Brewing alcohol became 100000% more exciting when I realised it doesn't just produce alcohol, but also LAVA LAMP:

This is from Day 8ish of Pumpkin Mead, after I cooked down some of the solids and topped up with more honey solution and yeast nutrient.

There's a cool effect where, in the sediment layer, trapped gas slowly builds up, forming a little peak in the sediment. Eventually, the peak reaches a critical point and forms a small geyser, shooting up a little stream of buoyant sediment! When it reaches the top, it dissipates and falls back down.

For some reason, this effect travelled clockwise around the jar for long enough that I could predict where the next jet would form, and decided to record it.

An update from my sister's blog @thestudentfarmer

Hello and Good day~

Yesterday was a busy day! As I cant grow/process everything we eat (yet! Someday maybe the majority, but until then I'm good with growing as much as possible.) it was grocery shop day. Then Did meal prep for the week, I usually do a short bit of meal prep on grocery day but I tried to be a bit better with it this week to try and save time so I can get some pattern work and sewing done later. :)

The start of the meal prep, veggie portion. I like to wash my produce with water and baking soda. (I save the rinse water for the flower patch) ratio for me is a half sink of water, 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Mix to dissolve.

Pictured~

shredded cabbage, carrots (shredded, noodle sliced, coined), mushrooms (sliced and cubed), diced tomatoes, bell peppers (diced. Julienned, coined and a few snacks), jalapeno (coined and diced), onion (diced and frozen), honeydew, potato salad

Salsa (tomato, onion, pepper, jalapeno), dumpling mix (ground pork, minced cabbage, minced carrot, onion, ginger seasonings), bag of veggie soup start.

Fermented fridge pickles (pickle solution, cucumber, onion, jalapeno, pickle seasoning)

Start of apple cider vinegar. I'm going to try and make it again for personal use.

Super small garden goodies~

Our first radishes of the season!

Plus this lovely web I spotted this morning

As well as an update on the sweet potato flowers

The blooms don't last long, ive noticed most fall off the next day.

I did a little online sleuthing and like regular potatoes, sweet potatoes can make seeds (though vines are the best way to propagate them) It's advised that the seeds might not really produce anything decent but I admit I'm curious more to see how it grows now and goes through seed development. If they produce seed I'll save them for a future grow experiment and experience.

I'll likely be pinching the flowers off from the other vines so they continue producing vines and greens. I've liked having a form of fresh greens available for soups, stirfrys and omlettes.

That's it for now, I'm off to do some critter care~

Decided to nail down my design for this dingus, lol. I think he's face turned out a bit more robust in that 3/4ths view than I intended, but hey! It gets the idea across.

I'm really proud of this :}

A humble doodlesheet beneath the cut [minor alcohol cw]:

Life is hard as an 18-yro ex-hero apocalypse refugee trying to rent his wares. No friends but your bird(?) and this child you pay rent to.

These games are something else.

Now, onto the rambling proper:

I wanted to further the contrast between Link and Ravio even further. I gave Ravio a stockier frame(what else do I do with robed characters?) and made him a few years older. He looks stronger, sturdier.

And yet, he's actually quite sickly. His dark skin is pale and blotchy, with circles under his eyes. He suffers from malnutrition in the wake of Lorule's ongoing famine, and as such, despite his formidible strength, is saddled with frequent fatigue. That man sees shrimp colours when he stands up. He is a worn, weary, wary thing.

Regarding his garb, I took a page out of Yuga's book when it came to the undergarments you can see peeking from beneath the robe, as well as the shape of the boots. Lorulian fashion, baby! The world may be ending, but at least we have our colourful stripes and pointy shoes.

Also pulled minor inspiration from the Happy Mask Salesman, what with the gold ornamentation(especially near the wrists and throat) on his own purple garb. While not nearly as cumbersome, I gave Ravio some sacks, pouches and pockets. He's a travelling merchant! Where else is he gonna keep his stuff?

May or may not give Ravio a cooler skintone, but I don't want to lose the contrast against the purple.

I could probably go on and on, but I'll leave it here <3 Hope he brings you Joy.

Had some good news and got a few things done today after a dispiriting and debilitating evening yesterday.

Edible's about to hit if my timing is correct so 3-2-1-liftoff, I deserve it.

   In order to understand Satoru, one has to look at the condition of the Gojo Clan. Note, a lot of these headcanons co-exist with @achroanimus who has acted as his guardian for centuries. The crux of the Six Eyes is reincarnation, an endless life cycle that is constantly looping, it was only severed when one inheritor was murdered in infancy. Does this grant them high social standing? Yes, but the birth of the Six Eyes is viewed as a reunion, many will attest, all are a little different than the last but not without delight / love.

    It was only after the gruesome act of assassination that an inheritor was never to be raised among others, taken care of by a slew of nannies && attendants, this would mean Satoru has no indication of who birthed him or sired him. He is sired by the Gojo Clan's rare anomaly - a son by the name of Itsuki who's namesake is that of a Great Tree. Itsuki is just that, he is the willow with deep roots that upholds the idealogy of the family; they are born of nothing blessed of the heavens, they shall remain modest && devout, Itsuki would serve his role to assure a child of reunion was brought into this world. In modern terms; he is no one, deemed a nothing son, as he is not the inheritor of the Six Eyes but a medic with incredible RCT skills. The great willow tree is known for his aloofness but unfathomable love for the Honored One even if he was denied a chance to properly raise his son. While Satoru is the small serpent who becomes a dragon, Itsuki remains as the roots of the family, branching out while constructing order, forbidding those who seek entrance to the estate with formidable force - his gaze is thunderous blue mimicking the storms; fearsome, ferocious, quiet && utmost loyal to his young lordling. Today, he handles medicine && stitching his child back together, among the other noble families, he is deemed snake that would stab anyone even his own to protect Satoru. In Itsuki's eyes, Satoru is more than a God, he is still a beloved son. Moving onto where the Gojo Clan resides!

          There are two estates, one in Tokyo is that ultra modern && beautiful, it can be found within the Chiyoda ward, Satoru is rarely if ever seen there. In fact, his true whereabouts or primary residency is a mystery but it’s nestled within the city in the most unlikely of places, though he does tend to venture from safe house (being assassinated for generations sure makes life difficult). The primary estate is in Hokkaido nestled against the mountain region, he does in fact have a cabin somewhere that he tends to use liberally once back home, Satoru will only return in the winter to uphold any diplomacy. Though, his dialect tends to be strange as it masks the truth of his natural tongue, because of the rich agriculture, he tends to favorite fruits && spring flowers, due to the guardianship of Inari’s kin, the Gojo Clan never would understand the ordeal of a harvest that did not flourish. Rice is also considered a good omen from their clan, onigiri is a constant snack he seems to enjoy either grilled or with umeboshi as he abstains from eating meat. The Gojo Clan within Hokkaido is referred to as rowan’s, the analogy of him being a rowan in the snow is ever constant, some use it as a term of endearment others to sneer.

    They are all aware of what it takes to home a God && have no indication of showing any resistance or fear, the seldom belief is to follow their deity && ignore all else as trivial matters mean little. The other families are barred entrance into both estates, they have proved themselves in days of yore to be tainted, thus they are not allowed to proceed further. Naoya (@antinomos) is the only one who Satoru will allow to visit as the two were on mutual terms as children, friends even he will often recall, but both heirs have to adhere to the same cycle that is never ending. These are just smaller headcanons that have been collected here.

Their moniker is the dragonfly, Satoru since childhood always wears robes with the same print, silver is often stitched into their robes && for those who have a higher rank; gold. Hence, he tends to wear jewelry in such hues, diamonds && sapphires are extremely coveted.

Sweet incense are constantly burned, there is a deep scent of ylang-ylang within their lodgings, the attendants like to boast mulled cider or wine is a specialty drink even if Satoru cannot drink it (they make him tea or cocoa). 

The Inverted Spear of the Heavens rightfully belonged to them in the Heian Era but was lost in conflict, since it is one of few cursed tools that can rightfully kill Satoru && other Six Eyes, they will pursue it at all cost. It is viewed as the arm of the Six Eyes, thus, to own it is rendering a God to kneel. Toji's usage of it was brutal enough that all eyes awakened, furious a nothing son of the Zen'ins would dare to growl at the Honored One, Satoru loathes this relic to bits - it terrifies him.

Since the Kitsune blessed them, it’s normal to find in both estates effigies of foxes, in Hokkaido the vulpine return during the winter && bring great delight. There is a rather generous shrine that has been kept for generations, always with an offering, always burning with glee. Satoru himself also keeps fox charms or trinkets upon himself, even if he is meant to resemble a serpent, the Hydra.

The mark of those born into the Gojo Clan often are stormy hued eyes, silver to soft white hair, pale ice blonde was once a noticeable trait but considered an ill omen. It is rare for anyone with their blood to inherit black hair but not unheard of it will dim to a pepper color in maturity. They tend to carry an arrogance or relaxed nature, knowing deeply none will trample upon them && hold this knowledge like a vice.

Satoru was born to a woman known as Umeko, he has hinted that he is unaware of who his mother is. The heir was raised by many attendants along with milkmaids, Umeko was known to show favor, thus breaking tradition the child should not know who their parental figure is solely for safety protocol. She would remove her veil to play with him, as if imprinting a reminder there was someone who had a similar face, as Satoru recalls - he has her eye shape, lips, nose, and long willowy structure. Like previous members of the family, she was able to uphold Infinity, using it to steal time with her child && fall asleep under the plum trees together. Itsuki never had the heart to tear them apart, she departed from the estate on Satoru's fourth birthday, thus his memory is murky of her. He always is saddened when murmuring, I look like my mother. Although, his bone structure in his facial features mimics Itsuki's - dimpled, boyish, high cheekbones with a elegant jaw structure.

Shoutout to the 1mil+ scoville hot sauce my friend made. A little dab of it on some food is unironically like getting a buzz from a beer or something. You dont really think of spicyness as a substance to take, but when it is this strong it is absolutely like taking a drug. Some not quite shower thoughts for the evening.

I successfully moved my (kinda) active ferments from the old place to the new!

I need them somewhat visible so I can tell if something has gone wrong, but somewhat out of the way so I don't bump them. This might not be their final home, but I want to move them as little as possible, so I need to choose a sensible location.

So I appropriated this Ikea KALLAX shelf in the basement.

My partner was very amused with my choice of location.

The shelf is across from a couch and coffee table in our finished basement. Underneath a TV wall mount.

Like, it kinda implies that someone would come sit on the couch and instead of watching TV they would watch the Kraut Box 😁

And maybe that someone is me.

please do not see this as me shading wolfwood but rather adding more tragedy to his character but wolfwood is NOT included in the found family dynamic of the group, in fact its barely a found family, its 2 coworkers turned best friends who try to take in the stray dogs on the street but one goes missing (fucking dies) and the other is still a flight risk thats slowly warming to their affection, like when ppl go "omg found family☺️💖" like please u are SO sweet and i love that u see that in them but i simply think theyr all too distant to be considered that even by the end of the series but thats not a negative thing at all, it makes toying with their dynamics a bit more captivating for me

like meryl and milly want so badly to be a found family/group of besties who heal together but wolfwood was too busy dying and vash has 150+ years worth of trauma and being a distant loner on his back

My kimchi at 22 days in fermentation from 5/20 to 6/11. right at this point it is amazing: all the flavors are melded together but the cabbage still retains its crunch!
