#coffee preparation

What he says:

THE "NOTHING" IN QUESTION:

He made this for Rook? Based on their favourite drink? I think maybe I'd rather fight the gods than this recipe. That sounds like so much work.

"It's nothing. Or not enough."

Oh, you precious, sweet dummy, you're getting married, and you don't even know it yet.

spent ages preparing to audition for a role I really really wanted and it's looking like (still unconfirmed) they might not even be holding auditions at all but have just given it to someone directly

which, meh, that sucks but that's the industry!

I'm just like now what? I spent a lot of my free time the last few months prepping and I genuinely don't know what to do with myself now!

modern au iroh, try as he might, cannot get his nephew into tea. this is because coffee exists and you know the fridge at home is filled with canned coffee that zuko drinks way too much of. he always has it black until he discovers he can mix in cayenne pepper into it. Everyone Hated That (except zuko).

much to iroh's distress, his niece likes coffee too. azula pretends she likes it black because it makes her seem more adult but in actuality it's too bitter for her. then she learns about the existence of Cold Brews and there's no going back from that. she is considerably more reasonable about her coffee consumption.

ty lee, yue, and sokka are fancy latte buddies. mai also drinks her coffee black (like her soul) but if you think she's going to set foot into a starbucks, she's going to kill you. independent coffee shops or bust. aang, toph, suki and katara prefer tea. they are officially iroh's favorite children.

(zuko will still drink his uncle's tea if he makes it. he was there for him a lot when he was recovering in the hospital. he guesses he can put up with his hot leaf juice.)

wednesday & thursday, december 4th&5th 🎓☕️

Got the form to apply for my final exams in spring! I’m pretty confident regarding my subject choices, except for the 5th. It’ll either be history or religion, I don’t know that yet; need to speak to both teachers.

Other than that I started the last study session for this term! Tomorrow morning is my last exam and then I’m done for this year :D (except for my term paper, but let’s ignore that for now). Not a minute after taking that picture I almost spilled coffee onto my iPad…Anyways- I’m fine with the grade I got on my math exam but quite pissed about the grade on my bio exam (it’s literally the same grade lmao). I have to work on these subjects, there’s no way around; I know I can do this.

Rest of my evening will be spent reviewing my history notes and trying to rest; I’m feeling a bit…weird?

Lock!! does ur big wrinkly brain have any neuvillette thoughts

yan neuvillette... it'd really be something.

he isn't cruel, deceptive, or forcefully restrictive. you'll walk away from interactions feeling like something's off, without being able to identify what. the quiet intensity of his gaze, perhaps? he looks at you like you hold the key to all the universe's mysteries. there's this expectation that neither you nor him fully understand.

he's just as perplexed by his behavior as you are, if not more so. from the onset, he rightfully predicts that nothing good will come from this. he values fairness and recognizes the immense gap in your positions. there's so much he could do, so much he could get away with, and his fascination with the infinite possibilities initially disturbs him. this mild revulsion never fully disappears, serving as a minor checks and balance for himself.

neuvillette isn't delusional. when he realizes there's no staunching this interest, he decides to take a practical approach by drafting his own code of conduct. he reasons that these 'rules', while dubious, provide a framework that's preferable to the draconic urge to possess you in your entirety.

the reoccurring tenet centers around doing you no 'unnecessary harm.' naturally, this is subject to his interpretation. your definition and his don't often overlap. he isn't deaf to your objections, though, in fact, he encourages them. he'd much prefer you spell out your thinking than leave him in the dark. if you make a compelling enough case, he'll relent. these minor victories mostly consist of you absolving innocent friends from his judgment.

you'll come to find out why your occasional run-ins left a lasting impression on you. it's because each second, behind that composed façade, he was weighing your fate on a scale that favored his interests over yours.

Prompt:

Calvin Rose finds a catatonic teenager roaming the streets and… well, the poor kid looks dead on his feet, and it’s raining cats and dogs, he can’t just leave him there.

And, it’s fine. He’s just passing through (can’t risk more with the Court still at large) and will be back on the road come morning. And he’ll sleep easier knowing he kept the kid from certain death.

So, really, how the hell did he end up with the very same kid riding shotgun and nagging him to turn up the radio to Phoebe Bridgers?

Growing up, I heard modern phrases like "love the sin, hate the sinner" and "modest is hottest" quoted in Christian circles way more than I ever heard them quote the words of Jesus. It made me realize that maybe it was never really about Jesus' love to them. Maybe it was about control

if tai is guarding the crown of choice i'm not even expecting him to fight cinder or anything, quite the opposite; this is the same man who said that instead of tackling an obstacle by going through it, why not find a way around it:

"but if you just take a second look, then maybe you see... ("perhaps there was something that you just weren't seeing?" - maria) there's a way around as well. come on—one more before dinner."

like at this point he might as well go "are you hungry? i'm already making dinner so would you want to eat something?" he keeps cooking for multiple people even tho no one else is at home bc he's so used to it and now he's just like please somebody eat this food. like he knows who cinder is but by gods will he play dumb just so he has some company other than zwei for dinner.

(and cinder gets to eat a home-cooked meal for probably the first time in her life. i need this to happen okay, hunger is her thing, let her eat!!)

Got out of work early 🥳 so I headed one of my favorite local cafes to work on my PowerPoint presentation, an overview of ANCA-associated vasculitides. It ended up going pretty well even though I was nervous. Looking forward to having the whole weekend off!

coffee & christmas decorations❄️

Got pretty much nothing done that I had on my to-do list. Mainly because people kept asking for my help with stuff; I set up our new coffee machine (it’s awesome) and started decorating our flat for Christmas.

I spent the last hour researching job openings for librarians and found some really interesting ones. Sadly one of the jobs near me has the deadline set for tomorrow so I won’t be able to apply :( but maybe I’ll hand in my application for the job at the german parliament in berlin. That’s at the other end of the country but the opening sounds so cool!!

Now: working on my term paper (I feel like the things I’m writing don’t match my topic even remotely…)
