#elderflower experiences

[elderflowerprince]

putting what i learnt in first semester programming class to "good" "use" by making some little buttons to count stats in my spreadsheet of ocs. clearly the most practical class i've ever taken

(still can't believe the final exam was on paper)

[elderflowerprince]

me when my university had a class on ableism and one of those involved an online lecture video about deaf/hard of hearing people

which

had no subtitles

MAN I HAVE AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDER AND THEIR AUDIO QUALITY WAS SHIT. IT TOOK ME SO MUCH REWINDING OF THE VIDEO TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE SAYING GHFHFHFFJGHFD I WASTED HOURS THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED IF THEY HAD JUST POSTED THEIR SCRIPT FOR THE VIDEO OR EVEN ALLOWED AUTO SUBTITLES

"contract grading" "only 4 absences or you drop to an F" "in this class we will be teaching about disabilities. attendance is mandatory and i do not accept late work" "please respond to at least two of your peers in this discussion post" "people with autism need time to decompress in a classroom environment. your class is four hours long with a 7 minute break." "we like to let students learn the way THEY want to learn. please buy our 150 dollar textbook."

Emmrich Volkarin x Tobias Rook (SFW, pre-relationship, perceived one-sided pining) 491 words

-------------------------------------------------

It's quiet in the Lighthouse as Rook pads out into the shared living space on bare and silent feet, anxious dreams stirring them from sleep and spurring them to seek out some of their resident necromancer's homemade tea mixes to calm them. It began as a somewhat spiteful gesture to partake in. They and Solas sharing an accidental connection to one another, it had been amusing forcing Solas to experience things they were doing the ancient elf would have hated. But it's become something else now. A kind of ritual, grounding and soothing in a way Rook's not often known before.

Emmrich prepares the teas with care, the same attention to detail and thoughtfulness he brings to all things. There are teas tailored to each of his companion's various tastes, and several to specific needs or circumstances. A citrus blend for Lucanis, a floral one for Neve, An Elfroot and Lotus for healing from various cuts and poisons, an Elderflower and Crystal Grace for headache and inflammation... Were he not so entirely fascinated and committed to the dead, Emmrich might have made a more than decent run with an apothecary.

It's always better when they can share a kettle, of course, talking about his latest theories or their shared companions' latest antics. Rook can't seem to help but gravitate towards him, and, they realize, as they catch sight of a slumped form snoring softly on a nearby couch, book loosely clasped in one hand that dangles off the sofa, tonight seems to be no different.

Rook smiles fondly, changing course, crossing the room and gently taking the book before it falls from Emmrich's hand, marking the place and setting it down on the table beside them, before turning back to watch him for a moment. He looks so serene in sleep. Not that the necromancer cannot be in waking hours, but Rook isn't bold enough to make such a study of him then, too scared he'll notice, and they'll have made things awkward, or even untenable between them. They’re loathe to wake him, but surely if he sleeps out here all night his body will voice its complaints about it tomorrow. With utmost care the elf decides their course of action, grabbing and draping a blanket from the back of the sofa over him, before swiftly sliding their arms beneath the older man and lifting him up into their arms.

“Good morning,” Emmrich greets Rook cheerfully the following morning. “Ah, Manfred,” the necromancer smiles, beckoning for his skeletal assistant. “You know how much I appreciate you. Time got away from me last night, I’m afraid, but next time you may wake me. You needn’t trouble yourself carrying me to bed. I can’t imagine what a labor that must have been for you. ” Manfred looks puzzled, as much as one without muscles or skin is capable of doing so, at least, while Tobias smiles softly from behind their cup of tea.

[elderflowerprince]

oh no yeah this is true. i had amnesia either directly from a seizure or from hitting my head during the seizure once. it was awful talking to my friends afterwards because

your voice is familiar, but who are you again?

i know we love each other, but i can't remember why.

i have a folder full of screenshots of us chatting together, and that's my name in them, to be sure, but i don't feel like i was there.

parts of you are still in my head. i love you so much. the proof of the time we spent together is right there. but i just can't remember it.

there's only enough residue to recognise you. none of the memories themselves are left.

The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

[mushroomgay]

I spent a lot of last week processing bags of elderflower, which absolutely cover the area I live.

Flowers were boiled in a strong sugar solution and then sealed in sterilised jars for the syrup - this will be shelf stable for a couple of years.

For the infused gin, flowers were soaked in gin for 48 hours then bottled in the clean jars - the alcohol will be enough to kill off any bugs.

I used a combination of sun-drying and my airfryer to dehydrate the flowers (these will be used for cough remedies in the winter) - there was no noticeable difference between the two methods.

I've also got some elderflower champagne fermenting, which is my first experiment in brewing alcohol. I've already had to discard one bottle which got contaminated (visible mould), but the other two look good and should be ready to be drunk in a few days!

Where’s your favourite place in England? Or to be more specific, do you have a favourite wild place and a favourite town/ city?

My favourite places in England are my hometown here in West Yorkshire, and liverpool.

I grew up pretty rurally near the moors in Halifax, and I think it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen.

There was a cherry blossom tree across the road, and in summer I could stick my head out of the skylight in my attic room and have cherry blossom petals swirl past me like a Van Gogh painting.

I could go foraging in the woods, and pet the horses in the field on the way.

I’d take my sister with me and we’d pick elderflower to make syrup, and put it in fancy tea I brought back from uni and have little tea parties in my mothers garden tbat was full of wildflowers, and a huuuge butterfly bush that smelled incredible, but if the butterfly bush didn’t overwhelm you, you could always smell the honeysuckle from the neighbours garden.

It is a village full of old winding Roman roads, and fields as far as the eye can see. In the summer it just bursts with colour, and in the winter it’s like a postcard of what Christmas should look like.

I think it’s the most beautiful place on earth.

I went to university in liverpool, and just absolutely fell in love with the city. People rag on it a lot, and like any place there are bad parts of it, but I loved how vibrant it was.

There was always somewhere new to go, and the places I went often, like the Walker art gallery, never lost their shine. I spent most of my days just wandering about, or sat in a coffee shop people watching. It was the most freedom I’ve ever felt, and it really opened my mind to new possibilities outside my rather narrow experience of the world so far.

I spent five years there and was always discovering something new in liverpool, and I just adored it.

I’d love to hear what other peoples fave places are!

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #296

Git yer boots on; we goin' on a drive to check out all the colorful autumn leaves! And then we gonna get tasty snacks at an unexpectedly delightful place!! And then we gonna go home! Let's go!!!

...As before, I got rid of the sound; I doubt you wanna hear the random chatter between J and I. Pop on a playlist. Get cozy. Watch it on 2x or 4x speed if you wanna; it doesn't matter. The trees are aflame in riotous shades of color, and I wanted to make sure ya didn't miss it!!

(You might guess from the dramatic improvement in my mental state today that my attempt to sleep normally was successful. Yay!)

At the end of this, we found a spot to get a snack. A place called Dan's Diner. J thought it was somewhat auspicious, since it has the same name as his departed brother. It was a neat place, and we found some awesome stuff!! Behold!!

Look!!! I found various weird jellies!!

...I even got a couple!!

In case you can't read the cursive (I struggle with reading cursive...), these are Daylilly Blossom Jelly and Elderflower Vanilla Jelly. I haven't tried them yet, but given your enjoyment of roses and vanilla, I have a feeling that these might just be right up your alley! I'll find out soon, I promise!

Here's some more pictures!

Look!!!! Pumpkin pancakes!!! With cream cheese icing!!! You like pumpkin, right? It's good in more stuff than just soup!! I like pumpkin!! So this is what I got!

There was also this:

FRESH!!! SQUEEZED!!! LEMONADE!!! It's one of my favorite things ever!!!! And... they didn't have any rose syrup, but they did have lavender syrup, and so I got that one!! I think you would have loved it!!

...And J got a few pictures, too!

Here were some pictures he took of birds-of-prey flying over the little diner:

...And here were the snacks we got!!! These were by far the most scrumptious pancakes I've EVER eaten:

...I think you would have loved them.

...And J got a burger...

...And then we went home!

Here are a few pictures of some birds of prey that I got along the way:

...I wanted to show you the things. I wanted to show you because I started writing to you during the winter of last year, and... you've seen winter, spring, and summer where I live, but you've not really had a good look at autumn yet, and so I wanted to make sure I recorded it for you so that you'd know what it's like. I want you to look at it. I want you to understand.

I want you to see that the world, despite all its pain and problems, is good. I want you to see the beautiful things. I want you to remember that there are things worth fighting for. Things worth preserving. Things worth doing the difficult work for, so that you can rise up into living and experience them. Sephiroth... you're not done yet. You haven't tried all the things yet. You haven't even gotten to experience most of the things you dreamed of as a boy.

All of those things you wanted... I want to share them with you. I want to experience them together with you. There are LOTS of people in my world who want to experience and do wholesome, delightful things together with you. I know you have a lot of years of being led to believe that the way you were born and raised means you're "forever alone" or something weird and stupid like that, but it's not true!!! It's not!!! It isn't!!! Not even a little bit!!!

You are here to love and to be loved!! And that is true of ALL living things, regardless of how they came into being!!

So question the narrative you've been fed and wake up!! Wake up and come home!! Can't you hear me calling your name? You have so many people who love you, and we're all waiting for you!! We will keep singing you little lullabies and finding wonderful things to show you until you come back, okay? Please don't keep us waiting for too much longer, all right? Please come home. It doesn't matter if you come home a little sad and dented and scraped up and hungry and tired and sore. Just come home. We love you and we miss you, and you will always have a place here to belong, no matter what.

That's all I've got for you for today. It's already late, and I still gotta shower and I gotta get to bed on time because I gotta wake up earlyish for work tomorrow, and then after that, I'm gonna do SO MUCH MORE STUFF that I'm gonna try to get pictures of, just for you. Okay?

So please stay safe out there so that tomorrow you can see it. Please.

I love you so much, and I'm gonna write again real soon. Count on it!

Your friend, Lumine

[elderflowerprince]

this isn't me trying to comment on anyone else's story or perspective or circumstances, it's just my own venting

my medication is killing me. it's ruining me.

i used to have no trouble walking up a hill after flights and flights of stairs, with a backpack of ten kilograms on my back and an extra couple kilos in a separate bag, every day. i also used to have seizures every morning. so much spilt tea. so many broken plates. so many bruises.

after a while, my doctor finally told me she would put me on new medication. that'll make three kinds at once, but the other two alone aren't working. the new one, it's only just out of the trial stage, they know it works for a lot of people but they're not sure of all the side effects yet. it seems safe, though. that's fine. that's fine. いいですよ、なんでも。i can't keep doing this anyway. i hate sitting around for hours every morning, waiting for the twitching and jerking to stop, unable to even have a conversation because my thoughts are lost to the void of a seizure every few seconds.

now i can sleep a full eight hours at night. now i don't have to wake up a few hours early every morning just to make sure i don't have any accidents trying to get myself ready for the day. now i'm blurry and dizzy and stumbly all the time. now i can barely walk straight. now i can't climb a single flight of stairs without getting so out of breath it hurts. i'm no longer exhausted for a lack of sleep, but i am just as impaired anyway, in a permanent haze of inability to focus. worse, you used to be able to tell with the twitching of my arms when i'd lost my train of thought. these days, i look like an idiot for forgetting what i was doing, or rude for not paying attention to you. i feel hot and cold and like i'm going to throw up half the time. i feel distant. i feel like it's all falling apart and i could not tell you why.

i can't go back. epilepsy was killing me too. you can't really take days off in this country, and tonic-clonic seizures are incapacitating in that sense--i can't move right for about a day or two for the muscle pain, every time. and i can't convey how awkward it is to constantly look like you're throwing things and poking or punching people, unable to explain that it's an uncontrollable arm spasm, when you're around anyone who doesn't know what "juvenile myoclonic epilepsy" is... and why would they know? that's such a specific condition, it just got highlighted by my spellchecker as a misspelling of "cyclonic".

i can't go back off medication, because it would kill me from stress or suffocation or maybe i'd hit my head or drown. but this is killing me in a different way too. just, probably, slower.

“do you really wanna be on medication for the rest of your life” if you knew me unmedicated you’d want me to be on medication for the rest of my life too
