Some late night Ted Lasso sketches since I realized that I haven’t drawn any fanart of it, and was meaning to for a while 

#fanart #ted lasso #roy kent #sam obisanya #coach beard #jamie tartt #dani rojas #keely jones #rebecca welton #nathan shelley #higgins #trent crimm #sketches #ted lasso apple tv plus #apple tv plus #i was going to draw some fanart when i finished watching season 2 last year but then stuff came up #i guess two of my fave shows are on apple tv plus who knew #looking forward to season 3 whenever it comes out #it's such a nice show #i remember describing it as a nice cup of tea on a chilly autumn afternoon

trying to figure out where we're all moving in case tumblr does get nuked in between being like yeah this is the end of my social media era you can reach me by carrier pigeon from now on

#cohost has a similar interface? there's also bluesky? i've heard about it although i don't have an account #but bluesky seems to be going more for a twitter-like interface? #i don't like that #at this point i am giving out my phone number to anyone who asks #because that's the only sure way to reach me ever #I GUESS MY DREAM OF GOING TO LIVE IN THE WOODS AND BE A HERMIT MIGHT COME TRUE AFTER ALL #GOING OFFLINE #SINCE TUMBLR WILL BE GONE ANYWAY #catch me packing my books and dvds and moving #i feel like the vibes for this can only be found in northern countries but i literally can't stand the cold? #so i might have to compromise on the vibes and accept some remote rocky beach or something instead of the woods #tea's ramblings

[just-slightly-chaotic]

i need someone to poke me with a stick every 10 minutes and tell me to study

#i've watched 4 youtube videos #changed playlists 7 times #tried to reorganise my room before giving up #changed locations thrice #made 2 tumblr posts that went in my drafts #and made myself 3 hot beverages #(one of which i forgot about before taking one sip and then went to make another one because 'oh i wanted a tea! can't believe i forgot' #searched for 10 minutes for my mug (spoiler alert: it was on my table with already prepared tea) and then just took a different one. #then i came back to the room with it just to come face to face with the other tea) #oh and i also sent 50 messages to my little brother who's in class rn #oops #and guess what i'm doing right now? making yet another tumblr post instead of studying #the adhd seems to be adhding particularly hard today #tea's ramblings

We did it Carla, you got avenged!

#playing replaying #I always start with the northern hunter she's the least problematic dragon of the game for me lol #now let's pray for ankh's liver for a moment #she doesn't drink like at all #but I had to do the following cutscene with bull to celebrate it because if you don't drink you don't deserve closure with your companion #when it comes to something relevant for the both of you #I know it's not too deep and I'm totally projecting but #I don't think it's fair? I should be able to listen to him talk and sip some tea or whatever instead of having alcohol #'u don't wanna celebrate with alcohol? you're no fun go away' #wasn't bull one of the most understanding characters in the game tho lol #I guess we're drawing the line when it comes to alcohol #sry to those who read my tags I just found out and I had to vent for a moment lol

Some of those doctors make hating oat milk their entire personality. I hate them. Cannot pretend to find them funny or like i give a shit. Fucking pretentious assholes

#also my colleague (the girl i had my shift with) is the exact opposite of me in all aspects. asked me if I'd ever worked in customer service #because i couldn't care less about being fake friendly to assholes and don't care if they like the service or not #like bitch those people don't have any other choice but drink our fucking coffee it's not like I'm competing with anyone #or like they pay us in any way. i get paid for doing the dumb work i have to do not for stroking some dumb ass doctors' egos #they come out of their rooms once an hour to get coffee and we have the cups on the table and i wouldn't even Think of #HANDING them the cups and smiling sweetly at them and asking 'coffee? tea?? :))' #I'll just assume these grown adults will get their stupid coffee or tea when they want some. it's not like they don't know where it is #(and i AM friendly and smile when someone is coming in our direction but why the fuck do you need to get so disgustingly friendly with them #if someone held up a cup asking if i.want some coffee I'd leave immediately even if i came just for coffee. it's creepy) #anyway. she's nice. I'm not. #there's normal people who will get their coffee and maybe ask if the milk in the little jug is cow milk to which I'll happily reply 'yes #:)'. then there's the other people who see the oat milk and make it clear they are the most insufferable people on the planet #(and i pity their patients so much. not much to choose from i guess but if i had that as a doctor I'd happily just die) #like everyone who took oatmilk could do it without making a fuss about the cow milk on the table. the cow milk lovers could never #'the oat milk is in front of the actual milk. this is unacceptable. i hate such healthy bullshit' lol okay #'OAT milk?? I'll leave this to the horses! THANK GOD you have actual milk!' #my favorite was the one who really took personal offense with its sheer presence. as if it had killed half of his patients lmao #'we had 50 patients with xyz problem. ALL of them drink oat milk. they cannot see the connection. it's really unhealthy' #at this point i just said i didn't care and stopped paying attention and he started complaining to his doctor colleague about how #oat milk is advertised to be healthy and how it's actually the opposite and i just find that very funny compared to the first comment #from that one guy who doesn't like such healthy bullshit. you guys need to find a consensus on the oatmilk issue i think. no one takes you #seriously if you contradict yourself like this. also i couldn't care less about the healthiness of the milk alternative of my choice. bitch. #next week I'll end up killing someone. i hope they all die from their cow milk. (but not the ones who took cow milk and didn't say anything #about the oat milk. they can continue living as they didn't annoy me) #void screams #some of these doctors were actually quite nice (most of them even). one even brought an applicant to us telling her to get some coffee #(which we are not allowed to give to applicants. but i don't care. I'd rather they get something than some of the asshole jury members #who hate oat milk (which is not the issue. the issue is them making it everybody else's issue that they don't like oat milk))

hi I'm the anon that hates the kinn is a cheater trope lol

you're so lucky to have not come across fics like that bcs I unfortunately have. thank god I didn't read it but I saw the summary and it already made my blood boil cause our lovesick puppy kinn WILL NEVER DO THAT. And tbh, i feel people who write kinn as a cheater just doesn't understand his character AT ALL and just sorry, plain lazy writing, and just use the cheating trope as an excuse make their fics "interesting" or "exciting"

sorry for this 2nd entry I'm passionate about this and I hate when they make kinn some cheating asshole when he isnt!! he has TONS of issues but surely cheating is not.

oki promise I'm done lol 🤸‍♀️

(prev)

😂❤ lol no worries, you're good anon.

like. i don't want to just straight up complain about the concept? ultimately, cheating Kinn isn't for me and i'm going to scroll past it. but there's all sorts of reasons for why people might be drawn to those types of stories and fic is ultimately more about using characters like barbies. i do agree with you in that it's not a characterization/action i see in Kinn's character and it's not a type of story drama i'm drawn to in general, so i'm personally going to mute or exclude tags. but people are going to play with characters in every way and that's the cool thing about fandom, and i'm happy they're having fun in their corner while i stick to mine 👍

#like. in vibes im with you anon re my take on kinn's character but also im not going to intrude on that space with my public tumblr u know #the sandbox is big and varied and that's what makes fandom fun <3 #even when there are corners of said sandbox that aren't for me #tea asks #***just wanna stress i!! dont mean this as anything against u anon!! #its a choose violence ask game so i knew it was gonna be tricky when i also dont want to accidentally hurt anyone's feelings #so im trying to stick to me talking about more broadscale stuff where my posts can easily be dismissed as ''just op's stupid takes'' for #anyone who does like whatever thing i dont care for or otherwise easy to scroll by #vs any complaints that are too specific and feel more targeted #but im also guessing on vibes. hopefully i dont come off as to contradictory but yea !!

This is a long ways out, but I figure I should give you a heads up ahead of time: the Tea Party and ???? sections that unlock after you complete an episode are NOT optional or extra content that you should review after you finish the game, they're integral to the story. You're pretty on the ball with this kind of thing, but some people make the mistake of assuming that they can ignore them and get VERY confused later.

noted! i think it was explained to me that these chapters/segments/whatever they are should be pretty clearly signposted but i'll make extra sure to pay attention whenever i finish episode 1

#lastendlibrarian #luckily i've developed a pavlovian reflex where whenever the glossary gets updated i immediately check it out #so i probably wouldn't have missed it but since whatever these things are are of such grave importance i will be extra super careful #coming from a person who never skipped the homestuck intermission i can guarantee i'll try not to miss out on a single piece of content #trying resolutely not to think about what exactly these tea party/??? things could be until it's the time #but i won't lie that these grave warnings not to neglect them does have me curious #guess i'll find out for myself eventually at some point (hopefully this year lmao)

Female character in a movie: *wears glasses*

Me: :D

Female character: *does not express romantic interest in the main character*

Me: I know how this will end for her and her glasses :(

#I WISH WHOEVER MADE UP THIS TROPE ALWAYS HAS THEIR ICED TEA ABOVE ROOM TEMPERATURE #taking off someone's glasses isn't romantic at all it's mean and tbh they look better with glasses #also why do we never see this trope for guys? (who also look better with glasses) #idk i guess this is personal for me because some flirt at work once asked me why i 'have to wear glasses' like that would be a compliment? #i have a list of retorts i was societaly unable to tell him #and also couldnt come up with on the spot #also fyi the movie i was watching as i made this post is herbie goes bananas

How so you make cold tea taste good?? Help a girl out here

Of course! Here's how I do black, green and red berry/fruit tea in summer (keep in mind that I don't like my drinks too sweet, so you might want to add more honey if it's too bitter for you).

Also, I prepare my iced/cold teas in advance and this way always have a prepared ration at hand in my fridge. It doesn't take more time than regular tea to actually prepare it, but you have to take into account the extended resting time).

Loose leaf tea is the way to go. I try not to be a snob here, but I cannot imagine this working too well with bagged tea and the few times I tried in the beginning, it ended up tasting like sludge.

Cold black tea with milk (750mL):

take a non-insulated bottle you can screw shut

put 6-8 teaspoons of black tea leaves in the bottle

fill the rest up with cold water

shake thoroughly

put it in the fridge for at least 6 hours, preferrably overnight

it should have the same colour as the tea brewed hot, or at least a similar one

strain the entire thing into another container (you can use either a coffee pour-over, a normal strainer or just mix the entire thing in a french press from the very beginning if you have a big fridge)

add milk to taste, but keep in mind that you'll need less than for regular hot black tea, bc the tea is less strong in flavour anyway

I recommend keeping the cold brewed tea in the fridge and add the milk directly into your glass/cup. I have no idea how milk reacts if mixed with tea and stored cold for longer amounts of time. It's possible it spoils or changes taste.

I guess it's possible to add honey, but it won't dissolve as well as with hot tea

Iced black tea (750mL):

750mL of black tea brewed hot (Blend of your choice. I personally use Earl Grey, but I imagine Darjeeling or more fruity blends would work as well, I just haven't tried any yet.)

4 cL lemon juice

1-2 cL elderflower syrup

1-2 tablespoons of honey

1 heat resistant, non-insulated bottle for 750mL which you can screw close

Let the black tea cool down a bit (it should still be fairly warm though) (I leave the tea in for this part bc I like it strong, but I guess taking it out after the regulated "brewing time" on the package is enough, even with this ratio of other ingredients).

Strain out the tea leaves

Pour the lemon juice, syrup and honey into the bottle and add the warm black tea

Shake the closed bottle like a bartender so all ingredients are dissolved, especially the honey.

Put it in the fridge for at least 6 hours (or until it's cold enough to your liking)

Cold green tea (330mL):

take a closed, non-insulated bottle you can screw shut

put 3-4 teaspoons of green tea leaves in the bottle

I personally really enjoy a mango green tea mix, but any regular green tea has worked so far

fill the rest up with cold water

shake thoroughly

put it in the fridge for at least 6 hours, preferrably overnight

it should have a slight green-ish colour

strain the entire thing into another container (you can use either a coffee pour-over, a normal strain or just mix the entire thing in a french press from the very beginning if you have a big fridge)

Ta-Da!

I drink it just like that, but I can imagine a bit of diluted lemon juice and honey will taste good as well (even though, again, you might have a harder time dissolving the honey than if it were hot)

cold red berry/fruit tea (330mL):

take a non-insulated bottle you can screw shut

put 3-4 teaspoons of your loose tea blend of choice in the bottle

fill the rest up with cold water

shake thoroughly

put it in the fridge for at least 6 hours, preferrably overnight

it should be very red at this point, especially when held against the light

strain the entire thing into another container (you can use either a coffee pour-over, a normal strain or just mix the entire thing in a french press from the very beginning if you have a big fridge)

Ta-Da!

I wouldn't add anything at this point bc my red tea has an incredibly strong flavour in and of itself, but you can experiment however you want!

There are the ones I make for myself, but I've been told Jasmin tea and white tea also taste really nice when brewed cold. And I personally re-use glass bottles I already own bc I have less qualms about keeping drinks in there for longer periods of time and it looks nicer than in plastic or anything else.

#Oof these became much longer and detailed than I originally thought #but I don't know how detailled my explaination should be? Anyway I hope it helps #also keep in mind that I live in Germany so these ratios and tea blends etc... might differ considering whatever is available for you #I specify the non-insulated bottle part #bc the first time I was stupid and thought myself really smart #bc I wanted to take the tea with me but keep it cold #and I did all of this in a big thermos #so guess who wasted a ton of energy and was greeting with still incredibly hot tea come morning? #exactly: me. I'm a fucking dumbass #anyway keep this to yourself okay?

after one of your leave, you came back to work with a ring around your finger.

you didn't mention it to anyone, and people simply noticed it when talking to you or handing you things. they congratulated you, talking about the ring. you nervously brushed it off, trying to explain it.

ghost didn't know about it either, and when he overheard someone talking about it, he dropped his mug of tea on the floor, the pieces scattering around the place.

this was such a shock to someone who had planned to propose to you.

well, propose might be a bit too far, considering you two are not even dating. he wanted to say it, but things were a little too hectic and he didn't have the guts to ask you out and moreover you're not sure if you'd like him... even if you two have been friends in the taskforce for years.

then again, in his mind, you two are practically an old married couple.

he was clearly upset by this, ignoring you and trying to push you away. he was undoubtedly hurt. did you elope with someone? why didn't you tell him? invite him to the party? did your "friendship" with him mean nothing at all?

ghost was snappy, in a terrible mood overall. he snaps at johnny, yells at gaz, and even glares at price. he was constantly on edge and it's starting to piss you off. so you confront him.

"what the hell's up with you?"

he didn't feel like humoring you, sitting down all irritated over his meal instead.

"you've been avoiding me all week, snapping at people... did i do something wrong?"

so he went off at you.

"wanna know what's wrong? you. coming back to base with a bloody ring. let me guess, you eloped with someone? is that it?" he hissed, "and here i thought i'd propose, that's out of the fuckin' window now."

you sat there, taking his words in. "... it's a fidget ring?"

you showed your hand to him, using your fingers to spin the little parts of your ring. he didn't realize how you've been fidgeting with it, or how you explained to people over and over that you're not married or engaged.

all of the sudden ghost felt like his blood ran cold, not only because he just acted so stupid jealous over a trinket, he basically admitted that he wanted to marry you.

"... wait, you wanted to propose to me?"
