What are AGSZC and Squall's favorite teas?

Oh this is a cute question! Thanks for adding mr grumpy paws too lol.

Angeal likes most teas, he drinks tea over coffee most day. People praise him for not being caffeine dependent but most people are not aware Tea (particularly black tea) has more caffeine than coffee. That being said, Angeal does enjoy a nice cup of camomile before bed. His mom used to always keep some for special sleep emergencies when he was little, and it reminds him of rainy nights with his parents, riding out thunderstorms and sipping floral tea as his dad complaines it “gives me hayfever this stuff I swear! ACHOOO”

Genesis mostly consumes coffee with enough sugar in it to stun a horse, however he does like matcha. His go to tea though is a dried Banora white blend his father’s grounds keeper used to make. It was more of a herbal infusion than a tea, but with a generous about of honey and some cinnamon stick it used to calm Gen right down. Frank would give it to him when he’d stormed out the house crying because of his parents. The two would then sit together in Franks little kitchen and inhale the scent as a grounding technique. It still works.

Sephiroth he likes earl gray. Gast used to drink it when teaching Sephiroth all sorts of things, sometimes he’s give Seph his own little cup and they’d have a mini heated debate about the crime that is putting milk in earl gray. Gast said it made it more palatable, while Sephiroth is of the belief that it is an offence punishable by death. He has some opinions about tea.

Zack ? You think he drinks anything but energy drinks? Bah! Nope! He doesn’t actually like hot drinks, not even cocoa, says it all tastes weird when it’s not cold. Angeal did once give him a sleep tea for his insomnia that he tried and it knocked him out like a brick to the head. It made him suspicious of all tea.

Cloud likes milky black tea (so what most brits drink basically) kalm breakfast blend that his ma used to keep for guests they never had. He likes it to be pale with milk, because of course he does. He also likes peppermint tea for after he’s murdered his insides with that much milk in his tea.

Squall “coffee, black, I don’t do tea”. He’s a lier. He doesnt actually like coffee it just keeps him awake long enough to withstand the horrors. His actual favourite tea is a blend Selphie gave him for his anxiety. It’s spiced camomile and vanilla with roasted chicory root and some honey. Like Genesis Squall gets a little out of control of himself sometimes and needs the smell and the warmth to ground himself back to reality. Drinking it lowers his blood pressure quite significantly.

What is your favorite gaming YouTube channel?

Not a huge gamer outside of CRK, but aside from the channels focused on reviews and tips for that, I typically watch ChilledChaos and ZeRoyalViking's videos/streams.

They usually play games that are multiplayer, and I enjoy the interactions between them and the other streamers.

1, 2, and 21 for the salty asks!

What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get? I guess Aethelflaed x Erik? I mean it reeks of Stockholm syndrome and also they never had any development in their relationship. Like, at all. He was nice to her for a few minutes and all of a sudden she wants to fuck him? AFTER she was sexually assaulted by her husband...? you would figure she would be more, idk, cautious? But whatever...

Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP? As I said in a previous post Uhtred and Aethelflaed should have remained platonic. I think Finan and Eadith are cute together, but I am also happy for her that she left and got to have her own life away from the bullshit. Other than that, I don't know of many OTPs in this series.. a cursory glance at AO3 shows mostly Finan x Sihtric stuff so... uh... yeah

What are your thoughts on crack ships? I don't do them personally but I love seeing the creativity of the fandom so, I think it is funny!

1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 14?

What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

Grumm, probably.

3. Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?

Don't recall that, tbh. I unfollowed a bunch of people once I left an old fandom of mine, but it wasn't because of an opinion.

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

dfgdf I'm so much of a fandom baby help No, hasn't happened yet and I hope it won't.

8. Have you received anon hate? What about?

Not on Tumblr or ao3 and not over fandom.

9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?

h e l p I don't think I even dislike a character in this fandom. There are a lot I don't particularly care about, but "dislike" is too strong of a word. I will confess to another fandom thing, and that is that I had disliked Batgirl for so long. She got on my nerves and I don't even remember why by this point.

14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?

People that I've seen referred to as "big names" or "gods of x" are not that good. They're usual, normal people with a hobby of writing/drawing/theorising in the HK universe. I am literally begging, stop acting like there are any "gods" in the fandom.

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

(Accidentally mis-clicked enter on my last ask. Here's the full "ask")

What he says...

VS What I read...

("us" as in him and WWX, not the spider just to be clear)

They should make an adaptation called 'The Unfiltered', where Lan Wangji says exactly what's on his mind.

Batman (2016) #160

batman. are you fucking stupid??? is that even in question?!!??!?!

[iheartbookbran]

My favorite part about the Debling plot was Penelope and Cressida doing the most over there top cat-fighting in order to win him over, not because they genuinely liked the guy, but because they wanted to escape their families and also lowkey just hate each other.

the (mcu) avengers could NOT handle the fact that eddie is basically living out a live action tentacle hentai every thursday through sunday and sometimes on wednesday if he feeds venom tator tots okay?

[lilislegacy]

i miss the days of you pointing out ricks subtle percabeth innuendos that i never noticed bahaha

you got any for us that you have never posted?

LOL. god you guys did love those, didn’t you? 😂

i’m not sure if there are any that i’ve never mentioned tbh. but besides annabeth’s grunt-whimpering during their kiss in BoO, and of course the stable scene in MoA, these are the ones at the very top of my head. i’m sure i’ll think of more later lol

[saltydkdan]

Do I need to/should I watch all the previous seasons of friendlocke before starting the current one? I want to but there's so much

You don’t need to! The first 2 seasons are connected, but Pokémon Violet is completely disconnected from the previous ones. It’s meant for new people :)

If you like it, then you can check out the first two and have plenty to check out later on!

“If you report them and there’s actual proof then they’ll be punished. You should report.”

I have an ask in my ask box along these lines and I just want to say…

I reported what happened to me as a child. Seven years of sexual and physical abuse by someone in my family.

I went through the court process for years. Got victim blamed on the stand. And it was Hell.

In the end, he pled guilty and you know what he was given for his plea deal? A curfew. He didn’t serve a single day. He had to be in his house by a certain time at night until a certain time in the morning.

I knew a girl who was sexually abused by her mom’s boyfriend. He admitted guilt right away. You know what happened? He did serve time but he only went to jail on the weekends for about a year and was able to keep dating the mom but he had to live somewhere else so he lived across the highway.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t report. That’s a personal decision. I’m just saying to quit shaming people who don’t. Outside of the fact there often isn’t justice, sometimes reporting is re-traumatizing. Or comes with other consequences.

I got raped at 18 and 23 and never reported either because of the shit I went through in the courts. If I was victim blamed for stuff that happened when I was 6 years old to 13, surely it would be much worse as an adult.

Whether someone reports or not is personal and their decision. It is not on them if the person does it to someone else.

24 for salty asks?

24: Would I recommend The Last Kingdom to a friend? Yes, absolutely! Despite my criticism I do love this show, and would love to get more people sucked into it like I have! lol

[astorichan]

26 and 27 for the salty asks?

26. Most shippable character?

Hollow & Grimm, since i have two ships for each of those. Also since that's the extent that my shipping goes dsgsd

27. Least shippable character?

For me personally, Ghost, since I headcanon them as way too aroace for shipping. I enjoy other people's works, though, so this is a soft headcanon and not a hard one :>

One of my favourite moments in da2 is when, right after you go looking for Anders for the first time, you are confronted by a group of civilians who are fully prepared to kill you because they think you're wanting to harm or expose Anders. Like just completely normal, average people who have banded together to protect the guy who protects and cares for them all. Imagine being such a positive and well-loved force for good in a community that you have regular people so ready to die or kill to keep you safe and hidden. It's beautiful
