ALMOST FORGOT 2 DO THIS LITERALLY RUNNING AND SHAKING AND SWEATING!!! i am putting this under a read more so that i don’t clog the dash but you can catch me in 4k for the second time tonight below the cut:

yes i just rambled abt some of these people. no i do not care. starting with people i have probably interacted with enough to be weird about:

@bylertruther - HI DENISE IT’S ME AGAIN. denise bylertruther my one true love…my first mutual fr fr….ii have screenshots of every nice thing you’ve ever said to me (real) (not clickbait). i hope tht i am in top fans on your blog bc if i am not that is a crime but i’ll do better denise i swear i will. grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you so gently I AM OBSESSED W YOU U HAVE NO IDEA. every take is so true and real and i am constantly in awe like damn ok maybe i should be watching this show like denise bylertruther is. The strongest byler soldier imo and simultaneously every single person on the frontline for will byers. i know they said no new charas in s5 but i think they should really and truly reconsider that stance just so that they can write you into the show bc 1. you deserve it n 2. i want to see mike wheeler bark at u for daring 2 talk 2 will. ty for being correct always and so funny. i am biting you every day and reiterating that every fic i write is actually for you, the Original wiseatom stan,

@andiwriteordie - i say this with all the love and affection and positive connotation in the world, but andi, you are THE most insane person i have ever met, and i am obsessed with you. you are such a pleasure to talk to and bounce ideas off of and just be absolutely batshit insane with, and you are?? crazy talented?? literally SO creative, and your willpower is so admirable 2 me. the amount of fics you churn out is impressive on its own, but the fact that every single one of them is so beautifully written and makes me cry?? even when it’s fluff??? you are also, of course, one of the first fic authors i read for byler - i remember reading the let’s hear it for the boys series on lunch breaks at work over the summer and just like. being obsessed with the way you wrote them and how real it felt, like i was reading from the show. i have done jumping jacks reading your fics. it’s embarrassing. i will continue to do jumping jacks reading your fics. it will continue to be embarrassing. anyway the point is i cherish you and your fics and our friendship so much! punting you into the sun bc i cannot bear to look at you anymore!

@astrobei - suniiii suni suni SUNNNNIIIII. my orange creamsicle my taco bell cheesy roll up my bread puddinggggg. i don’t think i hav ever connected w a person as quickly as we have connected. like wtf we are just. the same person in different fonts n it’s cruel tht we live 3000 miles away bc i just want to wrap you up in my bindle n carry you every where i go. my real n true little sister. thank you for having an aneurysm every time i send u a snippet and for telling me tht i am funny because i need the attention. with that said i would also like to say that i have an aneurysm any time i read ANYTHING you write and you are also SO funny. ty for pioneering cringefail losercore byler and just like. breathing so much life n love into your fics. every single one is just a little love letter to stranger things n i am so thankful for the ones i’ve read and can’t wait to catch up and then immediately go on a 35 mile drive abt it.

@bookinit02 - i would like to state, on the record, that before i knew haven bookinit, i read baby we’re perfect and had such a breakdown over it that i literally blacked it out in my mind. like, i was reading it in line at the starbucks at work, and i was crying in the starbucks at work, in front of guests, n then i went back to my office w my little coffee and cried some more and ERASED IT FROM MY MIND. imagine my surprise when i put two and two together that sweet ball of sunshine haven is the author of the fic tht FUCKED ME UP SO BAD. i reread it the other day n sobbed like a little baby. but haven genuinely you are so talented and your fics feel so Easy, like they just are so in character and feel so Right. i can’t wait until you are a published author one day so that i can build a house out of copies of your book. you deserve the WORLD and i will not stop until it is urs.

@byeler - irene i know we have interacted a handful of times so you can block me after this if you want <3 but i just wanted to say that your fics were The first i Ever read for byler and i was just. completely shook. i have been reading fanfiction for over a decade and have read fic for ~30 fandoms so i have Been around the block before and there’s this feeling when you find an author that is just. Checking Every Box and you are It, irene. i remember i had to pace myself w the fics you had bc i didn’t want to run out bc it would devastate me. i already said this to you but i can’t wait to read heavy hopes when i am not dying/afraid of plagiarizing before i finish cmbcyb. also every time we have interacted has been an absolute delight, even when it has been bitching abt twitter lol. i think you are so great and i am Going to absorb your ao3 account into my skin. no there is nothing you can do about it. deal!

15 questions for friends

@hobbitwrangler tagged me (ty!!), and so I'm letting myself be known. questions + replies under the read more

tagging @mirkwood @gondolindon @realmofautumn and @adanethorn 🫀

Are you named after someone? Not on purpose. I picked my names because they resonated with me, and then I realised they were both thinly veiled Percy Shelley references.

"Jules" as a name has a life of its own, though. Which amazing, showstopping, may it be an omen of my own.

When was the last time you cried? Yesterday, out of sheer anger at people's audacity.

Do you have kids? If my cats count, then sure.

What sports do you play/have played? Used to play volleyball and do equestrians. Did bouldering for a while because, are they y'know, and am of the intention of picking it up again.

Do you use sarcasm? Yes but 60% of the time I end up explaining it's sarcasm before anyone asks me, so I don't know if it counts.

What the first thing you notice about people? What jumps up to me from individual to individual changes. I am not good at registering first impressions v consciously. So I couldn't say if I tried

What's your eye colour? Brown-black. Darkest brown eyes you'll ever find. Came with my "I'm right, tho" permit.

Scary movies or happy endings? SENSE-MAKING ENDINGS. My favourite endings are the hopeful ones, regardless of genre, but if movies flub the ending I will be so mad, I will be so angry.

Example: As Above So Below butchered its themes with that fucking ending it had, and I do not care how hopeful it is, I hate it. It makes no sense from a storytelling perspective, and I will be forever bitter because its a horror movie about alchemy that borrows heavily from hauntings and Dante's inferno, they took all of my favourite themes and KILLED THEM WITH THAT ENDING

Any talents? Talking a lot, saying hauntingly poetic things, personal pep talking team on the go.

Where were you born? Not doxxing myself on tumblr, so iykyk, but I'm a child from from the global south

What are your hobbies? Writing, reading, dancing, learning things, collecting books, gaming, dissecting language structures and then not learning the languages, worldbuilding. oh man, I love worldbuilding. The disease is terminal and the ND levels catastrophic

Do you have any pet? Two babycats, both boys. A tabby called Findecáno and an orange creamsicle called Finrod Felagund

How tall are you? 158 cm/159 cm roughly. Have been told I give vibes of being taller

Favourite subject in school? Highschool ages? History and english. I also liked trig despite being shit with numbers. Uni? the International Law ones.

Dream job? Eccentric travelling girlboy boygirl they/them you never forget. Alucard cosplayer. And world-building consultant and book editor. Oh, and. My actual job I am lucky enough to work in my dream job, even if its time to upgrade the dreams and find what can I see on the horizon

the reputation vintage fragances have for being "dusty" and smelling like "grandma" is so unearned and really just speaks to how fragrance trends mark a generation

guerlain shalimar (circa. 1960s) is a very yummy perfume, smelling it from the bottle and the top notes smell like a creamsicle, slightly cool with a creamy orange in the forefront, the base still keeps that orange but is slightly muskier, it has that slight "old lady" scent but i think thats the civet as that was very popular back then and its what gives that muskiness compared to now most musk is just...well musk or white musk notes lol

honestly such a hot girl perfume i see why everyone and their mother wore it, the 1960s black opium if you will

Stone Brewing Company adds Stone Delicious Hazy IPA to their already popular lineup.

Press Release

ESCONDIDO, CA (January 31, 2024) – Stone Brewing, among the world’s most renowned IPA breweries, introduces a new addition to its popular lineup of Delicious IPAs. Stone Delicious Hazy IPA is now available on draft and in cans year-round and nationwide. Thanks to this fourth Stone Delicious variation, the brewery also announces the anticipated release of a Stone Delicious IPA Variety 12-Pack in addition to its innovative variety six-pack. 

The newly expanded Stone Delicious lineup includes: 

Stone Delicious Hazy IPA (7.2% ABV) Brewed with Sabro, El Dorado and Azacca hops, giving the beer intense creamsicle, peach and pineapple flavors with a beautiful slightly opaque appearance.

Stone Delicious IPA (7.7% ABV) The original Stone Delicious IPA packs a refreshing and hoppy lemon candy flavor making it especially complementary to an array of foods and a superior standalone IPA. 

Stone Delicious Double IPA (9.4% ABV!) A beer that stands out with a serious depth of flavor and explosive aroma of lemon and tropical fruit from Centennial and Amarillo hops. With less bitterness than a typical double IPA, this one is extra fruity, extra gratifying and extra Delicious. 

Stone Delicious Citrus IPA (7.7% ABV) Brewed with Talus hops that impart vibrant citrus notes complemented by the addition of sweet orange peel. The result is especially bright and satisfyingly juicy.   

Stone Delicious Hazy IPA – like all the beers in the Delicious series – also happens to be gluten reduced. In fact, each beer clocks in below the FDA requirement for “gluten free” labeling (less than 20 parts per million). A gluten-reduced Hazy IPA is hard to come by. Not only does this one exist, but it also packs an unparalleled flavor rendering that gluten conversation nearly irrelevant. The beer is juicy, creamy and full-bodied with notes of peach candy, orange, vanilla and sweet pineapple.

“The Brewing Team takes the challenge of calling a beer ‘Delicious,’ very seriously and all four of the beers need to live up to that name,” explained Jeremy Moynier, Senior Manager of Brewing & Innovation. “Stone Delicious Hazy IPA definitely lives up to the Delicious standard and is a great addition to the Delicious family of beers.”

Fans of Delicious things can find Stone Delicious Hazy IPA nationwide in stand-alone six-pack as well as in Stone Delicious Variety Six-Packs and Stone Delicious Variety 12-Packs. Find them nearby at Find.StoneBrewing.com or order online in select states at Shop.StoneBrewing.com.

hello soup. its dnd soup.

so we go to bed in a cuddle pile in a tent while eivas and daniel sleep in the wagon and we wake up to uh. frogs. large 5 foot frogs. so then we fucking murder those frogs. damona and cc take one down with the power of bisexuality its great. and then creamsicle turns into a flower pot. eivas is like ??? and damonas like idk man dont ask. then theyre back on the road! eivas looks like kinda uncomfortable around codos the whole ride and makes a point of not sitting next to him. and then we get to this little trading town called heart and cc recognizes it as a place shes preformed at before. we get lead to this place and theres a guy and he has a leather jacket and his name is ace and he remembers cc and damona glares at him a lot. then we go meet the mayor and the mayor is a white dragon with a hoard of instruments. among these instruments is an otamatone which damona loses her mind over (its part of a joke that eivas and damona have "get along days" where at some point damona surpassed him in otamatone abilities) and the dragon is like well if you wanna preform i can give you some instruments but youd have to do something for me first and damona is like yes anything for that otamatone and codos goes for a violin. the dragon is like "ok well you have to deliver my egg to my ex husband" and were all like ok

also where cc is seeing purple things damona is seeing them in orange

ooooo sounds like a fun session!!! rip to the 5 foot frogs you will be missed 🙏😔 the music dragon is super cool!!!

Kelis: I'm obsessively private. I'm like the Pink Panther...duh duh duh duh...*laughs*... l feel like right now there's really no separation between business and life, and for me that's extremely important.

I signed my first deal when I was 17 and when I got released I was 27.

I launched my sauce line Bounty & Full and had my own food truck after I graduated culinary school..

It was in Australia where I fell in love with wine, years ago - going to wineries and tasting stuff - and I slowly started looking into getting my sommelier certification.

Interviewer: you curated the menu for Floyd Mayweather's 40th birthday party. And the drink -

Kelis: Morir Sonando.. they give it to children to fatten them up.[ Im Puerto Rican] It's like a Creamsicle, it's delicious.

Interviewer: [about Nas] the world has like not accepted that you guys are not together anymore

Kelis: I think every generation, you know, has their couples. For me it was like Treach and Pepa. And you feel like you're part of their story. I love romance, but what people need to understand is these are real people, and real hearts that get broken. I understood it [people wanting us to get back together] right after it happened. But 9 years later, it boggles my mind that people are still saying it.

We got married before our actual wedding ceremony. My mom didn't approve of the marriage. There was a certain rawness about that era that doesn't exist now. Everything was different, how people responded to us was different [than now].

When he [Nas] and I got married I was already on my third album. I already had made a name for myself before we ever met. We fell in love, and quickly. And we're both alike in that we're good at shutting out the world. I think when other people's opinions got involved, the relationship started to get progressively worse, although the relationship was never good in the first place.

I was 22 when I met him. We were both drinking too much, smoking too much, spending too much. And then when the money gets low, it's a very low low. There's no balance, no normalcy.

I was madly in love, so I accepted a lot of things I shouldn't have. The infidelity was the straw that broke the camel's back, but that wasn't it. I didn't file for divorce because he cheated. He'd been cheating for two years and I knew that. It was because on top of the other stuff, now you're gonna cheat. I was 7 months pregnant, thinking I cannot bring a person into the world in this. This is a mess. I filed for divorce in April and Knight was born in July.

There was a lot of mental and physical abuse. But I think I would have stayed longer had I not been pregnant.

He would get way too drunk, and hit me. I would try and fight back. I think he would black out [from the drinking]. The next day it would be like nothing happened.

I haven't spoken a word about Nas in 9 years, but he's spoken about me.

One time he was so angry he broke the doors off its hinges.

When the pictures of Chris Brown and Rihanna came out, I felt like I was in double dutch. Should I jump out, should I say anything? Because at that time, I had bruises all over my body. But I wasn't ready to say anything.

I didn't want to feel weak. I thought, I chose him as my partner. I'm gonna stick it out. I stayed for years after that.

So much of me was out of character in that marriage.

Nas is obsessed with his image. That's why everyone think he's phenomenal and I'm just this raging b****...

Interviewer: So what is he going to think when he sees this interview?

Kelis: I mean, he already hates me. When I finished culinary school, I had just had the baby. And I go home and see a foreclosure sign on the door. I call Nas, like, 'there's a foreclosure sign on our door, what's going on?!" And he responded, "Go f*** yourself."

I got with him when I was 22. I had Knight at 29. It's like, you wait until I have a baby to do this? I was terrified. So I had to put out Flesh Tone [my album].

And it's like, now he wants to be in my son's life, just dip in and out when he hasn't been there for so long. And I didn't want people to know I was angry because as soon as you're an angry black woman, then you're an 'angry black woman' and then that's forever...

But you know what? I am black. And I am furious. And I am not sorry.

I have never been perfect, but I am a damn good mom. And I have sacrificed so much to be a good mom.

I've waited for him to show up, so much so that I can't even tell my son that he's coming until he's at the curb...because of how many times he hasn't shown up.

You can't not show up for months. He only started paying child support consistently two years ago. My child will be 9 this July. So I didn't get a single cent up until 2012.

My mother had a stroke one Saturday, and I asked Nas if he could bring my son and Nas said no. I told him, 'my mom just had a stroke, can you bring Knight?' and he just says, 'no.' *breaks down crying*

My mom is a tank yo, my mom is just this little firecracker. She always has red lips on and everything. She's New York to the death.. It just made me realize how short life is. And to see her like that...I was mortified. You know, Knight and her have such a good relationship. I didn't grow up with my grandparents, so it was super important to me that my kids have that. Nas's mother passed away, so all we have is my parents.

I walked out to save myself, and to save my baby. Knight didn't deserve any of this.

My current husband is a dad to Knight. Not because he wants to replace his father, but because he's the only one there. Knight met my husband when he was four. He started calling his stepdad 'Poppa.' I never asked or told him to do that. My son was looking for a dad.

Like I said, Knight is going to be 9. Nas has only ever been to two birthdays. I'm the one who does everything for him.

I even invited him to Thanksgiving to be cordial, and let Knight go with his dad while my husband and I were on our honeymoon. The next day, I see online that he filed for custody because he supposedly 'can't see his kids.' I thought I was in the twilight zone.

I don't think it should be 50/50 just because sperm was involved. If you want to be involved, prove it. The California courts, in their effort to be fair, often negate facts. I am devastated for women that can't afford to pay lawyers in a situation like this. Thank God I can.

If you want Nas go get him. Please. And you'll be running for the hills just like Nicki [Nicki Minaj]. I don't want that man back, he's no prize.

Popsicle x Reebok collection

According to HYPEBEAST

It’s pretty clear that the folks on the Reebok marketing and design teams have a soft spot for 90s/early 2000’s given as many of the brand’s collaborative collections evoke emotions of nostalgia. In recent years we’ve seen the vector brand link up with the Power Rangers, Candy Land and the Ghostbusters for special footwear projects, and now it’s going to add Popsicles to its ever-growing catalog.

The beat-the-heat dessert-inspired collection includes the Classic Leather and Workout Plus silhouettes. Several colorways of the former are designed to call out traditional flavors such as Grape, Cherry, Creamsicle and Bomb Pops. A playful element to note here is that latter of the iterations is supplied with tri-colored outsoles to perfectly channel its aesthetic. The Workout Plus offering comes pre-made with a removable patch over the Reebok branding that sits on the quarter panels to give wearers a cheek “unwrapping” effect.

These are mean! Might have to give out a few pairs

The full Popsicle x Reebok collection is scheduled to launch on August 4 in full family sizes. Prices will range from $45-$90 USD.

orange creamsicle — what's a topic your muse could talk about for hours? is there a reason this particular topic means so much to them?

"In the epics and folk stories, the thing Russians fear most is anything not concrete, that changes and people do not understand. People have defined rules about things like gender, so anything evil or not-human then is very.... flexible? The Baba Yaga is not a woman, it is a Witch that can pretend to be an old woman, or sound exactly like the bogatyr's father. Zmei Gorynich or Tugarin Zmeyevich are humanish enough to seduce women, but might also have wings and be able to eat a swan in one bite. In one story, a dragon is able to give up its name and become a she-dragon to lure Ivan Tsarevich into a trap-"

(And so on and so forth. Eventually he'll get to the part where he says that he feels like he's trans in the same way Zmei Zmeyevich (Dragon, son of Dragon) can be a compelling romantic leading man, and it's still a surprise that he was in fact a dragon the whole time)

THE PERFECT LITTLE PACK TO GET THIS SUMMER UNDERWAY -- FANS OF CREAM ALE, REJOICE!

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the Cali Combo Pack by Mother Earth Brew Co., the three flavor Cream Ale variety pack includes the now legendary Cali Creamin' Vanilla Cream Ale, Cali Creamsicle, and the new Peaches & Cream! All are 5.0. ABV.

VANILLA CREAM ALE: "Our flagship offering is golden to pale in color, with low bitterness, medium body, and a white head. Our Cream Ale has redefined the category and made a classic style cool again. We use a bit of Madagascar Vanilla Bean to give it that “Cream Soda” kick. This beer finishes dry despite a subtle perceived sweetness from the Vanilla. Great any time of year." 5.0 ABV.

PEACHES & CREAM (VANILLA CREAM ALE): "Using our flagship cream ale as a base, we put an even more nostalgic twist on our style-defining brew. Cali Creamin’ Peaches & Cream highlights hints of vanilla and a distinct yellow peach flavor that finishes slightly sweeter than its original Cali Creamin’ counterpart. It’s like Grandma’s peach cobbler, but cold, carbonated, and without all the guilt." 5.0 ABV. Contains lactose. Exclusively available in the Cali Combo Pack.

CALI CREAMIN' CREAMSICLE: "Using our flagship ale as a base, we put an even more nostalgic twist on our style-defining brew; simulating your favorite childhood classic. The only difference? You don’t have to chase down the ice cream man. Cali Creamsicle features hints of vanilla and a distinct citrus cream flavor that finishes slightly sweeter than its Cream Ale counterpart. Just as refreshing, just as iconic." Contains lactose. 5.0 ABV.

Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino Review

There’s no shortage of Instagram-worthy food and drink creations, and Starbucks’ Unicorn Frappuccino is no exception. This “flavor and color-changing” frap is made with pink powder blended into a mango-creme Frappuccino and layered with a sour powder topping. When you stir it, the color transforms from purple to pink and the flavor changes from sweet to tart. While this colorful frap made its way around the internet, we all wondered- how does it taste? Let’s find out in this Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino review. 

History and Inspiration

The Unicorn Frappuccino was a fun drink introduced by Starbucks in April 2017. A year before this, the internet went crazy for unicorn-everything, including Unicorn Hot Chocolate, Unicorn Milkshakes, unicorn hair, unicorn clothes, unicorn paint, etc. Starbucks created their Unicorn Frap on their Secret Menu, but unfortunately for my pre-teen and all of her colorful friends, these fraps were only offered for about a week. Even though this drink was labeled as a frappuccino, there was no coffee added- but with all the sugar, who needs caffeine? 

Types of Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino

The Unicorn Frappuccino is no longer on Starbucks ’ menu, but there are a few similar options you can ask for. These drinks aren’t “officially” on the menu, but if you ask your barista, they might be able to create them for you. I’ve brought drink recipes I found online to my local Starbucks, and they’re always happy to give it a try. Similar colorful Starbucks drinks include the following:   The Pink Unicorn Unicorn Passion Unicorn Iced Mocha Vanilla Unicorn Bean Frappucino Raspberry Unicorn Frappucino

Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino Review

This colorful frap is made with ice, milk, pink powder, sour blue powder, crème Frappuccino syrup, mango syrup, and blue drizzle, topped with a swirl of whipped cream and sprinkles.

Photo by “Like the Grand Canyon” under License CC 2.0. 1.      Taste and Texture The Unicorn Frappuccino is instantly eye-catching with its bright purple and blue swirls, topped with whipped cream and purple and blue sprinkles. It reminded me of my Lisa Frank stationery as a kid, and that made my inner-80’s kid squeal with excitement. I think I expected my first sip to taste like a creamy frappuccino, but I was surprised that it tasted more like a Sweet Tart or sour Skittles mixed with a Creamsicle. Once I stirred the drink, the colors mixed into a light pinkish color. I believe the blue swirls were responsible for the tart flavors, but I toned it down a bit by mixing the whipped cream in it. This is a powerfully-sweet drink- all 39 grams of sugar were definitely there. I had a “tall” 12-oz, and I couldn’t finish it. I’d give it 5 stars for looks, but 2 stars for taste.  2. Are they healthy? The Unicorn Frappuccino is loaded with calories. A ”tall” 12-ounce Unicorn Frappuccino has 280 calories, 11 grams of fat, and 39 grams of sugar, the same amount in a 12-oz can of Coca-Cola. However, Unicorn Frap fans are likely more interested in participating in a fun food trend with their friends than being concerned about how healthy it is. One way to cut the fat is by ordering your frap with almond milk instead of whole milk, and skipping the whipped cream on top- but where’s the fun in that?

3. Are they Worth it? If it was all about participating in a fun food trend, I’d say it’s worth it. But because this drink was only offered for one week, it didn’t gain a lot of traction. Starbucks does offer other colorful drinks like the marbelized Serious Strawberry Frappuccino or the Harley Quinn Frappuccino. Final Verdict The Unicorn Frappuccino was created as part of a viral trend, and in that way, this drink succeeded. But it’s not a drink that customers can add to their weekly drink routines due to its extremely limited availability. If you love Creamsicles or Sweet Tarts, this could be for you, but I prefer to stick to frappuccinos that taste more like coffee.

Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino Pricing  

Unicorn Frappuccinos were officially on Starbucks’ menus from April 19 to April 23, 2017, and they cost between $4.25 and $4.95. Most of Starbucks’ other frappuccinos are priced between $3.75 and $4.95, so the price was consistent with similar drinks.    What do you think about our Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino review?    Were you one of the lucky ones to try out this color-changing unicorn frap? If not, have you tried any of Starbucks’ similar colorful drinks? Are any of them as Instagram-worthy as the Unicorn Frappuccino?
