[uh-mxtx]

The presence of Potatoes in MDZS implies that some ballsy cultivator took a flying sword over the pacific to South America and brought them back and I would like to pose the idea that that particular potato loving dumbass was Wei Wuxian’s ancestor

(Edit: AND CHILIES!)

(EDIT 2: also watermelon except thats from africa. For reference, irl it’s Song dynasty for watermelon and Qing dynasty for potatoes and chilies)

filipinos (specifically filams) who claim they're PI without actually having any other PI heritage need to fucking touch grass you don't see indonesian or malay or taiwanese ppl pull this shit what fucking brain rot infested u guys. every time i see one of u cunts say "i dont feel asian enough to be considered asian 😔😔😔" you always list cultural and aesthetic traits that are present in south asia and asean but not east asia like tattoos, seafaring, having clothes more suited to a tropical climate, and brown features like bigger eyes, dark skin, body hair. the amount of times i've seen ppl say "but we look closer to PI ppl than Actual Asians(tm)". you're just fucking racist, to both asians and PI!

Who at Nsr like coffee? Who likes tea? And most importantly who likes hot chocolate?

Usual big list of names and likes. Putting it under a cut

Mayday: She prefers teas, but will sometimes drink hot chocolate made with water and not milk.

Zuke: Tries to stick with either tea or black coffee. He stays away from added sugars so his blood sugar doesn't rise.

DJSS: Hot chocolate, hands down. He hates tea and only coffee he consumes is coffee flavored sweets (you can't stop this guy from eating coffee macarons).

Sayu: Any really work. Sweet teas, very sweet coffee, hot chocolate. It's all nice to mer, as long as it isn't bitter, which is why ze will pass on trying coffee if ze doesn't know how it was made.

Aoi: Probably a black coffee drinker. Maybe some like almond or soy milk in it because he likes the taste better than cow milk.

Haru: Probably cold hot chocolate (which sea says is different from chocolate milk).

Yua: Iced coffee or bubble tea.

Renho: Tea.

Remi: Tea, but will drink cocoa made with water if Mayday makes some for him.

Tila: Tea with honey.

Dodo: Doesn't really like any of those, would rather lemonade. Maybe would like sweet tea if introduced to it.

Sofa: Coffee, any kind of way but will not drink it with a milk substitute. Soy milk is gross to them and almond milk or any other kind of tree nut milk can kill them.

Yinu: Hot cocoa with either hazelnut milk or vanilla almond milk. She's not allowed to drink coffee and even if she was she probably wouldn't like it. Will drink tea occasionally.

Mama: Prefers tea but will drink coffee to help stay up.

Papa: Coffee and hot chocolate. Used to drink a lot of Champurrado until Yinu came into his life and couldn't drink milk. He never realized there were vegan/lactose-free versions of the drink otherwise he'd have made it for Yinu a lot.

Neon: Before being a cyborg, his go to would be coffee. He actually would make a soju infused coffee for him and Martha a lot of the time. Though after the divorce he stopped with the coffee and just drank the soju alone (or whatever kinds of alcohol he'd have on hand). After the cyborgification he doesn't drink any of those. He just drinks/eats nutritious smoothies or shakes. Even if they taste awful, it doesn't matter because he can't taste anymore.

Rin: Probably would like a salted caramel coffee over anything else. Though it probably doesn't care for any of those to have on a regular basis. Water is just fine for it.

Purl-hew: Coffee. Absolutely, hands down, Purl is in it for coffee. Literally one of the easiest ways to start getting close to Purl is to get them coffee. And if you make it an alcoholic coffee? Even better.

Zimelu: She probably doesn't care, as long as it tastes good. So like, a good coffee will be picked over a bad cocoa, and vice versa. I would say out of the three, tea would be the least drank, but if offered or she goes to a place with good teas then she'll definitely drink it.

Haym: He likes MAKING the drinks more than drinking them. He does not like tea at all because a lot of the time it isn't as strong as he would want it to be. Cocoa is something he'll drink, but overall coffee would be his go to choice. Though let me tell you, once he figures out about spicy hot cocoa, he'll be making that all the time for at least a month until he gets sick of it.

Eloni: No preference. As long as it's warm, so no iced coffee or sweet teas for them.

Dew: Probably an iced coffee kind of person. Or cold drinks in general. For some reason, even though he was hurt by the cold, he prefers his food and drinks to be very cold.

Maragold: Fruity teas!

Carna: Fae is stealing sips of coffee from everyone and then complaining because it sucks, only to go and take more sips. Otherwise, faes drinking lemonades.

Eve: Coffee and tea depending on the time of day and what she wants to accomplish. Will try the water cocoa Mayday makes but doesn't really like it. Will go out for coffee art or try to make her own.

Tatiana: She tends to just drink water or maybe an energy drink like gatorade (not an energy drink for the energy, idk what gatorades are classified as), but she is known to indulge in hot cocoa from time to time. Also maybe some tea if it's offered, but she doesn't go out of her way to drink it.

Kliff: I definitely see him as a coffee enjoyer. He gets some cheap ass coffee beans and makes his own shitty coffee that he seems to really enjoy a lot.

DK West: He mainly drinks tea but will also drink coffee. Hasn't had cocoa in years, but would be willing to have it again.

Cyril: Oh this bitch is living off of coffee. The only time he drinks tea is when he is sick or he thinks he has to rest his voice, then it's just some soothing tea with honey that he chokes down unhappily.

Noa: The cook of Ex-Jay, he's the one who is making the good coffee or tea for everyone, otherwise these idiots would be buying the worst beans or shitty leaves and making horrible tasting drinks they would pour down the drain. But, Noa is making himself some coconut-infused hot cocoa and eating it with some potato crisps

Asa: Will steal some hot cocoa from Noa if available, otherwise buys black coffee to drink.

Rei: Tea drinker. Usually sticking to black tea. Him and Bunny kinda do the Chinese tea ceremony where they dump their tea on tea pets.

Bunny: Tea and coffee drinker. Likes doing the tea ceremony where she dumps tea on tea pets (of course she has a bunny pet) and she got Rei to start joining her. She tries all kinds of teas and loves trying new leaves to steep.

Elivy: Drinks mainly tea now, but was a heavy coffee drinker when he was younger.

Quida: Similar to Elivy, she used to drink a lot of coffee when younger. She still drinks coffee regularly, but has actually started drinking more hot cocoa, especially with her grand kid.

Joust: Black coffee. He used to add milk or cream but now he just drinks it straight. Sometimes he adds a bit of alcohol, but mainly it's just him drinking really crappy coffee.

Martha: Coffee. Cream and sugar in hers.

Aria: She doesn't drink any of those drinks. Sometimes she will try to drink tea for the health benefits but just doesn't like it that much. Though she hasn't tried all kinds of teas and I think she would like fruity teas or milk teas.

Esther: Coffee, though she will never turn down some good cocoa.

Braam: Coffee, and he will turn down cocoa. Well okay, he'll take it but just so he can give it to Esther so she had more cocoa. Though once Catherine came around he started giving it to her which made Esther pout and leading him to buy her more cocoa.

Alyona: Coffee mainly, but she used to make this really nice hot cocoa with a kind of toffee sauce that Matvey and Tatiana loved.

Matvey: Coffee with some coffee liqueur is what he goes for. He doesn't drink tea at all and hasn't had hot cocoa since Alyona passed.

Sarabi: She's a tea drinker, but will also have coffee with some neighbors, especially the beans are from one of the local businesses that she loves.

Nuru: Drinks coffee but also drinks soup broth. Like, he will have a thermos around him just holding some of the most delicious and rich soup broth ever and will drink that a lot of the time. Much to Nova's horror whenever he thinks he is about to take a sip of some water or something.

Celine: Probably a split between tea and coffee. Like Eve, it depends on what she is trying to do or the time.

Barbara: A mix of all three. Whatever she is in the mood for. If she had to choose one then a sweet or fruity tea is what she's picking.

Joey: Coffee. Black coffee probably. But it would be some high quality coffee that he says doesn't need any kind of milk or sugar.

Yiruk: I feel like it drinks way too much coffee then it should be. It will also drink a lot of hot cocoa, especially at a really good cafe.

Kayane: Tea drinker, all kinds of teas, hot or cold. But will also drink an iced coffee.

OVERRATED! : Disney World Restaurants

[duckymcdoorknob]

Little baby drabble to celebrate my sleep-deprived self eating cold chicken nuggets with Chic-fil-a Polynesian sauce eXACTLY like this at 3am

The muted sound of air hissing wakes you from your sleep. Well, it wasn’t only the air; you did have to go pee too. You blink a few times, rubbing your eyes to try and center yourself, wondering if it was just a hallucination. That’s when you hear it again…. And again… and again…

Best to go investigate. Was it a ghost? An appliance? Did you leave the faucet on?

Nope.

When you step outside your bedroom door, the sound got clearer, growing more and more loud until you had reached the kitchen.

There, you saw the faint light of the refrigerator and a figure hunched over it. You were about to jump on their case until you hear the sound again, followed by a hum of approval.

You step closer and closer, bleary eyes and barely conscious. When you reach the foot of the fridge, you realize that the silhouette was none other than your beloved boyfriend.

“Babe, iz 2 in the mornin’,” you slur, causing your beloved to tense. “Why’re you ‘wake?”

He turns around to reveal exactly what he was doing, and a mouthful of what you had just heard. He smiles (well, as much as one can smile with a mouthful of food), plucking a strawberry from its container and shaking the can of whipped cream. “Strbebby?” he asks, voice greatly contorted.

You close your eyes as a smile creeps onto your lips. “I’d love a ‘strbebby’,” you tease, grabbing the fruit from his fingertips.

He swallows and laughs a bit as you take a bite. “Open,” he demands and you obey. He sprays a small amount of whipped cream in your mouth, quickly doing the same for himself.

You both swallow the the food in your mouths, laughing with little exhales through the nose. He pulls you in for a gentle kiss. “Tastes sweet…” he murmurs.

shells for witchcraft

Abalone Shells

Abundance, peace, and compassion

Abalone shells are very colorful, and the insides are coated with the same material that make up pearls, nacre.  These colors are said to be incorporating all the colors of the sea and sky.  In addition, the iridescent colors promote a feeling of abundance, peace, and compassion.  In addition, the colors can represent the upper chakras, the Abalone shell is useful for developing psychic powers.  Since Abalone shells have also been a food source for thousands of years, Abalone shells represent the giving power of the Ocean.

Abalone shells can also be made into jewelry and amulets, and not only will they promote abundance, peace, and compassion, but they will also impart a calming, spiritual vibration to help the wearer through emotional difficulties.  In addition, Abalone shells have also been historically sacred in Polynesian and Native American cultures, especially as a vessel for sage while smudging.

Scallop Shells

Travel and spiritual quests

Symbol of Venus and Water

Scallop shells are distinguished from other shells by the multiple rays and ridges, which all converge at a single point near the base.  To early humans, this likely symbolized the sun's rays converging on the horizon at sunrise or sunset.  Because of this, Scallop shells are a good symbol of Venus, also known as the Morning Star or Evening Star.  Later, to medieval Christians, the Scallop represented the path of pilgrims to holy sites.

Continuing, Scallop shells had a sacred meaning in Christian Europe from as early as the first pilgrims.  The pilgrims, although mostly illiterate, were able to be guided to the pilgrimage sites with the Scallop symbol.  In addition, the Scallop is a symbol of the Saint James the Apostle, and the symbol of the Scallop can be found through countless Christian altars and cathedrals.  Because of the association with pilgrimage, the Scallop is a symbol for those who have undertaken a spiritual quest.

In addition, the Scallop shell is often depicted as the seat or carriage of ocean deities in art.  For example, in art Poseidon often rides upon one, and Aphrodite is seen rising up from the sea in a Scallop shell.  In addition, Scallops are often on Pagan altars to symbolize ocean deities and the element water.  Because of this, Scallops are often used as a chalice, offering bowl, or vessel for love magick.

Nautilus Shells

Renewal, growth, and rebirth

The Nautilus travels hundreds of miles in the currents of the sea, and can be considered the nomad of the sea.  In fact, the fitting name means "sailor" in Greek.  More importantly though, the Nautilus shell is an important symbol of mathematics and sacred geometry because of the logarithmic pattern in its spiral.

This shape is because unlike other shell creatures, rather than shedding its shell and finding a larger one, the Nautilus increases the size of the shell.  The Nautilus shell grows to create a larger chamber for the body as it grows.  Because of this, the Nautilus shell is a good symbol of growth, renewal, and rebirth.  Additionally, the outwards spiral trend of the Nautilus suggests that it can continue growing indefinitely.  Meditate with a Nautilus shell or use it in your magick for spiritual growth and expansion.

Auger Shells

Protection and aggression

Auger shells are distinguished by its shape, which is an elongated spiral that has an opening at the base and a point at the tip.  In the language of shells, the Auger is considered to be both masculine and feminine energetically, therefore representing completeness.  There are hundreds of varieties of Auger shells all around the world as well.

In addition, Auger shells come from a type of predatory sea snail, and the aggression of the animal is implied by its narrowly focused shape.  Auger shells have a venomous tooth as well, making it a good shell to use in hexes and curses.  In magick, Auger shells are one of the only shells that are associated with the planet Mars.  Other uses for Auger shells are for headdresses, magick wands, and protective charms.

Cowrie Shells

Fertility, luxury, and wealth

The Cowrie shell is characterized by its yellow or white color and egg-shape, with two rows of teeth along a gap in the center of the shell.  Cowrie shells are admired for their natural polish, which symbolizes refinement and luxury.  In fact, the Italian word for Cowrie is porcellana ("little pig"), which the word porcelain is derived from.  Because of its shape and polish, Cowrie shells have been used as currency, decoration, and religious items in nearly every part of the world.

In addition, because of its shape, the Cowrie shell symbolizes the vulva.  Therefore, the Cowrie shell is often used in charms regarding wealth and fertility.  Cowrie shells can also be strung onto necklaces or sewn into garments.  Additional uses for Cowrie shells include divination.  There are many different systems of divination with Cowrie shells, mostly stemming from African and Afro-Caribbean cultures and traditions.

Conch Shells

Awakening and mermaid connections

Conch shells have been symbolically used by cultures around the world since ancient civilizations.  The conch (or Shankha) is used by Tiben Buddhists as a way to call people to worship, and the conch shell is also seen in the hand of the Hindu god, Vishnu.  In addition, the sound of blowing through a conch is similar to the sound of AUM (the sound of the universe), which has an awakening effect (similar to chanting OM).

In addition, the conch shell is often shown in the hands of mermaids, which makes the conch shell a good tool for connecting to mermaid energy and mermaid spirits.  Similarly, blowing through the conch shell can be used as a tool for summoning mermaid (and other ocean creatures) spirits.  Meditating with the conch shell can be a way to get in touch with the ocean and ocean spirits, since you can hear the ocean in the conch shell.

Disney Adult| FizzOzzie Poly x reader (and separate)

my sorry ass have been looking at Disney World stuff and as a Disney Adult I’m surprised I haven’t made this before! pronouns: They/Them/Theirs

Key words:

(y/n)-Your Name

(l/n)-Last Name

(POLY FIZZOZZIE )

They don’t really care of what you’re into, as long you don’t be stupid or harassing imps/demons they don’t care. They will in fact have a whiplash of Disney merchandise you own at your home with the Minnie/Mickey ears and clothes, PJs, and cups! They will be shitty boyfriends if they shit all over your interest while you don’t. If you’re going to Disney World/Land, you’re their guide! Teach them about Genie Plus, teach them about the Disney World app, cuz they’re helpless without your Disney eyes! Also, let them pick their magic bands there so much designs and their brains cannot handle it! Also, quick thing, give fizz a kid leash. You’ll be walking around in Animal Kingdom with Ozzie planning what he wants to eat, then POOF Fizz somehow learned to park hop and is now at Magic Kingdom at Peter Pans Flight!

💙OZZIE/ASMODEUS💙

Ozzie believes that Disney can be dark, for example Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Black Caldron, and basically he’s more into the Disney Renaissance than the present day movies at the Disney franchise. He will not be surprised when he comes over to your home and you hand him over Disney PJs, he doesn’t care about how much Disney merchandise your house can handle, as long you’re not blowing off all your money for a Disney figure ‘cuz you still need to pay bills and rent! But! When you ask what he wants at Disney World, he asked “coffee” as a joke, but when you came back from your trip and before you clock in “here ya go, Asmodeus!” You said as you held up the bag with the word Joffrey’s printed on it “I wasn’t so sure what you wanted so I kinda just guessed!” He tilted his head to the side as you place the bag on his desk, he opened the bag and see two bags of coffee grounds one is a flavorful coffee ground and the other is just plan coffee grounds “I wasn’t expecting you to get me this” he grabbed a bag and analyzing it “do you not want it?” “No! I want it, I really do need some coffee grounds, I just never thought that Disney have these type of things” “well, it’s a huge company! Of course they’re gonna have coffee!” “That’s fair” he placed the bag down and bring up the flavor on, it’s was obviously bought at the Polynesian resort exclusive. “Thank you, (y/n)”

When you finally convinced him to go with you while being part of the Disney Vacation Club, you have to treat him by bringing him to Food and Wine festival. He’s quite interested by the new wine they give out every year than the food. Keep an eye on him, we don’t know his drink tolerance is, he might get drunk at Epcot!

💚FIZZAROLLI💙

Fizzarolli is a guy to be like “haha! Imagine liking a company for babies” just deal with it, he’s gonna be a prick about your hyper fixations, but he’s doing it for jokes and will let you know about that. He only watches whatever is on TV, if you and him are chilling in your home. Just stream something on Disney Plus, then he’ll watch it with you. Here’s my advice: Have a Disney Marathon and he’ll won’t even notice! I’m kidding he will once it’s 1am and you’re watching Tangled, then he’ll be like “Old Disney is better” then he’ll leave the room. If you’re watching more present Disney movie, he’ll yell it from the hallway “Old Disney is better!” He may be your boyfriend, but he’s such a bad influence on you, when Ozzie is good with money and help you with your impulsive spendings, Fizz encourages you to buy that. You will send him a picture of a new Disney pin collection through text “oh look how cute they are!” “Get it” “fizz, I have rent that is due” “idc, get the pins” “you don’t even know the characters!” “I know the blue fur ball!” “Don’t call stitch a fur ball” “why did you send me this anyways!?” “….the pins will be here on Tuesday next week” “knew it” Disney World will be an episode and a half, homie will be in a different park quicker before you say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious so please give him a kid leash before he does it again, but convincing him took so long! You have to show him some videos, nothing too intimidating since he’s a Disney Virgin, just simplify your vacation visit, but not for clothing wear, the Greed Ring is hot, and you two will be sweating allot, which means chafing! Biker shorts are your whore! Treat him with any festival and he’ll be happy! If it’s the Food and Wine, he’ll will eat any food or drink any wine, but let’s be happy that you brought him!
