#chocolate tastings

I need to tell y'all about hot chocolate.

For most of my life, when I had hot chocolate, I had the Swiss Miss Dark Chocolate flavor. Well Swiss Miss has, for a few years now, been phasing out their dark chocolate flavor, and none of the local Walmarts carry it any longer. I was dependent on someone else buying it from Publix for me or taking me there, which was burdensome, since I also drink it year round.

And so hot chocolate became a sign between me and God. It's what I drank when times got hard and I needed to prove that I still trusted Him: He would provide replacement hot chocolate for me, since I wasn't in a position to do so. So I would drink a cup.

Things have been rough for my family lately. And tonight I got a nudge to go fix myself a cup of hot chocolate. And it got me thinking - about the time I had the very last packet of my Swiss Miss. Last packet, hard times, and I held it up and went "I trust You to provide me more of this."

He didn't. I don't have any way to acquire it. You know what He did? He led me to a recipe for homemade hot chocolate that I could make in giant batches that I actually prefer. I drink it almost every day, because I can, because it's cheap to make and abundant and I like it.

Hot chocolate is not really the promise that it once was - that I trusted Him to provide more - but it is now, instead, a reminder. That He provides abundantly.

Reading BWWM love stories on wattpad be like… I’m about to talk shit under the pic. 🗣️

I’m not gonna out the writer…I’m not gonna drop the title of the story either. As a black female reader who has “If he fine, he fine” energy and wants to enjoy stories of my favorite characters or celebrities who happen to be of different races and ethnicities and have them paired with a black reader or black oc as a romantic interest…

Black women are people and they should be seen as such. We are more than our outside appearance. We are more than breasts, ass, hips, and lips. No, we do not taste like chocolate because we’re not food because why does being attracted to black women have to mean you’re a “chocolate lover”? Also, just because the character or celebrity is a different race does not mean you have to put in the fact that they “never really been into black women” before dating them and then after seeing one that’s conventionally attractive, they believe they’re gonna start to like all of them like we’re an experiment or something. This goes for any writer of any race that wants to write for an interracial pairing, just be careful how you word describing people from your own culture or another’s. It was a bit romantic in the first half but, damn! Please write black people like we have personalities, feelings, and substance.

Ya’ll can agree or disagree, I’m gonna say what I’m gonna say.

Terra and Edgar eating ice cream at the park

Back in November 2020 I was pandemic-stressed and election-stressed. During lockdown I filled a sketchbook with edgar x terra and also tried to teach myself Japanese. These comics come from that period. I loved returning to my comfort ship, and thinking up stories for them and drawing them happy and together. (Even though Edgar probably returned home a sticky mess 🍦

The final panel, it is the onomatopoeia in Japanese that translates to “plop”. As in, “plop, now there’s ice cream on your lap!” Being in love sometimes means putting up with these things

I always wanted to redraw the second half of the story. You can see it’s done with pen and paper and looks less polished than my usual stuff. But who knows if I’ll ever get around to it.

Anyway tonight I am once again election-stressed and am looking for cute, for sweet, for safe. And that is ffvi and edotina for me 🥰

You ever eat or drink something so deluxe that it feels like there's no reason to have it other than your raging food/weight gain fetish

OH OH OH OH OH

THE NECTAR

ITS A HONEY POT!!!!!!!

I keep wracking my brain as to what benefit would be gained by spiking a large group of people with the devil’s nectar. Its effect doesn’t make a person more persuadable, it makes them more persuasive. If it were a player character’s consumable, it’d provide an advantage to deception/persuasion or something.

What’s unique about this substance is that, if consumed excessively, the user can become so good at deception that they believe their own lies.

What sort of strategy would benefit from a large group of people believing their own lies? Campaigners with free samples.

Hey, we’re offering food truck food outside the school! Just say you’ll vote for KLCK and eat as much as you want!

Hey! Welcome to our Moonar Yulenear camp/festival! We’ve got all sort of amenities, please enjoy the winter blessed to us by Galachaea herself! Technically we’re here as a church thing, but we’re not stuffy about it and we take all kinds. Just go with it, praise Galachaea and all that, and enjoy the hot chocolate in our religious echo chamber!

It’s a honey pot. It’s a trap. They’re turning free samples against us.
