#Sweet Alchemy

Behold my masterpiece

[sophieinwonderland]

Korean dramas on Netflix that have clear cases of plurality (that we've encountered so far): Alchemy of Souls - It's baked into the plot and fate of one of the two main characters. It is spiritual based, but it exhibits all the hallmarks of DID, and the show takes the time to delve into what it can be like to regain memories lost to amnesia, even though that's not the point of the story. It's really cool. Sweet Home - Like Alchemy of Souls, it takes until the last season to fully play out. But unlike Alchemy of Souls, it does involve voluntary final fusion that's presented in a reasonably positive light. Which was not at all recommended by anyone outside the system; they came to the solution themselves to overcome their particular adversity. The plurality is pretty subtle until it really super isn't, but it's satisfying and really cool, too. Both shows involve a lot of blood, but more so for Sweet Home. And Sweet Home has some seriously creative monster designs that are deeply horrifying (and very satisfying if that's your thing - as it is ours). So, CN for those things, at least.

Alchemy of Souls is high fantasy. Sweet Home is post apocalyptic horror.

Sounds awesome! Great finds! 👍😁

WIP Wednesday!! 💛

I have an on time WIP this week, and not one posted three days late! And I'm even posting this in the morning, as opposed to some point in the afternoon/evening! 😅

Here is a snippet from the next chapter of The Perfect Storm, where the Idiots Who Are Totally Not Pining™️ have a quiet, early morning moment together. It's also Elyse's birthday, but he doesn't know that... yet.

Tagged by @hircines-hunter, tagging @thequeenofthewinter, @skyrim-forever, and anyone who wants to share a WIP 💛

It was a rare occasion that Balgruuf would see Elyse up and about so early in the morning in Dragonsreach. He had noted that she would often sleep in until later in the morning, but it wasn't common at all for her to be awake before the sun had barely just started to rise.

She was sat over a mug of tea at one of the long tables near to his throne, silently eating what he could only presume was a partially stale muffin from the day before, no doubt grabbed by her whenever she got there because the kitchen staff were barely just awake themselves. She looked tired, as though she didn’t really want to be awake at that time but was forcing herself to be. If that were the case… it was certainly a sentiment which he shared. He slept so lightly as of late it took almost nothing to wake him up, the sound of a guard on patrol in the vicinity of his room rousing him from sleep that morning, and the knowledge of a packed agenda which made him get up and move.

Perhaps he really should begin considering what he had been told time and time again about a door for his room.

Silently, he made his way into the kitchens and picked himself up the last of the muffins from the day before which were still set out, knowing it would still be some time before anything substantial would be available to eat – likely about the time in which his children would be up and about. He then returned to the main hall, and took a seat beside Elyse.

“You’re awake early.”

A quiet mumble which affirmed his statement came from the Dragonborn, accompanied by the sound of her stifling a yawn with the back of her hand. “Unfortunately…” She then straightened her back and stretched her arms out before her, before letting her hands fall down onto the table before her and moving her hand slightly towards the pot near her half-empty mug. “Help yourself to some of the tea if you want any.”

“I’d have to get myself a mug, but if you’re offering…” He stood back up for a moment as he went into the kitchen, only realising just now that his mouth didn’t half feel dry. When he returned, he poured himself some of the tea and went to take a sip.

He was completely taken aback by the sickening sweetness of honey which took over his tastebuds, though had to do his best not to spit it out so as to not come across as rude because she hadn’t needed to offer him any in the first place. Her fondness for anything sugary that he had experienced at the festival at the end of last year appeared to have not been a one-off occasion.

“By the Divines, that is sweet-“ He winced for a moment as he waited for the taste in his mouth to subside. “Perhaps a bit too sweet for my liking, so apologies. You can drink this?”

Elyse chuckled quietly to herself. “I don’t normally have it this sweet… but added some extra honey as a treat for today.”

“And you added the honey directly to the pot? Not to the tea once you poured it?”

“Balgruuf. I’m half asleep. Do you really think that I’m thinking clearly at this point in the morning?”

This scene in Happiness is just like this one in Alchemy of Souls!

Yi-hyun & Mu-deok saying, "Don't come close to me I am a legitimate danger"

Sae-bom & Jang Uk being like, "No, what you really need right now is hugs."

The beautiful insanity!

There isn’t a single one on TTPD!! Idc if it’s good ass throwing music, I agree! Shake your ass! But it is a RUSE and it is NOT a glitter gel pen song I stg !!

we say goodbye to another old reliable dress today that I just do not wear enough anymore, so here's the farewell flatlay for the vinted listing

I've been wearing and loving this punyus dress for about 10 years (?!) now and I used to totally deck it out w like, polly pocket necklaces and kandi bracelets and massive moonboots and space themed sparkly and metallic fabrics...

I think this coord shows how much my daily style has diverged from that. I feel really comparatively understated compared to my alien girl aesthetic back when I had green hair. maybe I got old and boring (lol)

[elisxxbeth]

Might get into Queen of Tears but I doubt it'll make me feel like kdramas are "soo back" - they aren't (no shade to QoT I'm speaking generally) Honestly previous korean dramas used to be a ride like hello??? we got penthouse, mouse, flower of evil, alchemy of souls and other masterpieces. Them dramas of today WILL NEVER sit at the same table i fear!
