow too. Had it not been for the metallic shimmer of his silver tray, golden arm and rather pallid complexion, he threatened to blend right into the walls. What's that? Golden arm? Why, but of course!

Donned upon his left arm was a metal gauntlet bearing a golden sheen - large, clawed and unlike anything you had ever seen an employee in your local area wear. Its peculiarity begot intrigue.

He carefully sat the tray down upon the furthest counter, retrieving a pinch of something red, then another of something violet, dropping them both into a small metal infuser. It was then that he noticed he was no longer alone.

"Welcome." He offered a simple greeting. A moment was spared as an electric kettle was given power before he turned to face you. You were met with dark crimson eyes.

For whatever reason, you felt oddly compelled to purchase a lemon raspberry scone in particular... this same compulsion drove you to remark on the "heavenly aroma" just as well. And, as was made evident, there appeared to be a tea in the making right before your very eyes... so, naturally, one would only speculate what manner of tea it could it be, right? Right! Between the redolence and an innate sense of wonder, understandably, you found yourself pressed enough to ask about it.

Logging your order, the man then offered you a subtle nod and an even subtler smile. One that was easily missed. He retrieved a box from nearby, handing it off to you with the assurance it was a similar blend. It was titled "Rose On The Grey."

Clearly, it contained flowers; rose petals and lavender blossoms deemed safe for consumption, but it also bore black tea layered with hints of vanilla and bergamot. In essence, it was a blend of traditional Earl Grey with mostly floral additions.

"Goes well with cream and sugar." He added.

As you seemed preoccupied enough via examining the tea box's contents, he excused himself a moment more, tending to the now well heated kettle. He placed the infuser into a decorative black teacup, moderately gilded. It was one of two, now.

"Would you like a sample?"

Uh, yes. You would like a sample. In fact, when he inquired whether or not you would like any additives, you insisted that it be prepared the way he would personally prepare it. To your delight, he was willing to oblige.

The lull in time placed between the present and preparing two teacups worth of specialty tea felt to pass by effortlessly. A small, intricate table made for two beckoned you over. You took a seat with your scone and the box of tea that was not quite yours (yet,) but you felt compelled to let it accompany you nonetheless. Additional details within the shop catered to the eye as you waited.

"Here." Eventually, an elegant little cup of piping hot tea was presented to you, complete with the recommended amounts of both cream and sugar. Despite the somewhat impassive fashion in which it was bestowed upon you, you can tell it was made with love. Your intuition told you so.

Lightly blowing at the steam, you boldly went in for a sip - only to be stopped with a small "mm-mm." He had his back turned to you, returning to the counter. Had he heard you? How did he know?

The man insisted that you wait just a minute or two more, lest you burn your tongue. It was as if stories of visiting tea-samplers previous to you told themselves in the way he handled the situation. Fine, you would wait...

... But when you were done waiting, it was all yours. The revered first sip of the dark, mysterious shopkeeper's tea - of which seemed just as dark and mysterious, yet sweet as he.

#🌠 Ashe Anon | Writing 📖#Vincent ⚰️🦇#Tea time and chill #🍵🥧#So...#about the “deemed safe for consumption” part...#on another episode of “I learned _ while writing”#there are apparently types of lavender that are safe for consumption #(English lavender)#and others that are considered unsafe #due to having higher levels of camphor in them #(French or Spanish lavender)#All rose types are apparently fine #though!#They just have different flavor profiles depending on the type #🌈 the more you know #thank you for the prompt!#and now for something completely different 🏃‍♂️#(written addition)

Okay y’all have more time to do this one since it’s for tomorrow night:

#don’t tell me to add mugwort. I’m out of mugwort. I need to restock in town. but not tomorrow.#6 is more manageable. easier to divide up and have a LOT of something.#I THINK I’m gonna make every 10% a measured teaspoon?? unsure.#I already weighed out WHAT these ingredients will ~do~ in the tea. now it’s just the ratios I’m handed.#I could’ve chosen lavender or rosemary. both are also good additions I’ve added to a dream potion before.#but I’m gonna be honest. I don’t trust you guys with lavender or rosemary as options! I’d like this to be edible!#(I say including valerian)(I’ll make it work)#poll #dream potion #sleep tea #tea

Nienna's halls are very much like her brother's, but meant for the living. They are peaceful and dark and quiet and tend to be a little bit cold. This isn't a problem, however, as she also has the softest blankets and fantasy-hoodie-equivalents that you have ever felt in your life. Perfect for burritoing into and dragging around like a cape when you go in search of snacks. Vaire makes them for her, as well as truly incredible numbers of handkerchiefs.

#my headcanons #tolkien #feanturi #nienna #vaire #sorrowful contemplation doesn't have to be uncomfy!#the dress code in the halls of night is pajamas and fluffy socks and i will not be convinced otherwise #orcs: *lead lives of suffering*#elves: *mourn for what has been lost*#nienna: have you heard of ✨hot cocoa✨?#she is a lead importer of valinor's chamomile and lavender for tea too #does she have perpetual mascara stains and the unending purpose of mourning arda marred? yes #will she mother-hen and comfort you into feeling better and leaving your depression nest for the first time in a yen? absofreakinglutely

If you're currently at home, pretending to be a good little christian despite the internal conflict, I see you. If you're on your own for the first time, I see you. If you feel guilty either way, I see you.

Shit's fucked! But it does eventually get easier

Do any of your Pokemon have a really weird obsession with a type of food that doesn't really make sense for them?

I've talked about Bass laser-focusing on my breadsticks every time I have them, but Wake has something even more out there.

Wake practically demands to have an Motostoke Fog every Wednesday morning. I let him try mine once when he was Oshawott and he's never stopped asking for them, specifically on Wednesday mornings.

#for those who don't know motostoke fog is earl grey tea steeped in milk #it's pretty good #some people like theirs to have lavender but i can't stand it honestly #pokemon irl #unreality #in character #graystuff #wake the dewott #bass the noibat #ooc: irl it's called a London fog

Mmmh staying up and hearing to the rain outside as I drink lavender tea and listen to an audiobook with my boyfriend. I pick out books I've heard before that I know we would enjoy listening to together and I love hearing his thoughts and commentary. Life is good. Figuring out how to socially consume books with my partner has been a wonderful domestic adventure.
