If we go with the theory that what is being portrayed in HoTD is meant to be the "real" events that are written about in Fire & Blood it opens up a lot of really interesting questions about the Testimony of Mushroom, which is one of the sources used to write Fire & Blood.

I was kind of surprised and a little pleased when Mushroom didn't make it into the adaption, largely because he really just seems like a bawdier reskin of Tyrion. Plus, I don't think he would have played well to audiences as he was in the text. But since he isn't present... who then wrote the Testimony of Mushroom? Was he a fake author who decided to write a salacious account of what happened? Was this an author on the side of the Greens who wanted to create further proof of how awful the Blacks were? Was this someone from the Shepherd's camp who hated both sides? Was this even a contemporaneous account or did someone make it up a few years/decades down the line?

Is one of the biggest sources used to write Fire & Blood in universe just a fake????

#hotd #asoiaf #mushroom #the testimony of mushroom #but seriously #was it real??? #is mushroom a known political character??? #is there a smut peddler in king's landing doing something similar about cersei? #shut up rabbit

PSA: The Mushroom Forest

The Mushroom Forest welcomes all merchants, peddlers, traders, and any other sort of budding young salesfolk to its famed market, but most of those who seek easy monetary profit will leave sorely disappointed. To enter the market one must first obtain a token of favor, usually obtained by performing some sort of long, drawn-out task for a Forest inhabitant, which must then be presented and accepted by the Forest. After entering the market, feel free to browse at will, but take care at what you trade for! A side effect of this token just happens to be that any goods taken from the market will, within the next 24 hours, turn into a mushroom of comparable size (hence the name). Great for mycologists and chefs, not so great for anyone else - unless you’re really keen on getting some shiitake or portobello, as those mushrooms seem to be the transformations of choice.

There are those, of course, who claim to have obtained tokens that do NOT transform goods into mushrooms. Don’t be deluded by such scams. For those well-versed in the customs of the Forest, it is an established rule to never invest in Non-Fungible Tokens.

Snippet - Forward, but Never Forget/XOXO - Equinox in Zaun

The Undercity keeps wild hours in springtime.

Forward but Never Forget/XOXO

Snippet:

Dinnertime in Zaun differs wildly from its Topside counterpart.

Fissurefolk navigate life by a schedule decadently suited to night-living. Most eat when they please, and how they please. They can't afford to live by a clock as moody as Old Hungry. Others set their timetables depending on their profession. Miners wake at dawn to a breakfast of cold gruel and bitter coffee. Factory-hands break for lunch by the whistle, bolting down a greasy fare of meat pies and cheap beer. The chem-barons favor a sweet repast of honey-glazed breads and imported fruits by twilight, followed by a more robust banquet of roast fowl by dark. The street folk have no concept of regular mealtimes at all: they subsist on a diet of grubs, pickles, and the odd stolen crust.

The exception is the Equinox.

Daylight is a rarity belowground. During the winter, the sky is a slate of ash and iron. A gloomy miasma hangs over the cityscape. The sun is a pale phantom. But come the Equinox, the sky morphs into pastel hues of rose and gilt. The smog is thinner; the air tastes sweeter. And the sun, warmer, has a way of kissing the skin.

Fissurefolk are an industrious lot. But even they are not insensate to the spell of springtime.

On the Equinox, the city basks. Work-hours are inverted. From daybreak to midday, the streets are busy with trade. Market stalls spill with exotica; vendors hawk their wares; peddlers their trinkets. The chem-labs, the factories, the mines—everything grinds at full tilt. By noon, the march of commerce ebbs. The sun crests, and so does the afternoon languor.

Fissurefolk throw their windows open to the slanting pink sunrays. The streets fill with bodies: shopgirls taking their ease, laborers unwinding after a shift, children at play. Some, like Silco retire for a rare siesta under the striped luminosity of the Laguna Lounge's shuttered windows, savoring brandy from a cut-glass beaker. Others, like Sevika, favor a different sort of savoring: the heady rush of a good smoke after a hard fuck as the dust-motes swirl gold through the slats of a brothel's backroom. Still others, like Jinx, prefer a less traditional mode of unwinding: a dance of daredevilry off the gables of sunbaked rooftops with fistfuls of paint-bombs. By dusk, they each sleep, sprawled, in the lap of the sun.

The rest of Zaun does the same: a honeyed hive, drunk on warm nectar.

Supper is served early, an hour after sundown. It's the city's way of drawing out the day. Or turning back the clock, just for a heartbeat, to the idyllic era before the Cataclysm. A time when the sky was an edgeless blue, and the air held a scent of leaves. A time when the rains were pure and the riverwater sweet.

The spread at supper is traditionally sweet too: sugared rhubarb and poached cavernfruit, roasted nuts and spiced ciders. It's a stimulus to the senses; the perfect pick-me-up for the night-shifts that resume by moonrise. And as the darkness deepens over Zaun, so does the city's appetite.

Dinner is served at midnight. The zenith of the Equinox, when the street-life is brightest. Hot and savory and spiced, it is a rousing tonic to the nocturnal chill. Families gather at tables laden with stewed mushrooms, skewered squab, and steaming loaves of chaff bread. Jars of fermented cavernfruit wine are passed around. Bottoms are raised to the gods. The old gods: the ones Topside pretends have no teeth.

And then, the feast begins.

On the Equinox, everyone revels. Even the monsters.

What's my Vibe

#Ask #Vibe check

[lesamis]

taking up the mantle as a peddler of nigel slater recipes again to tell everyone about this pearl barley and mushroom dish that changed my life, go make it if you like mushrooms but also if you want to feel like you're at an old timey inn resting your weary bones after a long day of adventuring in dreary weather and the innkeeper puts down a bowl of this and gives your shoulder a little squeeze and says sth along the lines of "this'll put some colour back in your cheeks" and you know what it actually does

#IT'S SO GOOD and comes together without a fuss as well #not too much chopping involved just an onion and some mushrooms #you can swap out any grain for the pearl barley too. for the Vibes i think it should be sth native to where you live #(i used spelt) #oh and since he doesn't give quantities for seasoning bc he's nigel slater just go easy w the pepper flakes at first & add on as you go #food

The Kingdom Hearts Iceberg meme - DECONSTRUCTED

So whenever I have way too much time in my hands (or I’m too bored to do stuff I seriously ought to be doing) I google “[insert fandom here] iceberg” and then compile on a list all the entries from all the icebergs I can find on said fandom with the thought that I may make the ultimate iceberg one day.

That never happens.

So anyway, I decided “screw it!” and now I present you the full, NUMBERED list of all the Kingdom Hearts Iceberg meme entries I could find plus some, in no particular order to speak of! I don’t actually know what maybe 30-40% of them are, and there may be duplicates or I may have grossly misunderstood some stuff, but that’s fine! I don’t care! Let’s GET TO IT.

Snippet - Poverty & Pickles - Forward, but Never Forget/XOXO

Undercity cuisine has a rich history.

Of salt and brine.

Forward, but Never Forget/XOXO on AO3

Snippet:

There’s a saying in the Undercity: Poverty and pickles go hand-in-hand.

While Piltover wallows in imported steak and fruits, consuming marbled slabs of gourmet beef and sampling piquant exotica as their birthright, the Fissures’ polluted climes have cultivated a cuisine based on scarce local ingredients. These are delineated into two parts: leftovers from the land, and leftovers from the sea. The former can be found in brightly-lit stalls fringing the narrow Sumpside catacombs and crumbling commercial Entresol blocks alike: sizzling skewers of grilled sump-vole, baskets of cave-dwelling mushrooms, spirals of earthy grubs. The latter dwell in the depths of the fens or scatter the muddy banks of the river channels. Gelatinous blobs of squid, glistening black curls of eel, plump morsels of shellfish.

To the discerning palate, they taste best when preserved beneath layers of salt. They also happen to be one of the few sources of protein.

Hardship breeds creativity as much as necessity. Pickle vendors compete for business with outlandish flavors and exotic spices, each style soaked in the colorful cultures that pervade the Undercity itself. Buhru's immigrants specialize in brined herbal preserves and sweet condiments. Shuriman recipes offer hot sauces and chutneys. Ionians favor fiery concoctions spiked with vinegar and sugar. For Vekauran peddlers, it's all about coriander, cardamom, and chili peppers. Their most popular variety is raw mango soaked in thick syrup that tastes somewhere between sweet and sour.

All provide a necessary source of nutrients to those who live in close quarters.

Without pickles, poverty would only breed disease.

how many crunchy hippie acid mushrooms artists do you know that turned into plastic peddlers, encasing the most useless shit in resin & abandoning all semblance of caring about the environment
