winters first snow

[ ID: three digital landscape paintings of various plants covered in snow. the first painting shows a bush with sprawling limbs reaching up into the gray sky in front of a mass of orange grass, with dark grey trees in the background. the bush has some yellow and green leaves which are falling off of its branches. both the orange grass and the green grass in front of the bush are partially covered by snow. the second painting shows a gray tree behind the same orange grass with a dusting of snow on its branches. behind the tree is green foliage. the third painting shows an aborvitae bush covered in snow and with snow at its exposed base, which is drawn mostly in shadow. behind the bush is a blue background with tree branches. /END ID]

@tinyfieryghost ⧐ Ghost gives Alastor a Aborvitae! LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS.

Unchanging Friendship.

Such an adorable display of optimistic simplicity. Alastor has his qualms about giving his connections such a prominent label, but really, he does not have the heart to refute it.

He'll tuck this one somewhere among his books.

Well, I haven't drawn anything in a while and my lovely twin gave me the idea of personified flowers.

First up on the list is Aborvitae. Pretty sure it's a kind of tree, but when I googled "aborvitae flowers", they showed up- and then I used an image for the shirt.

In floriography, Aborvitae means "unchanging friendship".

Show your friends you love them with these friendship plants (according to Wikipedia) this Valentine’s!

Experiment in formulation

For the upcoming winter holiday I wanted to create blends using local flavors but also incorporate some of the more traditional resins that I recently acquired. Considering the winter solstice celebrates both the longest night and the Sun’s return to the north I thought it appropriate to have two separate recipes. These blends are primarly (for pleasure) aesthetic driven and will be used for holiday celebrations.

Solstice Incense (part 2)

Victorious Sun: unusual for me, I focused this blend on mostly foreign ingredients. To honor the Sun returning north, unconquered by the growing nights, I wanted to stay heavy on the solar influence but keep some reminders of winter. Since blend will be resin heavy I decided to keep it loose but implement some light binders to have a granola style loose blend (my favorite).

From my newly acquired resins I wanted to highlight Copal Oro which I think embodies a winter’s sun nicely. Cool and fresh like snow, sweet and bright with touches of citrus and pine. It powdered a little more than I wanted it to but that’s fine. And of course I had to include Frankincense, the brighter counterpart to myrrh in the longest night blend. It gives the blend a sweet resinous solar scent.

Orange peel is the main player in this blend offering nice bright citrus top notes that were at first over powered by the warming woody cinnamon that was added so I had to increase the proportion of orange. I was wondering why I didn’t just buy powdered cinnamon instead of whole sticks but then was happy to have some different texture to give the burn some complexity (the larger pieces will burn slower). A bit of powdered clove was added to the mix for some more winter spice and solar influence. I had to include a little arborvitae leaf for it being the tree of life and its cedar qualities but in a small amount because of the thujone it contains.

Before mixing the “herb” blend with the resins I did a test burn and thought the blend could benefit from another winter touch so I experimented burning it with a bit of white pine wood it rounded off the mid/base note with a nice coniferous woody touch. I was happy so that got included as well. The resins were mixed in and I gave the mix one last test before adding the the binder and liquid. I was happy the orange made it through, the resins buffer the heat nicely (and the binder will help even more). The scent resolves from citrus into a warm woody spice. It ends a bit charred but that is expected.

A small amount of guar gum lends assistance to honey dissolved in water to hold the blend together. These were gradually added until the desired the granola/brown sugar texture formed. This lets the powdered ingredients mingle and clump together. I then added some yellow birch bark cut up into small pieces for a golden decorative addition. The blend then gets dried before burning again and put away for further curing.

Test batch recipe*:

4 tsp frankincense, 1 tbs copal oro, 3 tbs orange peel, 1.5 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp aborvitae leaf, .5 tsp clove, 1 tsp white pine wood (material ground but in varying consistencies), 1/4 tsp guar gum, 3/4 tsp honey in 4 tsps water

*this made quite a lot for just a test formula so in the future I hope to remeber to make less of my test blends.

Test burn

After drying, I placed a small amount of the mix on a piece of aluminum and put that on the hot woodstove. This is a heating method to experience the aroma before combustion. A warning citrus spice is realsed from the mix very subtlety. As it sits longer, the resinous sweet spice of frankincense and copal start to show through. Both cinnamon and orange peel are great enjoyed this way, the gentle heat really lets them shine. On the hot charcoal, the bright orange citrus hits as a quick top note that succumbs to a smokey cinnamon wood aroma. The resins cut through the smokiness and adds their own spice and sweetness ending the blend with their heavy base notes. In the future I think this recipe could benefit from a bit more honey and even maybe more of the pine wood. But I am happy with this warming spicy solar blend.

Hey I was wondering if you have anything new on Possessive Derek??

heck yes we do! here we go - Jeep

“There,” Derek said, his voice almost defiant. “Now you can stay.”

“But--” Stiles began hesitantly, and Derek interrupted him.

“I know you, Stiles. If you go home, you’ll fall asleep and you won’t come back.”

“Sometimes sleep is good, y’know!” Stiles told him, eyeing the t-shirt warily. “Once upon a time, I actually got it on a regular basis.”

“Pff,” Derek rolled his eyes as if he knew with utmost certainty that Stiles would always pick sex over sleep in a heartbeat. “Just put the fucking t-shirt on and stay, Stiles. You know I hate my bed without you in it.”

Both Stiles and Derek begin their journey into adulthood as dragons and find each other along the way.

"The Beast is said to live in the burnt-out husk of the Hale house." Lydia's tone is low and ominous, eyes alight with glee at the frightened glances she was getting from the others. "It's big, bigger than a body builder and faster then human eyes can track." Stiles feels a shiver rattle down his spine at the image her whispered words create. Her gaze pauses on him for a moment, as if sensing how unsettled her tale is making him.

"Not even the Enforcers can kill it, it has no weaknesses." She sits back, nonchalantly fiddling with her flashlight for a moment. "And it has a taste for human flesh, people have been going missing ever since it just...showed up." She seemed entranced by her own narrative, staring at the softly crackling bonfire with vacant eyes. "No one who's went snooping around the Hale house has ever returned, they're just...gone."

When Stiles comes home with news, things don't exactly go as planned.

Aborvitae

Does your muse have a friend that they’d stay beside to the gritty end for and their friend for them? Did they ever have one that they thought they would but in the end they didn’t?

“No - on both accounts. I let one person in - not intentionally, and gods know I did everything to prevent it, but it happened - and they’re gone, because of choices that I made. Friends are a luxury I can ill afford. I have business associates and acquaintances. Beyond that - I have my lance, that’s all I need.”

Thanks @luck-and-larceny!

“A hot spring, Jaskier? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Jaskier rolled his eyes up to look at Geralt sardonically and the witcher huffed a laugh. “I take it you don’t want me to join you.”

“You would be right,” Jaskier mumbled darkly.

“Well too bad.”

“Ian,” he finally forces out. There’s a silence. Mickey can’t really breathe through it and god, he wishes he could see Ian right now, have some fucking idea what he’s thinking. He thinks he hears a very quiet exhale, soft static, and Ian goes, “Oh,” in a broken rush of breath, and “Milkovich.”

Then Mickey laughs a little, can’t help it, and it’s not the good kind. It’s nervous and he shakes with it, and he’s suddenly so glad Ian can’t see him running shaking fingers through his hair.

'This is ridiculous, it’s just a telephone call,' Mickey thinks. 'Fucking get yourself together.'
