It's almost Sinsmas: a time for peace, quiet and warm feelings.

So as a gift, here's a taste of one of my infusions, enough for two teacups.

I carefully selected this one for you, I hope you'll enjoy it 🩷

Merry Sinsmas and happy Yuletide!

Pink Sunset:

Green tea with guava, mango, tropical fruits, beetroot pieces that give a distinctive pink color.

The Cherub's tail wiggles at the delicious surprise. Keenie wasn't expecting a present from Crystal Infusions. She gave the dry teabag a light sniff and turns on her electric kettle. As the water boiled she pondered if maybe she should send over some Sugar Buzzed sweets to Cassandra. Keenie had never visited her tea shop, but she always planned to in the back of her mind. She has only heard positive reviews about the shop, and the owner was clearly an open and welcoming Demon.

The kettle bubbles and beeps to declare that it was finished. The lamb eagerly grabs a mug and a milk carton from the fridge. Pouring each ingredient into the cup she hummed one of the old songs she used to sing with the choir during this time of the year. Thinking back over the time she spent in Hell, Keenie had to admit that her life was very close to perfect. Especially when it is filled with thoughtful Demons like Cassandra, Striker and even old Susan.

After giving the mug a gentle blow, she takes a soft sip form the mug. In an instant the tang of the mango coated her tongue and the speed of her wiggly tail nearly doubled gleefully.

Eyeing the infusion, Satan's curiosity got the better of him. But just before he could lay a finger on the cup, his devoted personal assistant chimed in.

"Your Wrathfulness, shouldn't we call the royal taster?"

The Sin shrugged. "It's only a cup. Besides, if someone did poison me, they'd prove that they're a massive pussy-bitch who can't fight in honorable combat and you'd hunt them down like the wretched vermin they are, right?"

Assistant Steve sighed. "Of course, sire... And your funeral procession would have the cowardly assassin in chains, dragged behind your casket so that the mourners can throw things at them..."

"Good man," Satan praised before taking a sip.

"...Ooh!" he remarked, eagerly drinking more. "It's spicy!"

"Well, if Your Wrathfulness approves of this gift, should we send them something back?"

"It's the right thing to do," Satan nodded sagely.

Going back to this thing briefly

When adapting this chapter into an episode Toei did not explain nor demonstrate to us what the fuck that spike was (instead they gave us Sables #378545), so we're no closer to finding out what kinda new moves Crocodile might have up his sleeve, whether that really was a Haki-infused sand spike or what

But when I was checking the melting point of sand out of curiosity (to figure out if Crocodile has a fighting chance against Akainu, which in theory he does because Akainu isn't hot enough to melt sand (in theory)), I was reminded of the fact that sand is mostly made of silica

Or, in other words, quartz. Sand is, on average, made of crystal. Of course, sand is also made of other things and other minerals (not just quartz), but if we wanted to assume Croc's DF is made of one element and one element alone, then let's just assume it's 100% silica, right

And now I can't help but to wonder now though

Could Crocodile have learned a new technique where he somehow compresses and hardens his sand so much it can turn into large, solid crystals? Or more specifically, sharp pointy stabby weapons to murder people with? 'Cause. How fucking cool would that be

Also considdering how much Crocodile likes his bling, being able to form crystals to murder people with would arguably be on-brand for him

Duedephelon slowly twirled his head back around and looked down at the cane. He trailed the topper with the talon and tried as best he could to recall details.

"Lapis lazuli topper and cane shod, sturdier than it should be. Possibly enchanted for that purpose. but I do not remember. Silvered handle on the seam on both ends where the sword lays. Bronze tip of the cane and setting for the topper. Meant for added weight. Weight meant to allow the cane to also be used as a weapon when a blade would be inappropriate." He pauses. "I know all the details of this... and now I recall that I made it but..."

He shakes his head, "No, I still do not have any memory of actually doing so. The fact is only what remains."

"Oh?"

Cassandra paused the gentle motion of her hand, her brow furrowing in quiet curiosity as she watched his sudden shift.

She straightened slightly, her eyes meeting his with steady calm despite the intensity in his gaze.

“Well, I'm glad you do. Something important, perhaps?”

She asked softly, her voice laced with genuine interest and encouragement. She didn’t push further, instead giving him the space to collect his thoughts.

“Sometimes, when the mind finds stillness, clarity follows. Take your time...what is it you remember?”

Her tone remained soothing, her presence grounding, ready to listen if he chose to share.

[lady-zephyrine]

Wanted to try and gather my thoughts regarding the four types of Matter. I know it's messy, and I know there are a few spelling mistakes but I'm too lazy to fix them at the moment.

There is a bit more that I wanted to share regarding Matter in general, but I think this is enough for the time being.

One Last Kiss:

Ceylon black tea, pineapple, papaya, grapes, rose petals, cornflower petals.

There is genuine surprise igniting the brilliant red of his eyes as Stolas looks over the note and the gift that accompanies it. How convenient that he has recently finished the cup of tea on his desk and had yet to refill it. Now, he indulges in one cup of the infusion, sighing softly with its delightful aroma. With a delighted chirp, he pens a note of thanks to be sent back, sealed with his sigil and the promise of paying the shop a visit.

Cassandra, How very generous of you to provide me with a sample of what I must say, is one of the most exquisite blends I have come to possess! Your kindness does not go unnoticed, and I will have to pay your humble shop a visit. You may make a regular of me yet! You have my gratitude, and I am honored to have received something so personal. Merry Sinsmas and Happy Yuletide! Your Newest Customer, Prince Stolas of the Ars Goetia

[baphomet-slumber-queen]

A soft sleepy sigh escapes the Sin, her eyes fluttering close for a few seconds before slowly looking back to Cassandra. "My apologies dear. I was unaware of your official paperwork. I should have a word with my secretary. You have my blessing to have your business continue to run in the Pride Ring. I hope you are able to bring a moment of peace and calm to the unhinged Sinners up there. I've..seen what destruction they can cause and I weep for their anger and spite getting the best of them."

Cassandra's heart skipped a beat as she listened to the Queen, but she maintained her composure. With a respectful nod, she gestured to the small satchel she carried.

"Your Majesty," she began, her tone steady but reverent, "I have taken every precaution to ensure my shop operates within the laws of Hell. While the original permits are safely kept at my shop in Pride, I can show you the emails I received from both the Sloth Bureau and the Pride Bureau confirming their approval."

She opened the satchel and retrieved a sleek tablet, pulling up the correspondence with practiced ease.

"Here," she said, presenting the screen to the Queen, "is the documentation of the process. As you may know, King Lucifer is not always present to oversee such matters personally. His secretaries manage the documents and inform him of anything requiring his signature. Once he agrees, they use an official approval stamp on his behalf."

Cassandra offered a small, polite smile, her wings folding neatly behind her.

"It was a long and, admittedly, nerve-wracking wait, but I made sure to follow the proper channels. My shop is in full compliance with the regulations of both Rings."

Her tone softened slightly as she added.

"And to clarify,I am not a medic or a nurse and I do not sell medicines or anything resembling them. I do not offer healing services, I simply sell tea—blends crafted to bring comfort and peace. My shop is a sanctuary, Your Majesty, a humble space for those seeking a moment of calm in the chaos of Pride."

She lowered the tablet slightly, her gaze sincere.

"I hope this reassures you, Your Majesty. I hold the laws and traditions of Hell in the highest regard and would never act outside of them."

This has nothing to do with writing. That said, if you vibe with me as a person and not just as a writer, you might appreciate the spellwork I do. It's a new blog I started so my witch doesn't combine with my writing 😁😂

That said, I like to show my magic process so head on over if you're spiritual/witchy like me 🥰
