Just finished watching Legion

I put off watching the final few episodes after one of them shook me up a bit with the fate of one of them characters. The ending was actually so perfect, though. It’s so rare to see a great show nail the landing. It’s one of the best if not THE best superhero/villain(in this case) shows I’ve ever seen. It’s ridiculously creative and experimental.

Now, I just want to go back to episode one and start it over again.

“This is a conversation about time.” “A delusion starts like any other idea.” A human or a butterfly?! In all probability, she's flirting with me. 🤔🤨💯

“What about the culture, the heritage?!”

Refusal across the board. That's three times you refused.

... song because to be really honest, we were sick of it.

“Prove it.” 😅🤣😂😉🥰😍😘😎💯

What’s the last thing you remember? I remember trees, and … dancing?

Ailsa's not-closest-friend, but not-hated-enemy is from one of the business families throughout Barllony. As first-born of their family, the business would fall to her, but she had little interest in oil and perfume. With a few well-yanked strings and a fierce passion for the royal family, Ailsa's not-enemy landed in training for the Order of Sol, where Ailsa met her.

It's odd for amber stones to be in the same location, especially for children born in different order of birth, but not uncommon. For Ailsa, it was just another reminder that she was about as much use as a knight. So if she could be a better knight, that'd be worth something, wouldn't it?

But it never quite fit. She was never quite good at it. Ailsa's faith to the Sun was unwavering, but every time her father gifted the Rays in the yearly ceremony, or performed the proper rites. She felt the disconnect to his role weigh on her.

Woke up at 2am to ask the DM what he thought about burning amber to their bodies as a sort of catechism-esque religious ceremony in the culture Ailsa comes from which worships the sun. And his response in the morning was "What the..." Which I get. I know my only worldbuilding strength is esoteric industry and its affects on culture. But that's so sick omg. When you turn 12, every child has an amber stone pressed to their ffkn body symbolizing their relationship to the sun? Then you have a whole industry around 'good amber' and rich people having lighter colors, and the texture of the stone represents industry or quality. And people with overlapping locations are thought to be close as siblings- sooo much to unpack there.

Also can we just think about an amber-themed Sun worshipping jihad for a minute? Rotating in my mind like a ball of fire. DM I'm begging u the implications it's only 7am

Debut Book Rec: Fortune's Kiss by Amber Clement

Fortune's Kiss is a young adult debut novel by Northwest Indiana author Amber Clement. The captivating story, heavy in Mexican influences, unapologetically leaves readers holding their breath at every deadly twist and turn.

Publisher's summary:

Are you willing to risk everything for a chance to be kissed by fortune? Drink and let your soul be measured. The legendary Fortune’s Kiss has returned to Ciudad Milagro for the first time in ten years. The magical gambling house shows up twice a year in a new city during the solstices to lure those worthy enough to wager their souls for wealth, the realization of their greatest desires, and even immortality. Known by many names throughout the years, it returns to Milagro as El Beso de la Fortuna . . . and the game is Lotería. And best friends Mayté Robles and Lorena (Lo) de León are determined to change their lives, escape the dangerous men who threaten them, and gain riches. Mayté, the sole daughter of the disgraced Robles family, wishes to leave her family and become a successful painter, while Lo suffers at the hands of her powerful and abusive father and seeks to find her mother, who escaped to Fortune’s Kiss years ago but never returned. When Fortune’s Kiss finally returns to their city, the pair follow on their childhood blood pact to enter the gaming salon. But once inside, Mayté and Lo quickly realize that beneath the marvelous glamour, the salon is hiding dangerous secrets and the house always wins. And the game of Lotería is not the children’s game they grew up playing—it is a deadly lottery of chance.

As of this post Fortune's Kiss not officially out yet - but we already have a couple copies on order, so you can place your hold here and be first in line when it hits our shelves.

1308 – Day 4 – Praaven Castle

Robert has been Sir Silas’ page for a year now, and at this point, he has managed to settle in. He even likes some of the work and lessons. Even the fighting is more fun than he anticipated. Working on the farm has given him strength enough, if not exactly finesse.

Which does not mean that he doesn’t feel stupid when the men-at-arms shake their heads at his difficulty with reading and writing or lack of expertise in etiquette. Part of him wants to fail, just to spite them, but his mother is hoping for so much for him. He can’t bear to disappoint her.

One day, towards the end of the year, Sir Silas tells him that he will be accompanying him to meet the Lady of the castle. He stares at him in bewilderment.

“But you said it would be uncourteous to the Countess to take me there!”

“So I did, and so I believed. But Lady Petersmarch has asked me to take you along.”

“She wants to see me?”

Sir Silas lifts a brow. “Do I need to repeat myself, lad? Make yourself ready.”

And so he does, fear and confusion quickly turning into annoyance at the feelings. He has no desire to be belittled by some high-and-mighty noble lady, as he has been by so many of the servants who know, of course, that he is the bastard of their former employer. He follows Sir Silas up the tall stone stairs to the entrance of the castle and comes upon one of the loveliest women he has ever laid eyes on. He had seen the Countess before, but never this close.

She is dressed in a silk gown of darkest blue – blue and gold being the Dudley family’s colours – and a long veil that covers most of her strawberry-blond hair. Her big, amber eyes seek him out immediately, or at least that is his impression before he bows deeply, as Sir Silas has instructed him.

“My lady.”

“You may rise, young page. So, Sir Silas, this is the boy that's been serving you?”

“It is, my lady. Robert Townsend.”

“You do look remarkably alike to my late husband, Robert. But I’m sure enough people have told you that already. You come from one of the farms outside the city, is that so?”

He struggles to keep his composure but manages to nod. “Yes, my lady. We live near Tovar.”

“We?”

“My parents, my siblings and I.”

“Ah. Well, I hope you’ve settled in well. Now then, Sir Silas, about your report.”

Unbeknownst to the all of them, they are being watched. Three curious heads peak over the railing of an upstairs gallery, the high, echoing walls making it easy to catch what is being said below. Two of the children have the same red-gold hair as the Countess, while the eldest’s hair is pitch black.

Ralph Dudley Jr., eleventh Earl of Petersmarch, turns to his siblings and motions them to follow him into a nearby bedroom, so their conversation won’t be overheard.

“So that’s our brother”, Elizabeth says.

“He’s not our brother, stupid”, Clement interjects immediately. “He’s just father’s bastard.”

Elizabeth raises a brow, in a manner very similar to her mother. “I believe a sibling is customarily someone with whom one shares at least one parent, brother.”

“Yes, but bastards don’t count.”

Ralph clears his throat. “He is a bastard that is currently training to be a knight, though, so we can’t exactly ignore that he’s here. Although mother has done a good job of doing so in the past year. I wonder what’s changed.”

“Doesn’t Your Lordship have all the information he could ever want?”, Clement teases, but his elder brother only rolls his eyes.

“I’ll take the reins soon enough, you’ll see.”

“We should introduce herself, now that he’s here”, Elizabeth puts in, to end the quarrel before it can start. She doesn’t have time for her brothers’ useless squabbles. “I at least am curious to meet him. A peasant brother, can you imagine!”

“Yes, let’s”, Ralph agrees. “Who knows, maybe he’ll prove useful to have around.”

So down the stairs they go. They don’t sneak – Ralph doesn’t feel he has to sneak, he is the Earl and this is his castle, after all – and peer around the corner. Their mother and Sir Silas have moved on into the banquet room to have their discussion, but their half-brother is standing near the door, trying to be subtle in gawking at the rich interior. Ralph assumes he has never been in a place like this. He has grown up in some peasant hut, after all, and the guard hall is rather sparse.

“Pssst”, he hisses, and motions the boy over when that catches his attention. Robert looks towards the Countess and Sir Silas briefly, sees that they are deep in conversation, and sneaks over into the side room the three noble children retreat into.

And then they stare at each other, before the peasant boy bows stiffly.

“Lord Petersmarch, I presume?”

“You presume correctly”, Ralph answers, with just as much dignity. “And these are my sister Lady Elizabeth and my brother Clement.”

“It is a pleasure to meet you”, Elizabeth says kindly. Clement just nods, though more in greeting than to echo his sister’s sentiment. “We were so curious to meet you! It seemed strange to have another child of our father’s living so close yet never to interact with them.”

“We would have sooner, but our duties have kept us away”, Ralph, who doesn’t want to admit that he has bowed to his mother’s wishes on the matter, adds a little pompously. “But we couldn’t let the opportunity pass by now that you’re here.”

“Is it true that you grew up on a farm?”, Elizabeth asks immediately, not especially tactfully, but she is only nine years old.

Robert stiffens, but nods. “It is. I’ve lived there with my parents until Sir Silas kindly took me on as his page.”

“With you parents?”, Ralph asks, with his emphasise on the s.

“My mother and her husband. The man that raised me.”

Clement scoffs, but Elizabeth smiles kindly. “I’m sure it would be hard not to see your mother’s husband as a father. I’m sure it must be nice to…to still have one. I at least miss our father a lot.”

They talk some more, but it remains awkward, and gets more so when the Countess and Sir Silas walk into their hideout, having obviously noticed that Robert has gone missing. Both look disapproving, so Ralph quickly puffs out his chest and looks square at them.

“We were curious to talk to Sir Silas’ protegee, Mother, and it didn’t seem like he was involved in your conversation, so we didn’t think it would do any harm to steal him away.”

“Did you, now?” She studies all of them. “As an Earl you should know that it isn’t right to interrupt other peoples talks by ferreting away participants, Ralph. And any good page stays until he is dismissed.”

Robert swallows with an effort. “I beg your pardon, Lady Petersmarch, Sir Silas. I fear I wasn’t certain whether a summons from my liege overrides my duty to my knight.”

Sir Silas chuckles, and quickly hides it in a cough when the Countess shoots him a disapproving glance. She then turns to Robert. “A valid point, I confess. Still, stealing away is never a sign of a good conscience, is it?”

He just lowers his head at that, although, it must be said, mostly to hide his face.

“But it was interesting to get to know him, Mother”, Lady Elizabeth interjects.

“I’m sure it was, my dear. And I’m sure there’ll be other opportunities, seeing as he’ll stay on here for the time being.”

Robert doesn’t know whether to take this as an invitation or a challenge.

Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely

Nose: Laurent le Guernec and Clement Gavarry

notes: lavender, martini, bergamot, mandarin, rosewood; patchouli, orchid, narcissus; musk, woodsy notes, cedar, amber

Lovely opens with bug-spray-sharp, abstractly floral “perfuminess”, exactly like a cheap body spray I doused myself in as a tween. I like it. It’s graceful, airy, uncompromisingly astringent. A little like witch hazel extract. An ethereal sprite perfume.

short-lived (4-5 hours) and very simple. stays light and floaty throughout.

Happy National Rum Day!

It's August 16th,which is National Rum Day. So instead of posting recipes,I'm going to just talk a little about rum.

First some basics. There are two main branches of rum;rum and rhum agricole. Rum is made from sugar cane that has been processed into molasses,while agricole is made directly from sugar cane that has been pressed. If you see the word 'rhum' with an H,it's usually agricole,but not always. Sometimes they add the H to be fancy or for tradition. Agricole tends to have a super funky 'grassy' taste that is much stronger than regular rum. It's not to everyone's liking,but I do like it in certain cocktails. There are also rums that are made from things like sugar beets,but they all pretty much suck. Stick to cane rum/rhum and you won't go wrong. After this,there are numerous sub-categories. The thing is,some rums blur the lines between the categories,and some categories are kinda made up,so I'm just going to do a basic run down instead of dragging you down a rabbit hole.

White rum,also called light rum or silver rum,can be clear(which requires filtering) or have just a bit of goldish tint. It's light tasting and in Tiki drinks is usually mixed with other spirits or several ingredients. It works well in daiquiris. My preferred light rums are Bacardi Superior(my Kraft MacNCheese rum),Plantation 3 Star,and Probitas.

Gold rum,sometimes called amber rum,is a gold or amber color. It splits the difference between light and dark rums in terms of how heavy the flavor and funk are. I like Bacardi Reserva Ocho and Gran Reserva Diez,which are their 8 and 10yr aged rums.

Dark rum is the most commonly used in Tiki drinks,and can go from a dark amber to brown to almost black. It's got a lot of flavor and can have some serious funk. My favs are Appleton Signature/8yr/12yr,Plantation Original Dark,English Harbor,and Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. I'm also a fan of Coruba,which many people consider a black rum.

Black rum is not really a category of rum,it's sort of a created term for really dark rum. It's heavy and funky and generally mixed instead of sipped. As I like funky rums,I am a fan. While I consider Coruba to be a dark rum,many consider it to be a black rum. I'm also a fan of Hamilton Pot Still Black,which is my go-to black rum. I'm also a fan of Cruzan Black Strap,which is a very molasses forward rum that many consider to be its own category.

Spiced rum,as the name suggests,has spices in it for extra flavoring. It can be light,gold,dark,or black. I'm a fan of Sugar Island(sadly no longer made) and Siesta Key. I also like Kraken Dark Label,which has a vanilla profile that mixes well with soda(I like it,but have never used it in a cocktail).

Demerara rum is only made in Guyana,although there are some rums called Demerara that are blended. The best way to describe it is that it is to rum what stout is to beer. Thick and funky with some sweetness. I'm a big fan of Lemon Hart Original and 151(my go-to 151),as well as Pussers Gunpowder.

Navy rum is 114 proof rum. It had to be this proof so that if the casks leaked,it wouldn't ruin the gunpowder it was stored with. I like Pussers,Hamilton Navy Grog Blend,and Smith & Cross.

Overproof rums are pretty much anything stronger than Navy rum. My favs are Hamilton Beachbum Zombie Blend,Wray & Nephew,and Plantation OFTD. And of course Lemon Hart 151.

There are also flavored rums,which can be any kind of rum with flavors added. I like Shipwreck and Siesta Key coconut,and Plantation Stiggins pineapple.

Finally,for agricole I like Duquesne Rhum Blanc for light,Rhum Barbancourt 8yr for dark,and Clement Rhum Vieux VSOP for gold.

Well,that's enough of a text wall,I think I pretty much covered all you really need to know. Stick with my suggestions,and you won't go wrong.

Cheers!
