I was tagged by @ladytharen in a get-to-know-you meme some time ago (and on a different blog, but I felt more like doing it on this one). Anyway, it's specifically about getting to know you (or rather, me) via five drinks. I'm interpreting this in a mundane way as five drinks I love.
First up: CHAI, and this isn't just the first that came to mind, but definitely #1 on my list. I like a lot of different kinds from a lot of different brands, from loose leaf to powder to concentrate (just not Oregon Chai or Dutch Bros!). Sometimes I use a chai powder as the sweetener for loose leaf chai/a chai tea bag, for Maximum Impact. I have a personalized spice mix to add to whichever one I'm currently drinking (because "spicy" or "spiced" is almost always weaksauce nonsense), and I probably drink 2-3 cups a day.
Second: hot chocolate! My absolute favorite hot chocolate is from Moonstruck in Portland, but as long as it's dark and has a touch of real sugar, I'll probably like it.
Third: Mountain Dew. I drink it (though I don't get it often) as both a caffeine source and because I genuinely love the flavor. Sometimes I mix it with orange juice, too, but you have to get the proportions right or it tastes weird.
Fourth: water! I actually really love water, especially when it's cool but not iced.
Fifth: orange juice. I do like it on its own! And when I'm in the mood, nothing else will really do. I love going out to a restaurant and getting hashbrowns with it and just starting the day that way.
Tagging: @elwing, @kareenvorbarra, @heckofabecca, @steinbecks, @sqbr, and @hoidn

CHECKPOINT!
Everyone who sees this must:
Hydrate/eat if you haven't in a while!
Take your meds if you have any!
Get up and stretch if possible! If not, close your eyes for a few seconds, or look at something far away
Check the time! Should should you be asleep? Getting ready to go somewhere?
And most importantly, say 3 good things about yourself! In the tags, or comments. Genuinely good things, ones that you like about yourself. No sarcasm. No backhanded compliments.

The way I am a bottomless pit for the paneer butter masala the restaurant down the street makes... I put myself in a food coma last night from it (no survivors) and I'm already like "Man I could go for some butter masala and garlic naan"
Maybe this means I should learn to cook this dish next 🤔

If I were greedy…
I spend a disproportionate amount of time appreciating the addition of these four simple words to the "I really wanted to develop these myself…" line in the manga side scene with how much insight they provide the audience into Ray's mindset during this arc.
Greedy people don't pull off successful escapes. Greedy people risk getting their friends killed. Greedy people end up losing everything.

(Chapter 181.1 | Chapter 4)
It's a layered message to Isabella as well.
You've known what I've wanted for a long time now. None of those three things have changed. You don't have to worry about me betraying you.
The way he looks at her when he says it, too; tries to make himself both nonthreatening to not invoke her ire or suspicion, yet aware enough to convey he can still competently complete his side of their agreement (along with a bit of pettiness, wanting to believe he has more control of the situation and not wanting to let it seem like she can pull a fast one on him. Knowing what's to come in less than 48 hours is heartbreaking), all while having the most subtle sad and tired tinge to his eyes and subdued grin to mask it.
(Because what if things were different for the two of them. For all of them.)

He already believes he's asking for so much, and yet…

Hi!
I know i don't make uh. personal posts super often? Long story short I need some help to make sure my cats got food. currently I'm super low on funds, I'm a disabled student and I don't have the money to cover my bills and feeding the old lady.
You can help out by grabbing a commission from my Kofi, or even just. Tossing a few dollars my way?
Anything helps!

^ the old lady

Sorry, but if a customer is being mean, just plain mean, has a history of being mean and foul and evil, I’m going to gaslight them.
“I’m sorry you feel that way,” I told Clark as he lambasted me for my service. I turned to get his coffee.
“I don’t feel anything,” Clark snarked at my back.
“Oh, it seems like you’re having a lot of unhappy feelings.” I smiled at Clark as I handed him his coffee. “I hope you have a better experience next time!”
“You make it so difficult every time,” Clark said.
“Maybe I won’t next time,” I said. “Do you need your receipt?”
“I’m calling the district manager,” Clark snarled.
“Oh then you’ll definitely want your receipt,” I said, still smiling. “It has my name on it.”
Clark snatched up his coffee and bustled out of the building.
I’m going to find Clark one day. I’m going to find him in the wild and ask him if he’s having a better day yet.

For no reason in particular, imagine you live in a small, isolated but tight-nit community at the foot of an mountain, shrouded by local myth and superstition. You live alone with a beloved pet, but you need work to support yourself.
assume, that, for whatever reason you are stuck with the job you picked, and the local law enforcement/fire department/or on call security detail will NOT help you. whatever secrets you discover you must keep to yourself!

Domestic pet therian food hack I learned from when I still considered myself a dog therian:
We all know cereal is a great kibble replacement, right? Well I see your cereal and raise you:
Grains that don't stick together!
Parboiled rice and some types of small pastas are excellent at getting a similar texture to kibble. Of course this removes some of the crunch but if you're willing to sacrifice that then it's really good :)
(Also they can be served in like a MILLION different ways so you'll never get bored!)
Crispy roasted chickpeas are a great substitute too :3
(I always used to see food hacks that were mainly sweet focused and while I DO have a sweet tooth I was always disappointed there weren't more savory ones too so I'm sharing one of mine :])

some tragic love stories be like: if i could bottle the galaxy, i would pour it into a cup so it would be easier for you to drink. do you want them? do you want the stars? or do they suit you better as adornments for your eyes than glitter on your lips?
but they don’t want the stars. they don’t want the galaxy. but how can they not? is that not enough? (it’s too much, that’s the problem. it’s too much.)
#ney's idle chatter (random textposts)#me trying and failing to capture why hadestown has embodied Love in a way i don’t think i’m really capable of comprehending fr#but also this can be about whatever blorbo you want#when i think about that one line in chant#when hades says ‘brighter than the light of day’#‘look. look at what i can make for you—see?’#meanwhile the last thing persephone wants is to be reminded of this hollow echo of what their love is in her memories#when i think about that scene when eurydice tells orpheus they need to get food#but he’s working on his song and she makes the choice to trust him and go#to work harder and longer and search for things to feed them and trust he’ll bring spring back#THE WAY PERSEPHONE TRIES TO KISS HADES GOODBYE AT THE START WHEN SHE COMES BACK FOR SUMMER#AND HOW IT PARALLELS EURYDICE KISSING ORPHEUS GOODBYE WHEN SHE GOES TO LOOK FOR FOOD#and hades pulls away. because she’s leaving him and he’s terrified. he’s terrified and turns it into anger because otherwise he’s helpless.#and orpheus doesn’t respond when eurydice leaves because he’s working—he’s working and he’s going to give her what he promised.#but she needs his help. she needs his help now—she needs his support and he isn’t there.#thinking about the moment she takes the ticket from hades and#it almost implies she starves. that she dies. that she starves to death trying to find food for them both#i promise you however unhinged i seem about this musical i am being purposefully restrained so i don’t spam you all too much orz#holy SHIT these tags are LONG#even for me this is ridiculous there’s a whole other post down here#high five to you for reading it ig damn#hadestown

My one pet peeve on people with Alastor, and its honestly such a fucking silly thing to just be disappointed in people for, but I can't help it. My family is from Louisiana. I grew up on gumbo and jambalaya. My daddy had to take language classes on Louisiana French when he was in high school because it was a requirement as the language is dying.
So the pet peeve?
Alastor knowing French.
Louisiana French Creole / Louisiana French / Louisiana Creole is not exactly French. It is a French Creole, so it has similarities, but a Creole language is not same thing as the languages that make it up. So Alastor wouldn't know French but he might understand French if someone spoke it, although it'd be weird to hear. He'd know Louisiana French Creole...and you can find dictionaries for Louisiana French Creole and lessons on how to speak it so you know how to conjugate it on the internet easily.
For example in French cat is chat.
In Louisiana French Creole cat is shá.
...I like languages, ok? Like I said, its a silly thing to be disappointed over, and I know ya'll love the character and that's why ya'll drag in the French cuz Louisiana and New Orleans and the French Quarter and I get it. I do.
Just wanted to share I guess.

Stinky is in a bad way :( He became lethargic last night and I noticed signs of dehydration (I don't think he drank yesterday???). For the past 12 hours I've been syringe-feeding baby food, pedialyte, and water while keeping him warm with blankets and a space heater. It's been working and perking him up, but he's really weak still :( He's been having issues that we thought cleared up, but he'll be at the vet tomorrow when his doctor is back in office. Poor guy!
