Focusing on tea as a way to preserve an herb rather than a way to change the taste of water is a fun perspective, as it’s opposite to what historians think happened in “real” life.

I don’t know very much about the history of tea, so if you know anything about the subject, please enlighten me further! Or I’ll go on a resea…[Read more]

It would be funny if it still dyes your teeth green despite the liquid itself being purple. Maybe a bluish green to match the fern.

This. Yes.

People are obsessed with packaging things, storing it in air-tight containers, drying it – and tea mixes are a natural byproduct.

Oh, interesting! Focusing on tea as a way to preserve an herb rather than a…[Read more]

This is a very cool niche world building topic.

When steeped into a tea, it’s a dark purple color

This is a fun topic for me to dive into because one of my characters loves herbal drinks/teas and s…[Read more]

I keep missing people’s art in this chat for some reason. Everyone is making lovely art. I like all of it.

@loopylin

Boredom seems to elicit great talent in you

@mineralizedwritings
Thanks for the detailed wings drawing. It’s really cool to see a character with skeletal wings like that. I want to know more about his world and everything.

please use your imagination.

Understandable. XD It’s supposed to be a reference drawing so it makes sense to only feather one of the wings. Best to leave one bare as an…[Read more]

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel’s eyes cracked open a few hours later, still hazy with exhaustion. He let out a small sigh, then went silent a second, before sitting up as if in alarm, untangling his fingers from the ribbon, and drawing his blades, red veins going up the blade. He scanned the fog around him, then shook his head. The voices in his…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Thanks! Now I just need to find a minute to get a character in here, lol. (and pick one too. XD)

@grcr

praying!

@mineralizedwritings

Yep!

Wait guys are our characters wearing crowns?? They are princes after all right?

Wait, what if they have to earn their crowns and they get special customized ones after a while? That might be fun.

Y’all! Something kind of random but cool!

A general principle when applying camouflage is to use lighter colors on the places that tend to be in shadow (around eyes and under the chin) and use darker colors on places that catch light (Nose, cheek bones, forehead.

Now for the fun part! If you have a mackerel tabby, go take a look at it! (I was…[Read more]

@grcr

Oh, in Jesus name! Praying here.

@ellette-giselle

Lol!

I agree that it’s good to get good rest, and generally best to sleep and wake up early. However, I think the exhaustion of adulthood is often life itself. XD Yes, good sleep makes it better, as does understanding different ways to truly rest and good time management. But I wouldn’t dare look at the young mom and say “if you…[Read more]

@koshka

Huh, that’s really interesting!

but at least we don’t go jumping out of bed before the sun.

But you miss one of the most beautiful things in life! The sunrise! And you also miss praying as the sun rises, so that you begin your bible and prayer in the darkness and end in the light. It’s so cool!

@whalekeeper

Oh i always use Mrs. Miss. or Mr. (Master still hasn’t stuck, lol) But I would still call them friends.

@ellette-giselle

Yeah I’ve always loved hanging out with older folks. I’m just super conditioned to calling people Mr. or Mrs. and feeling disrespectful otherwise.

To put it in perspective, I’ve gone to bed at 8, woken at 8, and felt hungover until noon. My mum has insomnia. It’s just a quality of sleep thing.

@whalekeeper

I have friends at least twelve years older than me… in fact, some as much as thirty years older and I still call them friends.

Ah, I see.

If it’s not lack of sleep hygiene, it’s little creatures about three feet tall with runny noses.

@elishavet-pidyon  @whalekeeper

hmmm, guess what?? I wake up at 5:00. I am never tired like this unless I’ve been sick. There is something wrong with you night people…..

I think it’s a fern that’s young fronds grow as little blue curls and can be coiled into pellets. It’s usually wound around a certain red berry and dried. The fern has a fresh green taste while the berry is supper tart and bitter. When steeped into a tea, it’s a dark purple color and usually drunk with several spoonfuls of honey.
