Sakura Pigma Microns. I haven’t mastered getting a reliable thickness from my dip pen, so I really like using the Microns. They’re very similar to a thin India ink, just as archival, and come in a wide range of thicknesses. (I typically use 02 – 003 but it’s nice to have a chunky 08 once in a while.) Plus they’re much easier…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Really? Come to think of it, I don’t know where I got it. It’s not really a common phrase where I grew up. XD

But hey, if bats aren’t a good description of mildly erratic feelings frustrated madness, I don’t know what is.

Wilhelm

He crept up the stairway like a creature of the night. A creature of the night with golden hair and freckles.

But he was only like a creature of the night, not one in reality. He focused on setting his feet down silently, keeping his weight balanced evenly.

There were drafts of cold wind in this stairwell. They chilled the back of his…[Read more]

@whalekeeper aw, yaaayyyy. XD Glad to be liked. @loopylin Add at thy pleasure! Wilhelm is lost somewhere and could probably use someone redirecting him.

I don’t remember age requirements. In a fantasy school, that could get tricky to calculate. So, I’m supposing the boys are an equivalent of teen years.

Wilhelm Kemp is the second son of Artur…[Read more]

What about gout? It’s caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the blood which get deposited in joints (hyperuricemia). The only real treatment of it is to try to reduce inflamation, change to a low uric acid diet (no red meats, ect.), and exercise.

But think of it like this: there is a substance in some food that forms crystals in a person’s…[Read more]

Sorely tempted to do another evil chef scene for absolutely no reason.

@power

Whoa. That explains a lot.

@notsureifIshouldtagsomeone @kindaramblinginteruption

I kinda want to add a character here… One from an old WIP, just to see if there was life left in it. XD The world building and character development is terrible. But I still kinda love it.

It’s like Rangers Apprentice+the Silmarilion+Knights of Aerethtrae+Men of Iron. Medieval kids and…[Read more]

*Sudden joy* (warning this post gets rather long)

Well, the history of tea is a really fun topic to study! I haven’t gone every deep in it, just enough to wet my proverbial toes. Here will be some rough notes.. I’ll share some articles, but I doesn’t want to disturb Wyoh, and I haven’t been able to find the ones I read a while ago.…[Read more]

@loopylin

*cackling* Oh, these are Splendid!

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]

@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]

@whalekeeper

That meme feels way too relatable.

@ellette-giselle

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 don’t argue that there isn’t something up with us, but at least we don’t go jumping out of bed before the sun.

Kinda random, but did you…[Read more]

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.

@whalekeeper

Ugh. XD Comes up in 80% of conversations. Small talk when the weather isn’t really interesting.

Adult life shouldn’t be like this. We should sleep more. Although, considering the people I work with are either busy middle aged folk or young parents of small children, people have reasons to be tired. If it’s not lack of sleep…[Read more]

@keilah-h

never mind that it doesn’t make BIBLICAL sense, nothing about that law even makes SCIENTIFIC sense.

As someone who is not getting used to hearing weird politically correct phraseology in Health textbooks, I would honestly like this on a T-shirt please.

@whalekeeper

Lol. He starts off sounding reliable. But he happens to believe a similar lie to the MC, so partway into the story you get to suddenly realize something doesn’t add up.

Or at least, that’s the plan. Who knows. I might make him the only person who knows the truth, but make that truth kinda hard to believe. We’ll see.

The prophesy…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I don’t think it would be a good thing if Leo deserted his current authoress… especially for the resident psychopath.. XD

I’m actually very excited about this Fairy project, and I think if it’s finished, Leo stands a good chance of getting written too. (And getting written better than he would be now.) That’s my theory. Don’t…[Read more]
