The WIP Game
I was tagged by @chiptrillino for this one.
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
I will not be doing that, actually, because my WIP folder is my unsorted Google drive going back to 2008, and I do not have that many mutuals. So you'll be getting a collection of random fics from the apparently 16 years since I sold my soul and I'll tag three of you to spread this plague. Capisce?
Format goes: "File name" (last modified date)
"Sakura Samba" (2008)
"Who Survived and What Remained of Them" (2008)
"Pride, Prejudice, and Necromancy" (2019)

Tumblr media
"Let's hide until the morning, destroy the clock, and then run away. It's the safest I can think of"
"A sensible decision, but didn't you say that we might not have the time to get everyone?"
"... We are gonna have to try"
"And, uh, call the police? Maybe?"
"Don't they come included with the bomb squad?"
"Oh, right"
"Although, what will happen then? Will they arrest the house? Us? Coli already has gotten out of jail without problems... this is an issue.
Agh, one problem at a time!"
"I'll message Vivi"
"Wait! Technology!"
"Ángel you're right!"
".... I am, yes"
"Aside from us three, the rest are all family! So they have eachothers numbers! We can just tell them to post about a bomb in the bar on the family groupchat or something like that"
"Yeah! I certainly was hinting towards that, no doubt"
"Tell Vivi to go to the main room. Did she answer?"
"Yep, take a look"
Tumblr media
"... Does. Does she only communicate through images of cats?"
"Sometimes the cats have text over them. Other times, she writes a 10 paragraph message in one go.
Really, it depends on the situation"
"Is this a cat pictures situation??"
"This is not her first bomb threat. Look, she even has a kitty deactivating a bomb image"
"... Descriptive.
Anyways, let's get there"
They get inside the house and walk towards the main room
Tumblr media
"So, how are we supposed to find anyone?"
"Well, Marigold is usually somewhere in the main room, but that's not assured. I think we'll just have to search all the rooms here until-"
Tumblr media
"Ah, nevermind"
Simon and Owen appear from the room to the Lounge #2
Tumblr media
"Private Detective Beebo and Detective Assistant Ángel here, we are gonna need you two to come with us"
"Oh wait, is this the wallet where I have the picture of Mozilla Firefox or the one with the shiny pokemon card. Guess it's too late now"
The teens are surprised
Tumblr media
"We didn't do anything! And if we did it was an accident or in good intention!"
"The supermarket had a terrible cart organization. We didn't know they weren't allowed for racing!"
"It's not considered trespassing if the owner of the property wasn't watching and we didn't know!"
"We are minors! Legally we have the right to make a lemonade stand! It was just an alternative recipe!"
"It was the farmers' fault to have such an easily hackable door to his goose enclosure!"
"Hey, hey, calm down, it's nothing about - wait, you let out the 30 to 40 geese??"
"What Beebo here means is that this is not about your possible crimes. This place has received a confirmed bomb threat, and we are here to take you to a safe zone while we deal with it"
"Oh wow, Ángel is learning the ways of the detective"
"There's a bomb? Why"
"Uh. Probably for harm"
"That's so lame. I would rather have a cool bomb"
"... You need to be studied, little creature. Anyways, follow us"
They walk in formation
Tumblr media
"By the way, Boss, why the main room?"
"Well, you said it. It's a relatively safe zone.
It's close to an exit and far away from the point of explosion. I fear that it might cause a house fire or that it could trigger the other bombs.
But we can't ask everyone to just stay outside in this cold, so, main room it is"
"Also, don't call me boss"
"You're so smart, sir"
"... Stick to boss
Sir is for, um, after job activities"
Ángel looks happily surprised
They reach the main room, Marigold is there
Vivi appears from the storage room and gives a wave
Then a middle finger
Ángel answers with another middle finger
Vivi makes a silly pose with double peace signs
"Um, Miss Marigold? I'm private detective Beebo and we have worrying information about this building"
"... So, it really has asbestos everywhere?"
"What? No"
"Wait, really?"
"Is it not?"
"No, no. Um, it's actually about..."
"How to say this without causing her to panic"
"There's a bomb at the bar"
"WHAT?"
"Yeah, we don't know when it's going off, so you guys should stay here"
Marigold goes pale
"Ángel that is very much what the detective handbook says Not to do"
"Sorry, my copy was pirated"
Tumblr media
"Wh- Why?! Was it here before?! Where's everyone else?! Did someone put it!? How do you know?! I am calling the police. Where are Nadia and Nina?!?!"
"Um, uh, well, um, please calm down! We have this under control!"
"How?!"
"Excuse me, I need a quick word with my boss here"
She frantically calls the police
It might be a problem
Tumblr media
"Wouldn't it be easier on everyone if we make them remember? I still have Vivi's book"
"... I don't know.
They are fine now, I mean, this is just a shitty night with a big scare.
With the memories... welll
This becomes the most terrifying night of their life
Bejng eaten by a house, being killed.
Knowing you might get killed again"
"Yes, but that knowledge will make them more prepared to face Coli in case he comes here and does something"
"We can just lie, though! just uhh something about terrorism?"
"In an abandoned hospital? With only 8 people?"
"I, I can figure something out!"
"I'm just saying it would be way easier if we were all on the same page"
"... But would it be the best for them?"
"Well, who are you to decide that?"
"A guy who has died 3 times"
"... That's fair.
Just do what you think is best"

Happy January, everyone!
I’m going to be keeping this icon for another month or so because I like it, but here’s a monthly/yearly update regardless.
I was away for the past week or so, not really able to do much besides post chapters from my phone (did not have access to Twitter), but I’m back now. I think I’m mostly going to spend January doing a little light housekeeping (AO3 comments, tumblr asks, overdue art etc.) while I focus on some job-related stuff for the next month or couple months. I was so busy last month that I had to stop answering a lot of AO3 comments for 41 days or so? It turns out that posting 3 multi-chapter fics in that time span left me with 1,700 AO3 comments. Definitely ending the year on a bang! Thank you!
“forgiveness for whose sake?”, “love to the ones I’ve never met”, “hey, share the weight a little”, and “Sit With Your Soul” were all gift fics for FTH 2022. I intend on continuing my Daemon AU, “Sit With Your Soul”, soon, but I’d like to reread SVSSS first because I’m feeling a little out of touch with the original material. I’ll keep people updated on my progress in regards to that. I’m also going to be writing some commentary for “love to the ones I’ve never met” probably this month. I had a lot of fun with all that prompt writing (I wrote 5 fanfiction novels this year!) and now I’m going to explore some other stuff, so I don’t think I’ll be doing FTH 2023 as a writer. There’s a Moshang Big Bang (10-30k) happening soon, however, that looks a little tempting...
Out of curiosity, how did people like the daily posting of a single arc? I think I prefer the weekly format, but this was also a lot of fun.
I’m lucky enough to be at a point in my life where I can write a lot and quite often very quickly. I’ve had a lot of practice and my living situation is good. I get a lot of fun out of it. And yet creativity can be exhausting. It’s not effortless. It can be hard and frustrating work that eats up a great deal of time and sometimes feels a little thankless. Sometimes, no matter what some people tell you about how good time management fixes everything, there is no time or energy to carve out of your life. (Don’t worry, I’m in a good spot. I just want to offer reassurance.)
After posting my AO3 stats for 2022, I want anyone feeling a little down about their creative projects to know that an inability to write or draw or whatever it is that you do is not your fault. Speaking as someone still working out what boundaries to draw when, who occasionally feels down about all the things I want to do but haven’t found the time for, if you need to draw the line and announce the need for a hiatus with no clear end in sight, it’s fine. If you need to go back on your word and ask for a pause, it’s fine. Don’t walk on strained muscles goes for creative efforts too. Sometimes, you just need to put down the project and go bake yourself the easiest cookie recipe you know, or pop out to the store and treat yourself to food that you don’t have to make yourself, or just lie down for a few hours in the middle of the afternoon on your day off and do fuck all. In my busy periods, I am not actually working every hour of the day; it’s just that instead of spending my free time writing, I am more likely to be napping on the couch. It’s good for the soul.
May you have a restful 2023. ❤

HELLO!! i love your kiriko post!! the format looks so nice!! can you make headcanons with junkerqueen with a fem! short! s/o? like 5”2!! also junkerqueen parent headcanons? thank you!! :)
omfogmgognmgmgmg my first request! hwhhehekekekekksohappy
anyway, of course, DUH I CAN MAKE THAT FOR YOU ;]
(also, i dont know if junkerqueen is the parent of you or you're her wife so am just gonna)
tw ; mentions of blood, australian | fluff but with spicy at the end!
Tumblr media
junkerqueen x short!fem!parent!reader
Ah, Junkerqueen— the 7-foot-tall female who goes and all in every situation. A wild one, that. Who would’ve thought someone would catch her eye? (spoiler: it’s you)
She met you through errands of yours, somewhat connected to Junkerqueen herself. Your height caught her attention, “why is she a size of a bloody can?” she would think.
BUT NONETHELESS, you became her queen after all the times spent together. Ah, the sweet sweet memories.
Odessa LOVES how you fit onto her big-toned arms. Your warm hugs just hit differently.
She would compare her hands to yours on a daily basis and say how cute it is.
Though you are considered short and all, you're actually pretty strong. One of the reasons that Odessa pulled her heart onto you.
You use her big clothes as pajamas. Odessa would get red like a tomato after seeing you wearing her big clothes.
Odessa would dig into a pile of junk to find trinkets and music albums just for you. She calls it her whacko mixtape or something.
You two definitely shower together, in a playful way.
Somehow, using her as a pillow works as well.
She’s the big spoon. OBVIOUSLY. Well, it depends. She loves back hugs too and never complains.
Stealing each other’s blanket doesn’t exist anymore, it’s big enough for the both of you!
You have to look up just to make eye contact with her. One of the things that make her smile.
Odessa prefers that you do her eye makeup. On her lap.
You know that ''strong glare turns into a soft gaze'' in books sometimes? Yeah, Odessa does that to you.
She’s the cook of the house and makes her own recipe named after you. "KISS THE COOK, DARLING!" "Alright, alright, have it your way." "YESSSSSSSSSS!"
You use Junkerqueen as your walking heater. Her cozy, passionate body is enough for you to become warm.
You are mostly the one who takes care of her wounds and injuries. Loves the attention you are giving her every second.
Odessa would lift you up whenever you peck her on the lips. She finds it absolutely adorable. Her big hands fit onto your waist.
She would definitely ruffle and mess with your hair like a good girl.
Did I also mention that you two had a daughter together and got married? Guess not. (Odessa is the one who proposed btw hehe)
Though Junkerqueen appears scary and tall like a skyscraper, she takes care of her child in the most gentle way possible.
Would call you mommy accidentally and intentionally. "What? You ARE technically a mother, right, darling?" "Christ, Odessa... not in front of the kid, please."
Junkerqueen loves to spoil her only child, would try to be the best mother, and give her a good childhood.
Your daughter showed you a drawing of you three altogether holding hands, you burst into tears as a proud mother. Odessa laughs in the background because of the drawing.
Whenever going to get groceries— Odessa is the one who takes the best cereal at the back of the shelf. "This one, darling?" "Yes, thank you, dear."
INFINITE PIGGYBACKS GLITCH
She becomes calm and controlled because of you and the loving relationship.
DARLING, MY LOVE, BABE— her brain is pre-programmed to call you that at every sentence.
Pretty sure you're the only person who sees her with her hair down. AND SHE'S DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS WITH IT.
You love her with all your heart and she knows it. Brags about it sometimes.
Meeting her was life-changing, the feeling of regret never went inside your head while being together.
Would definitely prefer dying by your side.
A day without her makes the sky turn grey <3333333333
bonus bc am so cool (sexy stuff over here)
She likes cutting you with her knife. You know, blood. She likes the look of blood on you. (shut up i know what am doing)
Bit your tongue one time while making out. Promised she won't do it again, you liked it anyway.
definitely owns a strapSHUTJPOURTOPEJMKKL;;L'F,EGVOPRPOGK,EFMYINTRUSIVETHOGUHTSWON
Likes roleplays.
Necks and legs are her favorite place to kiss. LWARD HAVE MERuCY
Before making real real love, she would make a trail of kisses to your stomach till she's at her destined destination.
(author note; am sorry but typing specific genitalia parts makes me want to unlive myself SORRY AM GONNA TRAIN MYSELF TO SAY THOSE WORDS)
Usually three fingers. yk what I mean stop lying.
She loves to see you cry while doing it.

recipe review I guess I made a pie I want to talk about it…
ok so instead of baking a cake for my birthday I make a desert/recipe I haven’t tried before (been doing this since I was 11) , this year I tried a Earl Grey Pie. It was an American recipe and I’m not American so spending time converting the most confusing way of measuring something (fucking cups?) into grams was fun. I got the recipes from prettylittletraveler.com.
overall tasted great, my biggest issues though were the pastry , the horribly formatted (at least on a phone format) recipe and just not enough variety within the layers.
ok the reason I chose this recipe is it adds a thin layer of chocolate ganache which some other Earl grey pie recipes didn’t add. issue 1. The pastry recipe wasn’t good, I don’t know if it was just my lack of baking pastry but it wasn’t particularly flavourful and I don’t think it makes sense with this pie, a much better pie base I think and will do if I make this again would be a biscuit base ( where you smash biscuits into crumbs add melted butter mix together than press flat and let chill).One I always find biscuit bases better texture wise, it’s a better contrast with the crunchy crumbly base and the often smooth creamy fillings. Then if you make it a biscuit base it becomes a Tea and Biscuit pie which I think is just cuter in concept.
issue 2. The recipe is so confusingly formatted, all the different steps are presented in a big block of text instead of bullet points or smaller paragraphs. If your phone goes of and you need to check the recipe again it’s hard to do so and find the same place. Also for the Earl grey filling it said in the instructions to add butter after you take it off the heat for a second time yet no amount or even the word butter is listed in the Earl grey filling section of the ingredients list. Also it says use five teabags I used like 12 I think and the taste was still pretty subtle so…
issue 3.out side of the pastry it’s just cream. The layers are pastry , ganache , Earl grey filling and whipped cream on top. The Earl grey filling starts off as this pseudo tea infused custard and the texture of that is really heavy but it’s smooth and glossy. The recipe advices to add some of your whipped cream to the filling. This does make it more light and and airy to eat, it’s nice and makes sense. Then you put more whipped cream on that which is more of the same light texture but with less flavour. Then there is the ganache which is chocolate melted in cream (the recipe got this wrong, when makeing ganache you only heat the cream then use the creams heat to melt in your chocolate, the recipe said to microwave them both together at the same time. Which no… that’s wrong and not a proper ganache) so thats even more cream in the pie. And it feels fine when you are eating it and then it sits in your stomach and you realised you could’ve just drank cream and you would feel the same. Like it stops being airing and just feels heavy after you’ve eaten it. Like maybe if the earl grey filling was didn’t have whipped cream and was the same like custardy filling it might be better, it would at least have different textures which I think it needs.
Overall though did like it. I know it sounds like I didn’t but I decorated it with purple triceratops and green glitter so it was fun. I also used oat cream for all of it because of my lactose intolerant roommate. She hasn’t eaten it yet she’s still asleep, that’s mainly why I’m hear everyone is out busy or asleep and I just want to discuss the dessert I made with someone so…
how do you end tumblr posts? Bye I guess?

CONTENT MARKETING
Title: Unveiling the Power of Content Marketing: Building Connections and Driving Results
In the fast-paced digital landscape, where consumers are inundated with information, content marketing has emerged as a powerful strategy to cut through the noise and establish meaningful connections with target audiences. This dynamic approach goes beyond traditional advertising, placing valuable, relevant content at the forefront of brand communication.
The Essence of Content Marketing
At its core, content marketing is not just about creating content for the sake of it; it's about crafting a narrative that resonates with the audience. Whether it's blog posts, videos, infographics, or social media updates, each piece serves a purpose – to inform, entertain, or inspire.
The essence lies in understanding the audience's needs and providing them with content that adds value to their lives. By addressing their pain points, answering their questions, or simply entertaining them, brands can establish themselves as reliable sources, fostering trust and loyalty.
Building Brand Awareness and Authority
One of the primary goals of content marketing is to enhance brand visibility. Through consistent and quality content, brands can position themselves as industry leaders and subject matter experts. As consumers engage with valuable content, they begin to associate the brand with authority, further solidifying its position in the market.
For instance, a company specializing in sustainable living might publish informative articles on eco-friendly practices, showcasing its commitment to environmental responsibility. Over time, this content not only raises awareness but also establishes the brand as a thought leader in the sustainability space.
Nurturing Customer Relationships
Content marketing is a powerful tool for nurturing relationships with existing customers. Regularly providing valuable content keeps the brand in the customer's mind, fostering a sense of connection beyond the initial purchase. This ongoing engagement can lead to repeat business, increased customer loyalty, and positive word-of-mouth marketing.
Consider a fitness brand that shares workout tips, healthy recipes, and success stories on its blog and social media. This not only keeps existing customers engaged but also attracts new ones who resonate with the brand's values and approach to well-being.
Driving Conversions and ROI
While building connections is crucial, content marketing is ultimately a means to drive business results. Well-crafted content can guide potential customers through the sales funnel, from awareness to consideration and, finally, conversion. Whether it's through compelling product descriptions, informative case studies, or persuasive calls-to-action, content plays a pivotal role in influencing purchasing decisions.
Analyzing metrics such as conversion rates, engagement levels, and lead generation helps brands understand the effectiveness of their content marketing efforts. By refining strategies based on these insights, businesses can continually optimize their approach for better return on investment (ROI).
Adapting to the Evolving Landscape
In the ever-changing digital landscape, successful content marketing requires adaptability. Trends, consumer behaviors, and search engine algorithms evolve, and brands must stay ahead by embracing new formats, platforms, and technologies. Video content, interactive experiences, and personalized messaging are just a few examples of how content marketing continues to evolve to meet the demands of today's audiences.
Conclusion
Content marketing is more than a marketing strategy; it's a commitment to building lasting connections with audiences. By consistently delivering valuable content, brands can establish trust, nurture relationships, and drive meaningful results. In an era where consumers seek authenticity and relevance, content marketing stands as a beacon, guiding brands toward a future where connections are as valuable as transactions.

kelvin x cicero oneshot cuz its good for my soul :]] ive never really posted writing directly to tumblr SOO sorry if the format is weird but whatevs 1.7k words - fluff, a little spicy at the end but nothing more than kissing
Cicero leaned back against a tree, attempting to calm the fast pace of his breath. Generally, he prefers Kelvin stays at the base when he goes looking for materials and what not, because its safer for him. Kelvin getting hurt is a risk he's not willing to take in the slightest, even if that means putting himself in danger without him. They had a pretty efficient system. One of them could hardly hear a thing, the other could hardly see a thing, so logically they were better when they were together. Despite knowing this, Cicero would order Kelvin to stay back at camp while he went off into the dark woods to forage, alone.
That's how he got into this situation in the first place. He'd never admit just how poor his eyesight really is, but it would speak for itself when he ended up bumping shoulders with a cannibal. He was unfocused, and the cannibal hadn't moved. Sound was the only effective way he'd notice the person in front of him, so it was a recipe for disaster.
Of course they didn't take too kindly to being pushed by an outsider and before he knew it, there was about 5 others ready to attack him. The fight wasn't very long, fighting mutants all the time gives you a better chance against regular people. Unfortunately, a few of them got pretty heavy blows on Cicero, and once they were all dealt with, he needed to rest and recover his strength.
Their base wasn't too far from where he sat behind the tree, and he knew it would do him better to make his way back home. He took one last deep breath, before struggling to stand, and turning in the direction of camp.
When he got back, Kelvin was gathering more sticks for their holders. The sight brought warmth to Cicero's heart. He didn't really ask much of Kelvin once they were all set, and yet he still did whatever he could to help anyways. It was sweet. Kelvin didn't notice him immediately, but Cicero shuffling into his peripheral made him jump, nearly losing his grip on the twigs he had found. At first, he smiled when he realized it was only his partner, but it quickly faded when he saw the blood that covered him, and the cuts on his face.
Carelessly, Kelvin dropped the sticks and quickly made his way over to check Cicero out. Cicero waved him off, moving past their gate and into their base with Kelvin close behind. He was going to put what he had gathered in their proper places, but a hand on his shoulder stopped him from moving any further. Cicero glanced at him curiously, and Kelvin motioned for him to follow, seating him at one of their benches. Cicero huffed indignantly, but he didn't bother to put up a fight.
Kelvin left him for a moment to go grab some of their spare cloth and dunk it in the river. Cicero already knew what was up, turning to face his friend when he came back and sat down next to him. He closed his eyes and let Kelvin wipe the blood off of his face, lips quirking in a smile when the cloth brushed gently against his wounds. Kelvin was always thoughtful like that, it made him feel so... Appreciated, and cared for. A tender hand came to cup his face and he unconsciously leaned into it, snorting when Kelvin's movements halted for a moment. Cicero opened his eyes to look at him, and the eye contact spurred Kelvin to continue cleaning him up. His face was slightly flushed, and he was avoiding his eyes. It was incredibly cute to Cicero, and he couldn't hide his smile any longer.
His change in facial expression caused Kelvin to finally meet his eyes, and he gave Cicero a confused look. Cicero only continued to stare at him with complete adoration, partly hoping Kelvin could feel it without any words needing to be exchanged. It seems he did, because his face only got redder and he averted his eyes once more. Cicero merely relished in the sight further. The way the sun lit up Kelvin's face, his hair... His skin was slightly glistening under the suns beams, slick with sweat from the work he had been doing while Cicero was away. Kelvin's eyes were focused on his face, taking gentle care of the cuts and scrapes there. Cicero couldn't help staring when he looked so damn good.
From Kelvin's perspective, Cicero smiling at him like that made his heart stop for a few moments. Cicero was always wound tight, never letting much emotion slip if he could help it, so for him to be gazing into Kelvin's soul with that look was almost too much for him to handle. He was worried that maybe he wasn't reading him properly, and once the blood had been sufficiently cleaned, he set the cloth on his leg and reached into the pocket of Cicero's tactical vest, pulling out their notepad.
'Do I have something on my face?' He absentmindedly rubbed his cheek a bit while handing the notepad to his friend, in case he did have something there that was seeming to entertain Cicero so much.
Cicero merely chuckled reading the note, which made Kelvin even more nervous for a moment but he shook his head and scribbled a response. He was a bit hesitant to hand the paper back to Kelvin, but he could see Kelvin wasn't understanding and figured there was no harm in being bold with how he felt at the moment. Kelvin's eyes widened when he read the note.
'you're so pretty' Was all it said, and he nearly blew a fuse. His breath had hitched and he glanced at Cicero a few times to see if he really meant it. Cicero only continued to adore him, his reactions, everything about him was so perfect in that moment. Kelvin squirmed a little under his gaze, but a sheepish smile crept its way onto his face, which felt hot to the touch. He could tell by the look in Cicero's eyes that his comment was genuine, and it thrilled him honestly. No one had ever called him pretty before, it made him feel wanted in a way he didn't know he needed until now.
He timidly reached into his pocket and pulled out some aloe vera plant. He still needed to properly treat Cicero's wounds, but he found it hard to look at him at all now. Still, he cupped his face once more, spreading the familiar goo onto the sparse cuts on his partners face, before releasing him and letting out a shaky sigh. Cicero grinned at the response, and feeling brave he decided to stand from where he was, only to seat himself in Kelvin's lap. Kelvin let out a surprised yelp, looking down at him in shock, puffs of his hot breath mingling with Cicero's at the closeness. Despite his nervous expression, his hand slowly settled on his partner's hip, keeping him in place.
Cicero reached up to caress the side of Kelvin's face with his knuckles, feeling the heat in his cheeks. His eyes drifted towards Kelvin's lips and he couldn't help but admire them as well. They looked soft, and inviting, contrasting his own which were scarred and bloody half the time. He couldn't help but wonder how good they'd feel pressed against his, though. When they locked eyes again, Kelvin whimpered a bit, hoping they were thinking the same thing right now. Cicero's eyes darkened in a way that sent a shudder throughout his companions whole body, and Kelvin lifted a hand up to brush through Cicero's curls. He smiled softly at the affection and sighed at the touch, leaning in a bit and glancing between Kelvin's eyes and his lips with a sultry look on his face. Kelvin had done the same, but he still felt a bit timid, always afraid he was misreading the obvious signs he was receiving.
Cicero rolled his eyes, having grown tired of the tension between them and brought his other hand to cup Kelvin's face, pulling him in for a rough and passionate kiss. His lips felt better than Cicero could've possible imagined, the feeling threatened to intoxicate him fully. It was bliss, finally being able to connect with Kelvin this way. He had harbored the most intense feelings for his squadmate for so long, it felt like amazing to finally be pressed against him in a way he only ever dreamed of. Kelvin whined a little at the harshness of their lips locking, but that only fueled Cicero's desire, his hot breath fanning over Kelvin's mouth as he pulled away for a brief moment, only to come back with the same vigor. Kelvin wrapped his arm around Cicero's waist fully, pulling him closer while Cicero swiped his tongue against the other's lips, a silent request. Kelvin quickly obliged, the sensation of their tongues swirling around one another causing him to moan long into their frantic kiss. The sound stole the remaining air out of Cicero's lungs, and he reluctantly pulled back, gasping for breath. Kelvin's shoulders heaved the same, and he looked bewildered, excited and happy all at the same time.
They stared at one another for a moment, before Cicero chuckled at the stunned look on Kelvin's face. Kelvin couldn't help but smile as well, pulling Cicero close to him and nuzzling his face against his neck, trying to come down from his high. They stayed like that for a while, Cicero's hand softly running through Kelvin's hair and keeping him pressed close. It felt damn good, like he was getting something off of his chest that had been weighing him down for a long time. Kelvin felt the same, relieved that his feelings weren't unrequited. Knowing they held the same love for one another made them feel like everything would be okay, for the moment at least.
The kiss that had been shared would be one of many, as they would offer each other a newer, unexplored comfort while facing the demons that lurked in this hellhole. Moments like this made living on the island more like a dream than a nightmare, something neither of them would take for granted.

My first post received a pretty good response so I'm here with part two. Link to part one is below:
I'm screwing around with formatting so it looks better (hopefully)
These take place in the same universe as the others.
Anyways, to the head canons!
Ok so first of all, I want to add that Keith has anxiety and a touch of ADHD. Like specifically the kind that makes you fidget.
Keith's ADHD causes him to fidget with his fingers and bounces his leg a bit. Sometimes he can be heard snapping his fingers (a way he fidgets, he does it without thinking) while walking down the halls. Everyone has mainly gotten used to it but Lance starts snapping as well and this can cause a chain reaction that leaves everyone in the castle snapping their fingers.
Keith's anxiety makes it so he has a hard time around the whole crew and often isolates himself from conversation during meal times and such. This is why he has the reputation of the lone wolf. Allura is trying to make a habit of asking Keith questions as a way to include him in the conversation and the paladins learn something new about Keith.
Keith usually doesn't have anything to do at meal times but eat so he's started making mental note of things the others say in hopes he can use it to get closer to them at some point. Things like how Hunk is really proud when he learns a new recipe or some of Coran's old stories. He especially likes hearing the crew talk about the things dearest to them.
The crew are suprised when Keith approaches them (individually) to talk about things that they like. Keith has sat through many a demonstration of Pidge's programs and quite a few mechanical explanations from Hunk. Coran is always eager to talk about old Altea or some weird space animal. Keith has even tried to use this on Lance but it doesn't work as well. Keith can't seem to find something Lance will talk about with him.
Keith treats Allura like a sister and is really close to her. He would sooner die than see Allura hurt and knows things about her that not even Coran knows. When she was kidnapped, he advised that they don't rescue her right away because he knew she could handle herself and wanted to be more prepared against the Galra so further damage didn't come to their team. He'd rather Allura not come back to a shattered crew.
Keith had a crush on Lance back at Garrison but could never get close enough to Lance to get to know him better. Lance was always abrasive but Keith couldn't understand why. All his offers to "hang out" were met with rejection or competition. Keith tried to forget Lance but nothing could dull his feelings. Lance's cheery disposition, beautiful smile, and bad comedy that left everyone laughing made Keith admire him from afar.
Keith ended up trying to bury his feelings on the ship as well but they only grew stronger as Keith got closer to him. Lance was daring and flirtatious and not afraid to be stupid. He openly showed emotional weakness regardless of how vulnerable it made him to the crew.
Allura is the only one on the ship that knows how deep Keith's crush for Lance goes. Shiro only knows of the crush. Keith never would've told Allura but one night she kept asking about Keith's love life because he knew so much about her and she wanted to learn something about him. Keith ended up going on a tangent about Lance and his feelings until he realized that he had been talking for an Earth hour. Allura has now made it her side mission to see if she can get Keith and Lance together.
Lance's feelings for Keith get triggered every time Keith does anything really. Keith smiles and Lance is out. He zones out at the dinner table and stares into nothingness? Oh dear god Lance adores that. Every little thing that Keith does deepens Lance's feelings for him. It's like Lance's personal corner of hell. He's slowly falling in love with the boy that he's designated to be his rival. It doesn't help that Keith keeps approaching Lance and trying to befriend him.
Keith has a collection of string that he uses to make bracelets. They're usually pride themed and he has one that he usually wears (Masc gay pride flag). He's afraid of how feminine the bracelet thing makes him seem so he hides it from others. He even wears the bracelet in a way that isn't visible with the outfit he's wearing with it. He views it as a weakness.
The truth is revealed about Keith's craftiness after he makes a bracelet for Allura with the lesbian pride flag on it. Lance goes up to Allura thinking she made it but is understandably surprised to learn that Keith made it. You better believe that Keith was surprised to see Lance come up to him later to ask if Keith could make one for him. Funnily enough, Lance asked if he could make a pride flag themed one (specifically bi), not realizing that Allura's was a pride flag (Cut him a break, he hasn't seen it in months).
Lance asking for Keith to make something for him was the highlight of the week. He got to work on it, making sure it was perfect. He even put seed beads on the ends of the string to make tiny pride flags. He wanted to make it the best for Lance even if he wouldn't notice or appreciate the smaller details. Lance totally noticed and appreciated the small details.
Lance: "So Allura told me that you made the bracelet for her"
Keith: "Oh uhhhh"
Lance: "The fact that you can do that is really cool and I was wondering if you could make one for me."
Keith: "You want me... to make something... for you?"
Lance: (Now worried he overstepped a boundary) "Yes?"
Keith: (With stars in his eyes) "I'll do it."

1870s Jenny Lind Cake
This recipe has everything. Opera! Science! Vanilla extract!
Tumblr media
The specificity of this cake’s name is what first caught my eye--I knew who Jenny Lind was and I was curious as to why the cake bore her name. It also looked fairly straightforward to make, and I though that my rewatch of 1.04, with its memorable cameo by the Academy of Music (played by the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, incidentally) would be a great time to make it. (I did actually make it last Tuesday in time for my rewatch, but then I got so into the research for this post that I’m not posting it until now. Whoops.)
The recipe comes from a recipe manuscript from Massachusetts, dated 1870, but likely containing recipes from both before and after that date as well, and is transcribed in ye old trusty Food in the American Gilded Age, edited by Helen Zoe Veit. It reads as follows:
Jenny Lind Cake
Beat together 1 egg and 1 cup sugar--stir in 1/4 cup butter--Add one cup milk 1 tea spoon soda 2 tea spoons cream tartar A little salt 2 cups flour Flavor to taste--1 loaf.
It’s written in a cross between the narrative style of older recipes and the more precise format that was becoming increasingly common at the end of the 19th century, and is of course notably lacking baking instructions of any kind. However, it does include the clue that it should be baked in a loaf tin, and more precise instructions would’ve been fairly useless both to her and to me today--she would have been baking in a coal- or wood-burning stove, which had no precise heat settings and relied upon the baker to have the experience to know how to bake different genres of baked goods, like cakes, in it.
Jenny Lind, whose name first drew me to this recipe, was a Swedish opera star of the 19th century, who notably was brought to the U.S. by P.T. Barnum to do an American tour from 1850 to 1852. She was a sensation in American popular culture, and apparently any number of things were named after her--a quick search through the Feeding America cookbook archive turns up Jenny Lind’s Pudding (1857); Jenny Lind’s Soup (1870), purporting to be an actual recipe Lind’s cook made for her to soothe her chest and throat; a Jenny Lind Bread (1878); Jenny Lind Pudding (1882, totally different from the 1857 recipe); and Jenny Lind Punch (1897). I also stumbled across this wonderful blog post, listing a number of recipes specifically for Jenny Lind Cake. The first is from 1853--clearly, cooks were naming things after her almost immediately. (Indeed, a different recipe appears in a published cookbook that same year.) The post then goes on to list eleven other Jenny Lind Cake recipes, from personal cookbooks, published cookbooks, and newspapers, all the way up through 1913. The staying power and cultural relevance of Jenny Lind’s name is fascinating to me: sixty years after she had left the country, Americans were still naming recipes for her.
I couldn’t find cream of tartar at my grocery store, so I used baking powder to substitute for the baking soda and cream of tartar. Baking soda seems to have been more available in US earlier than baking powder (though the label on my brand of baking powder proudly informs me that it has been around since 1859); earlier recipes tend to use soda rather than powder. The difference of course is that baking powder has an acid, to activate the baking soda it contains, already mixed in; because baking soda needs an outside acid to react with, you’ll see recipes call for buttermilk or sour milk (most common in recipes I’ve seen), cream of tartar (close second), or another acid.
I used four teaspoons of baking powder, becausebaking powder has quite a bit of stabilizing agent (like corn or potato starch) mixed in to keep its other elements from reacting prematurely. It rose well, for a cake (which should be, well, cakey), but I’d like to try it again using the proper ingredients, and see what texture differences there might be.
For the flavoring, I of course had to use tumblr’s new favorite flavoring agent, vanilla extract. I used a scant teaspoon. Vanilla actually has an interesting history that ties in here, however, as it’s around the later 19th century that it starts becoming the “default” flavor in baked goods, the way we think of it today. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the default seems to have been rosewater, a flavor we almost never bake with anymore, but it served a similar purpose as vanilla does today, both a flavoring on its own as well as a complement to other flavors in baked goods. (This is purely something I’ve noticed from reading old cookbooks, so if anyone knows why this happened or has better sources around it, let me know.)
I ended up baking my cake loaf in a nice middling 350F oven, and it took almost exactly an hour to bake through. It got a lovely crust on top and has a very pleasant, almost birthday cake-like flavor from the vanilla. Highly recommend! It’s a lovely sort of snack cake, easy and tasty, and I will definitely be making it again the experiment further with leavenings (and flavorings--other Jenny Lind cake recipes call for spices to be added, so maybe I’ll experiment with that.)

Top  Eye Creams For Dark Circles That Actually Work in 2024.
It’s true that dark circles can become a grueling and unsympathetic guest in our eyes. They appear in the night with the intention of removing our glow and make us appear exhausted even after a great evening’s rest. Be assured Beauty fighters! Here’s a selection of the most effective eye creams that can take care of those dreadful shadows. They’ll make you look refreshed. No matter if you’re struggling with the effects of genetics or fatigue or even nighttime Netflix addiction, these Top  Eye Creams For Dark Circles That Actually Work in 2024.
Best Eye Creams For Dark Circles That Actually Work in 2024
                       Isdin K-Ox Eye Cream
The product is a real hit because it is an easily-wearable, quick-absorbing formulation which only needs a small quantity to cover the whole under-eye region. Applying the smooth texture effortlessly thanks to the application tool made from cooling ceramic and also to ensure that the product did not leave any residue when dried. The texture and moisturizing in our skin increased immediately (due to the hyaluronic acid) however the real results showed up several weeks afterward.
Even with a sleepless night as well as a couple of dull red-eye flights (plus any jet lag which goes along with them) we saw a noticeable change on how we looked. dark and puffy eyes looked less swollen and soft, as well. We were awed by how healthy our eyes looked, as well as the way smooth and soft our skin appeared, especially viewing the photos of prior and post-test at the close of our test period. Be cautious, but be patient and keep your journey, and you’ll soon be just as amazed as we were.
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream
Our dark shadows began to fade to soft toned, even skin. The additional hydration improved the skin’s texture, which crepey and helped our wrinkles shrink and firm over time. We were especially impressed by the cream for eyes that you could purchase in a pharmacy because it was possible to apply the Neutrogena gel-based formula to the eye area, and it would blend into the skin, provide moisture to the skin. Some eye creams which hydrate the skin feel a bit sticky, but the one we used has a perfect drying time and matte skin and is the perfect base layer to concealers.
We think that the slight temperature we experienced when first applied the cream on our skin in the course of testing was due to the retinol. However it faded when our skin adapted to the brand new formulation.
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ Anti-Wrinkle
La Mer The Eye Concentrate
It was an exquisite alternative to the other recipes were tested. Because our eyelids are textured and feel like the Sahara They are soft. The soft solution quenched the desire of our skin, and did not weigh down or interfere with our makeup. The cream for the eyes was applied to the skin with the tip of a metal. It was cooling in the form of swelling and circulation. In the space of two weeks of treatment, our eyelids appeared less firm and more supple. The improvements continued to increase over time. It was a relaxing experience and luxuriant.
We were impressed with how soft and hydrated the under-eyes appeared and felt. Even although we sometimes experienced tiny irritation during the test time, that didn’t deter us from using the product every all day.
La Mer The Eye Concentrate
Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream
Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream
It’s a great alternative for those who don’t enjoy the feel of thick eye cream which can cause the formation of crumbs under the eyes. Its consistency was like the anti-aging cream but it was smooth and fast which gave our eyes an energised, refreshed appearance. Additionally, the moisturizing effect allowed our concealer to be smooth and didn’t make it pill instantly. its plumping ability instantly neutralized dark shadows of grey in the corners. The packaging was one of the main reasons that we didn’t like the eye cream at a price we were expecting additional eye creams inside the box, considering its weight and size.
RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream
RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream
Retinol may not be suitable for people with sensitive skin. The ingredient list contained known names in the skincare sector that have been proven for their gentle and soothing properties. The product didn’t cause any irritation due to the lactose component, high in protein and Glycerin, tempered any potentially irritating properties of Retinol. The skin was soft, more elastic, and more energized after each application. To ensure safety we applied the eye cream after dinner. After just a week of regular use our eyes seemed less and less puffy. In week 2 the dark circles had as well reduced.
We were awestruck by how this RoC blend felt and performed in a way, we’re convinced it’s a win-win for people with sensitive skin. It was first used for morning use since it’s very hydrating however, we’d have liked the slight shimmer for the appearance of a glowing result.
Summer Fridays Light Aura Eye Cream
Tumblr media
The cream’s light but rich fast-absorbing texture the cream’s thick texture was enjoyable to use. It made our skin feel incredibly well-hydrated, without any pilling when we applied makeup or when paired with other products for skincare in our routine. It was a small amount that was enough for an entire application and a tiny amount went far. Even after the product had begun to take effects, our skin seemed soft and smooth well-hydrated, nourished and radiant. The cream is powered by a potent mixture of peptides, vitamin C and the caffeine shot, it instantly boosted the brightness of our deep-set eye circles and sloughed away the wrinkles. Its light coral hue that served as a gentle color corrector was another feature we loved.
The formula gets its name, “Light Aura,” because of the tiny particles which boost its shine. We loved the extra brightening, however those who prefer duller skin may want to go with another cream.mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Fine Line Eye Cream that contains Retinol
The texture and the components of the Glow Recipe’s formula created the perfect Korean cosmetics we’ve tried to review for our eye cream. One tiny drop goes in a huge way since it is absorbed in less than a minute following application, and it is able to warm up quickly on fingertips. It was a pleasure to apply it in the evening as an makeup mask for the night, however it was never weighty or obvious upon the skin (and did amazingly with the makeup!). Even though we have very sensitive skin, we didn’t experience any discomfort, irritation or any other adverse consequences from this product, that was an amazing unexpected finding considering it contained the ingredient retinol which is known as a skin irritation.
Although we only used the product twice per day and were amazed by how much remaining product after the five weeks of trial. But, we want an applicator that could help us make use of every drop.
Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Fine Line Eye Cream that contains Retinol
Ole Henriksen Banana Bright+ Eye Creme
Ole Henriksen Banana Bright+ Eye Creme
The recipe makes use of banana powder’s luminizing properties to prepare and make tired eyes ready for the morning. It was clear that this eye cream had serious potential when we opened the container and saw the bright yellow-orange hue that was filled with yellow-colored light reflectors to correct shadows’ color. Prior to applying concealer, dark circles appeared less obvious after we massaged the creamy vegan cream onto the skin. Antioxidants in the product’s special triple vitamin C formula will help to reduce uneven skin tone and improve skin’s luminosity. With all that delicious and creamy sweetness our skin wasn’t dry, and the concealer was not slipping around. It was a pleasure to feel how soft the texture was to our skin.
We love the formulations from this company, and we’ll be using the product for a long time However, over the test period, we weren’t able to see any noticeable changes to the dark circle under our eyes. However, if you’re simply seeking a healthy makeup prep step, and your under-eye shadows aren’t bad at all and you’re looking for a good alternative.
U Beauty The Return Eye Concentrate
U Beauty The Return Eye Concentrate
While U Beauty’s U Beauty formula is thinner than many other eye creams but it does have moisturizing characteristics similar to balms with rich ingredients. It absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling soft as well as plump and firm instantly. The sensitive skin of ours responded nicely to the product, and over the 5-week trial, we felt none of the irritations.
While squeeze tubes and pump bottles are better for for storage of eye creams, the jar is an ideal container for the medication. For a complete application it was necessary to fill several times. In light of the price it would be better to use the use of a container to show that we’ve used every bit of the product. We also we got price for the money.
Be aware that the cream may require some time to take in (especially in the case of skin that is wet! ) It may not be the ideal alternative if you must get up early to work in the morning. It’s more nourishing than the other options on the list. Furthermore, the cream contains a pink hue that acts as a color-corrector, helping to even out the blue hues that are found on dark circles.

the bowl of ramen that inspired me to change my blog
A good meal with friends goes a long way. A good meal with friends in a city with an amazing food culture — well it goes even farther.
Tumblr media
I hated running this blog last spring. It was never consistent, the recipes I picked were boring (but easy to write), the photography sucked, and it was overall a stressful experience knowing I was being graded for a diet I needed to take on for my health. That is not to say anything about my professor or the course I took (it was my favorite class at Tufts!) — I signed up for this project, and ultimately failed to give it the attention I knew it deserved.
So I am throwing that out. Changing the name to Over Easy to cut out PCOS from the equation.
I am hoping to continue sharing food – but not recipes that I created (or aggressively mimicked). It’ll be a similar style of recording where I write letters to / in regards to the meal of focus. This is a more manageable format for myself; however, I am always open to advice! If you have an interest in checking out the beginner steps of this blog, stay tuned! I am hoping to post-weekly (unless I quit my current job!)
I’m very excited to see how my creativity flourishes with this blog! Especially at a time when I am craving career creativity ❤

Vine: exists. Is very popular.
Vine: stops existing.
TikTok: exists, gets popular despite lots of people lamenting vine.
TikTok: video length expands, people start hemming and hawing and stories multiply with unnecessary details, video length possibility goes all the way up to 5 minutes (?)
TikTok: shorter videos are still most popular
TikTok: ruining our attention spans! If you can't sit through a 5 minute video version of a recipe web page that provides a whole life story before listing ingredients, you are Bad(tm) and social media is ruining you!
Every other social media: primarily text based with pictures and occasional videos that you can scroll through in seconds and know if you want to stay and read it or skip it, you can go through hundreds of posts in a minute if you wanted to
Also there are a LOT of ADHD (among other disorders) people using social media as a quick distraction I'm the middle of other activities and the longer video format of tiktok means it takes more of a temporal commitment. If you don't catch my interest in the first 6 seconds, I'm skipping because this is my time and I could have spent that time scrolling past 3 equally obnoxious posts on Tumblr. I'm autistic and you verbally tell your story slower than I read and I hated read-alongs in school. Vine (at least the ones I've seen through friends or compilations) visually tell stories quickly and get to the fucking point.
This is why I think I get stuck watching tiktok for hours on end, since I have to spend 3 hours to consume the same amount of content I get from Tumblr (my only comparison as it's the only other one I regularly use) in 10 minutes. I love coming across TikTok on Tumblr, because then I have a little context on if I even want to watch the video before I commit.
I don't hate tiktok, I just get frustrated and can't put it into words. Also, people who complain that people who don't want to/can't sit through 1 minute videos (or more 🙁) annoy me too because 12 videos (half of which turned out to be the first in a part-series and therefore very unfulfilling) takes up an entire 20 minute episode (assuming mixed lengths, as most on my feed are longer than 1 min) and one of those options is more fulfilling with my day while the other is uncomfortably addicting.
Sorry, I don't know how to make a short post, this isn't long because it is full of rage I promise.

ORAL HEALTH: USE PEPPERMINT (MINT) FOR KEEPING YOUR TEETH AND GUMS STRONG
Your mouth is actually one of the most absorbent places in your entire body. This is why some medications are administered sublingually, or under your tongue.
When you brush your teeth or use a mouthwash, a certain amount of what is in the toothpaste or mouthwash goes right into your bloodstream through your gums and salivary glands. So, here's manufacturer of menthol crystals in India brings you with everything you need to know about how peppermint makes for an amazing aid for your oral health.
Many of the more popular commercial brands of toothpaste contain chemicals and ingredients that you really don't want in your system, such as triclosan, which has been linked to antibiotic resistance development as well as endocrine disruption.
This is why you might want to be a bit more choosey about what dental products you use and seriously consider some natural oral health options instead.
Fluoride, although heavily promoted as the way to prevent cavities, is a toxic chemical that accumulates in your tissues and has been clearly linked with neurological and endocrine dysfunction, including thyroid dysfunction.
And there are other ways to strengthen your teeth than fluoride, such as adding a source of minerals and trace minerals into your homemade toothpaste (such as bentonite clay or liquid mineral complex — see recipe below).
Another such chemical is sodium laureth sulfate (SLS), or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES). SLS is registered as an insecticide and may have toxic effects. Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners are often added to commercial toothpastes.
Propylene glycol, the industrial grade form, is used in antifreeze, paints, enamels, and airplane de-icers. The pharmaceutical-grade form is used in a lot of personal care products, including toothpaste.
Research on the safety of propylene glycol in personal care products is lacking, although it is a known skin, eye and lung irritant and may cause organ toxicity.
DEA is found in many foaming products such as toothpaste and is another known hormone. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) ranks DEA as a number 10 in its cosmetics database (the most toxic score) due to high concerns of organ toxicity, contamination concerns and irritation, along with moderate cancer risk.
The California Environmental Protection Agency lists DEA as a possible human carcinogen.
But here's the good news! There are very easy ways you can use natural ingredients for products to maintain good dental health that are non-toxic.
Peppermint for oral health | Mint for teeth and gums
 ● Its natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties help curb the growth of bacteria in the mouth, further preventing infections.
 ● It is an amazing treatment for post tooth-extraction. It helps prevent the swelling in connective tissues and reduces bleeding too.
 ● The presence of potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and phosphorus in mint leaves is essential for maintenance and formation of bone-density in tooth and jaw.
 ● The vitamins and minerals work together to fortify enamel and ensure strengthening teeth and gums.
 ● It acts as an alkaline food that contradicts the effects of the acidic environment that is responsible for gum diseases and tooth decay.
 ● Chewing on mint leaves can help keep your mouth moist and fresh. It stimulates the production of saliva and the enzymes that are important for digestion.
 Natural toothpaste recipe:
6 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons baking soda
1 tablespoon xylitol or 1/4     teaspoon stevia
30 drops peppermint or clove     essential oil (or combination of both)
2 teaspoons of liquid mineral or bentonite     clay
To make this, warm up the coconut oil until it is liquid, mix all the ingredients and then put it in a short but wide glass jar.
You can then easily use your toothbrush to scoop some out for brushing. Don't wet your toothbrush before or after scooping, just put it in your mouth and brush.
If you don't like the oil, you can try this:
1 tsp. baking soda
1 drop peppermint essential oil
A few drops of water
For healthy gums:
Use an irrigator or waterpik each day and put baking soda in the water. If your gums are not in a healthy condition or if you have beginning stages of periodontal disease, you might want to use an irrigator.
Just add two teaspoons of plain baking soda to a full reservoir of water (this gives you a concentration to kill bacteria).
If using a waterpik, start with tip behind the last tooth and slide forward along the gum line stopping between teeth for three to five seconds in each slot.
Direct the tip directly between teeth, not down into the gums. Use the tip from both the cheek side and tongue side.
Oil pulling:
This just entails swishing oil around in your mouth, ideally for about 20 minutes. If not 20 minutes, less is still beneficial. The best time to do this is first thing in the morning.
Immediately afterward, rinse your mouth out with warm water. You can rinse with salt water for added antimicrobial properties. Coconut oil is the best tasting oil option.
Recipe: Take a cup of coconut oil, warm it up until it is liquid, then add 10 drops of clove oil, 10 drops of tea tree oil and 20 drops of peppermint oil.
Add a little stevia and put it in a glass jar. Each morning take a teaspoon of it. It quickly warms up and becomes liquid in my mouth. Swish it around for 15 to 20 minutes while you are showering or futzing around or reading the news.
Mouthwash or water pick recipe:
10 oz. fractionated coconut oil
1/4 cup of tea tree oil
4 oz. bayberry tincture (optional)
1/4 tsp. of cayenne pepper
2 1/2 dropperfuls of peppermint oil
2 1/2 dropperfuls of clove oil
·         Stir all ingredients together and use as a mouthwash during the day. Be sure to shake well before each use.
·         Or you can use it with a waterpik by putting in two to four dropperfuls into your filled water reservoir — but rinse out your waterpik well after use.
Natural oral health is easy
·         These are all natural oral health routines and remedies that are super easy to do. A set of these concoctions can be made in less than half an hour and easily last for a couple of months. If you don't have these essential oils, they are all readily available on Amazon and although this may cost a little to buy them, they will likely last you for years, so this also ends up being pretty inexpensive in the long run.
