Why We Can't Have Medieval Food

I noted in a previous post that I'd "expand on my thinking on efforts to reproduce period food and how we’re just never going to know if we have it right or not." Well, now I have 2am sleep?-never-heard-of-it insomnia, so let's go.

At the fundamental level, this is the idea that you can't step in the same river twice. You can put your foot down at the same point in space, and it'll go into water, but that's different water, and the bed of the river has inevitably changed, even a little, from the last time you did so.

Our ingredients have changed. This is not just because we can't get the fat from fat-tailed sheep in Ireland, or silphium at all anywhere, although both of those are true. But the aubergine you buy today is markedly different to the aubergine that was available even 40 years ago. You no longer need to salt aubergine slices and draw out the bitter fluids, which was necessary for pretty much all of the thing's existence before (except in those cultures that liked the bitter taste). The bitterness has been bred out of them. And the old bitter aubergine is gone. Possibly there are a few plants of it preserved in some archive garden, or a seed bank, or something, but I can't get to those.

We don't really have a good idea of the plant called worts in medieval English recipes. I mean, we know (or we're fairly sure) it was brassica oleracea. But that one species has cultivars as distinct as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan (list swiped from Wikipedia). And even within "cabbage" or "kale", you have literally dozens of varieties. If you plant the seeds from a brassica, unless you've been moderately careful with pollination, you won't get the same plant as the seeds are from. You can crossbreed brassicas just by planting them near each other and letting them flower. And of course there is no way to determine what varietal any medieval village had, a very high likelihood that it was different to the village next door, and an exceedingly high chance that that varietal no longer exists. Further, it only ever existed for a few tens of years - before it went on cross-breeding into something different. So our access to medieval worts (or indeed, cabbage, kale, etc) is just non-existant.

Some other species within the brassica genus are as varied. Brassica rapa includes oilseed rape, field mustard, turnip, Chinese cabbage, and pak choi.

We have an off-chance, as it happens, of getting almost the same kind of apple as some medieval varieties, because apples can only be reproduced for orchard use by grafting, which is essentially cloning. Identification through paintings, DNA analysis, and archaeobotany sometimes let us pin down exactly which apple was there. But the conditions under which we grow those apples are probably not the same as the medieval orchard. Were they thinned? When were they harvested? How were they stored? And apples are pretty much the best case.

Medieval wheat was practically a different plant. It was far pickier about where it would grow, and frequently produced 2-4 grains per stalk. A really good year had 6-8. In modern conditions, any wheat variety with less than 30 grains per stalk would be considered a flop.

Meats are worse. Selective breeding in the last century has absolutely and completely changed every single species of livestock, and if you follow that back another five centuries, some of them would be almost unrecognisable. Even our heritage breeds are mostly only about 200 years old.

Cheese, well. Cheese is dependent on very specific bacteria, and there are plenty of conditions where the resulting cheese is different depending on whether it was stored at the back or front of the cave. Yogurts, quarks, skyrs, etc, are also live cultures, and almost certainly vary massively. (I have a theory about British cheese here, too, which I'll expand on in a future post)

So, even before you go near the different cooking conditions (wood, burnables like camel and cow dung, smoke, the material and condition of cooking pots), we just can't say with any reliability that the food we're making now is anything like medieval people produced from the same recipe. We can't even say that with much reliability over a century.

Under very controlled conditions, you could make an argument for very specific dishes. If you track down a wild mountain sheep in Afghanistan, and use water from a local spring, and salt from some local salt mine, then you can make a case that you can produce something fairly close to the original ma wa milh, the water-and-salt stew that forms the most basic dish in Arabic cookery. But once you start introducing domestic livestock, vegetables, or even water from newer wells, you're now adrift.

It is possible that some dishes taste exactly the same, by coincidence. But we can't determine that. We can't compare the taste of a dish from five years ago, let alone five hundred, because we're only just getting to a state where we can "record" a taste accurately. Otherwise it's memory and chance.

We've got to be at peace with this. We can put in the best efforts we can, and produce things that are, in spirit, like the medieval dishes we're reading about. But that's as good as it gets.

First chapter of the Ladygardener sequel is done. And I am having FUN. Brace for angel cakes, unpleasant neighbours, and Crowley running a children's gardening competition like a mad drill instructor. First chapter is up on my Patreon, and coming to AO3 soon. I've resolved not to be that person who leaves people hanging anymore.

So it was probably no surprise that she would manage to make even dungarees look slutty.

Crowley had always had an unholy gift of making every outfit look like an invitation to a sexual free-for-all so eyewateringly filthy that it would have made even the muckiest Renaissance popes pull out the fainting couch and come down with the vapours. She’d tried her best in her Nanny days, but never pulled it off, largely because she rarely bothered with underwear, and her nipples would always be playing peek-a-boo with the sheer stripes in her high necked pussy-bow blouses. She’d put on pencil skirts that were supposed to make her look as uninspiringly up-and-down as possible, but instead they would convey the impression that she was wearing them because she needed some external force to keep her legs together, a restrictive touch echoed in her penchant for black leather gloves, and the spikiest of pin heels. She had regularly sent men into all kinds of Soho phone-box imaginings, featuring riding crops, high button boots, and all manner of delicious punishments.

One strap was undone altogether, although at least this time she was wearing a bra. The trouble was, Aziraphale recognised that bra. It was one of the ones she’d bought Crowley for their anniversary, and it wasn’t exactly practical. Not for gardening, anyway. It was burgundy and black, a push-up affair with sheer lace cups that left little to the imagination. As usual, Crowley entered the room crotch first, all hips and swagger. Her thick red curls were half-falling down from a sloppy bun, and there was an aubergine flower behind her ear. Her wellington boots were snakeskin.

“Did you sign up?” she hissed, wriggling her way to Aziraphale’s elbow.

“No, not yet.”

Crowley raised her hand, revealing an unshaven armpit. She smelled faintly of Talisker, which maybe went some way to explaining the whimsy of the flower behind her ear. “Excuse me,” she said, startling Roger Dunmore. “Have you done the baking competition? My wife would like to enter the baking competition.”

"I’m sorry,” said Aziraphale. “I tried to explain to her that we haven’t got to that part yet.”

Roger Dunmore peered over his glasses at Crowley. “We haven’t,” he said. “But we were about to get to the children’s community garden project. And we desperately need someone to supervise the kids. Didn’t you used to be a nanny, Ms. Ash?”

“She did!” said Aziraphale.

“Shut up,” said Crowley, discreetly stepping on her foot.

“No. You’re good with children. You are.”

“I want a divorce,” said Crowley. “I’m not with her.”

NAIL PAINTING

ft. kiryu kuro

warnings: none

You hover in the doorway to the handcrafts club room, peeking cautiously inside to see if you can spot your intended target. Said target is currently hunched over a desk, a bunch of pins in his mouth, furiously examining a worn piece of fabric.

“That posture cannot be good for your back,” You say casually, as you drape yourself over him. Kuro looks up at you, a little confused, but doesn’t stop in his work–unimpeded by your added weight.

“Y/N? What’re ya doing here?”

You wiggle your fingers at him in a look at this! sort of gesture, and he goes slightly cross-eyed trying to keep your hand in view. “Notice anything different?”

He hesitates, and you can see him thinking, before he gives up. “Dunno. You get a manicure, or somethin’?”

Close enough, you think, as you dig around in the tote bag slung over your shoulder. “Here, I’ll give you a little hint.” It takes some time before you find what you’re looking for–curse those tiny bottles!–but you finally manage to unearth them. You display the little nail polish collection with gusto. “Tah-dah!”

Kuro simply gives you a bemused look, before going back to studying his fabric. “‘Kay…”

You roll your eyes, and grab his arm to get his attention. “Kuro! Let me paint your nails!”

“Huh? Why?”

“Because,” You say, a tad exasperated. This is taking more effort than it should. “I want to. I even bought all these different colours to school so you could choose!”

“I guess… It can’t hurt?” Kuro thinks it over, before shrugging and presenting his right hand to you. “Go wild.”

“Yay!” You cheer, arranging the bottles into a pretty lineup. “I promise, you’re going to love it. Just pick any colours you want–I’m pretty handy with these brushes, so don’t worry–and I can even do patterns or, like, alternating colours…”

Kuro looks deep in thought as he scrutinises the colours, before he settles for a fiery red and black. You’re not surprised. Then he pauses, and replaces the black with a forest green and an adorable shade of purple, what you would call aubergine, perhaps? It hits you then, watching him play with the bottles, a dopey look on his face–these are the 紅月 hair colours.

You try to stifle a giggle, but you can’t give up the opportunity to tease him, so as you begin to paint his nails (you’re thinking of a green, red, purple pattern–紅月 symbolism that you can’t forgo. Plus, it would look so cute…!) you give him a smirk. Kuro is instantly wary. “So…”

“So…?”

“So, who knew Kiryu Kuro was so soft for his unitmates? Well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised…” You wish you could tap your chin, to really enhance the performance vibe, but you also have to focus on keeping a steady hand. “You treat Kanzaki like your kid brother and you literally call Hasumi ‘danna’.”

“Shaddup.” He gives your hair a slightly aggressive ruffle, and you duck with a squeak.

“No moving! You’ll mess up the polish!” You gently blow on one hand before moving onto the other.

Kuro starts again. “Ya get permission from dan–er, Hasumi,” He stumbles, merely proving your point. “To be here?”

“Nah,” You say, smoothly continuing on so Kuro can’t berate you. “But it’s okay. He’ll understand.” And if not, you’ll just use Tenshouin as an excuse. Works every time. “This was more important anyways. I miss spending time with you, y’know?”

“Mm. I miss spending time with ya too.” Kuro smiles at you, before it turns into a frown. “But that ain’t an excuse to skip afterschool activities–”

“–Done!” You interrupt, mostly to get Kuro to drop his nagging, but also because your handiwork isn’t too shabby. You grin to yourself. “Whatcha think?”

Kuro inspects his hands, and you feel small stirrings of nervousness. But his next words assuage any anxiety. “I love it. Really. It’s great, honestly. I’m gonna show it off to everyone when I get the time.”

“Yeah?” You laugh. “Okay. I’ll hold you to that. Happy birthday, Kuro.”

notes!

[Image Description: a digital drawing of six original Pearl designs based off of Steven Universe. The art style includes little to no shading to not disrupt the colorful hues.

The Pearls are skinny, elegant Gems with particularly pointed noses and long limbs. They are all drawn kneeling in side-profile with their hands folded in their laps.

The first Pearl has pale, creamy skin, a gem on her navel, and long hair pulled into a loose ponytail. Her hair is blonde with lime-green streaks. She is wearing a green halter top with a yellow stripe, flared yellow pants, and green gloves. A short, striped cape is pinned to her top with a small star and drapes across her left arm. Starfruit Pearl looks ahead with a gentle smile.

The second Pearl has currant-red skin, a gem on her chest, and red hair with blunt bangs that has been pulled into a straightened ponytail. A white tiara with red beads has been placed on her head. She is wearing an off-the-shoulder dress with puffed sleeves and a berry pattern on the skirt and tall, white stockings. Earrings of red beads hang from her ears. Pomegranate Pearl has a bored expression on her face.

The third Pearl has mint-green skin, a gem on her right hand, and wavy, blue hair streaked with purple pulled into a round bun. Long locks of hair hang over her shoulders. She is wearing a sleek, blue dress with an indigo bust shaped like berries and a purple bow on her back. Slits are cut out between the bust and the waistline. Her indigo sandles have crisscrossing straps up to her knees. Blueberry Pearl lays her hands at her sides with a flat expression.

The fourth Pearl has plum-purple skin and aubergine hair styled into an elaborate, braided bun. A purple ribbon is tied around her head. She is wearing an off-the-shoulder dress with a ruffled bodice, polka-dot leggings, and ankle boots. A black ribbon is tied around her neck. Blackberry Pearl smiles coyly.

The fifth Pearl has cream-colored skin, a gem on her right leg, and a fluffy, peach bob with cat ears and a fluffy tail. She is wearing a green, two-piece leotard with a jester-like ruffle around her neck and sheer sleeves that also have ruffles at the hems. Peach Pearl smiles with alert eyes.

The sixth Pearl has pale-pink skin and red, straightened hair with blunt bangs and cat ears. The insides of her ears resembles a strawberry. She is wearing a leotard that also resembles the inside of a strawberry with long sleeves that cover her hands. Strawberry Pearl flashes a toothy smile.

End Description.]

relationship status: this soul is an independent one, I like living by myself.

fav color: look, on the one hand I always want to DROWN in a really dark green, but I've also spent the last couple of months being OBSESSED with that kind of desert art duo of pink and pale blue teamed with a white or dark green (think Miami track colours for those people who can follow that specific thought process through, or the kind of colours you get if you google palm springs desert art).

song stuck in ur head: Let Me Drown by Orville Peck / Dwight and Duley by Cris Williamson (at first it was admiration // he found a friend in something less than good // he comes on the regular // he comes on the regular now) - I think it's actually a song about a horse during lockdown but as no lyrics exist on the internet for it then I'll just make my own assumptions thank u

last song u listened to: Funeral by Phoebe Bridgers

3 fav foods: Look, I like pretty much everything so narrowing it down is hard but Ken Hom has a beef green curry with aubergine in his old Ken Hom Cooks Thai cookbook and it's by far the best green curry I've ever had outside a restaurant, so. That. There's a place near me that does a breakfast bao, which is basically a sausage patty and egg and hash brown and sriracha in a bao and I don't want to throw down the location pin too specifically but if you know, you know. And my mum's lasagne with her bechamel sauce is my favourite thing to eat and it's always my first choice for my birthday meal (however close that falls to my actual birthday).

last google: um. well. before sriracha so I could figure out how to spell it, it was 'anatomical penis diagram' for this Max/Daniel fic I'm writing (don't ask), except my unexpected learning was that dicks have a muscle called the bulbospongiosus muscle, and -- aside from sounding like a pokemon -- I didn't know THAT existed before, so we've all learned something today.

dream trip: Right now I am too sick to travel, which sucks, particularly as I have a LOT of air miles from some judicious use of an air miles credit card for the whole of lockdown + beyond BUT the fantasy would be a) come hang out with friends in America again, it's been too long, and too many plans got put on hold years ago, b) some ridiculous train journey out of a mystery novel, like the Orient Express or whatever, some fancy sleeper cabin where porters carry my luggage about, and c) I'd love to go back to Dubrovnik, I loved it there even though i was very kidney-sick through that whole trip and should probably have been at home in hospital (jazz hands). That trip was years and years ago. It would be nice to go back (less sick this time). And like a million more trips because the world outside is fascinating.

anything i want right now: Be less unwell would be nice (and obvious) but other than that, the sky outside is SO pink and pretty right now, super lovely sunset. Unfortunately no one told me that moving so close to the sea would mean you had to wash your windows so fucking often because of the salt build up, so I'm looking at this incredible sunset through the grainiest, blurriest window. Magically salt-free windows. That's an achievable one at least.

OFA Blog Rules

These are the rules for all official OFA blogs.

Required rules (rules that all OFA blogs must adhere to to qualify as official)

Create a pinned post to introduce customers to your blog.

tag @thebasilbuffet

link the discord (https://discord.gg/C67rfQx6wH), if you can.

Use appropriate character sprites, drawings, or other images when relevant (ie. character is saying or doing something).

Customers must be able to order food through asks.

No NSFW asks. NSFW asks should be deleted if they’re sent for whatever reason.

Store owner must be either an OMORI character or an OC (must have permission from the OC creator if not one’s own OC)

Do not excessively maintag. Occasional maintagging is fine, but we don't want to clog up the tag.

On a similar vain as rule 6, tag posts with "OMORI Food Administration" (tags are not case-sensitive. Capitalize however you wish)

Text Formatting (Not required*)

When speaking in-character, use a color relevant to your character and use related sprites under the text being spoken.

When speaking out-of-character in the middle of speaking in-character, use italicized text in curly brackets{}

When speaking out-of-character at any point, use black or white text.

Actions or narrator text should be black or white and within brackets[]

*Not required so long as it is obvious when you are speaking in-character, out-of-character, or as a narrator

Recommendations (not required; entirely optional)

Creating a menu. This could also be put on the channel banner.

Tips for improv! (found a seemingly good list at https://www.pantheater.com/rules-of-improv.html)

Tags

(As of now, the list of tags is incomplete. It will be a while before it is.)

Certain posts are tagged (manually--it would be nearly impossible to code; lmk if I make a mistake). The tags for these are in the tags of the post for easy accessibility. Whenever a post that is tagged with one of these tags besides #announcement, the tags on that post will be preceded by #OFA tags: to differentiate them from the original post's tags (this tag is on this post so you can find all posts that have OFA tags easily, if you want to)

Organizational tags:

#OFA tags bot posts/posts from OFA blogs; used to separate the arc tags from the post’s tags

#announcement Any official announcements. self-explanatory

#new blog The pinned post from an OFA blog (this is usually the first one, but there are exceptions)

#not OFA any posts that are not the bot

#tags pending this tag is mainly for me; it refers to bot posts that have not yet been manually tagged

Normal Arc tags:

#bagel mishap HS Basil gave a customer the wrong kind of bagel.

#biggest food order A competition for who could order the most food from the Basil Buffet

#pizza rolls @supbreak20 ordered pizza rolls from most of the main cast (all the blogs that existed at that time)

#spider customer A spider ordered from @hero-cafe (this is one of my favorite arcs honestly)

#mario the cat The pizza rolls arc transitioned into this. A battle against an interdimensional cat named Mario (more commonly referred to as the battle arc; listed as mario for clarity)

Special arc tags (These are special breeds of arcs that have multiple variations):

Capitalist (like Bossman Hero) (the cause/trigger of these arcs are in parentheses after the tag)

HS Hero (special rule: cannot be initiated in the same way twice)

#bossman hero 1 (wore a tie)

HS Mari

#bossgirl mari 1 (wore cat ears) twitch streamer Mari??

#bossgirl mari 2 (wore cat ears) Mari joins the dark side (yes, the one from Star Wars)

Black space (people being sent to black space)

HS Basil

#hs basil black space 1

this organizational system is no longer being used because the bot is no longer being used. Unfortunately, arcs aren't really something that's kept track of anymore, though it is partially logged on the Discord server. (old arcs, most not fully logged)

Next natural dye project... loved the cream home spun / knitted scarf but despite several washes it was still a bit patchy so I decided to try a blackberry dye.

The mordant on this one required alum so I used potash. Was hoping for an aubergine type colour but ended up with a soft grey in the finish 🤪. Still it's a great learning opportunity and the scarf is now pinned out to dry.

This will be a thank you gift for my neighbour who bought me the Cotswold lamb for my fibre work.

Ooh surprise! it's curing a lovely lavender colour!

what is dsaf?

dsaf / dayshift at freddys is a franchise of three visual novel style story games about jack kennedy (orange silly fellow with a dead family (aka the player!!!)), dave miller (aubergine man (aka william afton)), phone guy (scott cawthon (aka harry / scottie / whatever their name depends on the game ur playing). i have to put the rest under cut for spoilers lol . lmao . oh also cw 4 mentions of emotional manipulation, abuse, murder and stalking

the just general plotline goes like this; >dee kennedy (jacks younger sister, later goes on to posess the puppet) is killed at fredbears family diner and henry and dave pin the murder of jack >jack gets springlocked at fredbears while hiding, henry sees him and laughs before leaving him to die >jack escapes (somehow. good for him i suppose!) and leaves to his brothers home

>he starts working at a freddys location (he is later fired for doing unsavory acts on an animatronic) (while this is happening dave gets fired from a DIFFERENT freddys location for throwing foxy into the grand canyon. its never elaborated on how he could fucking do that but whatever) >dave greets jack in an off-camera security room after they end up working at the same location from there theres two options, you can deny daves help and get the 'good end' or you can do the dave route / bad end (<- fun fact youre actually supposed to do the bad end if you want the 'real' ending of dsaf!) UM thats all i can say if i wanted to say more i'd have to explain both fucking paths and i think ive already made a wall of text oops

[factorialsfandoms]

this... was going to be a flufftober prompt, but I got to a point where I liked the ending before I reached the bit where contest actually happened. Oops. TLDR: Malon, from the town just the otherside of the woods, shows up and takes home the summer crop festival with some lovingly grown sweetcorn, narrowly beating Between’s crystal flowers. And Mini in third, his tiny friends having been helping him grow some clover.

And, now I think, /also/ dropping by the LU Server’s crossover event! And introducing my pet au which... only people in the correct discord servers with me know about oopsie. Well, the crossover is with rune factory, and the prompt is competition. I’ll someday write actual info on them, but Storm is ALTTP/Oracles/LA Link and Bracken is TLoZ/AoL Link and Koei is HW Link and... The others either use their usual names or should be obvious? And them all living in one farming village deep in the lost woods, most plot things have never happened to them. Yet. Not all the Links have gathered, either, this being maybe 2 years before plot would occur. Most notably missing is Wild. I had funny for him, but then Storm decided he wanted to be happy.

This isn’t AU plot. This is just fluff.

It was the morning of the Summer Crop Festival, and the village was in full swing. Linkle had the cucuos flying banners up to the balconies, where Twilight was helping Colin pin them into place. Sky was trying to do the same thing, but his own birds were behaving far less well, instead trying to eat the brightly coloured sugar paper. Mayor Hagon was stood in the centre of the town square, directing people to the small tent where Rusl was checking the produce, and logging everyone’s entries.

Most of those making submissions had got them in early, and were now gathered around chatting. Storm was not entering this year, having won the last with an Ironleaf. Instead he would be helping the mayor and Uli judge the competition, serving as a tie break. Farore had given her blessing to him doing so, a knowing smirk on her face as the Oracle had agreed to delay his trip to Labrynna by a few more days.

He loved his apprenticeship to the Oracle, he really did! But, he was going to miss his friends and life in the Hidden Village; soon he was to travel across the sea, spending six months each studying with the Oracles of Seasons and Ages. Storm was just... going to miss these things. It had been strange enough when Koei had been called away to the war, and now Storm would be leaving too.

He wondered if there would be any new arrivals in his absence; Koei’s departure had been maybe two months after Ravio’s arrival, and three before Sky had been thrust into their lives. Both were curious men, both Storm’s seniors and scarred by the war in their own ways. Hopefully Koei would not be as hurt by it as them; hopefully the war would stop taking people away.

Speaking of Ravio, he was speaking with Rusl, giggling about something to do with his aubergine. Given the bright red ears of Between at his side, it was nothing suitable for polite company.

That was not the commotion, though, oh no - the commotion was past the check in station, where Four was arguing with Bracken.

Arguing, Storm said, like Bracken was replying. The boy had pulled his hood up over his face as he flapped apologetically, almost something to do with the jam now covering Four’s cloak. If he had to put money on it, Storm would say that it was likely the Smith’s grandson who had caused the accident, not Bracken, but whatever it was seemed to be resolving itself.

Well, being resolved by Mini stepping on his elder brother’s foot and threatening to call grandpa on him, to the amused delight of Between, and allowing Doctor Odel to rescue his ward from the situation.

“You could go join them, you know?” Uli, sat with him at the judges table, baby Thela sleeping in her arms. “You’re not needed for a little while yet.”

Storm could, he was sure. He could go help Wake and Spirit with their pumpkins, or go borrow Bracken to set up some extra decorations. Maybe Sky would even like a hand wrangling his cucuos, though Storm was firmly of the opinion that anyone who dealt with the birds regularly was signing their own death warrant. He could even go talk with Between and Ravio, though the two seemed rather engrossed in whatever they were plotting.

So, instead, he shook his head, “I’ll talk to them after; nobody’s ever much fun before the results.”

Uli laughed in agreement, and offered him an apple.

He grinned back, taking it. Before he was even half way done, Bracken had slipped up to the table, waving what could only be nervously.

“Yeah?” Storm asked of the one other competent magic wielder of their generation. The Smiths claimed their ancestral powers as magic, but Storm had yet to see any of them cast an actual spell. Ravio, perhaps, but Farore was very strict about enchantment being a different discipline. And, anyway, he had married into the family.

Bracken reached into his capelet, and bought out a bag of confetti with a nervous smile.

Well, so much for sitting with Uli and looking like the responsible adult he almost was. She waved him away as he grabbed Bracken’s hand, taking him up the clocktower.

Up with a little privacy, Bracken did not immediately get the confetti and magic supplies out. Instead he sat down on the ledge, and gestured for Storm to join him.

“Something wrong?” he asked, frowning a little at the younger witch. “Four didn’t hurt you, did he?”

A quick shake of the head was followed by Bracken’s hood being pulled down, a shaky smile joining steady hands as they signed out ‘/I’ll miss you/’.

It was a sentiment a lot of the village shared, and Storm with them.

“It’s only a year,” Storm promised. “And I’ll write to you! Just focus on your own studies, and you won’t even notice it.”

‘/Of course I’ll notice it/,’ Bracken huffed with vague offence. ‘/You’ll be gone/.’

“And I’ll come back, and I’ll bring better stuff back for us to work with. Oracle Naryu lives in the city - there’ll be all sorts of good stuff I can get there. Maybe even some of that fancy glittery confetti they have in the capital.”

There was a long pause, where Bracken did not look terribly reassured. ‘/Just promise you’ll come back safe?/’

“Of course! If anything I should be worried about all of you - I’m at least going /away/ from the war! /And/ I hear there’s fewer gates in Labrynna and Holodrum combined than just the forest. Didn’t you know? And even if something does go wrong, then I guess... Well, I’ll just refuse to die!”

His impassioned speech at least had Bracken silently giggling into his hands. It was for the best; unlike even Wake, Storm had not been beyond the borders of the forest before. The Oracle kept the inn, and Storm had lived with her as long as he could remember. Going abroad, and alone at that? It was terrifying. Still, he was excited, and going to make the most of it.

“Come on, then, let’s get this confetti shower set up,” he pulled himself up, then offered Bracken a hand. “I think some people from the other villages are coming this year? We should get set up before they arrive.”

Bracken took the hand, using it to pull himself up, before grabbing the supplies.

There was not one but three bags of confetti; it was going to be a very, very good year.

Hello sweet friend!! 💕💕 2, 7, and 10 for the soft asks, please! -boo 💕

Booooooo!!!!

Well I started cleaning and did some edits (and like had dinner and stuff) so I'm back for this.

what’s your feel-good movie?

Oh, I have several! Currently my fave is Howl's Moving Castle. I either put the soundtrack on or the movie on my phone to listen to when I am trying to quiet my mind so I can fall asleep. My others are Pacific Rim*, Stardust, The Mummy (1999), Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse*, and The Princess Bride (*movies I watch with my kid which makes them extra fun)

what color brings you peace?

So my favorite color is dark purple-- eggplant/aubergine. But as far as peace, the gray/green/blue of the ocean and sea glass. I'm half mermaid and the water has always called to me and the ocean is so beautiful

what’s something you’re excited for?

OFMD SEASON 2!!!!!! Drarry RBB posting! (There was so much good art, I can't wait to see what everyone made) Getting my half sleeve tattoo (two more months!) And I was able to buy the Gentlebeard tea cup pin from my favorite enamel pin designer (Laserbrain on IG)

And the fact that I have straight-up magenta hair. My mom didn't let me do fun things when I was a kid (natural blonde here) so when I got my job at the salon and realized I'm an adult and can do whatever the fuck I want, I went crazy with my hair. I'm meant to have pink hair

#asked and answered #boooooooo!!!!! #lovely people #about me
