Adventure.

That was always the point, after all. I never had much luck as a treasure hunter though. Not the kind like Nathan Drake or Charlie Cutter anyway and, believe me, I tried. I spent more than a few fruitless years digging around old tombs and following ancient maps while searching for mythical lost cities but I never had more to show for it than scrapes, bruises, and an empty wallet. After a less-than-brief stint behind bars in Cambodia when a job went south, I knew something had to change. With a little bit of coin I had squirreled away and a sizable loan from one Gabriel Roman, I found myself behind an entirely different type of bar, the kind that serves food and drink.

Over the years, I've mixed drinks for thieves with hearts of gold, conmen with silver tongues, criminals as bold as brass, and far more that have tested my mettle. I've listened as they've told fantastic tales of traveling around the world, uncovering ancient mysteries, and risking life and limb for a little fortune and glory. The recipes that you're about to read are my tributes to those tales of adventure, romance, and danger, and to those who told them. They're a way for me to immerse myself in those escapades, preserve those stories, and pass along those experiences to others in the best way I know how.

Each recipe seeks to capture the essence of a person, a place, a moment, or a priceless treasure. They all include specific instructions, ingredients with recommendations, and a little relevant history. I hope that the foods and drinks you find here teach you something, take you to places you've never been, and lead you to unforgettable adventures of your own.

As always, Sic Parvis Magna.

Pitch for a HBO adaptation of “Uncharted” (you know, in case the movie franchise gets shelved and the execs want another Naughty Dog franchise after the success of “The Last of Us”):

1) Showrunner: Jonathan E. Steinberg (co-creator of Black Sails)

2) Brett Dalton as Nathan Drake

3) Teresa Palmer as Elena Fisher

4) Stephen Lang as Victor Sullivan (I know he did the live-action short, but he’s legitimately who I feel would be best in the role)

5) Pedro Pascal as Atoq Navarro

6) Mark Strong as Gabriel Roman

7) Bill Hader as Sam Drake (cameo appearance in season 1 in order to set the show up for the 4th game/season)

8) 9 episodes, same as “The Last of Us”

That’s just the start of your troubles in the treasure hunting world, Elena.

I’m a good enough reporter to follow a couple of no-luck tomb robbers!

Forced myself to draw other characters

[unchartedperils]

The Nathan Drake and Lara Croft crossover has long been a fantasy dream of us Uncharted and Tomb Raider fans. And of course I had to too get into the game.

Hence Lara in her Original form from the 90s (1-Angels of Darkness) going into the adventure for El Dorado in Uncharted 1: Drake’s Fortune. But it’s not just a crossover, it’s an AU-Fix It with Nadine Ross being retconned into the first game as an upcoming mercenary and hired gun of crime lord Gabriel Roman. Can Nate beat both the additional hired women and their mobster employer to the treasure? And what dark secret does it hold?

Contains kidnapping, non consensual bondage, groping, spanking, implied rape, degradation, and humiliation. Also contains strong language, violent action, blood and gore, elements of horror, and character death.

Ineffable Bureaucracy and Ineffable Husbands

So, especially in the early days after the release of S2, I saw and heard a lot of people comparing these two as if they were the same. There were fan comics and fanart and fanfiction that included dialogue that was something along the lines of "why are they so healthy after only a few years and we aren't?" or "why do THEY get a happy ending and we don't?" And I mean, I haven't seen any of that in a while so maybe people have come to this conclusion on their own, but just in case, I wanted to point out

That they are fundamentally different. They are not the same.

And the reason why comes down to this conversation from 2x3:

So, hold this conversation in your brain while we go through this.

First of all, we have our Ineffable Bureaucracy, Gabriel and Beelzebub.

So these are the ones who, figuratively speaking, were born in a castle.

Gabriel was the Supreme Archangel for however many millenia, and Beelzebub was the Grand Duke of Hell for the same, roughly speaking. They are equals in positions of power.

So, when they fall in love, you have two supernatural authorities who have lived their existences believing that they can reasonably expect to have and keep whatever they want. After all, that's exactly what their lives have been (with the one exception being Beelzebub's Fall) - they want something, they get it, they keep it, and no one tells them no.

The biggest risk is to Gabriel. If Heaven were to find out, he would Fall. I can imagine Beelzebub being a bit concerned, but "Oh no," Gabriel probably figured "I Fall to Hell, and straight into your arms!" And I could see Beelzebub with a little smirk saying "I'd look after you, babe," in response.

The only time Gabriel actually worries is when he finds out that there's another punishment that he didn't realize was a possibility.

Falling to Hell is one thing, but having his memories erased is an actual threat, and possibly the first time he's ever been told no. This is when we see him panic, and leave Heaven in a mess, storing his memories away to keep them safe from the Metatron. We find out later that he was on his way to Hell anyway and just forgot halfway there and got lost.

And so, we have two beings who were always told they were Good Enough, who approached each other knowing they were able to have whatever they wanted, and were therefore able to communicate and fall in love in a healthy way. They didn't need to tip toe or hide, because they had no reason to believe anyone would ever tell them no until someone did. Their risk, because of their positions of authority, wasn't nearly as great as Aziraphale and Crowley's risk.

So now we come to our Precious Ineffable Husbands

Crowley and Aziraphale start off in much lower positions on the Celestial Food Chain. We know that they have to be very careful about their relationship to avoid the repercussions. They can't mention The Arrangement out loud, they can't put their feelings for each other into words. It has been made clear to them that they are always being watched, and anything they have can be taken away from them on a whim.

So how can they communicate safely when they've spent millenia living on eggshells and tightropes? Of course they won't, and of course it's going to be much harder for them to believe they can once they finally are safe. I definitely believe that they will get there (for my own wellbeing I have to believe that their love is stronger than anything), but they will need to fight tooth and nail in a way that Gabriel and Beelzebub didn't. All because they aren't figures of authority.

It might honestly be another good argument for Crowley taking the Grand Duke of Hell job (even though I reeeeaaaally don't want him to). It would put them in the same position as Gabriel and Beelzebub, and might give them the footing to actually escape the system (even though I think it's more likely that they're going to dismantle and/or repair the system in s3, but that's my own opinion).

These two pairs aren't mirrors of each other. Rather, they illustrate the problems with inequity that Crowley was pointing out in Edinburgh. And if S2 showed us that, I'm hoping S3 will show us possible solutions for it.
