does anyone here know what oil to use with my oil lamp? the reservoir is ceramic, with an adjustable tubular cotton wick and open top glass chimney. Right now I have crown brand clear lamp oil but a lot of sources online say not to use that because it will ruin my wick. A few sources say to use either aladdin brand or firefly brand lamp oil, but theyre a bit more expensive than what I currently have

The fact that you can get hurricane lanterns off of temu is concerning to me. Those things can NOT be durable, OR work properly

The future costs more in some places. Before the light of day could wash its face and admire its reflection, Lito was already up, toes feeling the coarseness of still cold sand along with other dead things: sea shells, seaweed, and hope that washed ashore. There is no other way but through the mangroves where the water has been kind enough not to claim the lives of the children who tread there.…

The absolute otherworldly experience that would be sex at Henry’s place. His strict use of kerosene lamps would pave way to such an enchanting setting. Like just imagine the radiant glow and the little shadows contouring every dip of his body. Tehehehe kicking my feet rn. Also he would absolutely revel in it too, with his affinity for aesthetics and whatnot.

mouse, my dear — you, as always, are so incredibly precise and creative with your submissions, i am stunned anew. admittedly, i've completely banished the detail of him exclusively using kerosene lamps in his home out of my mind! i just dramatically clicked open my digital copy of tsh and browsed it via the find tool, and yup, there it is: I had been told by the twins that Henry disliked electric lights, and here and there I saw kerosene lamps in the windowsills. how painfully, achingly pretentious, and yet so in-character. awe-inducing.

and, well, concerning the notion of having sex in a setting such as this one... god, yes. you've almost drawn it all out for me. that warm, luminous, rich glow; prancing shadows upon the walls, especially when you get to it; light folding neatly into each curve of his body, thereby emphasizing them; the dimmed, scorching, hauntingly ominous atmosphere; the vintage feel of it all... ahhh. god.

try to imagine all the types of sex to be had in this setting and i'm sure you're bound to drop unconscious: rough and merciless as an outlet for tension or punishment; gentle and passionate in the dead of night; breathy and desperate after not having seen each other in a long time; vocal and unwound as a distraction from your studies; drunk and blurry as a celebration of a successful exam. anything — in that deep, brassy golden light, so scorching and yet cooling at once, in a way it is both welcoming and alien.

and yes, he would enjoy it just as much — like you said, for the aesthetic of it above all else. his pretentious vein would throb with excitement, wherefore he would only be motivated to please and appeal to you all the more. the antique air of indulging in the generous delicacies that are your bodies while bathed in kerosene lamp glow... yep, that would scratch an itch or two of his that he never deemed reachable. he would lose himself in the appeal of it; he would only want to have sex at his place from then on, or at the very least enjoy it lots more that way. he'd offer more intimacy to you in this setting as well — letting his lips linger and drift upon your skin longer, with a much more scorching effect, and smearing worshiping remarks in latin and greek into your flesh while he's at it. he would be so lenient, so giving, so good to you; authentically falling in love with him would never seem so appealing.

what a wonderful, mind-numbing thought. thank you. i need a cold shower.

the people have spoken... OK what objects (they have to be objects that already exist somewhere else in the game) am I supposed to be putting in Peter's apartment what would it be funny to give him. I've already spent about an hour writing up a tutorial for how to let you sleep in his bathtub alongside implementing "letting you sleep in his bathtub"
