The Chronicles of Faerie by O. R. Melling (1993-2003)

American Gwen and her Irish cousin, Findabhair, have long planned a summer of backpacking around Ireland, visiting sites out of the old legends of fairy folk. Little do they know that it is the summer of the Hunter's Moon, a dangerous time for mortals who meddle with the kingdom of Faerie. One night, camping out on old ruins, Finn is kidnapped by the Faerie king, who wants her for a bride and possible sacrifice. It is up to Gwen, the more indecisive of the two, to rescue her cousin.

The Farsala Trilogy by Hilari Bell (2003-2006)

Stories are told of a hero who will come to Farsala's aid when the need is greatest. But for thousands of years the prosperous land of Farsala has felt no such need, as it has enjoyed the peace that comes from being both feared and respected.

Now a new enemy approaches Farsala's borders, one that neither fears nor respects its name and legend. But the rulers of Farsala still believe that they can beat any opponent.

Three young people are less sure of Farsala's invincibility. Jiaan, Soraya, and Kavi see Time's Wheel turning, with Farsala headed toward the Flames of Destruction. What they cannot see is how inextricably their lives are linked to Farsala's fate -- until it's too late.

Everworld by K. A. Applegate (1999-2001)

David’s life was pretty normal. School. Friends. Girlfriend. Actually, Senna was probably the oddest aspect of his life. She was beautiful. Smart. But there was something very different about her. Something strange.

And on the day it began, everything happened so quickly. One moment, Senna was with him. The next, she was swallowed up by the earth, her screams echoing from far, far away. David couldn’t just let her go. Neither could the others. His friends—and hers. So, they followed. And found themselves in a world they could have never imagined.

Now they have to find Senna and get home without losing their lives. Or their minds. Or both…

The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe (2004)

A young man in his teens is transported from our world to a magical realm that contains seven levels of reality. Very quickly transformed by magic into a grown man of heroic proportions, he takes the name Able and sets out on a quest to find the sword that has been promised to him, a sword he will get from a dragon, the one very special blade that will help him fulfill his life ambition to become a knight and a true hero.

Inside, however, Able remains a boy, and he must grow in every sense to survive the dangers and delights that lie ahead in encounters with giants, elves, wizards, and dragons.

Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice by Dave Wolverton and Jude Watson (1999-2002)

Twelve-year-old Obi-Wan Kenobi desperately wants to be a Jedi Knight. After years at the Jedi Temple, he knows the power of the lightsaber and the Force. But he cannot control his own anger and fear. Because of this, the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn will not take him on as a Padawan apprentice.

Now Obi-Wan is about to have his first encounter with true evil. He must face off against unexpected enemies--and face up to his own dark wishes.

Only then can his education as a Jedi truly begin.

Skylark by Meagan Spooner (2012-2014)

For fifteen years, Lark Ainsley waited for the day when her Resource would be harvested and she would finally be an adult. After the harvest she expected a small role in the regular, orderly operation of the City within the Wall. She expected to do her part to maintain the refuge for the last survivors of the Wars. She expected to be a tiny cog in the larger clockwork of the city. Lark did not expect to become the City's power supply. For fifteen years, Lark Ainsley believed in a lie. Now she must escape the only world she's ever known...or face a fate more unimaginable than death.

Westmark by Lloyd Alexander (1981-1984)

When Theo agrees to print a traveling showman's pamphlet, he only thinks of the money it will bring in. Instead, it sets off a chain reaction that results in the smashing of the press and the murder of his master. Caught on the wrong side of the law, Theo must flee the city. Soon, he has teamed up with the traveling showman Count Las Bombas (who is actually a con artist) and his servant. The trio is soon joined by Mickle, a clever, strong-willed girl with a mysterious past. Performing feats that astound and amaze, the motley crew falls into a trap set by Chief Minister Cabbarus, who is determined to wrest power from the grief-stricken king. Now they must not only save themselves-they must save the kingdom...

The Goblin Wood by Hilari Bell (2003-2011)

One terrible day, Makenna, a young hedgewitch, witnesses her mother's murder at the hands of their own neighbors. Stricken with grief and rage, Makenna flees the village that has been her home. In the wilds of the forest, she forms an unexpected alliance. Leading an army of clever goblins, Makenna skillfully attacks the humans, now their shared enemy.

What she doesn't realize is that the ruling Hierarchy is determined to rid the land of all magical creatures, and they believe Makenna is their ultimate threat - so they have sent a young knight named Tobin into the Goblin Wood to entrap her.

In this captivating fantasy adventure, the difference between Bright and Dark magic is as deceptive as our memories, hopes, and fears -- and the light of loyalty and friendship has a magic all of its own.

A young hedgewitch, an idealistic knight, and an army of clever goblins fight against the ruling hierarchy that is trying to rid the land of all magical creatures.

Hexwood by Diana Wynne Jones (1993)

When Controller Borasus receives a strange letter from Earth he is both curious and alarmed. Someone has activated an ancient machine and is using it for most trivial purposes. Surely no one would dare to tamper with Reigner seals in this way? Yet the effects of such interference resonate throughout the universe, so he decides to go to Hexwood Farm to investigate…

On Hexwood Estate, Ann watches the mysterious comings and goings with interest. She knows something deadly is going on – or is Hexwood simply altering her too?

Guides for Dating Vampires by D. N. Bryn (2022-present)

Vincent Barnes has suffered four years as a vampire, and they’ve been the most miserable years of his pathetic life. Too poor for black market blood, he feeds from sleeping humans to survive. He tries to never intrude on the same prey twice, but after a single delicious taste of a long-lost childhood neighbor, he can’t help returning for seconds.

Wesley Garcia has been waking up with fang marks. Lucky for him, he needs a vampire—to use as bait. He’s certain Vitalis-Barron Pharmaceutical killed his mother, but to gain access to their covert research labs, he has to bring them a bloodsucker for their experiments.

Step one, a dramatic offer: Stay, and you can bite me.

Vincent leaps at the chance to gobble Wesley up.

Wes’s plan is perfect. He’ll befriend the vampire, then trick him into coming to the lab. No fighting, no fuss. But Vincent is more than Wesley has bargained for: sweet and shy, with intoxicating fangs that awaken new desires in Wes. As the two bond, Vincent believes he might have finally found someone worth putting his trust in... and Wes fears neither of them will survive the betrayal he has planned.

List of Every Brandon Rogers Characters Ever

I don’t know why I did this. It took 4 hours. I haven’t seen ever Brandon Rogers video (shocking, I know) so some are missing. I purposely didn’t add any parody characters (the Kardashians, Annabell, M3GAN etc), but if you notice any BRCU characters missing, please comment so I can add them.

And obviously the characters not credited are played by Brandon Rogers.

David July is credited as David Burton on this list. I’m not sure when they changed their name, as they are credited as both on Brandon’s videos.

I can’t remember who Debbie and Doyle are but I must of put them on this list for a reason

Cheshire Cat (Bazil)

Flower (Jordan)

No one was credited in this video and most were personal friends of Brandon’s and not content creators so are nearly impossible to find. I had to stalk Brandon’s Insta to find these people.

BTW, Bazil (who plays Cheshire Cat) is a trans man who goes by he/him. Just letting people know because people are misgendering him and I assume it’s because they don’t know his pronouns.

Theatre Class

Linda Starford (Janet McCarroll)

Karen Shou (Karen Fokes)

Jamie (Adam Neylan)

Pure Sound: Water Lily Acoustics Series Volume 1 - Ali Akbar Khan

Pure Sound: Water Lily Acoustics Series Volume 1 – Ali Akbar Khan

There is a record label called Water Lily Acoustics. It is a niche, connoisseur’s label created by a person who can only be described as a mad genius. I am in the process of completing a profile of him for an Indian journal which I will share once it is published. In short, Water Lily Acoustics had a long gestation period…between 15 and 20 years. It was the idea of a restless, spiritually…

Inside’s Ukraine’s Booming Coffee Scene

Historically, Ukraine hasn’t been well known for its specialty coffee consumption. As it’s become one of Europe’s fastest coffee shop growing markets, this could change very soon.

Keep reading to find out more about Ukraine’s history with coffee, how locals are consuming it, and the role that events have to play in increasing education and interest. In addition, baristas, coffee shop owners, and SCA members will share their insights on the industry.

Ukraine & Coffee: A Brief History

It’s said that Ukraine was first introduced to coffee in the late 1600s by the Turkish. Legend has it that Yuriy Kulchitskiy, a spy and linguistics expert captured by the Turkish army, introduced coffee to what was then known as the Austro-Hungarian empire. While imprisoned by the Turks, Yuriy learnt about their coffee drinking traditions. Upon his freedom, he used this knowledge to open a coffee shop in Vienna. However, it would be some time before coffee took off in earnest in Ukraine.

Anna Sokolova, Marketing and Communication Coordinator of SCA Ukraine, explains that while Turkey’s influence may have led to some Turkish style coffee shops opening on Ukraine’s border, coffee still wasn’t popular or easily accessible in most of Ukraine in the early 1900s. In addition, during the Russian revolution when Ukraine joined the Soviet Union, Vladimir Lenin allegedly declared coffee as bourgeois – promoting tea consumption instead.

As a result, coffee fell out of favour for decades, only returning to Ukraine after the USSR collapsed in the eighties, where it joined low-priced soluble coffee on the market. The late nineties introduced the country to espresso and Italian espresso machines, and small coffee shops and trucks started to pop up. However, most could only access lower quality coffee and brew it cup by cup.

Anna says that third wave coffee shops started appearing five years ago, “due to [the] large global interest [in the] culture of coffee consumption as well as [the 2013 creation of] SCA Ukraine, which hosts world coffee events annually”. This growth has continued despite the recent military conflicts in the region. While Anna acknowledges that this “has an enormous effect on everyday life and economy”, she also feels that “people… are driven by the desire to make Ukraine one of the countries with the best coffee consumption culture, so we can be proud of something… in such difficult times.”

The Current Coffee Landscape

Anna points out that when Ukrainian third wave coffee shops started appearing in 2015, it was accompanied by a growth in roasting and domestic and commercial coffee consumption. Contributing to this was the country’s 2014 financial crisis and conflict with Russia. This devalued the local currency (the hryvnia) against the Euro and Dollar, making the import of roast coffee financially unfeasible and encouraging an increase in local roasting.

This increase in roasting also led to an increase in green bean imports. According to a 2020 International Coffee Organization study, Ukraine is currently the eleventh largest importing country in the world in terms of volume.

Currently Kyiv, Dnipro, Lviv and Odessa have the most third wave coffee shops in the country. While there’s room for more growth, those looking to open a coffee shop will need to meet the high standards set by existing ones. “There still seems to be room for everyone, but a requirement for quality and professionalism is high”, Alyona Khmelyk admits. She’s a Green Coffee Buyer and head of Quality Control of Yellow Place Coffee in Kiev.

New coffee shops will encounter other hurdles when offering coffee to the public, as the market still consumes large amounts of instant coffee. For Anna, “One of the challenges is to teach a large number of people to drink the right coffee, which isn’t bitter and doesn’t contain any additives such as sugar or syrup.” However, she shares that coffee events make a difference in how specialty coffee is perceived. “Thanks to this… more people start showing interest in how to consume the right coffee, how to make it at home and the processes involved in delivering coffee from plantation to coffee cup.”

Improving Interest & Consumption

A key to further increasing specialty coffee consumption in Ukraine will be educating the public on what specialty coffee has to offer them – and empowering coffee professionals with the knowledge required to serve it to customers. Anna points out that “educational resources … bring coffee culture to masses. In future… more and more people will thoughtfully consume coffee that they like.”

As part of its educational efforts, SCA Ukraine hosted several events in 2019 which were attended by over 60,000 people. Other independent events were held, such as Blackfest Ukrainian Coffee Show – otherwise known as Blackfest.

Blackfest was one of 2019’s larger events. Targeted at Ukrainan coffee professionals looking to improve their specialty coffee offering, it offered insights on coffee shop management, coffee production, and technology and market trends. The event featured guest speakers from around the world, allowing attendees to connect with Ukrainian roasters like Svit Kavy, Takava Coffee Buffet, Fresh Black Coffee, Blur Coffee, and 3 Champs Roastery. Attendees could also visit cupping tables hosted by Fest Coffee Mission and Nordic Approach, to sample coffees from Central America and Africa that had undergone different types of processing and anaerobic fermentation.

The event was well attended by local and international coffee professionals, including 2014 World Brewers Cup Champion Stefanos Domatiotis. It also hosted Ukraine’s 2019 Barista Championships, which was won by multi-champion Oleksandr Benytsky, and the 2019 Slavic Commander Grind & Brew Cup, which was won by Alexander Rymarovych.

Blackfest was attended by over 4000 people, and next year’s event is likely to draw even more. It’s a positive indication that the Ukrainian specialty coffee scene is helping local professionals better their skills and remain on top of international trends – so they can better serve their customers.

Local Coffee Preferences

When it comes to coffee preferences, local tastes are as diverse as in any other country in the world, but with a few cultural preferences present. Being a newcomer to the specialty coffee scene means that Ukraine has a blank slate. Alyona feels that “[Ukranians] do not have a traditional drink, which could be incorporated into the menu. [Specialty] coffee’s…history isn’t that [extensive]. In a way that’s a good thing, because it helps us change easily and be more innovative.”

According to Christina Ptushko and Olga Shevchenko, Chef Barista and Owner of Central Cafe, in Kharlov, “Coffee culture is still fairly new to Ukraine, as our traditional drink is tea. Coffee started being more popular when people started traveling more and experienced coffee culture in different countries. Specialty coffee is mostly appreciated by a younger audience, by people who travel a lot, [and by people who have had] a chance to experience food and drinks in different settings.”

When it comes to home consumption, brewing coffee using a Turkish Ibrik remains popular. Anna explains that “The historic way of preparing an Ibrik coffee is mixing beans with spices and herbs, and every family has their recipes. The practice survived through generations.” While you might not find this brewing method employed in coffee shops, it’s still used in many Ukrainian homes. Alyona mentions that “Maybe one or two coffee shops have a traditional vibe. However we have a Ukrainian Cezve Champion, Tatiana Tarykina, who is popularising the method.”

In Christina and Olga’s experience, the most popular drink ordered at coffee shops is “cappuccino, because it’s a middle point for everyone and most trendy ones are pour overs, which everyone loves.” However, they also note that people like mixing coffees with juices and syrups to make coffee cocktails. “Orange cappuccinos are very popular, [as well as] a drink called Hornet, which is a cocktail made with espresso, orange juice, and caramel. We don’t have many local drinks that people may recognise, but we have one called Raf, [which is] a coffee-based drink with cream and vanilla sugar”.

It’s likely that coffee consumption and experimentation will increase, provided it remains affordable. Olga and Christina mention, “It’s easier for us to keep the prices attractive since we have many local roasteries that roast very high quality specialty coffee for lower prices because of the labour power costs here.” However, as more coffee shops are established outside of major city centres, this might become a challenge. Anna contends that “[Ukraine] has a disparity in income [between] people in different regions. The main challenge is to make good coffee affordable to every person”.

Ukraine’s specialty coffee consumption is unlikely to taper off anytime soon. However, industry will still need to overcome some challenges to keep growing. As mentioned, specialty coffee education needs to be cultivated amongst professionals and the public – something that events like Blackfest are already making strides with.

Growing the market outside of the country’s major cities could also be the next step. Olga and Christina conclude that “there’s so many tools on the market that you can get to enjoy your favorite cup of coffee in the comfort of your home. (Although) Ukraine still hasn’t gotten out everything (out of coffee) that [it has to] offer, we have room for more awesome coffee shops.”
